    Just peachy
    Kayleigh E.

    My best friend and I came to visit Savannah and was able to make a last minute appointment at this shop. They were so accommodating and helpful. Chelsea was AMAZING. We did very simple tattoos but she is so talented. The shop was very aesthetically pleasing and just a straight up good vibe. Would highly recommend!

    *Out of state review* Riverside tattoo parlor was so accommodating and have great artists working there. We were in town for bachelorette party and wanted impromptu tattoos. The shop worked with us and our time frame. Also, was very clean and organized.

    Beautiful job by Chelsea on the owl which was an original ink & watercolor done by a local Charleston artist.

    Riverside & Chelsea were recommended by a local Savannian I met during my 4-month stay. The staff are so great and they were able to get me scheduled by the end of my tour! It's been a little more than a month and I can't imagine this tattoo being any better.

    Badass women owned shop with an great atmosphere! Their new shop on Bull is every modern young persons dream space! I've been living in Savannah for three years but have been hesitant to get any new work because of a bad experience I had the only other time i went to a different artist then the guy who did my first few. However, when the itch came for a new piece in the middle of a pandemic I figured it was time to try someone new again as opposed to traveling 1,344 miles. I booked a Sunday flash appointment with Lydia who has so many amazing flash pieces! This is also a great way to get in with her since they are currently book CONSULTANTIONS almost a month in advance. I had a great experience from the moment I walked in! Lydia was so sweet and did an amazing job, you can really tell how much she cares about her work!

    What a place to get your first tattoo! This female own and run tattoo parlor was the place for me. My best friend had already had a wonderful experience here, so we went back for more! We will definitely be back, yet again! Lauren was incredible. She not only brought our ideas to life, but made us feel comfortable contributing and making changes/suggestions to what she had created for us!

    Absolutely amazing team! This was my first tattoo and I couldn't be more thankful for how much effort the Riverside Tattoo Team put in to take care of me. I loved the sh communication, cleanliness, scheduling flexibility and overall customer service. Highly recommend! I called in to schedule my initial consultation and they were extremely flexible with their availability to see an artist. Their Instagram account and website were helpful to see the different styles of each artist, which helped narrow down my vision for the tattoo. I went in with a simple idea and came out with so many options. I thought it was so cool how they took a picture of my arm (where I wanted the tattoo) on their iPad and sketched the tattoo out to help me better visualize the full concept. Hilliary told me how she spends hours coming up with intricate options for her customers to make sure she meets their vision. She went above and beyond.

    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.
