This space is SO NICE! There is plenty of street parking, the building itself is very nice, and the…read morestudio is wonderful. The concept of the studio itself is two-fold. When you first enter, there is a gallery room which has art pieces by local artists, as well as vintage furniture for sale. As tattoo artists, they made it known that they want to help showcase other local artists as well, which I think is a great concept/model to show appreciation to the community. There are two artists that opened the studio - Betsy Butler and David Riley. Their individual areas are comfortable and beautifully decorated. Betsy is such a friendly person that makes everyone feel seen and welcomed. She is a fantastic artist and everything she does is unique and special to each person. I love her and her work! David is the artist that I work with. He has done all of my tattoos for several years. David is such a talented artist, but he is also a very down-to-earth person that makes sure you feel comfortable. I appreciate that he takes your ideas and uses his creativity to make something that ends up being exactly what you wanted. He makes sure that he pursues projects that let him express his creativity, while spending time to develop an idea that is perfect for the client. It is a private studio. They don't take walk-ins, they are appointment only - you book through their social media/email. Pricing is done by artist, by the hour, so as far as I know, there are no lump prices for specific pieces. If you need a tattoo and don't mind waiting for quality - definitely check them out!

Really disappointing experience with Caleb Wright. Contacted him on his business page in reference…read moreto a sternum sword tattoo he had previously done and posted on his page, explicitly stating I wanted a sternum tattoo of a sword in the illustrative style he had posted. He enthusiastically accepted, looked at my several reference pictures including location on a model, style, and desired imagery. He again accepted, quoted me a price for the tattoo and deposit and asked if that was acceptable so he could book a date. I responded yes that worked for me and he then read the message and did not respond. after several days I contacted him to follow up on booking, after which he replied he could not do the tattoo because it made his girlfriend uncomfortable. For a long list of reasons any normal adult could understand this is ridiculous, unprofessional, and a huge red flag. there are plenty of great artists and shops in the area, don't waste your time with Caleb Wright.

This past appointment was with Darius and I am so happy with how it turned out. I met with him via a zoom meeting prior to making the appointment to confirm we were a good fit for each other and to discuss the design. I was able to schedule my appointment at that time and pay my deposit via Venmo. Easy and Covid friendly! On appointment day, I was let in and had my temperature taken. They asked that I also washed my hands before doing anything. Loved how germ safe they are. I sat in the front room to fill out my paperwork and then was taken back to get started. Everyone around was chatting and giving music requests- it was a great environment! My tattoos came out exactly how I wanted. The line work is beautiful and the coloring is gorgeous. I will certainly be back for more and still highly recommend this shop.

A quick call and was told they had a opening. From the time I arrived the wait was minimum just long enough to do paperwork. Trinity was my artist and I love how even though this wasn't my first tat he went through the process always talked me through each step and made sure I knew what he was doing. The downside was they don't take credit cards had to make a quick run to an atm. Shop minimum was $60 which is about average in Charleston. Great people great business.

I ended up liking the larger design but I only truly realized that it was his fault because he wanted to take up the full 3 hour session. I was naive since I got my first tattoo with him and I put my trust in him for my second. DO NOT schedule an appointment without asking for a price before hand. Quality of the tattoo was mediocre and over double what it should have costed. Also gave me terrible advice for healing process. I was nothing but nice and quiet the whole time but honestly since talking to other people and realizing that I got scammed, i downloaded yelp just for this review. 0/10, don't get scammed. I'm sure some of the artists are capable but mine was cheap and stole my money. $1200 for 3 hours of work (with tip) that could have easily been $500.
