The owner was very arrogant and yet the tattoos both healed horribly. My friend and I both have had problems so I know it wasn’t just a me issue. They looked good at first… but we have had so many issues with them. And yes we have both been tattooed before. They healed so ugly. Maybe the ink was no good? My skin is still discolored/ bruised 3 months later, and it is very rare that I bruise. Either the ink he “made” was bad, or he just didn’t know what he was doing. I though maybe he just isn’t good tattooing on black skin… but when my friend said hers was doing terrible too, I knew that wasn’t the only reason it turned out so bad. If he’s going to be cocky, he could at least do a good job.

Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Very happy with my experience. Will go back.

They accepted four walk-ins around midnight and was very chill. Very clean, and good at giving aftercare advice. Just got my septum pierced by them last Saturday. It was clean, and quick. Great job on the tats for my friends too!

Came here tonight and had the owner Riff tattoo me and it was an awesome experience and did an amazing job! Super friendly, patient, and kind! Will definitely come back again! 100/10 recommend

I got my septum pierced last night and Riff was super nice! It didnt cost as much as I thought it would ($60). Definitely plan on going back soon for a tattoo!

The people were great! Very nice and reassured me a lot about my first tattoo. The tattoo looks great 10/10 would go again.

Unique provided a great experience with my nose piercing!! Im very happy & I would recommend this establishment. The environment was chill & welcoming.

For my first piercing in 14 years was great to come here very professional, friendly and all around great. Definitely coming back to get work done!!

Got my nipples pierced tonight. Yes, it definitely hurt! It is a Tuesday night and Unique was the only one there. He was finishing up a tattoo when I arrived with my roommate. Unique was very friendly and professional. They definitely have the lowest piercing prices in town. I know they say you get what you pay for, but just because the prices are lower than everyone elses doesnt mean there is any lack in service or cleanliness. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. I did a walk in and was in and out within 45 minutes.

Shoutout to Unique for piercing the girls! I was recommended this location from a friend and had a walk in visit. The distraction tactic to build adrenaline..I appreciated that lol. Definitely a spot to check out for your desired piercings.

This is my second piece with Riff and he was great. Held conversation. Enjoy doing wut he does with love. Will always go there for more art

My experience was amazing from start to finish! This was my first tattoo and I felt so comfortable at Black Kay. Unique and all of the other staff was amazing, friendly and made the experience seamless yet entertaining. 10/10 recommend!!!

Dedication and work is stellar. Good all around experience!

Grace did an amazing job with my nose piercing! She answered all my questions throughly, and gave me an in-depth tutorial about the aftercare of it. I will definitely be visiting again. ☺️❤️

10/10 great septum piercing, i loved it, and the dude even noticed when i got light headed :)

Worked with Riff after he was recommended by a friend. Was super friendly and very knowledgeable. Their artwork is amazing and you can relax knowing you’re getting tattooed by a reputable and professional artist. Couldn’t be happier with my tattoo and will definitely be recommending them to others. Overall a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to go back!

I cant comment on time, I was a walk in...But...Unique pierced my nose, not only did he do a great job he is really friendly, informative and funny...most of all super gentle! Im going to lock him down for a tattoo next 😁😁😁Definitely recommend to everyone!!!

Did a great job on my tattoo would recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be going back for more tattoos the quality was amazing

Walked in yesterday to get a tattoo! Was able to get my tattoo right away! Unique was AMAZING so friendly and personable! I also got my belly button tapered! Good prices and super clean! 10/10! If I wasn’t moving soon this would be my new place to go for anything! Thanks unique ❤️❤️

Yo!!! Shout out to Riff for letting us 4 girls do a walk in!! Much love! Very clean and friendly place! Had a good time and all four of us got a great tat! You rock!!

Nice guys, very professional! Just its great!

If you need hands or chains done.. dont go girl. Lets just say I have a cover up comin..

Just got my nose pierced there a few days ago. Great place. Walk ins welcome. Clean. Atmosphere laid back. Thanks for fast friendly service.

Riff was extremely professional he takes pride in his work. I got my first tattoo done there best experience and I highly recommend coming here for all your tattoos and piercings

They fixed some1 elses mistake thank you black kat

I had really good service Riff is the man with a plan he gets it done better than anyone I would well will definitely come back again I highly recommend

I got a piercing here and everything was very clean and sanitary. The piercer Brandi was very nice and helpful. I am definitely coming back here for my next piercing, can’t wait to see her again.

She did it perfectly for someone who is nervous abt it

Ive following Riff Raff to every shop hes worked at for the last 12 years. Hes one of the best artists Ive seen around Clarksville.

Brandie was fantastic! I absolutely love my tattoo and she was very professional. Couldn’t say the same about the other artists there. The one found it necessary to insult other tattoo shops in the area and their artists. Overall they put off bad vibes, brandie was great though and deserves 4+ stars and I would be back to see her if she was at another location or had other coworkers.

My tattoo artist took his time and was very informative. It heeled nicely, and I 10/10 recommended black kat.

I have a terrible imagination, but riff was able to take what I described to him and draw up something 5x better then I could have imagined and turned it into an awesome tattoo

Brandi is amazing and I would definitely comeback! Got piercings done by her and she was quick and made the whole process painless and very easy! Theres no swelling or bleeding and she shared a lot of information for after care as well. Highly recommend her!

Very professional, best tattoo quality I’ve ever had

The artists are super cool and the shop is super clean. The one thing that genuinely bothered me is every time I have gone in the owner was getting in an argument with someone, telling someone no on their design or was rude. But, he is an amazing tattooist so it’s worth it. I have gotten a couple tattoos, my first one I’m really happy with but the second one was a blowout. The tattoo itself is very well structured but the ink bled out underneath my skin so I have green swarmed around it in a deeper layer so it looks like I have a giant bruise. I’m wishie washie but if you like simplistic designs then I recommend coming here but maybe on a good day

I love my tattoo !! It was my very first done by Brandi, she was very soft and discreet. Her cleanliness was amazing and the saturation of the black and grey and the perfection of the design I wanted really caught my attention. Brandi has a very friendly atmosphere about her and works perfectly with your schedule and budget. If anything, I will continue to go to this shop, all of their portfolios are very strong with detailed work.

Great shop. Cool artists and apprentice. Would definitely getting your tattoo or piercings done here!

I went in expecting a small tattoo and i came out with something fantastic for a very good price! Jay was awesome and funny throughout the experience!

I absolutely loved my experience here!! Riff is an amazing tattooist and very straight forward! Very professional and creative! He took the ideas my sister and I brought in and put his own spin on them! Omg waaaaay better than the pictures we showed him! He seems pretty serious for the most part, but we got a couple of chuckles out of him lol. Overall a great experience and we are in love with our tattoos!! We will be back!!

I just got my first tattoo! Riff Raff gave me my first tat. He was straight forward and honest about the whole thing and He wanted to draw up the tattoo. I go in 5 days later and see the drawing and once it is finished i am SUPER IMPRESSED! Everyone in there is good and I will be going back to get my next tattoos.

Excellence experience!!! BRANDI was our piercer and she was FANTASTIC!!! LOVED HER VIBE AND SHE WAS VERY INFORMATIVE!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Black Kat is the most amazing place ever. I went in today for my first tattoo and my nerves were instantly soothed by the staff. Riff and Brandi were helping me today and they did so good. My girlfriend got a tattoo from them about three months ago by Andrew and was also very pleased. I will definitely be returning

Danny is absolutely great to work with. He took my mom and I in as walk ins and spent the entire day giving us breathtaking tattoos! A great experience

Absolutely fabulous. Its a cool environment with cool people. Great prices for amazing work. Also, they have the Star Wars box set so theres another five stars. If youve got tender flesh and a dollar, stop on by.

Great experience here

They were very nice! The lady who did my nose piercing, I cant remember her name for the life of me was really sweet and did a very nice job on my piercing

I absolutely love this shop! when I go I am immediately greeted. I always feel so welcome when I come here. Everyone is so cool and nice I cant recommend them enough. Oh and of course they do amazing tattoos.

I went to Black Kat for the Friday the 13th tattoo special. As expected I waited 5 hours, no big deal. Staff remained relatively friendly the whole time. Riff Raff did my tattoo, the work he did was great. However, when I asked him to shade it in more he began to get an attitude with me. Proceeding to say that it looked better the way he did it. Then he decided he was going to shade it completely, after he started doing so he then decided to ask me if that was okay. I understand they were busy and had a long day, but that doesnt excuse how unprofessional he was. The work was good, but I probably wont be returning.

Danny did an outstanding job on my tattoo. He is very precise and careful on the tattoos and charges a fair price. He took on the challenge of covering up a traditional tattoo and did a phenomenal job. 10/10 would reccomend this place.

Very nice studio, friendly staff, and awesome art work. I highly recommend.

Got an industrial done by Brandi. She is so amazing and quick. The whole shop is full of great people. I cant wait to go back and get tattooed.

Best tattoo experience ive ever had. I get compliments on my tat all the time. Marsh is great talent

Overall great tattoo shop. Clean lines and great color, awesome atmosphere and staff. I have gotten a few pieces from Black Kat and will continue to get my work done there!

Ive gotten 3 tattoos done here and recommended friends. The atmosphere is wonderful and the tattoos are fantastic! I always get exactly what I wanted - sometimes better!

Love it

Really nice staff the piercer has sterile needles and jewlery and i lost the gem on my belly button ring and they replaced it for free

Went in this evening to get daith piercings. Brandi was absolutely amazing! I will definitely be coming back for my piercing and tattoos!!! Thanks for giving me a great experience!

Decent Prices for Jewelry but the Pricing on the tattooing is a bit High.

Went in asking about a touch up/ cover up and riff raff was a complete dick had nothing but negative things to say told me that he would not touch my tattoo and just overall a horrible experience, with him.. Went down to red five and had an amazing experience and they fixed my tattoo wonderfully, will not recommend or ever return to black cat!

I got my daith piercings on Dec 21, 2018. I came back a few times . She helped me get the swelling down after I went swimming in the sea. March 3, 2019 Spring break.

Great people that are easy to talk to! Riff did at tattoo on my forearm, he did a great job of taking what was in my head and bringing it to life! It looks amazing and i am proud to show off my new tattoo!

My daughter got her industrial piercing and the staff where Very nice and very professional. Clean establishment. Very pleased

Really love this place. They r amazing at what they do. I was very pleased with my tattoo. I will go back to get another one done for sure.

Great Atmosphere. Fantastic Artists. Wonderful Experience. We will be returning!

Brandi is so good with piercings! She’s so helpful and also very sweet!

New machines with an old school staff, riff raff and the rest of the staff are always inviting and fairly priced for the exceptional quality of art youll receive.

My husband and I went in late on a Sunday around closing time to get matching tattoos of our daughters names and Riff Raff took care of us. We got exactly what we wanted despite how nervous I was (he even said hed rather not do it if I wasnt sure which was respectable) but we absolutely love the way it turned out and Im so glad I did it!

Artists are good people and will help you decide whats the best way to do your tat and line work is amazing as well as their script and scroll work.

Most chill shop around. Good art at a good price! Talented artists too

MY SON AND I WENT IN WITH A FRIEND FOR OUR FIRST TATTOOS THE STAFF WAS VERY NICE AND TOOK THIERRY TIME TO MAKE SURE THE SURE THE TATTOO WAS DONE RIGHT .OUR TATTOOS LOOK BEAUTIFUL TODAY ILL RECOMMEND BLACK KAT TATTOO ANYONE.

Great artists quality tattoos I always feel welcome when coming here. Would definetly recommend coming here and seeing riff raff and his crew!

YOU GUYS ROCK!! I LOVE MY RE DONE TATTOO. LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER! THANK YOU RIFF!

The best iv been to an of got a lot of tatts they treat ya like family an do awesome work

Always loved this place good work good people

Marsh does great work!! I highly recommend him!!

I went there for a nose piercing. This isnt my first time having one and I wanted to get it back. The first thing I didnt like was that we arrived at 2 which is the time they open on saturdays but the piercing lady Brandi didnt arrive til 45 minutes later. I didnt sweat it though. The second thing that drIves me to write this comment is the fact that the nose piercing has fallen out after two days. I wouldnt reccommend getting a nose piercing until she upgrades her jewelry because she used one of the worst types of nose rings. The back was way too short and I kick myself in the butt for not checking the type of nose ring before I got it. A cork screw nose ring or a hoop wouldveprevented this issue or a longer version of thehook. Thank god it was inexpensive. Brandi was still pretty nice and cool though.

Great shop, reliable and they care about quality

Great place, great people, great work. A+ !!

Did awesome job

Awesome art work! Great experience Always!!!

Excellent piercing job.

Marsh is pretty awesome!

Awesome ppl 😁😁😁

Excellence on top of excellence

Best tattoo experience

Scam

Friendly staff

Edit: this review was originally from 2017, so I cant say this is still the most current state of the shop.Tattoo artist was knowledgeable but condescending and callous. Very critical of other tattoos I had gotten other places, which, by my standards are very good quality and have always been admired by others. Took over 90 minutes to begin the appointment, and took 4 hrs to do a small-medium size piece, which is not unheard of, just he took seemingly long smoke breaks pretty frequently. I can understand a break or two on a large piece, but this seemed excessive in this case. Also proceeded to hit on me during, which made me pretty uncomfortable. He did good work, brought great input into the art, but overall not a good experience. I dont mean to attack the guy, but his tableside manner is just brash as hell and inappropriate. Personally, I wont return it recommend.
