Our Story

Hell or High Water Tattoo Shop has been providing tattoos to the Fort Campbell and surrounding areas and building long lasting relationships within the community since 2017. Making a name for yourself in an industry as subjective to creativity as tattooing is always difficult but proved to be the right path for the team here at Hell or High Water Tattoo Shop. Our locally owned and operated shop offers high quality work by our skilled artists and we pride ourselves on the provided customer experience with each and every visit.

Home to some of the best tattoo artists in the area, our shop offers one of a kind artwork to bring our client’s dreams to life. Our team of highly skilled artists includes Jonathan Capen, Marcus Mcquillan, Kevin Tattrie, and David Gramman. Our small team’s high attention to detail along with custom designs and consultations ensures client desires are met leaving them totally satisfied.

We specialize in fresh tattoos with unique designs and tattoo cover-ups. Our artists utilize new equipment to provide elite services and keep up with the industry. Tattooing is an art and with any art comes an ever-changing array of popular methods and styles. We cater to creative wants and truly enjoy bringing your dream designs to life with ink, even if it’s challenging.

Here at Hell or High Water Tattoo Shop, we are the preferred choice for veterans. Inspiration can strike spontaneously which is why walk-ins are always welcome, but to ensure we have availability for your session, we encourage our clients to schedule an appointment or consultation to meet with an artist and draw up potential designs.

Definitely recommend checking them out, I had messaged the fb page asking for a price range on what I was interested in getting & they answered very quickly & got me scheduled I requested Jon due to his pieces I’ve seen he did a really good job, He’s very light handed as well I barley felt it being done Would absolutely go back for any of my future tattoos. 10/10 🖤 Tysm

On 10/2/2026 Tyler Watts had this to say:
I feel like I've already left a review here at one point. But again I'll just jon is the best. Jon is king. Jon has been doing amazing work and slaying every piece he does. We've talked about big ideas in the past and things get in the way(life happens) but here we are again trying to get it done. And he absolutely brings it to the table. With ideas bounced around during my touch up session (image to come) he has given new light to how I'm gonna finally do my sleeve. I highly recommend him. Smart, ink lays so well, he really gets it in and is light handed at the same time. It's like he's been an artists for 1000s of lifetimes. If someone asks me where to go I send them straight to Jon. And the crew there are some of the absolute best people. Always friendly and calm atmosphere. Love going.

Guidance For Every Tattoo

Healing Tips

Proper aftercare helps your tattoo heal correctly and keeps the artwork looking vibrant.

Wash your tattoo gently with fragrance-free soap to remove excess plasma and bacteria.
Applying too much ointment can suffocate the skin and slow healing.
Peeling and itching are normal parts of the healing process and should not be picked or scratched.
Swimming pools, lakes, hot tubs, and soaking baths should be avoided during healing.
Daily sunscreen use helps prevent fading and preserves the clarity of your tattoo.

Design Inspiration

Choosing the right tattoo starts with understanding what will look great today and years from now.

Larger designs typically hold fine details better over time than very small, intricate tattoos.
Black and gray tattoos often age more subtly, while color tattoos may require occasional touch-ups.
Meaningful designs tied to personal experiences often remain favorites long after trends change.
Placement and body movement can affect how certain designs appear as you age.
An artist can modify reference photos to create a one-of-a-kind piece rather than copying existing artwork.

Appointment Prep

Set yourself up for a comfortable and successful tattoo session.

Eating a meal before your appointment helps maintain energy during longer sessions.
Staying hydrated can improve skin condition and support the tattooing process.
Comfortable clothing makes it easier to access the tattoo area without irritation.
Avoid excessive alcohol before your appointment since it may increase bleeding.
Bringing reference images helps your artist better understand your vision and expectations.
