Bellevue Tattoo Emporium

My brother and I went in just as walk ins, and everyone there is super cool, friendly, and helpful! Trinity clearly knows her stuff and did a fantastic job... thank you, theyre definitely recommended!

Trinity was absolutely amazing! She crushed the design and placement and was a true joy to chat while in the chair. The owner was so kind and genuine. It was a great experience, 10s across the board!

We love this shop!! Tom and everyone here are amazing.We went in as walk-ins for our first tattoo here,and my boyfriend and I were immediately blown away. Tom was able to customize tattoos for both of us and in less than two hours we were done! I love that he works so quickly and with a light hand. He’s also very honest about what he can and can’t do and his prices are incredibly fair I love that you rarely have to wait he usually has time for walk-ins. If you do have to wait, it’s never more than a few days.Tom is so easy to work with and talk to,never never made me feel pressured to talk when I just needed to zone out, but at the same time he’s very easy-going and chatty and just fun to be around! the whole store just has a laid-back friendly, fun vibe He’s now done three tattoos on both my boyfriend and myself I even took my 19-year-old daughter there to get her second tattoo. I got a piercing there as well and it’s healed perfectly. this is absolutely our go to tattoo shop and I’m thrilled that I live so close by I’m sure to be back for a lot more ink this summer. I would recommend the shop to anyone!

Got this for Friday 13th I love it she did a great job!!!!! Best tattoo shop I’ll be returning!!

This Tattoo was done by Trinity Oneill. she is very professional and fun and at the time of my appointment she was a apprentice in her first year of tattooing and is now a licensed TATTOO ARTIST . I was a little skeptical at first but shortly found out after the tattoo that she was very talented and had lots of potential. I was very impressed by the shading and linework and i cannot wait to go back to have here finish up my entire sleeve. if your looking for a artist who does great work and makes tattoos POP COME SEE TRINITY

Tom Chisholm is the best tattoo artist Ive ever met, I trust him with all my tattoo wants. He has a special way of hearing what you want, whats in your head, and creating it from your brain.

Ill start this by saying this is not my first tattoo.Please dont get a tattoo here. The guys are super nice, but I cried on my way home and bawled once I looked at it at home.When we first walked in, the shop reeked of weed. I have nothing against it, but you shouldnt be stoned while tattooing someone (and my artist Tom was zooted, red eyes and all). We shouldve left then.My artist missed a bunch of color, rushed the shading (he legitimately shaded like he was coloring in a coloring book), and half washed the needle so I have pink instead of white. He used a different color blue than the picture and when I mentioned it, he brushed it off. I of course said I liked it because what can he do? It was supposed to be lighter and theres no fixing that. The lines arent straight/clean and the text isnt centered. Everything that could be wrong with this tattoo is.After he touched up multiple issues my boyfriend and I pointed out, I pointed out more. He said it looked great and that the issues were due to swelling. He again said it looked great and that I could come back for him to do more work when its healed, free of charge. Thats nice and all, but this tattoo is awful. I wouldnt let him near me with a tattoo needle if you paid me $1,000,000. Its my body and I loathe this tattoo.I saw his response on another review that someone else left. He said the client didnt express her dissatisfaction before leaving. He didnt seem to understand why, but I get it. When someone puts a tattoo on your skin forever that you hate, what do you say? Its there forever. I, however, expressed my dissatisfaction and still left severely disappointed. I didnt mention the pink-instead-of-white or severe line issues, but whats the point? Its there now. You cant fix some things.My point is, I certainly did express my dissatisfaction and he still didnt fix my issues. I shouldnt have paid professional prices for a subpar tattoo that honestly wasnt even that difficult.Ive included a picture of what I wanted, the stencil, the tattoo before I left, and the tattoo the next day (you know, once the swelling was down).Id greatly appreciate a refund, because Im going to have to pay someone else to fix this monstrosity. I am devestated.Editing to add: its been almost 3 weeks and I havent heard anything from this shop.

Absolutely loved my experience here thanks to Reese! She made me feel right at home from the very beginning. We went over exactly what I wanted & where I wanted it. I got three smaller tattoos but one being a cover up and she made sure the placement was perfect. The other two were names & the lettering was perfect as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Y’all don’t sleep on her! She’s young but hella talented!! She definitely has a long & bright future in this industry! (The last one is in a spot I don’t want to post online but looks GREAT!!)

Reece was awesome. She is so nice and truly talented. I felt comfortable and I love my tattoo

Amazing tattoo place!! Reese has incredible talent/skill and provides the upmost customer service. She has a genuine interest in her clients wants and needs and goes beyond above and beyond to get them the work they desire. Highly recommend anyone to come here to get their art work done!

I love this shop! It is now my go-2The owner Tom, Reese, trinity and her bf are all so friendly and down to earth. Makes me feel like I’m right at home. I’ve gotten 5 tattoos here now! And will be coming back for more 🥰🥰 the place is comfy, has a waiting area with a tv, good AC, very clean rooms

Awesome tattoo shop!!! I got my last tattoos there by Reese! She is an awesome tattoo artist! I recommend that if you need some ink done, this is the place to go. Will definitely go back when I am ready to get more ink done. Thanks, Reese, youre the best!!!

Absolutely pleased with the service and attitude of the whole shop Not only were they friendly but super professional and did not break the bank Thanks again Chad cant wait till my next one

Highly recommend them.. If your in the Bellevue/Nashville area and looking for a great place to get inked you wont regert going here... If Hollys available even better.. She goes above and beyond with impeccable talent in her craft... She has left a mark on me that changed everything...The pain left from broken promises turned into the beauty my furture holds because of being strong enough to grow through it...Thank you Holly for making my vision a reality... You rock!

Had a confirmed appointment. It was literally confirmed the previous day. Called because the doors were locked. Was told “we’ll be there in 15 minutes”. Staff shows up (very friendly people) and ask who I am ther to see. Told them the name and they give him a call. Was then told it would be another 10 to 15 minutes because he was at Starbucks. I was already at the 25 minutes mark after my appointment was supposed to start at this point. Decided that if his tattooing skills was reflected by his work ethic, I would have gotten a shoddy tattoo and didn’t want something that was meant to be meaningful ruined. I was going to go to my local tattoo artist but my husband knew the significance of getting our tattoo done on that date so we ended up at Victory Tattoo. So really, I should increase the rating because if Tom hadnt decided coffee was more important, I would have never met the great staff at Victory Tattoo.

It makes me soooo sad to leave a bad review because I genuinely liked Reece and enjoyed talking to her, but I was left with a tattoo I’m very unhappy with. I came in as a walk-in because my usual shop was closed and I was wanting to do something spontaneous to make myself feel better because I just lost a child a few weeks prior. Reece was very sweet and I enjoyed her company, but after the tattoo was done, I noticed some line work I initially was unhappy with but figured I’d give it a few weeks to see how it looked. These pictures are taken a month later, healed, with proper aftercare. I was left with wonky lines, some lines are thicker than others and asymmetrical, looks sloppy, and old due to the crazy amount of fading. I would have loved to come back to get it fixed, but I’m scared to have them tattoo me again after seeing how this looks so I’m going to pay to get it fixed at my normal shop.

Had a rough experience with the old staff that worked there; but really have enjoyed the new people working there! Especially Gianni, I expressed my issues and he went out of his way to fix the problem. Would recommend trying again for others like myself.

He is very professional and creative. He helped me design an amazing piece. I will definitely be going back again for more pieces. I waited a long time to find an artist that could give me the kind of original one of a kind Tattoo that he did. Great guy makes you feel really comfortable while he works.Thanks Tom!!!!

Tom is amazing, A plus plus for effort and determination to find me exactly what I needed.... Ill go back there and there for all my tattoo and jewelry needs!! Thank you again, you rock :)

Not going to lie, I was a little nervous to have an apprentice tattoo me, but I’m so glad he did! Line work is very clean, he was fun to work with, detail oriented, and made sure I was happy with my tattoo before I left! Definitely one of my favorite tattoos I’ve gotten. Thank you Brandon!

Brandon was amazing! He did a daith on one ear and two helix on the other. They all looked amazing and he made sure I was comfortable the whole time. He was so informative and helpful. Highly recommend Brandon for any piercing you want! I came in with an idea of what I wanted and he fit it to the shape of my ear and aesthetics.

We had 6 people getting tattoos and they took good care of us! Tom & Brandon did an excellent job. Trinity was great to communicate with as well.

Awesome people . Got my work done by Jason he did both of my piercings and my tattoo .

Everyone was super sweet and helpful and the vibes were amazing! My piercer was Brandon and he was wonderful. He was very informative and made me feel comfortable. Definitely coming back!

Me and my wife had been waiting for the renovations to be completed for a few weeks and we’re pleased with the results. Brandon did our nose piercings and it was fast and easy yet we both felt home. Love the new environment and will be coming back for more work in the near future.

Magix did an awesome job. I just love this piece. 10/10, would absolutely come back to him.

Amazing shop and the nicest tattoo artists! My husband and I didn’t have an appointment but they got us back pretty quick and we love how our tattoos turned out!

Got a tattoo, did a good job. I was way overcharged for the piece I got. Should have discussed prices before I had the tattoo done so it was my fault, but he definitely stuck it to me with the price. Still a really cool tattoo shop and the people are great!

Update***Just had my second one done here and it was still a great experience. The work is fabulous!!!!.It was a fantastic tattooexperience! Very friendly and accommodating. I have several tattoos from different places and they were just better it didnt take forever and the price was more than reasonable. Give them a try!!!😍😍😍

Tom was the best and gave me and my friend a great price for 2 pieces of custom work .....its great place to get a tattoo and affordable as well as really great guys that work there! Super chill and awesome vibe

I went for the Friday the 13th tattoo special. I waited 7 hours as people ate gas station food, smoked, family members yelling and shoving each other to be tattooed. I should of known then to walk out but I was excited and drove and hour and half. I watched my mum get hers first and hers looked great.We got a different artist and well ours do not.1. Lines are shakie even though we were extremely still2. Lines were cut in on accident and he just drew a line over it. Didnt even try to mask his mistakes.3. Lines are uneven some thick some already faded away.Ill just let the photos speak for themselves.The worst part is mine is on my fingers and Im not sure they can be fully fixed.

Very good place for tattoos and percings. The price for tattoos is by the price, not by the hour. Im not sure about pricing for piercings or jewelry. Staff is very knowledgeable on products and pricing.

Had an emergency daith earring mishap, earring got stuck halfway, somehow in there. Took a few minutes (like 15 actually) of working on it... but it was saved completely. I seriously thought it was going to need to be cut out! Such a gentle and comfortable experience considering; setting, energy, and environment in general. I would definitely bring my business for piercings and tattoos here in the future. Thanks a bunch 😊

Brandon was absolutely amazing. These are the first piercings I’ve gotten that haven’t gotten infected afterwards! He’s very gentle and professional. He is the only person I trust now!

Tom did a great job touching up my first tattoo and giving me my second! We had a genuine conversation and I could tell he cares about his customers and wants them to feel comfortable!

Dude ! These people are great . You walk in and it feels like family. Tom and Reese are good people . I will definitely go back for more ink !

Holly was wonderful! It had been 30 years since my last tattoo. Holly walked me through the process and explained everything as she went along. She made me feel comfortable throughout the entire procedure.

Great Great Great place to go. Great vibes and excellent artwork 👌 very nice place. Its been remodeled and has alot of new features including a 1600 dollar rose gold plated piercing chair 💺!!! They are friendly and fast and they charge by the piece not by the hour I would highly recommend for everyone to check them out!!!

Love it and that the tattoo are great and very detailed love it :)

Magix did an amazing job for my first tattoo ever ! Talked me through it all and I loved every second of it . Will definitely be going back . Awesome work , well done magix !!

The best guys in Nashville. Clean, friendly and great price. Jason, my artist took on the task of a catfish (was suppose to be a koi) cover up. Check out his portfolio for pics!!

Loved it here reasonably priced and youre gonna love it!!! I only got a lil bit of work done (area around Jesus tat)... Jason was my artist!!!! Thanks bro did a great job.

I went to have a full sleeve done of roses he hand drew them on. .. Jason He scared my whole arm!! It feels like snake skin .. the pain was almost unbearable! . Its been almost a month and the swelling burning itching stinging is still there... no reason I should still be in pain after 3 weeks he went too deep and scarred me for life!! I will be taken legal action!!!

Tom did an amazing job with my tattoo. I honestly loved my experience In his tattoo shop. I would definitely recommend Tom for your tattoo needs! (:

Our tattoos are great work! But they are smaller, less detailed pieces and I feel 300$ was pretty highly priced for the size and time.

I love the breakfast chicken and rolls, im not a fan of waffle fries never have been and never will be, I did try them but they are pretty bland to me. The lemonade drink they have is fantastic

Tom was very nice and the place is very neat and clean but, he had alot of clientele the night i got my tattoo done so he rushed and did my tattoo instead of telling me to come back another day.. my tattoo looks nothing like what i wanted and I absolutely hate it, im pretty disappointed because tom was very nice and the sweetest person but he LITERALLY RUINED MY ARM! And the worst part is when i went back so he could fix it he only added a little bit of color and fixed a few extra lines and thought i would be ok with this massive hot mess i have on my arm, it looks a first time tattoo artist did my arm instead of a “professional tattoo artist “

Love tom an his work great man great place !!!

My best friend and I came from out of town to get matching tattoos. Everyone was AWESOME!! They took care of us and we love our tattoos!

Absolutely AMAZING Tattoo shop!!! Tom did my first tattoo and I was a nervous wreck. He was so patient with me and walked me through the whole thing! I WILL be back!!

Great place,good atmosphere and reasonable prices.Tom the owner does all my tattoos and I get a ton of compliments on them.

Tom does great work. Went back after the tattoo healed for some touch ups and Im happy with the final product. 👍

Tom is awesome! He does great work! The shop is also nice and very clean. This is the only shop I come to now and I definitely recommend this place.

Tom took a very old and faded tattoo and freshened it up with his skills. I didnt have to tell him anything, I trusted him and so glad I did.

Magic was awesome! He did great work. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Don’t go here

Great work

Found my tattoo artist!!!

Im going to give them 5 stars for the treatment that the piercer gave me, the second time I went, I will follow them, even though they all have different jobs, they have an estimated price list so when someone comes to ask they can give them more or less a idea, that, believe me, will be enough
