Clean, sterile environment. They use all disposable equipment so nothing ever has the chance to be used twice. They also have the latest in tattooing equipment. Great bunch of folks in there doing their thing. They have our support forever.

This review is solely based on the interaction I had. The first impression was enough for me to decide that I wouldn’t be going there. Instead of leaving a long-winded review, I decided to leave one star and be done with it. However, since the person who works at this business wants to call me names like a child, when this is an objective service provided by Google to rate businesses, it only confirms that I was right in leaving a one star review. You’re not going to bully me into changing my rating. Now, let me give some details as to why I gave this place a one-star review. When my husband and I walked into the shop, I talked to the man up front and asked about the possibility of getting a tattoo for both of my parents who had passed away suddenly this year. I was aiming to check out a few artists and go with the one I was most comfortable with. We didn’t want to take up anyone’s time, just wanted to ask about availability and ask where the best place would be to check out the different artists work, so I could make a decision and book an appointment. We were told they have portfolios that we could check out and look at some of the artwork online. We were perfectly content with doing that and being on our way, when another tattoo artist comes over and starts asking questions about the tattoo I want and shows me a few pictures that are comparable. He said that he could definitely do the tattoo, no problem, even though I hadn’t even been able to tell him that I needed an artist that would be available on Mother’s Day because he kept interrupting me in the middle of talking to tell us how talented he was at new techniques despite being new to them and continued to show more of the portrait paintings he had been working on. They were very good, but I wasn’t getting portraits and he knew that. However, since he said that he could do my tattoos, and was spending time conversing with us, I thought I would ask more specific questions regarding what I wanted. When I tried have any type of back-and-forth dialogue, he continued to interrupt me, and when I finally stopped he was like, “Go ahead, I’m listening.” I tried talking again, but he pulled us over to his station and started talking about his paintings again. I had no issue with the artist preparing a sleeve when I came in. I knew he was busy, we had just walked in, and that’s why I didn’t interact with him, because I didn’t want to distract him from prepping a piece that someone was coming in to get, and had already paid money for. I mentioned that I wanted to do it on Mother’s Day if that was possible and the guy who had been talking to us said that he couldn’t do it, but the guy who was prepping the sleeve said that he would. The one who said he couldn’t do it continued to converse with me and when I said to him, “I just want the artist I choose to understand how significant this is to me, in honoring my parents” He responded with, “You will insult an artist by asking them that, to put that pressure on them. It just stresses them out. Their job is to do your tattoo. You came to us for a service- not the other way around. I’ve had people who come in who have lost children, parents, etc. and I don’t talk to them about it at all because they get upset and then have to take a break.” I understood and agreed with that. But, that is not what I wanted. Because he had cut me off yet again, I was not allowed to elaborate on what I meant by that. I didn’t want a therapist to cry with. I just wanted an understanding artist, that would listen to me, respect how powerful this event would be to someone who has lost both of her parents very recently, and unexpectedly. Most importantly, I wanted this to be a day that was about honoring them, not overshadowed by a tattoo artist who would be callous, talk over me, or not listen to what I wanted. Thoroughout the interaction, that is exactly what you did, and that is why I wanted to go in and feel the place out, to avoid exactly what happened at your shop. That is why I gave a one star rating.

My parents live in Maryville and I visit from New York. There was a tattoo that I had in mind for a long time, but I could not find an artist that I was comfortable with doing it. I talked to a bunch of artists in New York about it and no one made me feel that they understood how important it was to me that this tattoo be perfect. While visiting my parents I decided to check out a few of the shops nearby I heard good things about a few shops in the area. When I walked in to Distinct tattoo I met Tavi who at the time was doing a beautiful piece on a young woman. When I told him about the tattoo I wanted he actually seemed excited about the design and for the first time in my search I felt that I found an artist who understood how important it was that certain details of this tattoo were right. Tavi was great he squeezed me in for an appointment the next evening so I could get it done before I had to go home. I am a chef and this tattoo is of my knife, not of a chef knife but actually of my chef knife and it’s surrounded by my favorite flowers. Even though it is a knife I still wanted it to look feminine and it does. Tavi nailed it from the proportions of the knife to the beautiful stippling that shades the handle and the tiniest details in the shading of the flowers. It’s a true masterpiece from a very talented artist and I will be back.

Eric is awesome! I decided to get a tattoo in the spur of the moment I called at 8pm and he got me in at 11pm. He did an amazing job, I absolutely love it! He was very gentle and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. Thank you so much! We will definitely be coming back!

Wonderful experience. The owner talked to me about my tattoo and told me exactly how he could fix it. Very happy with their work. Thanks so much

Rodney Minor

Quality work, great prices, and top of the line equipment. These guys use methods and machines that you've never seen before. Best part is, they're available 24/7. If no one is there, you can call the number on the door and they'll swing by within minutes. Give them a chance and stop by to see what they're working on!
