I highly recommend Jason if you’re looking for an artist who truly cares about their work!

Fantastic experience: I pretty rarely leave reviews unless I have just an absolutely terrible experience at a place but Ink Addictions is one of the few places that has absolutely blown me away with their service. My artist was Jimmy and his skills and ability to make you feel immediately comfortable are unmatched. Easy to talk to and ask questions, or even just sit in comfortable silence for 2 hours lol (I’m not always a talker) I had 3 tattoos prior to the one I got here but the environment at Ink Addictions is just incredible and nothing else compares. Everyone was lovely. Will 100% be coming here from now on for my tattoos.

Fantastic experience: This shop is the best in Lex! Super chill and extremely clean. Zion is tough, see him‼️

Fantastic experience: I’ve been getting tattoos from Jimmy for several years and always leave the shop feeling completely satisfied and excited about my tattoos. He’s a very talented artist with skills across multiple styles and Jimmy always makes the experience comfortable because he listen and respects my opinions and is understanding about when it comes to breaks or discussing placements and I have never once felt rushed or dismissed. I feel like I’m getting a great deal every time and Jimmy will continue to see me as a customer because the quality of his work and the care he puts into each piece are absolutely worth it.

Fantastic experience: Jason Gilliam Took me as a walk-in fantastic artist, great conversationalist, next time I’m back in town will swing back through to get another. 100% Recommend!

Katera was the best artist I could’ve asked for—she was clear, professional, and communicative throughout every step of the process. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

Fantastic experience: We had such a great experience here. My husband and I both got very minimal fine-line tattoos and absolutely love how they turned out. The studio was clean, welcoming, and professional, and the overall vibe was relaxed and comfortable. Our artist, Zion, was easy to talk to, respectful, and made the experience even better. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this shop!

I would happily recommend him to anyone!

Arrived, not expecting to get a tattoo for a month or so but they set me up with an artist who started tattooing me maybe 30 minutes after we talked about what I wanted.

All the other artists who stopped by to check on the progress seemed great and chill too! Will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: came to ink addiction in january 2025 to get some matching tattoos with my sister. met jimmy for the first time then, he did my very first 3 tattoos for me which i love and have held up great since then. not only was i incredibly nervous and sweated all over his seat, but id never ever gotten a tattoo before either. he gave me a little pain test with no ink in the needles, and instantly i was like “OKAY I CAN DO THIS” my tattoos turned out awesome and he gave me a business card. fast forward to september 2025 i flew out all the way from texas to see him again for more ink! he is not only an incredible artist with amazing work ( embroidered looking tattoos to make them look like patches ) but he is also so funny, so nice, and very very understanding. sitting with him for 9+ hours total it’s safe to say he’s my favorite artist and will be flying back to lexington to get more work from him!! love you jimmy!! here’s some of the little things he’s done for us!
