Consulted with Vanessa about a cover up. I had an idea in mind, she was super up front about what she 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. read more

Underground Art is the best tattoo studio experience I have ever had and I have over 25 tattoos! The 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! read more

The appointments I've made for friends and family were awesome , they treated them like family and listened to every detail of there artwork they envisioned having on there bodies, and underground art came thru every dam time ty guys read more

I like the atmosphere there. Really cool shop. The people are cool. But the price is truly ridiculous. The first time I went , I was quoted about $85 for a tattoo that took MAYBE 30 minutes. When it was done they charged $120. The second time i went I paid $400 for an hour and a half tattoo that I thought was going to take 2-3 hours. And I wasn't even given the tattoo details we agreed on. Don't get me wrong I love the tattoos. But I'd rather drive to my guy in Tulsa OK that charges by the hour and does incredible work than pay their prices at this shop. read more

Great service!!! Quintin is such a sweetheart. He is super helpful and knows his stuff! Very hospitable and does what he can to make you comfortable while you wait.

Though this shop is a little off the grid, I think it is A++++. Jason is the best artist. I was able to schedule an appointment that was super convenient for me. Pricing was perfect. I love my tattoos. If you're looking for a great artist, go see Jason at Underground Art! read more

Vanessa did my first tattoo today and I could not be happier. Probably the cleanest building I've been in during all of covid, felt very safe. Great experience will be back for my second!! read more

I went in to Underground Arts to get a tattoo fixed and add a name to it. I have had this tattoo for about 4 years that I got at a place in Horn Lake that I have never been happy with even though they had tried to fix it 3 times. ALLISON IS SPECTACULAR!!! She took her time in helping redesign a tattoo and explained what she would need to do to cover the old one that you could not read. I am very pleased with my new tattoo!!! She did an awesome job. I highly recommend this place and Allison!!! I will not go any where else for my tattoos!! read more

Great experience, great people! Very nice and we're eager to give me a tattoo I loved!

Generally confused. I called ahead and asked if I could get my second lobe redone and get an anti tragus. Initially I was told yes, but then I was called back a little while later and told they couldn't do the anti tragus. That's fine, I wouldn't want somebody trying to do something they can't. The trouble comes with my actual appointment. I don't know what happened. I was a little later than I'd wanted to be and I had an awful time trying to find parking, so I didn't get to call them to let them know I was ready for the digital consent form like I was asked until basically right at my appointment time. Nobody answered, so I texted instead, which I was told was also an option. Nothing happened. I waited for about twenty minutes and didn't hear anything back. I saw three cars in front of the building, and I assume they belonged to the people working there. I even double checked the date and time because I was having doubts, everything was correct. So...I'm just really confused as to what happened there. I'm giving two stars instead of one because I know somebody who had some tattoos and piercings done here and all of them looked really good. I picked this place over others because of that, plus the fact there's people working there who use they/them pronouns like I do. I'm actually really sad it didn't work out :( read more

A most unusual and awesome tattoo experience! I'd never been to nor seen a shop that was actually a house but they certainly make you feel right at home! From the initial phone conversation with Chloe to the welcome from Amy to meeting and working with Jason, it was easy to see why this shop is so highly regarded. Jason did an amazing job and was great to work with. If you want ink done in Memphis, I can't imagine anyone could find a better place! read more

Underground Art - Tattoo Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Underground Art is hands down the best tattoo shop in the Memphis area. The staff are all very friendly, open-minded, and community oriented. They have the best artists in Memphis, period. Other shops have questionable reputations and their work fluctuates in quality - Underground is the only one to pump out consistently good work. They make you feel like family in their shop. Prices are reasonable, as well. Highly recommend! read more

So I decided to go get an old English D tattooed on my right shoulder. After a lot of searching on the Internet and reading reviews I decided to check out Underground Art.I called first to see if they take walk-ins. The young lady answered the phone was professional and very nice actually put me on the phone with an available artist. After finding out that he was available I went down to the location. Jason Jason came out and greeted me. Asked me what I wanted again and I emailed the picture. We discussed price and got down to business. Jason was definitely polite, courteous as well as professional. Could not be more pleased with my tattoo. Nice clean lines and coloring. I just found my new tattoo artist. Definitely recommend Jason! read more

Underground Art - my second tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Got my first tattoo here last week and Alison did a wonderful job. I am pleased with the business and definitely the work. I recommend anyone who is seeking out a piercing or tattoo etc to go here! read more

Went in today to get some work done and the staff was very friendly . Jason did my tattoo and he was awesome! Everything was clean and all around great atmosphere. I was very satisfied with my visit. read more

I took my daughter to have her ears pierced. Sarah was an absolute joy. We couldn't be more pleased.

This shop is so wonderful. The entire staff is kind, friendly, and professional. I've gotten two tattoos from Sarah and both are everything I could have asked for. The prices are very fair in my opinion and everyone does great work. All of the artists are very diligent in keeping everything sanitary. I can't wait until I go back for my next bit of ink! read more

I actually didn't even get a tattoo here. I'm giving them this rating because I came in a couple of weeks ago to get a very small tattoo the day I was supposed to leave from vacation in Memphis and they were so incredibly nice to me. They had no walk-in availability, but they recommended other tattoo shops (which is UNHEARD OF in the tattoo community). I just wanted to thank them for being so kind. I ended up finding a shop to get tattooed and I probably wouldn't have found it if it weren't for them. Thank you SO much for being sweet souls. I'm hoping to actually get inked here next time. I'll call and make an appointment first. read more

Got a spur of the moment tattoo. Nothing special. Just wish the artist took a little more time and attention to the area and my anatomy. The tattoo is good just wished it was more tailored to my body and placement. read more

Although all the staff at Underground are super friendly, Sarah is who I've had the most work done by. She has done small and large tattoos for me and many of my friends for years now. I would recommend anyone to her. Not only does she do great work, but she is sweet, funny, and is someone who I can spend time with for hours (and have for some of my tattoos). They have recently added a rewards program that discounts future tattoos or piercings, which is a great bonus for regular clients. I would recommend them to anyone I know. read more

Great people doing great things! This is my go to place for any tattoos or piercings in Memphis.

I walked in looking for a certain type of jewelry that wasn't available but I did walk out with a new daith piercing. No appointment necessary and the lady that handled my piercing was super easy to talk to and very quick at her job. The staff was professional, polite, and just really cool. Can't wait till I can schedule a tattoo appointment as well. read more

Everyone at the shop is so friendly and helpful! All the artists that I've gotten to know have been so knowledgeable and unbelievably creative. David is a genius! If you want a really beautiful piece of art that you can be proud of, go to Underground art! read more

Super friendly staff, very clean, and I'm very satisfied with my helix piercing. I went in with my friend on a Tuesday evening and it was pretty empty so we got right in. They made us feel welcome and relaxed. They allowed us to ask any questions we had and never made us feel stupid. I would go back to them to do future piercings. read more

Very friendly place! Although they are very friendly, I along with some of my family noticed that my piercing is not straight! Guess it's just one of those thing I'll have to deal with. read more

Love it here! The place was very nicely set up. Everyone working there was extremely nice. My piercing turned out very well. They have a nice selection of piercing jewelry. Everything went quickly. Everyone there at the time I was was also very happy with the results of their tattoo or piercing! The mermaid art was very cool. All the employees had beautiful tattoos as well. It was very clean and well decorated. I loved my free stickers and postcards. Thanks for the great piercing! read more
