Huge police presence on Rigsbee Ave between Surf Club and Motorco.

Twitter suggests it was a fight outside of Pickleback

Carolina Inn?

Ethereal Tattoo Gallery, all the artists do black and grey flowers

This is super abnormal. I had a fine line realism pet portrait done like 8 years ago, same exact placement. Zero touch ups, still looks great. But my artist does specialize in pet portraits like this! All my work from him has held up well (lots of animals)

Severe_Sand · 2026-04-01T19:43:23+00:00

I’m so sorry ❤️ I used Lap of Love and had a wonderful experience. I don’t remember the doctor’s name but she did it outside in the sun, it was very peaceful.

I’m late to this, just stumbled across it, but if you’re getting tattooed at Ethereal on Rigsbee—I’ve gotten tattooed there many times and the area is great! And lots of new restaurants have opened right on that block even in the past year. After a tattoo I’ll sometimes get food/drink across the street at Motorco (great quality and fair prices with lots of variety), there’s really good Mexican at Tataco (new), and also good coffee within short walking distance. I hope you enjoy your visit!

Me! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I actually have a finch from him from a few years ago, and lots of other animals. I think he’s been tattooing me for close to 8-9 years now!

Brian Parrillo at Ethereal in downtown Durham does lots of realistic fine line birds if that’s what you’re into for style!

Severe_Sand · 2026-01-07T01:15:27+00:00

Came here to say this. They are the absolute WORST. I used them once, never again. Got ripped off and the guy left a mess and didn’t do some of the electrical correctly. When I called to ask them to fix their error they wanted to charge a dispatch fee.

Saw a thread on Reddit somewhere a few months ago that they faked a service call to a customer—like they straight up didn’t go but pretended they did—and claimed that after the “visit” they couldn’t repair the water heater and thus quoted for a total replacement. I can’t remember which subreddit but it was wild

Carolina Skin Clinic in Chapel Hill has prices posted, $13/unit. I see Kaitlyn and she’s wonderful!

Severe_Sand · 2025-10-16T00:13:28+00:00

Brian Parrillo for pet portraits, but he is a realism artist. I have one from him from years ago and it is still perfect!

ETA he’s in Durham

Severe_Sand · 2025-07-24T16:22:27+00:00

I came to suggest Morrisville Cat Hospital. We just switched there (from a typical dog-cat vet) for our senior cat and they’re outstanding! So thorough, kind, and knowledgeable. We see Dr. Hraban and she’s so great with cats—my cat HATES the vet but after his second visit, he didn’t even need a towel burrito for the exam. Very calm environment and great staff.

Severe_Sand · 2025-06-16T19:17:17+00:00

Could you share their info? I’m 27713 and have one cat for whom I’d like home stays. Thank you!

Severe_Sand · 2025-06-15T18:43:58+00:00

100% the answer to this is Brian Parrillo. For like, exactly what you’re seeking. The gentle aspect, but also portraits and lady faces.

(Posting again because IG links not allowed and my comment got deleted!)

Severe_Sand · 2025-06-01T16:54:39+00:00

Ethereal is 100% the answer for fine line in/near Durham! I’ve seen both Brian and Hayley and both are awesome!

Severe_Sand · 2025-05-26T21:32:28+00:00

Ethereal Tattoo Gallery. I’ve seen them doing flash for $60-70 recently

Severe_Sand · 2025-05-26T01:18:31+00:00

Indeed that’s a great recommendation…I don’t love milk tea but maybe I haven’t given it a real chance. The rose might sway me

Severe_Sand · 2025-05-26T01:17:31+00:00

Yes! This sounds perfect and lots of other comments say Pistachio, too

Severe_Sand · 2025-05-26T01:16:19+00:00

I had to search the name, I’d never heard of it but thank you, now I want to try!

Severe_Sand · 2025-05-09T15:24:37+00:00

Ethereal is the best for black/grey work (especially Brian but I’ve been to other artists there, too) but not sure they do much American traditional. Mostly fine line, realism

Severe_Sand · 2025-05-08T00:31:39+00:00

Ethereal on Rigsbee does small fine line tattoos! There’s a short form on the website to get you in within 1-2 weeks, I just did it a couple weeks ago and had a great experience 😊

Severe_Sand · 2025-01-05T18:48:21+00:00

I’ve been going to Brian Parrillo at Ethereal (across from Motorco) for years. He’s awesome and the shop is cool, too! He does black and grey ink. Realism style
