Imperial Tattoos 972 Barret Avenue, Louisville, KY 40204

"Just started coming here so I could get a few cover ups, and I know where I will come for now on for everything! Originally came to get worked on by the owner, but he's so good, he is booked for months. But he recommended an amazing artist there, Koal, who does badass work. Free handed an awesome, detailed clown on my arm that covers half my arm, and several tattoos, and I could not be happier. Cool dude, great work, best shop around!"

"I came here for my 3rd tattoo and the 1st at this place, Matt took care of me and I came out very happy. Very professional with a lot of care and attention to us, the result is exactly what I expected. I know the place for my future tattoo now ! I recommend!"

"My son and I came here most weekends he came home to visit. They do great work. M@ is the artist I've been working with and the last piece he drew and put so much thought into it I was literally brought to tears when he finished. Very hospitable and empathic. Highly recommend."

"I’ve been going to this shop for years, doesn’t matter which artist you go to - you’re getting the best in the area. Sean Smallwood is untouchable, and John, Glenn, Matt, and Tim will have you fixed up and happy with whatever you get. I’ve come in with vague ideas and watched them come to life. I’ve had precise ideas and watched them crafted to perfection. You will not find a better studio in town - Imperial is the best, and their artists are at the top of their game."

"John’s my man! I’ve been seeing John for quite some time now, and I am always excited about the work that he creates for me. His creativity and work is exquisite, but the overall experience has been the best tattoo experience, I have sat through! Check him out! He’s an incredible artist and will not disappoint."
