Best Tattoo Shops In Knoxville

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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“

“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 came in here for a walk-in appointment after seeing a reel online. It was exactly what I was hoping for! It was a non-toxic, welcoming, and talented staff that gave me exactly what I was hoping for with my tattoo. I highly recommend using them if you’re looking for something professional.“

“For the second time, Julia Neely gave me a tattoo that is beautiful beyond my expectations. She is calm, professional, and patient. For both my tattoos she worked with me to be sure I loved the composition both in terms of its meaning to me and the general aesthetic, and the end results were stunning. While waiting for the stencil to print, I noticed that it was pleasant to just sit there. It's subjective of course l, and the art is what is most important, but I liked the rap and metal music playing in the shop, and the snippets of conversation I overheard gave me a sense that I was around good human beings. They are cash only and as a loyal customer I ask that you tip.

Google always asks if a place is accessible for wheelchairs, has parking for handicapped and so on. I believe this place would be disability accessible but I think it would be best to have an abled friend with you to swing by and check it out.“

“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 ??“

“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!“

“Alex did an AMAZING job. He was sweet, funny and made me feel very comfortable. He will definitely be doing my next tattoo.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“got my ears pierced at an 8g by Doni Goad, and went very smoothly. they look amazing and have as little discomfort as they can have for a big hole in your ear.“

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“

“Beautiful location which is very clean. the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Tyler did our piercings and was very helpful and pleasant. 10/10 experience and worth the price.“
