Sadly I had a bad time at this tattoo shop while getting a belly piercing. I was excited about…read moregetting my belly done , I was nervous and didn't even notice the piercer didnt clean off the area and just marked me with out letting me see nor used any tool to make sure it was center. I'm mostly upset because when I left the ball came off so the next day I had to go back to get it corrected. I explained what happened and he didn't say much and didn't give me a warning to what he was about to do. it hurt of course and I almost grabbed him because it was just unexpected. A sadly $40 was wasted but I'm upset that I dont want to go there anymore. really loved the place from my other piercings but the quilts just wasn't the same .

(reviewing for a friend btw)…read more first lemme just say that the customer service was wonderful and that everyone was very friendly. however .. there was very little information given to my friend after her ear was pierced. not only was she given very few aftercare instructions, but she was also not asked if she was allergic to any kind of metals to ensure that she wouldn't have a bad reaction. she's allergic to stainless steel, and not even a week after she was pierced (with a hoop btw, which isn't the best earring for a fresh piercing) her ear started to get infected. inflammation so bad that her ear looked purple, swollen to double the size of her other ear (which hadn't been pierced), leaking puss. it was bad tbh .. :/ i helped my friend cut the earring out by the clasp with a pair of pliers and a whole lot of girlbossing.

Fast and friendly service with great prices!…read more I came in as a walk in to get a tattoo on my forearm and was quickly greeted by the front desk employee and tattoo artist, Oso. The shop was clean and BONUS they have dogs!!!! The process was very quick and precise. Oso was also very friendly and held fun conversations with me and my brother! I love my tattoo! Would come back again! Thanks Oso!!

My best friend and I received matching tattoos here a couple of years ago before I was a Yelper!…read more Studio 42 is a unique little tattoo and piercing shop located in Memphis. The artists there are awesome! I've personally only been tattooed by Garrett but everyone else's work looks amazing as well. Everyone was super welcoming and we were in and out with tattoos we loved! Pro tip: the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the parking lot is small, poorly lit, and pretty sketchy after dark. Bring a friend with you if you're skittish!

Consulted with Vanessa about a cover up. I had an idea in mind, she was super up front about what…read moreshe could do versus what I wanted. We discussed a few different things and she drew up a concept for Yggdrasil (World Tree). I've had other tattoo artist and shop workers comment about how good the cover up is and I was super happy with it. Will 100% go back for another tattoo from her. She is pretty direct, which may not be some people's vibe, but that was something I looked for when I consulted, which lead me to trust her pretty quick.

Underground Art is the best tattoo studio experience I have ever had and I have over 25 tattoos!…read moreThe artists are talented, kind, communicate well and make sure you have everything you need to have a great experience. They also make getting tattooed financially accessible by offering payment plans, which is super helpful! What other tattoo shops do that!? I don't know a single one. They really go out of their way to create a space that feels safe for the diversity of people who get tattoos and that is truly a gift to find in a business, let alone a tattoo shop. I make it a point to always get a tattoo when I come through Memphis from Underground Art. I cannot recommend them enough!

Great place! My…read morehusband and I came in for "date night tattoos" one night and managed to get both of our tattoos done the same day. My husband worked with Mike who does lovely line and shading work and I worked with Brent who was wonderful and did exactly what I wanted. Neither my husband or myself could be any happier with our decision to choose Inked Memphis as our tattoo shop while we live in Memphis. I can't speak for my husband, but Brent had a very light hand and I didn't feed my upper back and shoulder tattoo hardly at all. He was very polite and understanding. I absolutely love my newest addition to my tattoo collection. Thanks Mike and Brent! We will be seeing you guys again soon!

Really easy to find as I am familiar with the area. Prices were very reasonable. Immediately greeted upon entering and she started the digital checking process. The space was tidy and clean. Less than 5min later we moved to the back for her session. Jacie was amazing with my friend for her first time. She ensured she was comfortable throughout the session. Another friend, then decided she wanted a second ear piercing and Jacie handled that as well. They both recieved aftercare instructions as were pleased with service.

My only complaint is that the lines of my…read moretattoo were different widths and a bit wavy, that may be because of the artist, not the parlors fault.

Went in for a small tattoo and was quoted almost $200. I asked why this was the case and they said…read more"It will take about 2 hours and we charge an hourly rate." The piece took just under an hour total and while I'm happy with the tattoo, I was told the same price. I asked if the fact it took half the time changed the price and they said no. I wouldn't have minded paying for two hours worth of service if I received that. I know people who have gotten similar size pieces that were more detailed for the normal $100/hr rate. If you're looking to get a piercing the service is good and fair, I (and several others I know) have had good experiences with their piercers.

Updating my positive review from the day after getting my tragus, but it became incredibly…read moreinfected. None of my other piercings have ever been infected before. I held off on changing my review to a negative one until hearing a friend tell me that she came in with a design, had the artist make a suggestion that she declined, and then he CONTINUED ON WITH HIS CHANGE SHE DID NOT WANT TO HAVE PERMANENTLY PUT ON HER BODY, saying he would, "rather ask forgiveness than permission," on a permanent piece of art she paid money for. Due to placement, she was unable to look at the tattoo while in progress, but who would feel the need to panic and continually look at a tattoo after agreeing on a stencil in the first place? Don't risk tattoos or piercings here, whether it's for safety purposes or basic decency of being able to consent to what permanent change you're putting on yourself.

Extremely disappointing experience, especially considering how patient and supportive I have been…read moreas a customer. Over the past three months, Hannah cancelled or rescheduled my tattoo appointments numerous times. I continued giving her the benefit of the doubt because I genuinely think she is a talented artist. I was finally able to get one of my tattoos finished, and the work itself was awesome. Unfortunately, talent does not make up for repeatedly cancelling on a customer and then ignoring them when there is money involved. I have a deposit for additional work that I now want refunded because I simply cannot continue rearranging my schedule around appointments that may or may not happen. I attempted to contact Hannah directly and received no response. I then reached out to the shop, explained the entire situation professionally, and asked for assistance getting my deposit returned. My message was read and completely ignored. That is what pushed me to leave this review. I have been more than fair as a customer. On my first tattoo, I actually paid Hannah $300 MORE than the price we originally agreed upon because the tattoo took longer than expected. I respected her time and compensated her accordingly. Apparently, that same level of respect does not extend to my time or my money. Artists occasionally have to cancel appointments. Life happens, and I understand that. But numerous cancellations over a three-month period, followed by ignoring a customer who is simply asking for his deposit back, is unacceptable customer service. The most frustrating part is that this situation was completely avoidable. A simple response and a refund of my deposit would have resolved everything professionally. Instead, both my direct attempts to contact Hannah and my message to the shop have gone unanswered. Hannah is a talented tattoo artist, but based on my experience, reliability, communication, and customer service have been extremely poor. I cannot recommend doing business with a shop that will read a legitimate customer complaint involving money and choose not to even respond.
