I've never received anything less than stellar customer service. Their piercers and tattoo artists are very personable and will make you feel at ease while working their magic. The shop is clean and comfortable on the inside, and there is a ton of art to keep you distracted from the "beauty is pain" part of your tattoo or piercing. Pro tip: make sure to call or DM them to book an appointment, their artists are in high demand and book up quick!

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

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

Fast and friendly service with great prices!…read more I came in as a walk in to get a tattoo on my forearm and was quickly greeted by the front desk employee and tattoo artist, Oso. The shop was clean and BONUS they have dogs!!!! The process was very quick and precise. Oso was also very friendly and held fun conversations with me and my brother! I love my tattoo! Would come back again! Thanks Oso!!

My best friend and I received matching tattoos here a couple of years ago before I was a Yelper!…read more Studio 42 is a unique little tattoo and piercing shop located in Memphis. The artists there are awesome! I've personally only been tattooed by Garrett but everyone else's work looks amazing as well. Everyone was super welcoming and we were in and out with tattoos we loved! Pro tip: the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the parking lot is small, poorly lit, and pretty sketchy after dark. Bring a friend with you if you're skittish!

Really easy to find as I am familiar with the area. Prices were very reasonable. Immediately greeted upon entering and she started the digital checking process. The space was tidy and clean.

Another friend, then decided she wanted a second ear piercing and Jacie handled that as well. They both recieved aftercare instructions as were pleased with service.

DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE!!!! I got an industrial done here a week ago and woke up today with severe…read moreproblems from it. I cleaned it and kept up with the work every day and night. but this morning I woke up with the middle part basically engulfing the piercing. I never slept on that side or had added pressure. I posted a picture on reddit. you can read the comments and decide on the verdict (r/piercing : too far gone to save?) everyone in the comments suggested it was poorly pierced and I did not have the right anatomy for this piercing. Also was told that they gave me waaaaay too big of a bar. bigger bars are used for healing but this size of bar does more damage than good.. I wish i was told that i did not have the right ear anatomy for it instead of blowing 80 dollars at a shit job. Thanks for the "quality" service. Get your piercing done somewhere else.
