I’m from Ohio and wanted to get a double nose stud. Richard was super welcoming and informed me I’d probably only want to do one then wait a few weeks to do the other which was super helpful as this is my first piercing! He did a great job with the piercing and got me in and out quickly. Would 100% recommend getting pierced here!

This place is my new favorite! I came in with a basic idea and Rich made it a masterpiece. He is incredibly talented. Light handed, does amzing things with colors and takes well earned pride in his work. I am in love with my new tattoo and already planning to come back for more. Thank you Rich!!!

Had a tattoo done by Rich. Got there, great experience from start to finish. I highly recommend.

I have been working with Richard Stephens and Alchemy Tattoos for the past 4 years. It is the most professionally run Tattoo Shop that I haveever been in. It is by far the Cleanest Environment that you could possibly hope to get Tattooed in. Richard and the rest of the Tattoo Artists in hisshop hold an incredibly high standard for Safety & Cleanliness. Great Place to Get a Tattoo. PERIOD!

Saw Tom today for some little tatts at Alchemy Tattoos. Where to start... As soon as I got out of the car the sign on the door read No Mask/No Entry/No Exceptions. I knew right then I was in the right place during the current state of things. The shop was exceptionally clean and well kept. Colorful with all the artists work hanging on the walls. During the initial conversation about the designs I wanted, Tom was very helpful with sizing and placement.All the equipment used for the tattoo is disposable, lending to the cleanliness and safety of my experience. Tom is very friendly and easy going. I had to send my images via FB messenger and right after I left the shop, I got a message from Rich asking if I was helped yet. It was very nice of him to get back to me in such a timely manner.I would HIGHLY recommend going to Alchemy Tattoos for your tattoo and piercing needs. You wont be disappointed!

We have been doing business with Alchemy for some seven years and they have been absolutely amazing having done some 12 or so tattoos for us over that time. I would recommend them to anyone looking for custom work at reasonable prices

Jay did an amazing job on my tattoo today! Me and my friends came in early in the morning very unprepared and he worked with us to make sure we got exactly what we were looking for. Great shop super clean and great service. Definitely recommend!

Rich is the best. Have several pieces from him and all of the are fantastic

Dan and Rich have both done work on myself and my husband. They are very professional, clean and do fantastic work! I recommend them to anyone who is looking for tattoos or piercings. Yes, you may wait a few but theyre only ensuring your safety and sanitary well being as well as other customers.

A great shop with tons of cool artwork all around a very welcoming place. have gotten 2 tattoos here so far by tom and loved them. tom is a great artist as well the others, the owner rich is a very nice guy. this shop does amazing work and i will definitely be coming back for years to come.

Excellent customer service, they wore PPE, and answered everything efficiently.

Best tattoo shop in the area. Tried them out first time a few months ago based on Google reviews and couldnt be happier. Both Rich and Tom do amazing work. Ive since gotten 11 tattoos in the last 3 months all from here.. everyone has come out great. Touch ups are free, and you always get a coupon for new visits over $100.

Very professional, very clean and very happy I got my first tattoo here

Ive come here for my last 3 tattoos and my last piercing. Tommy is a God when it comes to tattooing. Ive even had my coworkers come here and they amazed. Prices are reasonable too. This is the place to come

I am thrilled with how my tattoo turned out! It took very little time and healed quickly! So much detail in my

Ive been getting tattooed/ pierced here by Rich for over 6 years. They are professional, creative ( not afraid to design up an original piece), have competitive prices and very sanitary. I love a place that wont tolerate hatered towards anyone and will make you feel comfortable while getting work done. Cant wait for my next piece.

This was my second time in the studio, just as good as the last time! I highly recommend!!!

I was super nervous getting my first piercing here but the piercer was so chill that I wasnt really nervous and the whole process went smoothly. 5/5 would recommend.

Went in for a first time tattoo. Richard was very welcoming and made the experience calming. Was very reassuring that it was my decision in the end and that it would be permanent. He did a quick and amazing job. The tattoo came out super sharp and I have received many complements on it already.

Come here for nearly all my tattoos and piercings. Rich never disappoints. Between the great jokes and wonderful artwork, I never walk out having a bad experience.

Best experience ever!!! My friend got his birthday septum pierce here and had the greatest laugh with a the best piercer. Thank you so much!

Rich is the shop owner... HE IS THE BEST! He hand drew the logo of my fathers record label, and tatted it on my shoulder blade in about 2 hours. Not only that, but he didn’t charge extra to make it slightly bigger or add color... he TRULY wants his customers to be happy and have a good experience in his shop! I would recommend him to everyone!!

Nice shop kudos Tom. Nice art friendly staff.

Great atmosphere, terrific staff. Felt like stopping by a friends house

Jay Bradshaw is a awesome tattoo artist....

The staff was friendly and helpful the Store was very clean Rich did my tattoo. I gave him an idea and showed him a few pictures of what I wanted and he came back with an original great piece of art. Exactly what I wanted Jay did my wifes tattoo she gave him an idea of what she wanted and back with Awesome piece we are both very happy with the work we got done we would go there all the time but we live in Texas.

I stopped in to inquire about some black and grey lace tattoo Ive been thinking about. I spoke to Richard, who was getting ready to start work on a client, but he took the time to answer a few questions, which I appreciated. Tattoos are very personal and a good tattoo artist will draw something original for each client. Richard gave me a ballpark figure as far as time and cost, which fell in line with the rest of the work I currently have (and I have some killer ink, if I do say so myself). The way Richard interacted with me definitely made me want to get a tattoo from him. I hope to be able to get together with him in the near future to discuss a design together. But the fact that he treated me like a good tattoo artist should gives him high props already.

Had my unconventional bridal party here rich is the funniest person ever very knowledgeable so light handed amazing line work and colors are amazing will definitely be back and found my new tattoo shop :) thank you so much rich !!!!

Took the wife here for some daith piercings today. Staff very professional and skilled. Went very well. Equipment well maintained. Autoclave present. No trashy pics on the wall. Very pleased with our visit.

I went as a spur of the moment walk in and IM SO HAPPY I DID. Tom was awesome!! He was super honest with me about what I was choosing, made me so comfortable during the tattoo and did a great job!! Hes a great artist!! I dont even live in town but I will be coming back to see him again!!

Rich has done 4 extremely amazing tattoos on me . I moved away and refused to go anywhere else. I am a breast cancer survivor and have spoken to him about a cover piece cant wait to work on an idea and have him bring it to life I am back in Florida now. So excited to come by the shop

Had the most amazing experience. The shop is spotless and the guys were welcoming. It was like walking into families house from the get go. I would recommend this shop to anyone who wants ink work done.

Been here muliple times, most recently i got my tounge pierced, this is the second time i had it pierced and rich was so much more descriptive about after care than when i had it done the first time. I plan to come back again for more tattoos.

This was my second time goin to this shop I followed my artist Tom who I have been with for over 3 years now. He is incredible..! I ask for something and Tom will piece by piece turn it into his own work so it’s unique and no one else will have my exact tattoo. He can blow minds! You can definitely tell the passion of the tattoo artists that work here when you talk to them. How they love what they do and they actually care to learn more all the time which says a lot about them as people not only artist. The art on the wall is actually for sale from the artist in shop, so that’s a really cool bonus if your into that! I will def be continuing to go here and refer all my friends here! You can tell Rich loves what he does and he does it in the best professional way! Great shop and environment for hours and hours of ink! Can’t wait to come back!

This is like my most favorite side of my body now. I always use to hide behind things or use my hair because I hated what I had. But now ahhh I’ll always be thankful for your guys gift and riches amazing talent! Xoxox thank you

Rich was great. Really nice and super helpful. Great sense of humor and talented artist. Will be going back to see him again soon.

Rich is one of the best tattoo artists around town for sure. He is amazing. Not only is he good at custom tattoos he is very funny. If I could rate higher I would.

Great place Richard did an awesome job on tongue. I highly recommend everyone go there.

Great artist.

Got my nose pierced by Richard, he was the coolest guy ever and did an amazing job will definitely be back soon.

Amazing tattoo work done by Rich. Thank you so much. One of the best tattoo artists in this area!

Richard did a phenomenal job at redoing a piece that I had previously gotten done. He basically finished a tattoo that was meant to be a cover-up and was started by another tattooer. As soon as I walked in his shop it was all smiles and jokes from everyone there including the other canvases. It made me feel so good to know that I was accepted. It was the most pleasant experience Ive ever had in a shop and would recommend them to anyone. Rich will be getting all my business from now on.

I feel bad I have to leave this review as I genuinely liked Rich as he was fun, charming and super nice but I feel that it is necessary. I went to go get two piercings done at Alchemy a little over a week ago I didnt look into the shop as my sister had gone there and Rich was kind enough to take me as a walk in. The piercing itself went totally fine he is skilled at what he does in that regard. Its when he gave me my aftercare instructions that set of some alarm bells. He told me to use Bactine and an antiseptic mouthwash. Now this aint my first rodeo. I have several piercings done at various shops and Ive always been told to use sterile saline spray. I asked Rich about this and he said those should only be used on genital piercings. I kind of shrugged my shoulders and went on with my day.When I got home I took a look at my bellybutton jewelry and thought it seemed much to small. I know that the initial jewelry should be longer than normal to account for swelling and the bar should be visible. My piercing swelled up and no bar could be seen. The balls were flush against my skin. More alarm bells started going off. I realised my labret was likewise super short and no bar was visible. I wanted to trust Richs judgement as a piercer and left it for a few days. As the days went on my labret seemed ok but the redness around my bellybutton piercing began getting redder and more angry looking. It wasnt an infection I knew that and I just hoped maybe I had slept on it the night before and again just babied it and let it be. Two days later the redness hadnt gone down and I looked up some reviews online. I saw a few of the reviews were pretty bad(although there are many that are good) and some of Richs replies made me nervous to go back in. The defensive nature of the replies arent a good look. And honestly with my worries about the aftercare instructions and knowing the bar that was put in was to short I looked around for a different shop.I went to see a different piercer and she took one look at my bellybutton piercing and said it was way to short. She had me come back and said not only was it short but I like a lot of folks have a collapsing bellybutton and needed a bar with a flat bottom piece so the ball wouldnt put pressure on my new piercing when I sat. I had read(in a whole lot of places) that titanium is the best for piercings I asked if she had any titanium jewelry and she said thats all she carried. She also stated he had pierced me to deep and advised me it might be best to take it out and let it heal and we could try again but said it might be okay with the new higher quality, correctly sized jewelry. She swapped it out for me for a small fee plus the price of jewelry. The bar is now visible like it should be. I asked her about swapping out my labret jewelry and she said that since it wasnt super irritated like my bellybutton piercing to leave it for now but to come back in a few weeks for a swap. As far as my labret goes it really speaks for the quality of the jewelry I was fitted with. My labret stud had a little crystal or jewel on the ball and that fell out before Id had it a week. Not good. As for my bellybutton piercing since the jewelry change my bellybutton looks a million times better. The redness has daded crazy fast.Im frustrated I didnt do any research and frustrated I didnt trust my gut about the bar of my bellybutton piercing being to short. Im also upset that I even have to leave this review as I dont think Rich is a bad guy at all quite the opposite, I just dont understand how something like this happens at a shop in this day and age. Im also frustrated that when everything is said and done Im going to have spend the same money on getting my jewelry swapped out as I did getting the piercings themself. It takes a lot for me to leave a negative review but this situation has been very frustrating and disappointing. Im just flabbergasted at the whole situation. I have many piercings and Ive never had an issue such as this before.

This is a great place the artist listen and give you what you ask for plus more ...this is still in progress

Jen Martin is a amazing artist that is employed by this shop. I have had the pleasure of knowing for over ten years and am lucky enough to have most of my body art from her amazing skills. Rich is the owner of this shop am and is equally awesome he did a great piece on my husband and soon I will hopefully have him cover a piece on my husband soon. Great artist and amazing clean shop. Go there youll thank me later :)

It kept my tougue from closing but this guy didnt seem to have a clue what he was doing

Great work done by tom giannetto a Master piece love my new tattoo

After 8 years of living with one of the most horrible tattoos Ive ever seen I finally found my in hiatis at Alchemy tattoos and piercings in Largo Florida. Rich was the one that did my cover up and just seeing the stencil I knew that it would change my life forever. I have new confidence as a man and as a human being that I can do anything now that I have a new lease on my skin and my ink. Thank you to everyone at that shop for making me feel so comfortable and so at home from Rich to J to Dan to Tom there isnt one person to that shop that wont make you feel welcomed. Best environment and some of the most beautiful artwork Ive ever seen from the paintings in the walls 2 works of art on peoples skin this shop is an all-around go to for all of your tattoo and piercing needs.

The guys here are amazing and so sweet!! Super clean, fast, knowledgeable, and my piercing looks adorable!

Ive got a full sleeve done on my left arm by Daniel and hes starting to fill up my right arm. Ive been getting tatted here for a couple of years and Ive never had an issue. The shop owner, Rich as in I want to be rich one day, is another great artist at the shop too. I try to send as much business their way as possible because they have fair prices and give you quality work every time. If youre not in the area, its worth the drive.

Great environment.clean.and good vibes!!!! Danielle captured the symbolism of my black widow and had a light hand. Good pricing aswell. Definitely recommend to anyone!!!

I came here as soon as I turned 18, been happy with every tattoo Ive gotten here since. Everyone made me feel welcome and relaxed. Good prices and deals, fun talented people.

This is hands down the BEST shop in the area. Ive been coming here for several years and I wont go anywhere else. The prices are reasonable, the shop is clean, the work is incredible, and the staff is awesome, especially the owner Rich who always goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and at ease. Ive felt with a lot of shops in the Tampa Bay area over the years and they all seem to be lacking in one way or another, but Alchemy never disappoints!!!

Today, I got a signature tattoo in a special place. It was a quick job that Rich performed spectacularly, balancing professionalism and fun to create a very comfortable atmosphere.Reasonable price, clean shop, prompt service, no judgments. Will definitely return for next tattoo and piercing.

Great place highly recommended. Rich exceeded my expectations. Fantastic environment to get tattooed even with the occasional pirate joke.

Richard Stephens did a beautiful amazing perfect watercolor dandelion tattoo on my rib cage. Great service, private, and a fun experience over all. Everyone Is very professional and the shop is very nice.. if you want a good quality tattoo go see Rich at Alchemy Tattoos. ️️

Nervous as hell to get my nose pierced and he made it so simple, easy and basically pain free! Totally recommend !

Spent some time trying to figure out what I wanted to honor my grandfather... I went in and Mike did an amazing job. He was meticulous and very professional. Mike is new to the shop but I will be back many more times for his artwork on my temple.

I thought Dan did a great job! He took the time to make sure my tattoo was exactly the way I wanted He also took the time to draw it to my liking. The price was good and I was so happy that it came out just the way I wanted it. The shop was very clean and the experience was a pleasure. Everyone was very professional and I would recommend DAN to all my friends and family.

Rich is funny as hell and makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. Dan did my tattoo and it is so legit . Hes an awesome artist. Great place to get your tattoo or piercing done. I highly recommend Alchemy!

Favorite place to get stabbed

My brother passed away recently, so I took his daughter to get a tattoo with me in his memory. Eryn was awesome, she did an amazing job on both mine & my nieces tattoos and I highly recommend her...I give her extra credit for dealing with our crazy New York asses too. Thank you so much Eryn!!!

This Shop is absolutely PHENOMENAL! It is so down to earth and every artist takes the time to make sure your desired tattoo is Perfect for you, I have found my forever tattoo shop. This is the place to go if you want total perfection!

Alchemy Tattoos and Body Piercings is a place I would highly recommend for both piercings and tattoos. I got my belly button pierced there almost a year ago, so when I decided to get a new tattoo today I figured Id go back to a place I knew. I was greeted right away, given a sketch of the tattoo I described, and named a very reasonable price. The tattoo artist Dan is extremely professional, polite, and talented. I couldnt be more thrilled with my new tattoo! Next time I want ink, there isnt a question that Ill be going back to Alchemy.

See Rich, hes the best. True artist.

Rich and Tom are awesome ! They do fantastic work and really work with you to make sure you have an awesome experience and are happy with everything! I will be going back very soon ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Great place quick work and amazing art

Eryn did an AMAZING job on my memorial tattoo for my friend. It wasnt fancy or difficult but the time she took to make it look perfect was so nice. I really recommend to everyone to go see Eryn, especially if its your first tattoo.

Love this place. Had all except 1 tattoo done here. Rich and the rest of the guys are great.

Tom did a great job!!!! Thank you!!!

Awesome service. Excellent piercer. Plus very helpful with aftercare and any issues that may arise.

I went here because of the great reviews this place received. I was not disappointed at all. The shop was very clean and well kept. The staff was very professional, and listened to what I wanted from my tattoo. Rich and I went over a few things for the tattoo, and I made an appointment for the following day. Rich arrived at the shop on time, we went over the artwork, and then he got to work. Richs work was professional, he was attentive during whole process, and he kept me talking for a couple hours to keep my mind off the pain. A very good experience here, and plan to come back again....that is if the wife will let me.

Came in over the weekend to get a triple helix done. I love this place, and will be going here for all of my tattoo, and piercing needs from here on out! Ace did my Helix and did a awesome job!! I am so happy with the outcome! I will be back in the next few weeks to get my tragus done! Cant wait!

Kick @ss artists that come up with your one of a kind vision on the spot. Their shining star is Ace not that any of the other artist are any less talented I just happened to pick him from his amazing book. I dont think you could go wrong picking Alchemy Tattoos. Everyone is so friendly and professional I will never stray, I cant thank you enough Ace. Keep up the great work!!! My advice, look around, but you will never find a better shop or artist as Ace!! I would recommend him to my grandmother and know she would leave feeling that she met the most polite people. A+ in my book!!!!!!!

I went in and Rich and his staff made me feel right at home right off the bat. The shop was clean with a great decor, and I was very impressed with Richs talent and his overall attitude and passion for his craft. I will NEVER go anywhere else to get a tattoo! Rich is a great artist and he kicks @$$ at custom tatts, on a scale of 1-10 they get an 11!

It was my first time getting a tattoo and Rich was completely understanding. It was a comfortable and enjoyable experience and Im planning on getting another tattoo done by him. Hes awesome and completely thorough!

Absolutely my favorite tattoo place. JAY IS THE BEST

Best tattoo shop in town!! Excellent tattoo! Customer service is also great. They make you feel comfortable. See Rich for next tattoo or piercing.

Mike and Richard are awesome people and their work is awesome too! My sister and I are extremely happy with our new ink and its the only place we will go from now on.

The owner, Rich is cool and very knowledgeable. Hes done amazing work on some of my friends. Hes great at what he does!

It was my best piercing experience honestly. I got an inverse vertical labret or an ashely piercing. I went to three different piercer and none of them would do it or had the equipment to do it. I went to alchemy and I just filled out paper work and it was about a five minute process to get the piercing done. He was tattooing a guy at the time and took a break to do my piercing he was so nice and explained everything to me in great detail. Im definitely going back here for my next piercing/tattoo.

Love my Granddaughters new tattoo

I had a fantastic experience, I am so glad that I went here for my first tattoo. Nikki did a crazy awesome job on my tattoo and I love it. I definitely know where Im getting my next tattoo

I got my nose pierced and rich was awesome!!! Thank you so much

Tom is amazing! I have been going to him for my tattoo work for over four years.

Great place great people. And great tattoos!!

I love this place. Nice, friendly atmosphere. Professional and I do not want to go anywhere else. 5 stars.

Rich was fantastic! Even when I was twitching he made sure my tattoo ended up exactly how I wanted it! These guys are the best!

Great atmosphere, great artists, awesome work. Priced fairly. All of there artists do excellent work.

Great people here! Very much love their jobs of creating amazing art!

Great shop. Clean, talented artists, friendly, fair prices.

Best experience of my life. Jay is the BEEEEEEEESSSTTT!! LOVE THAT SHOP!!

Richard took my tattoo idea and made it a reality! Means so much to have this tattoo so I always have an extra spoon for my mom! He and the rest of the artists there are amazing and can made your ideas a reality also!

Dan and Michael are both great artists very happy to wear their art

Love my friends tattoo from this place looks so good cant wait to go get my hubby done when we visit Florida next year!!

Rich and his staff are AWESOME! They were super helpful and he seemed just as excited about the tattoo as I was, which is how a true artist should always be. Loved the end result and will definitely recommend Alchery to anyone and everyone!!!!!

Great quality work with lots of attention to detail go see Richard for any work you need

Stopped in recently to ask questions about some tattoos I was wanting. The guy acted like I was wasting his time and very rude. The shop seemed messy and dirty. Ill never be coming back here. Ill take my business elsewhere! Plenty of other local shops with way better attitudes and talent!

Billy did my husbands philtrum today and he was not only a pleasant guy but made the experience and piercing soothing for my husband. We will be returning! Thank you Billy!

Great artists great atmosphere best tattoo shop in town
