I went into Riverside Tattoo Co. with my expectations set high, and they were met if not exceeded.Once inside, I first made notice of the aesthetic of the room. It was a very calm and pleasing combination of colors and decor and when paired with the inviting and 'laid back' nature of the staff made for smooth process. I might add, on the topic of the aesthetic, the house playlist seemed to be intentionally geared towards that overall calming demeanor with an alt/indie/psychedelia heavy influence. It was a rather enjoyable playlist so props to the dj! Overall I was more than impressed with this shop and will undoubtedly be a returning customer and would gladly recommend to any and all of my peers and anyone looking for some badass ink!

I have been tattooed all over the country, and even abroad, and this is the cutest most welcoming shop I’ve ever been to! I hit up Nick when I was traveling up from florida, and was able to get me in super last minute and was super communicative about his schedule and when he’s be able to have me in.
The shop its self is so clean, cute, and comfortable. The bathroom was even adorable! This was the first tattoo shop I’ve ever been in that had feminine hygiene products on deck, which doesn’t seem like a lot- BUT, that in itself says a lot about the care of the clients.
I got both my hands done and i am so in love with them.
I will absolutely be back when I visit again!

I came here out of state to get a tattoo done by Nick, and this shop has given one of the best experiences I’ve had in a while. The counter person was extremely friendly and offered refreshments while the artists was setting up. He was very patient in making sure both the design and placement were perfect. I highly recommend checking them out if you’re in the area!

Went in for my 7th tattoo with Nick Moran and felt safe, heard, and comfortable. There’s a reason I keep going back. It is absolutely worth the wait of booking but they also accept walk ins. Clean environment and very talented artists. Knoxville is lucky to have this shop.

Last minute spur of the moment walk in. First tattoo. Staff was friendly, lots of example artwork on display. Studio was very clean and organized. Nick was my artist and did an excellent job. fast and clean lines. Shop minimum was $150 which seemed like a lot for my tattoo (small) but I am very happy with the result. 10/10 will get tatted here again.

Love this shop! The place is clean and the decor is fabulous. The people are also exceptional! My artist was Mariella and she was a blast to work with. I highly recommend her and the shop for all your inky needs and wants. I will definitely be going back! 🤘

I was in Knoxville for a concert and decided to reach out to Noah to see if he could get me in. He got back to me very quickly and we made an appointment for the next day. I had a wonderful experience getting tattooed by him and I couldn’t be happier with his work. During the tattoo, I spoke with a few other artists as they came by to check on others’ progress with clients, and none of them had anything but positive words and encouragement to say. This is definitely a shop that gives off the vibe of strong support for other tattooers. The shop itself strikes a super great balance between modern and classic. Very well lit, flash from tattooers all over the walls, and a mouth wash dispenser in the bathroom. This shop is a must visit for anyone visiting Knoxville. Even if you don’t want a tattoo, they have some super dope clothes inside.

My girlfriend and I came in for walk-ins after finding out about Riverside on Instagram. David did both of our tattoos after telling him our ideas and what we wanted, he drew them both up and gave us pricing. He was super friendly and did an amazing job on the tattoos, we will both be coming back, that's for sure, I think we found our new go to tattoo shop!

I had been looking forward to visiting RTC for quite some time and they did not disappoint! I got tattooed by Alec and Nick, and they were each highly knowledgeable, friendly, and did phenomenal work. Really impressive stuff. Can't wait to visit again!
