Ive gotten a couple tattoos here now by Mike Shaw and I never have a single negative thing to say. Everyone in the shop is exceptionally friendly and takes care of you. Theres always laughter and smiling. You feel like old friends or family when you go in. The artists are all very talented. Like I said, Mike Shaw is who I go to and he never disappoints. He is very good at listening to what you are wanting and translating it into a beautiful work of art that fits so perfectly into the odd shaped canvas that is the human body. Mikes work is absolutely phenomenal. Every detail is so precise and his tattoos hold up well over time. The one I had done today was not my first by him and it certainly will not be my last. You know youve found a great artist when you start to cry after your tattoo is finished, not because of the pain but because it surpasses your greatest expectations and perfectly embodies the specific memories and emotions you went in to immortalize on your skin in the first place.

Ive never felt so welcomed & comfortable when walking into a tattoo shop! There is always someone to greet you & everyone always says hi. Its always clean & you can tell the employees enjoy working there. There are always customers there which says a lot about a business. Mike Shaw is my artist. Ive gotten multiple tattoos from him & Ill never go anywhere else! His studio is comfortable, spotless, and has a beautiful display of artwork -his own & other artwork that inspires him. I could go on & on about his artwork because you can tell its really a passion of his but I wont. When Mike tattoos you its not just a tattoo you get out of it. He has the best personality! He can make anyone laugh & makes you feel like youve known him for years. Because of Mike, his work & the shop, I recommend Mike to everyone that asks me about my tattoos!

This shop is the best! Clean, comfortable, and quick response time when you walk in. Each artist is dedicated to producing great, quality work that is not only beautiful but also exactly what the client wants. Mike Shaw is without a doubt one of the most talented artists Ive ever met. He is the only tattoo artist I trust. He understands what his clients want, is always willing to create a design to meet the clients needs, and is easy to talk to. While tattooing, he not only is focused on quality work but also on making it a fun and relaxing environment with great conversation. His work is beyond compare! He is the artist I recommend to anyone considering a tattoo.

NEVER EVER GET TATTOOED HERE!!!!! I got a tattoo from Jay as well. He came highly recommended but gave me the worst tattoo Ive ever seen. I sat for almost six hours to do a basic hand-sized tattoo. He tried to pound the ink into me so he wouldnt have to follow up and DESTROYED my skin. The ink didnt stay at all and the scarring is so bad Ive had other artists say they cant do anything until it goes away "two to three years". If I didnt sign his waiver Id sue him. There are better people out there. I know he comes highly recommended and hes done some very cool pieces, but what he did to me is atrocious. Dont take the chance guys.

I love this shop! Everybodys professional and personable. Ive been so many times and had all my tattoos done there. Mike Shaw is my artist, which is lucky for me, because he is extremely talented. If youre indecisive like me, he can design something dope for you if you have some good ideas. Hes chill and his prices are reasonable. The work is clean and will not disappoint. Hes easily the best artist there. I feel lucky to have found a good place the first time, and every visit after was even better than the first. I wouldnt go anywhere else. For tattoos: Mike. For piercings: Cogan. I highly recommend.

So here is the story...I had an appointment at Altered image,well the guy stood me up there. So i went to Artistic to maybe make an appt or get my tattoo down then. Well the girl Layne told me she may stay and do my tattoo. I left my number and went to get something to eat while waiting for the call. After two hours i waited in the parking lot at Artistic to get a call. I lived an hour away and didnt want to drive all the way home to just come back. And i had explained this! Never got a call to whether she would or would not do my tattoo and saw her outside kissing on a guy in the back!

Ive done tattoos other places and now I will never go anywhere else but to Artistic and to see Mike Shaw. Everyone at the shop was helpful, personable and made sure to focus on exactly what I wanted. I had a friend with me and they treated us both very well. We got to laugh, enjoy the time and I left with a *kick ass* tattoo. I will not only be returning for any ink I get, but will make sure to refer anyone interested in getting a tattoo straight there. Could not have asked for a better experience & absolutely love those guys! Thank you Mike & Artistic crew! See you soon. <3 :)

Came n last weekend for a tattoo Jay took
Interest in what I wanted to get done. He was HIGHLY recommended !!! Jay took a professional portrait, turned it into a tatoo. It was awesome. I came in today March 2 to get it done. All the employees are friendly, nobody is high on anything...it is a perfect day for tattooing. Who ever thinks they suck are sadly mistaken. They have never been anything but great to me and my friends. Sometimes tattoos take longer than u think if u want it done right. Tattooing is an art and a skill if u want good work then I would go see them.

I have had my last 3 large tattoos completed by Mike Shaw at Artistic in Avon, and I am incredibly happy with his work! After getting stood up by another artist at a different tattoo shop in Indy, I went in to Artistic and met with Mike. He took on the challenge of a large chest tattoo and made the experience amazing. Mike is super talented, professional, and his prices are great! The Avon location is clean and the entire staff is very welcoming. I will continue to recommend Mike and Artistic to my friends!

Great shop! Always enjoy my time there. It is hard to find an artist who is consistent and on point everytime you get work done. MIKE SHAW is that artist, he has been doin all my tattoos for few years now. He took my ideas and brought them to life, and took time to tattoo my sons artwork on my leg. Mike listens to what you want and does his magic. He is gentle handed compared to other artists I had been to. He truly is an amazing artist and person!!!

Love it! Cogan Draper is the best piercer! I went to him and had him pierce my rook and a week later went back and had him pierce my daith. He is definitely hands down the best! Cogan is very professional and friendly felt like I knew him for years! And so helpful on before and after care. I will be back to have him do more piercings! And would recommend him to anyone!!
