Reviews of Artistic Skin Design and Body Piercing (Tattoo Shop)

Angie Pinkston

They are Awesome

Christy Pinter

My Daughter has had 2 piercings done here, they are VERY PROFESSIONAL, and. VERY through with instructions for after care. I VERY MUCH recommend them.

Linda L. Maxey

The place itself was fun and the people were friendly and very informative. The piercing was quick and almost painless. I would recommend this place to other's.

Justin Piersall

Rob squeezed me in for a tattoo between appointments. He really did me a huge favor on New Year’s Eve. Love the work and professionalism. I would definitely recommend Artistic Skin Design.

Amy Rumple

Love this place they do great work, wouldn't go anywhere else.

Allison Key

Dannielle is amazing!! I came to her after bad experiences with nipple piercings. We went vertical with them this time and they are healing perfectly. I don’t know what her magic is but I couldn’t ask for anything better. I took my daughter in to get her third lobes done and the attentiveness she gave her was beyond what I could have expected. She was very detailed and explained everything before she would do it. I ended up getting my Tragus done the same day. Quick and painless. Only piercer I will trust!

Kara Deweese

This place was a professional, great atmosphere and great people. I got piercings done and didn't take for ever to do them. Got it done quick. explained everything in detail about cleaning the piercings and how long it will take to heal. I highly recommend this place.

Abbie Normal

This is the best place to go. Everyone here treats you so good and they do excellent work.

tommie lynn Hawkins

Only place I'll go for tattoos and piercings! Danielle is an amazing piercer. Ty Pittman does great work at am affordable cost. Very flexible! Clean and welcoming atmosphere too!

Jo McGlothlin

This location has several artists to work with. You should be able to find one that you like and like their work. Even with quick turn over of clientele most artists are very skilled and reliable. You can walk in or make an appointment and prices are competitive. Clean, well kept, skilled and for the most part reliable. The two I have seen is Nathan & Hank, I highly recommend both.

Jamye Brown

Awesome place, got the other side of my lip pierced! Awesome chick! Was fast and painless. Fair price as well!! Will continue to go there!

Kelsay Cox

I had a tattoo done on my foot by Miles for my birthday, and I LOVE how it turned out. He was funny and made me feel comfortable. I will definitely be returning and recommending him!

Joseph Margheim

I got my first tattoo this week. Nate was the artist that did it. My tattoo was pretty complicated as it had to be done a certain way (it has sheet music involved) and in a pretty small space for how much music was in it. Nate was super helpful and took my criticism of his design well. He had never read music but was patient and understanding and drew it exactly how I wanted it. He was flexible and extremely detailed and gave me something I am proud to show off. My next tattoo will definitely be through him and I would recommend him to anyone.

Stefanie

If you need a body piercing done, I highly recommend this place. I came in looking for information on a single stud micro dermal, and Danielle thoroughly explained - with visuals - how it was done, the potential mishaps and typical healing time. She has been doing this for 20 years and made me feel comfortable and educated with absolutely no pressure to pierce right away. I went ahead and had it done, and I'm so happy I did!!! The healing process for me has been better than I could have hoped, there has been no discharge whatsoever (definitely invest to get the sea salt spray), almost no bruising, and I've been told by a couple people that they've never seen a dermal healing as well as mine is. I couldn't be happier!

Tina Marshall

Awesome work

Lindsey Hydock

I had lost the internally threaded ball for my brand new septum piecing, and was in town for GenCon, Barry helped me get a new matching ball and was simply amazing to talk to and understanding of the situation. If I was a local, I'd happily go back. The shop was clean, organized, and the artwork featured by the artists was stunning.

Meg Morley

I can't speak to the tattoo side of things, but Danielle, the piercer, was quick, very professional, and very helpful. She really knows her stuff, and I highly recommend her, especially for dermals.

Carole Baxter

Hank is the BEST! This one of 4 he did. Won't go to anyone else there.

lisa schafer

I went in with a basic idea for a memorial piece, to celebrate my Nana! What I got was far more beautiful than I had imagined! Thank you Rob for giving me this beautiful piece of art! I love it!!!

Haylee Rains

My best friend and I decided to do something spontaneous, so we decided to get our noses pierced! We were able to just come in and get them done in about 20 minutes! They are very friendly and professional! I highly recommend!!

AntTheGoat 2

Great place to go get a body piercing

Storm L

Great place mother in law got a tat here

Jaime Munden

I've been coming here for almost 20 years and always receive great customer service and fantastic work.

S. Wise

I fell in love with this parlor and my experience here was nothing short of perfect. My tattooist Ty was super personable and helped me develop a tattoo that was exactly what I had envisioned. The prices are EXTREMELY reasonable and the shop is as sterile as a hospital. Everyone here is very kind and I've never heard a bad thing about the place. I plan on coming here for future mods.

Meryl Bates

Went in for a piercing and had the best experience ever! Staff is really friendly. Best experience ever!

Jessica Rivera

Got my bellybutton pierced here and she did great! Didn't feel anything until the last part. Can't remember her name but she was funny and even explained some things when I came back with questions. Will definitely be back!!

Jessie Toepp

Clean, friendly, welcoming, would recommend to others!

Samantha Greer

Clean place awesome people!!Getting my Tragus pierced later and I'm so excited plus they know me in there from coming in the past!

demonick tats

Tori; I am saddened to hear that you feel so negative towards my art. Everybody else in here that day thought your tattoo looked great; and I do recall you even tipping me for it. But that aside, I always have, and always will guarantee my work. I still stand by my offer to touch up the minor imperfections that come with any art; for free of course. Thank you, Nick.

Erin Gehrich

Hank was amazing would recommend and am going to go to again

Troy Benefiel

Had all my work done here, wouldn't go any where else, Hank is awesome to work with, Barry the owner comes in and talks to the clients, top notch place.

Tim Evans

Friendly staff. Helped me with my peircing issue.. Missing nipple ring lol. The young lady who helped me was nice enough to help me "reinstall" my new jewelry!

Hailey

Artistic Skin Design & Body Piercing Shop is truly brilliant. I do not know names - as I was seriously so out of it but April 6th me and my sister went to get our noses pierced at this location! The wait was minimal and the piercing itself took nearly 2 minutes to do! The female who pierced my nose and my sister's nose was friendly, informative and overall a doll! Great service! Will be back for more.

Lori Jones

I had Ty do a piece for me in memory of my mother and he did an amazing job!! I definitely reccomend him and will be using him next time it decide to get ink work done.

Drew Young

One of the better studios indy has to offer. Especially in the piercing department.

Amber young

I go here whenever I'm wanting a piercing. Danielle is a awesome. Super clean, very patient. Wouldnt go anywhere else.

Dharma Peterson

Piercer is excellent

Beth Gugenheim

The whole staff is great! I've gotten 4 tattoos there, have loved every single one! Ty was my favorite artist, for sure. His handwriting is wonderful! The facility is clean and well-lit, too.

Kasey Arbuckle

Had only been to artistic before for piercings until today. Absolutely love my first tattoo thank you to Miles, I will definitely be back soon!

LeAnne Manuel

I am not going to lie I am a little disappointed. I went in with an idea, and I got a really good tattoo. The tattoo artist was not friendly at all though. Again, I was very happy with the design and placement, but I won't be going back to the same guy. I also recommended someone to the guy, because I did like the design so much. The artist never even bothered to get back in touch with my referral.

Mindy Oakley

I have brought my daughter here for each of ear piercings. Very knowledgeable and clean. She knows what she is doing. We won't go anywhere else.

Jason Hopkins

I didnt catch her name but the piercer was absolutely fn amazing couldnt be happier

Joe Ward

Never a disappointing visit getting work done by Hank. 20 years with him and wouldn't go anywhere else for half the price!!!

Haliegh Fiddler

I went in on a whim, I wanted to get my ears stretched and I was having too much trouble doing it myself. Went in it was super clean, very professional. It is very small, but homey in a way. Dannielle did a wonderful job, super sweet, I know who I'm going to get my piercings done from now on!

CONNIE SMITH

My Two Daughters Shelby & Angie Has Had 3 Tats Done There And They Are Amazing Thank You!

Patrick Gregory

Ty was my artist. It was my first tattoo. I had a great experience. Very friendly and professional. It took no time and it turned out GREAT. Very happy.

J.S. Carie

Called Clint on Friday, by Monday afternoon he had my loved ones name on my chest and out the door in 45 minutes. Highly recommend, super nice people. Will go back, no doubt

Donna K

Thank you Dannielle for the painless and awesome experience! Totally impressed!

Sarah Macris

I have been seeing Miles for over 3 years and it’s always a fantastic experience. He’s a super talented artist. There’s always parking, the staff is friendly and makes sure you have been helped, and their prices are fair. The piercers aren’t there every day, so make sure you call ahead. Don’t mind the color differences in the pictures, we just finished up some shading two days ago.

Julie Skelton

Great place

Charlene Merket

Was a little bit of a wait but definitely was worth it! Surprisingly getting my new Dermal didnt hurt one bit! I swear my 2nd and 3rd wholes on my earsLOBES I felt more anything..it hasnt hurt after being done either! Definitely would refer others and go back for more!

Ebony Knight

I don't know the lady who did my nose piercing but she was THE BOMB she match it perfect to the other side i just want to say thank you!!!....the shop make you feel like your at a friends house i will be back

Mariely Marin

Really clean, nice staff and they definitely knew what they were doing with piercings. I got my helix pierced and it was a great experience

K Bayer

Nathan did my second tattoo and I absolutely love it. He was so laid back and easy going. My husband was a little hesitant, I think but when the finished product was revealed he loved it. I cannot wait to go for my third :) My first was done by Clinton and he too was amazing! I love the atmosphere and the artist. Thank you guys!!!

Emma Hughes

Danielle is the only piercer I will go to -- she is always attentive, kind, and makes getting a piercing a fun experience. I take friends and family here and will continue to do so. Very clean place and welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a piercing.

Jessica Clore

Came with a friend to get a tattoo. While in the shop I had to use the restroom and let me say, you will never have to worry about running out of toilet paper. There are enough rolls to last MONTHS. Would come back again for the restroom alone.

Sarah Anne

First time there and first tattoo for my daughter. I'm going back on Tuesday to get one of my own. Clint is amazing!

Kimberly Vazquez

Ty has done all but one of my tattoos. I will never go to another artist. He is light handed and can seem to draw up exactly what i have in my head. People see my tattoos and always want to know who did them and want to go see him. He is not only a great artist but he is a wonderful person who makes you feel comfortable while getting your tattoo. I have also had Danielle work with my piercings. She is great as well. I feel like i am family the moment i walk into the shop. I am glad i found artistic skin southside and i will always recommend them to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing.

Jen Heinicke

Was pierced by Danielle. She was fantastic!! Extremely friendly, knowledgeable and talented. Would totally recommend

Stacey Willis

Love the artist who done my tatoo

Amber Scott

Great work and atmosphere. Friendly as well.

Amore jones

Staff is awesome

Mkm o3o

Danielle was really great, I got my industrial done and it was really quick and easy. She told me everything I needed to know, and more. If you're looking for good piercings come see Danielle. I know I'm coming back here in the future.

Cierra

Went in to redo my nostril piercing. Piercer (I believe her name was Mandy?) was quick and efficient. Shop was clean and everyone was nice. I picked up some H2o spray for my piercing and I appreciated that they didn't overprice it like some places do. No complaints here!

Kira Frendreis

I've had nothing but good experiences here. They did my daith piercing and have changed it out at low fees. I've seen beautiful tattoo work walk out of this shop.

Jaeeshia Lashae

They are very professional and neat. I got my first tattoo here, I like the tattoo I received, but at the same time the artist who did my tattoo picked out something totally different than what I showed him I wanted. The tattoo is GREAT dont get me wrong but I wish now he would've just done what I asked for... it's just a plain outline tattoo and what I picked out had more details and shading. I love this place though. I came back to get my first piercing also..

Astrid Gray

Danielle is the best!!!! Only piercer I trust!

Brenda Herrera

Got my tragus done, sidn't even hurt. Very clean place, I've been going to Artistic Skin Design since the age of 15.

Kelly Caudill

This place is absolutely clean and the artist there are friendly the atmosphere was amazeballs!. My husband and I took our daughters there. One needed her first set of earrings done she is 4 , our other daughter wanted to have her cartilage done she is 10 and we both wanted to have our tongues done, so we made it a family day. I am really bad with names but the young lady who did all our piercings took her time and made sure we were all laughing she did an amazing job and was absolutely amazing with our four year old and made sure she was comfortable. We will be going back in the future. Thank you from one happy family !!!!

DeAnna Lecklider

I love this place! Everyone is always willing to help me out with designing my tattoos. Very clean and sanitary. Would definitely be going back for my 3rd tattoo!

Kyle King

Fair prices. Great staff

angelina e

Nick did a wonderful job covering an old, unattractive, and really dark tattoo. There is literally no trace of it left, all that's there now is the beautiful new design. He is also a careful and considerate artist. I really can't recommend him or the shop highly enough. Edit/Update: Unfortunately I have to change my rating. There were huge deep purple marks that my husband and I thought were just bruises because I have very sensitive pale skin. I waited two months for the bruises to heal and they didn't so I called to make an appointment to have it looked at as well as get the free touch up they provide. I was told Nick no longer works there so they can't waste another artist's time by making an appointment but I can walk in and if someone is free they will look at it. I went in and waited until someone was available. They looked at it and determined that it was ink. I was shocked, not freaking out or mad at the shop I just couldn't understand why. The work was two large coy fish and they looked just like his drawing. They were the exact colors we discussed except everywhere are large purple/maroon splotches. There's even one in between a fish's tail. The only variations we discussed was that I would be more than fine with a black and white coy instead of an orange one. He never once mentioned doing spots or splotches which is why for a long time I thought it was just bruising. The artist who looked it over made some suggestions for fixing it but said that I would have to pay more for that. I mentioned that he put something on my body that I didn't give the ok for and that wasn't in the drawing. The artist then said yeah I never felt good about that guy, he was talented but not right for this shop. The owner was supposed to call me and work something out. He never called and anytime I have called I have not been able to reach him.

Siren Maeve

Me and My sister had our nose piercing done on April 6th. The wait was not long for us to head back to get it done. Due to not remembering the woman who did our piercing I would say she is the go to beautiful soul to get any piercing done. I really enjoy her and the style she has I thought was cute. 2 mins if that to get the piercing done. I love the vibes of the shop and people. Made me feel comfortable and explained the healing process and cleaning instructions. Its been 6 days in and my nose is looking amazing and super cute! Healing fast!!! This is my 3rd time so

Stacie Kirby

After an incident I had this morning on social media, I felt compelled to write a quick review. I have several pieces from here, and the artists have all been wonderful to work with. Never have I had any problems or criticisms on previous work by other artists. This morning, I got a rather unusual notification on Facebook — evidently a picture I tagged with the shop was commented on, saying that the piece looked “horrible” and that the artist who did it was no longer there. I believe this was from one of their current artists, who I’ve never worked with. Unfortunately, the comment and image have disappeared. I can’t even find the picture that was commented on. Very bizarre, and a bit hurtful, as this particular design was to honor my late grandmother and her losing her battle to breast cancer. I will still return to the shop in the future, I was just rather puzzled at the exchange.

Tyler Kehrein

Quick service and rally good work done by the artists! In and out in under an hour. Highly recommend them and the location is easy to get to from most all of the Indianapolis area

Logan McCullough

Great experience people where so helpful and the guy who did my tattoo did an amazing job will definently be going back

Braydon Hinderliter

Great atmosphere, super friendly and helpful staff

Paxity Greene

The go-to place in Indy for both skilled piercers and talented tattoo artists. Takes walk ins and appointments.

ken kaufman

It was really fun I got my ears pierced 2s and I'm hoping to get them done again love then and my ears piercing turned out it turned out so good five stars

Mark Ramsey

I was tattooed by Nathan he did a awesome job and very down to earth i will defiantly be back to get my next one by him

Gabby Guthrie

HORRIBLE. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Got a smiley piercing and was told that it would look off because I had “scar tissue” there so there wasn’t much skin. I assumed she would recommend to not get it if would look weird but she seemed like she was in a hurry to get it done. I had called beforehand to make sure of the cost and was told $45 including jewelry, was never told ”depending on jewelry”. I asked for a different style and I was never told there was a price difference until it was time to pay. The artist had a very strong cigarette scent which I think is very unprofessional considering how close she had to be to me for this procedure. When I looked in the mirror and saw how uneven and crooked my piercing looked she had an attitude and seemed like she was trying to argue with me about it. I walked out of this place extremely upset. Would never go back or recommend this place to anyone.

Kenny Emmans

I went here today with my gf and daughter. Between the 3 of us we got 5 tattoos (w/o an appointment, mind you). Nathan Richardson did all of our tats and was a total rock star!! On 1 of my gf's tats she was having a rough time because of the pain and he was very compassionate and helped her to relax enough to finish. It was a long day, but VERY WELL worth it and we will ALL be back to see Nathan and the crew at the shop on S. East St.

April Rash-Choate

Love Danielle and Nate

Kaylee Hamilton

Before going here I read through all the other reciews as many do and was like okay we will try it they sound pretty good. I am very happy my cousin and I decided to go here they are very friendly and professional. I was very nervous to get my tragus done but it was fast and painless. Along with great pricing! Will be going back!

steven Birt

I can’t say enough about how nice this shop is. Clean with some very talented artists.

Julia Proctor

Ty done the tattoo on my neck & I loved it! Definitely have found my new artist!

Tina Mitchell

Did an awesome job

Oludolapo Jimi-Bada

Got my tragus pierced for $35 and it wasn't as painful as I imagined, more like a sharp pressure on my ear for about 2 seconds. Clean place and fast service. You don't need to make an appointment to get piercings done. And payment in cash is preferred, however, there is an ATM in the shop.

tori stewart

Came here tonight and got a tattoo by Nick Peterson. I would suggest never going to him. Can't even do line work. Will never return to this shop. He will charge you $140 for crappy work, lines that are not straight and don't expect both sides to match. This literally has to be on my body for the rest of my life. This is bs. Go back not even 20 minutes later and says he can't do anything about it "till it heals". NEVER GO TO NICK PETERSON.

Ronald Eickleberry

Wonderful place have great customer service and great work clint is a awesome tattoo artist

Sarah Chaney

This will always be my go to place for tattoos and piercings. Lesley is a great artistic , and calmed my nerves on getting my first tattoo. James, who I believe floats around between a few places, pierced nose here as well. My mother and sister use this shop as well. Over all I’ve had great experiences , and will continue to come back!

Joshua Wooten

Visit Rob he does awesome work!

Boogie Bell

Nate was awesome! The shop is always clean and the staff is very helpful and good at hooking you up with the right artist for what you want done. Best place in indy, in my opinion.

Breee

I've gotten every tattoo and every piercing here. My first was at 17 (with parents consent). Ty is amazing and the only tattoo artist I'll ever let tattoo me. And Danielle is an amazing piercer. I got my nipples done about a year and a half ago, and she made the environment so relaxed. It was very quick and the pain wasn't nearly as bad as i would have thought.

Kimberli Thomas

I had my first tattoo done last week by Miles. Love the tattoo!! He did an excellent job.

lisa hawn

Awesome work. Awesome people. I am over the moon with my artwork.

Amie Boles

Daith piercing for me and my sister in law today. Very nice , very sanitary. Cool shop. Excellent experience.

Kayla O'Day

Very professional, did a great job.

Caleb Skirvin

GF had her nose pierced and it was quick and easy. Love this place!

Braxton Bowersock

I just had a tattoo from Artistic Skin Design and would definitely recommend them shout out to Nick he made me feel comfortable and not as nervous for it being my first tattoo. Nick did a tremendous job and made sure I got everything I wanted for my first tattoo he showed he cared and that's what us buyers really care about. One thing that could be worked on is it is kinda loud in there but overall great experience

Tracey Blair

Ty did the best jobs on my tattoos and in fact going tomorrow to see him so he can give my husband his first ink & then going to have him do me another tattoo

Donald Moulder

Nice staff and professional. Ty did an awesome job on my cover up tat.

Heather Conner

I've had several pieces done here as well as some piercings. some of the crew has changed over the years, but Danielle did my piercings and the guy name slammed and one of my tattoos. I had another artist but forget his name, they have always been extremely clean and professional. Highly recommend

Ray

Did a great job and the ink stayed nice and dark. Quality job!

Philippe Steele

Nick, Thank you so much for the kick ass eagle tattoo you gave me! Every time I look at it I like it even more if that is possible! I am looking forward to collaborating with you on next tattoo! Oh and on a more general note, the studio is neat and all the staff are friendly and helpful. I'll be going back, that's for sure!

Lisa Murphy

The guy that did my tattoo was Rob. He did exactly what i wanted an it looks great one of my favorite pieces. The people there were nice an clean. Definitely going back for another one.

Amanda Baker

Danielle Sullivan

Great staff great skills, very clean and welcoming place

Lionel Gray

This place was awesome. Very professional and welcoming.

Cassidy Sams

Danielle was great kind, clean and worked with me as I was being picky!!

Quite Storm

Great service

StinkyBooger Woodring

Tattoo artist was very reasonable. Good prices. He always asked our opinion. Made our experience spectacular. Very highly recommended. Very clean establishment.

Merannda Best

I got my first tattoo here and the guy did a great job. He made sure that it looked exactly how I wanted it and he made me feel very comfortable because I was extremely nervous. I have heard a lot of bad things about people who get bad lettering but he did a great job on mine. The price was a lot less than I expected and its a very clean shop. Everyone is friendly! I would highly reccomend it.

Life Lizzie's Way

Got my conch pierced here a few months ago. Danielle is amazing! My ear is really small and she worked with its shape to make the placement prefect for my ear even though it wasn’t the traditional placement. I love everything about my piercing! The shop was super clean and all of the staff was nice.

Sophia Rasmussen

Only place I will get a tattoo, Hank is awesome!!!

Siouxzanna Keller

My friend and I got our nipples pierced here a couple months ago. It was very clean place and the piercer, Danielle, was amazing ! She made it a comfortable environment and was very knowledgeable about what she was doing. After over Googling some of my healing side effects I was convinced that I had an infection so I called her in a panic and she was able to see me within the hour, she quickly eased my nerves and fixed my problem free of charge ! I would recommend Danielle to anyone looking to get a peircing of any kind.

Rosemarie Cravens

Very skilled staff.

Dean Qualls

Professionals at their best. Knowledge with their services and bent over backwards to even save a few dollars.

Carly McCarthy

My sister and I came in to get matching tattoos and they were able to get us an artist, a quote, and get us set-up for a same-day appointment! The staff was super friendly, and Clinton did a great job with my sister and I's first tattoo. He made sure we had an enjoyable experience and loved our tattoos. Definitely would recommend this place whether its your first time or not!

Cindy Stockhaus

Ty did an amazing job!

Megan Gill

Always my favorite place to get pierced. So good and clean. Highly recommend! Walked in and out in about 20 mins. Small shop but great atmosphere!

Heather Behrendt

Dannielle is amazing. She changed out multiple piercings for me and did my nostril. Didn't hurt at all and looks fantastic. Highly recommended!
