Bananafish Tattoo Parlour

Bananafish Tattoo Parlour is a tattoo studio with four artists who work on custom designs, developed with clients in a consultation before the session. The shop has been serving the Kentuckiana area for about ten years and describes its approach as safe, sterile and inclusive, with a focus on a comfortable setting for people getting their first piece or their fortieth.

Tattoos and consultations are by appointment, and walk-ins are only taken occasionally, so calling ahead is the practical route. Payment for sessions is cash only, with deposits accepted in cash or through Venmo, and new clients receive a waiver by email the night before their appointment that must be completed before they are tattooed. Clients are asked to bring two forms of ID and are limited to one guest per session. The studio is at 421 State St in New Albany, Indiana, and is owned by a woman with an all-female artist team.
