I knew Nick was not only an awesome tattooer but a stellar fella before I had been to Riverside Tattoo Co. so I knew it was going to be a good first-time experience when I was there yesterday. Not only was the shop clean, COVID safe/aware, and professional, but the staff was incredibly caring, observant and friendly. Jamie, their front desk helper, was not only super hospitable to me but also to my family when they came in later towards the end of my tattoo. If you are considering getting tattooed at the shop, DO IT! You will be cared for in every way possible!

Riverside is the best tattoo shop in East Tennessee. I've gotten tattooed at a few shops around Knoxville but Riverside is by far the best. All of the artists are super talented, each with their own style and forte. The shop is super clean. Alec tattooed me and he was super professional. Everybody in the shop is really kind and you will definitely feel comfortable going there for any tattoo/piercing needs. They also have dope march!

Nick did a outstanding job! He made sure I was comfortable during the process, offered snacks and drinks the whole time. By far the best experience I’ve had a tattoo shop! You can really tell Nick loves what he does and wants to make sure his clients are 100% satisfied! If your looking for a place to get tattooed look no further cause Riverside Tattoo is the best out there! I will be booking more appointments in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve been tattooed twice at Riverside Tattoo Co. and I’ve had an excellent experience both times! The shop is bright, clean, and full of amazing art. Everyone is friendly & helpful and both of my tattoos were covered with the saniderm sticker afterward so it made aftercare even easier than normal! Both artists I went to used Venmo but they had a card reader there. First tattoo (tarot cup) was done by Noah Lockhart in July 2020 and the second (lady head) was done by Joey Cassina in June 2021! This is my go-to shop now and I’ve recommended to several people.

Hands down the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had! This was my fifth tattoo but my first at Riverside and I would be happy to never go anywhere else ever again. The staff was super friendly, the environment was friendly, and the overall vibes were super positive. Nick did an amazing job with my idea and I can’t wait to go back!

Nick did my tattoo and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. He definitely knows what he is doing and even taught me a little history of traditional tattoos. Nick made sure I absolutely loved my design before starting. I came in with a simple design in mind and his creativity turned it into something I would have never thought of; I like it so much more than what I originally wanted. He asked about the color palette and made sure I was happy with the shades he was going to be using before starting. He asked multiple times if I was doing okay pain wise, which I appreciated even though my pain was minimal. He paid extreme attention to detail in the shading and even noticed that one of the areas that was going to be shaded would look better a different color than what we decided on at first, so he asked me my opinion about it (which I agreed) and traded out the ink before shading the area. He explained the aftercare process to me thoroughly before giving me the instructions to go home with. Overall Nick communicates very well in all aspects, he is very talented, and you can tell he truly wants his clients to be happy. I would highly recommend Nick Moran if you are looking to get a traditional style tattoo especially if you’re new to getting tattoos. I have nothing but positive things to say about the entire experience.

I had a tattoo this morning with Nick Moran, and he absolutely killed it! The way he worked with me to make adjustments on my tattoo was unlike any other artist. He is very focused and above all other things, he listens first. He also consistently offers complimentary snacks and drinks they have. I will 100% be back, and am more than satisfied with the outcome of my tattoo. This tattoo studio is definitely the friendliest studio around.

If I could rate this amazing group of artists more stars, I would! I stumbled upon them by chance and haven’t looked back since! Nick is by far THE nicest and most genuine tattoo artist I’ve ever worked with. The environment in the shop couldn’t be more welcoming and accepting of anyone. Most of all, their talent speaks for itself! I highly recommend this shop to anyone and everyone looking for the best of the best in the Knoxville area!!
