Took my daughter and her friend to get tattoos my daughter drew of their pets. The place was very clean and the staff very nice! Its about an hour from where i live but when I decide what tattoo I want to get I'm definitely going here!

Tattoo Charlie's is hands down the best place I've ever been to! I have gotten 4 out of 6 of my tattoos from there and each one is amazing. Plus the artist there are amazing, they work with you to get you the best tattoo! My recent work was done by Pike back in March, he is wonderful like the rest of the artist there.

Jessi is the best piercer. She is really sweet and makes you feel at ease. She's lovely to talk to and has a great attitude and personality, especially while you're in pain from getting piercings. She's very clean and sanitary and aseptic when preparing a room and piercing equipment.

THE best place in Louisville to get any tattoo. The artists will work with you on every single detail. The cleanliness is obvious as soon as you walk in the door. They follow every guideline and law there is where others do not. I've gotten every one of my tattoos from Tattoo Charlie's - that's been a family owned business forever - and I'm proud to tell everyone where I got them. Every employee at Tattoo Charlie's will come to assist you with any questions. I love how they will help with the designs, the placement, etc. Quality all around. I've also gotten the BEST piercings from Tattoo Charlie's. They don't just do tattoos, they also do piercings! Go there. Seriously. You will not be disappointed.

Jess did a fantastic job on my daith piercing! She was so nice and explained everything to me beforehand. Super clean and COVID precautions in place. Highly recommend!

I've gotten a couple of tattoos by Darin, my husband has as well. He never disappoints. He stays busy but his work is worth the wait. I've always wanted a larger piece on my shoulder and he did it a couple years ago and I love it. I always get compliments on it. Darin And everyone there are class acts. I highly recommend Tattoo Charlie's on Preston

Jess was awesome. I got my nose pierced and it was the first piercing I have had besides my ears and she was so kind and helpful explaining everything and she made me feel confident that I was at the right place. The whole experience was wonderful from her being really excited when I said I was there for a piercing to her actually piercing me.

I've gotten several tattoos from there, but these 2 specifically from Cecilia, I recommend her completely!

Got my first ever tattoo done by Darin. Very professional and efficient at getting it done. I love it, it was exactly what I wanted. The next week my wife had her first session on a sleeve with Darin and it's turning out to be one of the most impressive tattoos I've seen. Cannot recommend this shop enough.

I had a very bad experience at xtreme ink in Clarksville In, they put a ear ring in my double helix that was extremely two long and could cause bad harm and was cheap quality. They worked me in the day I called and Jessika even stayed late to fit me in. She was so sweet and was very smart and knew what she was doing. She took her time to take the rings out and put the new high quality ear rings in. Before I went my ear felt like it was on fire like it was throbbing. Now it is just a little sore but nothing like before. Xtreme ink did not give me any information on how to clean it and didn’t even mention a down size. Here I got a paper with everything I needed to know a way to contact her if I needed any questions answered. She was so nice and made it known she wanted me to ask even if it was just a question of me over worrying. I definitely recommend this place to get a tattoo or piercing. Saved my piercings and made it something great that I love so much. And the jewelry is top notch and not cheap like the other place that screwed my ears up
