Awesome place!!! Went in wanting an industrial piercing. They brought out the piercer and he took a look at my ear and told me the anatomy of my ear was not right for that sort of piercing. He even drew me a picture to better explain why that wouldnt work for me. Then took the time to show me pictures of different piercings I could get that would better fit my ear. When I finally decided to get a conch piercing he took me back prepped me and walked me through the whole process and made sure we were both on the same page. Absolutely loved my experience there!! Very clean and comfortable environment. Will not be going anywhere else to get any other tattoos or piercings but Inkwell!!

Pretty rude staff when I went in to get my tattoo done. I sent in an email about the situation that happened and got a response back basically saying the girl working the counter was rude because they were busy and she was overwhelmed. She told me that she thinks the "positive" that came out of the situation was that I was able to go somewhere else and get my tattoos because they "probably wouldnt have had time to get to me anyways" Ive seen some good work come from this shop but they obviously dont care about their customers and they way they are treated so hopefully if you choose to go to this shop you wont have any problems because they wont care to help you afterwards.

It has been several years since my last visit to the Inkwell. I was happy to recognize familiar faces when I walked into the clean shop. I was greeted and helped right away. The guys were all friendly . Donny was my artist and he did an amazing job. Donny was very polite. When I was done he gave me and card with the instructions on how to care for my new tattoo and told me if I had any questions or problems to call him! This is GREAT customer service!!! I would highly recommend the Inkwell. I will be back if I decide to get more. I have 4 and all from the Inkwell. Just cant go anywhere else!

This place was on point! From the helpful staff to the tattoos themselves. Super comfortable environment and so modernized . Went in looking for a small tricep piece. Nothing too fancy. I got Brad as my tattooist. Friendly guy. let me chill and watch some netflix while I was getting it done. Helped killed some time. Anyway Brad been tating for awhile and it shows! (16+ years) He got it knocked out nice and fast. Came out perfect. I will definitely be returning here. Recommending this place to friends! Thanks again guys.

Safe to say I wont be coming here ever again. Very clean, open shop. However, the one tattoo I have from Inkwell has already faded and I just got in done in 2014. I have a tattoo on my wrist from Integrity tattoos from almost 6 years ago and it still looks awesome and does not need touched up. Inkwell charges far too much for bad-quality of ink. I hope everyone else has had a better experience but, they dont have my vote. Hope the ink quality is improved.

I went to the Inkwell for my first tattoo when I turned 18 and have been back for an additional 3. They do not disappoint!! The staff is very professional and great at what they do. Their price range was about what I had in mind so I was also not displeased with their charges... if you are looking for good work, you pay a good price =) I will definitely be back for more work in the future!!

Darren cleaned up my tired Tat. Gave it life it never had. Great conversationalist and an even better artist. Check out his portfolio. He Also gave me solid advice as to how to finish the piece and get the effect I need And like. Darren will be finishing my piece. Got a good solid vibe from this place. Clean & organized and straight up with price and what to expect.

I just recently got my first tattoo at Inkwell in Fairview! I was kinda freaked out and extremely nervous! I got my tattoo on my ankle. It was done by Brandon Turner! He was awesome! He was very patient with me being scared and a little sick at times. He is very blunt and to the point but his work is incredible! I highly recommend him and the Inkwell team!

Tiffany Wagner

So amazing. All of the guys are so nice and down to earth. I had donny and he is so talented and such a great person to talk to. Very laid back. .. I just moved here and needed to find a new tattoo place--- this is def the place!!! Got two roses for 250. Prices are perfect for the amazing quality!

Matt Brown

I was visiting from Charleston SC and heard how good the shop was. I got my first and only tattoo done here 16 years ago. It still looks great and I am very proud of it! I would love to get another one but I know I would never find that kind of quality and service any where else. Thanks again!

I had an appointment for a sleeve over a month ago that got cancelled by the artist and despite multiple calls and rude service by the woman who picked up the phone have STILL not heard back. They are great artist and do amazing work but absolutely need a costumer service reform

Clayton did my piercing almost 2 months ago. He was polite, attentive, and skilled. Followed his precise instructions for aftercare and I havent had any complications. Cant wait to go back and get my post shortened on my nose piercing. Highly recommend Clayton.

Very informative and very professional. Will suggest you not to get work that will not last ( I wanted a tattoo on my hand). Rather than take my money, they basically pleaded with me to not go through work that was inevitably going to be ruined over time.

Nicest shop Ive been in. Clean, laid back and friendly people. Molly did an excellent job on mine. Gave her room to do what she wanted and she pretty much hit the nail on the head. Highly recommend her and this place.

Ishmael Harris

Super clean and well lit. Wife was expecting it to be very intimidating but it was the exact opposite. Donnie and Darren did a great job and made it an enjoyable experience. Will def be back to get more tattoos!!!
