Best Tattoo Parlors in Pensacola, Florida

Being a Navy town from way back, Pensacola had tattoo parlors back before tattoos became another sign of conformity that is confused with rebelliousness. However, now all those now-swabbies who still labor under the impression that decking yourself out in body art is either a sign of rebellion or a means of expressing yourself—let’s face it, isn’t a tattoo by definition a way for the artist to express himself or herself—have even more opportunity. Pensacola has exploded into the tattoo artist capital of the Redneck Riveria.

When it comes to choosing the best tattoo parlors in Pensacola, all discussions begin, even if they don’t end, with three standout tattoo parlors. Kaoz, April’s Attic and the venerable Psychedelic Shack are without question the three most popular places in Pensacola to get inked. Since the Psychedelic Shack has three locations, this article will begin there. The Psychedelic Shack is a multi-dimensional tattoo parlor; they offer not only body art, but also piercings and alternative books. As far as the recent movement toward everybody and his sister getting a tattoo rather than everybody’s relative from the military, the Psychedelic Shack has been around the longest. The store features both male and female artists and offers up a variety of tattooing types. In addition to standard tattoos, they promise pain free tattoos and even do cosmetic tattooing. The place has a 60’s feel to it, as you might have guessed from the name. They also have a tremendous inventory of body jewelry for the more adventurous.
