Jason Martin brings Southern California-honed skill to Tennessee, with a Hendersonville studio focused on faith-inspired and meaningful custom tattoos.
Open since October 16, the studio fills a gap in the Middle Tennessee market for black-and-grey realism and vibrant neo-traditional tattoos—especially those centered around patriotism, spirituality, and remembrance. Veterans, active-duty clients, and locals of all walks of life are discovering that Martin offers more than ink; he delivers narrative-rich artwork in a space designed for connection and trust.
“I came here with the same work ethic that kept me thriving in SoCal—but it’s Nashville that gave me purpose again,” said Martin. “People here want tattoos that reflect something deeper—service, faith, memory. That’s what I love doing.”
With over two decades of experience, Martin’s reputation as one of the best tattoo artists in Nashville is built on both skill and service. Each piece is fully custom, cruelty-free, and crafted in a private booth using vegan and organic inks. His clients receive full aftercare support and digital previews, creating an all-in-one experience that respects their vision and values.
“Southern hospitality greeted me at the door,” Martin shared. “Nashville welcomed me in a way I hadn’t felt in years.”
The studio—curated alongside his wife, Staci—has become a hidden gem for those seeking faith-based tattoos in Tennessee that feel both personal and professional. The decision to settle in Hendersonville wasn’t just about geography. “Out here,” said Martin, “people care deeply about service, sacrifice, and faith. That speaks to me.”
Martin’s style combines bold symbolism with realistic detail, whether honoring fallen service members or expressing deeply held beliefs. His work appeals to clients looking for a tattoo shop in Nashville, TN that values collaboration over speed and deeply custom work over flash.
“The show taught me how to listen better—to pull out stories that deserve to be seen on skin,” he added, reflecting on his Marked: Military experience.
Elvis is currently accepting appointments at his Hendersonville studio, offering private consultations to discuss new designs with prospective clients.
