Me and my mom came in for my birthday to get tattoos. The place was very clean and I enjoyed my time. Tara was my tattoo artist and she was the best! We had a great conversation and she was so light handed. The tattoo didn’t even hurt. I am very pleased and will be returning! Highly recommend.

An amazing experience here. Highly recommend this tattoo parlor. Love the vibe. Felt so peaceful and clean.Robert McCollum (McCollum tattoos) was the artist. Probably one of my favorite tattoos.

Great team, Jorge Quintana is an amazing artist. The vibe in the place is great. Really professional, clean and clear in every aspect of the process.

Great experience all the way around:•was able to work me in and around my schedule•tattoo artist Matt did a great job of communicating throughout the whole process, putting together my tattoo idea, and exceeding my expectations on what I has hoping to get done. Very real dude and highly recommend his work.•facility is nice and comfortable, enforcing social distancing, and face masks currently.•best tattoo experience Ive had, definitely will be be back and recommend!

Robert is the best tattoo artist for any black/grey nature tattoos. I often come in with an idea and then give him artistic license to do what he thinks is best and Im never disappointed

Robert helped my idea come to life. He is awesome!

Jorge did a fantastic job

Matt has done all six of my tattoos and I couldnt be happier. He is extremely talented and takes his job very seriously. His schedule is booked solid all the time and theres a reason for it, but hell work you in if an opening pops up. No doubt one of the best in Charlotte.

I waited over 4 years to finally get a memory piece done for my son that passed away. I sent time after time looking and creating the perfect tattoo for my son Phoenix. After a lot of research I finally found Matt. I am beyond happy with my tattoo that is in memory of my son that passed almost 7 years ago. Matt turned my dream into a reality with my piece of art. He was so nice and understanding of how important this tattoo was for me. I spent 4 hours there. I would have spent a lifetime to get the tattoo he created for me. I get so many compliments. It’s been a great way to remember my son. Thank you so much Matt.

Paris Tattoo has always been a pleasant experience for me. Over the phone they are attentive and friendly, often giving the best information anyone could ask for. The tattoo staff is professional and has wonderful attention to detail. Matt Trimble has been one of the ones whos work I have admired and followed for some time now. He is always professional and does his best to make sure that you have a comfortable tattoo experience and end up with a product that looks amazing. He is efficient, talented and all around one of best tattoo artists I have had the pleasure of meeting. I would recommend him and this shop to any of my friends or even strangers looking to get an amazing tattoo and have a comfortable and worry free experience every time.

Love this shop!!! It’s quiet and relaxing and staff is incredible. I went to see Matt for my first “large” tattoo. He spent over 7 hours with me and the result was beautiful. It is exactly like I imagined it would be. I returned a few months later for a smaller piece on my hand and once again, Matt did not disappoint. Don’t hesitate for a second to go see him. He will take care of you!!!

Paris has some amazing artists with fantastic attitudes. The space is relaxed and comfortable. The work they do is top notch.

Matt is amazing. Cool guy and great artist. I would refer anyone to him! The way he can individualize things in a way that works with what you’re thinking and will look good on your body shape is incredible. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Love this shop! Kelly is awesome and so easy to work. You can really tell she cares about her work. Session 1 went great and Im going back for the color next month.

Exceptional artists, they play to each tattooist strengths so you get the best of the best.

Matt has worked on two beautiful pieces for me so far and both of them are extremely amazing pieces of art. I highly recommend Matt as well as Paris tattoos for any art you may be wanting. Matt is very knowledgeable about tattooing and always has great work ethic and get the job done fast. Matt will be the only person I trust with my art.

I have had the pleasure of being tattooed by several artists from Paris Tattoos and can say it has been an amazing experience. I have quite a few tattoos, have been tattooed by artists across the US and the artists that make-up this incredible shop are absolutely amazing artists.The level of professionalism is amazing and if you have any concerns, the fact that the shop owner, Paris, takes the time to personally reach out shows just what kind of quality and service you will receive.Every piece I have gotten has come out incredible. The follow-up sessions for touch-ups are always offered up once the skin heals properly. I have had conversations with Matt and have seen his work and can say he is nothing short of a professional; fromhis interactions with clients during consultations to his work. Johny Pistol, Kelly, the shop management, I cannot say anything bad about this shop and they have quickly become my only shop to get work done.You would be hard-pressed to find the level of service you get at Paris Tattoos anywhere else, and I don’t say that lightly.Can’t please everyone, but I for one, will stand by this shop’s work and service.

I want to thank Matt for giving me a simply yet very important tattoo that represents a gift of life which I had been wanting to get for 20 years. Every time I see it now it warms my heart and I thank Matt for that. Matt was professional and made me feel at ease and I am hoping to get another piece soon. The Paris Tattoo shop was extremely clean and the pricing was great. Overall a terrific experience and I would highly recommend Matt at Paris Tattoos.

The shop is clean, professional and full of amazing art that is worth walking in just to see! Honestly though i would never have walked in if my artist hadn’t moved to their shop! Matt Trimble is an amazing artist and friend. I trust him to be professional and to give me a piece I will love, and I can’t wait to get back and some more work done!

Such a nice, clean shop! I’ve had a couple of pieces done by Matt. He’s so professional and does amazing work, especially with coverups. I had a massive black and gray text piece that he covered FLAWLESSLY. Would recommend him to anyone and can’t wait to be tattooed by Matt again!

Matt has always done a tremendous job on my tattoos. If you want good quality work, I highly recommend him. He’s very professional and the best artist I’ve ever seen. I’ll go to no one else for my tattoos.

Matt did some beautiful work for me. I gave him some ideas about what I wanted, we talked through some potential ideas, and he presented something better than I had in mind. He has a great eye when working with color as well as shading work. My artwork took a good 6 hours and he knew I was feeling the pain but was so patient even using numbing spray when he must have known I was over it. A year later, all healed up, and more lovely than ever! Highly recommended!

In March of this year, I began corresponding with Kelly Corujo about getting my very first tattoo. I had been thinking about this tattoo idea for quite a few years, and after a brief consultation with the owner of Paris Tattoos, it was determined that Kelly, who specializes in color, would be the perfect artist to make my idea a reality. Kelly worked with me for a few weeks, swapping some images and discussing design possibilities. On the big day (April 8), Kelly unveiled the final design to me, and it looked beautiful. She was very detail-oriented, and took the time to listen carefully to my list of wants and needs, but given that she is an artist and a tattoo professional, she also gave her honest opinion about the BEST way to bring my ideas to fruition to ensure I was happy with the final design AND ended up with an amazing tattoo. And that is exactly what happened! Throughout the four hour process, she was incredibly focused, yet relaxed and confident. She would tell me what to expect through each phase, and ensured I was comfortable and relaxed the whole time. Not only did I have an incredibly smooth experience during the tattooing, but she also took the time to explain exactly how to ensure my recovery was smooth and problem free (which it was!). I cannot tell you how many compliments complete strangers have been compelled to give me on the design and the beautiful, vivid colors of the tattoo. I couldnt be happier with the result!

Very upscale shop. My 1st visit to check the place out. Will be back to get my tattoo work.

Matt has done my last two pieces and there’s no one else I’d trust to tattoo me. He’s very talented. Each piece has turned out better than I could’ve imagined.

Great shop. My husband and I have had multiple pieces done by Matt, and he is awesome. He really takes his time to not only come up with a great design based off your ideas, but focuses a lot on placement to be sure everything fits together. Would definitely recommend him.

I had the pleasure of having Matt Tremble do some work for me. Excellent artist and great guy, very chill attitude. If youre looking for great work done check this guy out.

Paris Tattoos is the best in Charlotte hands down...Matt Trimble is the man! He did my cover up just the way I envisioned it. You better make an appointment today because he is always booked.. Worth the wait though. Ill be going in to finish my sleeve before the year is over. Big thumbs up to the team at Paris Tattoos.

Matt did my sleeve as a cover up and its the most tattoo Ive seen, wherever I go people always comment about the detail and how lifelike the wolves and owl are. I will ALWAYS go to Matt for my tattoos even if he goes all the way to Europe I will travel for my tattoos. The work is solid and hes so easy to talk to. 6 hour sessions go by like its been minutes. 10/10 Im not going to get a tattoo from anyone else

Paris tattoos artist Matt Trimble is awesome. He did my sleeve, an extensive color piece and any problems I have with it are entirely on me, not that I am unhappy at all. I am going back to Matt once I get financially stable so he can do my other arm. The whole Paris tattoo team is awesome by Matt has a special place in my heart. I am a customer and huge fan of this shop. I recommend this over any other shop..

We love Paris Tattoos. In particular my boy Matt is a rock star. Weve been going to him for years. Hes done all of my work and almost all of my wifes. Everywhere we go, someone stops one of us to compliment his work. Hes a professional, a talent, and an all around good dude. We always book our next session before we leave. You cant go wrong with Paris Tattoos or Matt Trimble. Best shop in Charlotte!

Matt has been doing my tattoos for many years now and is amazing at what he does. He has always been extremely professional and time-efficient, he works fast without it feeling rushed at all, and is always completely clear ahead of time if theres even a chance that it will take more than one session due to its size or complexity. My tattoos by him have all turned out exactly how i wanted them to or better, He is an phenomenal artist and I trust him completely.the shop as a whole is always clean and neat, and has a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

Best place in the area! Matt did a full color leg piece that is breath taking and perfectly captured the meaning behind the imagery. Cant wait to start my full armor sleeve here soon.

Matt has done my whole back piece in a swift and timely matter. Im very impressed and love the way it came out. Will definitely be coming back.

A little over a year ago I visited this shop with a friend on a whim and got the best experience ever. Walked in with no call, and Matt Trimble was able to draw up tattoos for me and my friend, and complete them both in a very reasonable amount of time. Prices were awesome for the quality of work we got, and I can say with confidence that the death moth tattoo I received from Matt is hands down my favorite one. His line-work is impeccable, and for a simple black and white tattoo it has so much depth and character to it.Keep rocking Matt!!

I’ve been getting tattooed by Matt for about 6yrs. With each tattoo he’s grown with his craft. Matt is extremely detailed and patient, he’s gentle and is very considerate of his clients comfort while tattooing. I’ve had the pleasure of getting some work done in Paris tattoos. The shop is clean, great environment, friendly staff with warm personalities.

Just started my sleeve with Matt Trimble and Im already blown away by the attention to detail with just the line work! All the artists seem to be genuine and talented people, highly recommend trying this shop! Their work speaks for itself!

Fantastic! Matt did a half sleeve and a back tattoo of mine that is unlike any other! He is a fantastic artist and I wouldn’t want to finish up my sleeve with anyone else. I recommend him every day of the week and twice on Sunday! If you ever need a tat, Matt is the guy to call.

I havent actually been to this tattoo shop! But I can tell you that Matt Trimble is one of the best! I have more than 20 hrs with Matt! Best artist around! Always heard good things about Paris also!

Absolutely love the professionalism and talent this place has. Robert does an impeccable job on fine and detailed tattoos. Everyone is also super friendly!

Matt does awesome work and was honest and transparent with pricing. Also, the shop has a great relaxed atmosphere. Cant wait to get more work done.

I highly recommend Matt Trimble, he has done 6 of my 7 tattoos and I wouldn’t want to go to anyone else. He is very professional and does amazing work that I get complimented on daily. He has never made me feel rushed, one time he stayed after close just to finish my thigh piece which I much appreciated. I can’t say enough great things!

Johnny does a great job! He has done 2 of my tattoos and both times he made sure I was comfortable and took his time making sure the sketch was what I wanted, along with the size and placement. I will be going back to Paris Tattoos for sure!

Ive had work done by Matt for many years. He is awesome to work with. The tattoos were exactly what I was looking for! And I cant wait to get to get another!!

My man Matt Trimble inked my first tattoo at age 44, a unique Jesus piece half sleeve 1 year ago, and followed up with a custom piece on my chest last month, I can’t wait to see what he has in store for my new (entire) back piece. I get compliments EVERY day about both pieces and proud to have them!

This is, hands down, the best tattoo place in Charlotte NC! Very clean! Very welcoming! And very professional! The staff brings a level of quality and talent that is unmatchable.Robert McCollum has been my tattoo artist for a little over 2 years now. He has a steady hand and works with me to get exactly what I want. I also love giving him creative freedom. Robert never disappoints. Call to book him now- he fills his schedule fast!

Matt Trimble has done all of my current tattoos and the guy is not only an absolute professional when it comes to the tattoo business, but he is a genuinely good and likable person who makes the tattoo experience fun and enjoyable. The requests that I have made of Matt have always been met with a “can do” spirit and he is the only one I go to at this point. Matt’s style and skill is well above those of the average artist, and I have received multiple compliments on my tattoos. He is a true artist, and I look forward to going to him for all of my future tattoo needs.

Matt is a great tattoo artist. I have worked with him over 4 sessions for cover up. He has been patient with me and my schedule and has offered many design recommendations and solutions, all which I have agreed to and accepted. I highly recommend Matt for your coverup!

Paris Tattoos has a great atmosphere, filled with talented artists! Matt Trimble has created at least 10 of my tattoos! He is very conscientious! He surpasses expectations!

I always have great experience doing permanent makeup with Alexandra!!! I have been coming to their Beautiful Gallery ( Paris Tattoos) for the last 7 years!!! Because I really happy with talented skill of Alexandra !They created an amazing Gallery with a real art painting pictures all over the walls!!!Everything and everywhere are extremely clean!

I am a Charlotte native and have tattoos from shops all over this city. The first time I walked in to Paris Tattoo I realized It would be the only shop I ever use again... Then I found Matt who was recommended because I needed a very special portrait of my puppy. I was quoted a full day and Matt knocked it out in half the time, saving me so much money. The piece not only looks exactly like my pup but also captured her personality... Matt is now my guy, the one I recommend my family go to. If youre contemplating some new work, do yourself a favor and stop by Paris Tattoo... If youre thinking about your first tattoo, I beg you check this place out first...

This has to be the cleanest tattoo studio Ive ever been in! I got some work done here on September 5th and my artists name was Johny Pistol. This is guy is truly gifted, very respectable, great conversation and attentive. He gave me advice on my half sleeve and asked what I wanted to accomplish with my tattoos and he not gave me exactly what I wanted but more than what I couldve expect! I appreciate his expertise and advice and would highly recommend anyone who is wanted 5 Star Artwork to go see Johny Pistol! (Not exaggerating and I repeat) Johny Pistol! The entire Paris Tattoo staff are professional, courteous and take great pride in their work. My wife is going here to get her 4th tattoo and Ill be bringing my entire family in for theirs at the top of the year! Thank you Paris Tattoos!

After years of trying to find someone to cover up a mistake of a tattoo, I found Matt who was more then willing to tackle the cover up when I had been turned away by so many. Matt did an amazing job covering it with a half sleeve and hopefully soon I will be back to have him finish the full sleeve.

Rosi did my daughters tattoo on her 18th birthday, in a last minute clutch! My baby said she was the absolute sweetest, and her work is pretty amazing. She may have her hooked on ink now, and Ill also have to go check her out soon. I would definitely recommend her

I worked with Matt Trimble on my second tattoo. It was a complex, full color collage of my three main protagonists on my novels. Not only did Matt do a good job quickly, he knocked the artwork out of the park and blended them together perfectly.Ill be getting two more male protagonists added to my right arm once the books are out, and the upcoming female protagonists will be going on my left. Matt Trimble at Paris tattoo will be the only guy I trust to do the work.

Gotten all three of my tattoos there! All awesome, amazing staff! Matt Trimble has done all of my tatts and I have to say that he did an amazing job, best worker they got hands down

My fiancé and I have both had the pleasure to get tattooed by Matt Trimble. Not only is he a complete professional customer service wise he’s phenomenal with a needle. I haven’t even had the pleasure to get a fresh tattoo from the guy, he’s spent multiple hours fixing and correcting a massive lion tribal piece on my back that now looks 10x better, he’s also fixed a heath ledger joker portrait on my shoulder and now he’s turned that into a great Christopher Nolan series sleeve.

Had the pleasure of working with Kelly, a very cool,kind and amazingly talented artist. Have had about 8 tattoos so far all done by her. Will be going back soon to start another piece. I can not recommend Kelly enough for someone looking for their first or 10th tattoo!

This shop is clean, professional, and reasonably priced considering the caliber of work it turns out. Amazing staff, relaxed atmosphere and great location. I have been getting tattooed by Matt Trimble for over 8 years and would never trust another artist as completely as I do with him. I have more than a dozen tattoos by him and each one is better than the last. He is always open and communicative during the design process and is willing to do even the tiniest design tweaks to ensure the piece hes giving me is the exact piece Im looking for - but is also very well versed in color theory, composition, and has an understanding of how the tattoo will perform over time and throughout the healing process so he offered his professional artists opinion when necessary, but has never pressured me into going in his direction. I unfortunately live on the other side of the country now but when I fly back to Charlotte I am always certain to book an appointment with Matt because I know Im going to get a perfect tattoo as a fantastic price. Thank you Matthew and the kind people at Paris! By far the best shop Ive been to in Charlotte.

Great experience here. Kelly is awesome and the studio is really clean and comfortable. Loved the collaboration and the artistic styling she brought to my ideas. Super easy to work with.

Matt was super awesome! He made my tattoo a very enjoyable experience, will definitely come back!!

This place is amazing. Matt Trimble did a lion portrait on my arm that is absolutely fire. Worked fast, minimum brakes, gonna finish up my sleeve with him soon!

Paris tattoo is one of the cleanest shops Ive ever been to. Great atmosphere and amazing staff. Matt Trimble rocked out a clean tattoo for my mothers 1st. Friendly and took the time to walk her through the process. Amazing place!

So far, Ive had all of my tattoos done at Paris. Matt Trimble is your guy! Quick, easy, and very informed! Looking forward to getting more done here!

I had a tattoo done last week by Kelly as a tribute to my recently past daughter. She was very sensitive to the initial idea and added her gift of artistry to an amazing result. Have had bunches of compliments,so yeah; Kelly does an outstanding thing.

Kelly did better than I thought was possible!! Plus she was very kind. Couldnt ask for more!

Best tattoo shop in Charlotte! The work these guys do is really sick. Ask for Matt if you can. His detail is awesome!

Matt has done two of my tattoos. He always does amazing work and is a very talented artist.

I’m beyond pleased with my experience with Kelly Corujo. She took a simple photo, added some flair, and I could not be happier with my result. By far the best artist I have worked with. And yes I have several tattoos. I look forward to completing the half sleeve that we are currently working on. If you want a light hand, and true talent this young lady is who you need to consult and book with. Thanks again Kelly, you rock!

Matt Trimble is THE BEST! So talented, helpful, flexible, and friendly. Go see him!

Awesome shop went there for my first tattoo and it was single handily the best experience I could’ve asked for

I have been to Paris Tattoo three times with a fourth scheduled. Each time I have seen tattoo artist Robert. I believe Robert is the most creative, talented an expert artist, besides Paris of course, in the Southeast, if not the country. His vision, for the tattoo you are asking for, is right on and he makes sure you are completely satisfied with his drawing and placement on your body before he starts. Robert takes his time when tattooing, for he has extreme pride in his work and wants to make sure you are comfortable. If you are looking for a tattoo artist, I highly recommend Robert. If I could give him a higher rating than five I would, for he deserves it.

I’ve been tattooed by Matt, he’s a very dope artist. He did a cool spin off of MMOTM2 album cover by Kid cudi on my bicep. This was earlier this year and til this day I love it and get compliments all the time about how real it looks. His entire process of consulting you is great and made feel comfortable that we were in agreement. I’ve already scheduled another appointment with him later this year. Definitely recommend to go to Matt and check out IG page for his dope work

Matt did a excellent job on my back piece, can’t wait till I can get my sleeve done.

You can get a good tattoo at practically any reputable studio. If you want a unique piece of body art that you will love for a lifetime, come to Paris Tattoos.I got my first tattoo when I was 20. Three tattoos, three cities, three different studios later, I went out for an anniversary dinner with my husband and found Paris Tattoos entirely by chance. Clean, contemporary space. Professional staff. Artists who are truly artists, not disinterested stencil-wielding production line workers or cash-chasing yes-men (they will tell you if that thing you think will look awesome...wont).Now its been 2 years since I started working with Paris. I decided to move on to larger pieces, and Ive never been disappointed. Whether its the girl at the fast food window, another MD at a conference, or a student in the square in Krakow, I love your sleeve! never gets old. Because I love it, too, and thanks to the quality of the work, I always will.

Best tattoo artist in the world. An artist as well. His wife Sasha did my and my daughter s permanent makeup. 5 years later my eyeliner still looks great. She is absolutely the best and the kindest person you will ever meet. I have sent her loys of people who have just loved her!

I’ve gotten four tattoos over the last five years at Paris Tattoos. I am currently in the process of getting a Japanese finger wave right arm sleeve. The owner, Paris Pierides, created this sleeve without a reference, purely freehand. Watching Paris work and bring something so intricate and detailed to life without any reference to go on is unbelievable. If you’re looking for a truly personalized, no cookie-cutter tattoo experience, look no further.The studio is extremely well kept, and the atmosphere is welcoming. All receptionists and tattooists are professional, knowledgeable, TALENTED, and friendly. I’ve been into this studio more than a dozen times over the last five years and have never had one bad experience. I recommend this tattoo shop to everyone I know!

So far so good, had a consultation today. Ill check back in a couple of months when my half sleeve is finished.

Matt is the best tattooist forever, he did a amazing job

This place is amazing! Matt was very professional and fun to work with. The building itself is very welcoming and extremely clean. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I was very comfortable and more than happy with my tattoo!!! The coloring and everything was perfect.

My husband and I have both gotten our tattoos done by Robert. I cannot say enough good things about him! The amount of detail he puts into his work is amazing. He really makes sure you are 100% happy with everything. He has a long wait list but trust me, he is definitely worth the wait! We would never get tattooed by anyone else.

I’ve had the pleasure of planning and discussing a piece with Matt Trimble over the last few months. Finally getting on his schedule and I know it’s gonna turn out great. I’ve been following him on IG for a while and actually met him out one night a a concert and he was really helpful as far as ideas and enthusiasm about my tattoo. Follow him on IG, his pieces are fantastic! I’ve heard from everyone what a solid professional he is. I’ll post a follow up review soon but I’m really stoked to have Matt do this for me.

This place is nice but a little on the pricey side. The piercing we got for my daughter was over $40 and wasnt the correct length. So we made a total of 3 trips. No, Im not mistaken. Paris Tattoo on South Blvd is the CORRECT place. In fact it was you, the owner who did the piercing. You have an accent when you speak and you sit at the table at the front door.

The shop is incredibly clean, and the staff is amazing. I have done several sessions with Paris, but I know the other artists/employees by name and they love to chat with any customer. They are proud of their work and put a lot of time/effort into getting the customer what they want. Paris works fast but is very patient with me as my sleeve takes several sessions to complete. He takes great care in making sure I have the best possible experience by making sure I take care of my tattoo in the healing process. Definitely the first place for you to check out in Charlotte!

Matt has done 2 tattoos for me and he is very professional before, during, and after the appointment. He is a very skilled artist that I plan to work with again in the future.

I am very disappointed about my new tattoo that Matt did. I have waited a very long time for this tattoo and was super excited. My appointment was at 3pm but didnt get started until after 4 because Matt was late due to car issues. I feel that because it was a late start and they close at 7pm that it was a thrown together rush job even though it took almost 4 hours. I gave him the pictures months ago and he didnt do anything up until the day of ON A TABLET cut and paste. I was under the impression that it would be actually drawn up more that the stencil outlines right before he started. I should have taken the loss on the deposit and left. It looks nothing like what I asked. I had a specific mountain that I wanted and its shape and colors are nothing like what I wanted. The trees dont look real, the rhododendrons look like individual flowers instead of bushes, the trail has spots with no color and every flower and leaf is pink when I asked for vibrant fall colors. When I sent a message to Matt about coming in for touch ups after it heals his response was Wow its awful soon to be complaining. Thats negative and misguided Im sorry but for a $650 piece I expected better and definitely shodnt have to go find another artist to fix it. Its unfortunate that I cant post pics on here.

All of the artists at Paris Tattoos are awesome but I must give a special shout out to Johny Pistol. Halfway done with the sleeve were working on and its non stop compliments everywhere I go. Looking forward to the last few sessions. One stop tattoo shop.

Got my first tattoo here and it was fantastic! Matt did a great job and I cant wait to come back!

Ive just completed the fourth session on a 3/4 Japanese sleeve with Paris. Number one, the work is beyond expectation. I get numerous compliments daily from all sorts of people, be it at the office or just in public.Number two, the studio is awesome, both in terms of atmosphere and decor. Go check it out to see for yourself. Once youre in the door, youll most likely end up talking to Alexandra, booking yourself an appointment! And Alexandra is no small component at the studio. While being a permanent makeup artist, she doubles as the nicest, most caring and helpful shop manager Ive ever witness at a tattoo studio!Lastly, Paris is an absolute pleasure to spend hours with...which is VERY important when theres a large piece involved. Lots of great stories from his time spent all over the world, and an extraordinary appreciation of cultures from around the globe...including the ones in this great country!I would (and DO) recommend anyone serious about getting solid, quality, professional tattoo work done, to check out the work at Paris Tattoos. Go by the studio, book an appointment, and be glad youre about to love your life!

Paris and his studio are Amazing. We began by discussing my idea for a full sleeve. He gave great advice, and honest opinions of my reference material. He takes great pride in his work, and wants every piece to be at their greatest potential. After only an hour of ink, I could already see how truly talented Paris is. He brought my image, which I loved, to an entirely different level...It was perfect. After the first session, the art that Paris did was beyond Beautiful. My fiancee and I were amazed to watch Paris work, seeing the time and consideration for detail. The following days, Paris contacted me several times to see how I was doing, and to make sure everything was going well. He truly cares about his art, and even more about his Clients. He recognized my fiancee immediately, and she was tattooed by a different artist in his studio almost two years earlier, thats the amount of pride and consideration Paris has for his clients. I have gotten a compliment every day on Paris art from random people at restaurants, shopping, working, etc since the first session. My fiancee and I are excited for our next tattoos, and take great Pride in the art that Paris and his Studio has already provided us. I highly recommend Paris and his studio for anyone who wants more than just a tattoo, because you get a work of art and a new set of friends.

Last week I had the privilege to be a client of Kellys at Paris Tattoos, and I could not be more thrilled. The studio is very clean and open, everyone I spoke with was very friendly, and my tattoos were more than reasonably priced. Im extremely happy with Kellys work, and she was an absolute dream to work with creatively. I came in with a semi-fluid idea and Kelly was very patient and helpful. She was so willing to work with me to get my vision turned into something that looks better than I imagined. 10 out of 10 would recommend, and Id definitely choose to return for future tattoos.

I cant say enough good things about this place. Came here on very short notice for my first tattoo, my artist was Matt and he walked me through the entire process, and made sure the sketch was exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be back for my next one

High quality tattoos. Will be back

I came here after doing lots of research on Tattoo artists in North Carolina. I drove 1.5 hours to come here and it was worth it. The shop is clean and decorated nicely. Definitely not a dive shop. Being that it was my first tattoo, I wanted to make sure I was going to the best place around. My tattoo artist was Robert. I cant say enough about this guy. An overall very pleasant person with a great demeanor about him. He took my idea and made it better with his awesome skills as an artist. He was careful and made sure I knew exactly what I wanted before starting. While doing the tattoo he was meticulous with the detail and it turned out absolutely wonderful. After he was finished he described how to care for the tattoo over the course of the next couple weeks. I would suggest to anyone that wants an immaculate tattoo to head to Paris Tattoos, and to ask for Robert. You will not be disappointed.

Being new to Charlotte and ready to get my sleeve, i researched several shops in the Charlotte Area.. Paris has amazing work in his Portfolio so i decided to give him a chance... upon arrival i was welcomed into a clean and well lit shop, by friendly staff.. Paris spent 2.5 hours drawing on my sleeve before he started Tattooing (free of charge). he was friendly courteous and professional.. I have received countless complements on the work that is finished and am looking forward to the attention when it is finished... 3 sessions and My personal experience with Paris has been phenomenal!!! Highly recommended Talented Tattoo artist!!!

Everyone in the shop was really cool. Halfway through getting tattooed by Johny (mans legit) the other artist came back to just talk. I would recommend Johny to everyone

I finally got a chance to write this review but my tattoo experience at Paris Tattoos was the absolute worst.I looked at Robert McCollums profile and his work looked pretty good. So I booked an appointment and drove nearly two hours.When I arrived, I had to wait around 1 1/2 hours for him to draw the sketch. The sketch wasnt bad and I wasnt too picky about it since it is just a sketch-- doesnt have to be perfect. This was my first tattoo so I was excited. I chose to get a Princess Zelda tattoo since Zelda is a huge part of my childhood.Ever since getting the tattoo, I have had people make comments about how Zeldas hand is screwed up. My sister even said the hand looks like a crab claw, and it really does. Some people have said I should have been refunded. The hand in the sketch does not look like the finished outcome. There is a tiny arm is coming out from behind Zeldas HIP and the hand is claw-like. It looks very out of place and awkward and her proportions are not anatomically correct at all. She is also kind of floating in space with no sort of background shading or anything.The price for this piece was insane for the lack of detail that was put into it. I ended up paying somewhere around $1,000 total and it took two sessions-- one for the outline alone and the other for the shading. Everyone Ive shown this tattoo, including other tattoo artists, have said there is no reason why this tattoo should have taken so long, and that it is likely he took his time since he charges by the hour, to get more profit...Anyway, I really just want to get it covered up entirely but Im not sure how easy that would be. I have also thought of getting a different artist to re-shade everything and add more details, then somehow cover up the hand entirely...Again, not sure how easy that would be either. :/I hate how much the piece costed because now Im going to have to shell out what I already paid for it to get it fixed eventually. When contacting Robert about this issue, this was his response: Well when you sent the last message I figured I’d have you come in so I could hear you out although I found it hard to believe that I could butcher a hand the way you are describing. I take great pride in my work and am a huge stickler for anatomy. I wouldn’t have let you out of the chair unless I was confident that you had a nice quality tattoo. And now with these clearer images I can see the hand still looks good to me. I do understand what you don’t like about it, but for a stylized character with for the most part simple shading I think it all works. If anything I can add more shading so the shape and anatomy of the hand shows a little more. But covering up the hand is not something I am willing to do as it would destroy the piece. Touch ups are usually reserved for mistakes in the application, like if a line didn’t hold up. But I have to admit this is quite unusual to want to change a design that was agreed upon before hand. I’m sorry you are displeased, but anything more then a subtle change would be a mistake and result in something you like even less than now possibly.Stickler for anatomy: Peoples hands do not look like the one in my tattoo...Add more shading so the shape and anatomy of the hand shows a little more...Why would I want that when the hand is what I dislike the most about the tattoo?I have to admit this is unusual to want to change a design that was agreed upon before hand. The hand did not look like the sketch once it was finished. It looked worse than the sketch. I thought the ending result would look BETTER than the sketch, however, it ended up not even looking the same as the sketch.I just wanted to post this review so maybe someone will see this and wont have to go through the same thing I did. It sucks getting a tattoo you are not happy with. Tattoos are (obviously) permanent, expensive, and if you are going to pay lots of money for them, please go to someone more experienced. Otherwise, you will be in the situation I am currently in and will end up paying more to get it covered up.

It was the best shop I have ever been in. Everyone was friendly. I have had a few tattoos done at different places but hands down Paris is the best. Ricardo is working on a Celtic sleeve for me. I gave him the idea. To see him bring it to life is incredible. He is an amazing artist and is beyond skilled with a tattoo gun.

First tattoo and an amazing experience. Robert McCollum is a true talent and was able to skillfully render my design in the exact location I desired.

My experiences here have been top notch. The staff are wonderful, friendly and very talented. The shop is incredibly clean. I am looking forward to continuing to get my tattoos done here! Highly recommended!! =D
