Jason Ponce rocks! I was in Nashville for Stephen Wilson Jr shows at the Ryman. I got lucky ... and…read moreStephen Wilson Jr signed my arm. I was hoping to get it tattooed before I left town. A friend recommended Jason. I contacted him, explained my situation. He was replying to me after midnight via Messenger and came into work early the next day to fit me in. He did a phenomenal job (and played my favorite music while he worked.). I just love the tattoo and I had the most fun just talking with Jason. He is so personable and has so many great stories. HIGHLY, highly recommend him.

I've always wanted to walk out half way through my tattoo sessions but Matt was so gentle that most of the time I was just playing on my phone relaxing. Also his work turned out AMAZING! Exactly spot on with what I wanted.

Hey if you want to get ripped off come here ! Where you're quoted $250 for a small tattoo... shop…read moreminimum is a $100 and they will give you a book that a 5 year old can draw. Employee was nonchalant and didn't really care, seems he wasn't confident in his abilities so quoting us something outrageous was suitable. I wish I would have taken a photo of the book he handed me. Vibe was way off 0 stars if I could and that's just being honest. Thanks rebel yell.

Thanks Josh! You nailed it!!

Sage and Serpent is a safe third space for many looking to get a tattoo in the Nashville area. I…read morewas recommended this business by a friend when I was looking for a tattooist to really listen to my inquiry about a particular, original piece. Kristen Kooster was the artist whose line work caught my eye, and without a doubt her precision and meticulousness made the tattooing process so wonderful. If you haven't gotten a tattoo before, you will first be asked to schedule a consult prior to then getting an appointment for the main body of work. The scheduling was seamless, all digitized through text and email which made integrating into Google Calendar a breeze. There is endless art and intrigue on all the walls here, and I enjoyed taking some time appreciating it while in the waiting area. It was lovely to see how supportive everyone was of each other in the suites. Love seeing solidarity and friendship amongst women doing amazing work! As a woman of color in the South, I felt safe and cared for here. They also have a bevy of snacks and a gravel lot for guests. Super seamless process, start to finish. Highly recommend, especially if you wanna first dip your toe into tattoos with a flash tattoo! All the artists here do fantastic work. It really is wearable art for your skin gallery.

Booked in for a small tattoo on my ankle. Was called about an hour before my appointment saying the…read moreprior appointment was running long and asking if I could come in an hour later. No problem! When I arrived about 10 minutes early, I was greeted warmly and given some paperwork to fill out...and then I sat...and sat...and sat, as artists and the receptionist gossiped and I was ignored. After 45 minutes, I had to leave. I had already arrived an hour later than expected and I had places to be. When I told the receptionist, I was asked if I would like to reschedule. No thanks. Maybe if there had been ANY communication, but no. I asked for a refund of my deposit and was laughed at. I understand the point of the deposit, but considering I paid to waste a couple of hours of my life, I thought they might have a bit of empathy. Will not be going back. I'll stick to my usual artist, even thought it's a much longer drive.

Eric is amazing. My wife went to our local tattoo artist that we knew and came recommended. When…read moreshe showed him what she wanted, he said "you need a fine line tattoo artist for this job". We didn't know there was a difference. Apparently this is a special skill. My sweet little wife who never had a tattoo wanted 3 separate pieces done for her 50th birthday. She came home so happy! She said she felt hardly any pain and can't wait to go back for the next one. Ha! These are still under healing wrap, so I will post more pics again after they heal. We highly recommend Eric. He is very skilled and very gentle. Happy wife, happy life!

If you happen to schedule your tattoo earlier than that, there is plenty of free parking around the building. Chipper's studio inside is rife with intriguing decor to chat about as you get inked, such as some of his canvased art pieces and even a preserved octopus tentacle. I received a small/medium full-color tattoo on my forearm recently, and Chipper was a detail-oriented, efficient artist. I was completely finished withing about 2.5 hours with a fantastic tattoo. After about a month and a week, Chipper also offers touch-ups. When I took him up on his offer, my tattoo looked even more vibrant, and I was out of the tattoo chair in a mere 30 minutes. Chipper is an expert in his field, and he is a fantastic conversationalists. You will know how vital this is when you get tattooed and need someone to distract you from the inevitable pain of the needle. Excellent experience with a talented artist and highly recommend.
