Field notes

What locals say about Chattanooga tattoo shops

Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Chattanooga.

“This is a super great place. I love Haile, their piercer. She's very nice and gentle and makes sure your piercing is placed where you want it. She's done two of my piercings so far, and I'll definitely continue going here for all my piercing desires. Updated 7/26/2025 5 stars isnt enough stars tbh. As of this year, Haile has done 9 of my piercings and we're planning for way more. She's always been kind and patient with us and takes ample time to make sure placement is perfect. When I have an issue with my jewelry, shes the first one I go to. Please make sure you eat BEFORE your body mod appointments. And being on time helps everyone. Poor planning on your part does not constitute an 'emergency' on theirs. I fear this is common sense. Go get stabbed by Haile. 💜”
Dana Mason on Studio 222
“I got my first tattoo at Main Line and I’ve been hooked ever since. This shop honestly feels like a home away from home. The energy is so good the second you walk in. It’s inclusive, welcoming, and filled with art everywhere you look. Everyone there is kind and easy to talk to which makes a big difference when you’re spending hours in the chair. I’ve had work done by Julia, Morgan, and Aniel and every single one of them has been amazing. Julia did my Appa tattoo and captured him perfectly. Morgan has done beautiful work for me already and I’ve got another appointment with her in October. Aniel did my roses with my dog’s paw print and it’s such a meaningful piece that I couldn’t be happier with. Each of them has their own style but it all flows together and feels like me. Katie at the front desk is phenomenal. She’s super quick with the booking process and never makes you feel like you’re asking too many questions or being too much. She makes everything smooth and stress free which I appreciate a lot. I haven’t been tattooed yet by Jennifer, Seth, or Brittany but they’ve all been just as friendly and welcoming whenever I’ve been in the shop. You can tell it’s a team that supports each other and cares about their clients. The shop itself is spotless and everyone’s stations are always clean. They clearly take hygiene and safety seriously which makes the whole process stress free. Main Line has the best vibes, the best artists, and they’ve turned something that used to just be an idea into something I’m proud to carry with me every day. I’m already planning more work here and would recommend them to absolutely anyone.”
Tyler Cordell on Main Line Tattoo
“This woman-owned shop offers an exceptional experience. The appointment creates a calm, focused, and personal environment. Via, my piercer, is a professional. She is skilled, reassuring, and takes the time to explain each step, which I truly appreciated. The quality of her work is outstanding. I love that the shop prioritizes a welcoming, inclusive, and professional experience. Not to mention, the way they've utilized this gorgeous old house! I'm already planning my next visit.”
