They knew it was all our first tattoos, but no one told us about ointment or washing (and NOT washing) the area. I just figured they would want the best to come out of our tattoos, and I felt like that information is very important to the care of a tattoo. But it really is an amazing shop with passionate employees. I do recommend them.

I absolutely love and relish the days that I get to go to Athens and see Radar for a new tattoo. I…read moream definitely a repeat customer and so is my boyfriend. Most of his extensive work has been done by Radar. The shop is nice and clean, the staff and artists friendly and funny. All of the artists are great, but Radar is the one I go to and he is fantastic. I wasn't completely sure on the layout for my most recent tattoo, so I sent him several reference pictures and what he put together was better than I could have hoped for. His line work is gorgeous and incredibly detailed. He is also quick and efficient, unlike other artists I have had. He finished the line work for my half sleeve in close to two hours. I am proud to call myself a repeat customer and hope to visit this shop many, many more times in the future.

Try somewhere else! I went in to the shop looking to get a rose and my mom's birthday. Jeff, the…read moreartist, immediately said no to the flower cause it didn't look good to him. He then preceded to draw his own rose that wasn't close to what I wanted tattooed on my body. I ended up getting only my mom's birthday on my ankle. The only reason this wasn't a one star was because the tattoo came out good. Also, he had me Venmo his personal account after which I found very weird and kinda sketch from a business standpoint. If you have a tattoo in mind that you really want to get, don't go here. They will probably belittle your idea and just do what they want with the tattoo. Instead of wasting your time here, the 3 Ravens tattoo shop has great, professional artists that are more than willing to work with you on a tattoo! And much better customer service :)

I can't say enough good things about my experience at Chico Lou's. The shop itself is exactly what…read moreyou should expect - has a killer vibe, super clean, and just the right mix of music filling the space. The staff is super friendly, all with a great sense of humor, and they all have a great connection with each other that really makes you feel welcome. Veronica Hahn is a total badass. She took my idea and made the most beautiful piece that I will cherish forever. It was a 20+ year old cover-up that she simply wasn't fazed by, and worked around easily. She talked through her idea and sketch, and was amazing to work with all of the details. I'd been following her work on social and had been on her waiting list, so I knew she would create something great. But, she has a confidence in her process that really sets your mind at ease and you just inherently trust her eye and expertise. Watching her create this piece on my leg was amazing - so fluid and natural, with this amazing eye for shading and contours in blackwork. I'm so grateful for her and this tattoo. Veronica and Sara share a room to work in, and the 10+ year relationship between them was a blast to see. The stories, the jokes and just the friendship between them made the time fly by. Love Chico Lou's and can't wait for my next piece with them!

First I would like to say this was my first tattoo so I was already nervous about EVERYTHING. I…read moretried going to another tattoo place the week before in downtown Athens and I didn't get the best service and was brushed off by the staff and tattoo artists. While randomly searching places on Google I stumbled upon ink9. It didn't have as many reviews as the other places in downtown Athens but I saw Threat's artwork and I was blown away and decided to call them up. STAR #1 FOR GOOD WORK DONE I called to see if I could get a tattoo that evening because it said they were going to close in about an hour and the lady that picked up the phone verified that the tattoo artist that I saw on ig "threat" would be there when I arrived. That to me is a bonus because the last place I walked into said no they were about to close in an hour and no one wanted to tattoo me. STAR #2 FOR BEING PROFESSIONAL When I arrived the lady greeted me and asked if I just called and introduced me to threat. He was super kind, super patient, and walked me through what kind of tattoo he could draw for me. Amazingly he spent about 30-45 mins going working with me and editing the tattoo to make sure it was to my liking. At that point, I thought he was going to send me home and tell me to come back the next day because it was about time to close, WRONG. He said Ok let's get it done. I was amazed that it was the complete opposite answer of what I expected and opposite of what I experienced at the previous place. STAR#3 FOR STAYING LATE TO CUSTOMIZE/DRAW MY TATTOO Prior to getting the tattoo threat loaned me a charger, made sure I felt comfortable, and made sure I was relaxed. The tattoo took about an hour so now it's more then an hour after he was supposed to close and he never rushed during or even after the tattoo. THE TATTOO LOOKED GREAT! He explained to me what to do when I took the plastic/tape off and I paid him. He gave me his card and told me to call him if I needed anything or had any questions. STAR#4 FOR AMAZING WORK! Now I know everyone always says to call if there's a problem but they don't really mean it. I started seeing a Lil smudging on tattoo even though I didn't touch it and It was alarming so I contacted threat on ig and he replied and reassured me that it was plasma and it was part of the healing process Honestly, It takes alot for me to want to give 5 stars but I'm impressed.
