Tattoo Shops near Old Hickory

“Zach was very pleasant and professional , I was very nervous and he made me feel very comfortable“

“Chipper did not do the original line work (that’s about 20 years old at this point) but he did an amazing job doing a partial coverup/reimagining of this piece I never finished on my chest.

He took the ideas I gave him and put his own, amazing artistic spin on it - plus took the time to build up this piece layer by layer - making sure it looked well placed on my body and well balanced on it as well. He took his time making sure we placed things well so that when he got to tattooing he could work quick and efficiently.

He checked in frequently, we took breaks when needed and overall the entire thing was a great experience & I will continue to recommend Chipper to anyone who will appreciate his amazing style.

Most of my tattoos feel more like stickers - this feels like a painting on my skin.“

“Let me tell y’all something Scooby is the cleanest, and the nicest guy ever. He have patience and will talk to you step-by-step, and he’s super fast. I got my nose pierced for the 10th time lol And he still talk me through it! The time I took to breathed in and out he was done! A lot of people don’t have patience who does piercings but he does! He did the piercing with the stud“

“I accompanied my adult daughter yesterday to get her nose and ears pierced. Joe Hardin was fantastic. His calm and professional demeanor made her feel comfortable the entire time. He clearly explained everything she needed to know from the type of jewelry to the procedure and tools used to the aftercare. Would definitely go back to Joe again!!“

“Been getting tattoos from Zane for 8 years now and this is my favorite shop he’s been at. It’s always a place I’m happy to sit in for hours. Everyone is kind & welcoming while the atmosphere is warm & inviting. Zane is who I always recommend to everyone looking for someone in Nashville. He is an expert and has saved me from making horrible tattoo decisions more than once while providing a 1000x better option. Going back for a third time next week and can hardly wait ?“

“I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to think to leave a Facebook review, but I absolutely recommend Island Tattoo to anybody and everybody who asks. All of my work there has been done by Jay, but I’ve also seen Kirk’s work firsthand and it’s just as solid, just in a different style. I know that regardless of the artist, these guys aren’t going to let anything but the absolute best work walk out of their shop. It can be difficult to get on the books, but that’s a good problem to have, and they’re absolutely worth the wait.“

“OMG!! Danelle is wonderful and she delivered exactly what I wanted!! If I lived in Nashville, she would be my artist. Thank you, thank you, thank you Danelle!! My troll holding a pig is perfect!“

“Walked in with a group of 5. Everyone was very helpful and professional. Work was outstanding.“

“The vibe is awesome! Not your typical tattoo parlor. The tattoo was amazing and making an appointment for a "wanna do" was the way to go. I was visiting from out of state and wanted a tattoo and found Safe House and Ian White. His work is amazing and he's a true artist. I love his work. He and his staff were super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back for another when I'm back in town! Highly recommend. Pictures to come once healed ...“

“Chipper Harbin is a tattoo legend!
I had the opportunity to get a tattoo by Chip when visiting Nashville. Chip tapped into the type of design I was looking for and produced a design that was right on point and I love the result. He has a very cool aesthetic and was very accommodating in fitting me into his busy schedule. His set up was very clean and professional, and he has a great playlist and conservation to match.

Requested style: I gave Chip an idea of what I was looking for and he produced a beautiful design for me that tapped into my style.

Specialties: Chip's designs are very unique and I love having a cool "one of a kind" tattoo.

Cleanliness: Chip's set up is exceptionally clean.

Stylist: Chip's style is very unique and he put a great spin on the type of design I was seeking.“

“The second you walk in you feel welcome! I can't say enough about the people and the environment here. They make you feel comfortable and at home! They worked with me to help put my heart in ink. English spent lots of time before I came in to help me find the right artist and gave me great tips on getting my tattoos. Adam took time to be sure I was getting exactly what I wanted and helped me feel comfortable since this was my first tattoo. I ended up getting 3! I love them more than I could've imagined and that is because of these incredible people! I work in the natural health care field, so finding a place up to my high standards was just as important as finding compassionate artists. They met both with flying colors! I'll be back and I'm telling all my friends about Safe House!“

“One of the best tattoos I have! Did great work and got me in and out in a time crunch. I would come back here many times over for my tattoos!“

“Definitely found my place. Steve was awesome really did an amazing job with my tattoo and will be back to finish my sleeve!!“

“Go see Tez V the owner. He'll get you right every mf time!! TATTOOS AREN'T CHEAP AND CHEAP TATTOOS AREN'T GOOD!!“

“10/10 would recommend! The Electric Hand is a super shop with an amazing team of artists; I've been going since it opened and have always had great experiences. Shop is clean, staff are friendly, and they take great care of you.

Ben, the shop owner, is incredible - he's done various styles and cover ups for me. Always super nice and easy to work with, plus he has some dope flash and art to reference.

Can't recommend enough - go get a tattoo!“

“Everyone in the shop is crazy good. Highly recommended and the only place I’m going to get tattooed in Nashville. Been there a dozen times and they have absolute legends in the tattoo world working there.“

“Did a quick Google search for a tattoo/piercing shop while we're here on a quick trip and found this place. Due to getting delayed by a train, we arrived to the shop about 10-15 minutes before closing. All the ladies were really nice and accommodating. Dixie was sooooo sweet and pierced my navel even though they were about to close. The area was clean, she was quick, and it didn't hurt at all. Good price and nice staff. I would definitely recommend this shop to my friends. ?“

“I loved how they took care of my 15-year-old daughter, the one who put it on is super kind and careful.??“

“What a great experience!!! Amber went out of her way to find a replacement earring for me. The entire staff was friendly, and helpful. Customer service means the world to me, but add to that a clean and comfortable shop, and I’m hooked. I will be back! I’m long overdue for some ink therapy anyways. ?“
