    @20 hours post tattoo
    Kimberly A.

    My experience was very positive - a lot like what others have said. I called earlier in the day to see if I could walk in for a consult or possibly get my tattoo and was told they should be able to accommodate. The person who I spoke with was much friendlier and more helpful than another place I called. When I arrived, I received a very friendly greeting and a great overview of the process. The shop is really nice, clean with an open concept which I appreciated. I showed the images and explained what I wanted, filled out paperwork and 15 minutes later was prepped and ready to go! Jess was great to work with and did a beautiful job, giving me exactly what I wanted and very helpful instruction as this was my first tattoo. The lines are perfect and are an exact match to the handwriting of my Mom and Dad (who are deceased) and my Husband. I am super happy with my decision to see Jess at Iron Lotus!

    Small fine line tattoo

    There was a great atmosphere in this shop. The people there were so kind and wanted to make sure that my tattoo was perfect before anything was started. I got a small tattoo and it only took about 20 minutes and was about $100 which isn't too bad for a good tattoo.

    My mom, sister, sister-in-law, and I went to get tattoos today at this awesome tattoo parlor! Our artist was Adrien and he was so great to work with, he listened to our ideas and made them into reality! The work was great and reasonably priced! We'll stop here for another tattoo anytime we're in Charleston!

    Happy little bumblebee

    I called ahead of time to see if it would be possible to walk in within a couple hours, and was told they should be able to accommodate (but made no promises). Walked in to a really nice, clean, open shop, was greeted right away by a friendly receptionist, airdropped a couple examples of what I wanted, filled out paperwork and 15 minutes later was prepped and ready to go! Jess did a great job, really clean (thin!) lines, and was able to get a lot of detail squeezed into a small tattoo. Super happy and excited to go back and get some additional pieces!

    Iron Lotus is exactly what other Yelpers described. Clean, professional.and a group of talented artitists., I brought in a scan of my dog's pawprint, told Austin I wanted watercolor but other than that I wanted him to do what he does: art. Austin killed it! I couldn't be happier. Beautiful work Austin, thank you.

    This is the shit Jocelyn can pull off

    Jocelyn is one of the best tattooers I have come across, and deff one of the coolest people on this planet. Shes jammed me in twice while I was in the area to work on my horror sleeve. I know have two fing amazing pieces thanks to her and soon will have her complete the sleeve. I am from NJ and I can honestly say I am more than willing to travel to her to finish my sleeve because she is just that freaking good. Great personality, willing to bullshit about anything literally just an all around perfect artist! Thanks Jocelyn I'll be seeing you soon!!!!!!!

    Overall I had a good experience here! The receptionist was really friendly and even helped me do a bit of research for a font for my tattoo. Adrien was very accommodating and took me as a last minute walk in close to closing time and put up with all of my pickiness and requests, exceededing my expectations! On top of that the other tattoo artists I talked to were really friendly and the shop was very clean with a cool but not intimidating atmosphere. Would recommend to a friend:) p.s. the words are not crooked, it's just the way the plastic wrap is pulling my skin!

    I recieved my very first tattoo here today. The place was very clean and the staff professional. I had Adrian who was very patient with me. I was terrified and he set me at ease. He did a great job and I would recommend him. Thank you!!

    Matching flashwork, one in color and one just blackwork

    Met with Adrien today for matching flash work for my husband and I. We picked a piece from the wall, and he actually ended up drawing us one that we both liked more! I chose black work, my husband got color. He was very welcoming and the shop is quite nice and open. He was happy to do our tattoos and they turned out wonderful. It was also very well priced for the size that we got! We've been jumping around a couple tattoo shops checking out artists and the Iron Lotus delivered. Looks like we found us a new shop!

    I wanna get a tattoo on my bottom I want two roses to cover up some minor scaring. Would that be possible to get here?

    Did you get it??

    We have three wanting to get tattoos can we walk in or should we call to make appts?

    It would depend on size and volume of the shop that day. Walk ins are always welcome.

    Five stars all around to Bob. This shop is a cool spot within a really tiny plaza. It's squeezed in…read morenext to Quickshot Indoor Gun Range, I didn't even realize it was there at first! It was a Saturday and I wanted a tiny tattoo just wording no graphic or shading. Very basic but I wanted the line to be really fine so it was definitely some precision line work. I went to another shop first that was booked up and they suggested Upper Hand Tattoo because Saturday is their walkins only day. We drove over around 4pm and waited about a half hour. They had I believe three artists working through the customers. Within the Russian tattoo artist roulette I was up next when Bob was available. I'd been admiring some of his US Navy themed tattoo sketches all along the walls so j was happy to get him! He looked over my idea and suggested a slightly different approach because we knew my idea wouldn't fit properly in the location I'd chosen. After some tweaking he came back to me with a new idea that I loved even more. Minutes later he had me paying the front desk girl (cash only friends) and I was ready. Pricing was reasonable too, exactly what I was expecting it to be. Once at his station he carefully laid out his tools and unwrapped the needles from their protective sealed wrappers right in front my eyes. Everything was very professional and he was also cool to talk to. He was really quick which I appreciated since it was on the inside of my wrist (ouch!) yet he was not too quick to make mistakes. It came out perfectly and I love it! I'll post a photo later

    I walked in to get a tattoo while visiting Charleston. The wait was a bit long but worth it! Kay…read moredid my tattoo and she listened to what my ideas were and i asked her to design with her talent as an artist and she did a wonderful job!!! She is very detailed and talented! My tattoo did not really hurt! Very surprising for my chest/upper arm shoulder area! Staff was very friendly! Place was clean and smelled good!
