I’ve been going here since they have been open. There is nowhere else I would go in the city. Mike and Chris are great. The shop is very clean and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I used to live in Mooresville and I drove down here, I also used to live in Concord and I drove here, it is worth the distance to travel to get a good tattoo from these guys I would never go anywhere else

Had my first session last week and I can not say enough good things about my experience there. Ike has worked with me over the last couple of weeks to come up with the perfect design. He listened to my ideas and interpreted them perfectly. As for my first session...it was a blast. Everyone was super friendly!! Chris, Kevin, Hannah and of course Ike, all made me feel welcome and at ease. Not an easy task, considering I was there getting the first part of my mastectomy tattoo done. Actually looking forward to my next session!

Booked an appointment with "Ike" and was emailed 15 mins before the appointment saying we were going to have to reschedule. Mind you I was on my way because I live 30 mins away from them. I requested a refund because I had already waited a week but was told a refund could not be given. I could care less about the money they can keep that but that is just horrible business. An appointment is suppose to make sure that both of us would be available at the same time. Will never be coming back to this place! I would put ZERO stars if it were possible.

Got our tattoos done with Kevin Smith. We were walk ins. He fit us in, drew up our design, hit the nail on the head the first time. He was entertaining, talkative, made us feel very comfortable. He was quick and efficient! We love our tattoos and will refer him on! This location is great. Large studio, many different artists, comfortable, clean and was packed all day long. Will be coming back for more work!!

Thank you for making my first tattoo such a great experience!!! Ike did an amazing job on it and it was so much easier than I expected, and nowhere near as painful as I feared. In fact, it was so easy I decided to have my nose pierced right after too!! I have already gotten many compliments on both. Thank you all! :)

I have to say I was a little bit nervous at first I was doing a cover-up. Ike is such an awesome artist I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to go back and get the final touches complete. If you're looking for some ink I definitely recommend Infamous Ink Tattoo and request Ike. Be sure to check out some of his drawings while your there. Just amazing.

I haven't had a tattoo since 1988 and finally decided to add another one. I've heard great things about the artists at Infamous and after a consultation and review of what I was looking for we got the design down exactly how I envisioned it. Chris was really patient and took his time with the fine detail. Explained everything along the way and stayed late Christmas Eve to take care of me. Mike and the guys there are great. I highly recommend them and really enjoyed my experience. Now I need to figure out what to do next!

My girl has had a couple of tattoos done at this place, so I thought it would be good for my first. My tattoo artist was Elijah Blackwell who had done some work on my girl (which came out fantastic) and that alone convinced me to go with him. He was attentive, patient with my first time questions, and very solid with his work. The entire experience was very comfortable from start to finish. It may be a little far out for some folks, but the work they do there is solid and well worth the trip.
