In the summer of 2011 I stopped in to get a tattoo, a simple tattoo of Latin text in a Roman engraving type of font. There were no openings so I was asked to put down a $50 deposit for the artist to draw me up something (this was new, as I have gotten 4 tattoos there before with one of the artists who left Magnum). I made the $50 deposit, the artist took my number and wrote down what I wanted and asked if he could text me pictures of what he came up with. I said okay... well, its 2013 now and I have yet to receive a call or text from the artist. After a week (he said hed get a hold of me in a day or two) I tracked down the artist I normally go to who left Magnum, he drew my tattoo up on the spot and got me in to his shop quickly. I will never go to magnum tattoo again. I have 4 large tattoos from the artist who left, he never charged me a dime until the ink was in my skin and I was happy. I was hesitant to put a deposit down and I realize now I should have followed my gut and just found my original artist to begin with. That deposit didnt even guarantee me an appointment! What a joke!

walked in with a friend and they had a poster with small images that you can get done for a reasonable price and me and my buddy ask this artist if she could tattoo us, she said yes. then moments later two more artist walked in and was like no you cant get that done, because it has to be done by the person who drew the images. The person who did the work was not going to be in for hours. i wanted the tattoo right then and there and i was getting attitude from some fat chick that works there. they should have put on the poster that the work has to be done by this specific person. then my niece went in the week before and i asked this guy could i charge my cell phone hes like yeah. then i check my phone periodically and this heavy set guy is yelling like what are you doing back there. they dont know how to speak to customers at all will never go back or recommend unless they are no longer there.

Got two tattoos from different artists at Magnum. My first is a big bald eagle done by Alex Del. Gonna miss that guy as I was planning to get loads more from him. Too bad hes moving to Lansing. The second is a small knuckle anchor done by the one and only DB - Dylan Barker aka Born Flat. Great and interesting guy. Pays close attention to small details. I was expecting to get one design, but 5 minutes into making the appointment he whipped up over 8 designs, and let me pick out one. Great people overall. I think im going to try and get a tattoo from every artist they have at the shop. Would def recommend. The lobby is very nice, its ambiance feels almost like a movie theater. They have plenty of posters, and books with different tattoo designs in them. They even have an Ed Hardy original flash poster. Go here if you want a tattoo in GR, enough said.

Came in for my second tattoo at Magnum (first one was done elsewhere) because the workers werent friendly at all at the previous tattoo parlor. A friend referred this to me and I found the parlor is a really chill place with some really cool and funny workers. Alex, the artist who did my tattoo, definitely brought to life the idea I had and even when I made suggestions, he took them constructively and was excited to work on it. Only four stars because it was quite a long wait past my allotted appointment time. Definitely would recommend to a friend, though.

I went to Magnum 5 years ago. I have 2 Celtic tattoos done by a female artist there. One is quite large and one is small. They are amazing! Its 5 years later and I couldnt love them more. I did research before choosing Magnum to find an artist who did work both with Celtic designs and color. I found her (sorry! I cant remember her name.). We worked together on the design. She was completely professional and I never had to question the safety of the establishment. I would and have recommended Magnum to friends. Thanks Magnum!

Super clean, extremely friendly and helpful, and good at what they do. I did my research before picking a place to get my first tattoo and let me tell you am I glad I picked here. They worked with me time and time again to get it exactly how I wanted, and put their heart into the work. I never thought Id feel so safe and free of worry but it was obvious that these people know what theyre doing. I would never go anywhere else and I would recommend them to everyone I know! Go here for your tattoo needs!!! You WONT be disappointed!!!!

Very mediocre "art work" especially by Jimmy! One can tell just by talking to him, that he knows what he does is not very good. He is quick to snap at you for pointing this out however. Jimmy thinks he is very tough and will combat criticism with physical threats. If you ask me, all these guys should either relearn everything down to the very basics, or quit all together. Save your money and go somewhere where the artists care about quality. Thanks for blocking me like a coward guys!

Had an excellent experience! First time to Magnum, walked right in on a Saturday night and was able to have an existing tattoo filled in with color. Very pleased with the finish product, it was easy to tell that theres a lot of experience behind the people at Magnum! I would highly recomend! :)

Super relaxed, friendly atmosphere! Scott was so amazing, taking serious time to make sure he drew up exactly what we wanted. He was super gentle and took his time (but it didnt take forever!) He also made a a first timer feel very at ease. Beautiful work! Couldnt be happier!

Skot was awesome and did a fantastic job on my tattoo. He is a pro and beyond. No worries about cleanliness either. I literally seen him go through almost half of a box of gloves doing my tattoo. Going back for another on Saturday. Thanks Magnum!!

I had a great experience, I got my tragus pierced and deffinetly for a reasonable price. The woman made me feel very comfortable and gave me good information about everything. The metal is also very high quality and never rusted or tarnished.

Very clean and friendly place. They are very honest and talented. Jimmy does an amazing job!! He has done two of my tattoos and I will have more done by him in the future. You can tell that they are a true team of friends there.
