Reviews of Safe House Tattoo Studio

Kristen Brashear

Best tattoo experience by far. Christopher Cousins reached out to me soon after filling out the easy form and he was able to get me in way sooner than expected. He had drawn up something for me I never would have thought of and it was amazing! He made sure I was comfortable the whole time and was very clean. I’m so in love with my new tattoo! Christopher was also very thorough with after care instructions which I really appreciated. Super cool place and amazing people. I’ll be coming back for sure.

Shane Smith

I’ve been wanting to have my back Tattooed as a tribute to my military service and as a nod to where I grew up as a kid. I decided to go Americana Sailor Jerry Style Clipper ship. So here is where this journey begins. So Greatful to SafeHouse for helping to make this dream come true for me. Everyone is very nice and helpful, very calm and relaxed atmosphere. The Artist are very knowledgeable and work very well as a team bouncing ideas off eachother. I highly recommend these guys if your needing a artist! Thank you again SafeHouse @ChristopherCousins see y’all soon! (First and Second Sessions posted I’ll edit again after the third session)

Thomas Broussard

Got my first tattoo at Safehouse with English and it was a great experience. Everyone in the shop was super friendly and it was a relaxing environment. The design I got far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them to anyone. English killed it.

Austin Haynie

Safe House is an incredible location to get a tattoo. Not only are the vibes immaculate, but the entire setup from check in to tattooing is special. Everyone there is a pure gem and a professional at their craft. Each artist has a unique style and they have someone for you. I've gotten all 5 of my tattoos here, and plan to keep coming back as long as I can. Christopher is my go to artist and I love everything that he has done for me. He is a great artist and takes his time to make sure everything is to his and your liking! UPDATE: Go visit Jordan also, he is a MADMAN and super talented!!

Meagan Phimmasone

I had such a great experience at safe house, I would recommend them to anyone! The building is clean, staff is friendly with amazing artists... I have already had so many questions asking where I got my latest tattoo done (thanks Nathan for doing such an awesome job!). While it can take a while to get an appointment, I see that as a great sign. I would much rather wait longer and have an amazing tattoo over getting one ASAP and it be mediocre… Thanks again for the great experience.

John Burman (Banini)

Really cool shop with a really cool vibe! Adam is a really cool dude and his work is awesome! In fact I'd love to get work from a bunch of artists here! I was visiting TN and i was looking to get a tattoo from someone as I'd otherwise not be around. There was a mix up with booking but they hooked me up and got me a spot, so i was lucky enough to get something while in town. All the artists are really talented, i highly recommend coming here, even just for flash!

Elaine Trueba

Everything about my experience was fantastic! The shop is beautiful, everyone is super professional and friendly. I am completely obsessed with my two new pieces! Carrie was prompt with email communication after I filled out the request form. I could tell off the bat that I had made the right choice. She made the entire tattoo process super comfortable for me, and took the time to make sure there was a partition around her station before she even took me back, because I had to be topless the whole time. My tattoos are absolutely beautiful, exactly what I wanted, and didn’t take her long at all to do. I highly recommend this shop, especially Carrie Cameron. Seriously look her up on Instagram, she’s a beast!!!!

Ashley Stamper

This shop is the best. Ian and his crew are incredibly kind and talented and the shop is gorgeous. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

Andy Liter

Great experience. Friendly, professional, and super clean. English Cousins had an opening and fit me in for my first tattoo. She does awesome work and I could not be happier! Picture is from 50hrs after. I'm impressed how well it's healed.

Cierra H

I had a great experience at Safe House. The space is beautiful and clean, they had safety precautions in place, and the whole experience was an easy and comfortable process. Christopher is a super talented artist and shows incredible attention to detail. I am so happy with how my tattoo turned out. I plan on making the (three hour) drive again for any future tattoos, it's definitely worth it. Would highly recommend Safe House, and specifically Christopher, for anyone looking for an amazing tattoo!

Joshua Squires

Friendly helpful and incredibly talented lot. Particularly during a global health crisis. I asked English to draw up my dog in the style of a popular religious icon. She nailed every detail and the color is perfect. She was friendly and personable, which is definitely something you want in someone you'll be very close to for 7hrs. Can't recommend them enough. Especially if you are in the market for a pet portrait!

Riley Fitch

I visited Safe House Tattoo on July 23, 2020 and it was AWESOME!! The COVID-19 precautions were on point (temp checks, frequent hand washing and masks) and the waiting area was super chill. I got two pieces from Chris Cousins and he was great. They where my first pieces and i was super nervous but Chris made me feel super welcome and did a great job. Awesome conversation during the tattooing which was nice and helped calm my nerves. The art is freaking awesome and I will most definitely be coming back for more!!

Norman Daniel

I had an awesome first experience at Safe House. The place was throughly clean, staff was friendly, and setting up an appointment online was simple. My artist was Christopher Cousins who I would highly recommend. Will definitely keep coming back for all my tattoo needs.

MuckleBones

Amazing service and artistry. Nathan has some of the best work I have gotten so far, amazing work.

K R

They live up to their motto- a safe place for the Artists and art wearers. Everyone there is super Friendly and amazing! The shop was cute and clean. My artist Chip was super great and I love my new artwork! You can tell all the artists love what they do! All the other artists there working were super friendly too! Safe House will now be my forever tattoo home for all my future art. I highly recommend going, and cant wait to get my next piece.

Jeremy Thompson

Very cool tattoo shop. All the artists are top notch. The location is very cool and in an old manufacturing plant of some kind with really old tools on display. This is a very clean shop with every sort of costumer. You won't feel out of place here.

Jim Jantz

Awesome shop. Clean, great atmosphere. 5/5 for sure. And Skout is an incredible artist. So kind and easy to work with, and also so talented. Cannot recommend her enough, and I’ll be going back in the future.

Abigail Maxwell

Chris Cousins was my artist. I came to him with an idea for my first tattoo and he brought it to life with perfection. All the staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The space was beautiful and incredibly clean. I will continue to get tattooed at Safe House and look forward to my next visit!

Martina Johnson

Loved my experience at Safe House! The facility was clean, well decorated, and very welcoming. Prior to coming in, they were very responsive through email and answered all of my questions. Adam Jackson was my artist and did a fantastic job!! I'm very pleased with the final product.

Skyler Stanton

I had a fairly large back piece done by Ben Ritchie and it turned out absolutely amazing! He was very professional and overall a very kind and fun person as well as an amazing artist. And the rest of the staff were just as welcoming and nice! As the name suggests, it felt like a very safe environment to be tattooed in. Safe house will definitely be my go to tattoo parlor from here on out!

Somer Schuyler

I had a great experience from start to finish! Josh was great at communicating Chip's availability and keeping me updated. I sent a couple of references for my tattoo and Chip had a stencil of exactly what I had envisioned. I was very impressed that without ever speaking to Chip directly before my appointment he managed to come up with exactly what I wanted. The shop was extremely clean and very welcoming. I had a great experience and I am so thrilled with how my tattoo came out. Get on Chip's waiting list if you can, you will not be disappointed!

Lauren Mincey

I got my first tattoo at Safe House this week! My artist English did a bee on my ribs and it is everything I could have asked for and more! Incredible artwork. The staff are very polite and professional. And the studio is very clean, welcoming, and warm. Could not have picked a better place to get inked for the first time. I highly recommend!

Janie T

Will absolutely recommend to anyone expressing interest in getting a tattoo! The space is clean and comfortable, the people are friendly and welcoming along with being passionate and competent at what they do. Pricing is reasonable, better than a number of other parlors I looked at before coming here. Adam Jackson did my tattoo and he was awesome - knowledgeable, professional & encouraging (he gave me plenty of thoughtful advice and was extra considerate of my comfort without an ounce of condescension). Fun, relaxed, engaging atmosphere, fantastic artists. Loved my experience with Safe House.

Anna R.

Love Safe House Tattoo & have recommended to several friends and family who have been beyond pleased with their own work, too. I got my first tattoo last year from Ian White & could not be happier. Ian worked with me to design just what I wanted, and though my design was on the small side—he never made me feel my questions or requests were insignificant. I’m really happy with the end results. Love the friendly, positive, chill vibe at SH. It was a great time, a great price, with great friends.

Addison Leggett

Had a fantastic time! They were super professional and helped me achieve the look I was wanting. Ben did a PHENOMENAL job. They explain everything very well and make sure you know what you're getting into. I of course managed to get a bit sick before my session but they gave me plenty of slack and understood my nerves. Would definitely recommend as a place to get your first or even your billionth tattoo!

Eliza Gilbert

This was my first time getting a tattoo and it couldn't have been a better experience for me. Chip was my artist and he did an amazing job! All of the artists at Safe House seem like really cool dudes with unique styles but Chip was absolutely hilarious. The shop was sterile but still had a calm and relaxing vibe. Josh (shop manager), who I had been in communication with prior to my appointment, was extremely attentive and responsive to my questions and concerns. I definitely plan to go back for another tattoo with a different artist maybe but Chip is the man. Thanks for my beautiful watercolor elephants; I can't wait to show my mother!

Greg Appleton

Safe house did an amazing job of communicating and accommodating for my wife and I to get tattoos at the same time. Jordan Brill is an amazing artist and very relaxing to work with. Half the time I was so deep in conversation with him, I forgot I was in there getting hurt. I have been to other places to get tattoos done, and nothing else was even close to as clean and welcoming as safe house. Thanks!

David Barrans

The staff at Safe House Tattoo Studio are fantastic! I've been getting tattooed by Chipper Harbin for the past two years and I have been blown away by his incredible artistic ability and interpretation of what I'm looking for in my tattoos. The studio is super clean, and everyone working there are incredibly friendly. I travel almost 3 hours each time I'm getting tattooed which should tell you their worth! If you're looking for your next tattoo, I highly recommend contacting Safe House Tattoo Studio, they have artists that will meet your needs.

Noosha Kamtarin

I loveeee this place! I went here twice for two different tattoos both done by the amazing Chipper Harbin. He has so much talent and vision, and so easy to trust with your new piece. The staff at Safe House have always been wonderful with me and treated me respectfully. I definitely recommend getting something done here. You won’t regret it !!

Kimbo U.

Very clean, professional, and timely. I didn't really know what to expect with my first tattoo experience, but I can't imagine there could be a better experience! I would highly recommend this Studio.

Nelson M

Very clean tattoo shop. Staff was welcoming and courteous. We were walk-in clientele and they were accommodating. Artist came up and introduced himself. Most of the tattoo shops we have every been to have not been like this. It was truly a breath of fresh air. The owner was walking around anking the clients if they needed anything and seeing how everyone was doing. Again, EXTREMELY unheard of for a busy tattoo shop. My wife loves her new tattoo! I would definitely be back again.

Lindsey Dye

We loved everything about our Safe House Tattoo experience! The establishment itself is incredibly clean and has such a cool vibe. Everyone was sincerely friendly and professional from the moment we walked through the door. Eli did matching semi colon tattoos for my grandmother and myself. He was awesome! We love our new tattoos and he made the experience unforgettable for both of us. I would definitely recommend Eli for any artwork you are looking to have done! I will definitely be back! :)

Marisa Bates

Got my second tattoo here, and it was an amazing experience! Very clean, and everybody was kind and welcoming. Adam gave me exactly the tattoo I wanted and was so delightful to work with.

Lady Enigma

Had a great experience here. Very clean shop in a renovated old warehouse giving the whole place a cool vibe. All the staff was really nice and interested in what each other was working on. English was perfect. She drew up a design based on what I wanted and it's perfect. She had a light touch so even the sensitive areas didn't hurt as much as they could have. I will definitely be back for my next tattoo!

kimberly burr

LOVED! My daughter and I got tattooed by Ben Ritchie. We are so pleased with the way they turned out. I emailed the shop owner a picture of what we were looking for and he matched us with Ben. Ben took the picture and turned it into something that was similar, but still the styling that we wanted. Ben is quick and very talented! We had to wait several weeks for an appointment, however it was absolutely worth it! The staff is excellent. It is so clean, very efficient and very inviting. I will not be going anywhere else or to anyone else ever. I am already planning what I want next.

A Scott

Welcoming and warm upon arrival. I’m a super anxious person and felt very much at ease. Christopher Cousins was awesome from the point I reached out for an appointment to the work he did today. Soooo impressed with his talent and he was super kind and pleasant through my whole experience.

S K

This place is awesome. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The artists are totally willing to answer any questions and work with you to make sure you’re satisifed. Ben Ritchie tattooed me and he was super chill and was really cool about breaks. If you want an awesome geometric tattoo go see him. It was really just such a good experience. I can’t say enough good things.

Chris Vicari

In my opinion, this is the best tattoo shop in Nashville. I've only worked with Ian (6 pieces since they've opened) but have also gotten to chat with and/or see work from the entire crew. They're all solid artists, solid people and create a very welcoming environment to get tattooed in. I simply have no reason not to continue frequenting this shop.

Brandy Lynn

Safe House Tattoo is not only super professional and clean, but the artists and staff are extremely kind. No matter what idea you come in with, they treat people with respect and excitement for the project. I’ve been very impressed by everyone I’ve come in contact with there. I highly recommend any artist here, although I personally have only been tattooed by Nathan Fite, who is a total badass artist, especially when it comes to traditional Japanese style.

Kegan Kegley

Fantastic experience at the studio. Everything was clean and the staff was quick and very inviting. Nathan did my tattoo and knocked it out of the park. but I don't think you can go wrong with anyone there.

Josie Gibbons

Excellent experience! The artwork was the highest quality and I couldn't be happier with my new tattoo. Chip Harbin did my tattoo and it turned out perfectly! I drove 7 hours to get there and it was totally worth it. I sent him a few ideas that I liked and he turned them into a really cool piece of art that I'm excited to show off. His style and creativity made for an incredible and original tattoo. Thanks!

Danielle Conyers

A friend and I were in town and stumbled upon Safe House. We went in around 1 and by 3:30 we were getting tattooed! Everyone there was super cool, the atmosphere is fantastic. It's a beautifully designed space and an all around comfortable environment. Austin did each of our tattoos. He was great. Super nice and talented dude! We both love our pieces and couldn't be happier with the experience!

Rae Delmontagne

I went here recently to get my first tattoo - so can definitively say it’s the best I’ve been to! I had a great experience with English. I didn’t know what to expect, but I really leaned on her expertise with the design and process, and had a comfortable appointment and am really thrilled with the result. So glad I went here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others!

Laura Soria

I came Thursday evening semi-hoping for a walk-in availability, but instead making an appointment for the day after--I could already tell the guys there were pretty cool though. I came in the next day and got my first tattoo, and I love it! I got it done by a guest artist, Colin, and it looks great. The studio itself is also pretty cool, and super clean. So, walking in near close on a weekday may not be the most fruitful approach, but you can also send them emails and make appointments that way. I definitely recommend this place to others.

Allie Faxon

I paid $400 dollars for a tattoo by Chip Harbin. The first time i went the tattoo looked great, but when it healed the ink didn't heal well (no fault of his own). However, I went back two days ago to get it retouched and the line work looks terrible. (I posted pictures) all of the staff are very friendly and most of the tattoos coming out of there look awesome. Touch ups were free which was great, and customer service and vibe were great as well, but in my opinion the tattoo isn't worth $400.

john stenson

I had two Tats done at Safe House, one at the old location and one at the new. Great people, clean shop and a relaxed welcoming atmosphere. I have an appointment in August and my wife and I are looking forward to getting back to Nashville and supporting this great shop again. See you soon Jordan.

Jayce Dowell

Awesome experience! Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming. Jordan did my tattoo. Not only is he an awesome artist, he's funny as hell and makes you feel very comfortable. Cannot reccomend Safe House more! Thanks for the experience everyone! If I'm ever back in town, I'd definitely come back!

Matthew Kuhlo

Absolutely incredible experience. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Nathan Fite is an artistic genius. I'm very skeptical when it comes to large commitments like a tattoo, but this exceeded all expectations. An added bonus, the costumer service and care here its impeccable. They truly go above and beyond. If you're not sure where to go in nashvile, or you're looking to step up your tattoo game, you will not be disappointed here.

K. Ramsey

Chipper is an unbelievably talented tattoo artist and is the only one I would trust to do a watercolor tattoo on me. He has his own style and I just gave him a rough idea of what I was thinking, but I let him do the rest and my watercolor rose tattoo turned out perfectly. I have been looking for the right artist for a long time, and he was definitely it and worth the price. The atmosphere is super clean and inviting, with a fun, hipster feel. Definitely recommend as the best tattoo parlor in all the south!

theresa skaggs

We live in Kansas & was visiting Nashville. We just happened on this shop & was granted an appointment as a walk in. I was with 2 of my granddaughters & this was not our first tattoo. We all 3 agree we would fly back to Nashville to get future tattoo's! This was a VERY classy place & the artists were friendly. I loved the ambiance and the art! GREAT PLACE!

Nitu Sandhu

My girlfriend and I came down for the weekend from Canada and we both booked with Eli and he was awesome. Super friendly, studio was nice, clean, and welcoming and the atmosphere was wicked. I can confidently say he was one of the most polite tattoo artists I have been around, as were the other artists working that day. Thank you for your work Eli!

Tristan Lowe

I have been going to Ben for years, well before he was at Safe House. As far as his work is concerned in my eyes I would never let anyone else touch me, but these guys at Safe House are awesome. I started my sleeve a year ago, and with my limited time availability I was in the shop once a month, so these guys seriously became like family. Chip's work is unreal, Adam kills some vintage vibe looks, Eli's work is beautiful, and English also produces some stunning work. Ben is my go-to, always has been, and always will be. Can't forget my main dude Hawkes, who keeps the ship afloat. Check em' out, you won't be sorry.

Aubrey Stout

Just got a tattoo here, and was SUPER pleased. It was my first tattoo. I got some small text on my ankle. I have a preeetty ridiculous needle phobia, but the artist, Russ, was super accommodating and nice. He didn't make me feel bad at all. When I nearly passed out, he waited till I felt better to continue, and gave me some homemade oatmeal cream pies someone had left in the studio. He couldn't have been a nicer, more genuine, cool dude to have sticking needles into your flesh. The studio itself was warm and inviting, with artwork and photos all over the walls. It almost felt like a cool coffee shop cum tattoo studio. It felt very clean, and I'm sure was technically sterile, but it didn't have a sterile, cold feel to it at all. I will most def be back for my next tattoo, and I'm requesting Russ...though all the guys who work there are super cool and laid back. Thanks guys for the positive experience!

Kristen Aplin

I recently got tattooed by Chip Harbin after seeing his incredible work on Instagram. The shop is located in a vintage building near downtown and the inside was clean and inviting. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and helpful. Chip had about a 3 month waiting list, but it was well worth it. He's crazy talented. He really involved me with the design and you could tell he was very passionate about his art and making it a unique experience for me. I highly recommend Chip!

Dan Faber

I always knew I wanted to get a tattoo - and had an idea for the concept... but no idea for the visual or even where to start. Then a friend introduced me to Ian... what an unbelievable experience it was from first meeting to completion. I basically told Ian a few things that concepts/ideas a lot to me - and he came up with visuals for them that are better than anything I could've ever imagined. It's been two years now, I love this tattoo every day, it's actually a daily reminder about how I want to live my life. Now I'm getting ready to get my other arm done with him. I would recommend Ian & SafeHouse to anyone interested in getting a tattoo and having it done by someone who really really cares about their craft and the experience you have throughout the process.

Chad Darling

One of the coolest experiences of my life... These guys are amazing. Refreshingly focused on not only your tattoo, but you as a human being. They are incredible people, with an equally impressive approach to welcoming you in and supporting your vision for what you want on your body. I cannot recommend this place enough. Please check it out... Chip.... Dude.... You blessed me with amazing art but more importantly, blessed me with an experience I will never forget. I will pay it forward.

Meredith Wanzer

I got tattooed by Chipper, and it was a great experience. The shop is clean, laid back, and in a cool location just outside of downtown. Chip worked with me to develop a piece that fit both my idea and his very unique style. My husband sat with me since we were in from NY, and he really enjoyed hanging out with Chip and his coworkers as well during the session. It was really a pleasure.

Baylee Morton

It was my first time ever getting a tattoo. I was extremely nervous, but they really set me at ease. Even during the tattoo, when I asked to take a break (and even after vomiting), they were extremely caring and understanding of me. I’m also in love with the end product!

Stephanie Ellison

My husband and I both got tattoos from Eli and he did an AMAZING job! It has been almost a year and I have been meaning to write this for a while now. Thank you ELI for not only creating beautiful permanent art but also for the experience! You have a good personality and that made things easier considering it was our first tattoos! We will be coming back when we are in Nashville and will not to go to anyone else!

Adam Burnett

Upon arrival I was promptly greeted by Ian White for my appointment. Ian showed me the sketch he had prepared and suggested we start the new ink. The shop is very clean and inviting and hands down the best atmosphere I have experienced in any shop located in Nashville. Ian and staff were extremely nice and professional. My sitting lasted well over 3 hours and there wasn't a lack for conversation or entertainment. I was more than pleased with the quality of work and will return soon for more. Thank You Ian White and staff!

Patrick Hill

So far I've gotten pieces done by Christopher and Will, and I'm incredibly satisfied with the quality of work, very quick response time when emailing about design concepts, and the overall welcoming and inviting atmosphere I've received each time I come by. Everyone is super friendly and I definitely plan on coming back again! I highly recommend Safe House!

Adrianna Chard

Ian White is absolutely amazing at what he does!! Safe House is the perfect little tattoo shop. It has the most welcoming and comforting vibe! All of the artists are super friendly and great! If you are looking for talented artists and a great experience look no further.

Laura S

I made an appointment with Chip Harbin (see his Instagram @Chipperharbin) , and my experience was phenomenal. I felt very comfortable with the atmosphere, the studio was very well-kept and clean, and safety procedures were followed to the T. I requested a color tattoo of a cardinal, as an extension of a previous tattoo. Chip integrated it beautifully keeping the vision of the original artist, while adding a beautiful piece of artwork and integrating both pieces. If I had not seen my tattoo before, I would have assumed that it was all done by one person. As Safe House tattoos is adding another location, one for walk-ins and the other mainly for appointments, I absolutely recommend their studio, and their artists. (the photo I added is before/after, but ignore the terrible lighting of the first picture). {tree branch/flowers originally done by IG: @tatooer_sprance}

Daniel Lord

The guys at Safe House were phenomenal! Got me an appointment during an out of town trip, we’re super understanding when I was late for my appointment, and did a fantastic job with my tattoo! Couldn’t beat the price! I’ll definitely be back!

Cristina Feliciano

Amazing place to get tattooed. Very clean and everyone is super friendly. Chris Cousins is awesome and perfectly captures what I wanted for my tattoo. Highly recommend!

nick maples

If you’re looking for a place to go this should be it. English does incredible work and treated us so well to make sure we loved our tattoos. I have confidence every artist would have treated us just as well and done a fantastic job also. Thank you Safe House for the great experience.

Spacek81

My wife and I were traveling through Nashville on our 15th anniversary trip and asked Safe House if they could work us in. It was sort of a last minute work-in. Our artist Mercedes Domagall was amazing. She helped us get our tattoos we had been wanting and customized them to our liking. Super cool, clean place! Highly recommend these guys!

Brittany Balsamo

Worked with Chipper on the newest art, and will be working on the rest of my sleeve with him and the guys at Safe House! The shop is super clean and looked really nice. Everybody was really professional, but had fun at the same time! I could not be happier with the the shop as a whole, and of course with Chipper! He can take any idea or design and transform it into art!!

kelsey jones

It was our first time at Safe House Tattoo but we will definitely be back! The place has an amazing positive vibe and all the artists were professional and pumping out some awesome tattoo. I will totally be going back to Chipper For my next tattoo!

Erika Larsen

My first time getting a tattoo at this shop and I had a fantastic experience. I made an appointment with Adam and he worked thoroughly with me to make sure the tattoo was exactly what I wanted. Everyone there was super friendly and welcoming- definitely would recommend!!!

scott gamble

Got my second ever tattoo done here by Will Campbell. Entire staff was professional, polite, and friendly. The studio offered a clean, safe, and relaxing environment to get a tattoo in. Could not be happier with my experience here!

Tim Kiernan

Full disclosure, I don’t have any tattoos, but if I did…they would be from here without a doubt. I do have a hat from their shop and I love it. Go buy their merch or even better yet get a tattoo, you won’t regret it!

Noah Edwards

Safe house tattoos is super clean and comfotable. All of the artists are friendly, helpful, and informative. I met Chipper Harbin and when I saw his work it blew me away. He sketched out EXACTLY what I wanted before I had barely gotten the description out of my mouth and then asked me tons of questions about details I hadn't considered. While working he was easy to chat with and went above and beyond to not only make me comfortable, but excited about the process as well. And the tattoo.... I can't put into words how happy I am with it. It's everything I had imagined plus Chipper's AMAZING talent and creativity.

Elaine Wilder

Chipper did an update to my Fenway Park Tattoo this week. His work is beautiful and he adds such creativity to what I ask for. I love the atmosphere, the cleanliness and professionalism of everyone in the shop. It's always a pleasure to spend time at Safe House and I'll enjoy my tattoo for years to come.

Whitney Guzman

Amazing, clean space with a very friendly and accommodating staff. I didn't have an appointment and they managed to squeeze me in even though they were booked. Adam couldn't have been nicer and more patient with me and did a great job even though my tattoo is small and simple. Thank you so much!

Josue Matos-Lopez

their environment is amazing! everyone is so encouraging and positive and comfortable to work with. even the people at the office will show interest in what you are getting and will support you. everything is very hygienic and safe <3

Chris Ondera

I got my first tattoo here, done by Nick. He and the staff were awesome. The shop itself was an great atmosphere. Tattoo turned out even better than I hoped for. Definitely will return for more work.

Paul Finelli

I had an awesome experience with Chipper. Went in trying to salvage an old tattoo and he completely transformed it. I would absolutely recommend his work and I cannot wait to get more done. Also, the rest of the staff is very friendly and the shop is extremely clean and nice.

Amy Squier

Eli was so great! I was super nervous because it was my first tattoo. He printed multiple sizes of my design so it would be a size I liked. Was a little pricier than I thought it would be since they have a $100 minimum that I didn’t know about, but I didn’t mind because I had such a great experience!

Zoie Markman

Words can’t explain how awesome this place is!! The whole staff is fantastic, but Adam Jackson was my artist and his work is impeccable!! I couldn’t have picked a better place to get my first tattoo!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Eric Murrell

I got my first tattoo here this week with Adam Jackson, and he was incredible to work with. Not only did I leave with some unbelievable art on my arm, but he was super accommodating and cool to work with during every step of the process. Fantastic experience.

Jess Keisler

English is the best. I drive from South Carolina to get my tattoos done by her. All the other artist's work at Safehouse look amazing too. Super nice place and very professional.

I got a thigh piece done by Will Campbell! Amazing artist and person! All around great environment and everyone was very welcoming and funny, I was there for about three hours but the experience made it feel like only minutes went by. Definitely recommend!

I'm from Flagstaff, Az and had the pleasure of receiving an amazing piece of art from Chipper on his vacation/drive out west. It's my favorite piece by far and wouldn't hesitate if I have another opportunity. The dude is a humble skilled artist which can be rare in the tattoo world, and it shows it his work. He cares, pays attention to detail, and wants to give you his best work possible. The guy is a real artist, go get some work done by Chipper Harbin!

Chipper and Safehouse Tattoo are amazing in every respect, and nothing short of the best experience and art anywhere on the planet. Worth the wait, and the miles, there's no place better to get your ink on! Having been coast to coast in search of both, this is the real deal. You will not be disappointed.

I knew I wanted Chipper to do my next tattoo after seeing his amazing work on instagram and how he handled my (tightly wound) friend's work. I sent him an idea and he ran with it - changing up the style slightly to set it apart from others - and it was perfect. It's only been a few days and I've already gotten MANY compliments. Thanks Chipper!
