Ink Theory Tattoo and piercing studio LLC

Excellent job piercing my daughters ear. Very patient with her. Explained the process. Had a stuffy there she could hug during the process (Thanks, Nuts!) Took the time to answer all my aftercare questions. Amazing service. Plan to go back for tattoos myself.

Great service, it was my Fiancés first tattoo and she was very nervous. They were very patient with her and super nice to us. Really recommend this place to anyone

This artist was amazing, Crystal worked with me making a custom piece to cover up my horrible melanoma surgery scar. So happy! She also was great at doing short bursts keeping it as painless as possible. The colors are amazing! Water color of my ❤️ horse who has carried me over 20,000 miles. The art is absolutely the best, with attention to all the details and what I wanted. Thank you so much, I am incredibly happy and look forward to doing more flowers in November!!

Just went in and had my belly button pierced. HIGHLY RECCOMED! The studio was very nice and clean. I was greeted with a smile. The owner was sooo nice and informative. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable during the entire process (which not going to lie, I had a ton of anxiety) I will for sure use them for any ink or piercing needs moving forward.

I took my 14 YO here to have her ears pierced for the first time. Crystal was the perfect balance of professional and sweet. Im not really the typical person you would find at a tattoo and piercing place, but if you need a piercing or tattoo done, I highly recommend this facility!

I had an amazing experience with the Ink Theory Studio. Amazing people are very personable, and I got exactly what I asked for. Shout to Kain for the awesome ink!!

First of all I must say, take your time to think of you are wanting to get on your skin. After you think you know for sure, give Crystal a shot to make it even better. She took my idea and made way beyond my wildest dreams.The time and attention to details that she puts on her art makes absolutely incredible artist. She’s my artist and I wish to share her with all who truly seek for exceptional artists. Tattoos are more than ink on skin, they identify who we are inside and we need more artist like her to transmit the message. Thank you Crystal and I’ll be back soon to continue on. Will post more pictures as the sleeves are done.

Kain did an amazing job. Was my first tattoo and also my daughter’s. Highly recommend him.

Spontaneously got this tattoo yesterday from Kain, and I’m super happy with it. I’ll probably be back to add some color once I get a scheme planned out.

Mike is the man!!! I am no longer a tattoo virgin, I told Mike what I was looking for and he came up with the perfect tattoo. Price was great I will definitely be going back for more work. Thanks Mike I will see you soon!!!!Went back for my 2nd tattoo and one again Mike knocked it out of the park. It was exactly what I was looking for.

Definitely recommend this place crystal does awesome work and everyone there just makes you feel at home and very clean place 5 star for sure

Got my 3rd ear piercing. Very good experience. They were very nice, sweet, fast and efficient.

There is a lot of good things I could say about my experience getting tattooed by Mike here. I have multiple tattoos and I had never learned more from a session than I did with him. Incredibly nice, understanding, knowledgeable and welcoming. I can say for sure that when I’m ready to schedule another tattoo this place will be at the top of my list. I made my appointment here because it was close to my grandfather house but I personally live in South Carolina. Considering the experience I had and how professional Mike was I would drive that distance again simply to be tattooed by him. Making an appointment in this area was different and difficult to say the least, so I would say if your wanting a quality tattoo from professional people who care and have more knowledge than I personally knew was possible I wouldn’t even consider anywhere else. Thanks again Mike!

I messaged Wed evening about getting in for a flash sale piece. They messaged back almost immediately and got me in at noon Thurs with Ashley. She was kind and knowledgeable and did an amazing job on my piece. I will most definitely be going back, in the very near future!

Super friendly and comfortable place and people, I felt welcomed and was helped right away.

Mike was the artist who preformed my tattoo and it turned out exactly how I wanted it! He was so nice and helpful. I’d definitely recommend coming to him if you are seeking to get some art done.

Got this beautiful piece by Mike and man oh man I think this is my favorite piece so far! He did an amazing job!!! The amount of detail is just wonderful! He was super funny and fun to talk with. In fact, everyone there was just fun in general! Thank you sir!! 10 outta 10 my dude! Don’t think I’ll go anywhere else again!!

I had the absolute best experience getting my ears pierced here! I regret not remembering her name, but the lady that did my piercings had the best personality and made me feel so comfortable during the whole process. I will definitely be booking with her for all my future piercings!

I was a bit nervous to get my first tattoo. I didnt need to be. Crystal was very supportive and I love my new artwork. Ill be back.

Really cool vibe, and awesome artists! Professional and clean! Love these butterflies Mike did!

I am absolutely in love with this place and I have DEFINITELY found a shop to get all my work done at. The communication mike has is EXCELLENT and he is very easy to work with, talk to and joke around with. I highly recommend you schedule an appointment here if you actually care about how your work turns out. Mike has a very steady hand and truly creates art. 10/10!!!

I have several tattoos done by Crystal and love them all. She really puts her heart into her work. There is so much talent here! The prices are very fair. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable and friendly. I have friends who have gone to Crystal and they are very pleased with their tattoos as well. Mike is also very talented. His glitter tattoos are awesome. This is the place to go....I will never go anywhere else!

Crystal was amazing and made us comfortable and informative about our piercings... we love her and will be back! Definitely recommend

Crystal is an amazing artist! My two sisters and I went to her for a tribute to our father which she Incorporated my fathers trade mark into our tattoo. It was a wonderful experience for all of us! We will definitely be going back to her! Thank You!

I have nothing negative to say about Ink Theory! I got a nostril piercing, and Crystal was INCREDIBLE. So so professional, calm and clean, and just great all around. Highly recommend!!

I got a tattoo in memory of my brother who we lost last year. I could not be happier with how it turned out. Mike is absolutely amazing! He was even able to use my brothers handwriting for the tattoo, even though I planned for a different font. I have some family members that are about to become customers as well. I will only use this place in the future and look forward to one or two more tattoos from Mike :)

Great people. Great work coming out of this shop!

Crystal and Mike have done most of my tattoos and I will continue to get them done by them. They’re beyond talented and do amazing work. They won’t do you wrong and they are straight forward with you. Great people, great environment, great energy, AMAZING work!

Crystal pierced my daughter’s ears! She did great even with a fighting baby! 10/10 recommend!

Crystal is a true talent. Such an incredible artist and very good at what she does. Why anyone would risk going to somewhere other than Ink Theory, Ill never understand. Ill definitely be back!

If you are wanting good quality work done, this is the shop for you. In all honesty crystal is one of my favorite artists to ever tattoo me, she has a great personality and very skilled at what she does.

Hands down the best place to get ink PERIOD! Crystal helped me pull a full sleeve design out of nothing and it means the world to me!

Not my first tattoo but first one in a long time. They were doing a friday the 13 special and I went and got my Harry Potter tattoo that I am still in love with. I will definitely be back. The were very clean and polite and enjoyable to be around.

My sister and I came there with a couple of ideas for a tribute tattoo for my mother and he took what had and what we said and totally made it ours and unique. Mike was excellent!! Cant wait to return and get the other one!

My favorite place to get the best of the best tattoos! They care so much about the tattoos and how they are apart of you and are going to live with it forever. They are not going to rush anything, from talking about ideas and meanings behind each work of art, drafting the piece, and actually working on it.

Mike was super helpful when it came to ideas for my tattoo. Was super knowledgeable and I learned a lot of things I hadn’t known before. Of course my tattoo turned out great I love it. Highly recommend ink theory.

The lady that pierced my daughters nose was freaking amazing! She made it a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend ink theory to anyone for tattoos and piercing.

This shop has a great atmosphere. They work with other shops with special events. The artist here do amazing work. Customer work and amazing tattoo. The shop is always clean and inviting. The owners are such wonderful people and love what they do.

Love it, I dont go anywhere else to get my ink. Very clean and precise. And mike always trys to fit you in. Just love crystal

If you want work done this is the place. My daughter and I came in to get matching tattoos and they did an awesome job. Mike is awesome and the place is immaculate. I will for sure be back.

Went in with my girlfriend for a tattoo. Layla was absolutely amazing and did an extremely beautiful tattoo on her! It was a very detailed moth and is awesome!!!

I got my first tattoo here by Crystal,she was so helpful and kind when it cane to what I wanted to do,her execution was flawless and the piece came out happier than I could have ever dreamed of.I highly recommend going to her store and being tattooed by her.

Great place, very clean and wonderful artist. I drive from North Georgia to Athens, TN just for them. Everyone I have taken, beg to go back. Stop by, make a friend and get a new tattoo or piercing. Dont take my word for it, find them on Facebook and check out the work.

I went this morning for a very sentimental tattoo and she was amazing. The tattoo is perfect. Will definitely be using them again.

Ive gotten my vertical labret done and it has healed up amazingly, the instruction for aftercare are simple and I didnt have trouble with it healing. The whole process was quick and easy.

Went in to get my lobes done today, everything was nice and clean. My piercer was tolerant of my mom, and walked me through everything calmly. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it.

Crystal and Mike are both great artists with affordable prices. I have several pieces by Crystal and my husband has some by Mike. We love this shop!

Crystal is my go to artist!! I live in Charleston SC and I wait till I’m in TN to get tattoos from her and Mike! If that doesn’t say something idk what will! She can do anything you need!

Very nice place! Awesome people! Love my tattoos! Cant wait to go back for my next tattoo!

This is a very nice place. She was so good, my tongue piercing was pretty much painless. I had an amazing experience and would 10/10 recommend!

Crystal and Mike are the best! Ive had work done by both of them and they are the only artists that I use now. Love them!
