Tattoos- Studios in the Southeast-Any recommendations?

Hello WERA peeps. I know a few of you have tattoos and I'm thinking about getting a few over the winter. The best advertisement is a satisfied customer so I thought I would get a few recommendations from folks here that have them or know someone that has them and are happy with them. I live in Western North Carolina so I'm central to areas like Atlanta and Charlotte. Any advice or suggestions of reputable places would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

I don't do the whole tat thing, but here in Gastonia you have "Living Arts" and "Ink Link" both located on Franklin Blvd aka hwy 74

 

Try here - it's close to you:

In Atlanta, check out Liberty Tattoo or Memorial Tattoo (Phil Colvin).

 

Right out side of nashville is Absolute Ink. Chip has won many awards and does amazing portraits. He is alittle high , But you get what you pay for !

Forbidden Color- waynesville and opening one across from casino in cherokee, Johnny Lance is the shit. Getting close to finishing my sleeve.

Jeremy Harburn- Mean Machine-sylva downtown. Cartoonist turned tattoo. Amazing with his colors.

Empire Tattoo-downtown Asheville. Any of those guys rock.

Been tattooed by almost all of them. Try to post up some pics later.

 

I'll second Ink Link since I know the owner:up:

 

some locals have been to forbidden as well. good reports :up:

 

May try Empire. Jeremy's out...thinks I stole his woman.....who is now my wife.

 

If you can get up north or vegas Starlight tattoo they did all of my work but I hear memorial tattoo is good in ATL and those other ones mentioned above. I just like Mario Barth and Shotzie up in NJ

 

Im about to get some ink done- im talking to a chick in Raleigh - phoenix tat
its supposed to be pretty good

 

Commit felony-- go to prison, get sweet tats there.

 

I think a tat with "Property of Boochie" is going to be hard to explain.

 

What style of ink are you looking for? That could help in determining an artist. I just went and checked out a shop in Southern Pines that specializes in Celtic style. Good looking stuff.

 

Thats some funny shit...........:up::up:

Haven't seen him in a couple of years.
