I’ve been getting tattooed by Boomer for almost ten years! Wtf lol. I fell in love with the shop the week they opened. Everything from the decor, the love they have for each other, it’s a tattoo shop of quality, and compassion for the community there a part of. I love everyone that works there! Gay, st8, Black, white, it’s doesn’t matter. Looking for a no bs shop with more banter than a Family guy episode. Look no further.

I was nervous about getting my first tattoo, but Boomer, with his patience and professionalism, made the experience enjoyable. Boomer is a talented artist who captured all the elements I wanted included in my tattoo. He not only met my expectations, but far exceeded them. I would recommend Boomer to anyone who is getting their 1st or 20th tattoo. Thanks Boomer!! Shereen

I had a bad experience last month trying to get my nose pierced at another shop in town so I was extremely nervous going into the Hornet's Nest today. They were amazing! It took seconds to get the piercing and it barely hurt at all. Everyone there was extremely nice. I would recommend the Hornet's Nest to anyone getting a piercing.

I saw boomer on Saturday and he was the best artist I’ve ever worked with! His drawing and tattooing skills are some of the best I’ve come across. He also makes you feel very welcome, at ease, and is very easy to talk to. I will DEFINITELY be back!

First time coming here for a tattoo and I was not disappointed. I love my piece, it’s exactly what I wanted. And it being an animal portrait I was really worried about how It would turn out. David did great and I highly recommend checking this place out.

I had been planning on my first tattoo for a while, and searched a good while for the right place! Upon hearing several good things about the Hornet's Nest and awesome reviews about every artist, I figured I'd check them out, and ow I have my first tattoo, done by Chris Weddle (still a work in progress though, needing coloring soon!), and I SERIOUSLY could NOT be more in love!! Chris is a most wonderful artist! And the whole atmosphere was wonderful, everyone was playful and positive, and just generally made me feel welcomed all throughout my visit... I cannot WAIT to go back!

I stalked Tattoo parlors/artists in Louisville on social media so I could find the right person and place to get the tattoo I wanted. Sean Stone gets a million stars from me. I basically told him what I was thinking and he provided a sketch for me that was near perfect, we tweaked a few things and I’m just in love with the detail he put into it.
Go see Sean Stone!!!!!!! 🙌🖤

I feel very lucky to have worked with David on my first tattoo. It was a big deal to me. He is a great communicator and very talented. His original art is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for a great experience!
