Tattoo Charlie's

Walked in at 7:09 to try and get second holes done in lobes. Place closes at 8. "we take our last client at 7,so we have time to sterilze everything" okay close and lock your doors at 7 then you close at 7. Just be aware if you're a walk in and are interested in any piercings. Was trying to find a place with decent reviews on practice and staff but I'll be going elsewhere.

One of my bullets from the end of my industrial fell out randomly after like four years of torture from everyday life. I filled out the form online and got called pretty much as soon as they opened. I was able to get in same day to get that fixed with Chad I also decided to finally upgrade my nostril. Chad is rad. Took his time with me when I was deciding on my nostril Jewerly. Cracked a few jokes and next thing I know I’m reborn as a new woman. Again, Chad is rad. 10000%%%%%%% recommend. ✨✨✨✨✨✨

January 1995 , on a cold freezing night me and my brothers stopped on the way back to Cumberland College/ UC now . Slipped outta there 4 tattoos (3 other friends got theirs)!! 1995 OG/ female artist did mine but can’t remember her & Charlie was there and left to go home /it was about 10 pm when we got there lol . Tasmanian Devil/ EQI letter’s tattooed in the stomach area

I came to Tattoo Charlie’s as someone who just moved to lexington from a rural town with 2 tattoo shops and one APP certified piercer for the entire town. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, vibe, jewelry options, and artwork when I came in with my brother when he got his dermal. I talked to 2 (I believe Jess and Jordan, they were both the sweetest) of the piercers about my anatomy to be pierced at a larger gauge for my septum that day and we discussed some options for the future. About a week after that discussion, I set my appointment for Tuesday at 2:30 originally, then called back after calling my friends who were coming in from out of town to go with me, to reschedule for 3 because I did not want to be late. When I was in my best friend’s car on the way there, I read in the confirmation text that stated to let the staff know if you will be late. I called and said I would be AROUND 5 minutes late and it would be all good. I arrived 5 minutes after the 5 minutes late I said I would be, it was 3:11 when I arrived. I was profusely apologizing as I came in since I had an appointment that I was late for, but like any professional business there is typically a grace period. In which the woman at the front desk with multiple eyebrow piercings did not appreciate to apply. My Father in Law is an established tattoo artist in Morehead for over 10 years, and that was genuinely extremely uncalled for especially with her knowing I was in the car on the way with friends from out of town, an hour away. and told her I would be late. As soon as I walked in I apologized for being late, and she said “Are you Yhanna?” and I replied “Yes!” very enthusiastically and she said in the flattest, most unsympathetic tone that the rest of the spots were filled and someone took my appointment because i was 10 (5 if you include me letting her know i’d be late) minutes late. I called that day and asked about walk ins as well, so you could have just said you didn’t want to do work on me and moved on. The piercers here are lovely and i highly recommend them, but because of my experience with the woman at the front desk i unfortunately will not be recommending this spot nor returning.

My tattoo I got here from over a decade ago still looks nice. I was in there recently for something and what stood out was that it was very clean in there. Some may not like it but their site states they refuse to do unsafe piercings and I actually think that is a responsible thing that reflects positively on the establishment.

I had an amazing experience here!!! Whitney did my earlobe piercings and it all went very smooth. She clearly explained everything happening, how to take care of my piercings, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Also, I have an aluminum allergy so I was happy that they had good quality jewelry I could safely wear! Highly recommend!!!

got my nostril pierced here by whitney! she was super sweet and reassuring when i made her aware about my fear of needles. she walked me through the process, showed me the tools, double checked i was comfortable and even gave me a sucker afterwards, haha! the place was super clean as well, with kind employees and lots of cool stuff to look at inside. definitely a great place to look at for a first piercing!

Such an amazing experience! Lauren did an amazing job on my tattoo and Whitney was amazing doing my first ear piercing. She is so knowledgeable and gave such great aftercare advice.

Great experience! Everyone was very kind! I just wish there was more price transparency. I went in to get a second lobe piercing on one ear & I wanted the cheapest, most basic jewelry. I felt pressured to choose something more expensive (no prices listed on the jewelry case and when I asked, I got no response). I literally got one ear lobe pierced and it ended up being over $75. I was not expecting that at all. I was not asked if I wanted to pay for the $10 saline spray—it was put in a bag and I was told to go to checkout, making me think it was included. I’m sure I was charged for this (the same stuff is $5 at your neighborhood convenience store). Then with a tip, one lobe piercing ended up being over $90. Just disappointed because I could’ve gotten two piercings for the price for this single piercing any where else. Since I couldn’t get any price transparency, I wanted to post this review to hopefully help someone!
