The…read moreartist I went to was Kyle Wardlow, and I can't wait for him to finish out my entire arm because his work is absolutely incredible. I would recommend him to anybody and everybody, but I honestly I'm impressed by everybody there. Some tattoo shops are intimidating in the way they speak to and handle clients, but I never experienced anything but friendliness and approachable people here.

I was there to get a memorial tattoo. I was working with Joel, who I sent several photos and emails…read moreas to what I had in mind. He came through with a great design and good efficient delivery. I had my choice of artist and after reviewing the shop's website and the gallery of each artist's work, I liked Joel's floral work ( my tat has yellow roses in it). The shop is well lit and a good layout. It is also very clean. They use padded massage tables for you to lie/sit on, while the artist is on a roll around stool. Like I said earlier, Joel worked efficiently, keeping me comfortable as possible while getting the job completed. I would recommend Black Anvil to anyone considering a tattoo. They have some amazing artists to choose from and handle your experience in a friendlly and professional manner.

While I've never gotten a tattoo, I was excited to watch my best friend get hers. Memphis offered a tour of the new space almost immediately and I couldn't help but notice the signatures of previous visitors on the wall, new merch hung up on a vintage clothing rack, and custom art hung around every room -- it was a gorgeous display of the range in artistry they both carry. After a few minutes of listening to my friend describe the tattoo she had in mind, he drafted a few designs and got started! We were there for about 3 hours and it passed by *so* quickly. Between the upbeat music, good conversation, and mini breaks to get readjusted, we barely noticed when the first hour had passed. Although I didn't get a tattoo that day, I do feel more confident after having a lot of my (admittedly, stupid) questions answered. I look forward to coming back for my own appointment in the future!

I've drove by this place so many times and had no idea it was a tattoo/piercing shop! Glad to know…read moreit's there now! I called about 5 minutes before my arrival to see if they were able to remove a piercing. They said to come in any time. Upon arrival, I was greeted by the nice piecing artist. He showed me back to the extremely clean and pristine room. It took about 5 minutes for him to remove the piecing and I was only charged a small fee. He seemed to be very experienced and it was painless. I would recommend this place!

I got tattooed twice at the Grade A on N. Clinton (the location outside of and away from the mall)…read more Dustin did my first tattoo and Corey did my second. I had absolutely no issue with the shop atmosphere, my tattoo experiences, or the artists themselves! My only advice is to actually shop around to gauge prices. I am a pretty timid person, so at my own fault I believe I overpaid for my two tattoos. My first tattoo was lightning strikes across the front side of my forearm, with a bolt leading down the back of my hand to my pointer finger. I had 3 words tattooed on my wrist to go with it. This tattoo was scheduled ahead of time and took maybe a total of 2 or 3 hours. I walked in for my second tattoo a year later; it was a 4x2 inch tree on my bicep. Both tattoos were black ink, solid with no color and no shading detail (aside from the trunk of the tree having slight shading). I paid $500 for each. Like I said, I didn't price check, so my own gullibility is what got me. I assumed $300-500 was reasonable for the first tattoo, considering the size and time/artist rate, and I got that price quoted by Nate at reception, who then told Dustin the price he quoted. Alternatively, Corey directly quoted me $500 for the second tattoo. This tattoo took maybe 45-60 mins, with the prep time included. I did tip outside of these amounts as well. I'm not sure if I was simply taken advantage of (I had verbally expressed that the first one was my first tattoo) or if I walked right into it and set myself up (or both ), but it's in the past. I'm super happy with how my tattoos came out, and while I might have paid more than I needed to, the team there is super chill and great at their art, from what I could tell. I recommend you know how to bargain and know the appropriate price ranges in your area for the type of work you're looking to get done!!
