Your Story Deserves
Exceptional Artistry
At Merrill Tattoo Studio, we don't just ink skin — we translate your vision into permanent art. Every piece is custom-designed, executed with precision, and crafted in a sterile, welcoming environment built around you.
More Than a Studio —
A Creative Partnership
Merrill Tattoo Studio was founded on a simple belief: your tattoo should be as unique as the person wearing it. We've built our practice around collaboration — you bring the idea, the memory, the emotion, and we bring the expertise to make it permanent.
Located in the heart of Paris, Tennessee, our studio combines the comfort of a small-town environment with the standards of a professional, high-end artistry practice. Every appointment begins with a consultation so we understand exactly what you're looking for before a single needle touches your skin.
Client-First Approach
Every design is tailored to your story, skin tone, and placement
Hygiene First
Sterile equipment, single-use needles, and a clean, professional space
Premium Results
Quality inks and modern techniques for bold, long-lasting work
