This establishment is most impressive. The art work is impeccable. Friendly staff and artist. I undoubtedly would take my child into this family friendly environment to get a quote on renditions. Lastly, traveling the country, I have never seen a tattoo shop as clean as Wicked Ink. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the local shop. Best in Knoxville! Best in East Tennessee! Read Less

Dont even deserve one star. Very rude owner . Wouldn't even let us video a nose piercing even though it's not posted. He was just an out right jack ass! Will definitely the the longer drive to hard Knox next time Read Less

This is my first time here at this shop and Jason is awesome! Jason speaks so nice to you,explains everything that he's doing, and I can't wait to come back for my fixer upper tattoo. If you haven't had a tattoo here well you need to I don't think you would be disappointed. Read Less

Love love love this place!!!! Ive been going here and getting pierced since i was 13!!! Jason is amazing!! Never have had any trouble, hes never turned me away and has always helped me even if he didnt do the piercing himself. Y'all are the shittttt!!!! Lol Read Less

Marylin just fixed a tattoo I just had done in February at a another very reputable tattoo shop. Had a the same place do a touch up 4 weeks ago and need a 3rd. I just didn't want to go back there and stopped by wicked ink and she took me in right away and made me feel 100 % better about it. I chose to pay her rather than get a 3rd free touch up by this other artist and I'll be going back for my next to Marylyn. Thank you! Read Less

Went there Saturday me and my sister got matching tattos. They were FANTASTIC!!! They took time to listen to us and fix everything percect we both got to do it at the same time. Jason and Marilan you all rock❤ Read Less

Being this was my first tattoo I have to say my experience was great. Jason did mine and it was a memory tattoo for my mom. I am more than pleased with it and the experience. Jason talked and made it a calm and pleasant environment. Thanks! Read Less

Two thumbs up for this place. Wasn't expecting to get it done today, but they had me in and out before I knew it. Jason was exceptional and did a great job! I think I have found my new tattoo guy!!!!!� Read Less

Marilan did a fantastic job and was very understanding. Considering it was done on the top of my foot, she was as gentle as you can be during the session. In memory of type tattoo. Highly recommend this place. Read Less

People who live with migraines no need to suffer I got my daith pierced and happy to say I have only had a light head ache been about three weeks but will take five of them to one migraine and what do you have to lose another trip to the er or doctor just to get a short term fix thanks Jason at wicked ink tattoo and body piercing Read Less

Jason was amazing!! Professional, polite, and personable. He is the best around, and im definitely going back to Wicked Ink to have him work on my tattoos again. He is the best tattoo artist around, hands down!! I will be telling everyone I know to go to Wicked Ink! Read Less

I go to Jason for all my piercings and he is awesome!!! I've been tattooed by Marilan and Tom and both were great. I wouldn't trust anybody else. Even the girls at the front are very knowledgeable and sweet to chat with. Customer for life. Read Less

I've had 3 of my 5 tattoos done at wicked ink and couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Jason did my last one and was absolutely AMAZING! He has a really steady hand and was very gentle with the needle. They all do exceptional work hands down. I think Jason is my favorite though and I WILL without a doubt go back. Jason is very knowledgeable and very friendly. The girls at the front desk were extremely helpful and absolutely a blast to talk with while you wait. If you go anywhere other than wicked ink you've lost your mind!! Also a very clean and organized place! You can tell the owner takes pride in his shop and his staff. Read Less

I went to wicked Ink for the first time just a couple days ago. I got a very nice cover-up tattoo done. Not only does it cover the old tattoo well, It does NOT look like a cover-up! Jason did a great job on it, and the rest of the staff was friendly and helpful as well. I'll be back to Wicked Ink before even thinking about going anywhere else! A huge thank you to Jason and the staff. I couldn't be happier with what I received for my money! Read Less

The crew at wicked ink are great! I took my daughter their for a small nose stud. The shop was clean and had a very friendly welcoming atmosphere. Very good pricing and very knowledgeable staff. We Will come back again and recommend to anyone looking for a good place.Read Less

Came in from out of town and got a spur of the moment piercing. Jason was the guy's name that did the piercing and he was hands down super nice, super chill. Very cool spot I definitely recommend checking it out! Read Less

Got my nose priced. They used a bone/stud when they first priced it. Took great care of it.. Even slept with two band-Aids on it.nose ring came out in my sleep. Band-aids still on. Got my nose re-pierced again they used a bone/stud Again. The stud was obviously not long enough. This time it grew up on the inside and started to close around the stud. Great Customer service However would definitely do research on types of nose rings Read Less

I have never been to Wicked Ink. I'm sorry! I accidentally left a bad review that was meant for Tye Dye Tattoo, but I can't figure out how to completely delete it. For now, I'll just give a high rating to make up for the bad press. Read Less

I've only had piercing services done here, so that's what I'll be reviewing. The older gentleman who works there did a nostril piercing for me going on five or six years ago. He was cool as a cucumber which helped me relax during the procedure.Last winter I was in town again and went there to buy a replacement captive bead ring. The same gentleman was there and was willing to install the new jewelry for me as well! The place is very clean and has a nice collection of flash to look at while you wait. Highly recommended. Read Less

The staff is amazing the girl's are very sweet and helpful. Jason is amazing. My mom and me went to get piercing (belly & nose) my mom got it done at 2 other places and said it hurt very bad, but when Jason did it, it was amazing. Me I've never got any piercing's but he did a very good job and he knows exactly what he is doing. I highly recommend wicked ink. Read Less

I have been going to Wicked Ink since 2003 and I LOVE THEM! I've had several piercings and 7 tattoos. All of my work has been done by Jason or Marilyn and both are AMAZING! I just had my first permanent makeup procedure done 2 weeks ago and it's BEAUTIFUL! Their place is ALWAYS super clean and EVERYONE is extremely helpful and friendly. I walked into several places ready and willing for ink but was always turned off by the cleanliness (or lack thereof) and personalities. Then I found Wicked Ink. I recommend then to everyone thinking about having ANYTHING done. They welcome children into their establishment and even talk to them as well! I have taken my kids many times and been complimented on their behavior. I will NEVER go anywhere other than Wicked Ink to have holes put in my body or for ink. Keep doing an AWESOME job guys and I will be seeing you again...... SOON! As for the negative comments, check their Health Dept scores. They speak for themselves! This is the BEST, CLEANEST AND FRIENDLIEST place to go in Knoxville or anywhere nearby! Read Less

I called to get some information and the guy who answered the phone said, ""DONT CALL ME, IM IN THE MIDDLE OF A GOD DAMN--- "" and then hung up on me... really? I got 5 words in and then he freaked out! I think these people are messed up on something, I wouldnd go there. Read Less

My husband and I have been going to Wicked Ink for 4yrs now. Between the two of us we have 10 tattoos from both Jason and Marlin. We have never had any complaints nor will we go any other place! To address some of the 'Not so great' reviews :) i have NEVER seen the shop dirty, i have ALWAYS had a clean needle used, and Robin, who works the desk, is such the nicest woman!! Its a great ,friendly place, I have brought my kids with me while iv'e gotten tattoos AND also getting thier first peircings from Jason! I have referred friends, family and even exs to go to Wicked Ink and i will continue to send people there! In fact I think its time for a new tat for myself! SEE YOU SOON @ WICKED INK!!! Read Less

I had been wanting to get a tattoo for a while but I'm terrified of needles, however, I was resolved to get one for my twentieth birthday. I really wanted to find a local shop that had a great atmosphere and was clean; Wicked Ink was exactly the place. The staff goes to great lengths to make you feel at home and not push you to get you're not ready for. I'm sure there will be another tattoo in my future and Wicked Ink is the only place I'll think about going to. Read Less

I got my nose pierced here. Jason is awesome!! I'll deff have to say this is the BEST place to go. I'm one of those people who is scared of needles and would normally back out once i see a needle, but the people there are extremely nice and i not once thought of backing out, not even second thoughts. Cleanest place ive seen too. I have to say that for anything i want to get done, ive found the place im going, LOVE it!! Read Less

I got my first dermals at Wicked and it was a great experience. The piercer was extremely patient and kind. I'm a stickler for everything being clean and sterile when it comes to putting something on my body or in my skin and this place was excellent in this regard. The piercer took every precaution and was clearly experienced. I definitely found my new place to get pierced Read Less

Heyy, This place is awesome, I got my belly button done here, The people are really nice and friendly, The place is super clean, And Jason made me feel alot better about having it done cuz i was really nerves but in the end it didnt hurt at all, I would go back here in a heart beat and I will to get more rings when i can change it out!Its a great place, you should really go!!!!! Read Less

Wicked Ink was awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Cleanliness was priority. This was my first tatoo and I am so very proud of it, Marilan did a fantastic job on MY rose. Jason and the other ladies there were friendly and made you fill like you new them forever. My husband was with me and we had a blast. Go there, you will be glad you did. Read Less

We both get all our tattoos at Wicked Ink we would never go any where else. the service is great, Jason,Robin,Marilan and Jana are all always friendly and very professional. We have both had cover ups as well as origional tats did here and they all look great. Jason and Marilan both do a wonderful job. This is a great place to have your tattoos done you will not find a better place or such good service. Very Clean environment not like alot of the other places. Oh and not to mention ""Jana is adorable, AND gracful."" ;) keep up the great work guys. Read Less

The place, as soon as we got in there, was interesting and appealing. Clean, spacious, yet cozy at the same time, Wicked Ink was an amazing place for me and my parents to go to. I got my nose pierced there and the person who pierced it for me, I assume, Jason, was polite and very nice. I have a fear of needles, but I've always wanted to get my nose pierced, and when I got there, he did freak me out with the large needle he showed me, but he promised he would be careful. It was a sharp pain, obviously, a needle through your nose would hurt, but it was over quickly and he was very informative on how to take care of it. If you want a good piercing, I advise going there! They're nice, very helpful, and friendly. I felt at home almost immediately! -Patricia Read Less

100% from Health Dept tells the whole story when it comes to the cleanliness and quality at Wicked Ink! Only caring, quality people could achieve such high standards. Dont listen to the negativity of jealous, unprofessional people. Go in and experience this business for yourself! My Husband, Son, Daughter as well as myself have been tattooed by both Marilan and Jason(Owner/Artist) and have had wonderful experiences. I would not risk my health or that of my family by going to any other tattoo shop. I myself have been pierce 4 times by Jason. He is the most wonderful, gentle person you will find in a artist/piercer, he always explains what he is doing and why he does it this way as well as how to clean/protect your art/piercing. Jason and Marilan are both wonderful artist. YOU WILL NOT FIND BETTER. As for the staff they are wonderful as well, Robin(Jasons wife) and Jana are always friendly and eager to help in any way to make sure you have a wonderful experience. My family and I have had many great experiences here in the past 3 years and appreciate the quality and service we receive at Wicked Ink! We love you guys!! Keep up the good work! Read Less

Look! If you want a CUSTOM piece done, Marilan is their CUSTOM ARTISTA! AND A DAMNED GOOD ONE! I can't speak for Jason and Robin as far as expertise but they're nice people! Great Shop! Go there! or else! =)~ Read Less

Wicked Ink is the ONLY place I have EVER BEEN and will EVER GO TO...period. Jason, the owner & a dear friend, is a PERFECTIONIST and goes STRICTLY by the book...a 100% score from the Health Dept speaks for itself! Marilan is very talented, smart & professional & the best free-hand artist I've EVER SEEN. Behind the counter is Robin...she does an awesome job taking care of all those HUNDREDS, & I do mean HUNDREDS of customers that pass thru that door each & every week. She and Jason are also licensed to do permanent cosmetics. These folks even have to turn people away due to getting booked up so quickly! Having worked there myself, I know FIRSTHAND all the 100% safe, health-dept APPROVED steps that are put into the cleaning & sterilization techniques used along with , the clinical-grade surgical steel body piercing jewelry. They use a top-of-the-line autoclave, which by the way, is tested weekly by spores that are picked up from the Knox County Health Department and have always earned a 100% review from the annual Health Department inspections. And in regards to accusations of a previous customer, who stated that Wicked Ink re-uses needles....I have NEVER witnessed ANYONE walk around with un-gloved handfuls of USED needles. Once these are used, they go DIRECTLY into a Sharps' container that is properly disposed of.....they even get calls from ""scratchers"" wanting tattoo supplies, needles, and ink ....which they are promptly told Wicked Ink will NOT sell any supplies to them! Sometimes I don't know where these completely fabricated false statements are generated. Not only does Wicked Ink follow strict procedures on the HEALTHY, 100% SAFE tattoo methods, but they also NEVER break the TN law that states it is illegal to tattoo anyone under the age of 18. A statement that many customers have stated SOME local shops DO illegally tattoo under-age minors. HHHMMMM...... EVERY customer gets WAY MORE than what they paid for from Wicked Ink!!!! Therefore, go to Wicked Ink ONLY if you expect other-worldly tattoos and amazing, 100% sterile, safe, virtually pain-less body piercings. Kudos to Jason, Marilan and Robin....I speak from experience, I even had permanent eye-liner done and everyone boasts on the quality of my body art and body piercings. I am a living, walking, breathing testimony to these artists. I just find it a shame how an ex-business partner and his partner and even family, can persuade weak-minded people to post untrue and unflattering comments about a totally awesome place. Read Less

I wish I could rate them lower! Do not go there unless you want to gamble with your life. They RE-USE needles. I found out half way through my tattoo that the needle that Marilyn was using was used before. Fresh needles are supposed to be bright pretty reflective silver. The needles at Wicked Ink are old and brown looking re-sealed needles in reusable bags. All they do is clean them and reuse them. I am calling the board of health to inform them of this disgusting mess. What prompted me to ask Marylin about the needles was that I saw the BIG Blonde girl walking with a handful of what appeared to be Tattoo needles towards the sink. I guess this was becuase it was close to closing time that she did this in front of me. So, I asked Marylin are you guys re-using needles? She said YES, but we clean them in the auto clave. My heart skipped a beat!!! All I could think about was some type of blood borne pathogen infecting my body at that very moment. To bad I was half way thorough before I found out. I finished the Tat and got tested the next week. I also got tested 6 months later, and I am going again soon. Luckily I have not tested positive for anything like HIV or Hep C, but it is a gamble I rather not take. DO NOT Gamble with your life. The staff is also very rude especially the Blond girl, and her boy friend. I also suspect that they are all on drugs. This place is an accident waiting to happen. They do not care about their customers if they will use old needles on them. They handle them bare handed, and no telling what other neglect goes on with their equipment. Do not be fooled just because they open a package in front of you. If it is brown it is not new. It should look surgical grade like the tools at a dentist or doctors office. If you have gotten a Tattoo from Wicked Ink Tattoos in North Knoxville down the street from Wal Mart I suggest that you get a blood test. Wicked Ink Tattoos charges too much money to be Reusing needles. They do not care about the safety of their customers. They should be required to tell their customers if this practice is legal. I just found out some states allow needle re use. Im not sure if TN is one of them. Either way its better to be Safe than sorry. Side note Marylin is an excellent Tattoo artist, but its not worth gambling with your life. Tell your friends and family to STAY AWAY from Wicked INK TATTOOS!!!! Learn from my mistake and Consider yourself WARNED!!! That is real Wicked! They are scum. Read Less

I got my nostril pierced today and was very nervous about it. From the moment I walked in the door there was a calming feeling. Very clean and professional with helpful and understanding staff. I was truly impressed and will go back and bring friends. Read Less
