Unfortunately, I can't say the same about my experience with the tattoo itself. I do not recommend Tim Peterson. A friend and I came in for matching tattoos. Her design ended up being slightly larger than mine, but they were otherwise very similar. The quality of our tattoos, however, looks like they were done by two completely different artists--even though Tim did both. Within 3-4 days, I noticed part of my tattoo already looked faded and unfinished. I waited nearly a month before reaching out because I wanted to give it time to heal. When I contacted Tim, I told him I loved the design but felt part of it looked incomplete. He did not dispute my concerns when I showed him a photo of how the tattoo looked after nearly a month of healing and simply told me to come back so he could fix it. The problem is that I live over 4.5 hours from Nashville. Coming back isn't as simple as making a quick trip--I have to take time off work, drive several hours, and pay for a hotel. Despite staying in contact and trying to plan multiple trips, Tim never once mentioned there was a six-month deadline for complimentary touch-ups. It wasn't until I reached out recently about pricing for a friend who wanted a tattoo during an upcoming girls' trip that he mentioned his hourly rate is now $200. I then asked whether I'd have to pay to have my original tattoo fixed. That's when he informed me that because it had been over six months, a small touch-up would cost $100. Had I been told from the beginning that there was a six-month limit, I would have done everything possible to make it back sooner. But that was never communicated. This wasn't a tattoo that faded from age or sun exposure--it looked unfinished from the start. I assumed an artist would stand behind work that needed correction due to the original application, regardless of when I was able to return. His response was: "I'm not sure if you were under the impression you had unlimited time for a touch up. But unfortunately we can't offer that. If you were unhappy with the tattoo from the beginning I'd hate to solidify the unliked design further for you, and you may want to seek out another artist that works for you." Instead of standing behind his work, he suggested I find another artist to fix a tattoo he acknowledged needed to be touched up. That response was incredibly disappointing. I have several tattoos, and this is the first time I've encountered an artist who wasn't willing to stand behind the quality of their work. My issue isn't simply the touch-up fee--it's the lack of communication about the policy and the unwillingness to take responsibility for a tattoo that appeared incomplete from the beginning. If you're looking for an artist who stands behind their work and clearly communicates expectations, then do not book an appointment with Tim. I'm sharing this so future clients can make an informed decision before trusting someone to permanently tattoo their body. In my experience, I was left with work that appeared incomplete from the beginning and was then expected to either accept it if I couldn't return within six months (and was never originally told this time frame) or pay an additional $100 to have the original work corrected.

Until today, she's never so much as walked into a tattoo studio, and neither have I. I didn't think she'd even be able to go through with it, but she kept saying all the way there that she was "turnt". I won't even pretend that I'm young and hip enough to understand that language, but I think she meant that she was excited. Leighton was her tattoo artist, and he was great at talking with us and asking her if she was ok during the process, and giving her specific instructions on aftercare for the next 5-7 days. He also gave her the ointment to use on it. Winner winner, chicken dinner! Right?!! Not to mention that my daughter left with a realistic, detailed bee, and it was EXACTLY what she wanted. Thanks be to Leighton, the man was phenomenal. The studio is extremely clean...even the bathroom. Everyone that worked there was very friendly, and I was glad I got to meet Roly. He's the owner, and has tattooed my sister-in-law and completely changed my view of tattoos. His work is like amazing 3-D art. One of these days I just might get the guts to go get a tat myself!!

I paid for a tattoo, that needed a touch up, it looked bad and I wanted to get it touched up. They wouldn't answer my phone call so I called off my husbands phone and they told me ,"None of the artist want todo work on you anymore because of your behavior." I am SO confused.. they told me I have came in there intoxicated several times and my behavior was bad in there. Ok so, I would understand IF that was true, but I have NEVER done that... I've always been very respectful, kind, and considerate. It's hurt my feelings because someone has obviously started a rumor that's not true, but I am not that type of person. I am very disappointed by the way this was handled. Now I'm stuck with a shitty tattoo that I paid for, and I was supposed to receive a touch up on. Now they won't even fix it. VERY immature and sad that this is how a business does their business. I do not recommend going there at all. They also talk about customers behind their backs. Especially when walk ins come in and they leave, they make fun of them to their customers when they leave.
