Worked with us on scheduling and design. Came up with some great changes and some really good ideas for future work. Great place to get a great tattoo. I recommend to others to go here and Ill definitely be back

I have been going to Brian Allen for over a year now for all of my tattoo and tattoo needs. He is absolutely amazing as an artist, professional, and such a kind human being. After having run into two artists before him that either messed up my tattoo or simply wouldn’t return messages, I was pretty skeptical that I would find another artist. I’m so happy that I found Brian at high caliber.

My husband and I came in for a tattoo today. Brian, who was freaking awesome btw (super sweet and professional) got us right in. He did a cover up for me which turned out so much better than I had hoped and some amazing names on my husband. Everything was so clean and a really good atmosphere! So worth the money for good work! 100% will be back for next ink! Would definitely recommend!

Gordon was outstanding! Not only did he create a unique piece, but the tattoo was perfect for my husband as well. We ended up with matching tattoos, but on different parts of our body.The shop was clean and Gordon was a pleasure to chat with as well. Would highly recommend if your in Hendersonville! Thank you so much!

Brian is professional, talented, organized, and kind. Place was clean and safe. When my grandson wanted a tattoo I told him that Brian was the best in the area and now he agrees and will always go to him for any tattoos in the future. Thanks Brian

Mike was excellent!! He tattooed an owl on my thigh. Mike was funny and gives great advice. 10/10 Definitely recommend

Awesome place for my first tattoo! Brian was great guy to work with, very knowledgeable, sterile, and professional. Ill definitely be back! Thanks again, Brian

They fit me in on a walk-in on my vacation trip. They were all very kind and very professional. they tattooed me in 30 minutes for a complicated tattoo. High recommend. best place in town.

Clean, friendly, professional. This was my second time getting tattooed by Gordon, great guy! Im pleased with the end result.

I have wanted a tattoo for a while and I came to the right place :) they were clean, professional and helped me to honor my dad. I am absolutely in love with my new ink. Thank you Mike Pace. You are awesome! I will be back for my next piece.

Three times now I have left this shop with beautiful work done on me but this time was different. This time I got my favorite piece Ive ever had put on me by anyone! Brian done an absolutely amazing job on my tiger and flowers tattoo and Im in love with it. I 10/10 will book another appointment with him in the very near future when I figure out what else I want to add on my sleeve. Brian was friendly, he was professional and he was quick with a steady hand. This piece is phenomenal and Im super happy to show it off! I will definitely be back very soon and look forward to working with Brian again. He did amazing! Id give 10 stars if it was possible. Coming to him all the way from Greenville SC. -Tabitha.

Mike was very professional and efficient. I had my small tattoo done in less than 15 minutes! I’m in love with my new piece - would definitely recommend if you’re in the western Carolina area!

Gordon is a very good tattoo artist and he is a person with a lot, a lot of patience, he is attentive to your needs and makes you feel comfortable. He is very nice. Its very clean and tidy establishment.

Mike did a wonderful job on my piece. Very clean workspace. The privacy between rooms was great as well.

Great shop! Sean Zee did an AMAZING job on my arm. His artwork and design is extraordinary. He also fixed up some old fading work I had from years ago and made it pop like never before. I am incredibly happy. A true artist I highly recommend.

Mike Pace is an excellent tattoo artist! He reworked a tattoo (that was done by someone else) and now I have a beautiful half sleeve that I LOVE. I receive so many compliments on his work! I recommend him 100%. Great artists typically are booked out but I promise he’s worth the wait. ☺️ Check out his Insta and see for yourself! @mikepacetattoo

I’ve never had a body piercing other than my ears, but I went in March 2020 for a nose piercing. I told myself if I ever got another piercing, I would go back there. Mike, who pierced my nose and done my current tongue ring, was very professional and courteous. Even the atmosphere in there has a professional presentation, which I feel, is very important. The establishment is very clean and very well maintained. I would highly recommend them to anyone for piercings.

These guys have been doing my tattoo work for 20 years! Brian is the best... hands done I cant thank him enough for making my dream a reality! Hes very easy to talk to and will make sure everything is perfect. The best way to go about it is to give him at least a a week-a few days before your appointment or for him to do some research and or to draw out what you want done, especially if its custom. That way he has more time to blow your mind with the temp! If for some reason you want to edit or change something that gives him more time to perfect it and yall arnt scrambling for time!

This was my husband and my first experience with this tattoo shop. I had called earlier today and Gordon was able to do both tattoo’s today. The place is very clean, he is very personable, professional, and excellent at what he does. We gave him our idea, he drew it up perfectly and we love it! I have had previous work done where they had a very heavy hand and this was not the case at all. Thank you Gordon, you are an asset to the community. Hope to see you again soon!

Mike did a awesome job on my tattoo, would recommend to anyone 👌

Very professional and clean. Impressive.

High Caliber Tattoo was clean and Bryan Allen was professional with a quick draw. Bryan designed mine and my daughters matching tattoos. They are excellent. He is easy to work with and very nice. He wasnt judgemental or arrogant like some artists I have worked with in the past. Bryan came highly recommended to me and I also highly recommend him as his work is outstanding.

Im so happy with my new ink! Brian was great, professional and gave me exactly the tattoo I wanted!

This is the place to get your tattoo. Brian was professional, courteous, respectful and very patient when we kept changing our minds. He does beautiful work!!!!! Thank you Brian!!!

I went and had my second tattoo with Brian and he is a true, humble man of God. I have lost my husband back in July and he done my first one and i went back today and got the second. He prayed for me and also took time out of his morning to talk to me and if i needed anything to please contact him. He takes his time and does exactly what you want and doesnt rush getting it done. The shop is very professional and so clean. If you ever want to get a tattoo i would defiantly recommend Brian. He is a great person and enjoys making others happy.

Have zero complaints with Brian and his crew. Very clean very professional great value and an amazing artist. Commuted all the way from South Carolina three hours well worth the trip

I have visiting these guys for almost 16 years and they all do great work. They are always friendly and want you to leave with a great tattoo. I would tell anyone to trust your skin with High Caliber.

My friend and I called High Caliber in a spur of the moment decision to get tattoos. We were just checking to see availabilities but to our surprise they were able to take us in within 30 minutes. Brian drew up our dream tattoos and did an amazing job on the both of us. He was so friendly and professional. Our experience with him was so great that we plan on coming back for future tattoos. Couldn’t imagine a better experience!

Amazing work by Brian Allen. Felt extremely safe and he made me feel very comfortable!

I just got my first tattoo there and they did a great job with the art work and giving good advice about how to take care of my tattoo. But to all the people wanting to check this place out I recommend 💯💯💯💯. And they are very safe

Brian is an amazing artist. The shop is clean and the staff are all friendly. He has now done a couple of pieces for me. I will go back and recommend the shop and Brian to anyone wanting a quality piece.

Gordon was super nice and did a great job on my tattoo. I love it! Definitely recommend him.

I just got my left cartilage pierced and I have a lot to say about this place. First of all it was recommended to my by one of my local friends. So let me just say thank god for that! High caliber is incredibly clean which is always what you want out of you tattoo shop. Not only is it clean the staff is incredibly friendly and quick. I will 100% be coming back here for my next tattoo ❤️ love this place

We had a three family vacation in Black Mountain. It was hard to find a tattoo place with availability during our four days. Brian at High Caliber was very nice a professional when dealing with last minute of walk ins. He was booked all day, but made time to fit all six of us in. We didn’t ask for major artwork and it was two of our groups first tattoos. All six of us took a total of 2.5 hours to process. We really appreciate Brian and High Caliber for this great establishment. Thank you Brian for completing a memorable trip for us.

I had Gordon do my tattoo and he was absolutely amazing. Not only was he clean but he also was very light handed so it didnt hurt as bad but he was also very kind and made the whole experience just great. I would definitely recommend coming here and will definitely be coming back!

I got a cover up done of an old tattoo and it turned out amazing!! Give Brian a call, outstanding artist!!

We had a GREAT experience at High Caliber. It was me and my friends first time getting a tattoo and he was extremely thorough and detail oriented. We are very happy with the final product! Super friendly service - would highly recommend!

I cant speak highly enough of this place. I got a daith piercing while on vacation, and when I got home I realized it was healing improperly. I reached out and they saw me the next morning. Mike took a look, got the piercing reopened, and found me a proper earring. I was in and out in ten minutes, and charged less then I was expecting. I was impressed with the cleanliness, promptness, and overall friendliness of the staff. Especially since I got it pierced somewhere else, cant brag about them enough. Thank you guys!

I was looking for a new tattoo shop since I moved into the area and I found it. Gordon is awesome I highly recommend him.He was able to create exactly what I envisioned and hes really easy to work with!I cant wait to get another.Thanks again Gordon!😊

Am new to NC, checked out alot of portfolios when I came across Gordons. His style was just what I was looking for. Ive gotten tattoos across the country and Gordons line work is amazing and by far the best!! The pieces he added, dragonfly and the hummingbirds and flowers are in color, amazing! I will definitely be back and I highly recommend Gordon. I had an awesome time at the shop. Met all the other artists as well, very professional and nice. The place was clean and they took all precautions for safety. Thank you so much!!

This is my first time here coming here and I HIGHLY recommend Brian. He drew up my tattoo and made it perfect.Great prices also

Love seeing Brian Allen at High Caliber! Love his art work. I’ve gotten 5 tattoos from Brian and love each piece of art. Always on time & clean work place. Can’t wait to get another tattoo from Brian

These guys were very professional and followed all COVID protocols. Will definitely be returning.

I called to set up an opponent and was told to send pics and never got a reply back, which I find very unprofessional, the least someone could do is reply back but oh well they just lost out on a lot of money and what could have been a repeat customer!

Gordon did an amazing job!!! As he always does. Hes the only tattoo artist I go to. The shop is clean and has a inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend High Caliber and Gordon is the best:)

My last 3 tattoos have been by Gordon!! 100% recommend! Nothing but good things to say about this man and his work! Will be back for sure!

Very friendly and easy-going. Brian did an amazing job and really knows what he’s doing!! Great atmosphere, will definitely go again :)

Great people and very talented artists would recommend them to anyone.

Didnt do the work after I set up appointment

Clean, quick and excellent work

Roe did an amazing job. my tattoo turned out better than i ever thought it could. he is fun to talk to and got everything i needed. it was a hard concept to do but he made it amazing. 10/10 would recommend!!

Brian Allen is Awesome!!!! What a great experience,very professional and one hell of a artist.

Best service ever, super talented and extremely professional. Totally awesome!!!!!

I cant say enough good things on here about Brian and High Caliber. So professional, and clean. Great quality art work from great people. Ive been to a few shops and this one is by far the best. I wont be going anywhere else. 🙂

Very clean, nice staff, laid back atmosphere. Artists are friendly and professional, prices fair. DONT forget to tip 😀😀

Gordon done my most recent tattoo and did an amazing job!! I was very happy with the results, I defiantly recommend him. He was very professional and listen to what I wanted and answered any questions I had. Will definitely be back to see him in the near future!

Absolutely amazing work! We were here on vacation and they were highly recommended! I contacted the shop and even though Brian was booked solid through August he managed to work us in! That is CUSTOMER SERVICE! We got three high quality pieces and left extremely satisfied!

Absolutely beautiful work! I had the pleasure of Cody Reed to design and apply my tattoo! Im in love with it! Way beyond all expectations/ dream of my tattoo! A total of 9 hours, in 2 sittings, and its one of the most beautiful tattoos Ive ever seen! I will definitely be back soon to have 2 tattoos merged into one! I have no doubt that Cody will bring 2 beautiful pieces into one breath- taking masterpiece!

I gave a concept to Mike that I was thinking about and he let his imagination go, putting together an amazing piece to start my sleeve! He work is incredible and I can’t wait to add the next piece. Do yourself a favor and get on the list to have him do some work for you!

Brian did an amazing beautiful job for my sister and I today. We just lost our Daddy and wanted a way to honor and remember him forever and we told him what we wanted and it turned out just beautiful!Highly recommended, very clean shop!

I got my first tattoo done by Brian and he is SO talented at what he does. I am so happy with it! It’s perfect and I can’t wait to come back ☺️

Brian is amazing! If you are looking for custom designed tattoos, he is the guy!

Great place everyone is polite and professional. Fair prices and Gordon does awesome work an artist.

Brian did my tattoo & he was super nice! Very chill & I didn’t feel pressured like I normally do at parlors. Definitely recommend him. He did an amazing job!

I’ve gotten 2 tattoos by Brian now after he tattooed my mom! He always does a great job, his work place is extremely clean & he is on time. I always come back and get work done when I come up.

I got my first tattoo here. They were so friendly and helpful and made me feel at ease by talking me through the process. Also, super clean! Gordon is awesome!

So today I got my first tattoo at 69 years old for my Birthday. It was something I had thought about for many years. Brian at High Caliber Tattoo was recommended and he did not disappoint! Being a retired Nurse cleanliness was my biggest concern and not only did he take the correct precautions he answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone wanting their first or adding to current ones. I will be back!! Thank you Brian!!

Super friendly, great work, good price and very covid-19 responsible

I went here to have my 7th tattoo. My experience of the shop and owners was top notch. My artist, Gordan, was very professional and listened to my story regarding the new tattoo I wanted. Gordans tattooing is by far the cleanest lines Ive had in the past 16 years of tattoos Ive had. I will not be going back to any other shop than this one. Love it! Cant wait to go back!

Theyre great. Just go there.

Fast, friendly and now I have my septum pierced. All good. Dont be rude, tip them!

Great artwork!! Everyone- both friends and strangers complementing on the tattoo

Friendly people, helpful in design services

Brian did a wonderful job on my cover up. He made me feel comfortable and I am in loveee with the result

I am thankful my daughter and I could not get our tats where we started. My daughter suggested we go into High Caliber and check it out.. That idea was a blessing☺Katie greeted us with a smile. She gave us suggestions and then went to work on creating a Beautiful tattoo that my daughter and I now show with pride..Thank you Katie😊😊😊 See you again soon

Brian Allen was the man for the job for my disaster of a tattoo i got in Florida. He turned a hopeless looking tattoo into a thing of beauty, I highly recommend coming to high caliber. And also highly recommend using Brian!

My sister in law brought me here and Im so glad Not only did we get to enjoy a beautiful drive here The gentlemen here were so patient and talented the shop is inviting and relaxed And Brian who did mine its a god thing he is a pastor to boot ..my brother in law who just passed this week was named Brian !

Katie is an amazing Artist, she drew exactly what I wanted. My tattoo turned out perfect! The atmosphere is amazing here. I felt so comfortable. Highly recommend this place as well as Katie!

TWICE, I have been to this shop and have left EXTREMELY happy with some BEAUTIFUL ink work. I got lucky yesterday when I walked in wanting a price on a small silhouette piece and Cody Reed was able to do it right then for me due to a last min change from a previous customer appointment. Cody was very friendly, clean, professional and does GORGEOUS work. 10/10 I would recommend to anyone wanting quality affordable work done that youll love for the rest of your life! I am wanting come come back in a couple of weeks in hopes that Cody can continue on some sleeve work I started 2 years ago. I saw a hand drawn photo hanging in his space that would look gorgeous with the lily and butterfly work I already have done on my upper arm. Super excited and I can not wait!

Friendly staff but they did not do the piercing how I wanted. Didn’t ask me what jewelry I wanted.

I came in, with an idea, Brian Allen was able to sketch it out just how I wanted. Super awesome dude. He is a Christian and recommend him to anyone.

This is by far the cleanest and most friendly shop I have ever been in. The entire staff is truly talented artists. Mike Pace is a phenomenal artist and a really cool guy to talk to. He has been working on a nautical themed sleeve for me and has continued to impress me with each session. I would highly recommend you visit with them if you want a true high quality tattoo.

I felt welcomed the minute I walked in the door. Gordon worked with me to pick out the tattoo I wanted. He was very professional and did a great job.i would recommend him

I picked out a tattoo I wanted back in September and looked into where some good shops and artists were located. I asked around, and EVERYONE recommended High Caliber. I called ahead to see when a good time was and stopped in around 5. Lucky for me, Brian Allen was in. This was my first tattoo on the outside of my left foot, a very sensitive area. I brought a friend along for moral support. Brian was a very nice guy who talked me through the whole thing and made me feel very welcome. The shop was spotless. Brian did an awesome job creating a beautiful mountain range on my foot and Im so glad I chose this tattoo shop!

It was truly a awesome experience. Me and my beautiful wife both got tattoos from Mike Pace. He is very talented and the workmen ship was incredible. I highly recommend going to go to high caliber tattoos.

This is my first tattoo, and it was a great experience. Brian Allen did a fantastic job. He was funny, considerate, and I couldnt have asked for a more perfect tattoo. The shop is extremely clean, and the staff is professional. Trust me. You cannot go wrong getting a tattoo here.

Ive gotten two tattoos by Brian and my daughter got her first from Cody. The super nice and clean. The staff is friendly and willing to make your custom tattoo perfect. If your looking for a place to go. Go to High Caliber.

I came all the way from Asheville! Of the simple fact that they TOLD me they could do my snake bite tongue piercing I get all the way out here had to wait only for him to tell me they don’t do them! Then the manager asked him if he had explained it to me because they came all the way from Asheville he said yeah which he DID NOT!

I had a wonderful experience here! Ive went to a few places to have ink done and I was very pleased with the results from here. The tattoo artist was very friendly and informative I had minimal irritation and scabbing. Will definitely be going back to get more work done!

Everyone there is great. Great artist, great people, great atmosphere but most importantly great tattoos. Katie is very professional and artistic shes done my last two tattoos (both big lettering pieces) and they are my favorite and best tattoos to date. She covers a lot of different styles so if you are in the area and looking for ink stop by and check her out. #customerforlife

WOW. Had my very first Tattoo, Im seventy (70+). Mike was so good..I have had NOTHING but raves about the awesome design. I love my Tattoo. Kind, friendly and super clean. GREAT EXPERIENCE ❗👍.

This was my first tattoo and Ive heard a lot of good things about this High Caliber, even my best friend got her first one here too and she said: Make sure you have Brian do it! Hes the best! And I did. And he was! He gave me good advice about how to prepare for getting a tattoo and he did his best to make me feel as comfortable as possible! He helped me with the placement of my tattoo and I trust his opinion. I got the tattoo today and its doing awesome! I am so glad that I went there for my first tattoo. Brain also knew how important the tattoo was to me and treated it like a big deal but at the same time acted really comforting. This place over all is just fantastic! Thanks guys :)--Isabella

Katie Montes has done all of my tattoos! She is an amazing artist and so easy to talk to (which is nice when you have to sit there for 5+ hours). Her fine lines & lettering are some of the best I have ever seen. She brings tattoos to life with her brilliant use of colors. I highly suggest Katie to anyone looking for a great tattoo artist! The shop is well kept and very comfortable.

Brian Allen is such an amazing artist. My flowers pop out and come to life! He has done three tattoos for me and they all look fantastic! Had one done today and Im in love with it! Also their shop is so clean and sanitary. Go to High Caliber Custom Tattoo!

I was able to do a walk in on short notice and Cody was very professional and walked me through everything with great details for my first tattoo. He let me know if I needed to take any breaks it would be fine. He did an amazing job on my Pink Floyd tattoo. Beautiful colors and great line work. Shading looks awesome also. Definitely will recommend to anyone whos looking for a tattoo. Really good price for the time and work it took to do also.

I absolutely love this place I would recommend it to anyone looking for new ink!!!! Ask for Brian he😀 hes just out of three amazing talented artists here!!!!
