What locals say about Charlotte tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Charlotte.
“Best tattoo experience I've ever had, by far! Very professional and attentive throughout the entire process, from booking through the design creation and finally getting inked. Chris listened to what I had in mind and absolutely nailed it with a one of a kind design. He constantly checked on me making sure I was as comfortable during the entire 8 hours and so did Jason, offering snacks and water. Everyone was very friendly and you can tell they care about their clients. The studio has an amazing atmosphere and is super clean. I won't get tattooed anywhere else from now on. Great job, everyone, I will be back soon for another one!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about my experiences at Canvas! From the consultation to the tattoo sessions, everything has been fantastic. Pandora was the artist I chose to create a large floral tattoo on my upper arm and chest. She listened to what I wanted and came up with a breathtaking design. I have had 2 sessions with her and am looking forward to my last session. I have gotten so many compliments on the detail and design of the tattoo. I recommend Canvas to anyone who is looking to get a tattoo. All the artists are so talented and specialize in something unique.”
“I booked my first tattoo with JP and I will continue to go to him for all my future tattoos. JP and all the other staff at Tattoo Me Charlotte were so professional and nice. They made me feel very comfortable and both sessions were amazing experiences. JP is insanely talented and I’ve gotten many compliments. His line and detail work is out of this world. I can’t even express how happy I am. His services were well worth what I paid for. I highly recommend coming here. The only down side is parking can get annoying (not the shop’s fault), however, anyone visiting should give themselves more than enough time to find a good parking spot.”
