Sacred Magnolia Tattoo — Local services in Lyman

If you’ve ever gotten a tattoo then you know that the most difficult part of the process is not laying on the table as you are stabbed with sharp needles, tho that’s not exactly easy lol. The hardest part is finding an artist that you trust with making a permanent change to your body. Sometimes you can find a “great artist”, but the real miracle is to find a “great tattoo artist”. These are not the same thing. A great artist will listen to your ideas and draw you a wonderful piece of art and they will put it on your skin. It will look good for a little while and then you’ll notice that the lines are wobbly and the colors have faded. Whereas a great tattoo artist will take that piece of art and has the talent/knowledge to ink it into your skin, while making you feel comfortable and relaxed enough that you forget about the process of being stabbed with needles. They will apply their skills in such a way that your line work is smooth and your colors stay vibrant for years (assuming you wear sunscreen, like you’re supposed to). I spent months looking online and getting references before I chose my artist. The ladies at Sacred Magnolia Tattoo Parlor are amazing! They are what I classify as “Great Tattoo Artists”. If you have an artistic idea that you need fleshed out on paper, go see them. If you already have a piece of art finished and just need it applied, go see them. If you are looking for a particular style of art, go see them. If it’s not their style, they have the references and connectionst to set you up with the best artist to help you. I promise you won’t be disappointed in the level of care they put into taking...

Sacred Magnolia Tattoo Shop is an absolute gem in every aspect. As a woman-owned establishment, their professional and welcoming demeanor fosters a nurturing environment where clients' ideas flourish into stunning works of art. It's immediately apparent that the team's passion extends beyond the confines of their studio, as they ardently advocate for and support local animal shelters, demonstrating genuine compassion for our furry friends.

The level of artistry present here is truly exceptional. Each artist exudes kindness and creativity, ensuring that every piece is not only expertly executed but also possesses a touch of surreal beauty. Moreover, the tattoos' healing process doesn't diminish their original exquisite quality, a testament to the artists' mastery of their craft.

What's equally commendable is the welcoming nature of the shop. Regardless of background, culture, or personal beliefs, Sacred Magnolia embraces every client with open arms, creating a safe space where individual uniqueness is celebrated. The team's commitment to inclusivity and support for the community embodies the true spirit of tattooing – a form of expression that transcends boundaries.

I can not recommend Sacred Magnolia Tattoo Shop highly enough.

It's more than just a tattoo studio; it's a sanctuary where creativity, kindness, and inclusivity...

’ve debated for a long time whether or not to say anything about my experience here, but seeing someone else finally speak up gave me the courage to share mine, even if anonymously.

When I made the appointment, I was treated very rudely. I gave them the benefit of the doubt though, as I can only imagine what tattoo artists have to put up with daily. When the day of the appointment came, they were still rude and tiny rushed me in and out the door as she was running behind on her appointments. My tattoo was so overworked that the healing process was unusually rough compared to any others I’ve had.

The worst part is, my friend had gone to them as well, and had a very similar experience. But I wrote it off. Tiny also was badmouthing other artists and clients during my session as well. I read her reply to the previous review, stating “this is not the service we wish to provide” yet, it IS the service you provide. I should have listened to my friend and avoided this place like the plague. I don’t even want my money back at this point, just to spread the word.

This isn’t how someone who claims to be “the best in SC” should carry themselves.This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable, especially in an industry built on trust and permanent art. Clients deserve respect and care. I hope the shop takes a serious look at how they treat people, because tattoos should be an experience you're proud of, not...
