Reviews of Lone Wolf Tattoo Hermitage (Tattoo Shop)

Regina Barthel Puryear

Jason "Chicago" Ponce is the best!!!!

Casey Craft

Creative Artists & Body Pros! Exemplary work by all! Beautifully ghastly!

Katelyn Marie

I went in there to get my first tattoo and I was really nervous but when I asked them if it was as bad as I thought it was going to be and they made a joke and was just helping me feel more comfortable the people were nice and the establishment was overall pretty clean. I would definitely recommend coming here to get any sort of piercing or tattoo.

They were awful they weren’t concerned on meeting the guests need Im the stepmom of a 17 year old boy almost 18 and they wanted his birth certificate when he obviously had a liscense which works the sane my marriage liscense and my ID for a little dot in his ear. Don’t recommend it

Destiny Dunning

Very rude did not end up getting my peircing done here

Darrell Kraft

Very talented artists, very happy with my tattoos.

Marie Birdsong

Gabe was great!! Quick piercing, very professional! Thank you!!

Melissa Simmons

They are great. ...kind and curtious...and explain after care in detail!! Kara done the piercing for my daughter and was great!!

Rose Searas

I have had more than a little work done at this shop. They are always professional and work with the ideas you have to make the best art for your body. Also I had my 6 year old ears pierced there and the lady who did it took extra care to make sure they lined up perfect and took extra care when actually doing the piercing. I will absolutely be returning.

Diane Churchill

Great atmosphere and everyone there is super talented

jeanette smith

Jason is the best he's done two of mine and now he's done my boyfriends also

Melanie Hanson

I'm from St. Louis and have family here in Nashville. Back in May 2018, Rik "Bear" Sweeney was able to get me and my friend in last minute for our memorial tattoos and I couldn't be more happier with it. I get compliments all the time and I wouldn't want anyone else to tattoo me after this. I have scheduled another appointment in May of this year when I'm back down there with Bear again. I highly recommend this place and I highly recommend Bear. He is outgoing, personable, friendly, and professional. This shop has my love all the way from STL. I won't be going anywhere else!

Awesome place real nice workers Colby gave me the tattoo I wanted it looks awesome if you want ink done go here you want regret it

Christine Parker

Lone Wolf was a fabulous experience all around. Clean, nice people, and artist Ben Dixon took my ideas and turned them into real art. While he worked we had great conversation around myriad subjects of interest to us both. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks, Ben, for great work and a great experience.

Lexi McIntosh

Amazing people

Joe Simmons

Great place! Friendly staff and awesome prices! I will definitely be going back

Brewer Stinson

It costs too much

Lucas Adkins

They screw around too much. I went in 2 different times and called at least 5 times and they still never scheduled a date and never took a deposit. If you dont have time to do it thats fine but dont waste my time. I went into titan tattoo and im scheduled on my first visit. At least the people here at lone wolf are really nice...

Linsey Matrisian

Wow I've never had such an embarrassing experience on the PHONE ever, I've gotten a tattoo here and a piercing, and that horrible little troglodyte needs to stop hating her job and life so much.... She said her name was Carol I'm sure she lied.... I'll wait to get my tattoo when I go home to Seattle at slave to the needle..... So I don't have to deal with rude !!!!

Heidi Young

Got my first tattoo here from Jason. He did a great job, and made sure I was okay and comfortable. Very professional and a very talented artist.

Montie Carlo

Weird but good art

Lonely Wolf

Great people and a really cool place

Monte Hayes Jr

If you want a great tattoo you MUST go here. My artist is Jason Ponce.

Chad Taylor

My wife and I were lucky enough to get our work done by Rik Sweeney. This guy does amazing work. We highly recommend these guys and if you go there you won't regret it!

Holly Reeder

No other way to describe the experience we have each time we go get a new tattoo here except amazing!! Bear is truly a tattoo master! All the work he's done for hubby and I is spot on what we asked for and envisioned, but his cover up skills are what takes him to next level of perfection!!

Matt Swank

Daniel and Ben are the best! Lone Wolf is the only place my wife and I get tattooed at.

Don Murray

Ben is the best tattoo artist in Nashville! He is also a great guy! I love my New York Jets tattoo! I'm looking forward to getting a new tattoo ASAP.

ReDonna Johnson

Rik Sweeney (Bear) is amazing!! Cool guy and enjoyed visiting with his wife, Mrs Carol

Katie Cate

Went in for a simple a piercing. Waitied 15 minutes. One employe walked up to, looked at me and walked off, not so much as a "hi" or just a minute". Proceeded to walk off where my friend saw him do nothing more than sitting around. I understand if it's busy and everyone is working, but there was one customer and we were ignored by the other employees we saw. All they had to say is that they didn't want our money...

spooky bb

I won't get pierced by anyone else except Ketzel. She did 4 piercings in the last few months and I'll keep returning to her :) 5/5 stars

Naomi Burger

I apologize for not reviewing long ago! A couple of years ago I walked into the parlor for an estimate on a simple tattoo that I'd been wanting. The meaning behind it is extremely important to me and I could tell that the artist I spoke with understood that and really cared. Despite having a higher minimum he actually seemed to feel like my tattoo was important enough to warrant a quote well below the shop minimum. I hadn't expected to actually get tattooed that day but he had free time and I was extremely impressed and touched with his compassion and personal interest. After finalizing my design I settled in and he began. I've been tattooed before enough to have a good grasp on what to expect and how my body reacts. Even so I was pleasantly surprised at his work and attention to detail even on such a small simple tattoo. His lines were smooth and he really took his time and made sure to do his best work even though it was only a cheap piece. It turned out amazing. Even after years the lines are crisp and sharp. The text is still black and has barely faded even though it's on my wrist. It looks less than a month old still! I love it, every time I look down at my wrist and see it I feel warm and fuzzy. I got the tattoo as part of the semicolon project to remind myself that my story isn't over. It's supposed to comfort me if I ever feel depression weighing me down or feel suicidal. It does that amazingly. I trace the lines with my finger and feel myself calming immediately. Tattoos are permanent. For something that important you need an artist who cares, for whom your body means more than a paycheck. You'll get that here. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you guys for helping me keep going.

David Gleaves

Just got piercings done and Ketzel Pretzal was great. Would definitely recommended her if you're getting pierced.

Jessi Reed

Very clean, nice place. Staff was professional and friendly. Went in to get my belly button pierced, Forrest did an awesome job. I was in and out in n 15 min. Will definitely be going back to Lone Wolf in the future to get my tattoo work done!

Micah Davis

Jason did my tattoo and he did an amazing job. I love it and I got a good price for it. I'm definitely going back for my next tattoo.

David Chudacoff

Bear did a perfect job!!!

Krista Patterson

Friendly staff, patient and understanding, excellent work

Joseph L

Coldest beer in town

Melissa Gann

I can't recommend Lone Wolf Tattoo more highly, my experience was excellent. Rik worked with me to mockup the design, which incorporated a coverup. I am so happy with the results, my tattoo is beautiful.

Garry Cooper

Ben Dixon & his staff are top of the line all around some of the most talented artists that you will find any where

Elvis Prescott

Very clean and nice welcoming environment

MaKenzie Drury

I got my first tattoo done by Daniel a couple months ago on my 18th birthday. I got it on my upper back and he was so gentle. I was obviously nervous but he made the experience so great. No scabbing or anything! It still looks amazing, don't regret it a single bit! Highly recommend here, especially if you go to Daniel! Forrest pierced my forward helix a few months before and did an amazing job also! They are so friendly at Lone Wolf. Definitely going back when I want another tattoo or piercing.

Amber Koche

Was hopeful when we called before taking the ride in, but after a 30 minute drive we were turned away so the artist could tattoo his girlfriend instead. I would have happily given a deposit over the phone to make an appointment, but was told there was no need. Wish I would have read the reviews first. Overall could care less attitude.

Daniel McClung

Being the best known shop around Nashville I went here first for my new tattoo. They were rude, had very few pictures (like 20), looked at me like a monkey doing a math problem when I asked a question, and really didn't care about that I had to drive in the biggest rain storm in 300 years (not an exaggeration) to get there. They wanted me to make an appointment to bring in a picture. Not to get the tattoo, just to bring in a picture, get a price and set up the next appointment for the tattoo! Are you freak'n kidding me! I went Dreaming Ink in Smyrna and they were awesome! That is $250 Lone Wolf could have gotten that they didn't, just because they didn't care.

Jamie-Leigh H

Always great work and great conversation!

Steve Woods

Professional and AWESOME Artists

Sheri's Hemp Hub

Nice place...long wait!

mark henry

for several years I have thought about getting my targus pierced . I had been putting it off because of the pain . Shelby was more then understanding and reassuring . Amazingly she made the process as close to painless as a piercing can be . she went on to carefully explain how to take care of my new targus piercing . Huge THANK YOU to …… Shelby and the staff at lone wolf hermitage .

David Briggs

Ketzel is the best. We drove almost 200 miles and it definitely was worth it.

Case Garner

Been working on my sleeve there with Jason for months now, not only is my tattoo awesome but the people that work there are pretty cool. I always recommend people to go here when they are asking around about tattoos, 10/10

Jamie Clements

My girlfriend and I love our tattoos Ben did. What a cool guy and a great artist. He's a TN icon. The Full Moon Festival is a must!

not important lol

One word.. awesome. The crew was friendly, the work was way beyond what I had expected. Five plus plus plus stars. I'd recommend checking them out for all your tattoo and piercing needs.

Jacy Shumate

This place was great. The girl up front was very friendly and the consultation was quick and easy. The artist, Jason, was nice & easy to communicate with. He made my first tattoo experience a great one!

Jessica Hopkins

Jason ponce did my tattoo june 28th 2017 he did such an amazing job and i plan to return in the future for my next tattoo

Allison Jones

I had a great experience there. My artist, Jason, did a perfect job and was a very nice guy. I will also add the owner and other staff I met in there were all cool people, too. The line work on the lettering is flawless. He fit me in his schedule last minute on my birthday and was patient with me picking a font. The shop itself is a gem all on it's own. It's also a movie theatre and has crazy cool props from classic film throughout where they also show old movies on Fridays and Saturdays. I'm looking forward to seeing Groundhogs Day on the big screen, again! Thanks for everything, guys! I won't be going anywhere else!❤❤❤

TLS TN

The employees are very friendly and helpful and the place is clean and interesting. My only complaint which is not the fault of Staff or management, they are always very busy and there's usually a pretty long wait. It would be cool if they scheduled appointments for piercings

Gerald Nidiffer

Relaxed. Great concessions

Christy Lemon

Wonderful artists and really clean.

Bu Blank

honestly the best piercing experience i've ever had, and an incredibly friendly staff!

Hailey Carter

LOVE this place! Went to get a nose piercing done almost a week ago and have had no problems at all whatsoever with it. Ask for Ketzel if your going in for a piercing; she did an amazing job, was a very clean and professional environment. Highly recommend for piercings! :)

Angela Crawford

Called to set up appointment. Refused to make appointment said we would have to walk in. We already have a tattoo from them. It is a 2 and a half hour drive. We will be dropping in while we are in town. But will never get another tattoo there.

Cindy Hellard

friendly staff. only place we go

Josh Krahn

Messed up my step daughters dimple piercing. One is good but ther other is to high and bruising her gums. Do not recomend for piercings

Natalie Miles

My guy Rik Sweeney. Has done it again! He started on another of now 3 tattoos I've had done by him. Always impressed with his work.

ben tyree

Best tattoo in tn

Kevin Hghers

Called for an appointment on a Saturday, They got me in 2 days later which was great because it was my first tattoo, Gave me less time to worry about it and chicken out. Jason Ponce was my artist and You couldn't ask for a more personable, professional gentleman who takes his time double and triple checking his work to make sure that its right even involving the customer all the way to ensure that the tattoo is Exactly what you are expecting. We even talked throughtout the process, So it was finished perfectly before I realized it. Would highly recommend Lone Wolf and especially Jason Ponce. Already have plans for my second tattoo. For all first timers, It was a breeze. Thank You to Lone Wolf and Jason, You've got a lifetime customer. Sincerely, Kevin Highers

Steven Becwar

Paul Ratliff does great work! Very happy with my tattoo and will definitely return.

A. Kennedy

Sarah did a great job on my industrial a couple of days ago! A big thanks to her! The other staff members there were friendly. I love the shop itself. I'll definitely be going back for other piercings. And this will be the first place I look into when I am ready for new ink!

Rick Johnson

Ben has done my last 3 and he is great.

John Dzeima

Great artists, great work! Ask for Daniel.

Phil Latta

Unless you can show up there when someone is there, don't waste your time. We called 3 days in a row to ensure they would be open, were told they were there till 8:00 pm and we didn't need an appointment . Showed up shortly after 7:00 pm all 3 nights and the place was closed. All 3 nights my girlfriend and 4 of her friends were going to get thier hoods pierced, what a loss of revenue. We finally called Queen of Hearts and they were open, and did an amazing job. And, there was no little kid running around the studio. Who does that? Yeah, go see Queen of Hearts studio, much more knowledgeable, professional and they are actually open when they say they going to be open.

Randi Hutson

Great staff

anthony oliver

bring birth certificate for piercing under age but great service

Joe Bates

So far i have an appt. We will see what they deliver

Joshua Garrett

Amazing experince at the shop, our artist Daniel Bostic was awesome, never pushing us to do more than we were ready for. Both my wife and myself will be coming back for more work.

Justin Keith

Super AWESOME place!!!! People are very knowledgeable. Most importantly very helpful

Shelley Mapes
