What locals say about Memphis tattoo shops

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

“This was such a great experience! 2 wings on the back of my neck. Pain 2/10. Conversation 10/10. Tattoo 11/10! Thankyou for making this such a great one of a kind of experience with me and my gf specially for her 1st tattoo! Would get tats with you again. 😉👍🏻”
Courtney Cooley on me2tattoo
“I reached out to Rayne by messenger and she responded so quickly. She's great at communicating and answering questions. I brought my daughter in for her first tattoo for her 19th birthday. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Definitely a far cry from my first tattoo experience. The shop was clean and comfortable. My daughter LOVES her tattoo. Rayne put her at ease. The lovely receptionist brought us snacks and water. I had messaged Rayne before we came in to see if I could get my nose pierced and she was happy to accommodate. She also told us both to reach out to her if we have questions or concerns. She was very thorough in describing what to expect. Over all a lovely experience and I can't wait to have her do my next tattoo!”
Lynn Wins on Skin City Ink Memphis - Tattoo & Piercing
“I’ve been getting inked for over 30 years and currently working on getting my entire back done. I recently relocated to north Mississippi and spent several months researching and talking with different artists in the region seeking a skilled Japanese Artist. I stumbled across Ink Therapy and talked with Claus. We had a good vibe with each other and he had all the knowledge of this style of ink. He literally was the first artist I came across that is really into Japanese Tattoos. He knows the style, the mythology, the imagery placement and the color palette. He pulls clean, fine straight lines and can pack in solid saturated colors and fine detail. Not only that… I sat for 7 hrs and could have probably sat for 10. In all my years of being inked I have never had an artist with such a lite gentle steady hand. Majority of the time I didn’t feel like I was being tattooed. I literally could have taken a nap it was so pleasant. I highly recommend getting work done by him especially if you are planning on getting a sensitive area done like ribs, neck, traps, inner arm etc.”
