I'm a following customer of Jason's BUT I've seen plenty of other stuff done by the other dudes and there's not a one that I would steer anyone away from..
Just like any place it is easier to go into a tattoo parlor with idea in hand because a lot of times the artists don't know you and can't really read your mind when you just kind of halfway explain what you want BUT just like any a**hole customer I do this all the time ( come in with barely an idea ) and they manage to get my idea out on a piece of paper.
Anyways, Every single artist in the WORLD has their own style and I think this place has very evenly dispersed talent in certain areas... Â
One is better at portraits than one is at comic book style like one is best at sailer jerry type crap. Â Just look at their portfolios they've got set up and even just ask one of them who would be the best at something in particular...... Â they are all pretty good friends and aren't in the 'every man for himself' type of work environment so they'll truthfully steer you to who you need to see.
And about pricing.. Â Remember.. Â You're getting something thats going to be there FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE...
and even a transmission that costs $3000 to fix doesn't last that long so quit being so cheap!
Just North of the southern most Kroger on Gallatin Road, you will find (tucked away) this hot new tattoo parlor. Don't let the outside fool you into thinking its a dive or that the area is unsafe. This could prevent you from entering East Nashville's rocking new shop.
All the guys that work here have their own style. If you are not sure who to see, go in, and take your time chatting with the guys and checking out their work.
The interior is cozy and inviting. Not a bad place to show up early or hang late, after your piece. Prices are negotiable but remember you pay for quality. If you compare the prices here to other shops in the area, you will definitely save about half.
I have been here once since they opened and look forward to going back.
