Blu Gorilla Tattoo Review, Prices, Services, Images

Brent did an amazing job on my tattoo. An overall great experience. The desk people (namely Henry) and artists are all very accomodating. Would recommend this to anyone. Especially if you want realistic art.

My wife, daughter, best friend, and I were recently in Charleston for a family vacation. I always like to get a tattoo while on vacation to commemorate the experience, and I just like tattoos.

I did a little research and found Blu Gorilla Tattoo. Folks had good things to say online, so I decided we would go there. I knew I would most likely get one, but my wife and daughter were unsure. My buddy needed a cover-up, but he was really on the fence about it.

We arrived without an appointment, and the first person we met was Henry. What an awesome dude! I really liked Henry a whole hell of a lot, and we just all vibed with him instantly. He was funny and gracious, listened to our ideas, and was not at all put out at having four people show up unannounced who wanted to potentially be tattooed within a limited time frame while the shop was super busy and all the artists were occupied already.

I had some ideas I had long been mulling over, and Henry helped me pick something that was doable and reasonable within the time frame we were working with but that I actually wanted and would be proud of.

Henry hooked us up with the various artists we ended up working with. My wife, daughter, and best friend all got Tyler, and he was an awesome dude and a great artist! My wife got a small commemorative tattoo, my daughter got a larger and more involved fine line paw print transformed into flowers for her fur baby, and my buddy got his cover-up done, which was a pretty large and involved tattoo that ended up being a large torch and did a fantastic job of covering up while being badass at the same time.  These were all done by Tyler, and he did a GREAT job.

I ended up working with Scott, and he was truly stellar. I adore my tattoo, and I am proud of it. It was done exceptionally well, and it is now about healed. He made me feel comfortable, was personable, funny, and had the presence of a true artist.

Everyone at the shop, including the other artists, was super cool and very friendly. They made us feel comfortable and welcomed.

If I lived in the area, I would definitely come back for more work, but at the end of the day, all I can say is that all of the tattoos we got were well done, and the vibe was very cool.

Kudos to Henry, Scott, and Tyler for being awesome and giving people exactly what they want! I highly recommend them!

I love this shop! (This is my 3rd time returning). Absolute best hands down in Charleston. Staff is extremely friendly, making sure you’re satisfied and leave with a smile.
I got the pleasure of meeting the owner Tim, and he truly is gold!
I love Blu!! Thank you so much for the work provided to me and my bf!
Forever customer!

We all came in to get matching family tattoos. Tyler was assigned to us – he did great! We had lots of fun hanging out with him and getting tattooed! He is very professional! Knowing he could do fine line tattoos made this even better!! I ended up getting extras once I knew that! I was very impressed with everything he did!! I highly recommend Tyler for your next tattoo!!

Went to Tim for the Friday the 13th deal today and he was awesome. I’ve been to a lot of shops in Charleston but never this Blu Gorilla location, but my experience was great and I’ll definitely be back in the future. My sister also got a tattoo from Tim that turned out amazing. Henry behind the front desk was great and super helpful, overall a really pleasant experience and I’m excited to come back!
