Stephen was fantastic. We got matching tattoos and he did exactly what we wanted, with careful consideration to sizing based on detail to keep it looking great years to come.

I’ve had multiple tattoos done at this location, recently I had one done by Louit and he is incredible! The man is a gifted artist and an incredible tattoo artist! Go see him and show him some love, it will be worth it!

Just got my first tattoo here and had a wonderful experience! Came as a walk-in and got some simple lettering on my forearm. Joel did a fantastic job and was very apologetic about my wait (even though it wasn't that bad---as a walk-in, it's kind of what you sign up for). He went over all the little details I may want to think through regarding the placement and subsequent care of my tattoo, and I felt very comfortable the whole time. Definitely no feeling of condescension as I had feared (this being my first time and all). I loved the whole experience and will be back again whenever I think of what to get next! Thank you all so much!

Referred by a close friend in the industry when trying to find a good place for our daughter. So called and the staff was very friendly and inviting they advised us on Kentucky requirements and walked us through every step including how to find the proper paperwork on their site and setup appointments through their site.
Let’s be clear this was an amazing experience all in itself and speaks volume to the staff and family that owns this business. This is how you know your talking with professionals in their industry and makes a world of difference in how you know your going to walk into a friendly professional setup. I’m glad my buddy was on point with his recommendation and will post a follow up review after our experience but this was a great experience that gained client trust and overall an inviting business that really showed they love what they do! Thanks

My first time going to Tattoo Charlie’s and got a tattoo done by Ryan. He was so sweet and took his time. He was able to give me exactly what I wanted done. He did an astonishing job with it. I love my new tat

The people are so kind here! They're great at making you feel welcome and relaxed. Safety is their #1 concern and they're very strict about cleanliness and rules, which is great. They're also very knowledgeable and informative! 10/10 will be coming back for more piercings and tattoos.

Darin is amazing. He listened to what I wanted and then created the most beautiful piece of art for my back. I could not be any happier with my experience. Absolutely perfect!!!! Now I'm back for a thigh piece and I know I have found my home for tattoos!
