The very best tattoo shop in Shelbyville with incredible artists! Joe is upfront and honest about ideas, placement, and cost. His skill level is versatile and his attention to detail leaves you with a perfect, permanent piece of art. I have not had work done by the other young lady in there, Layla, but I have seen her work and it is amazing. The shop is clean, organized, and super inviting, especially if youre a horror fan. It is no wonder this shop stays booked!

Layla Shoushoni is wonderful!I am so glad I booked her and trusted her with my tattoo. I will be back and book with her again. She was fun to sit with and made sure to complete details that make my tattoo outstanding. I cannot wait for my next tattoo with her

Great experience. Joe was professional and friendly, and the shop keeps a variety of drinks and snacks on hand for customers.Joe clearly loves his job, and that really lends a sense of confidence while youre in the chair. Joe works quickly and efficiently, and is more than willing to answer any questions.I am scheduled twice more before the end of the year and will likely look at getting on Joes schedule again as soon as I can.

Where to start…. Joe was absolutely amazing! This was my first tattoo and all the help and guidance he gave was awesome! He was upfront and transparent with me from the start. It did take a while from the booking until the appointment but boy was it worth it. The studio had a great atmosphere, especially if you’re a fan of horror films 🙋‍♂️. Offered complimentary beverages and snacks, breaks when needed. Joe just all around is a cool dude who I now trust with all my upcoming tattoo projects. I would 100% recommend him to anyone! Thank you so much Ink & Skin Studios!

I I had an am amazing session with Joe. He brought to life an amazing tattoo a tribute for my son. The shop has a great laid back feel and the staff is nothing less than awesome.And yet again another amazing tattoo by Mr. Joe Shoushani. Don’t cheat yourself out of an amazing tattoo his design of my tribute piece for my dad beyond words

I had my first appt with Joe to do my half sleeve at the beginning of February. I have now had 2 appts with him and a third scheduled later this yr. He took my idea and the image I had in my head and made it a reality, he gave his honest opinion on what would look good now, but not later on, and let me know before booking that he wouldnt do it if he didnt think it would look right. In my opinion, that is exactly what I was looking for, I dont tattoo and I need their expertise in that area. I definitely recommend him and obviously will be back to see him myself.

I had my session yesterday with Joe and I highly recommend him. He was very nice and checked on me throughout the whole session.

I will definitely be going back to see Joe!

Joe was awesome and truly did an amazing and incredibly special portrait of my best pup! I was so particular in who I wanted for this memorial and Joe proved to be one of the best! His studio was very comfortable and inviting. We jammed to some great music and it was a fun experience! I highly recommend his abilities to anyone who wants high quality work! He is worth the wait to get in and he has a custom shop for a reason! He is simply that good!

Don’t think- Go here for your next tattoo!!! I’ll admit I was nervous to go to a new tattoo artist than my usual, but I saw Joes work online on Facebook and figured it was worth a shot. The moment I walked in I was greeted with professionalism and kindness from the owner, Joe. Take into account how awesome an artist this guy is and I was sold. I’m so in love with my new piece of artwork and I get compliments on it daily. I can’t wait to schedule another tattoo with Joe! Honestly I can’t say enough good things about this place. If I could give it ten stars, I would. There is a reason the other tattoo shops in Shelbyville couldn’t stay open, they simply couldn’t compare

I had a tattoo that was done inconsistently by a different artist, so I had asked Joe if he could help me out on fixing in. Today was the first visit and it already looks so much better I will definitely be going back to get more tattoos done by him. He had a very gentle hand and did his best to make sure I was comfortable for the 4 hours I was sitting.

Had a great experience at Ink and Skin Tattoo Studio, Joe is very professional, runs a clean and sterile studio, and dedicates his time to the client. I liked that Joe keeps the door locked during his sessions so there is not people constantly entering the studio asking questions and trying to get appts. Not to mention he did a great job on my tattoo, great line work and shading, I will definitely go back to Ink and Skin for my next tattoo!!!

Everything about this place is amazing.. Joe goes above and beyond to make sure you love the piece of art that will be with you forever! He will listen to your ideas and then add some for your own unique tattoo instead of something everyone else has. There is never any pressure and nice clean work that is truly artwork at its finest.. Joe will always be my go to guy and I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. I can’t wait to go back for my next appointment!! Schedule yours soon as he books fast, he’s that good!

Review №53

Honestly the best tattoo place Ive been to. Joe helped fix up a recent tat I got that looked really rough and made it beautiful. He kept up a fun conversation and was more than happy to answer any questions I had about the process, tools used, what to expect during healing, etc. I highly recommend this place, even if their waitlist is long (theres a REASON for that!) I will most definitely be back to get more pieces done by this amazing crew.

The studio is very clean and organized plus Joe does an amazing job! He fixed a tattoo from somewhere else that had been “fixed” twice before. He also designed an amazing piece for me that turned out perfect! It’s exactly what I wanted so I’m very happy with the results!! He is an amazing artist and a great guy that makes the whole experience fantastic! If you’re looking for a great place to make your dream tattoo a reality then you’ve found the perfect place!

This studio is by far the best in my opinion. Joe runs a great business and always puts the customer first. He has amazing skill and truly loves and cares about what he is doing. He is also very engaged in the community helping with toys for tots ect by giving tattoos on his time for a discount. When I saw that I thought to myself this is a top notch professional business. The Atmosphere is fun and the staff is really cool. I highly recommend if you are looking for a amazing tattoo and a great time getting one this is the place to go.

If you want a tattoo, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. Joe did my tattoo and it turned out better than I could ever imagine. Joe was professional, answered any and every question I asked and most importantly, his work is second to none. His attention to detail is what sets him apart and I dare you to find someone who does it better than him. Ill be getting all my tattoos done by Joe in the future, without question. Dont waste your time and money going anywhere else. If you want an EXCELLENT tattoo for a good price, done by a true professional, Ink & Skin Studios is the only place to go!!

Holy guacamole...Joe did a cover-up for me and I was blown away; I’m a very hard person to please. He was very professional and informative. He let me know what to expect with pricing, the policies of the shop in regards to his 90 day touch-up, and the care of the tattoo. Joe definitely cares about his clients along with the quality of service he delivers. Ink and Skin’s pricing is on point with the quality and I more than reasonable. If you get nothing from this review, please hold onto this, “Good tattoos aren’t cheap, cheap tattoos aren’t good”.I highly recommend Ink and Skin and above all, Joe. The attentiveness, kindness, and over-all concern putting the customer first is what he is about. Also, if it makes a difference...he’s a somewhat funny guy!Thank you for an amazing cover-up, Ink & Skin, Joe. I’m pumped to show it off for all to see! ❣️

So I went and seen Nikole for my very 1st daith piercing and I will DEFINITELY be going back to her for any other piercings I may desire in the future. She is very friendly and professiona, she educated me very well about what to expect and what to do and not to do. She made me feel comfortable and right at home even though I had a bad day at work. She is great at what she does thats for sure!! Getting the daith was seriously a walk in the park yall!! Its the least painful piecering Ive ever recieved, even less painful that the earlobes believe it or not 🤷‍♀️ Everything Nikole used was still packaged in autoclave bags and patiently waiting for me 😁 I am very satisfied with the customer service I received from Nikole, the cleanliness and hospitality I recieved. I give her a 10!! If youre needing a piercing shes the lady you want to go see!!

Review №71

I only have a couple of Tattoos but Joe has done both and will do any others I get. His attention to detail, and willingness to produce exactly what the customer wants, (In my case a 1940s style pinup) means the customer will always get just the tattoo he or she asked for. Shop is clean, neat, well and organized. Joe and his fellow artists are the nicest folks i have met and always willing to make the customer feel at ease. He even caters to chickens who have never gotten a tattoo and explains everything in detail and his prices are well on par. I will be getting more work done by Joe and his staff and if your local to this fine establishment you should too.

Review №75

First let me say, I usually dont bother to do reviews. However in this case, I felt obligated to do so. I spent several hours in the past two years with the ideal of the design I wanted and failed to find someone who could simply say Not a problem. With ten minutes of explaining what I wanted, and a bad sketch from me, Joe said, Ill schedule you for April 26th. I walked out and walked back in yesterday and was flabbergasted at the sketch he prepared. From that point on we detailed some colors and the rest is history. If your reading this, Youve found your artist.Joe and company are personable, responsible, and talented beyond your expectations. Ill be back for more.

Ink & Sin Studios is easily one of the best tattoo shops in Kentucky. Joe, the main artist/owner, has such a professional attitude when it comes to any questions or concerns regarding tattoos. The prices are beyond fair, and the atmosphere is amazing. The shop is ALWAYS extremely clean, and the shop owner takes good precautions to keep it that way. Ive gotten eight tattoos from this shop so far, and each time the service has been top-notch.Best thing about this shop is that the artists will be completely honest with you about a tattoo idea, and placement. They will let you know if the placement you initially want for a certain tattoo would look right or not. They really look out for their customers. 10/10. Highly recommend.Edit: Edited this post to fix a spelling error.

Review №88

Ink & Skin has been by far the best tattoo experience that I have ever had. Totally different from the other shops that I have visited in the aspect that most of the others just want you to pick a tattoo off of a wall and slap it on your body. Not these guys, they want to actually make art to put on your body. Joe did a amazing job fixing up/covering up a bad tattoo that I had gotten in FL on vacation a few yrs back. I have never had anyone take so much time and put in so much effort to make sure I was pleased. Joe will defiantly be my only artist from this point forward.

I went to see Nikole to get my nipples pierced. Going in I was SUPER nervous. Nikole helped ease my nerves. She talked to me through the entire process. I was completely comfortable. Definitely gonna be going back to see her. She definitely gets my recommendation for any piercing. She told me the dos and donts. What was normal and abnormal. Also super friendly.

Fantastic! Couldnt ask for a more friendly, quality and reasonably priced tattoo shop in shelbyville... Stephane or Joe will hook you up with the best tattoo you have in mind. Love this place and will absolutely be the only place I go to for my ink. Also have body piercing if youre into that... if I could rate more than 5 stars I would.

I first met Joe at work when he came in shopping.. I was attracted to his wide range of tattoos that I saw on his arms.... Once I had the chance to get to his shop, he has been nothing but very pleasant to me and very professional when it comes to giving his opinion on any tattoo ideas I may want to get...... The shop is always clean and I will when able continue to go to his shop for any tattoos I get from Joe...... I love Ink and Skin Studios.........
