Give mom one more reason to get worried. Get yourself a tattoo.. Where It's At
Located along a dumpy strip of Dale Mabry, Mean Machine may not look like much from outside, but step inside and radically change your perception. The neon signs, flames and cartoon illustrations out front make this look like a biker haunt, but in truth, everyone from rave kids to rednecks patronizes this joint--thanks to its stellar (and well-deserved) reputation for downright amazing illustration and piercing.

The Vibe
Step inside, gawk at the walls covered in illustrations and check out the body jewelry. If you're too wimpy to get anything done and just came to hold your friend's hand, you can chill on the couch or funky purple velvet chairs and peruse some tattoo rags while you wait.

Staff Attitude
Whether you're covered in tattoos like the Illustrated Man, a coed getting your boyfriend's name on your butt (bad idea), or a straight-laced thirtysomething getting a navel ring, you'll get treated with the same expertise and professionalism. And just think, once it's all done, you'll be able to say, "Yeah. I'm a mean machine now." How cool would that be.
