Best Tattoo Shops In Kingsport

“My husband and I recently got tattoos from James and Shawn Essey, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. This was my very first tattoo, so I was a little nervous going in, but they immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease.
Both James and Shawn were professional, friendly, and took the time to answer all of our questions. Their attention to detail and dedication to their craft really showed throughout the entire process.
The quality of their work is absolutely phenomenal. Our tattoos turned out even better than we imagined, and it's clear they take great pride in what they do. We felt welcomed, respected, and genuinely appreciated as clients from start to finish.
If you're looking for talented artists who create amazing work and provide an outstanding experience, I highly recommend James and Shawn Essey. We will definitely be back for future tattoos!“

“I have gotten multiple piercings done by Maddie and let me tell you she is so amazing she keeps everything clean she makes you feel comfortable she listens to your questions and concerns. She actually checks your anatomy and makes sure everything can be done safely. She is very kind and sweet I love all our conversations. I highly recommend her!!!“

“Scott is amazing! He turned my awful tattoo into a beautiful piece of art. I cannot recommend them enough! They are all so nice and talented!!!!!“

“Got my husbands 3rd tattoo ( same artist he’s had for years ) Drew always does amazing! Great friendly office staff! I highly recommend if you are looking for great high quality for good prices.“

“Larry was my artist this was my second tattoo but I was nervous. It was kind of an impulse decision, we called and asked if they could do a walk in. I was indecisive on where I wanted it on my arm but he didn’t rush me in trying to make up my mind. I had a great experience! The place was pretty and the music kind of gave me calm vibes. It looks great in person just hard to take a picture myself. I’m very pleased with the results and my fiance is thinking of using him as his next artist as well!“
