Never come back there

by preciousivory

The staff is not friendly... seems like a snob. Customer service is very poor.

happy with the tattoo, but not the service

by manicbutterfly

I really wanted to like my experience there. The store looks amazing, the people at the front desk were great, friendly, sweet.

I do like my tattoo - its just what I wanted and he did a good job - but maybe its because I'm a middle-aged mom, not a hot young chick, but the person doing my tattoo barely acknowledged my presence the entire time I was there. It was really awkward!.

I had to go back to get it touched up a bit since the color was spotty after healing and it was the same situation! He was pleasant enough when he greeted me, but barely spoke to me while working and really didn't fix the color correctly. Its like he couldn't wait to be finished.

I'd go again but definitely get another artist. I've read the reviews, and others seem to really like him, so I'll just chalk it up to him being age-ist. Another older friend went there and got a different artist and she had a super positive experience so I won't give up on them completely.

• Pros: great tattoo
• Cons: stand-offish artist

Extremely Friendly!

by TaraxTextrovert

I just had my nose pierced at blue flame yesterday. Jason was my piercer and he did an excellent job. He walked through all of the steps of aftercare with my mom and I before he pierced me. We had to wait a little while but it was worth it. He has answered so many of my questions through email and has been very understading with me through the whole process. The shop looks great. It is very clean with private rooms and it is very stylish looking. I would definantly reccomend Jason for any piercings. If I ever get another I will definantly go back to him. Thanks blue flame!

• Pros: Friendly staff, clean, private rooms
• Cons: none!

Excellent Customer Service & Kick A** Atmosphere

by Pandaluver

This studio is one of the cleanest places I have ever seen. When you walk in you are helped right away, the desk people can answer any questions you have right off the bat. What I liked was that the artists don't seem like you are wasting their time, they pay full attention to you, and try to understand what you are looking for, instead of sending you to the flash books for ideas. I came out of the shop with a beautiful tattoo that couldn't have been done any better

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Nothing

My Piercings Have Found A Home.....

by JLRobin

I don't know were some of the other reviewers went but it could not have been Blue Flame. The have been friendlily, helpful and knowledgeable. I went in after having a bad experience and was a little nervous. I went in yesterday and spoke to Ashley. I told her that my bar was too long and I wanted to change it out. She was very understanding and said the the length of the bar I had was excessive. I told her I was going to come back to see about some more piercings. Well I went back today and talk to Jason who is sweet and loves piercing as much as I love getting pierced. The prices where below what I paid at my last place and the jewelry selection is much better. All in all a great experience.

• Pros: Great Freindly Staff

Hottest Tattoos and Piercings In NC

by lwhitley09

So basically this is the place to go if you want the most detailed tattoos ever, they are totally gorgeous and catch everyone's eye. You will get comments from everyone on how awesome your tattoo looks. Not to mention the piercings are the best, they will not mess up and are totally sterile. Plus you won't leave the place without being told at least twice how to clean your tattoo or piercing, as well as a sheet telling you, in detail, everything they just told you. Best tattoos and piercings EVER!

• Pros: Customer service, shop layout, portfolios

Best!

by divaliciousgirl777

Blue Flame Tattoo not only has an amazing store front, but their customer service is amazing. While some complain of high prices, you pay for quality, and the artists (both piercers and tattoo artists) at Blue Flame take sanitary to the extremes.

I received my first tattoo there a few months ago and I was blown away by how amazing the level of skill and artistry my artist had. I couldn't have asked for a more phenomenal piece of work on my body and I am honored to say i will wear it for the rest of my life.

My piercer, Jason, has always been more than personable. He is extremely knowledgable and friendly. He is very accomodating and he is always more than willing to talk to you.

Blue Flame by no means deserves a bad reputation. I look forward to going there every single time, and I couldn't recommend a more perfect shop for your body mod's.

• Pros: Convenience, ease, level of dedication and craftsmanship
• Cons: Parking

bad news

by Negsrc

over priced, ripped off, horrible work, better than all feeling, doesnt matter who you are you can be the biggest punk or just some regular joe but unless your a chick with a decent looking body dont bother going, you dont know as much as them.

• Pros: none
• Cons: the whole jump and jove

Full of themselves

by lmforeh2

I'll admit it, I don't look like your average customer to be lingering in a tattoo shop, but it is amazing what clothes can hide. I was in the market for a large 'piece' and I was not even acknowledged when I came in. They wouldn't even make eye contact let alone get up or speak.

After breaking up their conversation so I could ask a few questions, I was completely blown off. Got the same treatment when I went back with my husband. It's a shame for them, I got my piece done in Raleigh and know that BF could hold a candle to the service, artistic experience and price I received elsewhere.

• Cons: Could not be bothered while I was ready to sit down with paper and design

Errol is the F'n Man! Blue Flame IS the Best. F the Rest. Seriously.

by ChiefBigNutz

I have recently completed a half sleeve with Koi and flowers, color on Black/Grey that took 4 sessions and about 7 hrs total. I am insanely satisfied with every aspect of my experience. This was my 1st tattoo and I wanted to go big. From talking with Errol over the designs, the outline, the shading, the color, the touch ups, it has been NOTHING but awesome. His artwork and patience is amazing. I've had friends that have gone elsewhere and are saying, "That's it. No more." They had a crappy go with it. Well, I want more, and am already looking at other designs. Simply put, the quality of work and personality of everyone in that shop is absolutely wonderful. Even people at the desk just conversing when you're on a break. The shop itself is top notch, professional, cool, and damn even the bathrooms are clean! So if you are looking for a tattoo shop and are worried that you'll find a bad place.....just stop looking and go to Blue Flame.
