    Ear lobe piercing
    kay d.

    Ear piercing was not very painful Pricing was good. People were nice very much grunge aesthetic. Only problem is they only take cash and the ATM has a 3 dollar surcharge

    I went in 5/21/22 and saw Ashton. This is my third piercing in the past 4 years. Two were done by Ashton, and one by Dez. This place is always clean and the staff always friendly! My piercings have been exactly what I want and how I want them. They make you feel comfortable, and don't just rush you through. Always answer my questions and never make me feel ignorant. Reasonable prices. Great responses to questions I've had through FB messenger. One of my appointments was scheduled, the other two were walkins. I recommend checking out their website, and swinging by for a piercing!

    The inspiration

    I never ever write reviews but my tattoo I got was terrible. It's not in the right spot and takes up half my arm. When I asked the artist to shrink it and move it his response was "it will make the fingers look unrealistic". I believe his name was James? Something with a J. Works in the very back.I was freshly 18 so ofc I didn't want to irritate the person who was gonna be stabbing me with a needle. But what really pisses me off is that the tattoo ended up having 6 fingers... the artist ignored what I wanted and did his own twist to the head part of the tattoo and it looks stupid. This was sometime in July 2022 I'm just now writing a review because looking at this just bothers me knowing this is on my body forever. Thankfully the artist who wears a hat I think he's bald and has the really cool room in the front was able to cover up the 6th finger. He was awesome and really nice did an amazing job on my sternum.

    My husband and I came from Augusta and I can truly say it was worth it, Jimmy did amazing!! We're definitely coming back. And the staff were all very very kind and took good precautions with covid.

    Walked in yesterday and they greeted me right away and made me feel comfortable and welcome! I waited for Mark and showed him my idea and he turned it into a masterpiece! I will definitely be coming back for more tats from him. The tattoo shop is super clean and everyone who works there is very friendly!

    my sister and i came to resurrection ink to get a very simple matching tattoo together. we went to the closest place to us because we figured that nobody could mess up a 4 number tattoo.. we were wrong. the lady tattooing us (pictured) was not very friendly and needed some work on her customer service, tattoos were 80$ each and both look horrible. mine looked good when she first finished (1st pic) but after it healed i realized that the thickness of each number is very different (last picture) and my sisters tattoo is crooked as well as her 8 is misshapen (not pictured). very dissatisfied and will have to go somewhere else to get it fixed

    Mark Simmons!

    It was an amazing experience! the prices were extremely reasonable. the artists and front desk guy were friendly and very helpful on helping decide exactly how to do my tattoo. my 3 friends and I all got a tattoo and even though we are from out of town we would definitely come back.

    Belly piercing

    Went in to get a belly piercing and I loved how it turned out. The woman who did my piercing was quick and it turned out perfectly! Very happy with my piercing. The price was also really good :)

    James was amazing! We were on a girls trip and spur of the moment decided we wanted tattoos. Shop…read moreis pretty cool with decor and James was thoughtful with what we wanted as far as placement and very fine line work. No squiggly lines here! Quick, fast and would highly recommend.

    You won't find a better tattoo artist in Savannah than James at Stranded Tattoo. His work is…read morephenomenal! He is a true artist and specializes in custom tattoos. Bring your ideas, sample images and imaginative concepts. This is not the kind of place that you pick a tattoo out of a book. SUPER CLEAN - the place is spotless and well decorated. Lots of original art on the walls, antique clocks, and old 19th century chairs for guests to sit in. Very classy! SUPER SANITARY - James is laser focused on maintaining a safe, sterile and sanitized environment. All tattoo needles are one time use, opened from sealed package and discarded. He goes through crazy number of supplies. New glove every time he has to answer the phone or touch something. He thoroughly washes down tattoo skin area with sanitizing solution. He provides detailed instructions on keeping tattoo clean as it is an open wound when you leave. SUPER ARTISTIC - James is focused on creating an image on your body that will look good in a decade. Many artist only focus on how it looks when you leave their shop. Ink diffuses over time into the fatty tissue. James will tell you if a small detail is too small and therefore the tattoo would need to be bigger or detail is not workable. He told me that all three of my tats needed to be bigger, and he was right. He also is good at understanding how people might interpret a tattoo differently than you intended. Give him your idea and you can be confident that he'll shape it into a design the will withstand time. He has always taken my concepts and worked them into a phenomenal design that was better than I could imagine on my own. HIGH STANDARDS - James is the owner and the tattoo artist. The last guy that worked with him made a comment that his standards were too high. James appreciated his honesty and told him to not come back. He highly respects the fact that he is applying permanent images on people's bodies. SPECIALIZES IN REPAIR - did you get a bad tattoo elsewhere? James is known for covering, fixing, correcting the mistakes that a lesser tattoo artist left on your body. TIPS - All meetings are by appointment. You might walk in and be lucky to catch him available for a consult, but best to call and schedule time. - Expect at least one consultation, if not two, before you schedule a tattoo. Since this is custom work, you need to discuss the job with James, and if complicated enough, you'll have a second consultation to see his proposed sketch of the tattoo for review before he creates the final tattoo template. - Think of meeting James as meeting up with a friend. This isn't a strictly-timed business appointment. He works by himself and has to fetch supplies, he gets stuck in traffic, and he answers phone calls...just like you. You might arrive at the shop before James does for your scheduled appointment. That's ok. - James will turn down jobs that he doesn't want to be associated with. For example, during my first tattoo, someone came in asking to get a My Little Pony musical note on their rear. James said no. Another guy wanted a design with a boy below the underwear line and James said no. The latter tattoo was well intentioned but James refused on basis for how it could be interpreted. - Heavy Metal - if you like it, then you are aligned with James's music taste. If you don't like it, then learn to appreciate it since you'll be hearing it for hours upon hours during your tattoo. - Illegal to drink before getting a tattoo. Don't do it. If James can tell you are under the influence then he probably will not be able to give you a tattoo that day. - Illegal to bring kids inside the tattoo shop. I believe you need to be 18, but double check if you have need to bring in someone younger.
