The best tattoo shop in Asheville for a number of reasons. Exceptionally clean, they use vegan ink, it's a calm and pleasant atmosphere, and the staff are always super nice and welcoming. But in my experience, what puts Zen Ink above and beyond is their artists are organized, punctual, and just generally make the entire process of getting the tattoo you want very easy and stress-free. And it goes without saying all the artists are incredibly talented, so you can't go wrong with any of them. Kate Cook is an absolute star, she stays busy but if you can get an appointment with her you won't regret it.

River is the sweetest and the best! I went into Zen Ink a few minutes before they closed. I really wanted henna done on my hand. I'd just had a bad piercing experience at another shop a few minutes prior. I told her about it as she did my henna. When she was done with the henna, she fixed my piercing issue in a jiffy which made me want to get another piercing. Her customer service skills are top-notch! I'm definitely going back there again for piercings, henna and tattoos. Thank you so much, Sweets!

Made an appointment on Friday and they were able to get us in on Sunday which was perfect! Mychela is amazing. I wanted a very dainty, thin line tattoo and she did it exactly the way I wanted it. Place is clean with such comforting vibes. They let you hold rocks (like rose quartz) during the session if you would like. Would recommend Zen to anyone.

Had a great experience with Enteka! Very accommodating, comforting, and professional! I also really enjoyed the atmosphere and the other staff/artists I interacted with. Everyone was very friendly and made me feel at home. My tattoo by Enteka is amazing and I will definitely keep this place in mind for future tattoos.

The owner of the store was amazing! I absolutely LOVED the atmosphere and overall vibe of the place. I felt comfortable, safe and she always made sure I wasnt in pain. I had to make an emergency stop here because of a fault of another piercer from my hometown and the woman who helped change my jewelry took her time and was very caring. Also, I highly recommend their mix for a salt water solution! It includes lavender and does wonders for your skin!
10/10 would recommend!

Got some work done by Kate, who is incredible. Not only was she a fabulous human in general, but her work is incredible. All the people there were friendly and lovely and the whole space was so peaceful. It was a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to go back and get the color done and more work. I highly recommend these people for tattoo work.

Melissa did a fabulous job piercing my 7 year olds ears. She was so calm and kind and very very patient with my little girl who had a pretty tough time with the needle.
I highly recommend Melissa and zen ink! The entire staff was so friendly and helpful! Thank you Melissa!! ❤️❤️❤️

Melissa was nothing short of amazing. My son and I came to get some piercings and left with a new friend. She made us comfortable and safe! Highly reccomend her talent!

I couldn't be happier! Mychela was the artist I worked with and she was phenomenal. She listened to what I wanted and created six different designs and then tweaked the final one I chose even more to my liking. She made made sure I was comfortable, even giving me a bolster for my knees to help with my lower back issues. She walked me through the process, took care of explaining how everything worked, what she was going to do, what I could expect and then how to take care of my tattoo. She really cares about her work and the people she's working on. Her style and skill was perfect for what I wanted. She's very detail oriented and also light handed - so the pain is nil. I am so happy I chose to work with her and she chose to work with me!
Then there's the space! It's very calming and allows you the opportunity to have the headspace you need. I felt very relaxed and loved being surrounded by pretty bugs, art, stones and green walls.
I would love to go here again!
