Larry Ivy

Jacob Wethington

Dane's the man! Light handed and awesome attitude! I will never get tattooed by anyone else. The other guys that tattoo here are rad too

Amanda Works

Dustin is top of the line when it comes to tattoos. He is super friendly and laid back and really talented. He makes the experience all about you but is willing it help out with his artistic opinion. His art is fire

Matthew Morgan

I'm going to keep this short and sweet. There is an artist at this shop for anything you could possibly want tattooed. Super clean shop and an amazing crew. If you want a tattoo in Indianapolis, I would recommend literally any one of the artists here to give you the best tattoo you have ever gotten.

Kelsey Collins

Dane and crew are some of the most talented artists around, both in the tattoo world and other mediums. I know that I can trust Dane entirely to put solid work into his art which I proudly display on my body. Other artists are friendly and helpful, the shop is clean, and communications are handled promptly. Due to his skill Dane is often booked weeks in advance but is absolutely well worth the wait. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Lynzi Stringer

Best shop in town, hands down. Some of Indy's most talented tattoo artists. Very clean shop, professional and fun atmosphere, and walls adorned with beautiful artwork. Nice and sociable artists. Just all around a great shop.

Hexaholic JP

Went in to visit. Friendly, cool vibe, and plenty of great artists. Will probably be booking some work here soon

D Harris

Very versatile and talented artists. Reasonable pricing for the quality of work you will receive. Insanely clean. It's just a fun environment to get tattooed in. Everyone is laid back and hilarious. I definitely recommend everyone check this place out.

Brittney Bradley

These guys are legit and Brian Mcnulty is a god. Spend your money here!

Amber Engelking

Michael's Floor Care

Drew Walsman

I love the new shop. Great layout and interactive. I have been getting tattooed by Bart for years. He always does a great job and has the wildest ideas. Just got a sweet pizza tattoo by Dustin. Everyone is great and does superior work!

Kate Bates

Dane has given me 5 tattoos and I get complimented on them every single day. SUCH a good dude, SUCH a cool shop, and two of the artists (Dane and April) are currently KILLING IT on Ink Master. Get over there and get inked, y'all!

Sabrina Nguyen

Went for their 4/20 special. Don't know how they decided to choose which artists to do the special but I knew of Annie and Devan. I was worked on a different artist tho, I messaged him the next day expressing my concerns about the tattoo he did on my ankle. I wasn't too pleased with my 'cat' after all. He tells me he travels for work so he won't be at FS till the week after...I expressed my concerns about how the cat I got on my ankle didn't look anything like a cat...more like a rat. After expressing this he tells me 'yeah i think if we add whiskers it'll look better'... I've even tried to draw on cat whiskers on the cat and it still doesn't make a difference, still a rat. But I'm just confused why he rushed me out of the chair so quickly but was thinking that without expressing it to me right then that he wasn't 100% with the tattoo either. I respectfully asked him if I can get a second opinion on the tattoo and he gave me the OK. So I went to a different shop in Warshaw, they acknowledged to me that there was a lot of dead tissue buildup on top, he was so heavy handed he punctured into the third layer of my skin hence caused it to feel raised up. I'm a nude model, this 'rat-cat' will be exposed in all my photography images so I had to get a coverup ASAP. Waited two weeks, now we are covering it up with a sunflower, two-three sessions for the coverup to be completely covered , they felt bad for my situation and offered me the first coverup session for free. Sad situation but it will be fixed with patients. I don't have a problem with this tattoo shop, there are artists who work there full time and are great artists. My friend also got a tattoo from the special and hers turned out amazing, Devan did hers tho so there was no doubt in his work.

patrick burton

Another great experience with Annie.

Dennis Ray

Nice, Friendly place Mr. Smith is a professional artist he does everything requested with patience and to perfection.. 5 Star

Sarah Wilburn

Devan rocks! Amazing artist and does great tattoo work too! He refreshed an old sleeve for me and I could not be happier with the result and experience. I would suggest him to anyone.

Ryanne Wise

This shop is filled with some of the raddest people in Indianapolis! The work is phenomenal, pricing is great, and the people are charismatic and SO awesome. They do great work, and they know exactly how to turn your ideas into an awesome tattoo! 10/10 would recommend.

Keygan Matlock

FOUNTAIN SQUARE TATTOO (Artistic skin design). is the only shop I've been to in the last 2 or 3 years I've been to other shops that when I walked in it felt awkward but when I come in to FST I feel comfortable it's very inviting the artist are really easy to talk to it's a fun time in the shop everybody knows how barber shops are right it's basically that the work the do is amazing and they always exceeded my expectations or pulled exactly what I wanted right out of my head and slapped it on my skin. I am happy with all the work that I have done by them and will have many more to come I mean Dane Smith And April Nicole Are on ink master and killing it so I say yes go here

Stephanie Zki

Such a cool vibe in this new shop. As soon as you walk in, you can feel that you are in a quality place. Everyone was friendly and helpful. My tattoo is so awesome. I'm so pleased with how it came out. Dane Smith made me feel like we were working together to find what I wanted but yet curb me to smart decisions on placement and size. Will definitely return. I also had a tattoo by April-Nicole a few years back when she worked in New York - LOVE HER!!! Such a fun and friendly and super artsy lady. My foot tattoo still looks great after all these years because she did it right! Recommend this shop.

Cliffdiver97

Chill and friendly staff and artists with reasonable prices. The most important and crucial thing though is, they do excellent work! Just had a big piece done on my right arm, which took well over an hour, looks amazing, and only charged $100. If you want great work done, I recommend asking for Brian.

Squeaks Deviant

Since moving to Indiana I have been going to see Devan for all of my work. The shop and staff are always professional but still laid back and fun. I'm a fan of all of their individual artwork and have never had a negative experience here. I recommend everyone who stops me and asks me about my work to go here.

Lenda Humphrey

April Nicole has been tattooing me for about 6 years! This shop and the artists are unbelievably talented. It's not just the raw artistic talent but the atmosphere of kindness and humor that makes the experience! My tattoos get me stopped in public almost daily and I get to send them to this shop to my people! Fountain square is such an awesome place with a cat cafe and delicious restaurants and now this tattoo shop! #inkmasterseason9

jeremy chastain

Crazy good artists with a range of styles that want you to leave happy!

Darren Carter

The only place to go for a tattoo.

Katie Morgan

Fountain Square Tattoo is the only shop I will go to for my ink. All of the artists at the shop are insanely talented, professional, and friendly! The shop is super clean and has plenty of beautiful artwork to look at. Dane and Devan have done all 3 of my tattoos and I plan on going back for my next piece.

cara collis

All around good vibes. Awesome artists! Fair prices for top quality artwork. 10/10

kim denton

Great artists, fun atmosphere! Dane and April-Nichole are professional artists, who do some pretty amazing work! Highly recommend this tattoo shop, as there are several artists, all unique in styles and you won't leave disappointed.

Catherine Cardwell

I love this shop! Great artists and environment. Have had two tattoos so far with the talented Devan Smith. Love them both, especially my Wonder Woman thigh piece. Professional and creative. Get thee to this shop!

Sharon Hallett

Best artists around Indy, hands down. I've been tattooed by several of the artists at this shop over the last year and a half and I honestly haven't been to any other shop since. Not only are the artists at the shop just awesome people, but their work speaks for itself. I can't count how many compliments I've gotten on the tattoos they've done for me. I even started carrying their cards with me, just because so many people were asking! Best shop, experience, and artists around. You definitely won't ever regret getting a tattoo from any of these guys!

Clarisse Fligor

I have been getting tattooed by these folks for years and am happy to see them get a new shop and bring so many amazing artists into one shop! The environment is charming and inviting and I have never had a bad experience. They produce quality work and offer an enjoyable experience even though you are getting stabbed by needles for hours! Always the very first shop I recommend to people looking to get tattoo and I get complimented on the work I have gotten done all the time.

Bruce Schwering

Great experience with expert artist. Fair prices, quality work, and good people. Best shop Ive been to.

Amanda Tharp

Love this place! Amazing vibes warm welcomes and ridiculously talented artists! Best shop in town!

Colton Wetzel

Great atmosphere and lots of talented artists. Highly recommend

Samantha Ferguson

Dane is amazing! He has done my first tattoo years ago still looks brand new. He also about a month ago did my sons memorial tattoo on my mom and it was the most beautiful tattoo ever. I couldn't be more pleased. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun.

Ryan Forney

I have had two full sleeves done by Dane Smith from fountain square tattoo. I cannot even begin to explain how pleased I am with my tattoos and my overall experience. Dane was always prepared, on time, and eager to get to work. He is extremely talented and easy to work with. Every idea he developed was spot on to what I wanted. I trusted him with every tattoo and he never disappointed. I am constantly asked and complimented on my work and I always have the pleasure to recommend my friend Dane Smith. The shop and everyone in it are extremely talented and genuinely good people. I highly reccomend anyone wanting a tattoo to go here!

Trevor Hyde

Great shop. Great people. Great artists. I had Devin tattoo my sleeve. And going back for next arm hopefully soon.

Delly Marie

I was very lucky to be able to get this piece done by Dane with living 3 hours away. Had the best experience during. Very relaxing and comfortable place to be in. was defiantly easy for me to have a good conversation with the people in there to keep my mind off during the process. I've had this for almost a year and still in love with how it turned out. Still get many positive compliments on it and would for sure go back to get more work.

Shannon Wiseman

I went to April to add to/fix a tattoo I got at another shop. In less than three hours she free-handed a beautiful new design for me. Super happy with the results. The atmosphere was fun and lively and all of the artists are extremely talented. I'll definitely be going back for more ink!

Light Matter Promotions

Devan Smith is so creative, go see him.

Amanda SB

Garret gave my husband and I unbelievable tattoos for a great price. The space is very sanitary. It's a fun environment with interesting conversation happening all around during the process.

travis swalley

little Chicago

I absolutely love this shop! All of the artists are amazing and super friendly. I won't go anywhere else. Annie and Dane have done multiple awesome pieces for me and I can't wait to go back to get more!

Cody Griffith

Wife got a nice little tat! Very professional

Olen Gravel

The folks here run a clean, friendly, and professional shop. My wife and I got some quick work done to celebrate our vacation and our artist Brian Mcnulty was quick and did a great job.

Mickey Marsh

This is one of the only shops I will go to, the second one I've ever been tattooed at, and the only one I've been to since! The only one I trust! I consider these people my buddies after being tattooed. Willing o hug and way too affordable. Love these guys

Cari Deyo

Top quality art from everyone that works there! This crew is so talented, from tattoo's to sculptures to paintings and prints. Creativity is oozing from this place and I'm SO glad they are in Fountain Square! Dane and Devan have both done work for me and they are hilarious and wonderful guys to work with. Keep being cool kids

Seth Johnson

I trust the work of the artists. That should be the real and only thing that matters with a human canvas. I guess if you like nice people, this is a good place for that too.

Jessie Browne

Annie is talented, kind, and accommodating. I'm very happy to have finally found "my" tattoo artist. The actual studio space is very cool, with a laid back, weirdo, artsy atmosphere. It's a fine place to hang out and get inked.

Kit Sheldon

Amazing shop! Clean, professional, and always busy turning out beautiful pieces. Devan, Dane, Annie, and April (as well as the rest of the artists) are knowledgeable and so great to work with!

amatelski26

Want amazing tattoos at good prices? Come here! Every artists in this shop is top notch, and the atmosphere is both professional and casual! This is the only place in indy I like to get tattooed, because the staff interacts well with each other and customers, and I always have fun when I go to this shop!

Crystal George

I give 5 stars. Brian is the one who did my tattoo. We had a breast cancer tattoo party and everyone's turned out awesome. He did an awesome job. I would definitely have him do more work for me in the future. Thank you.

Justin Oliver

Every artist at fountain square tattoo is beyond talented. Besides being talented some of the coolest dudes and chicks on the planet! Much love for this shop. I highly recommend this shop and every person is a badass. Party on!!

Chantel Pelz

This is the best shop in the WORLD!!! Love all these artists. They make you feel at home and theyre hands down the best. Great attitudes and all around great at what they do. I've been going to Dane Smith for the last 6 years and I will …

Aaryn Martin

I refuse to go anywhere else. Dustin Leach is my artist and I can say without a doubt that every artist in there is super nice, professional, talented, and attentive. It's obviously a top notch, clean and comfortable shop.

Ashley Cutter

Devan was awesome! I would highly recommend him!!!!

Ashlyn Grimes

Brian was the person who did my tattoo. At first he responded quickly and gave reasonable quotes for the tattoos that I asked to be quoted. I was a little skeptical as to why he could always respond so fast considering I would have thought he would be working but I didn't think twice about it till now. I gave him my number in the emails after all was set and done and was waiting on a sketch. A few days went past and still no sketch and it's now quite sometime after he said he would have had the sketch to me. I wasn't sure if something happened and he wasn't replying to any of my emails on the day of that I'm supposed to be getting the tattoo. I simply just called the shop and the lady on the phone confirmed my appointment at 3. When I get to the shop everyone seemed really nice. Brian explained that the picture of the sketch wouldn't go through in email but that doesn't mean he couldn't have called or texted or even just reply to the email where I had asked if the appointment is still on. So he shows me the sketch and I loved it. Long story kinda shorter... he overworked the bottom of the tattoo like crazy so much so I cant even make out some of the roses. The tattoo took a lot longer than he thought it would have and he had other customers coming in after me. Knowing this he rushed the top of my tattoo. There are many places at the top of the tattoo where he has went out of the lines, missed places and the line work isn't the best. There's one place on a pedal maybe where it looks like he just ran the tattoo gun over it once and that's all because there's just hundreds of tiny dots there within a inch(picture is attached). Also towards the top I have a green blowout where he went to deep into my skin. The healing process was awful. The third day I had huge thick scabs on the bottom of the tattoo where he overworked the tattoo. You can see where he missed a lot of spots with shading. Since he didn't plan time very well this tattoo was rushed, he gave me no time to look at the tattoo and say what I did and didn't like, and when I asked about aftercare he told me to not use fragrance lotions and that's all, then we were rushed out the door so he could help the people after me. My arm was swollen, red, and painful for weeks(it shouldn't have lasted near as long as it did). During the process he even told me he knows he's really kicking my ass with this tattoo because of time... he was doing the top part of the tattoo extremely fast. I took no breaks for myself and I never moved. Also he doesn't talk much at all (that's fine) but when you do talk to him he makes you feel like he wants you to stop. This has been the worst tattoo experience of my life and now I have awful scaring on my arm, and am embarrassed to show people this tattoo and I have to find someone new to redo the entire thing. Some places are so dark I might even have to have some lasered off to have it redone. I was going to have him touch up some of my other tattoos but we obviously ran out of time and I will defiantly never go back. I'm not saying don't go to Fountain Square Tattoo... I'm saying think twice about having Brian as your tattoo artists. You may regret it.

Charlotte Murphey

I got my first tattoo here recently and had such a wonderful experience. I love my tattoo (thank you again to Bart) and everyone I met there was not only professional, they were very friendly and kind. If I ever get another tattoo there's only one place I will want to go!

Chase McCrocklin

Absolutely the best tattoo shop I have ever been to. The customer service was amazing and the prices were below what I was expecting. The only place I will be going from now on!

Drew Powell

Had some good vibes, the people were nice and wasnt too expensive, glad i got mine done there.

Kelsey Bishop

I have 3 tattoos that were done by April! I love them so much. She did my very first tattoo and the experience couldn't have been better. I was really nervous but she made me feel really comfortable. She is really easy to work with when coming up with designs. The shop is really clean and really awesome. I highly recommend them. I won't go anywhere else.

Sidney Henry

I have been going to this shop for over a year to get tattooed by Annie- every experience/tattoo has been a great one. Amazing shop with many kind and talented artists.

Teri Claws

Amazing!!

Olivia Weathers

I got my first tattoo with Brian today and couldn't be happier! Everyone was so nice. I gave him a picture close to what I wanted and turned it into something I love. The price was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend!

Cynthia May

We LOVE Fountain Square!

Juliana Hehn

April did mine, my mom's, and my sisters first tattoos and did a phenomenal job!!! We sent her a few photos of what we had in mind & she drew up exactly what we wanted! I've gone back for another two since & won't go to anyone else!

James Hurt

April is amazing, she gave my wife her first tattoo!

Taylor Lampela

I had an incredible experience at Fountain Square Tattoos. The shop was very welcoming and a chill atmosphere. I got a beautiful tattoo by Kodi. I highly recommend! Parking is free on Virginia Street to the west of the shop. East of the shop is 2 hour parking, so be aware if you have a longer session. I will definitely be coming back here for more work!

Alaine Honeycutt

Did outstanding on my water color tattoo! Xoxo

Clarke Hedges

This is a wonderful tattoo shop, full of great artist. There are many artist with many styles and personalities, so I believe they have a little something for everyone.

MINDBLOWN

Dustin Leach is a wonderful artist who works here at Fountain Square Tattoo and I highly recommend him to everyone if you are in the market for a solid one of a kind tattoo by a top notch artist!

Whitney Brew

All the artists at this shop have genuine skill! The shop is clean, in a good location and the artists are friendly and willing to listen to you. I'd reccomend this shop to anyone looking for a great tattoo!

Vic Phan

Great group of people and artists with respectful standards and morals. Even denied a person named JM (that gave a 1 star review) because he treated and wrote a rude message to their secretary. I love that they can do beautiful work and are still able to maintain composure from undeserving people.

Chuck O'Donaghey

Great artists. Both Bart and Brian were great. Clean shop.

Randall Long

Working with Dane on a full sleeve. I would have to say that just the first day session, I could see not only that everyone was highly experienced but very kind. Everyone in the shop made it feel like a very welcoming atmosphere. Dane in …

Amy Ranbarger

Dane is an amazing artist. I will never go to another place or have another artist. This place is not a joke. They truly know what they are doing. The work fountain square tattoo does, makes the other shops work look like it was drawn with a sharpie. This place is amazing

Bill Blaze

every artist at this place is a beast!!! there are no bad tattoos coming out of this place...

Michael

An always welcoming place. Dustin Leach hooked me up with an amazing tattoo in honor of a special day/person. Looking forward to my next tattoo on the list.

Stephanie Shaner

Garrett was amazing and designed a tattoo that was exactly what I was looking for. Place was clean. Prices were fair. Would like to schedule an apt for a touch up on a different tattoo from another place!

Ben Peters

Some of the best people/artist in this city work in this shop. They take great care for each person they tattoo. They show a great love for the craft that each and every one of them are involved in. Many different types of styles here to choose from and you'll never leave disappointed. This shop is nothing but great tattoos and solid conversation.

Karlie Vandagrifft

A shop full of true tattoo artists, and I emphasize artists. Fairly priced for incredible work while also being tatted by some rad dudes and dudettes who you won't mind putting you in pain for a few hours. I have a plethora of friends that also are loyal to these artists, and I have only seen high quality and original tattoos.

Kara Hanley

April was incredible! Her skills are amazing and her pieces turn out amazing! The shop is clean and has a very fun environment! I would recommend this shop if you are looking to get a tattoo

Liz Bowman

Annie was the very best! She is so chill and made me feel super comfortable and welcome. The shop was clean, organized and comfy. Not too cold or too hot, and the music they were playing was chill and not too loud either! Couldn't have asked for a better experience, will for sure be coming back for another piece!!

Brandi Shepard

I got a leg sleeve done by Dane! He is the coolest and most humble tattoo artist I've ever met. I drive all the way from Cincinnati to be tattooed by him since his work is so incredible and he's such a nice dude. Devin, April, and Annie are all also amazing artists who are super cool as well. This shop is definitely full of great people and tattoo artists.

Sarah Davis

Great new shop in Indy! I haven't visited yet, but have work from two of the artists who opened it, and know that they are honest and hardworking, as well as phenomenal artists. Devan created a beautiful and meaningful custom piece for me that is my absolute favorite tattoo. I also have original art by April, that is in a more visible place, so I get TONS of complements on it. The new place looks beautiful! I can't wait to get more work done there. You guys are the best!

Drew Ursic

Got my first tattoo with Brian and would recommend him to anyone in need of an artist. Great dude and easy to get along with, was very helpful in explaining his process. In addition to that, the rest of the shop had a nice vibe about them and made the entire experience enjoyable. Great place and I'll be back to work with Brian on other ideas.
