100/100 ⭐️⭐️Lovedddd my experience ! The shop was very comfortable everyone was nice that I encountered my septum was done quickly and correctly and I was talked through it I felt very comfortable.


Kristen was very calm and patient and did great 

I took my 6-year-old and 14-year-old to get her ears pierced and her belly button pierced they were very nervous but she was able to pierce them both with ease very satisfied and highly recommend! 

Kristen did a great job with piercing my daughter’s nose! She walked her through it step by step and was very careful and patient with her!!

there were 3 of us for 4 small tattoos and  this being my first. They were waiting for us at our appointment time and jumped rite in. the whole process from start to Finnish couldn't have been better. will definitely be going back. already have an idea for the next one!

Was very good and felt very comfortable! Would come again! 🤩

Alex was great! He gave me updates on the progress and what he was doing. Alex and the team also continuously checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable during the process. 
It was a very positive and clean experience, Alex will be seeing me again. 

Kristen pierced my 12 year old’s ears and it was a wonderful experience!  She was able to ease all of my daughter’s worries! A really great experience! 

Awesome experience! Kristen did amazing piercing my nose! I was very comfortable and will be back soon for my next Tattoo!! 

We were visiting New Bern during our vacation from NJ.  My 14 y.o. daughtet decided she wanted her ears pierced.  Bern City took up right away on a friday evening, were absolutely professional and kept my daughter calm the whole way through.  Encouraged questions and made her part of the process, which she appreciated.  Highly reccommend!  Thanks very much!!

Instead of doing the cheesy little idea I had Dan set me up to make this a really cool tattoo when I come for my second session. 10/10 will be back in the future. He also has a very light hand you can tell he is well seasoned. 

Dan was amazing! Professional, funny, and amazing artist. Will be back for more ink!!

The staff was friendly and professional, they were patient with me and helped me get the design i wanted. Definitely recommend 

My experience was amazing. Learned a lot and Kristian was amazing

They did a great job and very professional 

It was a pleasure to get a naval piercing done here. Kristen was the best! She was amazing, me and my friend both got pierced by her and it was the best experience. 

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALL THE PEOPLE HERE!!! EVERYONE WAS GREAT. WE GOT EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED. THE SPACE IS VERY CLEAN AND ALL BRAND NEW UTENCILS BETWEEN CLIENTS. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE GETTING MORE INK HERE IN THE FUTURE!!

I went In to have my ears repierced today……. Procedure was explained and was treated very kindly….. overall great experience….. thank you!

I had my 3rd session with Dan. He is a true master of his craft. He has an incredible eye for detail. His line work is clean and precise. A true artist.  He takes great care to make sure the placement is perfect and his designs are amazing in a clean, professional and relaxing studio. I'm already planning my next piece. 

First time ever coming here and honestly best experience ever. Everyone there was so nice and welcoming. Place was clean and organized. Went their to get my Daith piercing done and they gave me to option on the piercing. The owner himself was very friendly and polite like everyone else. Definitely will be back !!

Amazing job Daniel, my husband and I got matching tattoos today. We absolutely love them. Thank you so much!! We will definitely be coming back.  

This was my first nose piercing and I was nervous, but the piercer made the experience so easy. Everything was sanitized and professional, and they took their time making sure the placement was perfect. The healing process has been going great thanks to their aftercare instructions. I would absolutely come back

Dan was fantastic as always! Amazing and such beautiful art he does every time! 

DAN WAS FANTASIC!!!! 
The design was amazing and he was really nice and sweet, not super heavy handed either. 10/10 will go back and get another one for sure!! Very well priced and amazing work 

My mom and I had a great experience here! I got a piercing and we both got tattoos; everything was wonderful. Alex is the best!

Dan did an excellent job. Nice guy. Thanks

Bern City Ink is easily a 5+ star experience! The shop is clean, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere. The staff are professional, down to earth, and pay close attention to every detail. This was my second tattoo here, and I felt completely relaxed both times. They truly care about their work and it shows. I highly recommend them to anyone and will definitely be back!

Pierson was so welcoming and comforting as a teen (with parental consent) getting her piercings alone. The atmosphere was fun yet professional. Will be back 🫶

Absolutely wonderful work from Dan!!!! The line work was done carefully and beautifully :)

Great place! Its clean, the artist took the time to design something that I really liked and paid great attention to detail. Highly recommend 😊

Great staff and environment, Bex did PHENOMENAL. Already booked a tattoo session and I can’t wait to come back!

It’s not going to be the last time. It was clean and y’all was respectful🥰

The experience was extremely smooth. The staff were great and the artist saved me from a small but significant error on my end when reviewing the design. The final result turned out great. I would use them again.

Came in for a walk-in but they were busy. They set me up for the next day but called me back in since they had an opening. Super professional and considerate. Pricing was really good and my piece came out amazing. 

Alex is great and the rest of the staff is super friendly 10/10 would recommend 

Alex was a really gentle and kind. I love my first tattoo 

Love the shop and the artists!  Talented and reasonable. 

Got a belly button piercing here for the first time. The girl who did mine was so sweet and did a great job. 

My son and I went to get piercings done and had an absolutely great experience. Everything was clean and everyone there was super friendly. Definitely recommend. 

This is my second time here. Amazing work and chill environment. I will definitely be coming back.

I got my first tattoo here and it came out exactly how I wanted.

Great people ✅Love the place ✅and I told them what I wanted and they did exactly what I said ✅Great people 

JAZZ IS AMAZING!  Bex is also a really great piercer! 

Great staff, very clean, quick, and professional. Nice shop as well and the artists are very accommodating. 

Just in this afternoon and had a great experience. Turbo did my piercing. It was fast and relatively painless.  Warm, friendly atmosphere!

You guys were awesome. Very quick (my tattoo was small). Friendly service. I will be back. 

My daughter had her naval pierced,  the staff was appropriate, helpful, and Courteous.  I will be going back there and make recommendations to others.

Another great experience at Bern City Ink. Corey did a wonderful job with my tattoo. Very easy to book appointment and the job from start to finish was excellent. 

I am extremely satisfied with the tattoo I had added to my other one. Turbo did an excellent matching the tattoos together! Overall everyone in the shop has very friendly, welcoming personalities, and will treat you like family!  I will be going back to them in the near future!

Siblings and I wanted to do matching tattoos. Ended up scheduling it on day the shop was closed but Corey came in & fixed us up. Tattoos turned out great. Corey was hilarious. Definitely knew his stuff. 

I went for my first tattoo yesterday and I am 73 years old.  I was immediately put at ease by my artist, Marki.  He made me feel relaxed and confident in my decision.  He did a wonderful job  on my choice, very professional, it was a lot easier than I was expecting,  and I loved the entire staff that I met.  They made me feel like one of the community!  Thank you Bern City Ink!

I signed up for a very last minute 6 hour Tap out session with Corey and the process was extremely smooth and easy! The details in the work that were done were absolutely phenomenal and I cannot wait to go back and finish my sleeve! Thank you, Corey! If you’re  looking for someone in the New Bern area that will blow you out of the water by their work and professionalism Corey is your guy! 

Corey took me as a walk in for an incredibly intricate medium tattoo and absolutely killed it

I always have a good experience with these guys !!!

Awesome experience. Staff is friendly and willing to accommodate when necessary. 
Artist Cory (sorry if misspelled) was fast, precise and whimsical. I’m in love with my new tattoo! 

My nose was pierced with ease. I can’t wait to come back in a few weeks for my tattoo. 

Dre is one to ask for book em!!!! Hands down!!!!! Good work i promise you keep up the good work bro 💪🏾 

Alex did a face tattoo  in front of a wolf of my fiancee over my heart. Alex did an incredible  job with it  he gets a 10 star rating,
He made her come alive  over my heart just incredibly awesome. I would recommend  100% to anyone who wants awso.e work  and super friendly to. Alex new this tattoo was very special to me, Maddie  is a once in a lifetime  woman  who should be cloned. They don't make em like her anymore can't say enough how much she means to me . I highly recommend Bern Ink.  

I never get a last minute tattoo, but today I decided to. I messaged them on Facebook asking if they could do a walk in and got a very quick response. I just wanted something simple and thats exactly what I got. Everyone was very nice and wanted to make sure I was satisfied with my new ink. Thank you Dre for the great experience! 

I went and got my tattoos at Bern City Ink for my birthday, they were a brand new place that opened up a few months ago. They managed to hook me up with a steal of a deal for both and I couldnt be any happier, the artist did an amazing job and I definitely am going to be going back for more in the future for bigger projects. Inside was clean and inviting and the staff was super friendly, if youre looking for a new tattoo id 100% recommend this place.

Friendly , clean, and very  professional. 


My experience with New Bern Ink has been nothing but exceptional. Not only do they have well-talented artists who are professional and clean. They are also willing to give discounts if your budgets is a little low. And if there’s any mistakes with booking, it will get solved immediately. I got a free piercing because of a silly booking mistake that was mostly my fault! Yet, they were generous enough to give one for free. I look forward to getting more piercings and tattoos from them 🫶🏽 

Love my piercing it came out cute and the piercer was really nice 

They were very professional  and courteous.  They took their time to make sure the tatoo was exactly how i wanted it. I would recommend them to anybody. 

Dre did a fabulous art job for me today.  It was an emotional dream that he brought to life.  He was compassionate, kind and professional.

Thank you Dre

It was a very good experience and painful buts good I enjoyed it and I will be telling everyone about it 

Not even sure where to start with this place. It was a great experience from the very start. This is definitely not a tattoo mill type of place.
Everyone was extremely nice and sociable. It felt like a family gathering as we waited to get our tattoos done.
Prices were right on point with most tattoo shops, but the quality of work was superb!!
Definitely going back for more ink in the near future!!!

They were quick to respond and get me an appointment . Listened to my ideas and we worked together for an hour on the design. Loved how it turned out! 

Got a daith piercing from Lisa. It is always the best experience with her! Also interacting with another person who was there and he was super nice!!

called to schedule a piercing, it was easy to get in. lisa, i think was her name was amazing & very sweet. she made the process easy & quick! if i ever decide i want another piercing i’ll be going to her! 🩷

These guys are awesome and great to work with. Couldn’t ask for a better experience and can’t wait for more to follow 

Awesome people and even better artists! 10/10 recommend.

Great artists!!! Clean shop and very professional!!

Alex was great. Took his time designing and placing the tattoo with me. The design turned out 10x better than I’d originally had in my head. Will definitely come back.

Prices were great too

Great experience . Friendly staff , great prices and excellent work . Heading back again this coming up Saturday for some more tats.

Very nice people! Made sure i was comfortable with my design, placement, and even during the tattoo. Good experience all around. 

We had a great experience.  We love our tattoos. I didnt get the girls name but she has a long braid. Maybe Baysden. Thank you so much 💓 

It was a lovely experience and our tattoos turned out amazing!!

Lisa did a great job on my custom piece! She was very professional and did a great job depicting what I wanted and adding her personal touch! Definitely will be returning for future pieces!
