Our Story
Safe House Tattoo Studio began in 2012 with the simple goal: To be home for dinner every night. Owner Ian White’s initial intent was to open a private studio, but he soon discovered that he risked becoming artistically stagnant if he wasn’t surrounded with other likeminded tattooers on a daily basis. Hence, Safe House was born.
Safe House Tattoo Studio aims to bring together an eclectic group of talented tattoo artists in Nashville, TN, to grow in their individual styles and goals. Our name reflects a desire to cultivate a space where artists feel supported and confident in the environment provided for them to create within. We hope that the freedom and flexibility we provide to our artists translate into a great experience and an exceptional tattoo for you.
