Colton did my tattoo yesterday and Im very happy with how it turned out! I had several things that I wanted to incorporate, and Colton helped to combine them and designed 1 tattoo. He took his time and was very detailed. I trusted him with the whole process and highly recommend him! The shop was great too - loved the music and vibe. Ill be back to have him do more.

Awesome shop! Chase is great! I’ll definitely be back here soon for another one

I got my first tattoo here and I was super nervous. Everyone in there is very chill so I felt comfortable. They are all patient and very professional. I got my tattoo with Colton and I am very satisfied. He sanitized after the person before me. Definitely will be coming back!

I went here because I was reffered from my daughter. I was impressed with the shop cleanliness and the artist was very professional. If anyone is interested in getting a tattoo I highly recommend my man Isaiah Whitley. I have received tons of compliments on his work he done for me.

Stopped by Elysium today as walk-in customers to get these small matching heart tattoos, and I could not have asked for a better experience!Colton Howard was our artist; he was extremely kind, professional, and very knowledgable of his craft! We left as greatly satisfied customers with amazing and clean line work to add these small pieces to our tattoo collections! We will definitely be swinging by once again sometime within the future! Thank you, Elysium Staff!

Got my first tattoo done with Colton and it was the best experience!! would definitely recommend him!! will also come back to him! very clean and professional service!!! :)

My original appointment was at four, and then my tattoo artist called me and said that they needed to push the appointment back to five because they were busy. That wasn’t a problem, and I didn’t mind waiting until five for the tattoo. however when I got there he said that it was going to be another 30-40 minutes. I decided to wait and stick around, but after about 2 1/2 hours of waiting I decided to leave. during those 2 1/2 hours the employees were taking breaks and going in and out of the building, to smoke or do other stuff. Overall, they didn’t really seem like they were in any hurry to help people. They also kept telling me that they were close to being done and finishing up, however, they still weren’t done with the tattoo that they were working on before me when I left.

Marcus did an amazing job turning my family’s castle into a piece of art that will stay with me forever! Love the people at elysium would highly recommend!

Got this koi fish from Zay (moon is from a different artist) and I love it!! He was so quick and it wasnt nearly as painful as other tattoos I have. I will definitely go back. It was also super easy to book.

Did a walk-in for a new tattoo and Marcus delivered. The staff was amazing. The tattoo turned out to be freaking awesome and he even added some shading that just made it pop. Ill definitely be coming back to get some more done. Awesome people.

Amazing quality work. I only come to these guys now. All the artists are friendly and pretty truckin awesome. They have all kinds of art styles and gave me sum fire suggestions that really pulled the art together. He recommended adding shading to it and I let him do it and man, IT MADE IT LOOK 100x better. If I could give more stars I would

Great shop!!!!!! Colton was super professional. The tatt was fast and painless! Will definitely be returning!💯

Recently, I had to have my 15 year old dog who I’ve had my entire life put down. I went to Elysium Ink to get a memorial tattoo - it came out way better than expected. Chase was able to actually get the texture of my dogs paw to show in the tattoo. He is very good with typography & his lines are very clean.

I’m a very nervous person when it comes to piercings especially facial ones, Caroline made sure I was comfortable and took her time explaining the processes to me. I have several different piercings on my face but I’ve never experienced such a organized and clean shop like this. 10/10 I recommend this shop!! Thanks again !

Both Colton and Becca were very nice and patient doing my daith piercing and during my tattoos! Good prices and would 100% recommend!

I got my first two tattoos done by Chase today. He did an amazing job and I am so in love with them. He was good with communication and he did exactly what i wanted. I definitely will be coming back soon!!

Connor did great on my tattoo. Although a slightly different design than what I picked out it turned out beautiful and am very pleased. He was very kind of and respectful.

Some of the most talented young men and ladys that ever put a tatt gun in there hand

Love this place! Colton is my go to for tattoos and Becca is fabulous at piercings

This place is amazing! Got my nose pierced by Hannah and she made me feel comfortable and calm while getting it. Also you can chose from a assortment of color stones for the nose ring. Usually most places you can only get the basic stone. Highly recommend this place.

Colton tattooed my Husband & I. He was very professional even when we asked him to re-do our stencils he didn’t get frustrated. He made sure we were happy. We got our first letter initials and we love them!

Becca did an amazing job on my nose piercing. For my first big piercing, she was sweet, kind, and very professional. I will definitely go to her again for my next piercing! Thank you so much Becca!

From the age of 9 my daughter started asking for a nose piercing. I always put it off by simply saying….”No problem, when your 15”. Well 15 has stuck up on me and she of course held me to my promise. We read reviews and researched dozens of shops in the area and finally decided to choose Beca at Elysium Ink. She couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Clean. Professional. Friendly. I would recommend these guys any day.

I got my first tattoo from Colton. He was awesome and I love my tattoo. I couldnt have asked for a better experience

I just got my lobes pierced like 5 minutes ago by Becca and I love it she was so nice and made sure to mention each step she took while doing the piercing. I from PA so I will definitely be going back to get my Industrial Piercing done before i go back home. I 110% recommend going here for your piercings!

I love this shop!!! I have been several times now, and every time they are better than before. I artist are professional, friendly, and talented. Everyone has positive energy and you can tell that they love what they do. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Colton did an amazing job with my tattoo! It was something special to me that I’ve been wanting since I was in middle school! I’m so excited with how it turned out!

I got my first tattoo here and it was a great experience! Nice staff and friendly environment. Colton did a great job with my tattoo!!

Colton did awesome!! He has been working on a sleeve tattoo for awhile now. Can’t wait for the finish product. Picture coming when completed. Definitely go to him for your tattoo needs.

Colton did an amazing job not only on the tattoo itself but helping me piece together exactly what I wanted done. 10 out of 10 would recommend 🖤

After you get past the parking lot and get inside. . . The place is pretty awesome. The people are hella dope. Ive gotten 3 tattoos there from Colton and they are the best ones I got. I have no problem in recommending this place and any of their services.

I had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Zay (Isaiah). I was a walk-in and he was very quick to help me. He listened to what I wanted exactly and put a great twist to it. I was very pleased with his work as well as his friendly attitude. Would definitely recommend and come again! 😁PS: Very light handed. Really made a painful spot feel like nothing major! 😊

Was nervous about finding a new shop and artist since moving to the area. And I can finally say I found one! Marcus is super easy to sit for and the shop has great vibes and everyone’s super friendly and professional. Already have appointments in the books

Alsom, Very much satisfied with the work I got from Marcus . Very Professional but still relaxing.Everyone was extremely nice. This is my first tattoo from Marcus an I will be back soon. Thanks again Marcus !

I did a walk-in tattoo with chase and he did a phenomenal job. The tattoo is healing quite well and looks amazing. I will be coming here again.

Colton did an amazing on this piece ♥️♥️ 10/10 recommended

Becca did her thing. Yesterday, I got my nose pierced and a daith piercing. It’s was too quick and Becca must know the technique for sure cause I felt almost nothing! Thanks Elysium & Becca!

This is a great place to get tattoos!! I was there on the Friday the 13th sale. Everyone who works there is so cool. Marcus did my tattoo and did a wonderful job helping me with the design and placement, as well as doing phenomenal work!! This is by far my favorite tattoo EVER!!

10/10 would highly recommend seeing Colton for any tattoos , I traveled all the way from Florida to get a tattoo done by him and he did absolutely amazing , took his time ,and was very nice the tattoo turned out amazing and I will definitely be making another trip from Florida to see Colton very soon!

I love this place! Everyone who works here is super nice and friendly. The atmosphere is super calming. The artist are so talented. This is the only shop I will go to.

I have a list in my phone of tattoos I want to get and Colton helped me knock two off the list. So glad I came in and got them. Not only did he give me the tattoos I wanted abut he made them even better than I imagined. Thank you so much.

My first experience at Elysium Ink was great. Awesome place with awesome people! I absolutely LOVE my new ink. Colton did an outstanding job!! 100% my most favorite piece yet. I will definitely be going back.

Got a tattoo today via walk-in, and I absolutely love it, Colton did an amazing job at communicating with me about the design I wanted. I will definitely be going back very soon!

Becca did a great job with my nose piercing

I had a nose piercing done today by Caroline and it was a breeze! The appointment was easy to schedule and the shop was super clean. The piercing was reasonably priced and Caroline provided clear follow up instructions. I highly reccomend going here. Thanks Caroline!

Just had a tat done today by Colton Howard, he did an amazing job.....will definitely be back

Absolutely love this place! Colton has done 2 of my tattoos and they both came out great :) zay is a really great artist as well! If your looking for a good place for your tattoos you found it. They do piercings as well if that’s something you are looking for - Ask for BECCA!!! She’s great and makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed! Over all this place is great and I’ll definitely be coming back for more pieces!

Chase was super patient and helpful with me in deciding my first tattoo and absolutely killed it!

Colton did an AMAZING job on my tattoo this weekend! I sent him a picture of what I wanted, and he came through with it! He also was very easy to communicate with while setting up my appointment! 10/10 recommend seeing Colton for your next tattoo!! Im already planning my next one!

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.💉

Got a tattoo by Colton for me and my sister and it was way better than the original picture we took in. He made sure to check that we were liking how it was coming along and had good communication. My financé got one as well by Chase and he was amazing as well. Thank you guys for fitting us in today!!

My artist was Colton and he is honestly amazing. They have some of the best tattoo artist here and I will definitely be coming back for more of my tattoos.

Zay was amazing! Very Professional, awesome work! I highly recommend!

I highly recommend this business to anyone wanting great service. Izaiah is great and my tattoo coverup is beautiful.

Toke my daughter to get her septum pierced and Becca was so nice and professional with her. I will be back to get my own piercing thank you

This was my second tattoo and my first one in over 10 years ago. Zay was amazing and has a very light touch, is very clean and made sure i liked what was going to be on my skin before finalizing anything. I would highly recommend going here and asking for Zay!

Colton at Elysium Ink tattoo is extremely dependable and professional heres why. It was Tuesday night and was planning on getting a tattoo on Wednesday when that appointment was Cancelled by the tattoo artist. I was in a panic because I really wanted to have my tattoo done. I googled tattoo places near me in Concord and Elysium Ink popped up and I was reading the reviews like your reading this one and it went on to mention Colton and it was just about closing time when I called and who else answered but Colton! I briefly explained my situation and asked if he had any availability on Wednesday after 4 he replied yes and explained that he was finishing up with a customer could he have my number that he would text me in a little bit and while we were on the phone he text me. I sent him a pic of what I wanted he said he could do it. When I went in on Wednesday I was greeted with a hello. We went over what I wanted. Colton Did an AWESOM job on my tattoo I couldnt be more happy. Needless to say I will be back for more tattoos by Colton.

The owner Marcus did two of my tattoos yesterday for their Friday the 13th special, it was worth the wait and I’ll for sure be coming back for more!

Isaiah (Zay) did a really nice pair of cat paw prints for me. He was very nice, professional and the place was clean. He kept checking to make sure I was okay...I was squeezing a water bottle. Caroline did a daith piercing for me and was very good.

I went here to get my nose and belly button pierced over the past few years and love the shop and atmosphere. The workers are super friendly and professional and just down right hilarious with jokes to calm your nerves. After I got my belly button pierced I ended up fainting. I woke up to them putting a pillow under my head and giving me some chocolate to eat. Amazing people, will definitely always be my favorite shop.

The worst tattoo experience Ive ever had. I originally wrote an honest review, but was bullied by the owner and his sister to amend it. At the time, I didnt want to cause any drama, but its been 2 years and every time I look at my tattoo and think about the experience I, and all my friends who were with me had, Im disgusted. The tattoo artists, besides being plain rude and inappropriate, just werent skilled. I went in with 4 people and we all got different tattoos with different designs, and ALL of them are either misshaped, to thickly drawn, or have inconsistent coloring. Whenever those friends come to visit Charlotte we all end up commiserating about our terrible experience and terrible tattoos that we got at this shop, we ALL regret it. Dont make the mistake I did and go somewhere better!

This place is so awesome! I have had several tattoos done both here and other spots- but I will only go here from now on!!!

The staff is very friendly. Zay listened to my ideas, and created the perfect tattoo to honor my little sister. I would recommend this shop to anyone wanting a quality tattoo. And I will return for any future tattoo(s). Thanks Zay!!

Everyone is welcoming and nice. I got nine piercings done with❤️Hannah❤️ who rocked it at her bedside manners. The only problem I had was with my globals (conches) they were not healing right so I came back and we concluded that the style conch I got might be effecting my healing process so I got an upgrade and my ears instantly felt better. Thankyou for your help #Becca #HannahI Just got a quote done on my forearm with Colton who was amazing. He was so patient with me as I kept talking his ear off in between my crys (It was my first tattoo). He is also so gentle and has a steady hand perfect for writing. I am definitely coming back to him soon. Thankyou for this amazing experience!! #Colton

Have been to see Tayler twice so far and she is amazing. I went in to have a tattoo fixed that was done somewhere else and was not satisfied with, and also begin the cover-up of an old tattoo. She has a great eye and attention to detail. I just left it up to her to do what she thinks is best and she did not disappoint. She does amazing work.

This was my 1st tattoo, Zay is an amazing tattoo artist! I loved the design and he did very good with the whole process. I loved the experience and may come back again soon!

Colton did an amazing job on my tattoo, would definitely recommend him and come back to him for next time!

Very knowledgeable, and confident workers. A great experience all around! Thank you for taking great care of my family!!

Chase did my daughters and my tattoo. He is very professional and did a great job on our tattoos! Can’t wait to go back for my next!

It looks perfect

I’ve been to Elysium ink before and the tattoo wasn’t the best but I decided I was going to give them another try to fix the tattoo I got there 2 years ago AND THE ARTIST COLTON HOWARD BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER the first photo is what it looked like before and the last 2 are what it looked like after definitely recommend Colton and his fellow artist over at Elysium ink!

Colton Howard was a great tattoo artist definitely recommend him for your next tattoo!

Colton did a great job on my tattoo. Definitely wouldnt mind him doing more work in the future on me

Ms. Caroline was amazing! She pierced my nose and was very very polite and professional. She can hold a conversation so it wasnt awkward sitting there. I would definitely recommend her 100%! I will be back very soon! Thank you so much Ms. Caroline!

Zay was my artist and he was very professional! Anyone who works with him can see how much he truly loves what he is doing and takes all of his work seriously.

Adding to my review because Ive now used Elysium Ink two more times. Chase added a second paw print for me. And just recently had a new meaningful tattoo added by Zay. He took my very bad sketch and created a work of art!!!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.

So went for my first tattoo today and all I can say is Colton did an amazing job he made me feel like I was at home I would def tell anyone to go here he made mine better than I could imagine I will def be going back very soon

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 ☺️

Zay did my tattoo and did a great job. A very clean and friendly environment!! 10/10 recommend

Me and my sister had Colton as our tattoo artist and he did an amazing job!!! Our tattoos came out even better than expected! We will definitely be going back here for all of our future tattoos and piercings....all of the staff there is very kind and professional.

Caroline pierced my industrial and my septum for me today. She did a great job, was super quick, and cleaned everything thoroughly. She was also very sociable and friendly which was nice. Had a great experience here and will return!

My daughter took me to get a tattoo for fathers day. If you want some ink that looks amazing and someone to do it at a great price go here and see Chase

Colton was very professional. Worked with me on every aspect of that tattoo I wanted.

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!

Caroline is great! She worked with me last minute on what I wanted done, and her work is fantastic. Definitely recommend, and will be back

Caroline was just too sweet. I absolutely recommend them. Even the lady at the front desk was awesome. 👌 they legit earned 5 stars. Ill be back!

Had my second Tattoo done here by Zay. He took my idea and made it exactly the way I wanted. Great price for the absolute detail he put in my tatt Everyone here is extremely friendly and will make sure you are at ease. They will walk you through the process step by step and aleve all your fears. EXTREMELY EXTREMELY CLEAN shop. I cannot stress that enough. If you need quality work go see Zay or any other artist will be glad to help you!

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.

I got an ear piercing from Mandie and could not have had a better experience. She was super nice and friendly and great at calming my nerves during the actual piercing. She was very genuine and I would definitely go back for any future piercings.

This shop is awesome! Being a young female it can sometimes be uncomfortable to go into tattoo shops, but this place made me feel very comfortable. All the staff is very nice and professional. I will definitely be going there for all my tattoos and piercings in the future.

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 😁

I’m from Knoxville and came to Locust NC to visit my best friend. She made us a appointment to get our nose pierced at Elysium Ink. Our experience was great, Mandie was awesome and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend her for a piercing. She made you feel very comfortable. Thanks for everything!

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

Colton did an amazing custom tattoo for me!

Chase gave me, my brother, and sister a great tattoo! Absolutely love it! Will be back!

My experience was great.I really love my tatoo. Chase did a wonderful job.

Mandie was very friendly and made me feel comfortable instantly. The studio was extremely clean and everyone there was very professional. I would definitely go back again.

Colton is a really great tattoo artist. I went in for a small cat tattoo today and he was very nice and profesional. He is also very considerate and an amazing artist! Definitely coming back here for more!

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. :)

Tayler was awesome! Great tattoo artist! She helped touch up a previous tattoo. She kept the conversation going the whole time while working. Very professional and made me feel comfortable. I’d highly recommend Tayler!
