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 fairly quickly that he risked becoming artistically stagnant if he wasn’t surrounded with other likeminded tattooers on a daily basis. So after nine months as a private studio, Ian White Tattoos became Safe House Tattoo Studio.
Our Mission
Established in 2012, Safe House Tattoo Studio strives to bring an eclectic group of the best tattoo artists in Nashville, TN, together in hopes to grow in their individual styles and goals, and providing them a safe, encouraging place to express themselves through tattoo art.
That environment then passes down to the client as both a great experience and a great tattoo.
Why “Safe House”
"Safe House" is a reflection of our desire to cultivate a space where artists feel supported and confident in the environment provided for them to create within. Our hope is that the freedom and flexibility they are given to create within passes on to you as an exceptional tattoo.
