Best Tattoo Shops In Knoxville

“I went in wanting to get spider bites and Pat Ronning the lead piercer did a fantastic job. He was professional and made sure it was lined up with my other side. I will for sure be coming back to him for more.“

“Had a session scheduled with my tattoo artist Andrew. Sadly, I had a rash starting where he was going to work appear. Instead of rescheduling, he took the time and came up with something else. I got this beautiful chest piece last minute. I told him I was not wearing a shirt under my hoodie, but was wearing a bra. He was very respectful, gave me something to cover up with and pasties just in case there was a slip. He is willing to give breaks when the pain becomes too much. Everyone is so nice and was hyping me up for this tattoo. By far the best shop I have been to.“

“Dre hooked me up and made me feel welcomed she was very informative and let me know what my next steps were to go from a two gauge to a zero cause I had to stretch them at that point and she made sure that everything was the exact color match I wanted since I got my lip jewelry turned to blue to match the gages she took her time. She didn’t mind pulling everything out because I couldn’t see very well. I do not buy my jewelry from anywhere else no matter what. You pay for what you get just saying. You pay less somewhere else well you get what you pay for.“

“Alter Ego has a very upbeat, warm and inviting atmosphere! I was a walk-in and from the time I walked in the staff catered to my needs! Rae Hall was my Tattoo artist. She was so kind and caring as this was my first tattoo. I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she designed a phenomenal image. More than I could have hoped for“

“My 12 year old daughter wanted her ear lobes pierced and she has special needs. She was super nervous but the piercers did such a job making her feel comfortable. Great places five stars“

“STNK was absolutely wonderful and very professional. He does fantastic work.

Jay(El Jefe) was also fantastic. Piercing was quick and he was also very professional.

Kristina( front desk) is very friendly. She answered all of my questions.

I absolutely love Whitt's. The staff and the vibes are amazing. Everyone made me feel comfortable and made me laugh ?
Everyone come on down and turn your body into a living piece of art.“

“Heather is literally the best! I’m in love with my Freddy tattoo and can’t wait to continue my leg sleeve!“

“Incredible experience! Truly professional, talented artists. Definitely my new place for ink work! Thank you both for everything!“

“I got my first tatt with Andra! She was very sweet, gentle, and made the whole experience comfortable for me! 100% recommend this shop! I am in LOVE with my tattoo!“

“You must come here for ear piercings, not the Mall. Read the reviews- it’s an easy decision.

My wife required surgery after the Mall so we took a lot of time finding the best place in Knoxville. Must have questioned over 30 people and many raved about Archangel.

The experience was amazing. Almost like having a doctor do it.

Courtney was the lucky one to get us. Actually, the other way around. She was so reassuring, gentle and professional. Gave us supplies and instructions for aftercare.

We’ve been back numerous times to thank her and all the other wonderful people that work there.

Ps- they are a perfect choice for children, Not the Mall - get it?“

“Got a tattoo by Guido today and the whole experience was great! Super fast, since it was a small tattoo, but he still took his time and I didn't feel rushed at all. He took my idea and made it possible and I love how it turned out! Will be back for more tattoos by him in the future! Also got my nose pierced by Grace and she was amazing! So friendly and really knows her stuff.“

“I definitely recommend this place. They run bogo gift card offers. Staff is also great“

“So amazed by the work Bean did. It was so worth traveling to Knoxville for. Never met a tattoo GOD who was so friendly and pleasant to work with, especially for a cover-up. He took my ideas and ran with it.“

“Had a great experience with getting my first ever tattoo. Emmie was very friendly and great to talk with but the best of part is she did better then I even could have imagined on my tattoo. All of the employees that I met were very friendly and kind. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Jane took great care of my lil lobes today as she pierced some second gauges. She was super precise, making sure they were absolutely perfect! I love them and can't wait to size them up!“

“What I wanted vs what I got ? - Maddi J did exactly what I asked!!! She sweet, professional and I will be back !!! I drove fe KY to see this amazing human being ??“

“The best in the business right here. Professional, clean, great work, and very personable crew. Recommend to anyone looking for top-tier quality work and an excellent experience.“

“I have only ever gotten this one tattoo (the one pictured below was gotten by my friend that day), and probably won't again, because I only want the one. But as a novice, I had a great experience with Fern at Lunar Lady. She was kind, thoughtful, and made sure it had the exact look and placement I wanted. I cannot recommend her highly enough. A great vibe in general at this place.“

“I just got a memorial tattoo for my dog that had passed from Douglas and I was left speechless. He worked with my budget and did an absolute amazing job. Thank you Douglas so much. My dog will now forever live on me.“

“All the artists are very polite and respectful as well as professional they also are the cheapest place in all of Knoxville“

“i got my second helix done by mike today and he was AMAZING! he’s so friendly and informative. we love mike.“

“Came in after a bad experience at another tattoo shop. Hanz was understanding, professional, timely, knowledgeable, cleanly, etc…Pricing was reasonable. I got a tattoo of the Tri-star on my forearm. Hanz uses high quality materials and equipment. Im happy with the artwork and my overall experience.

Requested style: Stippling“

“Mal did great work for all 4 of us. Wife and I did matching tattoos and they both look amazing. Definitely coming back for more.Tattoos price: $400“

“I’ve been getting tattooed by Cari for over 15 years and I won’t let anyone else touch me. Her work is immaculate, she’s always down for what ever absurd shit I throw at her, and she’s just all around one of the kindest, coolest people I know. Every other staff member I’ve encountered is super chill and I cannot recommend this shop and Cari highly enough.“

“Wonderfuul artists and staff very friendly atmosphere. Just got my first tattoo at Colorbox by Kaitlyn and it came out amazing!!! Kaitlyn is a great artist and super cool human highly recommend“
