TATTOO SHOPS
NEAR ME IN Savannah, Georgia

“I had been looking for a new place ever since my (go-to) tattoo artist died a few years ago. I was really nervous to seek out someone/somewhere new (anxiety, ugh) but I had a friend tell me about Riverside and that she thought I’d get along well with the folks there. As usual, she was right. From the furniture and decor in their entry (LOVE that golden sofa) to their artists and staff, I loved every person I met. I can’t wait to return and have some more work done by Lydia! They were amazing and I was really shocked at how they took what I was sure I wanted and presented it in some new and different ways that made it go from pretty to perfect. That is a professional. That is someone who understands that you need to be sure before you even sit in the chair. A problem solver, cutting and pasting away until it’s just right. Lol. I can’t tell you how happy I am with the results. I’m over the moon. I’m obsessed. I cannot thank Lydia enough and I can’t wait to you again! 🖤 (I’ll try not to nervous babble about stupid shit and just tell you some funny stories. Haha)”

“i had such a great experience with uriel! they were super patient, made me feel comfortable the whole time, and really listened to what i wanted. the attention to detail in my tattoo is amazing—it came out even better than i imagined. uriel has such a steady hand and creative eye, and you can tell they care about their clients. definitely recommend if you’re looking for someone talented, professional, and kind!!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the incredible crow tattoo Ben Kelly created for me at Red Ocean Tattoo on E. President Street in Savannah. Everything from start to finish was beyond expectations. From the free consultation hour (Tues–Sat, noon–1 pm) to the calm, friendly check‑ins during the session, Ben’s process is rooted in collaboration. He took my vision and elevated it with his skill. Red Ocean Tattoo maintains a spotless, welcoming atmosphere—with a laid‑back yet professional vibe. Ben’s realism skills are incredible — he captured the crow’s intricate feathers and created the energy and mood I wanted with jaw‑dropping detail and shading. Working with Ben Kelly was an absolute treat. His vision, skill, and care turned a simple crow tattoo into a beautiful, truly personal piece of art. If you're looking for someone who blends technical excellence with friendly collaboration, Ben Kelly at Red Ocean Tattoo is all that and more. My experience could not have been better. I’ve already booked for my next tattoo. Red Ocean gets a perfect score from me!”
