A Little bit about us

Six people standing and two people sitting in front of a wall decorated with tattoo flash art. The standing individuals hold sheets of paper with tattoo designs, including traditional flash art, traditional tattoos, and illustrative designs. The two sitting individuals are smiling, and the group appears to be in a tattoo parlor or art studio.

Don’t Tell Mama Tattoo and Iron Rite Tattoo South are family and veteran-owned studios. We believe in bringing the community together through expertly crafted tattoos in all styles and sizes, from fine line and realism to bold traditional work.

At our shop, success comes from the strength of our team. Each artist brings unique skills and creativity, but it’s the way we work together that truly sets us apart. We only welcome the best artists onto our team. Our people are dedicated to their craft, to professionalism, and to our clients.

Every tattoo is carefully designed and intended, created specifically for the individual wearing it. From start to finish, our focus is on collaboration, craftsmanship, and delivering tattoos that are as meaningful as they are beautifully executed.

We’ve earned our reputation for exceptional tattoo artistry and outstanding customer service. Specializing in all styles, we bring skill, precision, and passion to every piece we create. Rooted in traditional tattoo culture, we offer both walk-ins and daily appointments, making it easy for anyone to receive quality work without compromise.

Community is at the heart of our shops. Each year, we give back by donating a portion of our proceeds to local charities, sponsoring school sports teams, and supporting a variety of non-profit organizations.
