When you’re coming from Danielsville for a tattoo, the artist matters more than having a shop around the corner. Curly’s gives Madison County clients a place in Athens where good work and real conversation come before attitude.
Danielsville sits northeast of Athens, making the city a natural destination when you want more choices in artists and tattoo styles. At Curly’s, that choice doesn’t come with the gatekeeping that can make tattoo shops feel harder to walk into than they need to be.
Bring us a finished concept, a reference photo, or an idea you haven’t figured out yet. We’ll talk it through, ask questions, and help shape it into a tattoo that works with your placement, style, and what you actually want the piece to say.
For Danielsville clients willing to make the trip for the right artist, that personal approach makes the drive worthwhile.

Some tattoos are built to hit hard from across the room. Others are all about the details.
Curly’s artists work across American Traditional, Black and Gray Realism, bold color, lettering, fine-line work, cover-ups, memorial pieces, florals, and fully custom designs.
American Traditional and Black and Gray are part of our roots, but we’re not interested in forcing every client into one aesthetic. The original vision for Curly’s was a shop capable of taking on whatever tattoo walked through the door.
You bring the idea. We’ll figure out how to make it work on skin.
A good tattoo starts before the machine ever turns on.
Curly’s artists take time to understand what you’re bringing through the door, whether that’s a finished reference, a rough sketch, a meaningful idea, or something you’re still trying to put into words.
Our team works across American Traditional, black-and-gray, fine-line, bold color, lettering, memorial pieces, cover-ups, and custom artwork. Different artists bring different strengths, so you can find someone whose work fits the direction you have in mind.
Check out our artist profiles, explore their work, and find the right fit for your next tattoo.
