My fiance and I walked in and this place was spotless. Very neat and clean. They are friendly and professional and best of all they're AWESOME artists'. We are very pleased with our tattoos and highly recommend Breakthrough Tattoo to anyone who's looking to get some new ink, the results will astound you. They're all awesome but Joe will definitely hook you up with his beautiful handwriting if you're wanting a name or anything with letters. Very satisfied customers! Read Less

Awesome experience! Joe did an amazing job on my tattoo and was just awesome to work with. Met Trey as well, the guys made me feel welcome and like family. A very clean, chill and zen atmosphere! Highly recommend these guys, best tattoo yet that I've ever gotten! Read Less

Had a great experience for my first tattoo. Everyone said hello, introduced themselves and made you feel welcome. Chaz was my artist and he did an amazing job. Walked me through everything from start to finish. Overall it was awesome. Thanks a lot and I will be back to sure! Read Less

I live in this community and was happy to see a new shop around. However I walked in to get small tattoo and was not greeted for at least five minutes this is when I became confused as to how business was conducted in the shop. The young lady who finally spoke to me came off with a harsh and negative tone and the other artist who were not working gave me funny looks. Soon after I was given ridiculous prices and I hadn't even told them what I wanted as well as me being told that this shop is appointment only and that they are 4 weeks booked. I truly felt unwelcome and as if everything I was being told was a serious deterrent. Now I am not sure if they were acting this way because of my skin tone or what because I looked in the portfolios and had not seen one person of color with art in the books. however I was planning to bring a group back for tattoos but now I see that I will NEVER conduct business with this shop or any of its artist and I will make sure that all of my Tattoo enthused friends never do business here as well. What a shame a usless shop planted right in my community. I do not want negative businesses that are not happy to do business with the members of the community in the neighborhood in which I live.

This was my first tattoo and I was rather apprehensive as to where to go. I looked around and I am so happy I settled on Breakthrough. Tre' is fantastic and I was really impressed on how well it turned out. I shall return to Breakthrough! Read Less

I moved here from Seattle and have had a hard time finding any good artists in Charleston but Joe has really impressed me. He's great to work with and has amazing line work. He's currently doing a cover up chest piece for me and it's looking awesome. Read Less

Tre did an amazing job on my celtic cross! He took the time to talk the piece over with me and create the piece I wanted. His line work and shading in black and grey is amazing! If you are looking for professional art work you need to visit this shop! Read Less

I have been getting tattooed by Tim for years and his work never fails to impress me! It was my first time in the new shop and, the staff very is friendly and welcoming and the walls are decorated with some awesome artwork. I highly recommend breakthrough tattoo! Read Less

I wish i could give it 10 stars! I had an amazing experience for my first tattoo. Tim, my artist for the project, did way beyond of what i expected! He's cool, calm, collected and kept took good care of me throughout the process. Clean environment, clean tools which are shown to you before the session begins and you feel right at home as soon you even walk through the door. I will definitely be coming back for more tattoos. I can't imagine any other artist working on me. Read Less

Great experience hands down!! Tim was very professional and created an awesome tribal concept for me! The atmosphere of the shop was great. Will definitely be going back for more ink therapy with Tim! In fact, already planning my next one. Thank y'all for a great professional experience. Read Less

This is the only place to get tattooed in Charleston as far as I'm concerned. The shop is really nice new and clean, the art work is amazing, and the people are great. Not only will you get a beautiful piece, but good conversation. This is the first ever tattoo studio opened in North Charleston. So hats off to the owner Tim Brown!!! Amazing place Read Less
