Studio 617 Tattoos

The artists at this studio are exceptional. I have pieces by Kris and Mikey and can’t wait to return for more stunning artwork.
Tattoo day was super smooth and they both provided great conversation to pass the time. High quality aftercare products were given and the studio was quickly responsive when I had a question. I also left with a thoughtful goodie bag from the awesome secretary Brittany.
Go ahead and book a consult with them now ;)

This is THE BEST tattoo parlor in Greater Knoxville. From booking to completion, the whole experience was a breeze. I received a BEAUTIFUL tattoo from Tucker. His design was perfect. And, he had the lightest hand imaginable. The shop was VERY clean. It has an amazing atmosphere and vibe. Everyone was super friendly. They even tried to buy me Sonic when they went on a snack run. I can't recommend Studio 617 enough!

I am giving 5 stars ⭐️to studio 617 because I feel that they really deserve it. From the very first contact I had with them from the consult appointment to the actual day of the tattoo being done- they have been professional, friendly and helpful and kind. The minute I walked in to the studio , I loved it!❤️‍🔥 They have awesome furniture 👑and decor, rad artists work ☠️ on 💀the walls, fantastic vibe for a tattoo shop the minute you walk in the door. 🖤
I knew I had found my go-to-shop. Everything was clean and organized, plenty of artists rooms, chill vibe there. I felt I picked the right spot. Brittany 🦋at the front desk is great. She provided timely responses and great communication and customer service. The pricing is a little on the high side compared to other studios but my feeling is you get what you pay for. I wanted to be sure I chose an outstanding artist at a high skill level. Putting a tattoo on your body is a big investment so choose wisely! I chose studio 617 because the piece I was having done was realism and a lion with roses partial sleeve, Thomas Hunt was in town traveling to their studio accepting appointments, and he specializes in realism tats and loves to do animals. We met at consult and I knew he was my guy. Boy was I blown away! 🎉💥Thomas was by far 5 plus stars! ⭐️He was on point with knowing exactly what I wanted. It was a slight cover up and he nailed it. Clean lines, excellent skill level and just completely outstanding job. 🔥He killed it! I met some of the others, Kris, Mikey, Tucker, everyone was so friendly and fun to interact with. 😎Just an all around professional and fun group of all star artists that are just amazing. Thomas made me feel comfortable and very at ease. I knew I was in good hands with him! Brittany came in and checked on me a couple times to see how it was going. She was so lovely🌻
Thomas got into his groove with some music on 🎶and just went at it. Just under 4.5 hours and I had an amazing partial sleeve. I am super thrilled with the piece! Very happy! 🥳It was a very meaningful piece and I am so glad I chose Thomas and studio 617 to fullfill my dream. 🦁🌹Thomas is a rock star! 🙌🏻⭐️❤️‍🔥
Thank you all! I hope to return soon for another piece. Love y’all! So grateful! 🙏🏻
✌🏻 & ❤️

Olivia Manion. She is by far the best tattoo artist that I have ever had. Her lines are beautiful and the atmosphere in her space is amazing and comfortable. Thanks so much Olivia and Studio 617 for doing what you do!

LOVE this studio. The atmosphere is so welcoming & friendly. Their artistic & tattooing skills are phenomenal. As soon as you give them an idea, their minds are racing with so many possibilities. You WILL leave with a tattoo you are obsessed with. I could not recommend Studio 617 and every artist here enough!

I had the most amazing experience working with these guys. Kris Ford and his crew are super talented and very friendly. I just got a piece done by Kris yesterday and it was by far the best experience I’ve had with a tattoo shop. He listened to my ideas and used his creativity to come up with the most amazing tattoo. I couldn’t be happier!

What a fantastic place to get a tattoo! Everyone here is super nice fun and high energy! I got a tattoo with Mikey and he was great for my first one. I will come back in January to finish it and I'll share my tattoo when it's done!

I just got a tattoo done by Olivia Manion and I couldn’t be happier. She listened to what I wanted at our consultation and explained the process of the day of the tattoo. She came through with a beautiful design. She made me feel so comfortable and was so sweet! To add to that, the overall vibe of the shop is really chill. Everyone else that was there was very friendly and made me feel welcome, unlike other tattoo shops that
I’ve been to. I will absolutely be coming back, as I had a lovely experience. 10/10 recommend 😊💕

This is the cleanest and most professional tattoo shop that I've ever visited. Kris Ford is an incredible artist with insane tattooing skills. I've gotten a couple large tattoos by Kris and have been amazed both times at not only the job that he did, but also how well they healed. I plan on getting several more tattoos here. I always feel welcome when I'm greeted with smiles by Brittany at the front desk. If I could give more stars I would. I highly recommend Kris and Studio 617!!!

I 12/10 highly recommend this studio. The staff is amazing, there’s great communication, and everyone makes you feel comfortable. I got tattooed by the lovely Olivia Manion, and I adore her work! She is very delicately handed, and she listens very well to any request you have. She mixed her own colors for my tattoo, and worked with me on any adjustments I requested. She also gave me feedback whenever I asked for her opinion which I highly value. If you want a wonderful tattoo with equally wonderful people to match, then you need to book an appointment with studio 617.
