Ryan "Gir" Ikler

Head artist/Owner

Originally from Indiana, in 2006 Gir moved to Mississippi to practice the art of tattooing. He opened his own shop "Meridian Tattoo" in 2012. Gir has an extraordinary passion for his art. As you can see from the art in the gallery he is not committed to any trend and likes doing any kind of style. Gir prefers working to customer's ideas as it is more satisfying bringing people's ideas to skin. Above everything else Gir is a frood dude who really knows where his towel is!
 

Casey Smith

Casey is a traditionally trained artist from Philadelphia, MS. He has been tattooing for over seven years. He puts his passion and skill into all of his work. Just let him know your idea and when you are ready! ​​

Where are you located?

What are the shop hours?

 

Our hours are 12pm (noon) to 8pm, Monday through Saturday. Appointments only on Sunday.

 

Do you have to have an appointment? Do you take walk-ins?

 

We do work by appointment but we gladly accept walk ins if our schedule allows. If you don’t have an appointment you’re welcome to call ahead to see what the day’s work load is like. If you are seeking larger work, we always suggest making an appointment to allow proper preparation time. We can work off a waiting list each day if our schedule is full. You can leave us your name and number and if someone cancels or we finish an appointment early we can give you a call.

How old do you have to be to get tattooed?

 

In the state of Mississippi you have to be 18 years of age to get tattooed. Valid ID, license, military ID, or passport is required to get tattooed. No, we do not accept parental agreements those underage, you must be 18.

 

How do you price tattoos?

 

We price based on size and detail. We have a shop minimum of $60. Everything starts there and goes up depending on size and detail. We charge hourly rates for larger, extensive work.

 

How does the scheduling process work?

 

 When a customer calls, emails, or stops in, we work with them individually to understand their needs. While we strive to work in an efficient manner, we aren’t trying to rush through things for the sake of getting more customers in. Our goal is to provide quality work with a quality experience and we believe that while this takes time, it’s well worth it and delivers the best outcome. We can work smaller ideas in as walk-ins the same day depending on our schedule. On average, our wait time for a tattoo can span anywhere from 3 to 5 days. Please note that if you change your idea at all prior to a scheduled appointment, you must contact us in advance to discuss the changes. Not doing so may result in us rescheduling the appointment.

 

Please continue to read below for information on appointments, deposits, after-care, and other general questions.

 

A non-refundable deposit for an appointment? What's up with that?

 

When making the appointment, we require a $40 to $80 non-refundable deposit to setup and hold the appointment. The deposit comes off the total cost of your tattoo. The price of the deposit depends on the size of the piece you are getting for the scheduled appointment. A lot of work goes into setting up and preparing for an appointment. Taking a deposit gives us security to begin work and gives us more assurance that a client is serious. Deposits are non-refundable! If you can’t make an appointment we require at least 48 hours’ notice by phone or in person, or you will lose the deposit. If you don’t show up, you lose the deposit. If you cancel in advance, you don’t lose the deposit. We will roll the deposit to your new appointment time. We value our time and yours, please give us as much notice as possible when canceling. When a customer has multiple sessions to complete a piece, we will roll the deposit to each appointment and it comes off the last appointment’s cost.

If you are out of town, we accept card over the phone, or online payment through Paypal. 

 

What happens if I miss my appointment?

 

We require at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel and appointment. If notice is not given, or a customer doesn't show, they will lose their deposit.

Do you do cover-ups? can you rework my old tattoo?

 

If it’s possible, yes. we will need to see the existing tattoo, you can email a photo or stop by and let us take a photo and let us know your ideas. We will look it over and let you know what we can or cannot do.

 

Is your ink Vegan friendly?

 

We use Eternal Ink and World Famous Ink , they are both Vegan friendly and cruelty

free!
