Bleed Blue Ink

I have been tattooed by Katie and Robbie - both are great artists! The shop is clean and tidy and they have treated me so well! My larger tattoos were done by Robbie and he went above and beyond to ensure I had a great tattoo experience. Katie did my script on the back of my arms and I love it so much! Overall great experiences and I will be back. I would recommend any of the artists here to my friends or family. Very knowledgeable and talented.

I’ve had so so many great experiences here! I came for my first tattoo and never strayed! Katie and all the artists in the shop do such amazing work! Atmosphere is very welcoming and down to earth! I couldn’t recommend this place enough!!!

Katie is amazing!! Walked in and she made me feel like I had known her for years. Did an amazing job on my tattoo! She will definitely be my go to for my next piece.

Katie was so sweet and funny! Also stayed very late at the shop to make sure me and my friends could get our tattoos for the flash sale. So much fun and would definitely come back:)

Hands down, the best tattoo shop ever!!We ventured into the shop late one evening right before closing and they worked me in and made us feel so at home!This place is beyond accommodating and hospitable even when we bring the kiddos! They offer them snacks and drinks and gaming consoles to entertain them, and not to mention the fact that everyone is soooo pleasant and nice and welcoming!Jason does absolutely amazing work and is so helpful deciding how a pieceshould look and where it would look the best. The other artists are just as talented as I’ve seen all of their work!Seriously give this shop a chance. I can’t say enough great things about them!!

My fiancé and I got some pieces done by Katie at Bleed Blue and she was awesome! Could not be happier with how they turned out and with the experience in general. I highly recommend her

Love the atmosphere at Bleed Blue! Katie does AWESOME work! I really like how the other artists come by and talk with you and check out your new ink. They make you feel relaxed and at home.

Scheduled an hour before close and had to stay until 3, great atmosphere and great people! Katie was amazing

I came in by chance and I’m so glad I did! I met Jacob Mize and he’s such a sweetheart and super personable and like way too patient. As a walk in he took care of me as if I made an appointment. I walked in and they were pretty booked and told me maybe an hour or more there could be an opening; I am super patient, so I waited and talked with everyone inside until someone became available. The staff and artists are super great and friendly. Highly recommend seeing Jacob, he’s fantastic. He listens, he’s attentive, he wants you to have a great experience. Just let him know how you feel, what you want, and whatever references you have, he will do an amazing job!! Thank you so much, can’t wait to come back. ❤️

This shop is amazing, very professional and such a comfortable environment to be in. I’ve gotten amazing work done by both Katie and Madison and I recommend them to anyone who asks.

Highly recommend this place for your next tattoo! Although I personally get inked by Katie, everyone in the shop is amazing and makes the whole experience even better! There’s no better place to get a tattoo done. Katie’s work is phenomenal!

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Katie has done a couple of tattoos on me now and both have turned out amazing!

I had 4 tattoos done by 3 amazing artists. One was an autograph done by, Mar, of my idol, Margaret Cho. Another was a minimalist piece of, Marilyn Monroe, done by Madison. And Robbie did the other two in memory of my Bassett Hound, Louis. One was a minimalist piece and the other was a portrait! These artists went above and beyond my expectations. Great staff and environment! I highly recommend getting your next tattoo at Bleed Blue Ink in Lexington Ky!

I came in with a bad stick and poke from a dorm room and left with a piece of art on my shoulder. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a brand new piece or work on an existing one.

I had a wonderful experience I just walked in and got seen Kira was every thing did a cover up that she took her time with I booked another appointment they was so friendly they place is clean as well

Robbie was the best artist I could have asked for for my first tattoo, he was so gentle and the results were 10x better than I was expecting. The atmosphere is so positive and friendly and all of the workers calmed my anxiety for my first tattoo. I am going to be a loyal customer for future tattoos

Katie has done a GREAT job both times I’ve been to her. Always going to come here for my tattoos.

We (my boyfriend and I) did a walk in. Jason helped us create our designs and was super patient when we were changing things up. He was super helpful in the design process and was super honest. He gave us different designs to choose from. During the tattoo process we had no issues. Jason was periodically asking us if we needed a break and when my boyfriend needed he had no issues using more numbing spray. Over all it was an amazing experience.

Very fun place! friendly staff! Jason Dennie who was my artist did an amazing job on a memorial piece for my father! Couldnt be more pleased!

Mandy did a touch up on previous work she did on me plus gave me another tattoo. She is always super professional and she does amazing work!!! I highly recommend her. Amazing artist :)

Jason was an awesome artist, and I loved my tattoo. In and out within an hour. (I was a Walk-in too)The atmosphere is very chill and clam. Friendly regulars and great staff. I would come in again and get a tattoo again. Would recommend saving a pretty penny for the art but it is worth it.

Absolutely love this shop! Clean and truly represents the heart of the Bluegrass. Kind, professional staff and Jordyn did an amazing job! I will surely be back!

Awesome atmosphere and Katie is super talented. Great experience!!

Katie was amazing!This was my first tattoo. I wanted something meaningful. She took as much time as needed to make sure that I had something that I liked. She was fun, professional and made me feel very comfortable.

I came to this shop after my friend had gotten a piece that I liked. It was a flash piece so I figured I would bring my own idea and we could work on it together to get it on paper then a tattoo. It’s been a while so I don’t recall the name, but the male tattoo artist was nice and helpful and talked to me about my idea but at the end of everything I didn’t even let him draw it up because instead of incorporating 3 items together to make a nice tattoo, he wanted to tattoo the 3 items separately.All it was, a heart wearing a crown, with a bow tied around it and a diamond maybe to the side. Why did he not want to do that and only tattoo them as if I was listing them in a row. Idk. I left without my tattoo and never looked back.

Great shop with very friendly staff. The cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere puts you at ease from the moment you walk in the door. Mandy did an outstanding job on my tattoo. I was blown out of the water when I looked at my tattoo from start to finish. I never could have imagined that this tattoo would have turned out so great. I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking to get a tattoo. I will definitely be back. Thanks

I highly recommend Bleed Blue Ink! I met some of the most down to earth artist who truly enjoy their work. I was very pleased with the flash tattoo I got! Robbie took the extra time to shade and work the tattoo, too. I appreciate artist who go the extra mile and this shop does in every way! Very comfortable environment. I’ll be back!

My daughter and I came here to get our first tattoo with each other in our own handwriting. We were greeted upon entering and everyone was so nice. My daughter ended up getting nervous and things got a little scary for her. I was so grateful if we’ll she was taken care of and the patience we received. Although it may be awhile before my daughter gets another tattoo lol I would definitely return and recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo to go to Bleed Blue Ink!

Got my second tattoo here by Mandy. Her linework is impeccable and her shading is clean. Definitely going back to get #3 thats part of a story.

I absolutely loved my experience here! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. Everything was very clean and sanitized. Robbie and Kara are so sweet and really make you feel like they’ve known you forever. Robbie did a little piece on my wrist and I couldn’t be happier! He took his time and made sure it was perfect. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Had a lovely experience back in September for a walk-in. Staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. The environment puts you at ease and the professionalism is second to none. A high recommendation for those looking to get ink, regardless if its your first or not! My artist was Robbie and he did a fantastic job.

WARNING: IF YOU GO TO THIS SHOP YOU MAY JUST HAVE TO KEEP COMING BACK!! You’ll soon find yourself with way more tattoos than you ever thought you’d have. :P I got my first and second tattoos at other tattoo shops and the experience I had was pretty cold and uninviting. I’m now up to eleven tattoos total, all of which I’ve gotten at Bleed Blue (after the first two) because I just can’t help going back! The management staff that helps get the paperwork going (Kara) is so kind and warm and welcoming. Even when the shop is busy she takes care of you ASAP. I’ve now had tattoos done by Jacob Mize, Amanda (Dandy Mandy), and artist Chelsea Joell who will soon be opening her own shop. The artists take their time to pay attention to detail and are totally open to any ideas you may have. They’re also incredibly knowledgeable on after care and different skin or body types. Though I haven’t had tats done by the other artists, I’ve seen their work and am mind blown at the detail and skill. I cannot recommend this place enough. ❤️

I went today (7/22) for a flash tattoo and it was a great experience. The shop was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. Robbie did my tattoo and he was awesome. It was my first so he made sure I was okay throughout the whole time. I will definitely go back!

Do not recommend this place, I came here in February with some friends and we had to wait 5 hours after being told every 30 minutes it would only be 30 more minutes. My tattoo was a very simple and small tattoo that was done unevenly and different size lengths throughout it. I thought at first it was just the scabbing but after it healed I was sadly wrong and it just looks bad. I contacted the owner about the issue and he said i could come in for a touch up except I live 3 hrs away. I was also told by the artists I was required to tip ( which was not the case ). The owner admitting it was uneven still said he couldn’t give me a refund. I guess i’m just disappointed with the overall service and the permanent tattoo on my body that’s messed up.

Tattoo artist was kind and went above and beyond to be accommodating. She stayed late to take care of us and dealt with 3 matching tattoos on 3 different parts of the body. This was the most pleasant experience I have had at a tattoo shop. Everyone was very nice and took care of us. Will def be coming back. It was a little pricey, but taking into account the location, that we were walk-ins and the quality of work, it was definitely worth it.

Stopped in for a little ink here. Jason was my artist and nailed it! Very friendly and professional! Was a great experience, the customer service is wonderful and the studio is so clean!

We’ve been twice and the artists are amazing! They do amazing work and are so so nice! They take care of you and make sure you’re comfortable and happy throughout the whole process!! We will definitely be coming back!!

Today I got my first tattoo at Bleeds Blue Ink by Jacob. I’ve always wanted one but just did not have a vision of what I wanted. There were years of coming up with ideas that were quickly shot down until now. After making an appointment, I sent a picture to Jacob, he made a template for him to use. The office offered a clean space, great music and relaxing environment. Walk in are welcome but I made an appointment. Best of all he did not disappoint. At every step he made sure I was happy. As for concerns: infection control maintain, very minimal discomfort, time for a simple design allow 2 hours, parking lot: north on High Street $2/ hour.

Had previously gone to another shop. I will now only be using Bleed Blue. Jason did a fantastic job. He was quick, light handed, more than fair on price and overall very likeable. The shop was clean, laidback, & very comfortable

Got matching tattoos with my daughter. Had a wonderful time. Great customer service. High attention to cleanliness. Very patient, making sure the placement was perfect (it was my first tattoo). #robbie_stiles

I have taken both my daughters here for tattoos and hands down it’s been the best experience! Friendly atmosphere and staff. They go the extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of and satisfied.

Fantastic shop! The staff is courteous, engaging and cool. Super clean! I was treated respectfully, had a great time and left with some sweet art! Would highly recommend them for your next tattoo.

Jordyn Cunnagin is AMAZING! I asked for a tat of a Sphynx resembling my two cats and she offered to do an actual portrait of them instead. I have trust issues with artists but she is so well-reviewed and just the nicest person ever so I went with it. OH MY GOD! The first piece she did for me tonight is absolutely stunning and so perfect. Looks like a photograph of my baby. Her talent is unreal. Beyond that the shop itself is super awesome, clean, and staff are exceptionally friendly. Also the owners are phenomenal as well. Can’t say enough good things! Please check them out!

When my sister and i showed up on a Saturday we were met by Jacob, who insisted we wait 15 mins for a consult. Which was great. We met a lot of staff artists like Amanda, Jacob, Rob and Jason. I scheduled an appt for a pair of tattoos and my sister also set an appt. Today Amanda put her brilliant skills to work and now i have excellent tatts the way i was hoping. My sisters tatts is what she wanted as well. My niece came with us a new she has ambitions too. Amanda is working on my masterpiece, i cant wait...Thanks everyone for your professionalism and talent. Hope to see them soon.

Jason took us as walk-ins and he helped us design exactly what we wanted and was extremely nice and did a fantastic job!!! Highly recommend!!!

Easily the best place to get tattoos! Everyone’s extremely friendly, the shop is incredibly clean, and I’ve never seen harder working people in my life! They all make sure you’re happy with what you’re getting and they’re amazing people. I love this shop ❤️

Jacob was fire and the rest of the homies were the greatest. I can and will be going back to get more work done.

Awesome first tattoo experience. Robbie did a great job! I get complements on the line work all the time.

Absolutely wonderful experience. My tattoo (by Madison) was exactly what I wanted, healed beautifully and they were great folks to be around during the process.

Everyone in the shop was so friendly and helpful! We walked in on a Saturday evening and we were helped right away. Shop is very clean, professional, and client oriented! I would recommend to anyone in Lexington!

Great place, great ppl, great work. Very comfortable and professional!

I went to bleedBlueInc on their opening day! It was a chill environment. Very clean and the artists are talented! I wanted a piece that was inspired by my papaws ‘singing at the kitchen table’. I have several traditional tattoos and wanted to stay in the same style. The tattoo artist Jordyn was an absolute BOSS! After sending her some ideas I found in Pinterest she put together a custom tattoo. I am so in love and although my papaw would probably kill me dead for having tattoos,,,,this piece honors his memory to a tee! I am so grateful and will be back to add another piece very soon and I will make another review as well ! Check out their website bleedblueink.com

I’m a first timer and had Jason Gilliam as my artist today and he was excellent. I’m Scared of needles and he made sure I was ok from start to finish. Can’t say enough good things about him or the shop!!

Got a tattoo by jason! it’s super good and i will definitely be going to him again! my friend also got a tattoo which also looks really good. we are both super happy

Everyone there is so nice and genuinely enthusiastic about body art. Jordan is the best! She did an incredible job on my tattoo, and Neon is super sweet and hilarious.

Tattoo artist Amanda was rude about sizing and angles. Talked down to me like a child told me if I didn’t like just cover it with makeup. Feel uncomfortable because her the whole time the tattoo is ok but rude service.

Chelsea Joell of Bleed blue ink absolutely crushed it. The environment was welcoming and the staff was awesome. Not to mention the attention to detail on my tattoo was DOPE. Definitely making Bleed blue ink my new home for all my ink needs.

Everyone is so friendly and absolutely amazing! The artists are extremely talented and friendly it’s unreal. If you’re wanting a tattoo, you better run while spots are still open, that’s for sure haha!

What an amazing experience!! I am so thrilled with the whole process! I told them what I wanted and they went above and beyond! Clinically clean and very reasonably priced 10/10 recommend.

Walked in, absolutely amazing and friendly service, got a small fine line tattoo and it went smoothly and the employees were great! Definitely will be coming back soon!

Stopped by to check it out. They dont have any tattoo drawings on the wall or in booksIf you want to get a tattoo here you gottahave it drawed out before you go or tell them and they can draw it

I got a neck tattoo and Jason did a perfect job on it, had lots a cool conversations, definitely will be going back

Jordyn is so awesome. She does absolutely AMAZING work. The other staff were friendly as well. Definitely found my new artist.🖤

Got a floral piece done by Jordyn, and I LOVE it!! Jordyn is so very nice and accommodating. Cant wait to go back and get more done by her.

Awesome experience with Jason. From start to finish he made sure I was satisfied and doing okay through the entire process. Great atmosphere and everyone in there were great.

It was very clean and they made my first experience something I will definitely never forget; I will for sure come back!

10/10 would recommend to anyone that is nervous about getting their first tattoo, the artists are amazing and super chill, I loved the whole experience!!!!

Made a last minute impulsive decision to get a tattoo, and they took me as a walk in! Everyone was super sweet and helpful!

Go see Katie she is the best!

Horrible customer service. I called to ask a question and the guy who answered was very rude and snarky towards me. He talked down on me and had a very negative tone from the beginning. Wont be going here for a tattoo.

Got a totto of a purple rose and I love it. They go off of what you can afford and thats why Im going back.

Great experience Im up here in sobriety their friends to build w great friends they accepted to walk in couldnt ask for better service

Great experience. Fantastic people. 10/10 would get another tattoo.

Super nice and friendly staff. took part of their Halloween walk in special. will definitely be coming back to this shop.

Very good line work and pricing, everyone is super friendly and nice! 100% recommend coming here

Chelsea tattooed a very special piece on my leg. Great work and very professional atmosphere.

Best experience I could possibly have I’ll be returning and telling everyone for sure
