Immortal Images Tattoo Studio - Tattoo Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

If i could give them 0 stars I would. I made a request to get a tattoo done in between other work i got done couple years ago. They said they don't do filler work that's not something they do and turned me down. They think highly of themselves and never seen a business act like that. Will never go here or recommend them to anybody and trust me, everybody around me has tattoos and is always wanted to add more. Their lost!! read more

I've been going to Immortal Images since the mid-90s when they had their shop on South Boulevard. Though the location has changed a few times through the years the one thing that has remained consistent is very high quality ink. I have 25+ tattoos and they were either done at Immortal Images or they were retouched at Immortal Images mainly by Steve Huntsberry & a few by Haley Lakeman. Most of my pieces are custom and I've never regretted any of the work I've had done there. Sandy, the manager, is a sweetheart. She works with people on the phone as well as walk ins to help you discover not what it is that you think you want, but what you need, placement & cost. Immortal Images has always been an ultra clean facility with comfortable seating & friendly people. All of the artists are professional & produce high quality art. read more

Nick is the absolute f*ING extreme!! Loved my time with him but the work he did for me is crazy, excellent, and has gone beyond my greatest expectations!! Nick IS THE SH*T!!! THANK YOU!! read more

Immortal Images Tattoo Studio - Tattoo Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

See all

The vibe of this studio is as badass as the talent. Everything about being there was like a hug from the universe. I cannot wait for our 5 hour appointments with Lee and Steve in 2 months. Lee Greene had a last minute opening and I raced in there just to get a hit of the Immortal Images Magic. Love my tattoo, and it is so much more than just the remaining inked image. Originally, we (my boyfriend and I) were certain we would get our tattoos at Fus in NODA. The front desk greeter person should have been a tip off as to the vibe of the place. We did meet with one of the artists who was arrogant and definitely conveyed the vibe that we were lucky to be in his presence. At Fus, they are known for their talent...but I treasure the entire experience of receiving a tattoo. It is deeply spiritual and kind of intimate, so I refuse to pay any amount of money to spend extended time in close proximity and being physically handled by someone whom it feels crummy to be near. That's just me. Just sayyyin. The minute we walked into Immortal Images, we felt welcome, excited, and chilled out. read more

Steve and Lee are great people and unbelievable artists. This is the only place I will go and can't recommend them enough. Awesome shop and work! read more

I got a simple tattoo on my ankle almost 5 years ago. Very happy with the communication before tattooing took place...I got a unique tattoo and it is exactly what I wanted. My daughter wanted a tattoo earlier this year, and I knew this was the place to take her. She has a lovely tattoo that she will be happy with forever. A tattoo is permanent, and it is important to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. At Immortal Images they take the time to make an appointment for a consultation, then make another appointment for the tattoo. The studio is fastidiously clean. The chairs have disposable covers, gloves are worn and it is obvious that every precaution is taken to ensure the health and welfare of their staff and their clients. I think the best way to find a good tattoo place is to ask around...and several of my friends recommended this place, with good reason. The high review here on yelp confirms the decision! read more

Awesome experience. It has been many many years since I received tattoo (the two I do have were both done in or around college age years, when pain was inevitably muted by a plethora of alcohol and inappropriate sexual encounters) I went in two weeks prior to meet the staff and tour the parlor. Everyone was super nice and professional and everyone I met had a great sense of humor. I flipped through all of the artist's books and while they were all phenomenal, I chose Nick as I thought his work better matched what I was looking for. Fast forward two weeks to today. My appointment was at 6. I walk in about 3 minutes before 6 and the young lady greeted me and asked my name. She had all of my paperwork ready and made a quick photocopy of my driver's license. She took the time to talk about post-care. She was super sweet and very professional. Everyone said hi as they walked by. Nick was at the counter right at 6pm and was ready to go. We talked about the idea I had based on some images I had e-mailed him previously. He did a rough sketch and I loved the result of that. Nick was engaging and friendly and we chatted through the majority of the tattoo. When he was finished, I was shocked...I thought perhaps we were taking a break..nope, that mf'er was done. Brilliant Brilliant work. Far exceeded my expectations. I can't imagine you could go wrong with ANY of the artists there but if you get a chance to get some work done by Nick, do it. He is booked until mid - August..that speaks volumes. My next piece will be done at Immortal by Nick, or it won't be done at all. read more

I've never been tattooed by one of the Immortal staff, but I got tattooed at Immortal by an artist who was doing a guest spot in town. The portfolios of the artists who work there speak for themselves...they are all world-class artists, and we're lucky to have them in town. When I got tattooed there, I was most impressed by the professionalism of the studio and the cleanliness. It's like a doctor's office in there. Everything is either disposable or carefully covered. They not only meet the North Carolina requirements, they exceed them. If you want to get tattooed at Immortal, you'll probably have to wait for a while, as the artists stay booked for months in advance. You might also pay more than you'll pay at some of the other shops in town...in spite of the high prices and the long wait, however, you'll get great, custom work from some of the best in the business. You're taking your safety into your own hands if you go somewhere less professional, and you're risking getting ugly art and having to live with a bad tattoo or pay hundreds of dollars for laser if you go somewhere faster and cheaper. Speaking of laser, they offer laser services at Immortal as well! read more

Bill was great to work with and did a phenomenal job. Highly recommended for sure. He took my idea and ran with it. Prices were good, too. read more

Exceeded my expectations! I researched a very long time to hopefully meet the right artist for my long awaited tattoo. I chose Steve Huntsberry after reviewing his website and work. I met with Steve and he is a down to earth and easy going artist. He makes you feel comfortable in dealing with him and he takes the time out to listen. I shared my ideas of what I wanted and he took notes and details on what I desired. I scheduled my tattoo and I was a bit apprehensive to see what Steve would draw up for me and I was worried that he would have to make changes to the initial drawing. When I met Steve on ink day he showed me what he had drawn up and I was extremely happy to see that he nailed it perfectly the first time! I was elated with my tattoo and Steve is a true artist. He is very pleasant to deal with and meticulous in his work. The only negative I have is that it takes too long to schedule a sitting with Steve because he is so busy with customers. I mean that in a good way because he is obviously in high demand but worth the wait. It's no wonder people seek him. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I'm already prepping for my next tattoo with Steve. I highly recommend Steve and Immortal Images Tattoo of Charlotte. read more

Immortal Images Tattoo Studio - CARABINIERI TATTOO - Tattoo Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Okay, so just so everybody here knows I'm not crazy-pants, here's why I'm unhappy with Chris at Immortal Images. 7/19, I e-mailed him that I dug his portfolio and would be in Raleigh (3 hours away) 7/25-8/5 and wanted to get some work done - throw out some ideas, yadda yadda. 7/21, his first communication back with me - 1 question. "How big you want the tattoo?" 7/21, I respond back 1.5 hours later with "my only size limit is what you can do in one session" Seven days later (7/28), I e-mail him to follow-up because I hadn't heard from him. He says to stop by that night. ...I'm 3 hours away, that isn't possible. Can he see me Thursday? 7/31, he tells me he can do 3pm on the 2nd, and I get the first sketch of the tattoo and oh by the way, put a deposit down. 8/1, I respond (albeit, 8:30pm) with some alterations I'd like to see to the sketch. I don't make a deposit, because in my area, that's what you do to GET a sketch. He never mentioned I wouldn't get an appointment without putting a deposit down. No quote on cost of the tattoo or anything, mind you. So I drive the 3 hours out to Charlotte, and he just basically ignores me. Says I didn't make a deposit, so he gave my appointment away. I'm coming from DC, and you couldn't be a touch more accommodating to my unique situation? I went to ACE Tattoos instead and got a custom piece that is my favorite of my 8 tattoos now, done by Tommy, and they did it on the fly. I got super lucky, ACE's lobby is loaded with trophies. 1 star because uhhh... I honestly don't know why. read more

Awesome does not cut it as a description for this place, and particularly for Nick, who, believe it or not, was recommended to me by another tattoo studio who would not work on me because I was asking too many questions and seemed too anxious to them. For my very first tattoo, I asked Nick to do one on my right shoulder of an extremely intricate photo of a hermit crab that I got off the web. It looked like an impossible job, but Nick is known as a master of realism, he took it on with relish. For various reasons there was 6 months elapsed time between when I first spoke to him and when I finally came in the night before the appointment to flesh out some issues with the background, and he remembered the project completely. It was supposed to take 4 hours, and as a tattoo "virgin", I was more than a bit nervous about going under the needle that long for a first piece. I figured I really wanted this tattoo, so I came in the next day and threw caution to the wind. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. Nick prepared me, had me lie down on his nice comfortable cushioned table, and I lay there and listened to soothing music, completely relaxed, while he went to work. Not only was the pain not too bad, I very quickly began to enjoy it tremendously. Must be those endorphins, I guess. We took one bathroom break at the 1-hour point, then I lay down again until the finish, which was only another hour and half later. I could not believe he finished it that fast. Better yet, I almost fell over when I saw the result. He provided a beautiful sort of abstract background that faded into the skin, but the crab was, oh my God, so incredibly realistic, I can't understand how he did that. Just like the photo, every last pixel! I badly want to do this again, and Nick at Immortal Images will be the guy wielding the gun if I do. Absolutely incredible. read more

I had to have a heart touched up on my wrist. I forget the guys name doing it but he is amazing. No pain in such a painful area. He was quick and did an amazing job. Its a shame I do not live in the Queen City anymore read more

I really wanted to get a tatoo from Nick but when I went to click on a deposit it redirected me to a PayPal page. A $200.00 deposit is a bit much. Esp for someone who is traveling into your city & seeking a tatoo. If I were in your city I may think about it but not this traveler. It also may help not to have someone returning calls only to give 2 words answers "Yes maam". I've been to NYC, OH, & TN for a tatoos & the protocol was not this strenuous for a deposit. Time is money but ease up. Maybe one day I can be a walk in if they even take them. read more

If you are thinking of getting your first or next tattoo, Immortal Images is the place to go. I was blown away by the excellence of the operation. From how much pride they take in their shop to how much care they give each customer. I set an appointment to get a tattoo with Nick. This guy is awesome!! I had an idea of what I wanted, but I didn't want it to look like anyone else's, so Nick free hand drew on my arm the design. Not only was it what I wanted, it exceeded my expectations. He captured exactly what I wanted. He knocked out a pretty big tattoo on my left arm from shoulder to elbow in about 5 hours. The atmosphere was fun & friendly while I was getting the tattoo. Very laid back. Plus the shop is kept very clean. I cannot express how pleased I was. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for their next tattoo. Thanks Nick & everyone at Immortal Images!! You guys are amazing! read more

I filled through some of the ink artists portfolios here and I was completely hooked. This is some of the most original tattoo art that I have seen around Charlotte. I only have two tattoos, but I have been flirting with the idea of getting a backpiece done. One of my friends, who tattoos from head to toe, told me to check this place out. I loved all of his body art and he had gotten some work done here so I checked it out. The place is spick and span, I wouldn't even question the sanitation of there needles or the experience of the employees based on the store's upkeep alone. I heard that there is a waiting list to get a tattoo here, but I am really considering it, it looks worth the wait. read more

This was my first experience with this studio and it was great! Nick was awesome! He made my tattoo look beautiful even better than I'd thought! I will definitely be returning for more work in the future! Impressed! Highly recommend! read more

Lee, you are awesome! I'm a newbie to tattoos. He answered all my questions. Let me get use to the needles, etc... Great response in setting up an appointment. Clean, upbeat atmosphere. I'm just getting started in this world. I will definitely be back. read more

I've been going to immortal for two years now. Everyone is professional and the shop is immaculate. Nick has been doing my tattoos. He is very friendly and open to any artistic designs you are looking for and will make recommendations with his professional experience to make your tattoo the best possible. Sometimes being able to communicate what you want and being able to translate it in tattoo lingo can be intimidating but Nick makes you feel at ease and very comfortable and doesn't make you feel like a moron. I went into the shop already having work done by other artist and Nick has done well with placement of new tattoos to already existing ones to complete my sleeve. I cannot speak of the other artists but they all have portfolios and are definitely worth taking a look. read more

I went last Friday and had my phoenix finished. As I predicted it is amazing work. I absolutely LOVE the finished tattoo. If you are looking to get a tattoo in Charlotte I would go no other place than Immortal. read more

Steve did a great job working with me on my tattoo, it came out great and I am extremely pleased with the results. He is a true professional. I'm glad I did my research and chose him! read more

Serious professionals, immaculately clean and phenomenal talent! Got a large backpiece done by Chris and am very happy with it. He was super patient with me and made sure I got the art that I wanted. Highly recommended! read more

I have been going to Chris for ink for over a year, and he continues to amaze me! Both arms are works by Chris - a Phoenix and a Dragon, both of which I love and am extremely happy with. The shop is immaculate, everyone there is cool, friendly and welcoming. I would (and do) recommend any of the artists at Immortal Images! read more

I have been thinking about getting a simple wrist tattoo for over a year but never had the courage to actually do it. Recently, I celebrated my 45th birthday and I thought now is the perfect time to get that tattoo I'd been thinking about. So, I started searching for tattoo artists & studios online. I even went and visited a few. However, when I landed on Immortal Images website and browsed through Lee Greene's art gallery, I knew he was the perfect artist for me! One of the reasons I chose Lee was his attention to detail in every one of his tattoos. I emailed him a picture of the tattoo I was interested in getting and he immediately responded. I even asked to quote me a price and he did so without hesitation. I scheduled an appointment with Lee and I have to tell you he is a great guy! He listened to my heart! Getting a tattoo can be very personal and I find that most tattoos have a story behind them. He drew up several renderings, gave me sound advice, and within minutes I had the most gorgeous wrist tattoo I've ever laid eyes on! Getting this done was the most amazing and rewarding experience. I put it up there on the level as when I gave birth! The reason? I had thought about my tattoo for over a year and when I went through the actual pain and saw the end result, it was like laying eyes on my beautiful baby for the first time. Not only was Lee incredible, the studio is very clean and every step is taken for a sterile & sanitized environment. It is like going to a nice hair salon. Some of the tattoo studios I walked in to in Charlotte, I would send my worst enemy to. You really need to be careful in having this done and do your research. I feel that I can save this step for you because Lee Greene at Immortal Images Custom Tattoos Studio is the very best! Oh, and did I mention the price? I had been quoted up to $125 for my simple wrist tattoo but Lee did it for less than a 1/3 of the price. He's worth way more money than this. I highly recommend him and I know that you will not be disappointed. I have never been happier and I only wish I would have done it sooner but I'm so glad I took the time to do my research. It made the experience that more meaningful. Check out Lee Greene's tattoo art gallery here: http://www.immortalimagestattoo.com/Lee.html read more

You pay a little more but it's totally worth it. You have to make an appointment but you get right in if you have one. They do a really great job and the tattoo looks better than other ones I've had. read more

I've gotten several tattoos from Bill and they consistently look better than I anticipate they will. No it's not cheap and yes you might wait weeks for an appointment and yes you will pay a hefty deposit in order to secure that appointment - but then you will have permanent artwork on your body that you love and it's 100% worth it. (I personally kind of like the deposit policy because then I don't have to pay for the entire piece all at once.) Hygiene is top notch, shop is immaculate. read more

Didn't even end up getting a tattoo here because they were so rude. Went in for a "consultation" which was basically the tattoo artist talking to me while he was working on someone else. He asked what I wanted to get and when I told him he told me that wouldn't work and instead of suggesting how we could change it to make it work he just basically dismissed me. I will be finding a different tattoo parlor that will actually give me their attention. read more

This is a bit strange. I'm reviewing a tattoo parlour that didn't do my tattoo! Here's the story..... I was going to be in Charlotte N.C. at the end of June on business, so I decided to get some ink done while there. Weeks in advance I started checking out the shops and decided on Immortal Images(II) as they looked to be most professional and had really good reviews. I sent them a picture and an e-mail explianing that I was going to be in Charlotte for just a couple of days and if they could accomodate me. They said fine and even gave me a rough price estimate. So I show up and guess what? They say they are booked solid and I can get it done two days after! This was impractical as I was leaving the country the next day! Needless to say after all the e-mails and telephone calls I was really disappointed! I don't live in the US and good artists are pretty tough to come by here. So, they probably do really good work but their whole sense of customer service and saying what they mean leaves a LOT to be desired. read more

Amazing work, they really listened and created a work of art. Very clean, wonderful artists.
