I heard that inked provides good tattoos, but please don't go here for piercings. I tried them out for a change because it was close by, so I went in for a simple labret piercing on my lip. The piercing itself was quick and the lady was nice, but the jewelry was comically long. They use stainless steel which is not good material for fresh piercings, and their jewelry is externally threaded which is another red flag. The piercer said I had to keep this inch long bar in for two weeks to make room for swelling (which I understand) but it was so long that I literally ate nothing for almost two days because I couldn't eat without biting the bar. I immediately got an irritation bump the next morning because the long bar caused so much movement. $80 dollars down the drain.

The place is super clean, very quiet, and not at all intimidating. This is tattoo #7 for me and was an excellent experience. Stilow was EXCELLENT. Start to finish, very communicative. Tattoo is CLEAN and looks fantastic. The fine line work is gorgeous and I am so happy. Awesome for a walk-in!

This tattoo shop is amazing!! It's very modern, clean, organized, with great people (especially Rachel), and did I mentioned CLEANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! My #1 concern with any place is cleanliness, and to my expectations. If it's clean it makes me feel comfortable. One day I was online in search for a good tattoo artist...which I have several tattoos and could have easily gone to a previous shop I have visited. For this tattoo, I wanted to actually do some research, because it was for a cover up and I wanted to add watercolors. The name of this place stood out and they are located in my favorite part of town: Midtown. I first looked online for reviews...THANK YOU GOOGLE AND YELP! I also went on their website looking at different artists' work. Rachel's stood out to me the most. She has a lot of detailed work applying watercolors. Her customers also left amazing comments as well. I inquired about an appointment via web, and Rachel replied back to me within 24 hours. We scheduled a consultation. I arrived a few minutes before my scheduled time, and she saw me immediately. I explained to her what I was wanting to do, and she gave me a few suggestions, which I totally loved. A $50 deposit is required to secure your appointment, so I scheduled for the following weekend. I was very nervous (even though I have multiple times) when I arrived. The tattoo shop was looking vibrant and clean as usual. I was there 20 minutes before my appointment (sweating bullets lol). Rachel came in prepared....which is a triple plus for me! I was waiting no time. She made sure I was comfortable, before she started. Even though, it was a painful process I took it very well, and I'm thankful that Rachel has a light hand...I've had previous people with heavy hands do my tattoos. If I decide to get another tattoo (which I am..lol), Rachel will be my go to person. She's awesome...her work speaks for itself!!!

Awesome ink from Rachel at Inked Memphis!

Rachel at Inked is a goddess with a tattoo needle. I came in for a consultation and she drew up a custom tattoo for me. Within a couple of weeks, I came in and got the ink done. She did amazing work in a marathon 6.5 hour session. A consult is $50. It saves your appointment and acts like a security deposit. If you come back and get the work done, it's applied to your tattoo. If you don't, you lose it. Hourly rate is $125 which is relatively inexpensive for how good of work they do. If you're in the market for a tattoo, go see Rachel at Inked Memphis!!

I have had 2 great experiences at Inked, back in June I went in to get my industrial done, the piercer was great. He listened to exactly how I wanted it done, the angle I wanted it done at and even measured out a few different bars to get the right fit. I went back this last weekend to get a tattoo, they were awesome with my perfectionist attitude, and didn't once show annoyance in my getting the size and customization "just right". They didn't have the font I wanted, however there wasn't any hesitation in jumping on google and printing out the font. I was in and out fast and am extremely pleased with the outcome! While I was there I had the piercer check out my industrial and the healing process to make sure everything was looking the way it should, he even switched my bars out for me. Inked is very clean, very sterile and are serious about their work!

I had been planning this tattoo for two months and I was so excited. I even had six other friends who were going to get tattoos the same day. I thought I had everything coordinated over the phone and through messaging on Instagram however when I arrived at 2 PM no one was in the studio and the door says they opened at 1 PM. The artist I had spoken with had the dates mixed up but that doesn't explain why they opened after the hours on the door... they should've been my sign to not get the tattoo. Many of the others in my group canceled but I decided I would give it a shot because mistakes happen and now I regret the entire experience. Not only was one of the guys rude none of the staff seem like they wanted to be there.... as for my tattoo the guy was great he's a new artist I did not know that he'd only been tattooing for a year when we started but the tattoo is fairly simple however what I thought was a simple Tattoo ended up with lines that are not straight and not really repairable unless I black out the entire area. The guy didn't even secure my arm, it was just floating, and I had to point out many things while trying to even things up..As a person with many tattoos probably over 15 and sleeved arms this was by far the worst experience I've ever had.

This was my drawing of what I wanted I will post photo of actual tattoo tomorrow

Joel Hilgenberg & Brent Hale did my last 5 tattoos. They're pros. I'll continue to use them.

Do y'all do nose piercing?..and if so how old do you have to be to get it with a parent?

Yes, This is an 18 & up only studio. So no parent needed being 18+.

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!

Brent Hale has put 40 hours of work into my sleeve and shoulder over the years. His specialty is…read moreAmerican Traditional. He has solid lines and great use of color. He runs a great shop that is super clean. They have lots of flash available but let the artists show you their work. Between all the artists they can get any style of tattoo. They are reasonably priced for tattoos and piercings. I highly recommend stopping by if you are looking to get new art.
