Blue Flame Tattoo

11/18/2008 Posted 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

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

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

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

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

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.

I had an awesome experience at Blue Flame with my first tattoo and plan to return there for all my future tattoos. Mark is awesome and i recommend him to everyone i know. Also, i've had about four or five piercings done there and didnt feel any of them at all. Jason and Billy are both awesome. the people who had bad experiences at Blue Flame are probably also the people who send their food back at restaurants ten times because they dont like red onions on their salad..

Pros: everying about blue flame rocks!

Cons: dont sit near the blue flame lights or you'll get shocked/yelled at..

I got my first tattoo at the Blue Flame, from Ray. When I went into the shop the first time to inquire about getting a tattoo, the first guy I talked to was kind of rude, for whatever reason. The second guy I talked to was Ray, and as it turned out, his portfolio was also my favorite. Ray was great. It was a simple tattoo, but colorful, and I trusted him to make sure it was better than I could have imagined on my own. He did a lovely job, and he was a very personable guy. Later, he gave me a touch up and the tattoo looked better than ever. Despite the rudeness of the first person I talked to, I still classify the Blue Flame as five stars. Several of my friends have gotten work done there by other artists (Christy and Mark), and it's always been wonderful. Many different kinds of people were coming in out of the shop the couple of times I was in there, and none of them appeared to be receiving poor treatment based on arbitrary social distinctions. They made me feel comfortable and didn't scoff at me or my tattoo idea. I will almost certainly be back.

Pros: Very reasonable pricing, pleasant staff

Cons: As in any customer-service environment, some employees are crabby

I spent hours reading these online reviews before going to Blue Flame to get my first tattoo. The staff was very helpful (no problem with customer service) and my artist, Ray, made several changes I requested to the design. He was very nice, professional, and explained step-by-step everything he was doing. My tattoo cost less than I expected, the service was way better than I expected, my tattoo looks better than I expected (and hurt much less than I expected!) So overall, the whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Clean, friendly, private rooms, professional. Couldn't be any better unless it was free!

Pros: private rooms, very clean, professional, friendly, sensitive to those who have never done this before!

Cons: honestly, none!

If you are a cute young girl, your experience will probably be good and they will ink whatever you want no matter how terrible. If you are a male who is not covered head to toe in tattoos already however, they will treat you like total garbage. Very pretentious, rude, and condescending. They think they are superior to people not already in their sad little clique.
