Amazing place to get some artistry on your skin. People are super friendly and will work with you to make you happy. Had several appointments here, and always left astounded with the quality of work. Be ready for a commensurate price tag, too, though, only fair.

I just got my second piece done by Chris. The store has a great atmosphere and everyone on has been friendly and helpful. Chris is an amazing artist and a cool guy to spend time with, which is important if you are going to spend a couple hours being tattooed. You guys have made me a loyal customer and when people ask I will make sure to tell them where to go. Thanks for the art.

On time, fast work, good conversation and a great price. Took about three hours to get this done including sketching and making the print for the overlay and paperwork, about two hours to do the actual tattoo and it came out beautiful. If you want a good tattoo, this is the place!

Shane did my tattoo and I absolutely love it! I had been mulling over which shop/artist to go to for a while and Im glad it worked out that I could go to him because I already cant wait for my next tat. The shop is very clean, and everyone is super professional and welcoming. Highly recommend Broken Lantern!

I have been to Broken Lantern for my last 5 tattoos...small text pieces as well as custom designed pieces. I’ve used several different artists and have been happy with all of them. I love the vibe of the studio and Cameron at the front desk is always a friendly and familiar face that makes me feel very welcomed. I will continue to come here for future tats and always refer my friends as well!

I’ve received 2 tattoos from Broken Lantern so far. Both times the result has exceeded my expectations, and I will be back for my third. The communication with Cameron is top notch and very professional. Glenn’s line work and artistry is unmatched. Both him and Cameron worked with me on the design and concept and didn’t settle until I was satisfied. The atmosphere is great and you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door. They make their best effort to make sure you leave there satisfied. 10/10 would recommend Glenn or any other artist from that shop. I don’t think you could go wrong in either direction.

Great experience again... Some of the best tattoo artists in town...

I have gotten so many compliments on my tattoo which is just a bonus as I absolutely love it! Cat did an amazing job! She is not just a talented tattooist but an amazing artist. The shop is professional, clean and full of fun energy. The whole experience was top notch! Thank you Broken Lantern!

Awesome experience. Very good customer service. Best tattoo place in Charleston. Weve been to so many.

First off I just wanna give a big thanks to my artist Chris he did an awesome job with my cover-up I couldnt ask for a better one I walked in service was courteous and polite I showed them my ideas on what I want and they helped me pick what would work the best to cover and Chris put his on little twist to the tattoo to make it a one of a kind and like I said great job and the price was great I didnt feel robbed in anyway thank you guys so much and you will definitely be hearing from me again

Visiting Charleston for the weekend with sister & her friend & got fantastic tattoos within minutes of walking in; not to mention they had a few appointments ahead of us! They got us in & out! Chris, Clipper Chris Jones & Constance are Awesome.We totally enjoyed our visit.Thanks Broken Lantern Crew, you all have a great shop!

My boyfriend and I called for a same day tattoo of handwriting. They were able to squeeze us in. Cam at the front desk was extremely friendly and helpful, and Angelo who did our tattoos was awesome and does great work. Next time we’re in the Charleston area we will definitely be comi back!

The whole experience from consultation to tattoo was absolutely amazing! Cam greeted me and got my idea. I called back several months later because I saved up the money. He knew exactly who I was and what I wanted to do. We made the appointment. True artistry is on display at Broken Lantern! I will be back! Go see Chris! He took my idea, made it better, and more personal!

Absolutely love Broken lantern. So friendly and welcoming. And helpful with my ideas and with my budget. I love Clipper Chris! I am defiently a repeat customer.

Love Broken Lantern! Everyone is very accommodating. Angelo did an amazing job with my new piece. We highly recommend checking them out. Definately our only shop we will go to!

Great experience. The artist made me feel comfortable even after I asked a million questions. Great work. Will definitely go back!

My daughter and I went last night for an appt with Cat. All I can say is THANK YOU for the amazing job! They are perfect! This was on our bucket list and we couldnt be happier with the work!! We will forever be grateful for the experience and professionalism of The Broken Lantern. You guys ROCK!!!

Great service. Extremely helpful.

I visited Broken Lantern on 4/23/2021 for a custom tattoo by Cat. She was very professional and did a fantastic job. She listened to my concerns about having sensitive skin and treated me with exceptional care. I live in Arizona, but will definitely go back when I visit Charleston. Thanks, Cat!!

Thanks 😊 Shane, you did an AMAZING job! I liked that you realized on my arm; for my first tattoo at 50 yrs old, you was so professional!I recommend definitely this guy so cool 😎

Fantastic work, excellent customer service! We will be back!

My husband and I were visiting Charleston and wanted to get tattooed while we were there. After visiting 4 other shops (and Broken Lantern was our last stop) we were hooked. From the front desk service to the tattoo artist, we walked out very happy with everything! We are from Georgia and will driving back to Charleston to let Broken Lantern do all of our future work! I do suggest calling and making an appointment (you can send your ideas to them via email and they will have everything ready to go when you arrive) as they stay very busy (and for a good reason!)

Scheduled the appoint in November for the end of December. Two days before the appointment, they call and cancel on me. I called for a week after to reschedule, no one ever called me back. Also tried to email, still No answer. I had to move after the the first of the year. $60 deposit wasted. What a rip off. Not good business practices.*** Update after the owner tried to blame me on them never contacting me & blaming it on COVID. I attempted to get my deposit back via my credit card company to no avail. If you actually cared about the customer, that card charge investigation should have triggered this place to reach out to me & find out why I am asking for a refund. NOTHING... NADA... Crickets. You had my number, you had my email and you decided to keep my money instead of taking 5 min to reach out to me about rescheduling or a refund. That says everything I need to know about this place. You are providing a service, except in my case, you didnt. What you did instead was keep my $ anyway. So please, do not waste your time with this place. Total Rip Off.

Broken Lantern is a very professional shop with clean artists (ie. drug/alcohol free). Great customer service by Cameron at the front desk, while my artist Shane is very experienced and personable... hes easy to talk with while hes drawing. Shane and I worked for multiple hours just planning out how I wanted my tattoo to look before he even started slinging ink.

There is a reason why this studio is an award winner. Great artists. Cool ambiance Ward gave me exactly what I wanted. This will be my go-to studio for all future work.

I had an very ugly mistake covered up and transformed into an amazing floral tattoo by Shane, I’ll be forever grateful he did a fantastic job! Everybody was very sweet ♥️If you’re thinking about getting one done you should definitely go there!Thank you again!!!

I was super impressed. Cameron at the front desk is welcoming and friendly. Russell did my tattoo and was great. We talked the whole time, and he took his time to do great work. Its a fun, upbeat environment with awesome people. Ill be back for sure.

Looks like their work is really good. I drove over 45 minutes to make an appointment but wasnt told I need a card deposit AND cash deposit, which I didnt have on me so that was disappointing. (I dont carry cash usually) Really booked out too. Only big complaint I would have is I was treated like my tattoo didnt matter, I was just another person walking in. I want to find an artist who at least acts like they care and give me a great tattoo (especially for how high this place charges).

Chris did an amazing job on my tattoo, thank you so much!!!

Huge shout out to the whole crew there! Especially my tattoo artist Glenn Collins! The place has a great ambiance and energy to it. The guy at the front was very helpful and professional. Glenn made the whole experience very well worth it. By far the best one I’ve had in a tattoo shop. Definitely can’t wait to go back and get another one from Broken Lantern Tattoo! Thank you guys and gal for the awesome experience!

If you have a chance to or know you want a tattoo I would suggest going to Broken Lantern.I am so glad that I chose Broken Lantern for my first tattoo! I came in about a week or two prior and we just talked about the design I wanted (which at the time was too small to last). They were very honest about what is a good tattoo idea with tips on size placement and design that really made my tattoo fill out.I am in love with the work that Kat did and really grateful for her patience and experience. While getting tattooed she talked me through the needles and ink and what she was going to do, and even though I thought I wasnt nervous it made getting the tattoo a lot easier. It was also less than I expected which was a nice surprise.I would 100% suggest going even for just a consultation if you want a really personalized and quality experience

We came in just before closing and they took us even though it was late and they have families to get home to. Great service!! Great tattoos!!

Broken Lantern is a fantastic place with some of the most talented tattoo artists in the Charleston area and the state. Russell, who has been tattooing me for some time now, has a stellar personality and always is energetic and respectful. Cameron, who manages the front desk, has been a tremendous help with getting me scheduled and is also very energetic and respectful. If you see negative reviews of Broken Lantern, disregard them because they are false. Everyone at this shop loves what they do. Broken Lantern represents how a tattoo parlor should operate. Plus, they are all sexy beasts, especially Russell.

I called to inquire about any changes that may have been put in place since last year and I was given very clear instructions on what needed to be done prior to coming in for a consultation as well as the actual tattoo appointment. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The service was great and neat.

Great tattoo shop! My sister and I both wanted to get tattooed and really enjoyed our experience at Broken Lantern. Cameron was so helpful with setting up our appointment and making sure our tattoos were what we wanted. I was tattooed by Russell and he was very professional and my tattoo barely hurt at all. My sister was tattooed by Ward who did an awesome job on her snake tattoo. They were very aware of Covid precautions but didnt let that stop them from being friendly and personable. Highly recommend getting your tattoo done here if youre in the Charleston area.

Really cool tattoo shop! The environment is cozy and welcoming, yet super badass. My best friend and I just got tattooed by Chris Jones and we had the best time. Chris was so awesome and provided a welcoming and amazing experience. Im bummed our tattoos only took 15 min each! I wish I had more time to chat with Chris. Thanks again for an amazing experience. Will be back!

Walked in explained what I was looking for, they gave numerous ideas and suggestions, I will be booking my appointment in the near future.

Awesome experienceEveryone was super friendly & kept us laughing

I went for my first tattoo and had the most amazing artist. These people are incredibly nice and talented. I will definitely be back for more. I recommend to stop by and get some new ink when your in town.

They were awesome. I’m incredibly happy with my tattoo. I won’t be going anywhere else now!

By far the BEST Tattoo Studio in SC! Amazing artists, clean studio and very reasonable regarding cost.

I had come in for a cover up of a tattoo and an experience that just wasnt ideal or what I envisioned and Broken Lantern did the absolute best job taking care of me and helping me figure out a plan for the cover up. Cameron was incredibly helpful with helping me figure out designs that would work and Shane was phenomenal with sketching up exactly what I had hoped for. He took the time to really understand what I wanted and came up with the perfect design! Shane was also super easy to talk to and was able to distract my wimpy self from the pain with his awesome taste in music. Broken Lantern did everything possible to help my situation and make me incredibly happy. Its so evident that Cameron and Shane (and Im sure the rest of the crew!) want you to have the best experience possible and they care about your ink as much as you do. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely be going back!

My daughter and I had planned for months to get matching tattoos. This was our first tattoo, so we where a little concerned about the whole process. I did a lot research and Broken Lantern Tattoo popped up . Went to the shop and scheduled an appointment for the next day. We had the pleasure of meeting Shane . He was amazing and very professional. I would highly recommend Broken Lantern. 5 star service . I will definitely be back

Workers were super nice and helpful! Tattoo came out better than perfect

My sisters and I went to this shop to get each other’s initials in morse code. That’s lines and dots. As in •-•• and such. The tattoos were about 2 inches. I was told that because straight lines and circles are more difficult it would cost more. I don’t mind paying more for difficult jobs as long as the work is good quality. Each tattoo took about 15 minutes. When mine was finished I asked the tattoo artist Russell if my dots looked like they were all the same size. I didn’t think they looked even. He told me one was just swollen. Not only are my dots uneven sizes, but they’re not even proper circles and my lines are nowhere near straight. Both of my sisters have the same issues with their tattoos. If a shop or artist is going to charge more because straight lines and circles require more time and concentration then take more time and use more concentration, because now we all have to pay more to get our tattoos fixed elsewhere (because I’m not trusting this shop again) after paying $100 a piece plus tip because I trusted that my tattoo was just swollen and it would look better later. I don’t want to see a response to this review saying there’s no record of me and my sisters being there just because I don’t have my full name on my google account. We were there. The manager is Cameron there’s a cardboard cutout of him when you walk in. The “artist” was Russell, and I DON’T recommend anyone that wants a quality tattoo go there. Also, I have plenty of tattoos to compare it to. This wasn’t my first experience. Every response to a negative review has an excuse as to why the tattoo looks bad. This response I just got is that it hasn’t healed properly and that I’m rude. This is PERMANENT and reviews are supposed to be honest. If a circle isn’t a circle that’s just a fact. It has nothing to do with whether or not the tattoo has healed yet. I have a half sleeve among many other tattoos so I know how the healing process works. Unfortunately I’m not able to respond to the “owners response” so I edited my review instead. Keep using different excuses to justify the fact that our tattoos were overpriced, rushed, and came out poorly. I know I’m not wrong here. I’m also not rude. What’s rude over charging for bad quality work.

Chris tattooed my boyfriend he did a AWESOME job! Professional and good quality of work! Definitely will go back!

After working with a few other local shops and being less than thrilled with their work, I came across Broken Lantern and was immediately blown away by the completed pieces that I saw. I dropped by and chatted with Cameron about some of my ideas. He immediately set me up with Angelo, who worked with me to talk through some concepts and come up with a piece that exceeded my expectations. I plan to come back and continue work on finishing out my sleeve.

My husband and I had an absolutely incredible experience here. We went in on Tuesday and made an appointment for Friday of the same week. I got a small piece on my ankle and my husband got a large tree on his tricep/shoulder area. Our artist was Chris, and not only was he super professional, he was very charismatic and kept the whole vibe of the appointment very light and friendly. Chris even ordered a pizza for lunch and gave my husband and me a slice of it! This was my first tattoo and it looks amazing, and while I was nervous, it was a super comfortable experience. Also, I think it is important to note that no one in the shop will make you feel bad about the tattoo you are choosing, even if it isn’t the most bold and creative piece. The shop has an eclectic look, but everyone there is very nice and nothing is intimidating in the slightest. I highly recommend this shop because the work is phenomenal, artists are talented, and the whole experience is exceptional.

Chris Jones at Broken Lantern Tattoo is who did my succulent flower tattoo this evening. I’m so pleased with how it turned out and am very thankful! Cameron helped me pick the piece out and I’m so in love with it! This is an amazing place with a great atmosphere! Get all of your ink needs completed here!! #Thankful

Best tattoo shop in the Lowcounty, if not the east coast. Ive been collecting art/ink/pieces for 20 years all over the U.S and I really wanted a Glenn Collins piece. Its my favorite tattoo to date and it was on a cover up too. Friendly staff, very accommodating, clean facilities , and a good vibe all around in the shop. Highly recommend.

I went in for some reworking of a couple old tattoos and the guys there were great. It’s a very chill environment with some top quality artists. I’ll be back for sure.

My first tattoo ever and I had a awesome experience! Shane was my tattoo artist and he did an amazing job. I can’t thank him enough. All the staff was very helpful walking me through the process and at the end I love the workmanship of my tattoo. Highly recommended to all who read this! This is a pic half way through.

If I could do more than just 5 stars I would. I had an entire day booked with Chris and I got 2 INCREDIBLE tattoos. One of which was a cover up! Everyone at the shop was super friendly and I recommend Broken Lantern to anyone who asks!

Daughter loves her tattoo.

My tattoo artist was Chris and he was amazing!! Very clean work. Plus fastest tattoo artist Ive ever had!! Very great work.

Very clean and friendly staff. My husband’s tattoos turned out great!

The Broken Lantern Tattoo shop is the best! The atmosphere is super chill and their artists are top notch. Just left my appointment and I am more than satisfied with Chris Jones work! I will never go anywhere else! I have recommended a friend there and her new ink is flawless as well!

Got my first tattoo at Broken Lantern yesterday and it was amazing! Jeremy was my tattoo artist and I am VERY pleased with the way it turned out! The environment felt welcoming, everyone was very nice and extremely helpful. Will definitely be back for my next tattoo!

The best place to go to get a tattoo,very professional, friendly, and reasonably priced. I will recommend broken lantern to anyone who wants a tattoo. Thanks again chris for a great job

This place has the coolest vibe in Charleston. Everyone is super cool and welcoming! Chris is amazing and puts a lot of thought and time into his art and does a hell of a good job :) thanks guys for the awesome experience

Good, fun environment that was very sanitary and professional. The people where welcoming and worked well with each other, something all business need.

Had a tattoo done by Chris awesome job and very good artist would definitely recommend this shop to anyone. Very friendly and awesome customer service

Amazing tattoo shop. Everyone was so nice, it was super clean, and such a good environment. I got my first tattoo done and it couldnt have been better. Russell was awesome. Thanks guys!!

Ive gotten three of my tattoos here and all of them have been amazing. Chris did a fantastic job on my most recent leg piece!

Got some work done by Chris, and i would highly recommend him to everybody. Very respectful, clean, and willing to change things so that you’re 100% happy with the results. His line work is outstanding, and his way of color blending is amazing. He’s very friendly and personable which makes the time fly by. He breaks down the process of aftercare, and makes sure you leave happy and with all your questions answered.

Broken Lantern has really good reviews and is nominated to be the best tattoo shop in Charleston. I assumed all the artist working here would be able to do good line work but unfortunately, I was wrong. I requested a relatively simple minimalistic tattoo that included three bold straight lines and the finished piece came out looking wavy and slightly curved. My artist was super nice and seemed like they would be a cool person to hang out with but the quality of the work I received was disappointing. I spent just over $100 on this tattoo and now I have to go spend more money to attempt to get it fixed. If your tattoo requires straight lines I would not recommend going to Broken Lantern Tattoo.

Got my first tattoo here by Chris. He and the rest of the staff were extremely welcoming and informative about all steps of the process. I felt at home the entire time. The atmosphere there is laid back but at the same time very professional. Im extremely happy with the results. The lines are super crisp and its overall such a good first tattoo. Thanks, guys!

Glenn did an amazing job today with a wolf tattoo on my chest. He is awesome and I definitely won’t go anywhere else. He also did a grizzly bear on my side a few months ago and they are so good they look real. They both have personalities to them. He does a great job with fine lines and shading and both of the tattoos covered up older tattoos and you can’t tell at all. Thanks man!

If you are in Charleston looking to get your first tattoo, don’t come here.My experience at this tattoo shop was overall good, however I was extremely displeased with the service I got from Constance. At first, I was greeted with friendly and knowledgeable people. Upon meeting my tattoo artist, that experience changed. This was my first tattoo and I was a little bit nervous, because of this I received eye rolls, and a nasty attitude the entire time.Along with this, she created the design without consulting me and I happened to look over and see that it was 10 times bigger than how I wanted it. After expressing my concern with the size she huffed and puffed at this minor unconvinced (mind you it was the outline of a heart).

I met Glenn this past weekend at a tattoo convention in Fayetteville. With over 300 artists in the room I felt very comfortable with Glenn right away. He did a great job and I was very happy with the result and quality. I felt lucky to have chosen him as my artist at the convention.

Absolutely freaking amazing . Clipper Chris did a full sternum tattoo on me. Had a incredibly light hand and was a master with his line work. Seriously impressive work and an amazing amount of skill to make a idea look so perfect. His traditional is great. I could not be happier. Super clean space, very organized and professional. Best was his willing to get input from the other artists for input to make sure it looked its best.

I recently visited broken lantern in search of my first tattoo in memorial of a lost loved one.I went to a different parlor in town and just didn’t feel the love or interest.As soon as I walked in the door I was immediately greeted and the search was on.Within 15 minutes my brother and I had picked out the tattoos that just imagined.It was a honor to have Chris help my brother and I get through this.Not only did he find interest in the Tattoos we wanted, the other artist in the shop found them meaningful as well. What a great place. I will be going back in the future.Thanks for the help guys!Chris thank you for your service sir 🇺🇸

I was on a cross country road trip and one thing that I had planned on doing was fixing and finishing a half sleeve that had been started by another artist a year and a half ago. I had plans on staying in Charleston for a few days to hopefully do so....I had been doing research and came across The Broken Lantern. It was easy to find and very close to where I was staying. From the moment I walked in I saw how clean the shop was and immediately got greeted by Glenn. He was very friendly and professional. I explained my situation with my sleeve and some of my general thoughts on how to complete it. I was able to get in THAT afternoon! I was super excited. With a general description I let Glenn create an AMAZING and colorful piece of art. Over a 2 day period Glenn Collins created a completely unique and BEAUTIFUL creation that I am SUPER happy with! I get TONS of compliments on it. Thanks for bringing me up to WARRIOR STATUS Glenn motherf@*king Collins!! My time there was an awesome memory for my adventure and I shall return!

I didnt end up getting work the day I went in, however the staff was very friendly, the shop was nice and clean, and they def had their act together, as a good tattoo shop should. Would have gotten work done, but there is always a wait for a good artist, and I was only in town for a few days. Great shop!!

Just got a tattoo there yesterday. Great artist and fair prices

Great people excellent work and overall they make you feel at home not some business they run

Always a great experience. Very friendly and talented!

Anywhere but here. They were less than impressed to have me as a customer. I picked out a simple little X, that would become a work in progress. This X is about the size of a quarter and only took about 15 minutes. The artwork is ok but the price was a ripoff. They charged me $150. I wish I had never went there. Save your money and find ANY other shop. They dont care about anything but the money. Customers arent important.

I chose Broken Lantern for my first time getting a tattoo in the area and they did an awesome job! Chris Jones did mine and he did amazing! Everyone was very nice and took the time to make sure I was getting what I wanted.

11/10 recommend broken lantern to anyone! I absolutely love it, and can’t see myself going anywhere else to get a tattoo. They are super professional and take pride in their work.

For the last several months Ive been coming to Broken Lantern Tattoo and getting work done by Kat. Every time is a great experience. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, professional and accommodating. Scheduling is easy and I am always comfortable while Im here.

First of all, I would like to say this place is awesome!! I recommend them to anyone that wants to get a tattoo. My friends decided to get friendship tattoos and saw the great reviews on Broken Lantern. We simply walked in and were told it would be 15 min. Just like that. The staff was very welcoming and awesome. Cameron helped us get started and entertained us while we waited before and during each others tattoos. Shane did an amazing job with our tattoos. He was very patient with our friend getting her first tattoo. This place is great and I will definitely will be getting my next tattoo with them.

Had a great experience with them. They completely understood anytime I had to push the tattoo back due to situations and never rude. When the tattoo came the artist, chris Jones, had great suggestions on what to do and kept everything we wanted to do involved with the tattoo. It was professional yet friendly and comfortable environment. The tattoo looks great and it honestly was the best first tattoo experience I could imagine.

The staff is friendly from the time you walk in. Tattoo areas are alway clean. Everyone is very professional. Glen the owner runs a great shop. The tats Ive gotten there are absolutely awesome. The artist know their trade very well. Very creative and flexible to your needs. They make you feel comfortable and not intimidated. Over all awesome experience! Absolutely the only shop Ill get inked again!😎

Usually I am not the one to write reviews but I really had a great experience, with Broken Lantern and their team! The counter person (Cameron I think?) was more than helpful talking through my idea and getting something designed up. From there we looked at availability and found a time later that day they could squeeze me in! My tattoo artist Kat was stellar, not only was she a great artist but a lot of fun to be around. Start to finish I enjoyed my time at the shop and will be back in the near future.

This was the best tattoo experience I have ever had. I am not from the area but like to get a tattoo everywhere I go, after reading the reviews I knew I wanted to give this shop a try. I called to see if they took walk-ins and was informed they do 7 days a week on a first come first served basis. When I walked through the door I was immediately greeted by Cameron. He was very patient as we talked through my ideas and collaborated to make an image that best translated to a tattoo. Cameron was very knowledgeable about the process of tattooing and thoroughly explained everything to me. Once we sized up the piece he was able to give me a price quote before I was obligated to do anything, I never once felt pressured. We went through the artist portfolios and I was very impressed with the caliber of talent at this shop. Honestly I dont think you could go wrong with any of them. While they could not get me in immediately I was able to schedule an appointment for later that day, with Glenn. I was very fortunate as I found out later that he was voted the best tattoo artist in Charleston and can be booked out pretty far. He took the design that me and Cameron had talked about it and really made it his own. Glenn was so friendly during the entire process and made for great conversation. Most importantly the tattoo came out absolutely amazing. The attention to detail and execution where top notch. Clean environment, clean work, fair pricing. I will forever recommend this shop to anyone that asks, and will make it a point to stop by whenever I am back in town. Thank you so much Broken Lantern!

Was only in town for a bachelorette weekend and looked these guys up for some quick pieces. The staff was so friendly and really spent their time and effort into making my ideas turn out perfect. Chris was my tattoo artist and he was AMAZING! If I’m ever back in the area I will for sure visit these guys again!!

Had an amazing experience! Staff and artists are so welcoming and wonderful people to be around! Love the whole set up! Walked in and Glenn did a piece for me on my arm. I had an idea and we collaborated. He came up with great symbolism beyond what I brought to the table. Loved every minute! Highly recommend and I will be back asap getting another!! 💜🌈❤️🤘🏼

In town for the weekend stopped by on a whim and had a great experience! My artist was Chris he’s the best! Great customer service, great work! Love my tattoo

Cameron helped pick my tattoo & Chris did it perfectly, better than I envisioned!! Thank you guys SO MUCH for the great experience! :) 10/10 would return for more

Chris was absolutely amazing! The whole experience for my daughter Stephanies first tattoo for her birthday was amazing. Everyone was so nice. Treated us so kind and respectfully. I will most definitely go back when Im in the area!

Chris did a tattoo in memory of my dad and I just love it

Chris did an amazing job! This was my first tattoo so I was a little nervous. He made it easy to be relaxed. Will definitely be coming back for more tattoos from him!

Went to Chris for matching tattoos with my siblings and he did an amazing job! He was super friendly and completely open to all our different requests. He was patient with placement changes and wanted to make sure it was exactly where we wanted before he started. Not my first tattoo so I kind of knew what to expect but it was the first for one of my sisters and Chris explained every step of the way and answered all the questions she had. We got a geometric design and his line work was spot on.If youre looking to get work done Id highly suggest going to Chris!

I had went to another parlor and gotten quoted two different prices for the same tattoo, so I started looking at reviews for other parlors in the area and found Broken Lantern. Very good reviews, so I went there to check it out. They are all very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and fair with their rates. I ended up getting two tattoos, one from Shane and one from Chris and they are both perfect! Anoyone who is looking for a tattoo in the area should go there!

I love this place. The artist was amazing. They really took the time to find exactly what I wanted

Good location with easy parking access. Everyone here does great work and if youre not the one getting inked the waiting area is very nice. They have comfortable seating and even a table top arcade.

After so many amazing experiences I have had with Glenn at Broken Lantern tattoo, I decided that I would not go anywhere else. However, at a moment of weakness I allowed myself to be tattooed by someone at a “tattoo party” for my friend’s birthday. I would like to thank Glenn Collins for cleaning up the aftermath. I have definitely learned my lesson!

By far the most professional and fun atmosphere you could ask for while getting a tattoo. Not only is it a great atmosphere but the artists are all extremely cool and great at what they do. Glen is an absolute stud. He’s definitely your best bang for your buck in Charleston. He works quick and always performs. He’s easy to have a conversation with and is guaranteed to impress you. In my personal opinion he should be charging more because of how fast he works and the quality provided with it. I will be going here for the rest of my life. Anyone in the South Carolina area looking to get a tattoo should visit Broken Lantern.

I was visiting Folly Beach and just tried my luck on my way back to Greenville.Got my first walk in tattoo (up until now, walk in never worked for me anywhere , because they were fully booked).Chris did an awesome job! Thanks for being a part of my souvenir that Ill have forever and Im sure at some point it will help me remember where I travelled to 😁.The studio was clean, spacious and had a very comfy waiting area.Thanks again, and Chris: you should really visit Germany 😉
