Black Ink Orlando

I had an amazing experience getting my nose pierced at Black Ink Tattoo. The manager treated me very well and explained everything clearly. My piercing has healed really well, and I’m very happy with the results. Highly recommend!

Paka did a great job! My girls and I went with an idea in mind for matching tattoos. Paka was patient, polite, and professional. He was a perfectionist with the design, and executed our idea perfectly. I would highly recommend him. 🥰

I paid a $100 deposit at an event for a tattoo appointment scheduled during the Villain Arts Tattoo Festival in New Orleans. Prior to the event, I attempted to contact the studio multiple times via email and text due to a federal government shutdown that directly affected my pay and ability to travel as an active-duty service member. No one responded before the convention. After the event passed, I was told the deposit was non-refundable per policy, despite the lack of communication beforehand and the fact that this appointment never occurred. I wasn’t asking to cancel on a whim — I was trying to resolve the situation in advance. Unfortunately, the response felt dismissive and entirely policy-driven rather than customer-focused. I understand deposits protect artists, but there was no effort made to acknowledge the circumstances or their lack of response.

I came in with a vision, and Kevin, aka Paka, brought it to life better than I could have imagined. He listened closely to what I wanted, added his creative touch, and turned the design into a true masterpiece. The detail, care, and artistry are unmatched. Not only do I love the tattoo, but I also appreciated the professional and comfortable experience throughout the process. Highly recommended!

BEWARE! I went to Black Ink Orlando for a belly button piercing and it was a complete disaster. The piercing was crooked, wouldn’t heal, and I later found out the guy pierced the skin above my belly button instead of through it. That’s Piercing 101—no professional should ever make a mistake like that. It was sloppy, careless, and a total waste of time and money. If they can’t get something this basic right, I wouldn’t trust them with any piercing. I’ll never go back and I strongly warn others to stay away.
