Battleground Tattoo Parlour

Amazing work done here! Everyone here is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful; the facility is beautiful and clean. I can’t recommend Battleground Tattoo Parlour enough!

Artists are friendly and the shop was very clean! My husband got a 6 he tattoo and it look amazing. Brian Russell did a fantastic job!

I went to Battleground to have my first tattoo and cannot say enough good things about this business. Everything from the initial consultation to the actual tattooing was a great experience. Will always took the time to listen, answer questions, and made me feel relaxed about the whole process. Also the artwork is flat out incredible. It truly was refreshing to experience this type of customer service and I cannot wait to go back!

It was my first tattoo and it was on the RIBS! Brian was amazing and made me feel comfortable and relaxed the whole time. My tattoo turned out amazing and dare I say it, perfect! I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.

Love the shop and it’s atmosphere! Went the first time last October and was sent Tasha’s way (turning photo references to Disney style) and loved the whole experience and my idea came out wonderful! I came back to Tasha for my next idea back in June (multi visit piece) and not only was she excited about what I wanted, EVERYONE who sees my work is always telling me how great they look! Always happy to send the curious her way! I usually wait a few years in between tattoo ideas (working on my 5th) but I have found someone who does amazing work with my ideas so now I’m in trouble lol definitely 5stars across the board!

I had such a positive experience with Will this morning that I had to share about it. I’ve been thinking about some work for a while now and had gone to two other artists for consultations before deciding to stop in at Battleground. Unlike the two previous conversations I had at other shops, Will took the time to educate me on how what I wanted to do would evolve over time and how I might want to rethink my idea a bit. He knew that I was a novice to tattooing and he treated me as such. On top of all that, the shop has an amazing vibe and his colleagues were also super friendly. Once I ultimately decide what I want to do there is no question where I’m going. Thanks, Will.

The pedantic gentleman named Will was so nice to me! Definitely set the tone for tattoo professionals of this city's demographic. He even told me that he gives free tattoos to anyone who pulls his beard! Can't wait to see him again

I had gotten a arm sleeve tattoo done recently in Nashville (yesterday to be exact) and although I absolutely love the piece was a little concerned with the aftercare advice - it was little too none. He suggested I shower twice a day and use jergens lotion frequently to help the healing process. Thankfully I decided to get a second opinion. I stopped in at battleground because it’s in my neighborhood and was blown away by the customer service and friendly staff. The owner Will went out of his way to take the time and explain to me the importance of aftercare to ward off infections and also prolong the longevity of you’re tattoo. Free of charge he took me into his booth and showed me how to properly apply aqua for too it and have me a handout he gives all his clients easily explaining how to take care of it over the next four weeks. I had a suspicion my original artist had neglected to explain to me that importance and I am so glad I stopped in to meet Will because he most likely saved me a ton of trouble - remember this will be on my body for life and I want to take the best possible care available and me having not had a huge piece done before was ignorant to the fact.

Been making the 2 hour drive to come to this shop for years now. Very clean and professional atmosphere . Brian Russle is one of a kind at his skill and always gives you his honest opinion and design recommendations . The owner and other artist are friendly and make me feel at home every time I'm there.

My first tattoo, and I couldn’t have chosen a better artist. Terrific job with my idea, the detail for a small (3”) tattoo Is great. Great experience with a great guy.

Best experience of my life! Thanks to Brian rustle for the amazing tattoo and being so friendly! And no they don’t do piercings haha

There isn’t a better shop in middle TN in regards to artistry. pair that with the insane amount of knowledge , cleanliness and over-all love for the craft and they’ll give the best in the south-east a run for the money.

I had an exceptional experience with Will at Battleground Tattoo. I got tattoos with three of my friends from college. He was professional and personable. We had great conversations with him while we each took turns in his chair. I would most definitely recommend and return in the future.

Will was amazing! A group of us (college besties) booked some time to get some small tats. Will was awesome! He was so informative and helpful. The work he did was amazing! We were so impressed. Although we were staying in Mt. Juliet it was well worth the drive to battleground. Will was so friendly and we had great conversations! If we come to TN again we’ll definitely be stopping in. Thanks Will!!

Battle Ground Tattoo Parlour was extremely professional, welcoming, and most importantly talented! I worked with Tasha who drew my piece exactly how I imagined, taking in all my requests and devising a way to implement them creatively! Tasha was also very professional and friendly! I’m very excited to get more work done from Tasha and Battle Ground Tattoo Parlour in the future!

This was my first tattoo, and I had an absolutely wonderful experience. Everything was great, and it came out better than I could ever have imagined. Will was great. And I am still in awe of how well it turned out.

Let me start by saying I’m 73 years old and have never had a tattoo. I’ve considered it for the 6 years since my granddaughter Rosie was born. I finally got brave and did some research on Google. I decided to try Battleground Tattoo Parlour in Franklin, TN. Brian Russell was my tattoo artist and he put me at ease right from the start. The parlour itself is very clean and everyone was very welcoming. I got a small rosebud (for Rosie) tattoo by my left ankle and I’m glad I did. Thanks so much Brian for a great experience! Vicki

Met for consultation. Brian made some adjustments and gave me some great ideas that would work best. I'm excited to head in there in a few weeks to get my tattoo.

This was my first tattoo. Brian Russell was my artist and he was very professional. I am blind and he made sure to take time and explain to me everything he was doing. He gave me suggestions on placement and design too. Bottom line is I love it!!!!!! Thank you Brian for your time and expertise in doing my first tattoo!!! You will see me again!!!! Gracie!!!

I had my 1st tattoo tonight!! Brian was extremely nice and professional. I was very nervous and he answered every question I had. About a million. Highly recommend this tattoo shop!!
