Bellevue Tattoo Emporium

We welcome you by exploring your needs or curiosities.  We work full specrtum with customizing a design as unique and special as yourself.  Whether you provide us with an image, we colaborate ideas, or even create a custom image for you, we artisically interprit your idea.  Once we have your idea in place, we provide you a professional design at a very competetive and respectful price.  We're making a living, not a killing.  Above all, there are NO stupid ideas, merely untapped ideas.  At Bellevue Tattoo Emporium, YOU'RE the rockstar not the staff!

We have a combined 30 years of experience bewteen the two of us.

Many people ask us how we arrive at a price.  It really boils down to 3 factors, physical location, size, and complexity.  The combination of the three dictates that generally, we must see what your idea is and how it is effected by those elements.  In the event of a portrait or something very large, we charge an hourly rate of $150 per hour (pretty much the industry standard these days).  If the design can be achieved in three hours or less, we most often can assign a flat price.

Speaking for myself, Tom Chisholm, back in 2000, my brother had opened a tattoo studio in Orlando.  He wanted another artist for his business, so I began my career.

We get all ages (18 and over) from 18- 98.  Tattoo clients come from every age, and walk of life.  Many of them are right in front of you, and you may be surprised who you know who has them.

We enjoyed opening Bellevue's first ever Tattoo studio in this area of West Nashville, and the surrounding area such as Pegram, Kingston Springs, Fairview, Charlotte, White Bluff, and Ashland City

Seek out an artist that has a connection with what you would like to have done.  Often artists have specific strengths or passions

Be sure that a tattoo is something you have made with convinction, then see what kind of work they do, look at their portfolios
