I identified Kelly as an artist to work with since she did my boyfriends and his moms tattoos. While they assured me she was awesome, they didnt quite elaborate. But in my time with her, I am glad she was my artist. She respects her work (which as an artist of any sort becones an extension of self. Whether that is just labor, or something truly emotionally invested in). At one point, while giving aftercare instructions, she mentioned protecting "our" investment. This is what made me realize she really cares about the quality that goes into her art that everyone is going to see me carry around on a living canvas. But its not a one-sided process, she seemed genuinely interested in the symbolic value I invested in my design and the story that came with it. Kelly was responsive when I needed a break, and was more than willing to answer questions I had. She has a specific day to come in during the week for someone to come in and work on a design. I came in late February and just got my tattoo last Friday. I forgot to ask, but I assume tax season money may have been a factor in filling up her schedule. Her quality work was certainly worth waiting for, and I will be back.

Being jerks IS NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS! I am 27 and just moved back from Maine to continue my Masters at WSU for Art Therapy. I grew up in Clawson down the street and my Dad and I used to even go into Renshaws so we knew Tom somewhat.(Wink wink toke) Anyway the real reason I moved back was bc Dad had a stroke. He isnt doing so hot....he started getting some tattoos over the past 4 years..(Midlife crisis? Ha) from Eternal and as an homage to him while hes still here I went there to get one. After much thought I decided a big mustache since everyone knew him for it and some stars bc he always calls me superstar. I dont get meaningless ink like a kid. I was SHOCKED!!!!!!! When the ____ I spoke with in the shop told me it wasnt a good idea and he suggest I get it done somewhere else with lower standards! WOW. Well guys I hope you enjoy treating your neighbors and family of clients like this, I hope you think youre sweet tattOo artists and get off on it. (Its just a job)

Today after school I went to Eternal Tattoos Clawson to get my tongue pierced. This was my first time going to a shop for anything to be done, and I told the piercer, Fish, that. He then ran down the whole process (obviously) but then he gave me very useful information about tattoo shops in general. He told me what to look for when being pierced, everything from the type of jewelry they should be using to the machine that sterilizes everything and the gauge that determines if it is, to the exact type of gloves they should use, to what they should even be prepping the skin with. He also informed me about what should be red flags about shops. I appreciate everything he told me and I could tell he genuinely cares about what he does and the people he is doing it too. I highly recommend him for any piercing you are thinking of getting, because I definitely know Ill be going back to him for any future piercing!

If eternally stupid or eternally ugly tattoos are your thing, visit the lair of an inexperienced artist working here. While they may possess the skill to draw a beautiful picture on paper, their ability to transfer ink into your skin may not exist, since they just charged me a pretty penny to pump my skin so full of ink that I had a blowout. This tat cant be fixed, due to the ratios of its proportions, so the only way I can remove the cloudy stain is through laser removal. The blow out was caused by "ink packing." Either the artist used too much speed, power, or both in the machine and/or remained in one spot too long causing an over-saturation of ink. It doesnt matter which it was, because either way, he didnt know how to set his machine or he didnt know how to use it. This is simply operator error, and the result is a wrecked tattoo stuck on my body.

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine decided we were going to get piercings. We went yesterday to the Eternal in Clawson. I had been thinking for years of getting a vertical hood piercing but never seriously thought I would do it. Once I made the decision though, I was nervous but extremely excited. Mike Moore, the piercer, found a way to make us more comfortable and was completely at ease with our mountain of questions and our obvious nervousness at what we were about to do. I have never felt more confident with a piercer, and that is saying a lot since I have never had one staring at my genitalia for 5 minutes haha. I would have to say that yesterday was the best piercing experience of my life and I completely owe it to him. I would reccomend him (and the percing!) to anyone.

The worst customer service Ive ever experienced!! My wife and I both received beautiful tattoos from one of your artists. I was saving and looking forward to having him touch another one up and add one for me. He was brash, but I thought it was kind of funny at first. For two months hes been blowing me off and bragging about how busy he is. He says he has them lined up down the street!! He charges top dollar and wont work with even a loyal customer on price. He is even insulting!! Because of his arrogant, rude attitude, I told him that he would be begging for work before Iong. Im currently looking for a more professional artist. When I told him that I was going somewhere else, he said "sweet" and had the nerve to ask me to show it to him when its done!! Unbelievable...

Jamey did a WONDERFUL job on my tattoo!! My grandmother past away in Dec. 2015 at the age of 97 (awesome life). My grandparents had been married for 72 years while helping my grand father make the funeral arrangements I came across a piece of paper with my grandmothers hand writing on it with the words hope faith and courage on it and that was it like she was talking right to me. I took that piece of paper to Eternal Tattoos where I met Jamey he was able to copy that piece of paper in my grandmothers writing and make an EXACT match for my tattoo. Now I can see her message to me all the time forever. THANK YOU JAMEY

I wrote a long review on yelp, so Ill keep this one short. This place is fantastic. Got tattooed by Jamie the other day, great dude, couldnt be more pleased. Everyone who works here is very friendly and professional, the shop is very clean. Id recommend anyone here and plan on going back. The review about denying someone a tattoo I found both funny and very comforting. Regardless whether I agree or not with that, its great to know people that work here are professional enough, and have a high enough demand to deny working on someone. Id want to know if my tattoo idea was silly. Keep it up dudes!

My wife got her nose pierced the other day and it was a really good experience. Mike was really friendly and kept talking about the jewelry he uses and as well as the proceedure and made it really obvious that he knows his stuff. When it came to the actual piercing, it only took a moment and my wife said it was completely painless without any discomfort. He was really helpful with after-care info and welcomed us to call or stop in if we had any questions or wanted different/more jewelry/piercings. I highly recommend him.
