    Tattoo

    I'm sad to leave this negative review because I know so many people have had great experiences here. But I believe people should hear what happened when I went here not too long ago I called asking if there were any openings for the day. The gentleman said I could come in at a certain time. I understand sometimes tattoos end up taking a little bit longer than you think they would, but I ended up waiting over an hour past my appointment time. Not to mention that he never asked for any ID. I'm 29 but look very young. He rushed through my entire tattoo. It is crooked, the lettering is uneven, and it just does not look good. Cant believe I paid $90 for this.

    I had a friend in town who really wanted to get a tattoo, and after i saw this shop's work I wanted to give them a call to see if they'd accept walk-ins or not. The man (James???) on the phone gave some unessecary attitude when I asked how "tomorrow" (Memorial Day, today) looked appointment wise (didnt want to just drop in if they were busy) and he snapped "I dOn'T kNoW i CaN't SeE tHe FuTuRe!" When its like.... can't you look and see if there are any appointments tomorrow? Anyway, he told us they closed at 6 and if we wanted to make an appointment for the next day we needed to come in "today" to speak to the artist. I told him great, we'll be there as soon as we're done eating. It was 2 when we finished, and we immediately went over to the shop. The man at the front desk was the same one I spoke to on the phone, and when i briefed what we talked about earlier he said "well, too bad now, the artist just left." Flustered I said "well you told us you closed at six and we'd be right over after eating..." and once again he got snippy and was like " HoW wAs I sUpPoSeD tO kNoW hOw FaSt YoU'd EaT?" I tried to remain polite and said "oh well, sorry, we'll try again somewhere else." That's when Adam Potts came to the rescue. He had overheard our conversation and offered to tattoo my friend right then and there. Luckily my friend had the design on his person! Adam was sweet, professional, works quickly but efficiently! Gave my friends tons of advice on tattoo care. Pricing was pretty normal for a tattoo place. The establishment itself seemed nice. While i didn't see a parking area specifically for it, you can literally park on the side of the road in front of it. I want to say I'd come back and have my next tattoo done by Adam.... but honestly that guy at the front desk was extremely rude. Why would you want someone so snarky as the first person you meet when walking in?

    This place is amazing! I came here by myself as a walk-in and James took great care of me! I showed him my original design and he helped me get a good size for it. He also explained to me which colors would look best on my skin tone and everything. James was SUCH a chill guy to get a tattoo from! Made it very easy for me not to be nervous at all and he works really fast! He's a great guy and amazing artist. I couldn't be happier with what I got. I 100% will be coming back sometime in the future!

    Lyndi Lou is phenomenal! She takes her time with you and makes sure the design is what you want. She makes you feel at ease and is cool if you're a squirmer like me. She's done all of my son's tattoos and he loves them. We also got one together. This is a nice group of talented folks. You can't go wrong here!

    I want to this little joint after strolling up and down bardstown and seeing serval talented artist this place stuck out. They had very traditional artwork (which I love) but also more modern pieces that were what I aiming for with my next tattoo. I got a an elephant outline on my left arm above the outside of my elbow. I was very indecisive. On the placement due to the fact that I am a bigger woman. But the artist did a great job at placing this tattoo wear it still looks elegant. The line work is very stable and I cannot be more pleased.

    Done by Lynda, $100 dollars.

    James is currently working on my sleeve and I've never seen another artist invest their mind and their time into their work like James does.

    I've gotten two tattoos from Ash here and I love this shop! I believe Ash is now an artist, but she…read moredefinitely was an apprentice when I got my plumeria tattoo, which was my first tattoo! I got my plumeria tattoo in July 2022 and it took two hours and was $180 plus tip. I got my balloon flower tattoo in Dec 2022 and it took two hours and was $220 plus tip. As you can see, her rates have gone up so it's best to keep an eye on her instagram page and be on her email list for updates. For the booking process, each time I would submit an idea while her books were open then she would approve my idea if it fit within what she wants to tattoo. Once I got approval, she emailed two links for putting down a deposit and choosing when my appointment is. This process is easy, then you eventually get a couple emails/text messages telling you instructions for the day of the appointment and aftercare. Parking near the studio is rather hard, but I've always been lucky that my partner drops me off. You can definitely find street parking, it just may be a bit of a walk to the studio. You text the given number saying that you're here and go up once Ash says she's ready. The rest of the process is pretty straightforward after that. I love this studio since you always feel safe and respected while getting a tattoo! I have suggested Ash as an artist to other people multiple times and will continue to do so.

    After going to some shifty tattoo parlors I walked in and felt right at home. Mind you I flew in…read morefrom PA walked right off the plane and into this studio! The studio is warm and inviting and just makes you want to be there. Louisa is not only a pleasure to talk to but her work is outstanding! I only got a very tiny tattoo but it had a lot of significance and meaning behind it and Louisa made sure to take the time and effort to make sure it looked/looks incredible now and for years to come. I am so pleased with the work I received that when I fly back in to Louisville i definitely will be visiting again!!

Walked into a Uncle Bob's and was pleasantly greeted by staff and Uncle Bob himself. (I will disclose that I have known Bob since first grade, but had not seen him in over 38 years). Their piercer is in every day they are open (go figure). He was honest and didn't have the materials I need to fix my jewelry piece and says he didn't want to attempt to replace it with something else because my ear was irritated. Here comes the best part of businesses I love. The piercer referred me to another tattoo and piercing shop. Businesses who realize their limitations and take the best interest of a potential customer are truly the best. They were not afraid to lose business and genuinely cared.

Everyone is so wonderfully kind and sweet, but also very professional. My tattoos have healed beautifully due to the care from the artists, and they look 1000x better than I could have ever imagined. Honestly the best shop in the entire area. One visit and you'll never want to go anywhere else.
