My best friend and I received matching tattoos here a couple of years ago before I was a Yelper!…read more Studio 42 is a unique little tattoo and piercing shop located in Memphis. The artists there are awesome! I've personally only been tattooed by Garrett but everyone else's work looks amazing as well. Everyone was super welcoming and we were in and out with tattoos we loved! Pro tip: the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the parking lot is small, poorly lit, and pretty sketchy after dark. Bring a friend with you if you're skittish!

My only complaint is that the lines of my…read moretattoo were different widths and a bit wavy, that may be because of the artist, not the parlors fault.

Went in for a small tattoo and was quoted almost $200. I asked why this was the case and they said…read more"It will take about 2 hours and we charge an hourly rate." The piece took just under an hour total and while I'm happy with the tattoo, I was told the same price. I asked if the fact it took half the time changed the price and they said no. I wouldn't have minded paying for two hours worth of service if I received that. I know people who have gotten similar size pieces that were more detailed for the normal $100/hr rate. If you're looking to get a piercing the service is good and fair, I (and several others I know) have had good experiences with their piercers.

Incredible studio and staff!…read more If you're considering getting work done here, I definitely recommend Tyler! My fiancé and I decided to get our first tattoos while down in Memphis. After researching the top places, Illusion Ink blew all of them out of the water with their reviews and pictures. And since we were so close to Mississippi, we decided to make the drive. I saw all of the artists work online and loved Tyler's work. Not really being picky on who we would have do them when we got there, what would you know, Tyler was the one who greeted us and did our tattoos. Extremely professional, laid back, funny, great to have a conversation with, and does incredible work! Everything was perfect and our tattoos turned out even better than we could've expected! Both of us got very different things and both of us were thrilled with the outcome! Awesome artist and awesome person! I loved the fact that everything was communicated! When drawing up our designs Tyler checked with each of us on size and style more than once to make sure we both loved and got exactly what we wanted! The entire studio was immaculate. Everything was well organized and extremely clean. Everything was sanitized in front of us before doing my tattoo and again before doing my fiancé's. Everything used was brand new and opened in front of us. Cannot express how clean and organized the studio and their staff is. Definitely made me more comfortable! Was absolutely blown away by the staff. Everyone was so down to earth and welcoming as soon as you walked through the front door. Everyone in the shop treated and talked to us like family. Love that! After getting our tattoos we even received an illusion ink sticker, business card, and a card on how to care for our tattoos - super awesome especially since these were our first tattoos! Their pricing is the best pricing you can find in a tattoo studio, especially for the area! They are very reasonable and work with you to find the best fit and price for what you want and can afford! 10/10 recommend this studio and their staff! We will definitely be back!

I've never received anything less than stellar customer service. Their piercers and tattoo artists are very personable and will make you feel at ease while working their magic. The shop is clean and comfortable on the inside, and there is a ton of art to keep you distracted from the "beauty is pain" part of your tattoo or piercing. Pro tip: make sure to call or DM them to book an appointment, their artists are in high demand and book up quick!

I then was able to get my tattoo with Marc. He too was hygienic and talked me through it. Very sweet and it did not hurt. I absolutely love the outcome of the tattoo! I highly recommend them both to anyone interested in getting these things done. The place was clean and enjoyable music playing. Will offered us waters while we waited as well. I would definitely come back here again and will recommend them to others.

We had previously gone in to Trilogy, and the artist there raved about how a solid black mannequin would cover up the old tattoo. OF COURSE a solid black image can cover up ANY tattoo. At this place however, we explained that she wanted her tattoo "Believe" to be covered up with a mannequin. And I suggested that a damask or paisley print would have to be a design on the mannequin to add/skew lines from the font of "Believe." As you can see, it came our GREAT! And it looks so much better than a black blob would've looked! Not to mention, the three men working there were very nice. They may look a little rough, but looks are deceiving. They were watching Family Feud, Jeopardy, and other GSN shows while we were there. Haha!

I can't speak for my husband, but Brent had a very light hand and I didn't feed my upper back and shoulder tattoo hardly at all. He was very polite and understanding. I absolutely love my newest addition to my tattoo collection. Thanks Mike and Brent! We will be seeing you guys again soon!
