BORN THIS WAY BODY ARTS REVIEWS

Jon Overton began his tattooing career in 2008. Focusing on clean linework, & smooth, bright color saturation, he brings a truly bold style to his tattoo art. He is highly sought-after for his pet portraits and watercolor interpretations, and he’s always jumping at the opportunity to tattoo pop culture icons, comic heroes, anime characters and especially Star Wars imagery! Jon has been voted as Knoxville’s best tattoo artist in Cityview Magazine’s annual “Best of the Best” readers poll.

Emily Walker-Otto began her journey into tattooing in 2011. Her signature style is illustrative and colorful. Emily has an appreciation for the nature of TN where she calls home, so she enjoys tattooing birds & other animals, bugs and funky unique things. As a rescue pet owner, Emily is passionate about honoring pets through her illustrative pet tattoo portraits. When she is not tattooing, Emily is spending time with family.

Victoria Shoup is one of Knoxville’s newest up & coming artists. Victoria loves tattooing in the neo-traditional style and her work is recognized by her bold use of lines and color. She is a versatile artist who loves new challenges and meeting new people. When not tattooing, Victoria is feeding her creativity playing video games or dressing in cosplay.

10/10 the Service Was Phenomenal!! They Worked Us in Last Minute! My Friend and I, Did Matching Tats. the Initial Tattoo Design We Wanted We Changed Last Minute Also. They Were Super Kind to Us. It Was Also My Friend’s Birthday, and the Owner Gave Her a Birthday Gift at the End of Our Visit. We Will Definitely Be Back! Our Artist Was Apache—he Killed It! Thanks Again for Dealing With Our Difficult Asses.

What an Awesome Place to Go for Piercings and Ink! I Had a Tattoo Done by an Apprentice, Rodney and I Love It. They Have Quite the Talented Artists! They Were Able to Guide Me Through the Tattoo I Wanted and Revise It a Little. I'm So Glad They Did. the People Are Engaging, and Have the Desire to Please Their Clients. They Work Super Hard and Take Great Care of People. Don't Pass This Place Up. They Are a Crew of Wonderful Souls and High Caliber Talent. Love It!!.

Angelina is the sweetest! She pieced my daughter as well as myself. She was very professional and talked through every step so that we felt comfortable! Highly recommend.

WHITT'S TRUE TATTOO COLLECTIVE REVIEWS

I’ve been going here since I moved 4 years ago and gotten 90% of my tattoos from here and all but my first ear piercings from here as well. Everyone is so nice or funny and welcoming. I’ve never had a bad experience with any of the services. The manager Angie is amazing and so fun to talk to and greeted me when I walked in and J is now helping me finish and perfect my sleeve that I’ve always wanted Highly recommend and I’ll be not only posting but telling all my friends.

Storm did an absolutely fantastic job with me & my friends piercings last night !! She was about to walk out for the evening and kindly did our piercings before she did. She was incredibly kind and funny, made us feel really comfortable and did a great job with the piercings themselves. The prices are incredible and the shop was very clean! Thanks again.

Amazing artist, great communication, good pricing, Very clean! The artist there care about what you want and work with you to get the design you want! Highly recommend!!.
