Illusion Ink

Go see Jeff....you will be amazed at his talent

Walked in and showed a picture of what I wanted. James and the girls at the desk were very friendly as tears poured. This was something I have wanted for a few years, and on a whim decided to go for it. Definitely recommend this shop! Also, he was not heavy-handed and made sure sizing and placement were perfect for me before starting!

This is the best tattoo shop to go to in the Mid South hands down. Had some work done by Bobby and he did and amazing job. Most recently got some tattoos by James, another incredibly talented artist and very down to earth cool dude who's willing to work with you on designs. The shop is super clean and all the staff I met were completely professional, friendly and make you feel welcome.

What kind of jewelry do y’all use for septum and nostril piercings? I came in last Saturday 2/18 and this week my nose seems irritated with the feeling of the rings touching it

James M, is a amazing tattoo artist in Southaven MS and did exactly what I wanted to my arm. We started on a half sleeve and it healed so beautifully. Our touch up was impeccable. Really brought out the abstract and realism to the design. Also it was a very relaxing to have someone work so well with my ideas. Thank you illusion ink for providing me with a great experience. I look forward to many more sessions with James M. Also I intended to get my naval and septum pierced the owner is super kind and very accommodating.

Go see Tyler dude is really good did my whole sleeve on my arm.

Absolutely LOVED billy today. He was so professional and talkative to me when i was extremely palm sweating!! 🤍 thank you so much and i highly recommend this tattoo shop!!!

I originally had an appointment somewhere else but that guy had an emergency and had to cancel fast forward the reviews looked good so I went to illusion. Wait time wasnt bad it was a simple tattoo environment was alright long story short the artist misspelled the wording on my arm. Figured maybe it was the swelling the next morning still messed up so I went back up there no empathy from the artist or the girls at the desk Basically they asked what do you want us to do because there are no refunds Asked to speak to a manager was advised he wasnt there then they began apologizing and made an appointment for a touch up. I showed up and the touch up is worse than the original work and the lettering is messed up now I have to go somewhere else and get a completely different design just to cover this mess up. No follow up from the artist Dave or the shop after knowing the work was messed up. Mistakes happen ok but mis-spelling is not a crooked piercing or a design someone just didnt care for I would not recommend this shop just based on sloppy work, lack of empathy and failing to take responsibility...they checked the paperwork and the pictures several times in front of me like i gave them the wrong wording. In short a wedding tattoo gone wrong with any business be careful and head to illusion ink for basic tattoos you can cover up because no telling what you may get out of here. Dave apologized and I'm sure it was heartfelt when he was fixing it however still wouldn't recommend this shop based on overall experience

Got my eyebrow ring done was put really low nearly in my eyelid. And my friends nose ring was put in crooked. Both ended up getting infected weeks later. And my eyebrow ring was honestly just such a weird shape you could see the bar through my skin when the swelling went down.

I went to get a nose piercing and the experience was wonderful..It was simple, fast, and fun. Service was pleasant. No wait. I recommend 💯. I will be going back for all my services.

Update! As usual, the experience here was phenomenal. Everyone was amazing. Love my new ink. My artist was highly professional. Always looking forward to getting more from this fantastic group of talented people. Everyone there was absolutely awesome. Our artists were on top of their game, and got us what we wanted. Will be going back for more soon.

Carl was top notch!!! Super friendly Extremely helpful in answering any questions and very professional

You should really work on hiring piercers who CARE about what they do and their clients. They’re too rushed and it shows. 3 people including me have gotten crooked piercings from here. Piercers, TAKE YOUR TIME and take into consideration the opinion of your client on their piercing.

They messed up a few clients tattoos & piercings leaving them crooked.

The place was clean and nice. Receptionist was very friendly and helpful. Carl was meh. He did the piercing fine; he just seemed bothered and not very personable.

OMG I had the best experience with Tyler. He knew exactly what I needed.

My tattoo artist I had was Billy. The service exceeded my expectations! I was in the chair and out within less than 30 minutes. He high-fived me at the end for not crying or being too soft lol. Will definitely come back!!! Edit: As promised, I came back but this time for a nose piercing!! They did an awesome job

I got a my bellybutton pierced and it was absolutely horrible. I was so crooked. When he got finished doing it I asked hey isn’t this crooked he said no it looks straight. As soon as my sister saw it she laughed and said that's so crooked. Called up there and then had to drive back just to be told by him that yeah it is a little bit. I laughed cause it was more then a little bit. Worst $45 I have ever spent.

Prob won’t come back entire staff walking around without masks but I’m not allowed to be with them as they have a procedure done? Great service (sarcasm) if your going to enforce rules follow them

Omg! Customer Service at this tattoo shop was excellent. The tattoo artist was so professional and gave me really good details on aftercare for my new tattoo. I will definitely be coming back for my next tattoo.
