  Acme is the best tattoo shop in Louisville and so far the best tattoo shop I've been in.  All the artists who work there have immense talent.  Acme is also the only shop I've been in where the artists will tell you if an idea won't work, like the detail is too small to tattoo, then provide a suggestion to work around the problem.  Other shops would gladly tattoo you, take your money, and then let you deal with blurred detail.  
  
  If you're in Louisville and you're thinking of getting a tattoo just look at their portfolios.  You'll see for yourself the quality of work they churn out.  Old school sailor tattoos - check.  Vibrant color saturated tattoos - check.  Portraits - check.  The list goes on and on.
  
  The shop is an old doctor's office and what used to be examination rooms are now private studios.  True story: my mother found out she was pregnant with me when this location was still a doctor's office.  Thirty years latter my dad and I are getting tattooed at the same time in the very same office.  Circle of life, dude.

  The best.  Beautiful work - Adam designed for me an old-school inspired owl in flight.  The colors were great, and the design was better than what I had imagined.  
  
  This place is superclean, and these folks are definitely artists.

  I LOVE the new Bonnycastle location!!!  I've been living in NYC for 6 years and Acme is as good as any of the places I have visited there or in SoCal. I just got tattooed by Dennis Pase.  He's new to Louisville, but not to tattooing. I got a gingerbread man with a bite taken out of it tattooed on the back of my upper arm. Dennis drew a better design than I could have pictured in my head!!  He incorporated a lot of vibrant colors and shading.  
  
     Dennis was clean, efficient, professional and SO MUCH FUN!  The time flew by and I barely noticed the pain because I was laughing so much.  
  
    I plan on seeing Dennis again very soon.
  
    Everyone at Acme is amazing. I love the new location, I prefer the private rooms.  (Looks like it was maybe a doctor's office or something the way the little tattoo rooms are laid out).
