American Ink

Best of the BEST! Believe it or not this is a cover up! I will never go anywhere else! Absolutely LOVE my new ink! John made me Comfortable from beginning to end! Great work, great guy, place!

I got a navel piercing. It was my first time getting a piercing besides ears and Dave was very nice and professional. I felt a bit woozy (normal for me) after I got it done and he was very supportive. Would recommend you get a piercing here.

Late to the review but great place to get inked up John is a badass artist highly recommend he’s done two of my pieces so far and I absolutely love them get compliments all the time! Will continue going to him for all my tattoo needs!

The Best Artists in Chattanooga! The cleanest most professional in town. Book your Appointments. The work is amazing. Already booked my next appointment. ❤️

I got my first tattoo and Tom was great! He has 25+ years of experience and was very thorough in explaining the process. He is also kind and clean. I will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home talented and knowledgeable artist.

Thats the most fun place to be, the artist was very friendly he made me feel very comfortable, he gave me a tattoo to cover a scare I see no sign of the scare I love it just love it. This the place you should go to get your tattoo plus he is very honest . So black people he do welcome you.

Jeff was so awesome he was very courteous and professional he done my tattoo in about 1 1/2 hour will go back for my next one and schedule only with jeff thanks

John is a fantastic tattoo artist. And hes very talented. He helped with the placement of my new tattoo. I am completely in love with this portrait of my brother. I definitely recommend John. And I definitely will be seeing him again for my next ink sessions

John has done almost all of my tattoos and I love every one of them! Hes a great artist, very friendly and funny. Definitely plan on returning soon.

The owner is an excellent artist. He will be extremely candid if you are not making a good decision and will guide you to get your vision. He is not a person to do whatever for a dollar, he has integrity and wants your permanent artwork to be great. I have several pieces he has done and love each one

I have 48 tattoos and several piercings and John has done all.of them, save one piercing. Hes extremely talented and has great prices. Hell work with you to give you the perfect tattoo.

I actually heard of John from my brother who has multiple, MULTIPLE tattoos from him. John was doing a worst tattoo contest to cover up a horrible tattoo for free, I won through alot of effort and let me tell you the BEST thing i ever won!!! I love my cover up!! He took something hideous and made it beautiful and something Im proud to display! since then he is the only artist i will use! Hes very knowledgeable about what hes doing and makes suggestions cause he knows what would work better than me. I also loved the cover up so much i turned it into a half sleeve that is bright, vibrant, and gorgeous and get complimented daily on it!! I just wish i had known about him before my other tattoos! John youre awesome!!

I have several tattoos done by John the owner and so does my husband. He is the best tattoo artist in town hands down i will never go anywhere eles. He puts pride into his work and wants you to have the best experience possible, he will let you know his honest opinion on what you are choosing and he will only do the tattoo if it is correct for the placement,size,color, and so on. He is there to give you a beautiful piece of art that carries his name on you forever, so remember its your body but its his work and name that you carry on!

I have gone a few times for a couple of tattoos. John and his wife are super welcoming and kind, and will give their honest opinions. I dont think I could ever go anywhere else for my tatts cause I feel so comfortable here!

Best tattoo experience ever! John was awesome and I got exactly what I wanted. The tattoo is beautiful and a perfect tribute to my Nana. Will definitely go back when it’s time for my next tattoo!

John does amazing work! He will forever be my go to artist

I highly recommend John he did a great job on my ankle tattoo!!! He was very funny and kept me calm lol would Definitely go back to see John for another tattoo ..... thank you John for being honest and up front about everything!!

This place is the best place to go for tattoos hes professional and clean

I had a great experience at American Ink. Tiffany took time to listen to what I wanted and work with me until I was confident in the design and placement. She did a really great job and I love my tattoo!

Had a few tattoos done by John. My last experience was very good. The tattoo was for my late father. Good piece but the mouth was tatted crooked.

Me and my friend went here to get a tattoo and the guy that did our tattoos didn’t use a shader needle to shade, he used a liner to shade with. Now my tattoo is somewhat scarred and half of it is darker than the rest and there’s spots where he missed in the tattoo.

I walked in and the guy was playing the Xbox & he never made eye contact with me for the majority of the time I was speaking to him. Then throughout the conversation he got a very nasty attitude. I will not be giving them any business, not to mention the interior is extremely off putting.

We called American Ink spur of the moment and the owner and staff was very nice and friendly and let us come right on in and talked with us about the piercings we wanted.Would definitely come back.Thanks again.

I got a tragus piercing here a few days ago and the bead attached to the bar has recently fallen off numerous times. Ive tried putting it back on, but it just wont stay attached. Ive called multiple times to see if theres anything they can do about it, but no one answers the phone! Their answering machine says theyre open Tuesday - Saturday, and Ive tried calling on Wednesday and Thursday, but no luck. Its very frustrating to be a paying customer and have no service. Food for thought, guys.

John did a tattoo cover-up for me last week. He was professional & did a GREAT job. It is just what I asked for & I couldnt be more satisfied.

Having multiple professional gentlemen around speaks volumes about your experience during your ink therapy! I highly recommend them! Melissa⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

John (the owner) is an incredible artist. He is opinionated but he knows his stuff.

I recommend this place to anyone wanting quality work! They do great tattoos and its a nice clean shop!!!

He makes you feel at ease very friendly and professional. Quality art at a good price. Would highly recommend will be going back again.

I called and asked questions about my nose piercing and whoever was on the phone acted like an ass and blamed me for why it got infected. He wouldnt even listen to what I had to say before interrupting and being rude.

The owner is awesome. He was very friendly and gave me a bunch of advice about my piercing. Will be using them in the future!

Tiff did an amazing job on my bday/halloQueen tattoo! Went above and beyond, deff hope to be back in chattonooga N her work on me again! Xoxo Richie Richards

Tiffany was the best tattoo artist Ive ever had. Shes a fantastic artist, and very personable. The shop was great too!

Very professional, sanitary, and friendly environment, love Jeffs work! Highly recommended checking them out.

Jeremy Is the best tattoo artist.

John Sr. is amazing. His work is definitely unique and he has a gentle touch.

Negative -5 stars!!! Guy was an ASS & scared me deep!! Id rather pay more for better customer service & better quality art work!!!

Aaron Card, He is truly an artist! Did awesome work today!! Thanks so much

I was there to get a gun tattoo n told him which one I wanted and I was sitting down getting my tattoo and he gave me a totally different gun that I was asking for and then free hand the waves and my lining is very faded n not straight I wish I could get my money back I’m not happy with this tattoo

As good as it gets! Clean, excellent staff! Unbelievable artist!

Rude always have a bad attitude no wonder his whole faculty quit on him. Hes a rude bitter person for no reason at all.

John was very resourceful and eager to help. He answered all of our questions and was outgoing. Thank you.
