Blood, Sweat & Tears Tattoo Studio (BST Tattoo)

My friend and I did a last minute walk-in trying to get tattoos before she had to fly back home. BST was super accommodating because we had a tight schedule and they did fantastic work!

Justin Reynolds did my tattoo of a panda rolling down my arm and he was awesome, I can't say enough to show my appreciation. Did a great sketch and stencil to show me what it would look like. Tattoo itself was perfect, exactly the design I wanted, and he did such clean work with the lines and the small details!

Eric Sparrow did my friend's tattoo of a dandelion with a small plane flying out of it and the attention to detail he paid to all of the tiny lines was amazing!

I'll definitely be coming back here for my next tattoo and would highly recommend both Justin and Eric! Everyone here was awesome, thank y'all for being so flexible! 🥰

Made an appointment with Justin Reynolds and it was phenomenal! We booked an all day session and we powered through it perfectly. I absolutely can not get over how beautiful and unique this piece is! He let me know what we were doing, collaborated on colors, took breaks when needed, made sure I was comfortable and the entire place was super clean and the rest of the staff was so friendly. It felt very welcoming and the whole appointment was fun. I couldn’t ask for a better tattoo experience. Book with Justin, you’ll never be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing!! Thomas did such a great job taking my ideas & making them into a tattoo. My moms handwriting I got on my arm looks exactly like it does in real life. Also, he took my ideas for a design on my ribs & made it his own/better. Such a great artist to work with & talk to. He made the whole experience as chill as possible. I will definitely be coming back.

Best tattoo shop I've been too I've been tattooed by Justin 3 times in 13 months every tattoo I got from him was better than I expected he's very quick and patient I'm very happy with this artist I highly recommend this shop

It's too bad I can't rate them any higher, because they deserve it. Dave did amazing work for a great price. Without a doubt the best work you'll get around Charlotte; AND they have a sick T-shirt. You won't be disappointed

Very friendly staff, which is nice because sometimes you can walk into a tattoo business and the staff will make you feel inferior, like they are too cool for you. High quality artists; we used two that day (I regret not being able to remember their names). We were able to walk in on a Sunday and get a dual appointment for father-son matching tattoos. Many of their artists have published "coffee table" books as their portfolios.

Alicia at BST did the most incredible job with my fine-line tattoo. This was my first tattoo and Alicia made it simple and smooth. I asked for a small, inner forearm tattoo - a short phrase in my mom's handwriting. The result looks absolutely perfect- exactly like the handwriting sample I sent in. The best fine line work I've seen!

Absolutely amazing. My tattoo artist was Jamie and I had him redo an old piece of mine and he completely brought it to life from what it was! It’s now bold and beautiful and I can’t stop looking at it! Newest piece was st Mary on my shoulder and again his color and line work is top notch:) definitely having him do the rest of my pieces for my sleeve!

I've been going to BST for years now and it's always very clean and all the staff there are great. Alicia is by far my favorite artist there or anywhere. She's always very professional and a pleasure to work with. She's an exceptional artist and amazing at what she does. I get a ton of compliments on the work I have by her and I never hesitate to recommend her to family, friends, and even strangers 👍

Comfortable, clean, safe tattoo shop that's also walkable to a brewery and some of Charlotte's best pizza! Justin did a great job on my arm.
