My mom and I met in Kansas City to celebrate my 21st birthday [we live on opposite ends of the country] and my mom decided she was going to get her first tattoo during our trip, so I decided to get my third one done as well. I did some searching around for a shop and it didnt take me long to find this one. This is the first shop Ive come across that in my opinion all the artists are equal in talent and abilities so when I showed it to my mom I knew that she had an excellent selection of artists without sending her a million different shops. [Which was amazing because Ive never been that impressed by a specific shop before and also because we were on a time crunch and visiting so if someone wasnt available, maybe someone else would be and Im sure we wouldnt have had to sacrifice on quality.] We had thought about getting them done at the same time also, but I was pleasantly surprised that my mom and I both had one artist in particular that stood out. We contacted Beth, who we learned works there part-time and luckily she was available to work with both of us even on such short notice! We got to the shop early and while we were waiting the shop owner, Neil, talked to us and was very nice and personable and made us feel comfortable. In my past experience I wasnt usually talked to by anyone except the guy doing my tattoo after I told them who it was that I was there for, but this was not the case here!! She had accidently left her bag at home [she works another job during the day] so we had to wait a little bit for her to print and get set up, but we didnt mind. Logan, who is another amazing artist with many excellent reviews from what I had seen came out from the back after he had finished with another persons tattoo and talked with us for a bit as well, and Beth said that Logan does her tattoos which lets you know the quality, trust, and Im assuming friendship that they have with each other as well. My mom went first so she wouldnt chicken out and Beth was very personable and kind with my nervous mom! In my experience, the guy that I went to when I got my first one done was really skeptical that I would go through with it and was very impersonable until it was done when he realized that I didnt cry at all and he never had to tell me to be still, then I earned his respect I guess. But Beth was patient, explained everything she was doing and why, answered my moms questions and never appeared to be judgmental or rushing. During the process she played good music and we talked a lot throughout. It didnt feel awkward or forced at all, I thought we all got along well. We both got our tattoos on our inner forearm and it hurt my mom a lot, but mine didnt hurt too much, but when it comes to the coloring, I bled more than my mom did [which I have heard is annoying to deal with but she didnt complain or anything]. The price was great and fair as well, especially for the amazing job she did! They both look fantastic, I already got a compliment on the color! We were so grateful for the experience and expertise and I would definitely travel the 8 hours to have her do my future tattoos! One tip on the shop in general is that they do cash only so make sure to get a good quote and bring enough for the tip as well!!

Both my husband and myself got work done today! Neil did both ours. He did an amazing job, we both absolutely love the work!!!!! I dont know what this other person is talking about with their bad review... Neil was very friendly and so were the other artists we spoke to. He was very smart about all of it and again very nice. We have been looking for a good artist to stay with and I think we found him! We both are going back for second sessions to add finishing touches. And we both will be going back for a lot more work too! The shop is clean and they have a lot of books and things to look through if your undecided! I have been to quite a few shops and this one is deff one of my favorites! We were both also told many times that if we need anything fixed and or touched up that it is part of the guarantee with the shop/artist. So that isnt an issue. I got a very detailed piece on my tiny arm lol and all the lines came out perfect. And for prices... I feel we got a hell of a deal, Mine is a half a sleeve and for what i paid its a great deal! Your deff not going to get ripped off with them. With in the few hours after we finished we have already referred a few people who stopped us amazed by the work. SO in my personal opinion they are great! I do know how hard it is to find a good artist (believe me.. Ive got a few pieces ill be having Neil fix for me) but I do believe you will find one here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck

Well, just got my septum pierced here. What a nightmare. Tired calling the shops number multiple times and really got the run around and some super rude phone educate. Finally was told I should be at the shop at 12:45pm. Showed up and waited until 1:25pm because the guy wasnt even there. Really at this point I should have just gone somewhere else. But, I didnt. My mistake. Anyways... The piercer lined up my piercing and TOOK A PHONE CALL while the clamps were on my nose. I thought maybe he was just getting a feel for the spot, but with no warning shoved the needle through my nose and roughly put my jewellery in. Finally when he got off the phone he had the nerve to hit on me, make an inappropriate comment on how good my body looked and sent me on my way. He gave me no information on how to even take care of my new piercing. Horrible. This is the kind of thing that gives the business a bad name.

Went here to get a cover up fixed that was not done well from another shop in KC. See my reviews. Uncle Dave fixed me up. I actually now have the old tattoo covered now and am pleased with the end result. Of course Uncle Dave wanted to do more to improve on the tattoo, but being worked on five times in under two months I needed a break. Uncle Dave was also in shock at the scarring on us from the other shop. His exact words were...." This guy must not have liked you too much"......He actually seemed somewhat upset that someone would scar us like that. But I will be going back for sure to get it worked some time. Great Color Saturation, Great atmosphere, friendly as can be staff. Uncle Dave even hums and sings the whole time.....LOL. The only negative thing I can say is that they are a far drive, but I guess it is worth it if the work is done right.

Ive been looking for a tattoo artist since i moved down here in February. Ive been referred to bumerous places. But i found this one on monday and fell in love. After reading the reviews it seemed like a good choice. So i called. Niel was super friendly. He worked around my schedule which was amazing. I went yesterday to get my tattoo. Mind you this was my FIRST tattoo. I was scared and panicking. But it was comfortable. He didnt get irritated or rude if i made noises or moved. The music actually helped me focus and after a while. I barely felt the pain. He helped bring my vision to life. Im super happy with my tattoo. There is nothing i could say wrong about to the tattoo. This is the ONLY place i will go to from now on. Neil is the absolute best. I highly reccommend him to anyone looking. Especially first timers
