10/10 would recommend! Been 3 years since my last tattoo and I was pretty nervous but they make you feel so welcomed... and comfortable, very experienced so you won’t have to worry about a botched job, and they work with what you want and how you want it the best! Love my new tattoo and will return for many more! 😁read more

I have had 2 tattoos done by Mike. He does an amazing job at what he does. He is extremely precise. I was so happy to... find a talented artist in Charlotte. I'll never go to anyone else. He also did one for my daughter and she is in love! Mike is also a great person to chat with and share stories with during the experience. See you again soon friend!read more

Brian Lee is an amazing tattoo artist. I was visiting the area and wanted something very small to honor my father who... recently passed away. He was professional and his work exceeded my expectations. I’m so glad he was able to work me in. This was not my first tattoo but I would most definitely travel from Raleigh to come back for additional work. I went to him based on reviews and I’m so glad I did.read more

Love this place! I gave Mike an idea of what I wanted, and let him do the rest. He was able to hook me up with this... beautiful peacock! Not only are Mike and Brian both amazing artists, they’re super cool guys, the environment is fantastic, and Mike was more than capable of dealing with me whining when he was working on some really tough areas.read more

Brian and Mike were amazing!! They came in early to squeeze us in on a Saturday morning. Myself and three friends got... small tattoos and were there a little over an hour. Everything was super clean and we had great conversations. Most importantly we all love our tattoos and the prices were more than reasonable! 10/10 recommend this place!!! Thanks Mike and Brianread more

Had an amazing experience with Michael. He is a fantastic artist. He took a piece of art my friend drew for me and gave... it life. I will always come here for future work. Great conversation and wonderful technique. Really an amazing place.read more

From initial inquiry to the actual tattoo session, exceptional experience. It's a no-brainer for me to recommend Uptown... arts to others and to keep going back for future tattoo ideas. Michael was my tattoo artist and is aweome. Answered my email inquiry and set up times for me to come in a discuss my tattoo ideas and scheduled appointments. He was understanding when I had to reschedule too. He's completely transparent which I think is pretty damn important when you're getting something permanently inked on your body. He isn't afraid to joke around so that's a plus. He suggested my tattoo redesign, size and placement to ensure the best quality. The other tattoo artist were friendly and were cracking jokes; like the comraderie. I'm completely happy with my tattoo and look forward to getting more tattoos at Uptown Arts. Highly recommended so go see them!read more
