Jinx Proof Tattoos

A bit on the pricey side (not unreasonable considering their location and reputation), but their work is well worth it, you definitely get what you pay for; another artist recently commented on how clean it looks. No signs of ink bleeding or blowing out or signs of premature fading a year after getting the tattoo. Everyone is friendly and efficient; I was quoted about 45 minutes and was done in just under 30. Would definitely recommend, they also take walk ins.

Went in to schedule a small tattoo and they could see me as a walk in. I worked with Nico and he was so patient and nice! It was my first tattoo so he walked me through every step and was so pleasant and easy to talk to. The shop is clean, the staff is nice, and I had an extremely positive experience.

Highly recommend Jinx Proof if you want to get a tattoo. My tattoo artist Kevin spent three hours on a large arm piece of mine and it came out amazing. Highly professional and great artists. Def recommend!

My best friend and I are from Virginia and came to DC for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. We were looking for an amazing tattoo shop to do two tattoos on both of us and we definitely found one. Tony was amazing. Very professional and precise. My tattoos are absolutely beautiful. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again guys!

I had a fantastic experience with Kevin (and the whole staff was nice as well - they were friendly, helpful, and struck up conversation.) I walked right in and was getting a tattoo within fifteen minutes. The price is medium-high, but you are paying for great care and great work. (The price was higher than my estimate from Electric Cat Scratch on Florida Ave. and cheaper than my estimate from Fatty's in Dupont.) Kevin was very accommodating, was great at keeping up conversation while giving me the tattoo, and was very cautious in keeping the pain/nerve of the situation down to a minimum. I would absolutely recommend.

Got a tattoo from Tony at JinxProof several weeks ago (I have several, all from different shops and artists). The shop is very clean with private tattoo stalls and several different artists. I was able to walk in with my design on a Friday afternoon, get a stencil, and get to tattooing! I was very pleased with the ink, it healed nicely and looks fabulous, just what I wanted. After it had fully healed, I noticed a few minor details that had been on the stencil had not been tattooed, so I went back, and Tony was apologetic and added them for free. (They were very minor and I debated about whether to go back, and finally chose to do so. I really appreciate Tony agreed to add them for free.) Four stars for two reasons: price (but it's DC, and tattoos should be pricey--you get what you pay for), and you can't haggle directly with the artist about sizing/details to adjust price. However, the shop and staff are professional, the tattoo looks great, and the artist was wonderful. I would recommend the shop and I would definitely get another piece here.

Jinx is A1 young lady name Karl was so awesome she went over everything about my piercing ver professional and sweet I would recommend everyone I know go here awesome awesome place 🎉👏🏾

My visit with Tony Morrell years ago, in my early 20's was such a bad experience that I swore off tattoos till recently where I was able to have a little more faith in tattoos again. To start off, he had a bad attitude but since it was my first tattoo, I just assumed this isn't the kind of industry where there's such thing as customer service so I didn't think much of it. But the part that was completely unacceptable was the mistake he made on my tattoo. He didn't even bother telling me about it. I found the mistake when I got home. When I called to tell him about it, not a care in the world, no apology no offer to compensate in any way what so ever. Haven't got a tattoo for almost 10 years since this experience.

Im glad the tattoo industry has blown up as big as it has now bc there's many other artists you can choose from who are great people and talented artists. This guy is neither of those things. My current artist gives off a completely different vibe, great person and extremely talented. There are other artists out there folks, do not settle with Tony Morrell. If this is your FIRST tattoo, find someone else, 100%! Perhaps it could've been my age or the fact that it was my first tattoo he felt he could take advantage, whichever one it is, stay away. If he makes a mistake he will not acknowledge it. Even if you have to spend a little extra money, it is permanently on your body, do not settle! Find a dependable artist who has a large social media presence! Unfortunately for me, there was no such thing as "social media" at that time.

I don't know about any other artists at Jinx Proof, this review is solely based on my experience with Tony Morrell.

I went in to get a simple meaningful tattoo that I had drawn out. Unfortunately they couldn’t do it the size I wanted because of the lettering. They said that overtime it would start to blend together. We worked through the design and found a size that I liked but that would still be practical. I had Tim as my tattoo artist and he was amazing. I was terrified and he quickly put my mind at ease. We talked the entire time with good conversation. I can tell he clearly cares about his customers and their experience at his shop. I will be back! My tattoo was a lot pricier than I expected, but it’s not evident that they can charge so much because of their clean shop, customer service, and all-over great experiences.

Their work is very high quality but the overall experience feels like going to the dentist. I’ve had 2 tattoos done by Jinx and I’m comfortable saying that I jinxed myself by expecting to have fun. If you’re looking to put ink on your body, they will do it, but, If you’re looking for an exciting tattoo experience, keep looking.
