Chattanooga
Custom tattooing and piercing in Chattanooga.
The shop
Ironwood started in the back of a print shop on Kiln Alley with two chairs and a borrowed autoclave. The print shop is gone. The chairs are still here, and so are the two people who bought them.
We draw everything. Bring in a photograph off the internet and the first thing you will be asked is what you like about it — then you get something that is yours instead.
What we handle
Original work drawn for one person, from a first conversation through to the finished piece.
Reworking or covering existing tattoos.
Small-scale detail work and script.
Ear, nose, and body piercing with implant-grade jewellery.
Track record
Booked a half sleeve after seeing one piece on the wall. She redrew it twice before we started and never once made me feel like I was being difficult.

Walked in on a Thursday for something small. Out in forty minutes, priced exactly what they quoted at the counter.

Ironwood Tattoo Club holds 4.9 stars across 412 Google reviews.
Walk-ins are welcome when an artist is free; larger pieces start with a booked consultation. Call (423) 555-0118 to check the day.
There is a shop minimum, and anything larger is priced by the artist after a consultation. Bring a reference and a rough size and you can be quoted the same day.
A deposit holds the appointment and comes off the final price. It is forfeited on a no-show or a late reschedule.
You must be 18 with a government-issued photo ID. Age rules for minors with a guardian vary by state, so call (423) 555-0118 before making the trip.
Cover-ups and rework start with a consultation, because what is possible depends on the size, age, and ink density of what is already there.
Keep the wrap on as long as your artist tells you, wash gently with unscented soap, pat dry, and use a thin layer of aftercare ointment. No soaking, no pools, no direct sun until it has finished peeling.
Call the shop with what you have in mind — reference images, placement, rough size.
