    Jayme K.

    Best tattoo studio/art gallery in Savannah. Hands down. A friend of mine referred me to jimmy a while back and after following his Instagram, I knew he was perfect for what I wanted. This was a couple years ago but I get compliments on my lavender tattoo everyday. Many of my friends have used Jimmy and other artists at The Butcher and I am always blow away.

    I've had several tattoos done in the past, all of which were done by an artist in Pittsburgh. I wanted someone closer to home and heard great things about The Butcher. After doing some research, I felt Kim Reed would be the best fit long term. (I have more tattoos in my future, trust!!) This visit was for a simple wrist tattoo but if you look her up, Kim is incredible with detail especially with animals. So I went for a consult which went very well. She listened to my ideas and we came up with design that worked great. Living in ATL, I wasn't able to get it done the same week so we had to schedule for months later. We had several conversations via email and finally my schedule coordinated with hers. Went for one more consultation and then had the work done. Everyone there is professional and kind. It's a very clean atmosphere and I appreciate their commitment to the art and care of the artist's work. I will definitely be going back in the future!

    I got my first tattoo today at The Butcher. The staff was awesome, and very professional. Super clean environment. Kymberly did a great job on my tattoo. Thanks to you all. Will go back if I decide to get another one.

    Pat is the bomb. Just had him do a barber pole and some flowers next to it. Dude is an amazing artist. He did a marvelous job and made the tattoo super colorful. The consultation in the beginning was very thorough. He asked what colors I liked and what colors I didn't. What characteristics I like most and if there are any about the design I didn't. He explained what was going to be shaded and highlighted. Pat is a super fun dude to be tattooed by. Joking type of guy and easy to talk with. Made me feel super comfortable. Thanks again bro. Love it!

    Love my new tattoo.

    James was amazing! We were on a girls trip and spur of the moment decided we wanted tattoos. Shop…read moreis pretty cool with decor and James was thoughtful with what we wanted as far as placement and very fine line work. No squiggly lines here! Quick, fast and would highly recommend.

    You won't find a better tattoo artist in Savannah than James at Stranded Tattoo. His work is…read morephenomenal! He is a true artist and specializes in custom tattoos. Bring your ideas, sample images and imaginative concepts. This is not the kind of place that you pick a tattoo out of a book. SUPER CLEAN - the place is spotless and well decorated. Lots of original art on the walls, antique clocks, and old 19th century chairs for guests to sit in. Very classy! SUPER SANITARY - James is laser focused on maintaining a safe, sterile and sanitized environment. All tattoo needles are one time use, opened from sealed package and discarded. He goes through crazy number of supplies. New glove every time he has to answer the phone or touch something. He thoroughly washes down tattoo skin area with sanitizing solution. He provides detailed instructions on keeping tattoo clean as it is an open wound when you leave. SUPER ARTISTIC - James is focused on creating an image on your body that will look good in a decade. Many artist only focus on how it looks when you leave their shop. Ink diffuses over time into the fatty tissue. James will tell you if a small detail is too small and therefore the tattoo would need to be bigger or detail is not workable. He told me that all three of my tats needed to be bigger, and he was right. He also is good at understanding how people might interpret a tattoo differently than you intended. Give him your idea and you can be confident that he'll shape it into a design the will withstand time. He has always taken my concepts and worked them into a phenomenal design that was better than I could imagine on my own. HIGH STANDARDS - James is the owner and the tattoo artist. The last guy that worked with him made a comment that his standards were too high. James appreciated his honesty and told him to not come back. He highly respects the fact that he is applying permanent images on people's bodies. SPECIALIZES IN REPAIR - did you get a bad tattoo elsewhere? James is known for covering, fixing, correcting the mistakes that a lesser tattoo artist left on your body. TIPS - All meetings are by appointment. You might walk in and be lucky to catch him available for a consult, but best to call and schedule time. - Expect at least one consultation, if not two, before you schedule a tattoo. Since this is custom work, you need to discuss the job with James, and if complicated enough, you'll have a second consultation to see his proposed sketch of the tattoo for review before he creates the final tattoo template. - Think of meeting James as meeting up with a friend. This isn't a strictly-timed business appointment. He works by himself and has to fetch supplies, he gets stuck in traffic, and he answers phone calls...just like you. You might arrive at the shop before James does for your scheduled appointment. That's ok. - James will turn down jobs that he doesn't want to be associated with. For example, during my first tattoo, someone came in asking to get a My Little Pony musical note on their rear. James said no. Another guy wanted a design with a boy below the underwear line and James said no. The latter tattoo was well intentioned but James refused on basis for how it could be interpreted. - Heavy Metal - if you like it, then you are aligned with James's music taste. If you don't like it, then learn to appreciate it since you'll be hearing it for hours upon hours during your tattoo. - Illegal to drink before getting a tattoo. Don't do it. If James can tell you are under the influence then he probably will not be able to give you a tattoo that day. - Illegal to bring kids inside the tattoo shop. I believe you need to be 18, but double check if you have need to bring in someone younger.
