Bryan is an amazing artist and easy to collaborate with!!! From the moment we walked in the door he chose to take his time into getting to know us and help with placement for our couples tattoo. I chose to also get a random tattoo for $100 from the random gumball machine. The feeling one gets when walking into a tattoo shop or parlor is extraordinarily different from the others you might walk into while visiting Gatlinburg!!! The music and vibe sits well as you have many areas to relax as you or your partner finalizes their design. Extremely clean, efficient and effortlessly flows from beginning to end of your visit. Thank you Bryan for the great experience you provided for us.

I can not stress this enough. Hands down best tattoo shop Ive been to. Britt is such an incredible dude (everyone else there was also pretty awesome) thank you so much Britt for making my small but meaningful tattoos come alive. And for also working something amazing on my brothers arm. No sugar coating, straight to the point and just an overall awesome guy. We cant wait to see you again when back in town.

Really really love this shop! The guys and gals here honestly treat you like family from the moment you walk in.Rhonda did my tattoo and she was amazing, she took her time to make sure when she was finished she was happy with her work and if she spotted something she thought she could make look better she tweaked it until she was fully satisfied with it.BE is another artist there and he did a memorial chest tattoo for my husband and he did an amazing job with it he was so light handed and really took his time to perfect his lines. Really beautiful and talented work from these guys!COMING FROM A LOCAL I honestly won’t go to anyone else for my work but here!Round of applause to yall keep up the talented work I will wear your art with pride forever🥰

Southern Draw ink is where to go! Hands down one of the best experiences Ive ever had!!!Bryan is the man you wanna go see!!! I have been looking for over a year at a compass tattoo, and couldnt find what I wanted. Bryan had the perfect one picked out and the perfect spin on it in 5 min flat! Absolutely personable, you feel welcomed into the shop. Bryan was/is a fantastic artist, and just made the experience Absolutely perfect! Honestly, havent laighed that hard in a while. Man even stayed past his time to go home, just to make sure we were satisfied. You dont find service like that anymore! Girlfriend and I both got new ink, and will deff be back!!!

Walked in in at 9pm to get a matching set of tattoos for our family of 4 (small initial only). Was welcomed warmly and taken care of. Clean and comfortable studio that cares for its artists as much as its customers. Elaine was an awesome artist and I will definitely come back to see her the next time I’m in Pigeon Forge!

My husband and I were a walk in asking for matching tattoos to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Britt was great. First time we have had zero soreness after having work done. I was nervous as it had been over 20 years since I had a tat. Britt was great keeping me talking to get my mind off of what was happening. Bottom line we love our tattoos and will come back when we are ready for more

Rhonda was absolutely amazing! I couldnt have had better service. She was very personable and down to earth. If you have a tattoo with faith based meaning behind it. She is your woman. She will make sure your visual testimony is worthy for topic of discussion. Thank you Rhonda for my 41 Tattoo. Within 24 hours I had several ask the meaning behind my tattoo and was able to give my testimony. You sparked a fire girl.

The hubs and I have been tattooed at Southern Draw prior and went back on Saturday to get another. We chose the place originally after walking into a few shops and they were not as clean nor friendly as the staff are are at Southern Draw. This place is so clean you could eat off the floor! B. E. did my husbands ink while Britt did mine. They were both extremely happy and friendly while working on us. We are very happy with the work they did and how our tattoos turned out! Southern Draw is the ONLY place we will ever go to for tattoos! To anyone reading this: if you are interested in getting tattoos and are in the Pigeon Forge area, I highly recommend you getting your work done at Southern Draw! You won’t be let down! Thanks, guys!

Came in on vacation me my sister & my mom each got a heart on our finger. None look like a heart, ink has faded tremendously & it was only a few months ago. We each paid $100 for a little tiny heart on our finger & now having to get them redone. All three of us are so upset over this experience especially since a simple red heart looks like a burn or a scar. Will never be back!!

I went here for a toungue piercing and it one took him forever to pierce it and two after the piercing it was crooked but he said it looked that way because the bar is so long and the piercing is also not straight it is slanted in my toungue and it’s also not centered so if you plan on going here for a toungue piercing don’t

Review №31

We came in back in July for two tattoos for myself and two for my husband. The pics of the yin and yang on both of us became infected, we were later told this happened because she stayed on the black too long and kept coloring it over and over, they have since scarred. The skull tattoos are not the colors he said he was doing. He never mentioned orange leaves on mine and my husbands red skull turned out pink. We reached out to the owner who said she would at least reimburse us, we have this in a message and she never followed through.

Review №33

Very rude people. Now I can understand that some shops dont let kids in and thats totally fine, but there are ways of delivering that message to the parents without being rude. My husband and I went in with our kids. They climbed up on the couch with their backpacks and sat down. An older woman from the back of the studio came up and started talking to us. Then she looked behind me and realized we had kids with us. She then explained that the sign saying no kids just conveniently fell off the door before we got there. Its hard to explain how rude she was in telling us that the kids can just sit in the car while we get our tattoos. She said theyre not allowed in the building and asked us to leave immediately. Im sure not all of the artists are as rude as she was, but it made for a really bad experience. Just know this shop is NOT family friendly in any way, shape or form. And if you like to to be talked to like youre trash, I highly recommend this place.

Review №34

Put the incorrect date in my wife’s tattoo.Could say it’s human error on her part as well for not noticing on stencil. But the dates were given to the owner/artist correctly. Noticed after being 5 hours away.Honestly, great place, timing, and work but that hit us pretty good after returning home after our vacation.Pricing based on area and tourism. Would rather pay more reasonably for the work, but I understand the market with tourism. Was told about the lower cost to locals/reoccurring customers vs the outside market.Now an additional cost to correct with our local artist.

Review №37

Although me and my husband heard this place did good work, we would not recommend this place at all. We walked in and stood/sat around for over an hour and out of 4 employees not one person said hello or acknowledged us. Customer service was horrific. Worst I’ve ever had at a tattoo parlor. So we went to black orchid instead and they were phenomenal! Was taken care of as soon as we walked in the door.

Review №38

IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE ZERO STARTS I WOULD! I came in and asked for a quote for a tattoo that I was so excited to get. Some old guy attended me didn’t catch his name. The first red flag I should have noticed was his opinion on how he would not pay so much for a cartoon tattoo. Price was never the issue. He did this tattoo in about 24 minutes. I was shocked. I should have looked at the tattoo better. 2nd red flag area was never disinfected. 3rd I didnt see where he pulled out a razor to have the area. Again, I didnt pay attention because I was excited. BIG MISTAKE. The tattoo was wrong nose was missing some of the lines were off. I am having to pay another artist to fix it more than I originally paid. I do not recommend this place at all. Find a real professional.

While vacationing in Tennessee, we stopped by on 7/20 looking to get 4 tats done. It would be the first time getting tats for 3 of us. From the moment we stepped in we were greeted and welcomed. All four tats were done by Jesse. His work was freakin amazing. With it being my first tat, Jesse made sure I was comfortable the whole time. While he was working on my husband,he couldnt stop smiling because it was looking so awesome Jesse you are phenomenal!!! We look forward to coming back on our next trip to Tennessee to get more done.

My wife has gone to Southern Draw for years. We are regular vacationers to the area and I had no reservations of checking any other establishment. She had an artist but I didnt know anyone specifically. Three weeks before my trip I saw a Facebook post about a tattoo artist that just started and he shared his work. I immediately commented and we hit it off. Over the course of two weeks I sent a general idea and my artist turned into something amazing. My artist is Christopher Lee Avera. He was prompt with replies and kept me informed throughout the process. He was also up front with pricing and there werent any surprises the day of. He messaged me the morning of appointment to confirm time. When I came into shop, he was ready to go with design and immediately went to work. Made me feel welcome and kept me informed the whole time. I will definitely hit Chris up again with my next piece of work!

Review №54

When we first get there we discussed what we wanted, was told no problem and was quoted a price. We wait for 2 hours before the artist even started drawing up our tattoos just then to be told that mine couldn’t be done how I wanted or placed where I wanted because the area wasn’t flat enough. After he finished the drawing he then doubled the price on me! Same with my husband. He was quoted $4-500 by the artist and the front desk person but after they drew it up the price jumped to $6-700! Hard no. He tells me it’s because it’s a tourist town and a high end shop. My artist at home has many awards and his prices are very reasonable. Almost, if not more than half, less than what they was gonna charge. We was excited to meet Rhonda and to visit her shop but a little disappointed in how the experience was handled.

Highly recommend!!!! Great service and super friendly and accommodating staff! My partner and I went in for small, simple wrist tattoo and a nose piercing about an hour and a half before closing while most of the staff were finishing up with other clients and we did not feel rushed at all, on the contrary, we received excellent service from both the piercer and tattoo artist! If you’re looking to get a spontaneous piercing or tattoo while on vacation, definitely visit them!

JD!!!! That dude was amazing! Such a skilled artist. My husband and I came in for honeymoon tattoos, we gave JD a hard task. The Sagittarius constellation with intricate straight lines and small ( I mean really small) stars. We were so happy that we actually made another appointment for two days later and went back to see him. The shop is super clean and everyone that we met greeted us with smiles on their faces. Rhonda the owner was referred to us by a local down the street at the Ax throwing bar (go figure) hahahaha. She has a great place with great artist what more could you ask for? 5 stars all day.

Came into Gatlinburg with family and chose this studio to get our work done! I got in touch with them beforehand and was able to have great communication through their Facebook messenger, booking 4 tattoos all at the same time together.The atmosphere of the studio is bright and fun, everyone laughing and cracking jokes. You feel very welcome when you come in and wait! Our tattoos turned out exactly like we all wanted them; they were all amazing!!The artists even added us a few creative touches to make them even more special!The only bad thing I can say is that we left a relative in the car watching my one year-old until I could get finished because my tattoo was fairly small and only took about 20 or 30 minutes… But my artist didn’t even get to the shop until an hour after my appointment time, without anything sketched up yet, so we ended up having to wait a while and leave her out in the vehicle for that long.We all ended up finished with our tattoos at almost the exact same time though, so it worked out well that way at least.10/10 would recommend to anyone and will be back!!

Others before me had walk in got services first I sat there for a good 30-40 minutes and no one ever helped us out , so we left cause of bad service I felt like we had been discriminated by them since others walk-in and they took care of them fast , but we was never helped!!

I came here to get my first tattoo and a stud in my nose. Their piercer Logan is an insanely rad guy & made me feel very comfortable.

This place is the place to go for a tattoo!! I was looking at shops to go to during vacation to get a special tattoo of a miscarriage I had recently and they was the only one that responded to my messages regarding what it would run and if it could be done by finding out with the artist what they would charge. They recommended a guest artist they had coming the week I was going to be there by the name of Wheelyum Dee. He did a amazing job designing my tattoo and painting my feelings and desire into the tattoo. I didnt know the gender so he added blue and pink to give it a touch of comfort for me since I didnt know what my baby was. He showed me a whole story in one tattoo the mother showing her grief down to the color of emotions and the baby looks so peaceful. Everyone at the shop was friendly and jokes around making u feel comfortable. The shop was very clean and atmosphere was comfortable to be in. I suggest checking them out!!!!! It was my first tattoo and this experience at there shop has made me comfortable enough to go out of my comfort zone.

I stopped in for a few piercings. The shop itself was super clean (100 on their previous inspection), with an entertaining, yet serene atmosphere. They have a beautiful selection of jewelry. Logan was amazing. Hes informative & so patient. He was completely composed, professional, & gentle during prep & piercings. I dont usually leave reviews, but feel any type of body mods should be taken seriously, with a great deal of research. You wont be disappointed with Logan, at Southern Draw!

I loooooooooove Brittney!!!!! She’s such a gem, and I feel so luuuuuucky to have been referred to her!!Personable would be an understatement!! She feels like a best friend I visited!!!My mom, sister, and I all got piercings and were very pleased with the results!! (I got a forward helix and eyebrow pierced, mom went with an industrial, and my sister had her lip done! ❤️)Brittney was fantastic at making suggestions, and honestly, the pain was more of a pinch than getting stabbed with a 16 gauge needle!! 🤣So, if you’ve been considering a piercing but worry about the pain, don’t!!Just make sure Brittney is working!! ❤️The receptionist was wonderful too! We had a great time cutting up with her! (I want to say her name was Jennifer, but if I’m wrong, please forgive me!!)It was a long wait but damn worth it!!❤️😌💯

My best friend of 30 years wanted to get matching tattoos for her birthday. I had already done research on artists outside of my area and had decided that I liked Matts work and decided to use him for a coverup planned for the near future. When my friend told me what she wanted, I thought Whats greater than going to eat good food then going to get some new ink? I decided very quickly the answer was NOTHING is greater than that! So I was in! I called to make the appointments and made the $60 deposit to secure the spots. I emailed Matt what we wanted and he had everything ready to get to work when we arrived. Everyone in the shop was very friendly and the shop was very clean. Matt was easy to talk to and asked lots of questions along the way to make sure we left there happy with our new ink . My friend also got a piercing and Logan was very professional and descriptive in what she should expect and the aftercare. My friend and I both left extremely happy with the ink we got and the experience. I am glad I researched and found Matt. It was well worth the drive and the money and I will be back soon for that cover up! Thank you Southern Draw!!!

Went into the shop tonight for my first tattoo and it was an excellent experience. The lady at the front was very nice and helpful, and Matt was awesome. He made me feel comfortable and at ease and did exactly what I had asked for.

Wasnt the best attitude and the tattoo could have more detail for what I paid I felt like I was rushed thru the whole process one of my bears Wasnt shaded all the way and didnt even look like what the stencil was I decided I didnt want to get one before anything was set up or anything I asked for my money back and they absolutely refused terrible terrible business so I had to get the shifty tattoo will never go back

My best friend and I came in for walk-in tattoos and had the best experience at a parlor we’ve ever had! Natalie at the front counter made us feel so welcomed (as were from out of state) and comfortable while we waited, as well as Tyler the artist who tattooed us. This is a shop filled with such genuine people, over all we had a wonderful experience here and definitely would come back if we’re in the area wanting new artwork again! :)

By far thee absolute best tattoo service that Ive ever had! Hands down. From the moment that I walked towards the ramp to the doors, Logan instantly greeted us outside. Once we got to the reception area how nervous that I was, Shelby instantly made sure that I felt welcomed as well as made sure that I find exactly what I was looking for which calmed my nerves. As for Rhonda, the owner, she hand customized my design to make it become perfect. She took her time, and made sure that I was as comfortable as possible. She does amazing work at a very reasonable price. The entire team was unbelievable when it came to customer service.Thank you from Indiana!!

This was my first tattoo and I cannot say enough about the amazing experience I had. Matt did a fantastic job on the artwork. I couldnt have asked for a better designed piece. We came in with an idea in mind and he turned it into an amazing piece of art. From start to finish, everyone in the shop was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. These guys truly care about the art they are producing and it shows!Matt took his time to make sure everything clean and sanitzed between each person he tattooed. Once he learned that it was my first tattoo, he even walked me through what I should expect and see when I walk into any tattoo shop. He takes pride in his craft and cares about the art he puts on your skin. He was the perfect person to complete my first tattoo!I am truly impressed with this shop and everyone in it. If you are looking for a fantastic tattoo in a super clean environment, go to Southern Draw!Thank You Matt, Logan, Hannah, and Tyler for making my experience unforgettably amazing!

Review №102

I cant say enough about the great experiences and service we have received here over the years. Logan is always attentive and very helpful. My daughter and I have both have had multiple piercings and all good experiences. He is a perfectionist which to us is very important. He takes his time and always makes sure it is exactly how we want it and done correctly on his end. Also warns us of any issues to be on the lookout for and proper cleaning. He has fixed several piercings that my impatient daughter wanted and could not wait to have done. We will NEVER allow anyone else to do our piercings. If Logan cant do it we dont need it is now our motto. However, havent seen anything that he cant do. We have had interactions with other staff members and also Rhonda and they have always been professional and informative. We have recommended several people as well that have always had positive experiences. Give them a chance!! You wont be disappointed.

My wife and I came down to the smokies from Michigan for our honeymoon and found this place via google search. I called on Monday hoping to get an appointment for later in the week, but they were able to get us in later that day. Matt was a super nice dude and did awesome work. Shop was very clean and very positive. It’s not everyday you find such happy people in a tattoo shop (from my experience) Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Got under my husbands account to leave this review.. we were in town on vacation when I wanted to get a couple piercings. I was looking at reviews and Logan- the piercer in the shop-had a lot of good things said about him so I figured I’d try. He lived up to everything. Knowledgeable and very nice!! Love my new ear piercings!

By far the absolute best place for all your piercing and tattoo needs! Everyone is so pleasant and informative there! Rhonda owns the best shop around, and she is so humble! Logan is the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to anything that goes in your body, and he will help you find what is best for you! I have been going here for 7 years!!! Never had a bad experience!!

This review is going to be very detailed. If you don’t want to read the whole thing, just read this: Southern Draw is very clean, professional, and considerate. Matt (tattoo artist) is hilarious, professional and so helpful.So. My friend and I were going to get tattoos (my first, her second) at a Tattoo place in Gatlinburg. While we were waiting, a man walked up to us and actually warned us about the shop (which was surprising because it has great reviews). The place was closed anyways so we asked him what he recommended. He said “Rhonda Marsh at Southern Draw”. So we went there. Unfortunately, Rhonda was totally booked so we went with Matt. And we are so thankful for that.He took his time to answer all questions (I’m very inquisitive and curious) he also showed us his process of opening brand new bottles of ink and new needles so we KNEW that we would have a clean/safe tattoo. He was so caring and sensitive to our expectations. He aimed to please with his art and we never felt rushed. I can’t compliment him enough. We are from Florida and will be visiting Matt in the Fall for our next tattoos. Thank you, Matt!!!!

I have gotten multiple tattoos and a piercing at Southern draw and will never go anywhere else. I absolutely love the staff and even when I lost my lip ring and came in for 4 days straight logan was always patient and helped me out.

I went for daith piercings to try and help my migraines and daughter got a nose piercing. The place was busy so had a waiting period but the service was satisfactory.

The artist that did my 2 tattoos today was Rhonda, she did an awesome job. The line work and coloring ended up being better than I expected. She was a joy to be around. We built a friendship in just a couple of hours and I will for sure come back to get another tattoo or even to just visit with her. All the artists in the shop are friendly and take care of your needs while your there.

I was visiting Tennessee and went to stop by Southern Draw. Rhonda was easily one of the most friendly and down to earth owners Ive met in my travels. I did not get any work done but I watched and experienced Logan doing a few piercings. Hearing him chat with his clients was refreshing and soothing. Each had a consistency of a professional but a personal touch of a friend. If youre visiting or in the area, I definitely suggest stopping by and experiencing what I did.

I went in on 09/25/20 without an appointment and Logan got me in an hour later. I was getting a memorial tattoo for my granddaughter who had just turned 2 years old the day before she passed away in June 2020. Matt was my artist and he was phenomenal. I love the tattoo so much and it was needed to memorialize my little girl. Thanks Matt, I will be back when I get back down to my favorite place [Gatlinburg] from Michigan!

This place is great!! I went to get my first tattoo and Brett was awesome! He answered all my questions and was patient to make sure I would be completely comfortable and satisfied before he even got started. Well, it was a breeze, wish I would have done it years ago. My fear was definitely greater than the reality. The shop is clean and all the staff is friendly. You can view all the artists portfolios as well. I highly recommend this place.

Review №125

Logan pierced my septum a little over a year ago. I have quite a few piercings, but this was the easiest, most pleasant. Logan is 100% professional and he takes his job very seriously. I had my septum pierced previously, at another shop in the area (Seymour) and the piercer pushed the needle in to far and dropped it on the floor It had to be pierced 2 times in one day. The jewelry put in was horrible and it never healed. I waited about 3 years to have it re done and Im very happy with it now. This shop is great, clean and friendly!! (My husband gets tattooed here) Rhonda knows what shes doing and her employees are all great!!

I have gotten 4 tattoos done here and I absolutely love them. My mommy has stage 4 renal cell kidney cancer and Rhonda did a ribbon and my mothers hand writing that says I love you, mom. She did it on my right wrist and I was absolutely thrilled with it. I couldnt have been more satisfied with it. I cried and it really means a lot to me that Ill have this part of my mommy with me forever now. Rhonda is Super at what she does and really is great with her clients. If you want a great tattoo and dont know where to go, then Southern Draw should be your only place. Thanks again Rhonda I really appreciate you!!!!

5 of us decided to get tattoos while we were on vacation. The entire staff and Southern Draw was very kind and welcoming and willing to answer our questions. Matt was our artist for the evening.

We will definitely head back to Southern Draw on our next trip up to TN to see Matt for our next round of tattoos.

Walked in with an appointment and was instantly welcomed by every one in the shop. They are very well priced for the quality of their work, you get way more than what you paid for!

In Gatlinburg for a vacation and decided to get a tattoo I have been thinking about for a few years. The staff was very friendly, the shop was clean and sterile. I was able to watch the artist remove the needles from sterile packages. Pricing was fair, and my artist, Bush, was great. I am very happy with my tattoo. I am on blood thinners, and they took great care to make sure I had approval from my doctor. Just a great experience!!!

Tyler is the only professional one there, I got a tattoo from him day before so went back for a second tattoo with Tyler. The lady at the front desk very rude and unprofessional told me me I could make an appointment with Tyler since I was a local, that walk-ins are for tourists. (I dnt even live in Sevierville). Shop was not even busy it was 8pm shop supposedly closes at 11pm and was told tattoo would take about 40mins. Lady even recommends I go to another shop down the road and to tell them she sent me. Then as I was leaving she tells me another artist could tattoo me. I showed him what I wanted he says he can do it. Was gave a price of $120 then raised the price to $186. Didn’t end up getting the tattoo since the artist basically told me the tattoo I wanted was stupid when I would not change the tattoo I wanted to what he drew up and tried to give me a tattoo he wanted that was simple and basic and stupid not what I showed him and told him I wanted that he said he could do. Tyler does good work and very nice. Can’t say I would go back with rude lady at front desk and chance I get the rude artist (think his name was Jimmy)again.

I wish I couldve met Ms. Rhonda (highly recommended) to get my eyebrow tattoo. Due to the fact that she was off I was informed that Amber was the backup permanent makeup artist. So I decided to schedule a consultation for 8:00 pm with Amber and when I get there, she informed me that she has only been doing the eyebrow tattoos for a year...blank stare...so are you saying you arent that experienced to do the job (if so why are you even the backup person) or you just didnt feel like assisting me....Either way, I wouldve felt better if I was just told that they were booked so I wouldnt have wasted my time going through traffic on Parkway just to hear that excuse. Im sure the service with Ms. Rhonda would have been fabulous. This 1 star rating is strictly for Amber, thanks for service!

Their place was very clean & had lots of books for ideas. I was recommended this place on a Facebook page by several contributions comments. However as we first go in the man at the desk wasnt at all interesting helping us than the man in the moon. We knew pretty much what we wanted, I had also messaged them days prior and called the day before we went. The man at the desk told us no that want work, basically nit knowing exactly what he was talking about, then he goes & get a lady Rhonda well she didnt care if she helped us either. By this time Ive already lost trust in this place, then they bring put a tattoo guy named Tyler. Tyler was very nice & wish we would have talked to him first they would have gotten our business. But we went to a popular shop in Gatlinburg & got what we wanted. Thank you Tyler for trying to help us.

Review №165

Although Logan did a good job on the piercing itself, it was still frustrating paying 90$ for a septum piercing and only allowing 1 person in the room with you. We all came as a group and was excited to be there for our friend and were told after paying the 90 that we all couldn’t be in the room for moral support. On top of that the person who was allowed to go in there wasn’t even allowed to video. For spending nearly 100$ for a simple nose piercing there are far too many restrictions.

I have had the pleasure of working with Rhonda, Will, and Brett for three separate tattoos. Always a very friendly and very clean visit. All three have done incredible jobs. I will go to Southern Draw for every tattoo.

I wanted to give this shop a try because I always pass by this place. I had pulled in and ended up with a flat tire no fault of anybodys but my own. I walked in and a young lady help me. She seemed nice not sure if she was an artist or not but i said i wanted a seahorses on my forearmShe then asked if I had a particular style i said not really and without asking how big I actually wanted she priced it about 225.00 to 250.00. Needless to say I was blown away. The seahorses on my other arm was about 125.00 and looks amazing. So this place is a bit pricey.

The cleanliness of the shop & staff combined with the welcoming attitude of everyone is the reason why Southern Draw has become our familys tattoo place. We brought my neice here to celebrate her 18th birthday with her first tattoo and Amberlyn was the best! She was patient, calm and made Sams first tattoo a great experience.I have had my nose pierced & 2 tattoos done, my older sister had an industrial piercing & 1 tattoo, younger sister had 2 tattoos, mother has her nose pierced & 3 tattoos, best friend had a tattoo covering the top of her foot & my husband is heading the this afternoon to start the forearm part of his sleeve...... needless to say we love this shop!

I got two tattoos at such short notice since I am on vacation but they didnt mind they took me right in and Skyler gave me exactly what I wanted! They are so kind and definitely clean I will be making the 12 hour road trip back down just to get another tattoo from Skyler!

I went to Southern Draw over this past weekend. It has been my third time coming here for a tattoo while vacationing from the Cincinnati area. My first experience was so great that a trust was built and I know the work I get done will be worthy. I havent met Rhonda who owns the place but I would like to. Each visit I have had a different artist do my tattoo and I have scoped all of their portfolios to admire their work. Let me say that this place offers nothing but quality artists that will not disappoint. Rhonda you run a very professional and skilled business built on experience and talent. I thank you. This passion for Southern Draw comes from my most recent experience over the past weekend especially. I had a tattoo that has been the a problem for years since the first day I got it. I was so disappointed and tried to go somewhere else about a year later to fix it but to no better a piece of art to be proud of. Thats right. A twice done double paid tattoo that was embarrassing and displeasing. I mean tell me you cant do it dont just try to get paid. Its my body and I have to live with it. I walked in to Southern Draw on Saturday determined to get this covered and have something to show off that was worthy. I met Will and showed him the tattoo and told him a glimpse of what I wanted. Now Will told me he was not the guy for it but that JD was and would be in later and could look at it. Thank you Will for being real and respectful enough to say you need someone else. I had Will go ahead and give my fiancé and I a tattoo anyway. He did an incredible job and we are both very excited. It was her first tattoo and Im glad it was not like my first for her. JD came in and looked at my cover up situation. He was very pleasant, upbeat, professional, and honest. I watched as his experienced creative mind took off. He was confident that he could make something beautiful. I cant see how to upload a photo here but I wish I could share it with you. JD created something free hand to go right over, it covered completely, you can not see a trace of the previous, and it is the most amazing work of art by a truly skilled and passionate artist. Certainly it is my most intricate and attractive piece but it is greater than so much I have seen on others and even in magazines. Take notice Miami Ink! The detail, color, and personalized touches from such an invisioning mind blew me away. Down to tiny little dots, cracks, blends, and shades. It is awesome and whats more amazing, its over a bad piece of work. Thank you JD for the masterpiece you created free hand with such brilliance while remaining true to a simple idea that I mentioned. I expected something to cover, I expected something better than I started with, I did not expect something this jaw dropping and perfect. As a final statement to my bragging rant. It was worth the very fair price I paid. I may not have paid enough for such greatness. JD is worth every penny and I tried to tip him well to show my appreciation and his worth. I was not nieve of the expense and very satisfied that he was fair. Once youve had a bad tattoo and spent money three times to fix it, you appreciate paying for unmatched quality. As Ive traveled it seems exciting to get a tattoo while youre out at some local place. But my fiancé and I are so thrilled with our last visit and the continued success in having art done at Southern Draw, Im certain to save my future tattoo designs for another visit to Southern Draw. 4 1/2 hours drive is worth knowing youll be happy with the work they do. Thank you JD, Will, Rhonda, and the other skilled artist of Southern Draw for the top notch work you do.

This place is so nice and clean. They are extremely professional and very down to earth. They have great prices as well. I’ve been here twice now and every time I have seen them I left loving the work done. Highly recommend them if you are visiting pigeon forge.

I went in a couple of weeks ago to get a tattoo the lady at the counter was really rude, rolling her eyes at me. Will was going to do my tattoo I brought in a piece I wanted for my tattoo and he said I’ll have the drawing in a couple of days. Then I emailed the details I wanted didn’t hear from him had to call him he said I didn’t get an email back so I put it on hold. Then he texted me saying I need another piece, my phone would not let me send it. So I called and had a lady tell me I don’t know what to tell you, so I wanted to try one more time because I put a 60 dollar deposit down already! So I called and a really nice lady said make an appointment to get the drawing done and tattoo. So I called back later and was told Will doesn’t want me to do an appointment until the drawing was finished. So I never got it done and this was for my two sister laws that passed away to honor them!! Worst place I’ve ever delt with!

They did a great job on my wifes tattoo. We went in on a snow day and Bret both drew and finished the tattoo in a few hours for a very fair price. Would definitely reccomend.
