I had an appointment with Amy this past Saturday and I could not be more pleased. This is my fifth tattoo and was by far the best experience to date. I was nervous when I went in for my consult at the end of April, as my art choice was a little off-the-wall. When I explained to Amy that I was looking to get the Tree of Gondor from the Lord of the Rings, she went back to her little studio area to grab a fully illustrated Tolkien book from the 70s her uncle had given her years ago to search for some imagery on it. I knew right away I was in great hands! Amy was finishing up with another client when my husband and I arrived for my appointment on Saturday, so we popped down to the Liberty Memorial to enjoy the amazing weather while we waited. We returned at 3:30 and during my 1 1/2 hour appointment, we chatted and laughed with Amy about various Lord of the Rings things, Sean Bean, Battlestar Galactica, and other tv shows and films. Amy is so sweet and down-to-earth. I felt very comfortable with her. My husband has 3 appointments coming up with Amy this summer and he is very much looking forward to what she designs for him--as am I! As long as Amy is here, I will return to her for every new piece of art I am looking to add. Thank you, Amy!!

Great location, awesome staff. Its clean, reputable, trust worthy, and the people are top notch. Rachel is amazing to work with and a phenomenal artist. Everyone there is really friendly and helps to put you at ease. Even as someone who has many, many tattoos, it can be intimidating to walk into a new place and these guys have a super chill vibe. I never feel like Im being belittled or anything like that. Rachel has done 2 arm pieces for me and both are spectacular. I am constantly getting compliments and having people ask me who/where they are from. You definitely get what you pay for, and thisplace is worth every penny. And the fish tank is pretty bomb. :)

Amy is an amazing tattoo artist. I had her do a cover-up of an old tattoo but I wasnt 100% sure what I wanted. She came up with some really good ideas so I booked my appointment. It only took 2 sessions to finish and she not only tattoos like a rock star, but her attention to detail is amazing. When my tattoo was finished she was wiping down my back to get it ready to wrap and noticed a little spot she didnt like so she touched it up. It was a small gesture, but the fact it was so minor and she still took the time to make the tattoo perfect speaks volumes about her skills. I would totally recommend her to anyone looking to get a tattoo.

PSA: you get cellulitis when you dont take care of your tattoo properly and or scratch your scabs off, not from the shop itself (unless if they use dirty needles). Ben Weas did not use dirty needles and changed out his needles right in front of me. The only critique I have is that I noticed none of the tattooers in the shop used clip cord sleeves, but the entire shop was sanitary enough to where they were not needed I guess. Ben did a great job on my traditional Indian girl. I used an old flash piece from my Jonathan Shaw book and he brought my idea to life. Definitely recommend him if you are wanting to anything traditional!

Rachel is the best. I have followed her since she was in Independence. Out of all of my tattoos, she has done 3 cover-ups with one that she pulled up on her phone and drew with a marker on my arm to cover up another tattoo instead of drawing it out. Most people cant do that. She is pretty quick and not heavy handed at all. I have referred quite a few people to her and they loved her work. I wont go anywhere else nor to any one else now that I have her. I now have over 20 tattoos.

I have been using Rachel for all my tattoos. She does really good work and the shop is exceptionally clean. Two of my tattoos was cover ups and you cant even tell. I go back the 19th of this month to finish my sleeve up. After that heals Im going to start with some ink on my leg. You couldnt ask for a better shop or better tattoo artist. Rachel is the best and I recommend her to anyone. And just to make it clear the tattoos Rachel covered up was not done by her.

My husband passed away recently and his mom, sisters and I wanted to get tattoos to commemorate him. Dalton came in especially for us on his day off to do them for us. It was the first tattoo for two of us and Dalton was very reassuring and friendly, making it a positive experience for all of us. We werent sure of the exact design we wanted. Dalton sketched several options to be sure we were happy with what wed be getting and he did a great job!!

Amy has done great work on my tattoos. My skin didnt take the color too well on the first run. So when it was all healed up, Amy came up with another great idea and she changed the color and filled in the negative space. Her ideas are brilliant and her work is exceptional. Relaxed environment and very customer friendly people. Prices are more than fair.

Love this place, the artist here are clean and professional, Rachel is just the best, will listen to your questions and help you design the best tattoo just for you, fair price for tattoos and other body art. I highlyrecommend them to people looking for there first tattoo or someone that has alot but needs a better artist.

Got a killer piece done by Heather Menteer. She absolutely crushed the drawing and the tattoo. Shes a rad artist and def recommend seeing her if youre after something clean, original and rad you wont be disappointed. ⚡ The parlor is open, clean and comfortable. Staff was solid and theyre all about business.

Super clean & sterile! 3 of us headed in for a spur of the moment tattoo & we were so lucky to get Dalton. They were very simple minimalist tattoos, but we were nervous and Dalton made us feel secure in our decision and comfortable in the chair. Such a great, talented guy!

What is there not to love about this place. Great staff, clean, and and amazing work. I have gotten multiple pieces from Rachael now and I wouldnt go anywhere else. I constantly get people complements from Rachaels work and she is priced very well for what she does.

Rachael is an amazing artist. She has done probably 20ish hours of work on me so far and she has done 5 or 6 tattoos for my wife. The shop is clean and always an entertaining place to be in. We will continue to come back to the Ink Parlor for our tattoo work!

Ive seen Rachel since her days at Grimms. Every single piercing on my body was done by her & I wouldnt see anyone else. Shes done my dermals, Tragus twice, Daith and belly. She is so relaxing and puts you at ease! Highly recommended.

Ive only gotten my Tattoos from one guy, ask for him Jacob. This was the first time Ive been to him at this new shop and it was great. Nice and clear and the rest of the staff seems friendly. Id recommend this place to anyone.
