We discussed a few different things and she drew up a concept for Yggdrasil (World Tree). I've had other tattoo artist and shop workers comment about how good the cover up is and I was super happy with it. Will 100% go back for another tattoo from her. She is pretty direct, which may not be some people's vibe, but that was something I looked for when I consulted, which lead me to trust her pretty quick.

Underground Art is the best tattoo studio experience I have ever had and I have over 25 tattoos!…read moreThe artists are talented, kind, communicate well and make sure you have everything you need to have a great experience. They also make getting tattooed financially accessible by offering payment plans, which is super helpful! What other tattoo shops do that!? I don't know a single one. They really go out of their way to create a space that feels safe for the diversity of people who get tattoos and that is truly a gift to find in a business, let alone a tattoo shop. I make it a point to always get a tattoo when I come through Memphis from Underground Art. I cannot recommend them enough!

I had a consult with Jordan Epperson in August, and it was my first consult for a tattoo ever. His…read morepresence was super positive, warm, and friendly, and when I told him the idea for my tattoo, he was able to interpret my thoughts well. Yesterday was the big reveal for my tattoo and his ability to interpret what I wanted onto paper and then skin was incredible. It is a floral piece and it is BEAUTIFUL. My tattoo lasted four hours and during that time, Jordan must have ascertained that I do better with talking because we held a conversation for four hours with no issues. He is hilarious, easy going, and like a best friend you haven't seen in a long time and you just picked right back where you left off. He is able to educate in a way that is not overly technical, and overall he is a positive, cool dude. 10 out 10 would recommend, 5 gold stars from me! Other positives: The lady at the front desk was also SUPER nice and easy going. Brent, one of the owners, and Alton, were also pretty cool dudes too. Love the BCT vibe. Can't wait to get my next tattoo!

DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE!!!! I got an industrial done here a week ago and woke up today with severe…read moreproblems from it. I cleaned it and kept up with the work every day and night. but this morning I woke up with the middle part basically engulfing the piercing. I never slept on that side or had added pressure. I posted a picture on reddit. you can read the comments and decide on the verdict (r/piercing : too far gone to save?) everyone in the comments suggested it was poorly pierced and I did not have the right anatomy for this piercing. Also was told that they gave me waaaaay too big of a bar. bigger bars are used for healing but this size of bar does more damage than good.. I wish i was told that i did not have the right ear anatomy for it instead of blowing 80 dollars at a shit job. Thanks for the "quality" service. Get your piercing done somewhere else.
