My boyfriend and I go to chase to get our tattoos done and he’s hands down the best! Such a light hand and very clean. I was nervous to get my industrial done but Mandie convinced me!! And I’m so happy I did it, she was very informative and helped me through the process. 10/10 recommend
The best place Ive found in town!!! The workers are respectful and are willing to work with you to get your tattoo done however you ask for it. They give their honest opinion and will still give you what you ask for even if its not the particular artists preference, Which is great because it helps you get the tattoo as close to what you want as you can get.The owner Marcus is an awesome guy, makes you feel welcome.I met Chase and saw his work and Ive been going to him since! I like his style and shading work. He puts quality before speed. They have some really good artists here. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about getting a tattoo.
This is the best place to get your piercings! Mandie is such a great piercer, and person to work with. I’ve had a few piercings done by her now, as well as recommended and gone with many friends. I’ve never met anyone unhappy with a piercing done here. She is very to the point and keeps it real with you, but In the best way! 11/10 recommend this place. The pricing is absolutely fair with the service and overall experience you receive. I will continue to come here and tell everyone else to as well ️
I found this place just by looking through google maps and liked the pictures that I saw. My tattoo artist was Tayler, she did an amazing job on this tattoo for me. I would definitely like her to do my tattoos in the future. I also got a couple piercings done by Mandie who is super cool and made me feel comfortable. This place altogether is cool and I will definitely be going back :)
Marcus is great and customer service is amazing! Best tattoo artist around! I’ll continue using Elysian for all my tattoos.
Walked in just to check out the place and see pricing as well as to possibly make an appointment and was so happy with the experience I decided to get it done right then and there seeing as they had time for me! Mandie did my piercing wonderfully, she was so fun to be around and made me feel very comfortable!! There was another woman there who was excited for me I’m just not sure what her name is. They have very reasonable prices and my belly button piercing is healing beautifully! I would totally check this place out if I were you. :)
I was pierced by Mandie earlier today and she was absolutely AMAZING! She talked me through every single step, made sure I was completely comfortable before doing anything and was as professional as could be but hilarious at the same time, she also gave me clear instructions for piercing care and told me I could call/text her if I had any questions or issues at all. Anyone wanting any type of piercing should definitely go see her, you will not regret it.
Mandy is awesome! She is the best piercer. My daughter and I had a nose piercing done before by another location and it never healed, just got infected.Well, my daughter tried again with the same problem. I gave up! I called Elysium and spoke to Mandy. She told me we had an allergic reaction to the metal the other business used for our piercings. She uses the best grade titanium and low and behold my daughter and I now have a permanent nose piercing. She also suggested the walgreens First Aid Antiseptic Spray to clean the piercing. It is amazing!!! It numbs the pain, cleans and prevents infection. I also loved the screw nose ring because it doesnt get caught on anything and stays. Thank you Mandy!!! Youre the best!!! Bless you & your family Always!!!
This was my first tattoo and Marcus couldn’t have done any better. The shop is clean, his entire crew was awesome, and his work is on point!! He set up a tv so you can watch as your tattoo is being done (if it’s on your back like mine or anywhere your not able to see it in the process) and will make sure your 100% comfortable and happy during the entire process. ELYSIUM INK is the place to go for any tattoo.
I love this place. Mandie (The BOMB piercer) is the BEST! She is vary nice, vary clean. She talks you though everything and answers all your questions. I have gotten 4 piercings by her and going to keep going for more.She also just pierced my 6 month old nieces ears and did so good my niece did not cry so much!CHECK HER OUT!
I was looking for a tattoo parlor for a new tattoo. Through a friend I found Chase at Elysium. He took my ink paw print and created a beautiful piece of art in my leg. Already have my next appointment to add on. Very professional and clean. All of their artists do amazing work.
Marcus is absolutely the best. I had three tattoos done by him at one appointment. He has a very gentle touch. Absolutely love them. One was a cover up of an old tattoo. It came out beautiful. I would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a tattoo. Thanks for the beautiful artwork that I will cherish forever. You’re the best.
I love Elysium Ink! I get all my tattoos here and recently got my daith, rook and earlobes done. Mandy is wonderful, very professional and kept me relaxed and calm from beginning to end. She made me feel comfortable and talked me through every step. I am so impressed with the experience I get every time im here I wouldnt want to go anywhere else. I will definently be back for more and I give this place 5 stars and then some! Great artists, professional, family oriented, calm environment. I recommend them to everyone I know!
I got a tattoo from Marcus. He made me feel comfortable and explained everything to me. My daughter (17) got two piercings from Mandie. She helped her to remain calm by walking her through the process, step by step. Well definitely be back!!
Have been to the shop a few times in the past for piercings and was very pleased. This time I got a tattoo by Chase Gainey. Turned out amazing!! He even was able to accommodate my friend who came with me. And the owner, Marcus, came over a few times and made sure our experience was going well. Also, the staff at the front desk was super friendly and helpful:) Thanks so much! Definitely recommend Elysium Ink!
Mandie is amazing at what she does! She talked me through the entire process of getting my nose pierced. She made me feel so comfortable, felt like I had known her for years! The piercing itself was super quick and Mandie was reassuring the entire time! Will definitely be going back to her for all my other piercings
Staff was very attentive and personable. They were completely professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session. Excellent artists. I love my tattoo and will be going back to see them in the near future.
Just got tattoo here this past weekend and it was great. Couldn’t of asked for a cooler group of people to get my tattoo from. Chase is an awesome artist and everyone who works here is super friendly and welcoming. They ensure that you get exactly what you want and my tattoo was done perfectly. The shop is also very well kept and has a good vibe. I’d give it 10 stars if I could!
Me and a few friends, along with my mom and brother all went to Mandie to get piercings. Most of which were nose and ear, we all had a good time and were as comfortable as you can be getting a piercing. Mandie was very patient and easy going, which helped a lot with my nerves. I suggest her to anybody wanting a nose/ear piercing!
LOVED MANDIE!!! So welcoming and totally a place I would come if you are like 17+ and getting your first piercing! Like another mother, I’m going to her for every piercing from now on!!! Love you Mandie! ️
They did a great job on my second and third lobe piercings.
Very clean and does a great job! I’ve been here twice and I love Marcus work. Everyone here is very talent. Would recommend!
I went there for a touch up on a old tattoo. Marcus did a amazing job. It looks so much better and stands out the way I in visioned it. Great group of people there. Good music and a very chill vibe. He’s now work on a tattoo for me to honor my late father. Can’t wait to see what he comes up with. If your looking for some new ink or for the first time. I definitely recommend them. You won’t be disappointed and can thank me later. See you guys soon. Tks again Marcus.
Mandie pierced my daughters nose today and went above and beyond to take care of her. This establishment is clean, caring and does superior work. Thank you, Mandie!!
I cant speak highly enough of Marcus and Mandie! This place is easy to be in. Clean and professional and fun too. They both made my first experience very comfortable. I was highly impressed with Mandies knowledge and expertise with piercing. She really is a perfectionist! Marcus was amazing and I love my tattoos! His work is amazing. My husband is thrilled! I highly recommend Elysium for any tattoo and/or piercing. You wont be disappointed!
Thank you Mandy for being so patience and awesome with my daughter!!! My daughter wanted to get her ears pierced for her 8th birthday. Mandy took the time and explained what she would be doing and let her ask any questions/ concerns she may have. It was quick and not too painful according to my daughter lol! We made sure to follow the aftercare instructions given and also bought the suggested bactin spray. We had no infections and/or issues with her piercing. Thanks again Mandy for everything and if we get anymore piercings your the one were coming too!!!
I went in for a nose piercing and Mandy did an awesome job. Not only did she make you feel comfortable but she also got the piercing done quickly. She was hilarious too. I will definitely being going back for more piercings.
I’m still happy with my design, but I noticed as it started to heal the line work on the some areas are off, some of the color is holding but there are several areas missing some color and after the peeling process has no color left in some spots. All after care instructions were followed. I have to wait 4 weeks and get it touched up on the missing color and the line work on several places. Where I went told me I was over charged for the tattoo that I shouldn’t of paid more than $150 for my piece. I paid $350 with a deposit.
Awesome guys, and super detailed work. Definitely recommend.
Great environment cool ppl. Chase did my Tattoo was very professional and did a great job. Will go back and send others to him.
A cozy little tattoo shop with very friendly staff! I came in as a walk in and got a wonderful colourful tattoo by Marcus that Im in love with. Fantastic artist, it came out far better than I had imagined it could. Professional, clean, good music, awesome people, high quality work. Could not recommend enough!
Mandie the piercing artist is AMAZING!!! Always makes you feel comfortable and just stress free while getting your body mods. I highly recommend her
Mandie did a fantastic job piercing both of my tragus. She was polite and funny. Highly recommend her for anyone looking to get a piercing. Very clean tattoo shop and will be going there again. Thank you again!
I received a tattoo from here. Marcus was my artist, I am beyond the moon with the tattoo and his work. It was so fun getting tattooed by him. I recommend this shop!
I went today and got my nose pierced, Mandie was so informative and walked me through the process with such great detail I was completely relaxed. Everyone in the shop was so enjoyable and personable, there are so many options to what jewelry you can choose! 100% would recommend going here.
I was nervous about getting the tattoo, havent had one done in some years...but my artist, Taylor, made me comfortable and she listened to what i wanted! What a beautiful tattoo she designed for me! This place is fantastic!
Mandie was very humorous and knows how to make a client feel comfortable professionally and personal. Would recommend to anyone who is getting piercings for the first time
Me and my sister got our noses pierced today and Mandy did a excellent job of making me feel so comfortable and safe. We will definitely be back!!! 10/10
Very excited about my new piece! Marcus is an amazing artist and really brought my idea to a whole level! The conversations weren’t dull and the music was good too. 10/10 would recommend and I definitely will be going back for more.
This place is amazing! Definitely recommend Chase Gainey, he is super chill and does fabulous work.
My cousin and I gotten our nose pierced today and we had the best experience possible!! I recommend going here for the best service!! Will be coming back!!!
I cannot Express enough how great this shop is! Both Mandie the piercer (she gave excellent advice to my daughters piercing! ) and Brit (amazing tattoo artist) are the nicest and well informed women! If your craving ink or new piercings go here! A little hard to find but worth the effort!
Got my septum pierced today and it was so quick and easy! Mandie is amazing and talked me through the whole thing, while keeping me calm! Would definitely recommend
Love this place. Professional, clean, and friendly! Mandie is an awesome piercer, she was quick with a steady hand and helped me pick which jewelry was best for me.
I will say this. Ive been to other tattoo shops in the past but Elysium Ink tops the cake! The hospitality and professionalism got me hooked. I will definitely be going back. Ask for Chase!
Absolutely love this tattoo shop and the staff. Taylor is amazing and always exceeds my expectations. Will definitely be going back soon!
Mandie was absolutely great with my piercing. Completely professional. Didn’t feel a thing. Recommending my friends to come see her!
I got my septum pierced by Mandy. She did a wonderful job. She was very professional and made the experience so much better! She’s the best!!!!
Chase did my tattoo and he is great! His work is absolutely amazing! Clean line work! Professional and just all around great to work with! Go see him if you want excellent work!
I messaged Marcus for an appointment and he returned my call asap. He did my tatt and Chase did my Sister . Both were very nice and comforting as we were nervous about getting our tattoo on our foot. May I add both (my sister and I) are at the ripe age of 50 yrs young. Thanks to Marcus and Chase, we love our new Ink!!♡♡♡♡
First time going to Elysium Ink. Best experience in a tattoo shop ever! Met some great people tonight, and got an awesome tattoo by Chase. Go check them out!!! Will definitely be going back to get a ton more ink!!.
Marcus and his crew are the most amazing people I have met in a while. Marcus created my tattoo with his own style and it turned out awesome. This is the place to go for all you tattoo needs. Hit Marcus up.
Great environment great staff great artist
Today I got my first tattoo on my foot and as nervous as I was, Marcus made me feel so calm and welcomed throughout the entire process. His work is unmatched and I am in love with the results. 10/10 recommend
This place was great. I will be returning soon for more ink. My wife got her first tattoo tonight and enjoyed the experience. We also got my daughters ears pierced. Brittany did an amazing job on our ink and Mandie was wonderful with piercing. The atmosphere was not intimidating like other shops. Ive been in so many tattoo shops where it felt like you had to fit in to be worthy of ink but at Elysium it was the exact opposite. I have already referred some family members and Im looking forward to the next piece.
Mandie is awesome!! She did both my sons 12 and 11 and my baby girl who is only. 3.5 months old!! She was so patient and funny too!! We all loved her and totally recommend her for children. Thank you Mandie!!
Marcus did my first tattoo for me and it turned out so good! I love it. The place is very welcoming and clean.
Great place me and my bf got matching rick and morty tattoos love them chase was very professional excellent artist will recommend to friends will be back for more
My girl Crystal hooked it up! Been wanting to finish this tattoo for almost a decade! Found Crystal here at elysium and she helped me figure it out color scheme and everything! That k you Crystal you did an AMAZING job on my puerto rican (tribal) flag tattoo! One more visit to finish the rest and its a wrap
Mandy is super nice and is available to answer any questions you have in reguard to piercings. She walked me through the process and made me feel more at ease
UPDATE!!!!!!! HAS TO CHANGE MY TATTOO APPOINTMENT TO NOVEMBER AND JUST GOT MY TATTOO TODAY!!!!!!! Crystal was my artist and will be until she stops tattooing!!! She took so much time and put so much love into this piece for me because she loves what she does and she knew what it meant to me. Also we were there for several hours and got to know Mandie the lady who does the piercing there...... Shes great and has extensive knowledge about her profession. I highly recommend Crystal for a tattoo and why not have Mandie do a piercing while your there??!!!!! Have a tattoo scheduled for October with Crystal. Shes very nice and is genuinely interested in what I want my tattoo to be. Clean place which is very important. Well post an update after my tattoo.
Marcus just finished up with my fiances tattoo, and it looks incredible, hes by far the best artist Ive seen around the area. Definitely plan on having him hook me up with something awesome.
I came in for a piercing and Mandie was just awesome. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I liked that she took her time to make sure everything was even and where she wanted it before continuing. I will be back, thank you!
I am beyond happy with my experience at Elysium Ink!! I have 2 other tattoos I got somewhere else when I was younger and am not in love with 1 of them, and the other has grammar errors!! I called yesterday spur off the moment to discuss a tattoo Ive wanted for almost 4 years! I wasnt expecting to be able to get in to talk to them much less get my tattoo done right then. Marcus called me back, we discussed my tattoo and he asked if I wanted to come then and get it!!This tattoo has had almost 4 years of planning a lot of tesrs, heartache, and pain leading to its cause/meaning, and a hard time finding an artist that felt right to do it. This tattoo is a memorial for my children that are no longer with me.Let me just say Marcus drew up a tattoo on my way there and it was what I wanted and more!! He took what was a blur of an idea in my head and put a masterpiece on paper!!Everyone was kind, and very welcoming that I had to have my 2 year old in towe! (She lived watching by the way!)The amount of kindness, cleanliness, professionalism, conversation, and dedication in this shop is amazing!!Sorry for the long post, but thank you Marcus for making a dream into a reality!! Cant wait to add on and plan a cover up for the other one!
Absolutely love Mandi and the staff here! Quick, efficient and professional while having a relaxed environment. Only place I will come for my ink or piercings.
Took my daughter for her nose and belly button piercing. Very clean and nice people. Mandie was funny and did a wonderful job on the piercings. Highly recommend
I live two hours from Concord, NC, and was going to be up there for a convention. I texted them a week before asking if they could create a unique tattoo for me. Marcus(the owner) responded to my text in a timely manner, and with confidence said he could definitely do what I wanted. He communicated with me all the way up to the day of my appointment.I must say, he exceeded my expectations with an absolutely gorgeous piece of artwork.My teenager also had an eyebrow piercing done by Mandie, who was exceptional, kind, and patient.They also shared their dinner with us to make sure we were not going to be on an empty stomach!!I will definitely be back for more tattoos, because Marcus at Elysium Ink is worth a two hour drive to me.
If you are looking for a great, clean, fun place to get work done youve found it. I just got my 2nd tattoo, and have gotten 4 piercings, and I cant wait to go back. Great atmosphere, music, and people. True artists!
Absolutely loved this place. Some friends and I were out and about in Charlotte and decided we wanted to get tattooed. After several rude conversations with other parlors,.. I called into Elysium and asked about the availability for 2 walk-ins. I was greeted with a friendly and welcoming voice by the Owner Marcus.After our previous experience that hour, they were definitely the winner. From the moment we got there, the staff was so nice. As well as really into the ideas of the tattoos we wanted. All in all, it was definitely one of the best tattoo experiences Ive ever had.Marcus, the owner was amazing and really took my ideas and ran with it, and now I have a beautiful tattoo that I love. Thank you Elysium Ink!!If you want an awesome tattoo experience from passionate artists, go getchu some
GO SEE MANDIE @ ELYSIUM INK!!!!Anyone that knows anything about tattoos, knows that the experience of getting a tattoo is just as important as the ink itself. The environment, the sound of the gun, the smell of the soap can be intoxicating. That experience is why I am so fond of tattoos. I feel like its hard to get that experience with a piercing.... That all changed today when Mandie pierced my septum today! I couldnt have asked for a better piercer! She was very knowledgeable with her craft, took time to explain the piercing to me and walked me right through the entire process. Her attitude was amazing! Very easy going, very fun to talk to, and just one amazing person in general! I have been to this shop multiple times in the past for tattoos but this was my first time for a piercing, but I guarantee it will not be my last! While getting tattooed I have seen Mandie work with others and if you have a piercing itch that needs to be scratched, let her scratch it!! She is not only great with adults, she is amazing with children as well. Number one piercer in North Carolina at the number one shop in North Carolina!! If you visit them I guarantee you will not be disappointed!! Thanks Mandie!! Keep up the amazing work!!
Got my 5 1/2 month olds ears pierced here. The lady was so awesome, taking time to talk to my daughter and did a wonderful job on placement. She made me feel very comfortable when nursing my daughter openly. Definitely recommend and will go back!
If you have not visited here for your tattoo, I highly recommend you do and you will not be disappointed. Visited here last October for their Halloween/tattoo party and got the tat i always wanted to commemorate my 2 grandmas who passed away. A job well done! Friendly, fun and professional staff & i cannot wait until i go back again for my miscarriage tattoo that i am super excited about getting b/c i know they will do a superb job.
I went and saw Mandie about 2 weeks ago and got an orbital conch piercing. She was super clean and informative about the whole process. I’m no stranger to piercings and gauges, so I knew what to expect and it got done effortlessly. Aftercare has gone well; I cleaned it 3 times a day with Bactine and no problems. I will definitely recommend this place for no fuss piercings.
Came in as a walk in and the staff was super friendly. Marcus gave me a quote and got me in same day. Would definitely recommend.
This place is absolutely amazing. My family and I went and got nose piercings and tattoos and they did a fantastic job. They were very nice and took their time. The nose piercings look amazing (I’ve gotten mine done 3+ times and have never been more happier) and the tattoo was so vibrant. They have amazing prices!
Took our 8 year old to get her ears pierced. Mandy was amazing with her. She explained everything and put her at ease. Great experience!
Great place. The ladies really helped my daughter and i.
Very chill and relaxed atmosphere! I came in for a tattoo and they worked well with me and made the whole experience so fun. also they played amazing throwbacks!
Chase did a amazing job i will return for more ink. Thanks bro
Owner is awesome, no wait time! Ill be bringing my daughters back for ear piercings
I went in this afternoon to have a drawing I did made into a tattoo. Tayler did my tattoo and was amazing. Her ability and artistry in shading was second to none. The owner, Marcus, was friendly and very accommodating. The studio was clean, people friendly, and the artists were amazing. I will definitely be back here and I highly recommend this place to others.One month update: the tattoo looks amazing fully healed. Weirdly enough, I think it actually looks better fully healed. The small areas light white highlights makes it pop, almost like its areas of 3D when looked at from certain angles. Even family members who HATE tattoos have complimented me on the design and the amazing shading Tayler did.9/7/2020Got another awesome tattoo from Tayler. I will post a picture when its healed. As usual she did an amazing job with the shading and blending. Tayler is the only one I will be getting inked by in the future. Thank you for another great experience!!
Couldnt be happier with my new Ink, its everything I asked for. I told Marcus what I wanted and he was able to pull the image out of me mind and put it on my. Everyone at the shop was very friendly and made the experience a good one. This was a cover up of an old tattoo and you cant see a trace of it now. Grate job Marcus and thanks again.
Awesome place to get tattoos and piercings. My artist was Marcus and he did an amazing job touching up my lion king tattoo. And my piercer Mandie was very nice and made me feel very comfortable while I got my piercings. Thank you so much.
Personable, professional, clean service. We came in late and they accommodated us and pierced us both for the cheapest I’ve ever seen. I would recommend this shop for piercings!
Great experience! Crystal did my tattoo and I cant be happier! Great staff, patient and caring and very welcoming. Let us walk in when several shops in the area couldn’t accommodate. Will definitely come back, and definitely our new favorite spot! Thank you guys so much!!!
Chase Gainey 10/10 been the man since day 1! Would recommend him and the shop to anyone, will be back for more!
Took my daughter Kinslee to get her second piercing. These guys are great! Everytime we have been there they have always been very personable...
Highly impressed & extremely pleased with the piercing services provided by their professional piercer, Mandie! She’s knowledgeable, patient welcoming & friendly. Hands down, I definitely recommend this shop above all others in the concord area!!!
This is my new favorite spot for piercings! It’s a little tricky to find at first, but totally worth the trip. Mandie is fantastic! She knows really knows her stuff and takes her time to make sure you’re truly happy with her work. I will definitely be going back here for all future piercings!
Mandie is the best piercer to go to! Shes so sweet and makes you feel at ease! Im really looking forward to my future piercings from her!
Loved it! I went here to get my Ear Lobes pierced for the first time! Mandie was very helpful and nice; she made sure my sister and I were happy and comfortable! I would definetl come back!
Good service, super nice, professional, and very clean
I went in to get a tattoo with my mom and was super excited. Based on their google reviews, I decided to give this shop a chance. Marcus was the tattoo artist who was going to do our work. Initially, he was nice and seemed to know what he was doing. But upon looking at his work via Instagram (in which he gave me while there), I wasn’t impressed. The lines, writing, pretty much everything about his work was not something I wanted on my skin. My mom felt the same way. The last thing I wanted to do was offend, but I POLITELY explained to him that I didn’t want to go forward with getting our tattoos. At that point, he got very rude and super offended. Making a scene in his own shop, which I didn’t think he would want that kind of attention. As I was being quiet while trying to communicate with him. I think his ego was hurt and it wasn’t the only time someone had said that, considering an appointment just canceled on him. They probably saw what we saw. Being a makeup artist myself, I would never conduct business that way if someone didn’t like my work. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PROFESSIONALISM ! The reviews are misleading considering most reviews were based on the piercers. Do yourself a favor, and go somewhere else! You won’t regret it!
Artist are incredible and not over priced
