I spent absolutely forever researching shops to get my first tattoo. Combing the internet far and wide, I was resigned to the fact that most of the artists I really liked were in Europe or Australia. Luckily I travel a bit for work, so I hadnt completely given up hope. Then I stumbled on Skinny Buddhas facebook page. Looking through their portfolio I was pretty amazed that these folks had a shop basically in my back yard. After stopping by for a (super) quick consultation with Nate and throwing down a tiny deposit my first tattoo was in the works. I was a bit nervous, given how short our consultation was about the final tattoo design. I had spent countless hours combing the internet looking for reference art. Its not like I had a crazy design in mind, a couple of roses and a heart with a banner, but I just never found anything online I was in love with. When I showed up to my appointment, Nate completely nailed the idea. His drawing, after a 5 minute chat with me, was exactly what I had envisioned. The actual tattoo process was as smooth as can be. Ive stopped in a few shops, but Ive never felt as at ease and welcome as I have at Skinny Buddha. Nate did a great job with the tattoo and making me feel comfortable, even though hes a man of few words. Ive already referred a couple of friends to Skinny Buddha and their work has turned out just as solid. If any of these artists were in a bigger city theyd probably be more well known, and certainly be charging higher rates. For now Im glad I found them, and that theyre basically in my backyard so I can get amazing affordable work done whenever I finally get around to figuring out how I want to finish a sleeve.

The owner, Little Lisa, is an old soul and amazing artist who has been tattooing for many years. She will take your ideas and turn them into an inspiring and breathtaking work of art. She does the most colorful, bright with detail, amazing work I have seen in the Midwest (including work I have seen at conventions). Her artwork jumped out of the page at me when I went in to look for an artist for my first tattoo. It is creative, bright, beautiful and will listen to anything you would like to change or add. Needless to say, many tattoos later, I still return to Little Lisa for the guarantee of high quality ink she consistently produces. If you are looking for an artist who can break the boundaries of many genres of artwork, this is the girl for you. Everyone will stop to compliment the amazing artwork she will leave on your body. Color, black/white, traditional, neo-traditional, watercolor... she has so much talent. This girl knows how to make you beautiful!!! All the other artists also come highly recommended by me personally!!! Very happy with their work and professionalism!

Pretty unhappy with my tattoo I got done here. Before tattoo- told the guy that the drawing was too big, he seemed annoyed but fixed it. Came back a couple minutes later with a small chunk taken off. It was still too big for me but I didnt want to say anything because he was already irritated. During tattoo- he had bad customer service and couldnt keep a conversation.. lets just say it was an awkward four hours laying on his table with my boobs out without conversation. After- everyone asks me "what is it?" To be honest, I dont know. The line work is very uneven(uneven thickness and lines are not straight). Also, there is a random line not even on the tattoo. The drawing of the roses is purely done. The guy told me it would look better once he finished it, but I dont want to go back to him to finish it. I feel like he ruined it already, and there is no saving it. Pics- the top picture is what I showed him, but I told him I wanted it much less detailed and smaller. The bottom pic is what he did.

It really depends on who you go to. I would recommend any of the artists except Lisa due to professionalism. She frequently cancels appointments, both among my acquaintances, as well as in my experiences. She rarely has drawings ready, and is always late-to the point where it interferes with others schedules. These cancelations are always last minute too, and she rarely accommodates her customers. It really makes you feel as though your time isnt valuable, and from a customer standpoint, thats enough to make me go elsewhere. The rest of the staff, however, is very professional and follows through with their schedule and appointments. They all have very different styles that accommodate their customers, and have incredible talent. All in all, the rest of the artists are great, I just cant justify Lisas disregard for her customers time and money for her work.

went to get an old tattoo recolored. i asked for no modifications and only update the color. my wings had a lot of fade to them and maybe this guy wasnt good with fade but he added white (which i did not want). he also added lines to make things symmetrical (also did not want). There were times where he was pushing so hard that the gun was stalling and now you can feel its raised up...even his coworker across from us was looking up at us when this would happen. Maybe its not a bad place if you are getting brand new ink, but my experience was not good and because of this i wont even go back there for anything new. My sister had a bad cover up from there also...

Joseph did such an amazing job on my husbands tattoo. He was great to work with and the shop was professional, clean, and the work healed perfectly. Joe took such pride and care into his art. My husband got a tattoo of Jesus carrying the cross. That image is so near and dear to his heart. Joe took it so seriously and showed true understanding of what this image meant to him. He knew it was more than a tattoo, it was a proclamation of faith. And he treated it that way. The tattoo turned out so incredible. No blurring at all. The detail is sharp. Quality work. He was awesome to talk to and so experienced. We will definitely be back to see him!!!

Skinny Buddha is one of the most professional tattoo shops Ive been to.Stumbled onto the reviews for Skinny Buddha and saw Hater McHatersons negative review. Just thought I would clear up any confusion. I have dealt with everyone that works there on some level and they are all very courteous, helpful, and willing to work with you to get the most out of your experience there. Not sure if the other reviewer was expecting a foot massage and a pat on the head, but I can assure you whatever problem the negative reviewer had, was his own. Great place! I tell everyone!

Nate saved me! I had a simple line drawing that another artist from another shop botched. Superficial lines in some spots, extra deep lines in others, pretty bad blowout and blurriness. It literally looked like a prison tattoo, yet it was performed in a reputable shop. Anyway, Nate re-outlined and added strategic color placement and now, my tattoo is beautiful! He absolutely rescued the design and helped me avoid a huge dark cover-up. THANK YOU!!!!

When I go in to Skinny Buddha everyone has been very friendly and welcoming. I get my work done by Joe after another shop cancelled on me 5 time, twice in 1 week. Joe has a great eye on what needed to be done and every time I leave the tattoo comes more to life. He has amazing skills. Never will I go to another shop again.
