I got a basic, text tattoo (of geographical coordinates) done on my upper arm by Kim in 2010. Three years later, the tattoo looks like it was done yesterday. Her ability to ink text is unparallel, as it looks like it was lifted directly from the computer in which I typed it up on, onto my arm. Still to this day, I've had other tattoo artist compliment me on how well done it is. I live in Los Angeles now, a place where many great artist reside, but I would book the 3,000+ mile flight to Savannah, GA in a heartbeat when I plan on getting my next tat.
Review Source:Traveled to Savannah from CA for a great vacation. Getting caught up in the history of the area I got the urge to get some ink to demonstrate my family history. Read some reviews on Anonymous and it was close to our place. Walked in and spoke to Dean who lucky for me was done with appointments for the day and had time to do a piece for me on the spot. Gave Dean my idea and talked me out of a portion if what I wanted as he felt it wouldn't read well. He was right and ended up doing what he suggested and added his artistic flair to it and needless to say it ROCKS! The lines are precise and color with shading makes the piece look amazing. He did my family crest with colors that just pop and the detail is off the hook. I totally lucked out with Dean and I would no doubt recommend him to any of you. But I saw work come out of there by Rick and Aaron ?(sorry Bro forgot your name), and all of it was cool too. My point to you is there's not a bad artist in this shop and you would do yourself and your tattoo needs right by choosing this place to get your work done. The prices are great for the quality you receive and if you're going to drop several hundred dollars for permanent art it had better be great. Go check out Dean and the guys at Anonymous... you will not be disappointed. This is not your average shop or at-least not what I'm used to...clean, airy, good music, chill vibe, and lots of natural light which is great for artist doing their work. Weather it's your first or completing a sleeve these guys got you covered and the pride they take in their work reflects in the finished product. Enjoy your work at Anonymous.
Review Source:By far the best place to get a tattoo anywhere! Zack Spurlock has long been my artist and his talent and professionalism is top notch. The shop is beautiful and comfortable while maintaining a level of cleanliness I do not see at other parlors.
Zack takes great pains to make your tattoo look amazing, both in design and placement. Placement being crucial and oft overlooked by other artists. Zack also does everything he can to make you comfortable while getting your tattoo which is key when getting large designs on sensitive areas.
I could go on and on but simply put Anonymous Tattoo is the best place on east coast to get tattooed, and Zack Spurlock like all the artists there is AMAZING!
They say that word of mouth is the best form of advertisement. I first heard about Anonymous Tattoo from an army buddy in Kandahar, Afghanistan. When I ended up stationed close to Savannah I knew I had to look up Clay at Anonymous. He's done three excellent pieces for me and I'm sure he'll do many more. Great clean shop full of professional artists. If you want a session with one of the established artists make sure to book well in advance. Just like anywhere the better the artist, the more wait time. Be prepared to be given frank criticism of your tattoo idea. No beating around the bush here. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Review Source:Great shop! Both my wife and I had work done by Kimmie Reed. Colors popped and line work was excellent! She work with us both to make sure the work was exactly as we wanted it. Definitely worth the money! The shop is bright, open and plays good music to take your mind off the pain (yeah right!) Glad I went to get my Georgia ink there!
Review Source:This tattoo shop is very clean and professional. Â If I was a tattoo artist in Savannah, this is where I would want to work.
Ron was my artist and he did an awesome job on my tattoo. Â I showed him some ideas of what I wanted from pics on the web, but he came up with something so much better and certainly more original. Â Too bad he is leaving soon to go back North, from what he was telling me.
There are still other great artists here though. Â My wife also got a couple of tattoos from another artist, Kimberly, that look great.
I waited for my tattoo to heal before reviewing and it looks awesome.
Anonymous Tattoo is the best shop in Savannah, in my honest opinion. All the artists are amazing, but Zack Spurlock has done all my work (since I moved south, at least) and I have nothing but awesome things to say about him and beautiful artwork to vouch for his talent. Coming from someone who is pretty covered in ink you can trust my opinion. The website speaks for itself, all the artists have portfolios up. The space is really bright and inviting, and there is no pretentious tattoo shop attitude at all. Each artists works with you to design the perfect piece. Walk in's are welcome but its better to get an appointment, they're usually pretty busy.
Review Source:Special Shoutout from the ATL to Ron who did my work today at Ink and Dagger's Annual Man Day Celebration. Ron was so fast, precise, nice enough to deal with the fact that this was my first ink session, and was cool as all heck.
His shadowing skill is amazing, and his work really speaks for itself. I'd definitely check out his portfolio online, and visit him if you're in the Savannah area. I def plan to visit him when I head to Tybee Island again. Thanks Ron!

I get the impression everyone here is damn good at what they do. Â I can only vouch for Clay who did exquisite work on my arm. Â I went around Savannah looking for the perfect person to do this work, and I found him. Â He took my idea and replicated it perfectly, adding his own little touches which made the piece even better. Â
He was awesome to work with and seem to know exactly what should be done when I brought the picture in for a consultation. Â When it came time to actually get the work done, he was really communicative of what we were gonna do, how it was gonna be done, and always checked with me and waited for my input. Â He was patient, helpful, and the work is too good to be true.
I have to say I'm still waiting for it to finish healing, but I can tell it's perfect. Â And if you're gonna get something that takes up the entire upper half of your arm for the rest of your life, it better be perfect. Â And if you want perfect, you should hit up Clay at Anonymous.
After reading Yelp reviews on Anonymous Tattoos and Kim Reed, I decided she was the one to do my next tattoo. We started emailing, and she was incredibly helpful in setting up my appt (i was only in Savannah for a day) and working with my idea. I called and put a deposit down on the tattoo (goes toward the price of the piece as long as you show up) and was good to go 2 weeks ahead of time.
The shop itself is a great space; very airy and tons of natural light. (I loved all the artwork on the walls) Everyone was friendly and welcoming. While I was in there, Rick was working on a very large piece on a young lady's torso and she took a break a couple times. I don't know a whole lot about tattoos, but I know art and his piece was break-taking. He is an amazing artist.
But on to Kim. I loved her! She is a down-to-earth, no BS lady and her artwork exceeded my wildest dream! The only thing we changed on my piece was to have her do it in greyscale rather than color....she "got" that I wanted something delicate and feminine. It is truly a gorgeous piece of "jewelry" on my wrist. Â I enjoy showing it off. I would love to have her do another piece on me in the future. She is THAT GOOD.
I felt the prices at Anonymous were more than reasonable given the time and the talent I saw there. If you truly want a piece of art that you will be proud to have on your body forever, go see the folks at Anonymous.
While I've never been to the Anonymous parlor itself, I have had work done by one of the artists in residence - Kim Reed. Five years after she worked on my shoulder, people still grab my arm and ask who did my ink. So I've tracked her down to give her a great review here.
Kim is an excellent artist - one look at her portfolio and you'll marvel at her ability to bring to life intricate shapes and delicate colors. In fact, her shading is better than many, many other artists out there. Plus, Kim's style is more realistic and painterly than it is old school, nu skool, etc..
Bottom line, if you want beautiful, colorful ink you'll be proud to wear, stop in and see Kim. It'll be well worth it.

While it wasn't my main reason for vising my best friend Kate in Savannah this past August, it did happen to be our ten year friendship anniversary. To commemorate our long friendship we decided to get matching diamond tattoos, the traditional ten year anniversary gift. Having only been living in Savannah for three months Kate had no idea who could give us a couple of glamourous old school style diamonds; however, when she came upon the Anonymous Tattoo website and found tattooist Zack Spurlock she knew he was the man for us.
We couldn't have had a better experience Zack. Luckly he was able to fit up in last minute, we only decided to take this leap of love a week before I was to be in Savannah. Â He was super empathetic to Kate as she was very nervous as this was her first tatoo. Although she didn't let up complaining during her tattoo, he wasn't heavy-handed at all-she's just a wimp!, Zack was able to engage her in conversation to help her through. So much so that later on that evening Kate was telling me about the floral half sleeve she would like to someday get. Because Kate had to leave for work I was left with Zack to be tattooed by myself, and he was nothing but nice, chatting with me the whole time. Our tattoos both healed amazingly well and they were priced very reasonably to boot!
The shop itself is a beautiful open loft setting, that gets an amazing amount of light. There are particians seperating each artist's area, but they are not closed off, which I found to be nice as it seemed to create a really open environment and friendly atmosphere. Beaufitul art by the artists themselves hangs on the walls and the staff are all amazingly nice. If you're getting a tattoo in Savannah, I'd say to definatly go here-hell, I'm not even there and I'm planning to get work done on my next trip down.
