I came in as a walk in with a vision and had a budget. I was matched with Kenzie as my artist. She was super attentive, kept making sure I was okay, and was super sweet. She went above and beyond and made sure my tattoo was everything I wanted and more. Highly recommend and will come back for more!! Every tattoo you get here comes with an after care kit and they’re super informative about aftercare!!
Got an amazing tattoo of an owl from Rick. Perfect cover up piece and an expert in his craft. The shop is full of great people and a good vibe. Get a tattoo here for sure!
Belle was absolutely amazing, super sweet, and SUPER patient! I’m very picky about my piercings, but she took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel very reassured with everything! She looked at pictures I had for inspiration and let me take a peak at the placement before proceeding. She talked me through each step and never did anything without me knowing, making the whole process so comforting. It didn’t hurt a single bit, and I’ll definitely be back to see her
Jordan was amazing. I gave her reference photos and she worked with that and gave me a beautiful piece that looks incredible. Not enough good things can be said about Dark Raine! I’ve gotten piercings there before and decided to get my first tattoo here as well.
This was my first time in Dark Raine and the first thing I noticed was how clean the shop was and how personable everyone was from the time I walked in the door to the time I left. If I could give the a 10/10 rating on here I would.Charlie did my tattoo tonight and she did an awesome job. Im super happy with how it turned out and cant wait until heal. I was already talking to her about other tattoos that I have in mind.Thanks again so much Charlie! I have already recommended you to some friends
My daughter had the pleasure of being tattooed by Charlie and this was my daughters first official tattoo since turning 18! Charlie made my daughter feel comfortable and relaxed during the whole process. She also allowed my husband and my other daughter to watch while she was tattooing my oldest daughter. The other artists were also out of this world awesome as well! The whole vibe in the studio makes me want to come back again and again to get more ink. Definitely my new favorite tattoo spot! ❤️🌌
I decided to try this place based on the reviews and I am incredibly happy that I did. I knew what I wanted but overwhelmed myself with pics and couldnt really decide on a style. Matt was amazingly kind and patient and drew up a design that I immediately fell in love with. I honestly couldnt be happier with this beautiful piece of art. Also, the people and overall vibe there are top notch. Ive already recommended Dark Raine and Matt to several friends and will continue to do so.
Welcoming place with wonderful people there! My first tattoo and I worked with Charlie and she made it a very comfortable experience!! Now my sister and I have matching tattoos and it looks awesome!!!!
First tattoo, Ive ever gotten and couldnt be more happier. Came out absolutely incredible, fantastic work by Matt.They walk you through the after care, and make sure youre looked after.Thank you again guys,Jack.
Bella was who I came to see for my septum piercing! I was referred by her sister and she did amazing. She prepared me for everything that could and would happen before I got it done and it was done in about 5 seconds. She was super sweet! I’d recommend her to anyone wanting it done.
Wonderful girls, Charlie and Bellex! They told me everything I needed to know on care and healing time. Charlie removed a rejecting chest dermal without any pain!!! Bellex did a great job on my Helix piercing! I love it and I will be back. Thanks
Very very very professional atmosphere, all the artists were very nice and welcoming and friendly, Rick did an outstanding job with a small piece.Very quick but very very impressive work. 15/10 recommend for anyone in the Clarksville area.
Belle pierced my friend and I and we had the best experience! Lively, fun, and friendly! Great conversation, beautiful jewelry, and very clean! She even re-did my marks as many times as we needed to make them perfect to my specifications. Absolutely amazing work, highly recommend! ^_^
Belle did an amazing job on my eyebrow! It was painless and she was so cool! She had pierced my nose and ears before and did a phenomenal job! Today she did my eyebrow and fixed two old piercing that I did by myself and she was SO AMAZING! I can’t wait to go back to dark Raine! All the staff is so friendly and nice and the environment there is so clean and professional but also super fun!🤩
I walked right in to get my navel (belly button) pierced by belle; the paperwork was fast and simple, Belle was very thorough and helpful throughout the process and with answering any questions I had. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming I felt at home as soon as I walked in and never felt like they were strangers. The entire establishment is beautifully decorated and clean. 10/10
Got my first tattoo here on the friday the 13th flash! absolutely love it! turned out amazing! charlie, the owner of the shop, did my tattoo and she was very sweet and accommodating. whole shop staff was very friendly! highly recommend!
Matt was friendly and efficient. On a busy night he still got me in and freehanded my tattoo which was beyond expectations.
I walked in today with no appointment and everyone was so friendly. Stranger was able to do my tattoo right away and it was exactly what I wanted. He is really fantastic! Great artist and very comfortable to be around. My tattoo turned out beautifully! Thank you so much to Stranger and everyone at Dark Raine Tattoo! I will definitely be back.
Charlie was incredible!, she brought my vision to life with her amazing artistic ability!. I am so in love with my tattoo. The staff was super fun and inviting, just all around good vibes.
I absolutely loved it here. It was my first time getting a tattoo and the atmosphere was lovely. My tattoo artist was Matt Jewell and he did a phenomenal job on my tattoo. Ive only had it a short while and Ive gotten tons of compliments on it. Its a leaf sheep glitter tattoo (a type of sea slug) and Matt came up with the design himself. I 100000% recommend getting a tattoo here and if you want something thats cartoonish go with Matt. His handle on insta is GETTIN_INKY. Feel free to check out his stuff yourself. Ill be attaching a pic of the tattoo as well.
I took my daughter in to get her ears pierced for the first time.. Belle was absolutely amazing. She was very patient. My daughter didn’t want to get her second one done so we ended up leaving, a few hours later my daughter wanted to try again and Belle was very sweet and patient again with her. Will definitely be coming back for future piercings
I’ve came to Dark Raine for two tattoos and two sets of piercings. Belle was my piercer for both sets and was so quick and accurate I will definitely be going back to her for more! Her recommendations for jewelry and aftercare are more detailed than any other shop I have been to. She also has so many cute upgraded jewelry options. I had a tattoo done by Jesse at the Tattoo Expo. He was quick and it healed very nicely, exactly what I wanted down to the white details in the shading! Matt did an American Traditional tattoo for me that turned out AMAZING! The colors are saturated and the lines are so clean. The tattoo is exactly what I wanted. The overall energy of the studio is just happy and very enjoyable to be in and around the awesome people who work there. THANK YOU!!
Bellex was awesome and did an eyebrow re-piercing that had rejected previously for my son, she provided us education on how and why it happened, as well as piercing some sick snakebites! Super gentle, very thorough, loved my experience! This would be my child’s third piercing on the face, highly recommend!!
I first went to Stranger (at the studio) to shade a tattoo i had gotten from another artist from another studio. His work is AMAZING and he is a great person all around. I will be going back to him for more work and I will recommend him to anyone looking to get ink
Had work done by Stranger and I can confidently say this is my favorite piece to date. Pictured below are pictures of the tattoo freshly done. The session flew by as stranger kept the conversation going while still producing stellar work. Same can be said of the rest of the staff as everyone was super friendly and cool! I am hoping to get more work from stranger in the future and will be recommending dark raine to anyone that is looking for work done in Clarksville!
I love coming to this shop. The staff is always super friendly. I love all the vendors that have their inventory displayed. I absolutely enjoyed my tattoo session today with Stranger. When I booked my appointment I told him what I had in mind and he didn’t disappoint. My tattoo turned out great!!! I would definitely recommend stranger and the shop to others.
Shop is extremely clean and well kept. The artists and the front desk staff are very friendly and customer service focused. Charlie the owner and an artist took the time to listen to my vision and put my poorly described idea into an amazing piece of art which was better than I could have hoped for. She was fantastic and very attentive to my thoughts and what I wanted in the piece. She made changes on the fly to the art as new ideas and small tweaks were requested. She is an amazing artist and one that not only will I be using again but my wife as well.
I took my daughter today to get her ears pierced for the first time, and the owner was AMAZING! She was so incredibly kind and patient. I’m thankful she helped create a special memory for my daughter. Thank you!
Let’s start by saying this review is on Stranger, and not the shop he works for.Stranger is phenomenal. I have multiple tattoos and he was by far the best artist I’ve worked with. I got a floral sleeve done- his line work is impeccable!His communication is great, he worked with me so well listening, giving honest feedback and arranging my piece to suit my vision! I had so many different ideas but not sure how to go about it as a whole piece and his creativity and eye came up with the perfect piece- and I love it! He’s extremely talented and best of all super chill and down to earth. I sat with him for 8 hours and enjoyed every bit of it. I’m already talking with him about my next session! Highly highly recommend!
I love this place!!! The shop is clean, people are amazing! Bella is as kind as she is talented! I was in and out of her chair in 10mins, she even took the time to look over older piercings that had started giving me trouble.
Everyone was friendly and professional. I went here for my first tattoo and they made sure that I understood the whole process from design to aftercare. Jesse put together a design that wax exactly what i envisioned. I was surprised that it didn’t hurt.
Very very excited with how my tattoos came out!! Literally a last minute trip and they took me right in!!! Everyone was SO nice and welcoming! Jessie did such an amazing job and his work is so amazing!! Definitely recommend this place a thousand times!!❤️
Belle was super professional and very helpful when I had to get all my piercings switched for retainers for nursing school. She was quick and fun to talk to. I’ll be back when it’s time to put them back and get another piercing haha!
Came in on a Sunday (Walk-in day) and me and 2 roommates got 3 tattoos all together! The team is so friendly and the atmosphere is so chill. They also gave us all aftercare products! This is the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had.
Kenzi did an amazing job on my my tattoo. Her line work is impeccable. Her shading OUTSTANDING. She came in strong with a lot of confidence and knocked it out the bag. And she has great conversation so its not boring the whole time. 10/10 would recommend. Def coming back again.
Very friendly front counter staff and a great artist, Kenzie that was willing to accommodate our different styles of tattoos. She made sure that we loved her design and printed off multiple sizes to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. When Kenzie noticed I was getting bored she let me watch minions making my first tattoo a great experience. Highly recommend.
I have never been somewhere that I instantly felt welcome. When I walked into the shop I was immediately greeted by “Tiffany” a gorgeous gal with beautiful red hair. She’s incredibly kind and even helped me choose the jewelry for my Tragus piercing. The piercing expert / pro “Belle” is so beautiful and was rocking an outfit I could never imagine pulling off. She pierced my Tragus (barely even felt it) and it’s also my most FAVORITE piercing in my ears (I have a total of 12). I immediately told Belle about the other piercings I like and she was honest with me about each one. She let me know if I had the anatomy for certain piercings and I never even knew that was a thing. Most piercers just say “lay down” and do the piercing to line their pocket. Belle wasn’t like that at all and she picked out the coolest jewelry for my future piercings (some of which I’ve gotten since my first visit). Charlie the shop owner is so incredibly cute and happy. Her smile is super contagious, I found myself smiling from ear to ear talking to her! She’s absolutely adorable with her pigtail buns and face tattoos it’s so awesome she rocks it like whoa! Charlie had some time between clients and I talked her into tattooing “41” on my neck. It didn’t hurt at all! I didn’t know she started when she said all done. The best part is they sell these aftercare kits that made my life a whole lot easier. I’ll definitely be back as the environment was absolutely amazing. I’ve already been planning my next tattoos and piercing with all the artists. You just need to meet them all! Thanks guys!!! Definitely recommend!
I loved the vibes! 10/10 recommend and the music was fire. All the artest were nice and Charlie reworked my inspo pic to match what I wanted. Charlie made sure the line were straight, very clean and very detailed.
My favorite shop in town! Every artist I’ve worked with here has been kind, considerate, and understanding throughout the whole process. Each artist I have worked with has taken the time to give me a unique design and always makes sure I am comfortable. The environment is very welcoming too!
I seen both Jordan and Belle for a tattoo and piercing. Jordan is a very talented artist who did my tattoo. Very light handed with the needle. I will be back for more! Belle is a wonderful piercer who made my experience very pleasant in a very painful situation.
I went to Dark Reine just to get a new nose ring for my nostril piercing and ended up getting an amazing tattoo done by Steven. Not only was he incredibly good at customer service and handling questions, his work was absolutely insane! I’m so lucky he was willing to let me do a walk in. I also really appreciated the level of cleanliness and care they put into their business here, not once did I feel unsure about getting a tattoo done by them or unsafe in my environment. This is a really good place to get tattoos or piercings done.The piercer Lexi was also really nice and helped me pick out a good style of nose ring for my face. Very happy with everything I had done here today!
If you’re looking to get a tattoo you need to go see Jordan at Darn Rhain tattoo. Jordan does amazing work and will most definitely be back. The staff is awesome and pleasant to work with. Highly recommended
Jesse was a redeeming quality. Maybe not the best choice for 3 older sisters on a girl’s vacation. The waiting area, though tasteful furniture, was loud and vulgar. Music played might be considered offensive to some. Jesse was patient, kind, and artwork we requested was simple (10 minutes of work) and there was a $100 minimum, even for the simple design. Then they insist, non negotiable $25 care kit per person, even if you already had tattoos before. That was a surprise and between the 3 of us, we went home with $75 of ‘required’ supplies. Erg! However, we are all happy with the work and Jesse was great with us!
Charlie took me as a walk-in for this small piece. She was so kind when I told her it was to commemorate my late Fathers birthdate. The whole process was quick and professional. I will absolutely go back to see her in the future.
I had an appointment with Stranger today and I can’t even begin to explain how great of an experience I had. The tattoo looks fantastic, the shop was very clean, everyone was very welcoming and seemed to enjoy being there! I’m beyond happy and would recommend anyone to contact him for their next tattoo!
I brought my 7 year old daughter to get her ears pierced, & got my septum done as well. Belle did such a fantastic job and my daughter is still so excited hours later.The shop overall is exactly the vibe I was hoping to find. It is spotless, yet has a really comfortable environment. Everyone is so friendly at this studio, and the artwork inside is dope.I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Dark Raine, highly recommend, & I will definitely return.
Jordan is fantastic!! Very personable and just an amazing individual and up and coming tattoo artist. Couldn’t be happier.
Let me tell you!! I went in to get one piercing. ONE. but belle the piercer was so amazing i got two. lol I did my septum and didnt even feel it. it was so smooth. it was great. and i also got a regular nose piercing. which if youve had isnt as fun. i already had one side of my nose done, but she did it soooo much better. way less pain than the first piercer. if you are thinking of getting a piercing... please just do yourself a favor and got to dark rain. you wont regret it.
I got my very first professional tattoo here. I got tattooed by Charlie and she done absolutely amazing. She was so respectful and helpful the entire time. I definitely recommend this place.
I cannot recommend Dark Raine Tattoo Studio and tattoo artists enough! From start to finish, I had an overall great experience. The staff is very knowledgeable and very thorough regarding paperwork, before and aftercare, appointments, and payments.Initially, my husband and I took my son to get his ears pierced and had seen Stranger working on a client. Strangers attention to detail was very noticeable, and something that stood out instantly. Stranger gladly answered our questions while he had time. We explained an idea of what we both kind of wanted and had shown him a few pictures. He explained what he could and couldnt do depending on the size and placement. Stranger had no problem fulfilling our requests, and he even offered helpful and insightful recommendations. From there, we set up our appointment and paid our deposit.A few days before our appointment, Stranger sent a text message ensuring we would still make our appointment and went over everything we had discussed at our impromptu consultation. Stranger sent a few different ideas, and we agreed on one.The day of our appointment, Stranger had his station set up and ready to go as soon as I sat down in the chair. My portrait took about two and a half hours. There was not much pain because Stranger had a steady and light hand and took his time with his work.When Stranger started on my husbands portrait, he informed us that our portraits would not be exactly the same, which we knew and expected. We were just happy Stranger took such care with his time and attention to detail on such a significant piece.The portrait is of our dog of 13+ years. Her health deteriorated quickly, and we werent able to prepare for her passing. We werent prepared to let her go when we did, and for Stranger to accommodate us and our wishes really did capture the beautiful things we remembered and loved about our precious dog.Additionally, the other artists were great to chat and joke with. They were respectful of one another, and it made for a great environment. From a customers perspective, they are like a tight-knit family who are supportive of one another. Another plus is that the studio is female and veteran owned, and from one female vet to another, Im happy to support such a great business. My husband and I are already planning our next appointment with Stranger!
So many good things to say about Dark Raine. From consultation to completion of my tattoos the experience was wonderful. If you are looking for talented artists, great customer service and a positive, professional atmosphere this is the place! Thank you Charlie and Company! ❤️ Clarksville is lucky to have you guys!
Belle was SO amazing!! She pierced my daughter’s ears and was so patient and kind and did a perfect job!! Highly recommend her!!
Yesterday was amazing to see how Charlie & Steven worked together seamlessly during my 9 hour sleeve session. It looks absolutely amazing! Better than I could have envisioned.
Excellent work! Kenzx did two butterfly 🦋, and they came out perfect. Also, she help me retouch a tattoo a bit I didnt like and it came so perfect.
I had a tattoo done here a while ago and the service that time was excellent but when I went in recently it was way too stressful for multiple reasons.The communication on the part of the artist, Charlie, always fell through. She didn’t respond to my messages for a while and called me 30 minutes before my original appointment time to move it due to not knowing what I wanted. I changed my idea only one time and one month before and instead of doing something with that information a month ago she made it seem like it was my fault she didn’t make a sketch because I was “constantly switching my idea,” which I hadn’t so I don’t know why she told me this. I only messaged her the one time, which she said okay to, and I even went in and made sure my client notes were changed during that time since she wasn’t always quick to respond. Luckily the sketch got done but not until the day of.When I sat down for the actual tattoo I will admit I was in a lot of pain due to scarring and the placement was on the center of my thigh where a nerve is so I was kind of twitching. When she was going through the worst section she told me that I needed to really think if I could sit through it or if I needed multiple sessions because she had another appointment at 5pm. I get chasing that bag but it was a bit much and extremely rude to imply I was being difficult enough to need multiple sessions for a five inch tattoo when we barley started and she was working on the most painful area. I never asked for a break because I was good for the rest of the appointment and she also got up several times to help the apprentices or the front desk, took a lunch break, and took the start of my appointment to do the sketch and a consultation with a potential client instead of making it in advance like the last time I booked with her. I just wanted it done and over with but it felt drawn out by all these factors yet still rushed to meet time.I loved this studio, I love my tattoos, my piercings, the pricing is fair, the staff are great people, and all of them are amazing artists; however, until Charlie has less on her plate and and is less stressed out I wouldn’t recommend booking with her. I love her and her work but I was genuinely so frazzled by the end of my appointment that I can’t do it again.
We took my 6 year old here to get her ears pierced and had an amazing experience. Belle was amazing with her. She made sure we were choosing the right size earrings, talked her through the whole process, and made sure we knew what kind of earrings to choose as her ears get used to wearing earrings. Everything was sterile, which was the reason I chose Dark Raine over Claires. I have two more kids asking for piercings and I cant think of going anywhere else to get them. In fact, when I get my next tattoo, this will most definitely be the place i get it from. Thank you Belle!
Stranger did my very first tattoo, and it was a half sleeve—yet to be finished to be a whole sleeve. He is very understanding, considering I knew little about getting permanent art on my skin. He ensures I am well-informed before, during, and after the tattoo process. He showed me sketches weeks before my appointment and was more than willing to accommodate and make changes if I wasn’t a fan of a piece of the sketch. He’s the subject matter expert; therefore, he also made suggestions so that the tattoo would look optimal on my arm. I can’t wait for the next session. I feel so cool and awesome with my tattoo on my arm now!
Ivan is one the best tattoo artists of all time! I had been looking for quite a while now to find someone to finish the tattoo I had started. He definitely exceeded my expectations! Now for the front desk, originally when my boyfriend went in to try to get a consult with one of the artists they were very rude to him. When I also had my appointment with Ivan they were very rude to me also. They looked at me like I was crazy when I gave them my name,and the tattoo artists name as well. I assume they were acting like this since they were very young in both occasions. The only reason I am not giving this 5 stars is because of the front desk.
Kenzie is an amazing tattoo artist! I am stuck like glue now. Very caring and her line work is amazing. 10/10 recommend
Very friendly and knowledgeable. They accommodated our group, and made each of us very comfortable. The tattoos look great. We would definitely recommend dark Raine Tattoo to friends and family.
Mia is the best there is! Her skill level and personality are unmatched in my opinion. I am always bringing her the most out of pocket ideas! Every single time she takes those ideas and tweaks them into a masterpiece better than I could have invisoned! Not to mention the environment of the shop! Everyone that I came into contact with through out the process were so polite. The decor and vibes of the location itself are also neat! All of the artwork on the walls is very interesting and gives you something new and beautiful to look at with every turn you take in the place! I will forever recommend Mia to everyone I know! Check her and this shop out or youll be sorry!
Awesome artist :Jordan Luvingoud.Tattoo. clean friendly atmosphere, upbeat people, excellent tattoos by Jordan. Highly recommend for all your ink needs.
Stranger was my tattoo artist for this piece and I couldn’t be any more happier than I am with it and the experience. Very friendly and easy going. I felt very comfortable and at ease sitting in the chair to get this worked on. Very talented young man. Thank you so much and I can’t wait to finish it!
Got my first back piece done by Jordan. The process from start to finish was fantastic and friendly, I even fell asleep during my session. 10/10 would recommend Jordan and the shop! Will be back specifically for Jordan
Dark Raine has an amazing atmosphere from the metaphysical shop in the lobby to the friendly staff. Jaime did my knee tattoo and it turned out so well! She consistently checked in on me to make sure I was doing ok because it definitely didn’t feel to great 😅I highly recommend Dark Raine and Jaime! Go check them out!
This is the best tattoo studio I’ve been to in Clarksville. Everyone there was super nice and welcoming. Jamie is an incredible artist who’s done multiple pieces for my wife and I. Highly recommend both her and the studio, and I can’t wait to go back for my next appointment.
I cant say enough good things about Dudley and this shop! The vibe here is so much fun; theres so much near artwork to enjoy and all the artists and friendly and had me laughing the whole time. Dudley is AMAZING. She spent so much time with me, has an incredible eye for detail, and a very gentle hand. Shes kind, patient, and easy to talk to. Ill never be tattooed by anyone else again!!
Charlie did mine and my sisters tattoos and they are fantastic. Cant recommend her enough and all the workers here are so nice and very informative.
Mia is AMAZING!! we chatted on instagram, and she got me in so quickly! this was my first tattoo and she was so nice and helpful and did a fantastic job!! everyone working was so nice, funny, and friendly. the atmosphere is awesome and laid back. 10/10 recommend! ♥︎♥︎
Belle was very knowledgeable. I had gotten a previous nose piercing that was not the correct size. Belle helped me pick out the perfect fit for my smaller nose.
Dudley was my first artist at this location, and did a thigh piece for me. Not only was she super talented but also detail oriented! I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the cleanliness of the shop. My tattoo is dope AF, and I will be going back! 😃She also did my three friends themed frog tattoos in the same day! 17 hours in her beast mode of superb-ness!
Stranger is absolutely amazing. He gives you very realistic expectations with bringing your ideas to life and how many sessions will be needed. His work speaks for itself. 10/10 recommend every single time.
Awesome place! They will work with you. Highly Recommend Jordan! Def will be coming back!
I highly recommend. All the staff members are friendly. The shop is super clean. Everyone gets along and has a great time all while doing excellent tattoos.
10/10 got exactly what I wanted & asked for. Jordan was my artist she was super sweet and did a really great job. Will be coming back in the future.
Very welcoming and entertaining tattoo shop. The staff are friendly and the artists enjoy conversing with the clients. Stranger did an absolutely killer job with my tattoo! Would definitely come back for my next piece.
Very nice atmosphere and I had Charlie who was amazing and I love the tattoo! Will definitely be returning!
She was so amazing!!! I got two nostril piercings and she did them perfectly!
Jamie is an AMAZING tattoo artist! My friend and I were walk-ins and I chose a geometric double triangle tattoo with a scenery background and she did it perfectly! I have a patchwork sleeve and she is by FAR the GENTLEST tattoo artist I’ve EVER had!! She revised the original tattoo I picked out and I love her work more than the original! She was super chill and a great conversationalist as well. I highly recommend her and their prices are very reasonable also!
The front desk personnel were super polite, as well as the artist. Great space for getting ink as well as having decent conversations and laughing. Definitely a splendid atmosphere.The artists are definitely talented in designing exactly what you are looking for or what ideas you’re trying to put down on paper.
The tattoo shop was very clean, all the artists were very welcoming, and you really could tell they took pride in their work. I got my tattoo done by Stranger and he was amazing very informative about the aftercare. During the tattoo he was very professional and made sure to walk you through everything he was going to be done. Would 10/10 come here again to get a tattoo.
First time I went here, very welcoming and so friendly! I had Jordan she did absolutely amazing!
Great service, fast and efficient work jordan was great love her work and will definitely recommend her work to others
This is easily one of the best tattoo shops that I’ve been to. That’s saying a lot since I’ve been to quite a few whether that’s getting some work done on me or watching someone else get work done. The customer service was amazing, the atmosphere was amazing, the overall experience was amazing. They make it feel like home in the shop, that’s always a green flag when you’re coming in for a tattoo. Everyone in the shop has a level of professionalism that I have yet to see until I came to this place. My artist (Stranger) was very understanding, we were able to communicate breaks very easily, very professional during our first interaction whether in was in the dms of Instagram or when I first walked into the shop. This is the only shop where i’d let every artist in there tattoo me and I’m VERY picky about who sticks that needle into my skin. But, overall if you’re ever in Clarksville, TN or want to travel here for some odd reason, I highly highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely come back here from now on to get some work done, whether it’s by having an appointment months out or if there’s some walk-in availability.10/10 experience
Great work, great environment! Matt is awesome!
I got my first piercing in KC and in less than 24 hours it fell out. I was able to walk in to get a proper size stud and more info and care and cleaning than I got before. Staff was very knowledgeable and super friendly!
Me and my husband both had tattoos done this weekend. The staff was extremely helpful and professional. Omar did my husbands tattoo and Dudley did mine. We could not be any more happy with how they turned out. We will definitely go back if we ever get anymore tattoos!!! A+++
Kenzie and the whole staff was absolutely Amazing!! Perfect choice for a tattoo!!
Charlie did my tattoo, and she absolutely killed it! Everybody there was so amazing! Great people and great atmosphere! I definitely will be going there again and will be recommending them to everybody!
Bellex did a septum for myself and my daughter. Super easy and awesome! She recommended super cute jewelry and got everything done quickly and professionally!
The shop atmosphere is great, everyone is super friendly. Jordan gave me an amazing death moth tattoo on my arm(now my favorite tattoo)
Recommended by a buddy of mine, tattoo came out great. Rick was the artist and was super friendly and charismatic the second I walked in!
Ive been following Stranger for a while and was finally able to get inked by him. His fine lines and attention to detail are phenomenal!! Seriously, dont sleep on this guy!! His realism is the absolute best!! Everyone in the shop was super friendly and accommodating!!
Stranger, my tattoo artist was amazing! He was professional, and made sure I was comfortable. He kept the conversation going to distract me from any pain. His work was amazing, I love my tattoo.
I highly recommend, Bellex was a great piercer. My piercings were very quick and she was very informal about after care.
Studio was extremely friendly and clean! Belle did a great job with my son’s ear piercing. She explained every step and answered all his questions!
Jesse did absolutely amazing on a fine line angel number tattoo. Super fast super detailed and very welcoming!
Bellex was amazing. Super quick and friendly. She made sure it was as painless as possible for a nose piercing. Thank you so much!
We went as a walk in and we left with our new artist here in clarksville. jesse fit us in quickly and was amazing with his line work! we will definitely be back
Loved the artist Steven’s attention to detail and how he listened attentively to the specifics of what I wanted. He knows his craft well, and executes it masterfully. Everything at the shop was very clean and sanitized. It was overall a very pleasant experience!
Stranger did an amazing job. Got my dogs portrait done on my thigh and It’s gorgeous. He’s a great artist and nice person. Had a good time. Thanks so much.
Jamie W. was my artist. While my design was very simple, she is an absolutely amazing artist. She did amazing lines for me and is friendly, clean, and professional. Ask to see her portrait tattoos. Stunning! Absolutely recommend.
My girlfriend Was a little concerned about getting a tattoo here at first but Katrina Had been a out of shop artist and my girlfriend wanted a girl to do some Nautical stars on her wrist it would be and cover up for someone had put some stars on at a party not knowing what he was doing we came into the shop and it was well ran dark Rian tattoo and I can tell the owner holds a high Standard good thing to because I was on the hook to fix this for her birthday and this was her second tattoo and the fist one was bad Katrina made my life easy and thank you for your Patience and time and reassuring everything would be good which it was
Salem did an amazing job on my double helix. It was painless, she took her time and made sure I was happy with the placement and even gave me a minute in between the piercings to make sure I was feeling okay. She makes sure you leave knowing how to care for the piercings and is super knowledgeable. I appreciate the thoroughness so much!
I got my first tattoo done at Dark Raine and Jesse did an amazing job. Thank you so much!!
Matt did an awesome job on my phoenix tattoo. He made me comfortable and had me laughing the whole time.
Violet did an amazing water color HP deathly Hollows tattoo for me. She was fun to sit for and the atmosphere at the studio was beyond amazing.Gaia also did a beautiful tree of life for me. She’s one to watch for folks it was only her 3rd tattoo on real skin and it was awesome. Both artists took their time, talked to me and made me feel comfortable.
Charlie is the best. Great experience and energy. Definitely coming back
Everyone is literally so amazing. they’re all so fun and very helpful. love jesse!! did my tongue piercing
To begin with this review is about Stranger. He is by far one of the best artists I’ve worked with. He was very personable, very easy to talk to, and very easy to work with. His line work is absolutely amazing and the color work is impeccable. I’m so happy with my tattoo. I cannot wait to set up another appointment with him.
Jesse was absolutely awesome doing pieces for my wife and nieces. Would absolutely recommend him and Dark Raine to anyone looking for tattoos, whether your first one or one hundredth.
Super kind and helpful. made my moms first tattoo experience a positive one 🤍
Staff was super friendly to my sister and I and we loved our experience🤍 thank you for helping us capture something very special to us!
Walked in for a small memorial piece. Chibi was available and did a phenomenal job, and had very gentle hands. Super pleased with wuality of service and friendliness of the artist and other employees.
Salem is so amazing! I’m never going to anyone else. Her vibes are phenomenal, and she’s the sweetest person ever! I bug her every month to switch out my nose ring, and she never complains
From Memphis TN to Clarksville TN, Dark Raine Tattoo is the place to go! Customer Service was amazing! Jasmine and I Enjoyed our interactions with the team. Big shoutouts to Matt, Sammi, & Belle! Thank you so much. We will see y’all again! ❤️
My husband and I came here for the Friday the 13th gumball flash sale and we had so much fun. The staff were super nice and all of the artists are very talented. The place is very clean and sterile. I cant wait to come back here for more work!
I recently had the pleasure of getting my ear pierced by Salem, and I couldnt be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and at ease. Salem was incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the process and answer all of my questions. The studio itself was clean and well-maintained, which further added to my confidence in their professionalism. The piercing itself was quick and virtually painless, and the aftercare instructions provided were clear and easy to follow. I am absolutely thrilled with the final result and would highly recommend Salem Piercing to anyone looking for a top-notch piercing experience.
Jesse did a fabulous job on my Harry Potter themed tattoo! I love the colors and he was so patient when I wanted to make changes to the layout after seeing it on my arm. I will definitely continue to go there for my future tattoos!
Me and my husband were walkins and we were treated great. Matt and Katerina took us both on and drew up our ideas and got us back right away. The atmosphere here was great. We laughed and joke the whole time he was tattoo me. Highly recommend him!
I had a memorial piece did this evening by Omar and he knocked it out the park y’all!! This is my 2nd tattoo here and I am throughly impressed with their work . We had Dudley the first time and we were impressed.The studio is very clean. People are very friendly ! Just very pleased thank you !! We will be back!!
Such a great experience. i got my septum done by another person at a different tattoo shop and it was completely messed up. i then came here to get my septum checked out to see what could be done, and it had to be completely redone, came back a week later and Charlie and Salem did my septum and my boyfriends and did fantastic. they were nice, very friendly, professional and extremely helpful. it looks so good and i’m so happy with it! definitely go here for piercings, i saw some people getting tattoos on the way into the room to be pierced and they looked extremely good, definitely a good place for tattoos as well!
I went tonight as a walk in. From checking in, during my session, and afterwards, everyone made it very inviting.Steven did my tattoo and showed so much knowledge. He made sure I liked everything about the placement and design before he started. I will 110% return to the studio, and to Steven himself to have more work in the future.
I got my belly button peircing done by bellex and she was AMAZING! I love the environment and the staff is super friendly.
Recently got a new tattoo by Mia at Dark Raine Tattoo Studio. I have 2 tattoos done by her and I love them so much! Mia is great at making me feel listened to and very relaxed during the tattoo process, constantly checking in that Im doing good and offering breaks if needed.Thank you so much Mia!
Very quick and attentive. Bellex was my piercer and she did great.
My daughter (7yo) got her ears pierced at Dark Raine Tattoo and the experience was top notch. she was apprehensive at first, and our piercer (Lexy/Salem) was great with her. she was patient and kind, and talked her through the whole process. afterward, everyone in the shop complimented my daughter and she was thrilled. she said everyone there was so nice, and she’s in love with her new earrings!
This studio has some of the best artists in town. They’re extremely friendly while still maintaining professionalism. I definitely recommend them, and especially recommend Charlie which is who I used. Her creativity is by far the most impressive I have ever seen. I told her I wanted a theme and she put something together and made it happen. The other artists are still extremely talented and have great work. Be sure to consider them for you next tattoo project.
These guys have 5 star reviews for a reason. Matt was PHENOMENAL at finishing my tattoo and Jesse swapped out some jewelry and was so pleasant to deal with. Everyone is awesome and feels like you fit right in. Will be back!
Stranger did a great tattoo for me in memorial of my cat angelis. Super gentle and im very happy with it.
S4LEM was my piercer and she was absolutely amazing!Made me feel welcomed and joked around with me so I didn’t feel so nervous!Amazing care and prep before the piercings. Plus she’s hilarious!!Great place and will definitely return
Charlie was absolutely amazing! Will definitely go back!!
Got my eyebrow pierced by Bellex, she did absolutely amazing! I love the piercing and she was super sweet and adorable! Would absolutely recommend getting a piercing from her! 🫶
I love this shop! They make you feel cared for and relaxed with their casual, yet professional environment. I couldnt ask for a better shop or better artists. They listen well and truly care about their clients. I have had 2 tattoos done by 2 different artists and they turned out amazing! I got tattooed by Dudley and Charlie both and I am so thankful for my amazing experiences and tattoos. I definitely plan to come back!
Absolutely fell in love with this studio immediately! The atmosphere is light and full of great energy. Charlie was amazing and she has such a lively spirit, her smile is contagious. I am very pleased with the work she provided me. Will def be returning soon!
I walked in on a December day. I had a vision in my head that Mia brought to life. The staff was having lots of fun that day but still maintained a professional decorum. My girlfriend and I really loved the vibe and intend on coming back
Just got a tattoo by kenzie highly recommended her She just started out but her work is amazingCant wait to get moreThank you kenzie
I got my tattoo done by Charlie. She did a great rework of my tattoo. Its a great atmosphere from everyone that works there and they are all there to give you the best tattoo and help with ideas.
Great work from Kenzie with good prices and great work plus a good clean relaxed environment to get tattooed in.
Belle was AMAZING!! Gentle, thorough and impressively knowledgeable. Clean establishment and friendly team. Would highly recommend. If you are wanting a piercing, Belle is your girl!!
Jesse was very professional and talented. The shop was clean, great music, and an awesome vibe.
Went for my first tattoo here and Jesse the artist was so kind and sweet and patient with my first tattoo I was so scared and the owner of the shop was just the sweetest ! Thank you for such a great experience
The piercing lady was super helpful and was so friendly I’d recommend this place over anywhere elses
I had a great experience thanks to Salem. I took my 6 year old to get her ears pierced because she begged to get it done. However by the time she got to the chair she was very nervous and tearing up. Salem was patient and kind. She went above and beyond to ensure my daughter was comfortable and she worked fast. My daughter is over the moon about her pierced ears and can’t stop talking about how much she liked Salem.
Steven did a cover up for me today and he did such a great job! Be sure to check him and the other artists out!
I had a wonderful experience here with Mia. Everyone in the shop made me feel so safe and I am more than satisfied with my tattoo! I will be returning in the future 💕
S4lem did an absolutely wonderful job with my daughters first ear piercings! She was thorough in her explanations and my daughter felt comfortable and informed. Definitely recommend coming here!
Matt was so amazing!! I love my recovery tattoo!!
Mia is an amazing artist! I have never stuck with one artist, just hopped all over, but I think she will be my go to person for now. Dark Raine overall is a great studio from their service to cleanliness, decor, etc.
My daughter wanted to get her ears pierced and Salem took awesome care of her. The shop is amazing and everyone was very kind and professional. I will certainly be back for my own piercings in the future! Thanks guys!
Amazing experience! After visiting a highly popular place earlier in the day and receiving a horrible reception, I decided to take the plunge tonight and get an eyebrow piercing at Dark Raine and Im absolutely happy with the results. S4lem, the mastermind behind my new piercing, is perfection. Not only did she handle the whole process with surgical precision (pun, yuck), but her professionalism and overall vibe put me at ease immediately.S4lem has steady hands and extreme attention to detail and the whole process was very fast and painless.The studio itself has a great atmosphere, its absolutely clean with a cool mix of professionalism and creativityFrom the moment I walked into the shop, I felt welcomed and wanted there. The lady at the front desk was prompt, attentive and also professional. And she will make sure you complete ALL the paperwork completely- no matter how much you try to get out of it.I highly recommend!
I went to Stranger for my portrait, he did absolutely amazing!! I was skeptical for years for anyone to do a portrait on me and then I found him. He was super fast. Always checked on me to make sure I was feeling okay, or if I needed a break. Made jokes, just made the whole experience great. I definitely will be back soon!!
Matt did amazing job on mine, my daughter and husbands tattoo
So incredibly happy with my tattoo. Glad I finally found Stranger. Already have my next one planned! The girls were also a blast. Everyone made the hours pass so fast.Update: Had my second tattoo and it was an even better experience! How Stranger does my tattoos with no pain is strange. His work is phenomenal, his humor matches mine, and we always have a good time. Ill update on my third with him in a couple weeks! This guy is going places!!
I would like to say that the building is clean and the staff is very welcoming. Lexi changed my jewelry on my helix and she was very sweet and gentle. Stranger did a whole sleeve tattoo for me in two days . He was amazing. Light handed the whole time and he made sure I was comfortable the whole time . One of the best experiences I have had at a tattoo shop .
Mia has provided me with quality artwork for my patchwork leg sleeve time and time again! Very detailed oriented and light-handed when tattooing so the healing process is always smooth! Cannot say enough good things about this artist!s4lem did a nose piercing for me as well and I’m very happy with the process and placement of the piercing!Shop is full of amazing artwork, decor, and the staff is friendly. Overall, a very well put together studio!
Jesus Stranger did my wife and my tattoo. It is a portrait of a family pet that had been a part of the family for 13+ years. She was like one of our kids. She will be dearly missed but with his talent now she will be with us always. He is an amazing artist. I will definitely be going back and getting more work done here the staff was amazing and great to talk and laugh with.
Stranger Tattoo is my favorite Clarksville artist! He always does a phenomenal job (and he provided sound effects to distract me). He’s very patient with me even though my leg spasms a lot and managed to get this awesome piece done in about 3 hours. The environment of DR is also great! The open space allowed for communication between everyone so after 3 hours I felt like I knew everyone there better than some people I’ve known for years! Super friendly and welcoming.
A great environment with top notch personalities and artists. This team is super talented. I got a piece done by Stranger and it’s my favorite piece yet. He’s a young guy but he’s quickly going to become a “Who’s who” of the tattoo industry. The feedback and editorial process was super relaxed and easy to get a shared vision put together. 10/10 will definitely be back for way more work!UPDATE: a month later, I went back to have Stranger tattoo a soldier PTSD piece for me. Please see the photos below to see his attention to detail with the paratroopers in the distance, his attention to detail with the ripples in the uniforms is truly amazing! Even the subtle details of the helmets and teeth are without comparison. Hands down the best realism artist this side of the Mississippi!
Bellex pierced my septum and it was wonderful! I never even felt it and she was super sweet the whole time making sure I was fine the whole time! Definitely recommend!!
Me and my girlfriend got our septum’s done at another piercing shop and they did a terrible job and we came here to get it redone and hopefully actually come out good, and let me tell you. They did an AMAZING job. Like we were explained everything all throughout the process, we all talked and joked and everyone was friendly, I mean they even gave such great aftercare. I was like sweating terribly from how nervous I was they gave me and my girlfriend gatorade’s and made sure I was okay the whole time. I don’t think I even have to say that our septum’s came out good and THE RIGHT WAY. If you’re going to get a piercing get it here. Thank y’all for the awesome septum’s!
I had found Stranger through a few recommendations and the whole process from start to finish was so easy! He is such an amazing artist with an attention to detail. Everyone in the shop was friendly, they all made conversation and made me feel so welcome. He got me in on pretty short notice and I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone in Clarksville! Thank you again for such a simple, meaningful piece!
Bellex was great. She did my nose piercing and a septum piercing for my 17 year old and mt 26 year old. She was patient, kind, knowledgeable. Thank you Bellex
My wife and I went there to get matching tattoos for our anniversary and had a great experience. Everything From the day we went to set up the appointment till the day we were done with the work was a delite.Charlie was super nice and helpful setting up our appointment. Our artist was Mia and she did a wonderful job. She listened and perfectly executed our idea. She is very talented and friendly. Would 10/10 recommend both shop and artist. Great environment and great people.
Best experience I’ve had , Jesse was so simple easy and fast please come and visit them !!! Especially Jesse !! Btw I got a tongue piercing
Matt killed it! Straight up guy with a natural talent for tattooing, get in the shop asap to see him 🤙
S4lem was great. My daughter got her ears pierced for the first time and youd think it didnt even happen. I got my helix done right after and she was quick. Very informative and honest about everything! Will definitely be back.
Came in for a walk in for an octopus tattoo, Charlie was awesome, I definitely recommend!!
Dark Raine studio is fantastic! We scheduled our group appointment with Mia. The shop was VERY accommodating to our schedule. Mia did a wonderful job. She was so sweet and did an amazing job bringing our vision to life. The staff and atmosphere is fun. Very clean and Mia took care to properly clean her tools in between each of us. I wish I lived closer so she could do more work for me! Keep up the good work! Your shop is full of talent!
This place is absolutely amazing!!! Best tattoo shop in Clarksville hands down every staff person was amazing, such a safe environment.
Stranger tattoo did amazing with these tattoos. The details are immaculate. I 100% recommend him and Dark Raine. Thank you so much!!
Got my throat tattooed by Stranger at Dark Raine. I’m completely in awe of the results!! He completely took all of my ideas and made this piece that was EXACTLY what I wanted! I found him on a Facebook post and he was very fast to respond and book. He communicated through the entire waiting period before the appointment and was very knowledgeable and polite, to say the absolute least. He was very professional and easy to vibe with during the tattoo, not to mention, very fast and using the best technique for minimal pain and speed over all. To say this guy knows his stuff is an understatement!!!! Truly a professional and I will most definitely be seeing him again. Thank you for the AMAZING work!! I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!
Once again, Stranger Tattooo (Jesus) did an amazing job! Always a fun experience and his talent is unmatched. Thank you as always!
Jesse did a great job!! They are always super friendly! It was my second time as a walk-in!
Me and my 2 sisters were walkins and we got to work with Chibi. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of the experience. We all got 2 tattoos each. Chibi was so cool and down to earth plus her work is amazing. Will definitely be working with her again!
Jesse did an amazing job on me and my Bestfriend 10/10 recommend for sure!!
Very detailed work, Rick did a wonderful job with my tattoo as well as just being a funny dude.
Salem pierced my 6 yr olds ears and was so patient and kind with her. Very gentle and warm. She helped keep her calm and my daughter loves them!
Amazing studio, welcoming staff. My artist Jordan was phenomenal, amazing line work and a great artist.
Had a fantastic experience! Jesus is not only extremely talented, hes hilarious too and made the whole appointment really easy going. The shop as a whole had a great atmosphere, was clean, and all the employees were very friendly. I cant wait for my next one there.
My tattoo artist was Charlie but everyone there, and I mean everyone was so nice and welcoming. I felt comfortable and not out of place. I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone! Great service , great tattoos/piercings, just great overall. I am very happy and please with what I left with :)
Stranger was an amazing artist! He made me feel comfortable and was very professional! His work is amazing! He had quick feedback prior to my appointment and very thorough! I will absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a new tattoo!!
A friend told me this shop was amazing, so I stopped in. The staff could not have been nicer from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. Mia came from the back and showed enthusiasm over my idea, and after a brief conversation we set a date and back I came.Mia, you are AMAZING. You brought an idea I had over a year ago and created something better than I had pictured. We sat 8.5 hours, and Mia never wavered. I trusted her judgement and the guidance of fellow artists (Thanks Steve for your wisdom and kindness!). The price was more than fair in my opinion, and Im pretty sure I would have paid whatever Mia said because I have never been happier!! I will be back for more ink, see yall next time!
This is by far the least painful lip piercing Ive had. Salem was extremely gentle. I loved the atmosphere and the art work all over the walls!! I am definitely going back to get my tattoo done next month!!
Charlie did an amazing tattoo to honor my daughter. Im very thankful.
Salem is an amazing piercer and Chibi is one hell of a tattoo artist. Both made me feel comfortable, kept me informed about what was going to happen next, and put me at ease throughout the whole process. These guys rock
Great shop, super clean and professional. Jesse did mine and my girlfriends and both came out excellent. Will be coming back
Best owner/ Artist ever. Love it! Thanks CharlY yes I said Y lol. She will get it.
All I can say is WOW! My artist is Stranger and he is truly blessed and amazing at what he does! So young but so talented, if you’re looking for an artist he is definitely the one you should see. We did this piece in two full days sessions, he got in there and did exactly what he was supposed to do! Truly amazing! Needless to say, he is my new tattoo artist. The shop overall is amazing as well. Everyone was so polite, welcoming and entertaining. The environment was outstanding and the artwork throughout the shop was definitely a sight to see. I will be coming back over and over again! Thank you guys soooo much!
Was looking for a while for a new shop in Clarksville. This is the best one by far. Saw stranger to start my 3rd sleeve today and he absolutely killed it.
I had gone in to get my nose pierced by S4lem and she was very helpful and funny. I had complications due from my own errors and I reached out to her to see what needed to be done. She was super helpful and fast responding. I went back in to fix my piercing (again my own fault) and she gave the best course of action for fastest heal time/what looked best. When I get another piercing I will definitely be going back to see S4lem!
Jordan is the best...hands down!!
Great place to get your first tattoo. Kenzie was fantastic. I love my new tattoo.
I just wanna say, if you are having any piercings done and you do not see Lexy, you are missing out! We went to Dark Raine as a walk-in to get my daughters ears pierced (she’d been begging), and we were greeted instantly and felt welcomed. The whole experience was amazing! When we first got there, they asked my daughter if she wanted her ears pierced and after her giving consent we started the process. She explained everything to where a little one would understand, she got to pick the size of ear rings she wanted, and explained how to take care of them. Through out the entire process of my daughter getting her ears done, she was making sure she was comfortable and ready. I was more afraid than my daughter was. I could not have asked for the experience to go any better or smoother. I highly recommend everyone to go see S4lem!
This was suppose to be a one session tattoo. Turned into another one. Still couldnt finish. Set up two more appointments but after the second appointment my arm was so over worked I had to wait till the 4th appointment time which was a month out from the second appointment. When i arrived for my third appointment Charlie(owner) did not show up on time and never responded to text or call so i decided to leave and have someone else finish it.There is no reason this tattoo should have taken 3-4 full sessions. I highly recommend not going to this shop.Another coworker of mine also had a tattoo done by her and Charlie overworked her tattoo so bad she had to goto the ER because her skin literally fell off. Will be updating with those pictures.
Absolutely beautiful work! We saw Stranger Tattooo (Jesus) and his work is amazing! The rest of the shop is super welcoming and friendly, awesome vibes. Ear piercings were basically painless and quick. Thank you for an awesome day!
Mat is an AMAZING artist & would BEYOND HIGHLY RECOMMEND him !!!
Very cool place, THE BATHROOM IS AWESOME and Salem is a great piercer. THANK YOU DARK RAINE!
I LOVE the tattoo Matt gave me! He was so patient with me to get the design just right!!!
