Revelation Ink Tattoo and Piercing

Getting my very first tattoo with artist Rafael was a pleasure, and I felt completely safe and reassured throughout the entire process. He was polite, friendly, very clean, sanitized everything, and he has gorgeous paintings on the walls that he did himself that were a pleasure to look at. The staff and the front desk were also friendly. The shop is located on the first level of the building, under the stairs, there are signs making it easy to know where to go. They accept cash only but have an ATM located next to the restroom in the back. Rafael's pricing was reasonable and he helped with size and placement of my requested design. Next time I want a tattoo I will be returning!

Both piercings (shoutouts Krissy) and tattoos are A+ here. I had a tattoo done by Aaron recently and I am so impressed by his cleanliness (immediately washing hands in the tattoo space) and following all sanitary guidelines. He has a very gentle and accurate hand! No blowouts or post tattoo issues to speak of. He's hilarious and a good hang during your session if you like to chat during your tattoo. I am normally a very shy and quiet person. Even attending a scheduled appointment is a social strain on me. Aaron made me feel welcomed and comfortable. He had everything prepared for our appointment and was ready to get started. Communication was easy btw and he never left me hanging during the planning process. I'm seriously gonna head back to Aaron the next time I need some ink, which nowadays seems to be all the time for me, heh. Thank you for the lovely tattoo and I look forward to the next one.

I had a great experience with Revelation Ink Tattoo and Piercing in Wake Forest. The shop was clean, professional, and the staff made the whole process comfortable from start to finish. You can tell they take pride in their work and in providing a great experience for their clients. If you're looking for a tattoo or piercing shop in Wake Forest or anywhere in the Triangle area, I would absolutely recommend Revelation Ink. Krissy's attention to detail, professionalism, and quality work really stand out. Definitely one of the best tattoo and piercing studios serving Wake Forest, Raleigh, and the surrounding Triangle communities.
