I came in to get my ears pierced and had a wonderful experience with Violit. These were my first ever piercings and she helped me feel relaxed and positive the whole time - I especially appreciated her breathing techniques to get through the actual piercing quickly and easily. Everything was very clean, the environment was calm, and the staff members were super friendly. I’m thrilled with the placement of my piercings and the earrings themselves. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to get some piercings!

It’s been roughly a month since I got a tattoo done by Sami. She was very kind and professional, made the experience a breeze. Front desk staff were also very professional. Front retail area of the store and the back tattoo areas are both very well lit and clean.
The website makes it very easy to know what forms you need to fill out and what you need to bring prior to your appointment. Overall they have a very nice website, easy to navigate.
Was given a handy little bookmark with my aftercare instructions. If I’m ever in Asheville again I’d love to get another tattoo here.

What a fantastic place! Clean, relaxing and accommodating - Coming here has been the best experience getting tattooed for me, personally.
Kate did my tattoo, she is doing a perfect job with a cover up for me. 3 sessions later, the cover up is done, looks and healed fantastic.
I will absolutely come back and book with Kate for any other tattooing/touch up needs - Highly recommend!!

Thank you Violet for piercing my septum. You made it go by so fast. It looks great on me too! Now I just have to do my part and do all the proper aftercare. Also great stone and jewelry selection. Also , I bought a book during my visit that I am excited to read!

From start to finish this was a very pleasant experience. Kelli (Ornamental Alchemy on Instagram) was responsive, attentive, and a creative powerhouse. The vibe of everyone there puts such a positive energy into the experience. I would recommend this shop to anyone, and Kelli specifically. Thanks yall!

Zen tattoo was honestly the best experience I have ever had at a tattoo parlor - I have 6 tattoos, been to multiple tattoo places and this has been the absolute best. Their prices are high because you are paying for them to take their time, follow cleaning standards to a T, and really make you feel comfortable. Haji did my tattoo and he was so kind, professional and detail oriented. Also did want to say - my tattoo is a character from a movie - this is definitely not all or even some of what the artists here can do. So talented and professional. Definitely will be back for more from them!

I would recommend this tattoo shop over all others that I’ve been to. The artists and owner are all so sweet and involved with everything going on in the shop, everyone will talk to you and make sure you’re having a comfortable experience. My girlfriend and I have been getting tattooed there for years now! I especially recommend Mychela and Kate. :) <3

Awesome shop and artist! Great atmosphere!
This was my first tattoo, Nic really took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable, and loved the design. Paid attention to tiny details and was a perfectionist. Recommend Nic to anyone... could not ask for a better experience!!

Very relaxing environment surrounded by very friendly tattoo artists!
I had Kate and she was amazing! She saw me before they closed and was super sweet and caring and made the whole appointment about me. She did an amazing job and made me feel comfortable the whole time. She was also very professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely get my next tattoo done by her!
