To celebrate National Tattoo Day, we’ve compiled a list of a few Charlotte tattoo shops that always catch our eye when drive by (and scroll by on Instagram). Each of these parlors is filled to the brim with talented artists who run the gamut of styles, designs, and ideas.
Whether you want a realistic black-and-grey pterodactyl wearing a cowboy hat, a traditional style rose with a dagger, or even something super original like an infinity symbol on your wrist with the word “abide,” there is a tattoo artist in the Queen City who can turn your dream into a reality.
This is by no means a definitive list of the dozens of shops and hundreds of talented artists in Charlotte, but it’s a great place to start if you’re looking to get your first (or 20th) permanent masterpiece. Give these shops and artists a follow! And that tattoo you’ve been thinking about for years? Life’s short, go get it!
WE NEED YOUR HELP
We know tattoos are very personal. These are just some of our favorites. But, we may have missed yours. We’re going to keep this list going. So, if you have a suggestion of a parlor that should be added, let us know here. (PSST! We’ll need a name and a website or an Instagram feed to help us find them.)
