Tenth Street Tattoo

I came here Saturday with just a bunch of ideas. MIKEY LEHMAN took notes, looked at the pics and showed him and gave me some ideas what could look good.
I made an appointment with him for Monday. The pics he drew all looked nice, but neither one was hundred percent. So he pulled out his sharpy, started and drew the most beautiful tattoo, considering each thing I liked on the four options he gave me and everything I wanted.
The price he estimated was for black and white, I have to say I did not tell him I wanted color, he still HONORED the rate!!!
I put a lot of time, work, thought and dedication into it and made it look beautiful!!!
This was my first tattoo and he made the whole experience great! He made sure I am comfortable and told me each step of the process.
Ask for MIKEY LEHMAN he is a true artist!!!

Walked in and got my tattoo done the same day with Mark. I’ve been thinking about getting one for a long time and finally went for it. Mark walked me through the whole process and was very patient in answering all of my questions. He told me he has 23 years of experience and it shows. I would definitely recommend him.

I decided to get my first tattoo at 28. I thought about it for years and finally decided to go for it. My best friend had been tattooed here a few times and had nothing but great things to say. My tattoo idea was original and I took it to Shane about a week in advance, because I figured he would need a bit to draw up my random idea. When I went in, I decided to have 2 done because I had waited 28 years and I might as well go crazy. The first one took 2 hours and Shane was engaging me in conversation the whole time. I barely felt it. The second was a bit worse (words on my ribs), but he was fast and I feel like the pain was minimal. I get constant compliments on my big one and I always tell people where I had it done. The place is super clean, the entire staff is nice and the price is right. I’ve since been back and had more tattoos done. I always recommend this place and have never gotten a bad review from someone I sent.

My friend recommended Mark at 10^th street tattoo. She’d recently got her first tattoo and actually went back to get another one from him a few weeks later. I’d been to one shop before coming here and I didn’t have a pleasant experience so I didn’t end up getting anything done. I decided to give 10^th street a try since my friend had a great experience. I called Mark on a Thurs so I could talk to him and let him know what I was interested in and to see his availibility for Friday. I told him the size and words I wanted, he said it was pretty straight forward. I also mentioned to him my trip to the beach in a little over 3 weeks and he said I’d be fine.
After work on Friday I drove straight to 10^th street. I showed Mark the pictures on my phone of the words and symbol and showed him the placement on my body. He said it was great and he could definitely do it and it wouldn’t take long… like max 15 min. That was great for me because it being my first one and not knowing what to expect– the quicker the better lol. I felt very comfortable here.
Before he started the tattoo, I was able to see exactly where it would be and how it would look to make sure it was the exact location. I decided to move it slightly. I’m glad I was able to preview it though… being that it’s permanent and all.
Once I got in the chair I tried to relax. He told me to let him know if I needed him to stop or anything like that but reassured me I’d be okay. I’m glad someone thought I’d be okay because I wasn’t sure I was going to be lol. We talked through the whole thing which caused me to be at ease. It didn’t hurt nearly as bad as I thought– actually it didn’t really hurt at all. A few times it was uncomfortable but just something you’d grit your teeth over. He was done before I knew it. I went to look at the final product and was extremely happy. It was exactly what I’d been wanting for so many years.
If youre getting your first tattoo or a tattoo in general I fully recommend 10^th street. They are great, everyone is nice. You can ask as many questions as you need and they’ll answer them. The prices are very decent also.

Originally I came down to tenth street tattoo because I’d heard that Gucci mane got his ice cream cone on his face done by Shane. The ink he’s put onto my body has made me soo happy! If you’re looking to get a clean well done tattoo, definitely come here! Shane is GREAT and does excellent black and grey as well as everything else under the sun! He is very experienced, talented and personable. He’s been tattooing over 20 years now. He’s done all 4 of mine so far and I get several compliments daily. I’ve posted all mine in the photos section if you care to see the work he’s done on me. The work he did on my shoulder was original and fantastic. Their prices are also great for the area and quality of art. I was referred by a repeat customer (the Gucci incident mentioned above) of Shane’s and I in return have referred my fiancé among many others. Everyone loves tenth street!
My fiancé’s tattoo is the mermaid one listed in the pictures and my four subsequently follow.

When you walk in the place smells great, it looks cleans and they have a nice, waiting area with a super throwback coca cola machine. For the health freaks like me, the pops are made with sugar not high fructose corn syrup so it’s worth the $ 1.25 in quarters for a refreshment. I went last Sunday for my second time getting a tattoo done by Mickey. The guy is super friendly, very patient, talks plenty (keeps you distracted from the pain) and when it comes down to figuring out how you want your tattoo to look, he makes it happen. Both times that I have gone there, I have not felt my tattoo’s were overpriced and I have always walked out satisfied. They are no longer doing piercings but they refer you to another place down the street. In Georgia, this is the spot i trust for tattoo’s.

If you’re looking to get a tattoo, definitely come here! My tattoo artist’s name is Shane and he’s GREAT! Very experienced, talented and personable. He’s done 2 of mine so far and I get several compliments all the time. The work he did on my cover-​up last week is simply amazing. Their prices are also good, especially for the area. I was referred by a repeat customer of theirs and I in return referred my best-​friend. He has a body full of tats that were all done overseas. He had yet to find someone here he really liked but now he has! There are tons of tattoo places around town but I promise you, you won’t regret coming here!

Went here to get two lobe piercings and a tragus piercing. The piercing part was cool and he was a cool dude, but what came later was horrible. I guess he didn’t think about my ears swelling up after the piercing when he recommended my jewelry. My ears got huge and the jewelry backs got stuck inside my lobe. he tightened the posts so tight that they couldn’t be unscrewed, even with pliers. ended up having to pull the jewelry through (almost gauging my ears) after, I tried to put normal earrings in the holes but they were too big from having to pull the jewelry through. The piercer sucked at picking out jewelry is the moral of the story. Go to Vice & Virtue instead of this place. they’re awesome and have much better jewelry.

I’m going to start with the most obnoxious part: I’ve had tattoos done all over the world. Now that that’s out of the way, I want to tell you why I’ve never rated a tattoo shop or an artist with five stars but why I’m bestowing this on Shane: He’s AMAZEBALLS!
The scene: I’m in Atlanta for the first time and I almost always commemorate such experiences with a tattoo. I’m asking about going to (Insert Unmentionable Competitor’s shop) and the guy at the check-​in counter was like «Wait, I know this amazing guy — we should see if he could take you». And, as it turns out, he could. Because it’s not a friggin’ payday.
I wanted to add a phoenix to a design I already had on my chest. I came in with a clear idea of what I wanted, and Shane gave his advice and we slightly modified it. This was my largest tattoo and I’m not going to lie and say it didn’t hurt — the sternum isn’t exactly the most fun place to tattoo — but Shane kept me distracted and got it done in about 90 minutes.
I love everything about his work — he’s humble, talented, has a steady hand and an eye for what’s going to look great. I’ve got a few more ideas about «what’s next» and if I’m back in town, it’ll be 10^th Street Tattoo I’m calling to get it done!

i don’t get a tattoo from just anyone (i learned enough about that in my younger years) because that person is going to leave a mark on me for life.
in the time (which is hours and hours upon excruciating hours) that i’ve spent under the needle of Mark Mcgee, i’m glad to say that i’ve found a true artist that is chock full of integrity. not once has he blown me off with a bullshit excuse, and has been honest about outcome, money and time.

I was tattooed recently by Jevon so I felt that warranted an update.
I came in with a pretty solid idea of what I wanted and source material in hand (an evil cupcake, for those curious). He tweaked it a bit, but generally stayed true to the original. This is one of the few tattoos that I’ve been pretty stubborn about what I wanted and he took it in stride. I was expecting the actual tattoo to hurt a bit more because part of it was on my collarbone. I’ve been tattooed enough to know where’s going to sting a little and where I can just take a nap.
To my surprise, it barely bothered me. He was quick, light, and kept me laughing. I even did yawn a few times and had to check to see where he was tattooing because I knew it was *supposed* to hurt more. From the time he put the stencil on to getting bandaged, it was less than an hour. Not bad at all. I’d recommend him with absolute confidence.

**CLOSED (well, as far as I’m concerned)**
It’s a sad sad day, as Mr. Patrick Carmack has taken up residency in Austin… Buh bye my little morself of convenience!
