We had mother daughter tattoos done yesterday. It was the best experience. John and his staff are absolutely amazing. I was a little nervous about going to a place unfamiliar but I highly recommend and would most definitely chose this shop again. Thank you for a great experience. Read Less

The owner is an excellent artist. He will be extremely candid if you are not making a good decision and will guide you to get your vision. He is not a person to do whatever for a dollar, he has integrity and wants your permanent artwork to be great. I have several pieces he has done and love each one Read Less

I walked in and the guy was playing the Xbox & he never made eye contact with me for the majority of the time I was speaking to him. Then throughout the conversation he got a very nasty attitude. I will not be giving them any business, not to mention the interior is extremely off putting.Read Less

I actually heard of John from my brother who has multiple, MULTIPLE tattoos from him. John was doing a worst tattoo contest to cover up a horrible tattoo for free, I won through alot of effort and let me tell you the BEST thing i ever won!!! I love my cover up!! He took something hideous and made it beautiful and something I'm proud to display! since then he is the only artist i will use! He's very knowledgeable about what he's doing and makes suggestions cause he knows what would work better than me. I also loved the cover up so much i turned it into a half sleeve that is bright, vibrant, and gorgeous and get complimented daily on it!! I just wish i had known about him before my other tattoos! John you're awesome!! Read Less

It's been almost three weeks since I got my first tattoo and I am still so in love with it. I got Courage over Fear on my left wrist. John gives excellent service and quality work! Really enjoyed my experience and plan to get my next tattoos there. I recommend this for everyone! Read Less

Got a quote on my ribs tonight by Tiffany and she is very sweet and done an amazing job! Highly recommend American ink! Staff was very friendly! Going back in a few weeks for a tat on my other side and she will definitely be doing it! Read Less

John is an incredibly talented artist with a real eye for what works and what doesn't. His place is clean, his employees are personable, and the atmosphere is fun. John has done 20+ tattoos on me from as small as script on my finger to a large Hogwarts school crest on my arm and they've all been wonderful experiences. Once you stop in for the first tattoo, you will be back for more, and it always feels like you're coming home and surrounded by friends. Read Less

I was very impressed with American Ink. The artist, John, spent a lot of time sketching my design. He sketched exactly what I wanted. I couldn't have drawn it better myself! The shop was very clean!!! My tattoo is wonderful! Best tattoo shop in Chattanooga. Read Less

This shop is absolutely amazing. The owner is an INCREDIBLE artist who is not only talented, but just cool to hang with and talk to. Everyone in his shop is the same way.The shop is super clean, the work is excellent - you just can't beat this shop. If you're considering a tattoo, don't go anywhere else. Once you've been, you'll keep going back. I've gotten 20 tattoos from the owner and I'm picky about my artists. It took me a while to find the right one, but now that I have, I'm sticking with him.

By far the best tattoo parlor in the area. I've been many, many, many times and have never been disappointed. Excellent staff and incredibly talented artists. The place is clean and professional. I won't go anywhere else. Read Less
