Hey my name is Jon Griffin. I have been tattooing in east TN for almost a decade now. I love all types of tattooing including coverups, rework, traditional, and color. I do a lot of floral designs as well and enjoy those a lot. Check out my work, and if you have any questions about your next tattoo please don't hesitate to let us know!
Each tattoo is individual and tailored to each client so it is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string. However, when you book in we always try to price your piece and work to the budget agreed. We pride ourselves on providing a first class service that remains within reach of most peoples budgets.

I was a walk in. I just got my daith pierced about 2 weeks ago from here and the lady was so gentle and sweet. I dont know her name but she was short like me and had black hair and a neck tattoo. The piercing was only 30 dollars to get but I paid her 50 just cause she was so wonderful. I plan on going back to see if she can pierce my other daith too. 10/10

So I was just thinking about it now and had to write a review. I got a helix piercing done in June of 2020 and it turned out AMAZING. Took forever to heal but that’s just my fault lol. I got another one right under it this year in April or May this year? And it also took even longer to heal but I slacked taking care of it myself, but it’s perfectly fine now😂 I have to give an amazing review for Pickle, super duper nice and keeps everything clean and was careful. Very good at what he does

Was fortunate enough to walk in and speak with the owner Jon Goad about a tattoo. Sent a pic of my idea and he drew something up. He knocked it out of the park! This tattoo was above my expectations. We chatted for 2 hours while he worked, he was super friendly. Can't wait to go back for more work.

Critical: Professionalism
I got my nose pierced and they literally only had ONE jewelry option but promised a bigger selection in a couple weeks. Cut to today, 6 weeks later. Still no selection and on top of that, the new lady wanted to charge me $10 to change it out for me and wasn't friendly to boot. Zero customer service skills, do not recommend.

I love the clean, open feel of this studio. My artist is Amy Millz. She did three beautiful pieces for me over two sessions. She is friendly, super talented, patient, and was extremely accommodating of my very limited availability. She gave great feedback on my ideas in terms of size, placement, color, and everything else to ensure I ended up with something I was happy with and fit well with the tattoos I already had. I highly recommend this shop and Amy specifically.

I found Elite Tattoo January 2020 and have had 7 tattoos done there so far! Jon Griffin has done 5 of these and is the BEST! If you want a good video game character or gorgeous floral piece he’s the guy to see! Highly recommend him, 1000/10! He also has an easy-going personality and is great to get along with.
