Very dissatisfied,  rude service,  overpriced, misleading price quotes,  we went last week and I got my first tattoo ever,  at the time I discussed adding a heart and banner later, the whole price quoted was $110 but I started with the name and paid $90, thinking that I could come back and get it finished.  Today we went and got the same tattoo on my husband,  the name on a banner inside the heart.  I had intended to finish mine,  adding the heart, but NOW he says he wants an additional $120 for the remaining ink on my arm, which is  more than the original quote PLUS I already paid $90 plus a $10 tip. I feel like I was misled and ripped off,  now I have to find someone else and pay all over again, wasted $$ on lies. Plus he was rough with the tattoo on my husband,  his attitude was petty Read Less

I went and got my first tattoo here and it was the best possible experience. At first, I was nervous that the staff would be super intimidating, and maybe even condescending, but that wasn't the case at all. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere inside is also pretty cool too and just being in there made me want to get a million tattoos then and there. Jeff did my tattoo and was very patient and helped me decide on a better placement than what I originally wanted, which turned out to be the right call. He talked me through the whole process and answered every question I had. After a couple of weeks, I noticed that one of the lines were thinner than the rest and I went back and Jeff touched it up absolutely free of charge. Overall, my experience here was absolutely fantastic! The place is very hygienic, the staff is super nice, and most importantly, they take pride in their work. I will definitely be coming back to Walk the Line for my next tattoo! Read Less

"Eek! Methinks not" is an understatement. If you are not already a hipster athens local with at least 4 body piercings and the grungy prince avenue aesthetic, they do not care about your business. Long version:I am a blonde ass white girl and I am WELL AWARE- but I still act chill for this crowd as I know they are predisposed to hate me / think I am a republican brat so I try to not act my stereotype. James, one of the co owners maybe (?) or lead tat artist / small dick energy-employee was insanely rude to me. 1. I asked for a relatively small-font tattoo- and he said the lowest size he could go would be a microsoft word size 38. (I know this is not true. I have a small font tattoo already, but I did not let him know this)2.  I asked for cursive, and he printed off a sample for me with honestly the most insulting "cursive" font from Word- ever. The look in his eye made it seem like he wanted to see if I would have the courage to tell him "that font is repulsive" because it truly was that distasteful. I asked to see more options and it was the biggest inconvenience of his life for him to do that for me. 3. I wanted 13 characters. small, minimal, thin- and he quoted me "at the least- $130" And I have never paid that much for that small of a tattoo in my life. Pricing did not seem to have a rhyme or reason. If anything, because he assumed I had never gotten one before and did not know the average price, he quoted me high. 4. I wanted this tattoo near rib-cage area. He said "he would not recommend it because I wouldn't have the pain tolerance." and "He only tattoo's certain people that can sit still for that long"I then showed him the sizable tattoo on my rib cage, to maybe prove that I was able to sit still. I then showed him the small font tattoo I have to also show "hey, I am not clueless!!" and he told me "Where'd you get those done? They look like shit."I still did not let this phase me, I just said "No worries, I will come back more prepared." and shook his hand and left.That is all. In the words of Pretty Woman: "Big Mistake. Huge." Read Less

I went in to get the word balance tattooed down my spine. The letters were crooked and all different sized. One of the letters is partially peeled off. The second A was significantly smaller than the others. All they had to do was trace a stencil. He also messed up and added an extra line in the A. When I showed him the original picture and he realized he messed up, he just said oops and attempted to carve it out with white ink. Now it looks like someone tried to erase it with a pencil. I have been to several other tattoo shops to get it fixed. They all claim that someone very inexperienced must have done this. They all are telling me I will have to do a full coverup with an image because the word is not fixable. The guy told me he had 20 years experience. His name is Jason B and his instagram is porkchop_express. He still charged me 60 dollars even though he messed up. Read Less

I walked in to discuss a possible cover-up for an upper back tattoo. It's a design that I would like to keep but I want to move it to a different location on my body. I was talked through my options (It was pretty big) and James Armstrong helped me get settled on a design. He's a super talented artist, very thorough and patient with his work. My threshold for pain is kinda high so I can't speak on pain levels very well but I can tell you my session was a few hours and went very smoothly. I'm so happy with how it turned out.

Wow, what a professional, talented, creative, and efficient service Walk The Line Tattoo offers! I came here with a group of my girlfriends for a bachelorette dare, in which we dared the bride to get a tattoo on her posterior cheeks of her fiancé's middle name. We had no idea what to expect, as most of us had never gotten tattoos before.We were greeted by Lydia (our tattoo artist) right when we walked in. She got an idea of what we were here for and got right to business (she may have judged us for a sweet second, but she kept it in well!) She pulled up the variety of fonts they offered and let my friend play around with them. We all sat in their waiting area for only about 30 min and she was done! The final product was finely printed and, according to the bride, "felt painless!" Needless to say, we were all in love with how good it looked and will definitely be making another trip to Athens for our next bachelorette shenanigans! Read Less

They charged me $200/hr for the rookie artist and I was unaware of the final cost until I was in the chair (not bc I didn't ask but bc "oh yea, that doesn't include your deposit"-with ink in hand.) I'm generally a reserved and honest person so I paid it AND tipped well (instead of jumping out of the chair and throwing a tantrum.) The tattoo itself is good. I'm content with it. But damn, could've got the same thing for almost half the price! Do your homework kids and get honest work at an honest price. � Read Less

A different artist did each of our tattoos, yet they are all of the same thing... each slightly different due to the different artist's styles. We couldn't be happier! They look GREAT. Also, it was our first tattoo and they walked us through the process and were very patient with our many questions and low pain tolerance. Very friendly, personable, and kind staff!

I absolutely love and relish the days that I get to go to Athens and see Radar for a new tattoo. I am definitely a repeat customer and so is my boyfriend. Most of his extensive work has been done by Radar.The shop is nice and clean, the staff and artists friendly and funny.All of the artists are great, but Radar is the one I go to and he is fantastic. I wasn't completely sure on the layout for my most recent tattoo, so I sent him several reference pictures and what he put together was better than I could have hoped for. His line work is gorgeous and incredibly detailed. He is also quick and efficient, unlike other artists I have had. He finished the line work for my half sleeve in close to two hours.  I am proud to call myself a repeat customer and hope to visit this shop many, many more times in the future. Read Less

Wow, what a professional, talented, creative, and efficient service Walk The Line Tattoo offers! I came here with a group of my girlfriends for a bachelorette dare, in which we dared the bride to get a tattoo on her posterior cheeks of her fiancé's middle name. We had no idea what to expect, as most of us had never gotten tattoos before.We were greeted by Lydia (our tattoo artist) right when we walked in. She got an idea of what we were here for and got right to business (she may have judged us for a sweet second, but she kept it in well!) She pulled up the variety of fonts they offered and let my friend play around with them. We all sat in their waiting area for only about 30 min and she was done! The final product was finely printed and, according to the bride, "felt painless!" Needless to say, we were all in love with how good it looked and will definitely be making another trip to Athens for our next bachelorette shenanigans! Read Less

They charged me $200/hr for the rookie artist and I was unaware of the final cost until I was in the chair (not bc I didn't ask but bc "oh yea, that doesn't include your deposit"-with ink in hand.) I'm generally a reserved and honest person so I paid it AND tipped well (instead of jumping out of the chair and throwing a tantrum.) The tattoo itself is good. I'm content with it. But damn, could've got the same thing for almost half the price! Do your homework kids and get honest work at an honest price. � Read Less

They were rude and didn't respect our requests, if you are young, don't have much experience and want to get a tattoo this is not from you. They were not nice and not excited to give us tattoos.

HIGHLY RECCOMMEND this shop! My family and I went to get matching tattoos. A different artist did each of our tattoos, yet they are all of the same thing... each slightly different due to the different artist's styles. We couldn't be happier! They look GREAT. Also, it was our first tattoo and they walked us through the process and were very patient with our many questions and low pain tolerance. Very friendly, personable, and kind staff! The shop was also very cool and clean! Read Less

I have never had a better post-tattoo care or knowledge. My artist, Joe Dakin, was extremely knowledgeable and quite the perfectionist, insofar as consulting with the other artists in the shop to spot check his own work. Very, very clean; thorough; friendly; and a consummate professional. 10 out of 10, and will finish my sleeve with him for sure. Read Less

I absolutely love and relish the days that I get to go to Athens and see Radar for a new tattoo. I am definitely a repeat customer and so is my boyfriend. Most of his extensive work has been done by Radar.The shop is nice and clean, the staff and artists friendly and funny.All of the artists are great, but Radar is the one I go to and he is fantastic. I wasn't completely sure on the layout for my most recent tattoo, so I sent him several reference pictures and what he put together was better than I could have hoped for. His line work is gorgeous and incredibly detailed. He is also quick and efficient, unlike other artists I have had. He finished the line work for my half sleeve in close to two hours.  I am proud to call myself a repeat customer and hope to visit this shop many, many more times in the future. Read Less

Radar and John Collins are the best artist you are going to find in the southeast! If you are within 100 mile radius and you go somewhere else, you are making a mistake!
