The Rook x Raven Tattoo Creative

This was my first time at Rook x Raven. Ian did my tattoo. He’s extremely gentle and precise. My only complaint is now all my other tattoos look like trash because his work is so phenomenal. I can’t wait to go back!

If you haven't looked into getting ink from Rook x Raven, you are sorely missing out. They were the first shop I looked into upon moving to the area and have become my instant favorite. I've had work done by Jesse and Kat. They were both professional, friendly, and talented. Do yourself a favor and trust the artistic instincts of the artists at this shop. You won't be disappointed!

I was finally inked with my very first tattoo and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience at this place. The place was very nice and clean. My artist, Kat, was super sweet. Her demeanor was so pleasant that it definitely put me at ease because I was little nervous. I love the final result! Would definitely recommend this place to others.

Update: went back to let Kat do a touch up and ended up getting some color added to my tattoo. I'm BEYOND pleased with Kat"s work. Can't wait to get my next tattoo. Go check out Kat. You won't be disappointed.

I had a great experience here! Reggie did a great Job with my Tattoo! He took his time to make sure all the details I wanted were exact! Not 100% sure what the piercers name is but she was great as well! From my piercing to my tattoo experience was fantastic! It’s a clean and sanitary place that I would recommend all my family and friends too!

This tattoo shop is professional and clean and the staff are also professional and polite. I think professionalism is lacking in most tattoo shops, so it's a pleasant surprise here.They even have a new smoothie/coffee/food bar, which is an added perk. Ian (owner) is a truly talanted artist (who specializes in portraits) but can do damn near any concept. He did a cover up on me and I'm extremely pleased with it; I couldn't be happier with the finished work. I also got 2 piercings from Tay. She was thorough and friendly. I highly recommend this place.

The shop was amazing! Jesse was great and made me feel very comfortable during my tattoo. They made time for my friend and I to come in short notice and gave incredible service. Would definitely recommend for anyone getting a tattoo in the Memphis area.

Rook x Raven is easily the best tattoo parlor you could go to in Memphis. I’ve been tattooed by Jesse, had a half day session with Kat and a full day session with Ian all within the last 3 months. They always find ways to take my ideas and make them even better than I imagined whilst making sure my original idea is still there. They take their time and it always shows in the final product. They’re always so friendly too and it helps to calm nerves a whole lot. I’ve also been pierced by Tay several times and the piercings always heal the way they should. Madison is also a great shop manager, extremely polite and friendly and makes me feel welcome whenever I come in.
I can’t recommend Rook x Raven enough, it’s a wonderful shop with great artists who have the talent and personality to back it up.

Me and my boyfriend went in on flash Friday to get tattoos. I went on flash Friday so that I could test out the shop before I made an appointment for my big piece I wanted to get there by a specific artist(not the artist that did this tattoo) but I definitely won’t be going back for that. The piece I got was a small rose on a stem and it was honestly so simple but somehow its still not right. The tattoo artist BARELY shaded the tattoo, there are literal bare spots throughout it and she drew the stencil different from the picture I picked so the tattoo isn’t even the same. I’m highly disappointed I looked for weeks for a good tattoo shop and was surprised when they offered this flash Friday deal but I should’ve known it was too good to be worth it. Wouldn’t recommend for a tattoo even a cheap one but everybody was nice and the shop is designed well if that even matters. I’m definitely going back for my free touch up as soon as I can, hopefully they’ll fix it a little.

Had my first tattoo done today and Jesse hooked me up! Looked all over the Memphis area for someone to start what will become a sleeve, and Rook x Raven was the most impressive. All the staff is friendly and approachable. These people dont just want your business, they want to be a part of your art. Love my piece and I look forward to adding to it

Jesse did my tattoo. Her work was great and I plan on going to her again to get another tattoo and to add to the one I just got. Gave four stars because it's a bunch of young people and as a first time guest, they didn't make me feel welcome. Basically walked past me and conversed among each other while I waited. But other than that, nice shop.
