What Richmond studios say about themselves
Going by their own listings, Richmond tattoo studios emphasize custom work across diverse styles, including traditional, neo-traditional, black and grey, realism, and illustrative designs. Lucky 13 Tattoos & Piercing and Loose Screw Tattoo highlight their clean, welcoming environments and professional service. Many studios welcome both walk-ins and appointments, while others like Sword and Casket Tattoo operate as appointment-only private studios. Several shops, including Pink Possum Tattoo and Heartfelt Tattoo, emphasize inclusive spaces for marginalized communities. A few studios, such as True Tattoo and Turquoise Panther Tattoo, focus exclusively on tattooing without piercing services.
