Nashville, TN Tattoo Shops Question

[Lochlan]

Next week I am off to Nashville for four days of work and don't know how much down time I will get unfortunately as it is my first time there but wanted to see if there are any tattoo shops people would encourage me to stop by?

Thanks in advance.......

Well if you are in downtown Nashville, these shops are the big names:

Black 13 Tattoo Parlor

Icon Tattoo and Body Piercing

Kustom Thrills Tattoo

I don't know where you'll end up staying on your trip to Nashville, but these are just the most well known shops I can think of in downtown Nashville.

I live 30 miles south of Nashville in Smyrna and have been getting tattooed for the last year by Paul at Tried & True Tattoo.

He's one of those "under the radar" guys.

For whatever reason, he doesn't self promote (no website, only facebook and rarely at that) I think he just loves owning a street shop.

He's doing a Sailor Jerry type skull and snake on my calf on sept 3. I can't wait.

Thanks, I haven't gotten my travel itinerary yet so don't know where I am staying at but hopefully I get some free time and one of these shops are by me.

Look fwd to seeing the Skull you're getting.....

Music City Tattoo Laura used to work with Marcus Pacheco years ago..I believe she used to be married to him.

East Side Iron Jerry Frost does nice realistic work.

All future such posts should read " Big Joe I am travelling to ____________ who or where should I get tattooed by?

Leave Nashville and drive 45 miles north to bowling green Kentucky, then see Carter tattoo company. It is worth it.

[Lochlan]

haha, yes @Joe Shit always comes through.

@IAS if I get enough free time I'll take the drive though saw the work timeline and don't know if I am going to get in more than eating and sleeping during my not working time. Unfortunately this trip is being squeezed in between two other pre set engagements so I don't get to do the at least a day before and/or after play time I try to always do.

Thanks

Swing by Saints and Sinners in Antioch and say hi if you have time. Antioch's about 20 minutes or so from Nashville. Saints & Sinners | Home

Black 13 is also worth checking out.

@pixxillatted thanks for the info, if I get free time I'm gonna try and make the drive but this tropical storm lee may get in my way.......find out when I land
