I got a tattoo done in the beginning of the year by Mike at Eternal Tattoo. I loved it, it was exactly what I asked for. He said if anything happened during the healing process he would touch it up for free. During the healing process the lettering peeled a little, no biggie that happens. When I called to schedule the touch up they told me he no longer worked there but that another artist in the shop could retouch it. I was told that no one but the artist himself could schedule appointments and that I would be required to schedule a time to "come by" and show this artist my tattoo to see if he could touch it up and then schedule another appointment to actually do the touch up. I explained I lived 40 minutes away, and work late nights so this would be tough to make two more trips out there. I didnt understand why no one accepted my offer to text or email a photo of the tattoo. In the following FIVE more phone calls I made to try and get a hold of the artist, I got the same story every time. I even took to calling the minute he came into work in the morning to see if I could catch him but was always told he was "in the middle" of an appointment and promised a call back. I even took to leaving him messages with my availability to make the 40 minute drive there just to show him the tattoo. I understand some people are very busy, so I would allow ample time between my calls for him to return them. This pattern became very frustrating, I asked if ANY artist in the shop could just retouch it and they insisted I could only use the one who is impossible to get a hold of and apparently hates making money. I would have generously tipped whoever fixed up my tattoo and would have returned to this shop for future tattoos as I initially liked everything about it. But now, I have to go to a completely new shop and PAY for a retouch on top of that. I made a total of SIX phone calls and the staff was aware of that but still no return calls. Now I am sad to say I wont be returning to this place or recommending it to anyone, nor will my husband (who was also a previous customer there.)

I had work done here in the past, I originally went to stelios with my idea that I wanted to get in memory of my brother and he looked at it and said "why would you want to get that?" I was pretty pissed at that point and went to someone else in this shop who did a good job but when I went back to him for another tattoo I found out he was fired. I used to go here for piercings done by Ann and Ann only, I have not seen her in a while and assume she moved on to a better setting. There were people always outside smoking and employees making fun of customers as they left. The un-professionalism of this place is sickening.

My rating has nothing to do with recent events that have happened at Eternal. (Although shady.) I visited the shop last summer with my boyfriend to see about setting up a few appointments. The majority of the staff were outside in the back smoking. As we walked up, they were looking at us so I smiled and said hello... And wasnt even acknowledged. Even if I hadnt said anything, youre a business, Im your potential customer... Shouldnt you acknowledge anyone walking into your establishment instead of just staring at them? I had given a deposit but never set up an appointment. I went elsewhere.

This "Steve" guy doesnt know Stelios and must just believe internet gossip. Stelios is hands down the best custom artist and tattooer in Livingston County. He will draw stuff up right in front of you or directly on you to prove its custom and had no problems telling anyone if something was referenced. Every artist in America has done flash or picked something out of a book, if the customer still wants it even though the artist tried talking them out of it, it is still the artists job to do it and satisfy the customer, which I would like to point out, Stelios has done for the last 15 years.

I get all my Tattoos done by Stelios Chimpouras over the past 12 or more years he is an awesome tattoo artist. I would recommend him to anyone. The staff is amazing and very kind and courteous and friendly. He will do anything you want to or draw it up for you and work with you to get the perfect results! Dont go anywhere else. A++++. There is no better tattoo artist I have 22 tattoos by Stelios and I am scheduled to get number 23! You wont regret it at all! I promise!

I cant honestly say Ive ever had a bad experience here, mainly because I avoided stelios and Missy like the plague they are, look past the hype surrounding these two, and see them for what they are, vultures. Clawing their way to the "top" among a pile of shattered hopes and expectations from customers and the broken trust of artists. These two are the embodiment of what is wrong in the body modification industry, money and fame over art and passion. Would never recommend.

Eternal tattoos might just possibly be the best shop I know. I mean have you seen how many awards that guy Stelios has? There might be just enough to reconcile his complete lack of couth in his business tactics and treatment of clientel. And that piercer missy? Never have I seen such bodacious dreads! Those babies work wonders at hiding that snakish charm and shakey hands! Anyone and everyone should pop on in for a good laugh at the whole show!

Just had my tongue pierced today by missy, my experience was pretty good, right after the needle went thru, my natural reactuon was to pull my tongue back, and then i was trying to keep it out; and i was drooling a LOT, given the circumstances, idk how missy got the piercing in, i see comments on here of people bashing, she did great with my piercing, but the door says, "no cry babies" maybe you should go else where if you cant handle it

Ive only worked with Stelios. Hes done three art works on me so far. I enjoy his honesty when it comes to how a tattoo will turn out. Saved me from getting a pretty crappy tattoo. Always shows me clean tools, and has even done custom artwork from pictures Ive brought in.

Ive had all of my piercings done by Em and my first tattoo done by Mike. I couldnt ask for them to have been done better, I love everything Ive had done there!! They were very informative on cleaning and taking care of your modifications, and Ive not once had a problem!

From the consult to my actual appointment it was an all around amazing experience. The shop was very nice and the staff was very friendly. Alissa did an amazing job and Im very happy with everything. I would recommend Eternal Tattoos in a heartbeat!

The guy by the name Stelios, had the nerve to message me with very rude comments and bashing another artist, all I can say is that they are ignorant, rude, anything bad thats in the book. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! they cant even tattoo a quote right!
