TATTOOED IN THE heart of Savannah

Savannah Ink Tattoo on Bull Street is one of the most accessible top-rated shops from Historic District hotels — wide range of styles, genuine walk-in availability, and friendly to visitors. Paris Joelle Tattoos, also on Bull Street, is the go-to for fine line and delicate custom work if that's the direction you're headed.
