Rik is AWESOME! Very knowledgeable and does quality work! I have had several pieces done by him.

Jason Ponce rocks! I was in Nashville for Stephen Wilson Jr shows at the Ryman. I got lucky ... and Stephen Wilson Jr signed my arm. I was hoping to get it tattooed before I left town. A friend recommended Jason. I contacted him, explained my situation. He was replying to me after midnight via Messenger and came into work early the next day to fit me in. He did a phenomenal job (and played my favorite music while he worked.). I just love the tattoo and I had the most fun just talking with Jason. He is so personable and has so many great stories. HIGHLY, highly recommend him. read more

A couple months ago I went to get my first tattoo. I chose Lone Wolf based on a review I saw on FaceBook. I am glad I chose them as they were very friendly from day one. I went there with an idea of what I wanted and where. The people at the front desk pointed me towards Bear. Bear was the best! I showed him what I wanted and he took my idea and made it better. He was great to communicate with and was very personable. He has been doing tattoos for 30 years and it showed. When I showed up for my appointment he had all drawn up and let me know what his thoughts were. He took my Celtic knot and made it classic looking better than I could have imagined! Thank you Bear for the great work and I would highly recommend Lone Wolf! read more

This was my first tattoo and Jason Ponce did not disappoint. It was a full day with great conversation in a great setting. Jason is personable and super talented. He took my vision of a tattoo honoring my dad's military service and brought it to life better than I could have ever expected. Pic posted is right after completion so the redness is still there. The detail is stunning and I am thrilled with the results! Thanks Jason - my Dad would be proud! read more

Lone Wolf Tattoo - This is for my sister. - Tattoo Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

I'm from out of town visiting my parents. My mom & I have been talking about getting mother/daughter tattoos for a while. Jason did an amazing job on our daisy tattoos. He put my nervous mom at ease, and had her laughing the whole time. He also did a moon in honor of my niece who was murdered two years ago. Ash did a piercing for me last minute and did a great job on it too. The shop was clean, everyone was nice, and the atmosphere was fun. I look forward to having Jason do a few more tattoos for me in the future. Can't say enough good things about the whole experience. read more

Got my nose and belly pierced here. Love the energy and they made everything so quick and painless

I went in for a cover-up of a tattoo that was almost 30 years old. I was told to ask for Rik Sweeney as he was the best for coverups. There is no doubt in my mind about that after seeing the work he did. read more

I have been itching for a new tattoo for awhile but have had to hold back because of different things happening in my life. I decided this year for my birthday I wanted to finally get my new tattoo to help build my horror/thriller movie arm up some more. I chose to go to Lone Wolf this time around. When I went the artist was with someone so they said they would call me and either schedule an appointment or see if he could get me in. They called asap and said he wouldn't finish in time and apologized and we scheduled for the following week. I got Colby as my artist, he was awesome. He did an amazing job and he was a very chill dude. Would definitely recommend this shop, they are highly well regarded in the field and do a great job. Thank you Colby and Lone Wolf. read more

I love Lone Wolf! Followed them from their previous location. Would not go anywhere else. I don't feel rushed even when just picking a font or size.

Amazing experience, amazing artist, deliriously happy with our ink!! Xoxoxo read more

I got my belly button pierced here a while back.. It was like 40ish bucks for everything, plus tip. The piercing area was in the middle of the shop out in the open.. it was literally RIGHT in front of the door. I had to take my pants off right in front of everyone and I was super uncomfortable. I was given a sheet to cover up with but I felt so exposed! It was obvious to that the piercer (can't remember her name) didn't know what she was doing. When she told me to check the placement with the marker dots, everything looked good. It was straight and lined up correctly, but I had no idea how far up or down it was supposed to be.. that's the piercers job. I found out later (after it screwed me up) that the depth and placement (too far up) was completely wrong. The place wasn't super clean either. After getting pierced, the jewel fell out of the jewelry within a few days and it was as so cheap that it started getting infected almost immediately. By day 5, even after cleaning it exactly like they recommend, my stomach was so swollen and red and it was SO painful. When I decided I couldn't take it anymore, I couldn't even freakin remove it. It was horribly. My stomach was like swallowing the piercing.. it was as like pulling the piercing inside me. It created something similar to craters (indents) in my skin where both the bottom ball and the top jewel was. I went back to get it removed less than a full week after getting it done (Day 6) and the swelling was so bad that when she finally removed it,(which was excruciating fyi) the jewelry had done enough damage to where I still have 2 scars a year later. The girl that removed it (different from the girl that pierced it) told me she was sorry and I could come back and get it done again for free after it healed, but there was no way in hell I would've gone back. The same day I got my piercing, I also got a tattoo. I like it and looks pretty great, but I feel like I was overcharged. He charged me $280 for a full 2 1/2 hours of work, but it didn't even need that long. It would've only taken 2 hours tops, but he took like 3 breaks throughout the process which was overkill and unnecessary in my opinion. I am only giving 2 starts because I was happy with the quality of my tattoo. read more

Shelby is an amazing piercer would highly recommend her if you go 10/10, building is super cool too

I went to Lone Wolf today to get my nose pierced and everyone was extremely nice! we were in and out very quickly. Shelby was my piercer and she was very nice ane helpful. read more

I am over the moon happy about my experience I had yesterday!! Me and a friend had a 12:30 appt, and we were taken back as soon as we got there. The staff was friendly and very thorough in explaining their procedures during Covid. I got my industrial redone, and I loved that Mia, our piercer, took the time to explain how she felt about redoing it and explaining each step while doing so. My friend got her belly button pierced and I was SO surprised to see how careful Mia was in making sure it was straight and would lay exactly where it needed to be. The aftercare was explained and we even got tips to help reduce swelling. I have had bad experiences in the past when getting piercings, but Lone Wolf changed my perspective on it. They will always be my go to and the top place I recommend! read more

I have been to a couple tattoo places in Nashville, but this was by far my favorite. 4 of my friends and I were walk ins. We found this place online and decided to go. Jason decided to take us on, even though there were so many of us. It was an awesome experience! Clean and professional. All of our tattoos turned out exactly how we wanted them. Jason had a light hand and was also fun and hilarious, we had a great time! You should come here if you are looking to get tatted, as we will be back in the future! read more

This place is a cool concept being a store within an old theater-scary movie memorabilia all over right when you walk in (and they still play old movies there!) Danny did an awesome job on all 5 of my tattoos I got at Lone Wolf this past summer! I'll be back a third time for more! read more

Took my son here to get his nose pierced. The place was very clean and sterile. I will be back in 2 weeks for my tattoo..

I got a tattoo in honor of my mom Pam Passmore and her boyfriend Bob Mardres. They died in a motorcycle accident on April 23, 2016. This was the best experience I've ever had at a shop!! The staff was amazing, they were very clean and organized. Thank you Forrest for taking care of my husband and I. We will be back! read more

Will Bledsoe at Lone Wolf did my first (and only so far) tattoo a couple of years ago. The colors are just as vibrant as ever and I get complimented almost every time it is visible (it's on my shoulder blade, so it doesn't get seen much in the cooler months). I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, but it could not have been a more positive experience. Didn't really hurt and it healed beautifully. I followed the artist's instructions carefully and experienced no scabbing. I will definitely be seeing Mr. Bledsoe for more ink in the next year. Lone Wolf moved down the street to 1907 Broadway a few years ago. read more

Love this place! My tattoo dude is Daniel Bostic!!!! but good vibes from all. Colby is cool AF! And Mia has done a couple piercings for me and is super professional. I know there are others that have been there a long while and the owners are nice. There is a theater attached which is totally rad. I can't wait to get back in soon. I wish I could just hang out here even when I'm not getting tattoos but that'd be kinda awkward huh? read more

They pierced my nose with a stud that was too big and it fell out the next day. They told me I had to pay full price to have it pierced again - I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR PIERCINGS!!!!!!! read more

Wow. I had an amazing experience there today. I walked to get my nose pierced and was instantly happy because the building is the old movie theater that I spent much of my childhood in. They have done a great job of keeping the style of the theater while turning it into an amazing tattoo shop. I then met Forrest. He pierced my nose and was professional, intelligent, nice, calming, and informative. I will never go to anyone else. Thank you Forrest and Lone Wolf!! read more

So I'm in Mt Juliet to visit my mom and she wanted to get her first tattoo. We had been planning this for a couple weeks. I promised if she actually went through with it I'd get a new one too. We'll she did and I got my new ink fix to hold me over until I save up for one I really really want. Awesome shop with amazing artists. Forrest did mine and I'm a happy camper, was just a quick and simple job but he treated it like he was doing something very intricate. The focus he has and attention to detail is amazing. If I lived closer I'd have a lot more tattoos. My mom is also very happy with hers as well. I can't remember her artists name off the top of my head, sorry, but thank you to him nonetheless. I might have to get more work done next time I'm in town even though my wife won't like it lol. read more

My sister heard about Lone Wolf from a friend, and she and I decided to go here for our first tattoos. Forrest did both of ours, and he was amazing. I was really nervous about the pain and the whole thing in general, but he was really calming, patient, and just the right amount of talkative. He did a great job - we're both so happy! Thanks, Forrest! read more

Literally the worst customer service ever. We entered and the lady was already stressed out. She was exhaling very hard and making everything difficult. I felt beyond uncomfortable and unwanted. You would think in a time like this people would be nicer. But that was exactly the opposite. She gave my mom and aunt an attitude when they were simply asking questions and trying to understand the policies better. Will never return and will never recommend. Terrible place & terrible people. Disgusting how these people acted. I didnt even get my piercing even though i booked it an entire week in advance. read more

Great place! This is where I got my most recent and first color tattoo. Teddy Monstar did my tattoo back in June of 2013 and did a great job. Very professional even though I'm sure I made the experience a little difficult with all of my fidgeting. I still have his business card even though I've moved so much between 2013 and now. Awesome shop with great artists. read more

i have been to lone wolf many times for a various of things. piercing, tattoos, taking out piercing other companies have done. lone wolf has the nicest staff working there i've ever seen at a tattoo place. i recently just got my first tattoo there and i can say i absolutely love it. they have been open to answering any questions or concerns i have about the tattoo! if you are wanting a professional, nice, caring place to go-then go to lone wolf. you won't regret it! read more

we came in last minute for a piercing and we were lucky enough to get Sarah, who not only stayed for us, but was incredible. she made it as painless as possible and talked me through the kind of jewelry I could buy for it and all the aftercare instructions. definitely recommend her for anyone getting pierced! read more

My wife & I both have been going to Ben and Lone Wolf Tattoo for a long time now. This is one of the best spots around. Very clean, they keep it professional and I've never had any issues with anyone there or their work. Anytime someone asks me where to get a tattoo I always reply with this spot. I don't know what to compare it to as I've never been anywhere else. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The best part is they turned the old run down theatre in Hermitage into their spot. There's also a haunted house that's in the same building and it's pretty damn decent. Slaughter House. Where else can you go get a new piercing or tattoo and go through a haunted house. All without having to leave the building. A damn genius of an idea. The old theatre sat unused for years, im glad someone took a chance on it rather than letting it be bulldozed and replaced with a restaurant or cash advance business. We got plenty of those. Anyways, if you've never been to Lone Wolf you need to go check em out. You will not be disappointed. Thanks! TnT read more

one dog was the worst tattoo experience i have ever had in my life. The extremely rude person at the front desk was at best a self centered know it all.I collect Tattoos from around the world,for many years.I have never been so insulted ,or treated like my time was worth nothing.I was asking wether i could get tattooed by one of thier artists,and was told that i would need an appt.and have to wait 2 months. I think his name was Jason something ......but the reason my review is poor is i called ahead and was told on the phone i could get Tattooed that day.when i asked for the owner to lodge a complaint I was told to leave. I had planned on spending over $1000.00 that day on new ink.Im in the music Industry and will spread the word to all my musician friends to steer clear of this misguided establishment.Tattoos are about trusting in the artist shop, Lies ,and deciept are what you get at this place,then when you call them on it they kick you out. read more
