About Us
Dark Rose Tattoo Gallery isn't just a studio — it's a space where creativity and craftsmanship converge. Located in the heart of Goldsboro on South Berkeley Boulevard, we've built a reputation for delivering exceptional custom tattoo work in a clean, welcoming environment.
Every artist on our team brings a distinct style and deep expertise, from fine-line detail and neo-traditional florals to bold blackwork and realistic portraits. We treat your body with the same reverence you'd expect from a gallery — because that's exactly what we are.
From your first consultation to the final reveal, we guide you through every step. No rushed appointments. No cookie-cutter designs. Just honest artistry and a space where you feel safe, heard, and inspired.
What We Offer
From your first tattoo to your next piece, we offer a full range of body art and modification services.
Every design is created from scratch, tailored to your body, your story, and your vision. No flash copies — only original art made for you.
Ear, nose, facial, and body piercings performed with sterile, single-use jewelry. Safe, quick, and done with precision.
Free, no-pressure design consultations. Bring your ideas or let us help you create something entirely new — we'll map it out together.
Transform old or faded tattoos into stunning new artwork. Our artists specialize in creative cover-ups that breathe new life into existing work.
We don't just finish the piece — we make sure it heals beautifully. Detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support with every session.
Keep your tattoos looking fresh. We offer professional touch-up sessions to restore vibrancy and crispness to healed work.
Our Portfolio
A selection of custom pieces from our studio — each one unique, each one crafted with intention.
I walked into Dark Rose with a half-formed idea and left with exactly what I'd been imagining — and then some. The artist took the time to understand what I wanted, mapped it perfectly, and the result is something I'll treasure forever. This is what a real tattoo studio should feel like.
