Tawnie Pike

Fantastic business with a professional staff. You could not ask for a better tattoo and piercings shop. I would highly recommend them over any shop in south bend. Clean, safe, professional at all times.

Michala Zappia

I came here on my 18th birthday to get my second and third lobe piercings. I was a little nervous as I have never been pierced with a free hand needle (I've gotten two other piercings, both of which were guns). I had called a week prior and asked about pricing, the girl I talked to was very friendly and down to earth. She gave me the necessary information, and she spoke to me as if she was an old friend, while still maintaining a professional attitude. When I arrived I was greeted with a friendly welcome and smiles. I was surprised to see how clean and relaxing the atmosphere was. I told them I was there to get my ears pierced and they asked for my ID, promptly wished me a happy birthday, and handed me the consent forms. As I filled them out, the girl told me she would go back to prep the room. I browsed the tattoo designs as I waited and she came out to get me and my boyfriend. We went back to the piercing room, which resembled a doctors office, but frankly was WAYYY cleaner. All her tools were kept on a medical tray. She marked my ears with a toothpick and loose ink (seemed much more sanitary than a permanent marker). Then she took out the needles, wrapped individually with the each earring. I was soooo nervous but she was very nice, calming, and conversational. She put the needle to my ear, had me take a seal breath, and next thing I know she was done! It was amazing. Barely any pain at all, just a slight poke. I was shocked! I haven't had any issues since!! They are barely sore, I haven't had much gunk around the piercings like I've had in the past. All around the expert has been GREAT!! I will definitely be back to Marvel!!!

Alexis Ethridge

Larry was great did a beautiful job on my first tattoo ! Made it quick and exactly what I wanted . Words don't do his work justice , a picture needs to be seen. Friendly dude and everyone else was super nice as well. Gonna schedule another tat very soon!

Jackaline Hurrle

Went in last month to get my friend a piercing for her birthday. Lexi was super helpful and got us in and out in no time. Very clean shop with helpful and friendly staff.

Tammy Yanson

To busy and not enough people actually working. They promised to do 2 tattoos and only did one, with 3 other people playing video games and eating. Was quoted $70 was charged $80.tattoo turned out great.

Queen Jae Janae

Very friendly people! Everyone is helpful and they are sanitary! I recommend!

I went there for a Rook piercing in my ear. I loved it. The staff was super knowledgeable and even though I was nervous, it went great! Very quick and thorough. I could tell that they knew what they were doing! I will be back!! Maybe for another tattoo!!

Jeff Feick

Really knowledgeable staff! Have gotten many tattoos at different shops and I will now be a regular here!

Ash H

Amazing, super friendly, neat facility with awesome artists (thanks so much Todd & Steven)! Todd did my watercolor wolf tattoo on my upper arm about a year ago and just touched it up for me today. Though the wolf was my first tattoo, Todd …

Emily Schmeltz

Marvel is by far my favorite tattoo shop in this area, they are extremely professional when it comes to their work but also great company to be around! All of the artists do amazing work and are all very talented. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to get a tattoo or piercing! I highly recommend them to anyone that asks for a recommendation.

Sam Gingerich

I have gotten all 4 of my piercings done here and will continue coming back! They are quick, respectful, and a reasonable price for what they do. Highly recommend!

Theresa Robertson

Had a tatoo done about 7 yrs. ago, went in and Larry fixed me up, made it look amazing.

Lindsey Hull

My three tattoos have been done here at Marvel and I'm absolutely in love with them! Todd is a talented tattoo artist and knows exactly what I want. Not to mention, the place is very clean and everyone who works there is super friendly. …

Timothy Hockemeyer

We love both the piercer, Anna, and the tattoo artists here. Their work is high quality, their piercer is super professional and meticulously places piercings. Their tattoo artists are wonderful from lettering and line work to refreshing tattoos, to beautiful original pieces. You can't go wrong there.

Brittany Williams

They hooked me up with a new septum piece because mine was stripped. Got rainbow titanium. Thanks guys!!

Abigail Lopez

Great service and high quality work! The place is clean and inviting, the staff are friendly and I haven't had problems with any of my piercings or my tattoo. I've referred several friends here and they enjoyed the atmosphere as well.

britiny chevrie

The shop is nice and clean. Much bigger than it looks from the street. The piercing room was very clean and smelled of sanitizer. Prices are about normal on piercing. $30or 35 for my nose piercing with the jewelry. Piercer was very friendly and coached all the way thru the process. Very nice establishment and people.

Karie Colborn

Ryan is fantastic!! Love his work & he is fun !

Atalanta Faletogo

Anna was super nice and made the whole experience easy and painless

Chelsea Dowd

Ryan is the best!!! Great atmosphere and awesome tattoos!

Ashley Van Tornhout

Awesome place and awesome people. Rebecca and Anna have done my last several piercings and I absolutely love those girls!

Amber Zumbrun

I have had two tattoos done here and a piercing and I am beyond thrilled with all of them. Not only did both of the artists (Ryan and Bill) do an amazing job at drawing up my designs, but the quality of work is excellent and priced fairly. I will definitely be coming back for more ink in the future.

James Helfrich

Lots of artistic talent in this shop. Very friendly and accommodating people.

Aoife Rose Carey

Super disappointed with my last piercing. Got my Tragus pierced and wasn’t really told how to clean it properly other than twice a day with dial soap and sss (sea salt soak). It continuously got swollen and bled, it even started producing green goop. I developed hypertrophic scaring and was told to “pop it like a pimple”. Every single time I went back with issues with the piercing (like the jewelry falling out) I was constantly told different things. I was told to wash it twice a day, then told to only wash it once every two days or even in the shower while washing my hair... I was also told to turn the jewelry to clean the inside. They told me to use tea tree oil, clean it with dial soap, and use an antiseptic if it got red again. My piercing never got better, it just kept getting worse! After them messing up so much I decided it was best to go to a different place, so I went to Bicycle tattoo instead. I was literally told to clean it three times a day with saline spray, leave it alone and don’t move it at all. Don’t use any sprays like antiseptic, or tea tree oil, or even Dial soap. They told me that “popping” a hypertrophic scar was the worst possible thing to do. Everything Marvel told me to do was wrong. It might have been ok in the 90’s, but not nowadays. I’m just really let down by their unprofessionalism honestly. I needed help, and I certainly didn’t get it from Marvel.

Ranna Quimby

Clean shop! Love Erika! She is amazing!

Jacob Parks

Clean, friendly and they do great work. I recommend Erika! I have a few pieces by her, including a complete half-sleeve.

Angel Sims

Anna was awesome! My daughter and I went in for some piercings. Great job!

vaughn herter

Really great shop, friendly people with variance of talents and most importantly consistency.

Briana Gates

My sister and I got tattoos done on Friday. Bill was our artist and he did an amazing job.

Tammy Tinch

Left with a hole in my leg that took months to heal, scheduled month in advance for 2 of us. Only had one appt scheduled. Wasn't prepared set picture month in advance not drawn up when we arrived. Had to wait a long time. Staff didn't really care

Jacob Watts

Great shop. Friendly and well-trained staff. Appreciate the work! Will definitely recommend.

gavyn mutman

These guys are awesome, I had a gauge stuck in my ear and they were able to get it out and didn't even charge me!

Michaela Reeder

My fiancé and I have been coming to Marvel frequently for a while now. I had tried a few different shops before that I had disliked and I thought I finally found the one place who had gotten it right. But tonight, Rebecca was to pierce my vertical labret. Rebecca has done the majority of my piercings and I absolutely adore them but this piercing ended up being crooked and just not quite right. Noticing that it wasn't how it seemed, my fiancé called the shop to express our concern and was told to tell me to let it heal and we can do it over. It is to my understanding that they said we would have to pay again, from what I could hear from my place away from the phone. So at this point I was like 'mistakes happen, this can be fixed but I'm still upset,y'know?' So we went elsewhere to get a second opinion and see if it really was crooked or if I was delusional. The piercing was crooked and unsatisfactory so we had it removed, because who would want to go around with something they didn't enjoy on their face? After getting it removed, we returned to Marvel to speak with Rebecca and she didn't seem keen on speaking to us. She refused to admit it was crooked, told us she couldn't redo it because somebody else took it out, blamed the appearance on the swelling although the holes are visibly crooked, and didn't offer us any other options. It was a slap to the face to be treated this way by one of our favorite stores to visit. We frequent Marvel more than any other place we travel to, and it was one of my all time favorites until tonight when I was made to feel at fault for something that easily could have been dealt with without all of these tears and the drama. I'm very disappointed that someone I looked up to has let me down tonight. I still have the highest respects for the shop as a whole and their cleanliness and knowledge, I'm just very hurt at the customer service tonight and I don't think I will be returning. 40 dollars down the drain and now I have a splinter in my heart.

Lukas Huston

They did an awesome job on my tattoo! I would definitely go back!

Emma Griesinger

I have been twice here for a piercing and they are very professional, clean, and friendly. My friend and dad both have gotten their tattoo there and both had amazing experiences. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who would ask.

k. Kelly

The absolute ONLY place I will go to get all of my tattoos done. Ryan Adams is very professional, spends time to listen to what you want and never makes you feel like your tattoo is stupid or like he’s not going to waste his time on small projects. As he was doing my half sleeve, several people came in to speak to him about potential tattoos. He was very kind to every person. We did a four hour session starting on a half sleeve that will soon be turned into a whole sleeve. This tattoo was a very emotional contribution to my father that I lost two years prior. Ryan took my ideas and drew out an amazing tattoo. He was very kind and made this tattoo as heartfelt and as meaningful as he could. I’m beyond grateful that I had him do this tattoo for me because I honestly don’t think anyone else could’ve come close to doing a better job. I will be back to see Ryan for the top half of this sleeve without a doubt. Thank you Ryan for making this tattoo experience amazing!!!

Dana Lee

Real clean place and pple are nice

kris kanaley

Fantastic artists and staff. My wife and I have now had 4 different tattoos done there and along with 3 different piercings, and we're planning on returning for more. Nothing but great experiences there

Glori Sorenson

i went here twice. once for my first upper cartilage piercing and a second for another 2 cartilage right below. my first piercing was anna, who explained everything well and within a month or so my piercing was healed, without pain, and easy to change. the second time i went a different lady pierced my ear. the two piercings i got were a nightmare. she pierced them too close together and were pierced at an angle rather than straight through. the center one never healed and i had to take it out after about 9 months because it was so painful. i kept the bottom one even though it was hard to wear jewelry in it. i got these in april of last year and it is now march. the bottom piercing STILL gives me trouble and i can only wear studs in it since it’s angled. it’s been a year and i still find it often being extremely sore, especially after sleeping on it. i went to this place because i thought i was making an investment in paying more for my piercing, but it turns out i just paid for $70 worth of trouble.

Michelle Pettit

we have the best tattoo artist! call marvel and ask for Bill!! He is the best!! Marvel is clean and friendly!

ashleigh marie

I had my belly button pierced, and Lexie was so amazing and made sure i felt safe and confident. She is so re assuring and does a great job! I love it

antoinette waite

Erica was by far the best artist I've ever had. I will be back.

Devin Shirley

Great shop. I had my second tattoo done by Larry and he did a phenomenal job. Designed a perfect tattoo based on what I wanted and recommended. Also, very little scabbing and quick healing process. This guy was so much better than my first. GO TO LARRY!

Aldrin Malakar

Me and my wife got Logo tattoos from an anime called one piece. I had Larry working on both of us. He did exactly what we asked, and it didn't cost us a fortune. Friendly and outgoing staff. They took us in, and helped us through since it was our very first time. Clean venue, very professional attitude. The bathroom could've been a little better but it's clean though. Not much to complain. Great staff, very nice people and friendly artists.

Beth Weldy

Walked in on 6/17/2018 and got an amazing tattoo without an appointment, they were very professional and accommating, would highly recommend them, thanks again for my new ink!!

Ben Herter

Pretty good not quite the best though

Carla Andresen

They are extremely friendly and professional

Jason Qualude

Excellent. i've had quite a few piercings over the years and this place was by far the best. Super friendly and clean. Will be coming back again. Thank you!

Anna Earl

We love Marvel Tattoo! Erika Meller is absolutely phenomenal to work with and such a talented artist. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Many of my family members have gotten tattoos with Erika and have all had great experiences with her as well. Everything was very clean and the atmosphere was calm and nice. I love my tattoo - so thankful for Erika!

Danielle Meehan

2nd piercing I've had done at Marvel. Awesome staff. Thorough, sanitary & patient. Only place I'll go!

Brandi Simental

Got matching tattoos with my mom, they were very knowledgeable, very clean and very friendly. Their prices were reasonable. I will definitely be going back!

Rebecca Warren

Super clean, friendly, knowledgeable and fast. My piercing artist (tiny, slender lady, think her name was Cassie?) was so good and knew EXACTLY the piercing I needed-especially type and length perfect for my nose. Love this place!

Alissa Knapp

I just got my second holes pierced! Lexie was such a bright soul! She truly cares about your experience at Marvel! And prices are so reasonable. Definitely recommend Marvel!

Tammy Alstott

Have had numerous tattoos done at Marvel, and every one is a masterpiece! Cleanest shop in town. The artists are personable and professional.

Lady Katie

I got a septum piercing back in May, it’s healed well so far and I haven’t had any problems, I’d definitely recommend, they’re really nice and make you feel comfortable.

Alexandria Scott

I really liked my industrial piercing from November 2017, until I realized that the earring I got from them wasn't long enough to be productive towards the healing of my ear. Now, the piercing that I've been wanting since 2008 is just one hole because a year later I had to have 2 separate piercings so they could heal correctly... one of them didn't heal correctly. I wish that would have known to have a longer industrial barbell to help my ear heal in the correct way...

Amy Nimtz

Friendly knowledgeable people and excellent service!! The selection of jewelry is very large... The tattoo work is also top notch!!!

Bobseaphus on PS4

Great place friendly people

Janel Balbo

Great place! Sterile equipment, friendly, knowledgable, & spacious.

Ria Riggs

Super fast very friendly and very informational! Cant wait to go back

Brittany Clark

Absolutely love this place. The people and the atmosphere rocks! Def my go to for myself, friends and family

charlie demske

Todd is simply amazing, cant recomend Marval Tattoo enough.

Alexandra Salcedo

I went in fir a consultation a few weeks prior. My artist and I had a brief discussion and he seemed to have a plan. When I came in he unfortunately seemed to of forgotten our plan! Which of course made me nervous, but I trusted him. I gave him my concept again, a picture and within 45 minutes I had a tattoo I didn't even anticipate and I am in love. The coloring is perfect, 3 days after the tattoo I have zero discomfort. The swelling has gone down, which is expected overall, and I couldn't be happier.

luz cruz

Just got my tattoo finished by Bill today, great experience for both appointments. Great rate for fantastic work. Can't wait to go back and get another one! Thanks Bill!

Erica Witte

Ryan A is amazing, I could not be happier with the designs for our very special tattoo's. Thank you so much

Chad Klein

42 and 1st piercing ever. I'm not the type of person that does this kind of thing and it was a huge leap. The woman was very kind and very good at what she does. I'm sorry I yelped in her face when she shoved that huge needle into my flesh... Lol. I was in and out in less that 20 minutes and I was back at work like nothing happened. Fantastic place!

Earl Ottman Jr.

This is an excellent tattoo shop! I had Erika do a Darth Vader/ Ahsoka Tano tattoo on me. I absolutely loved it! She does great work and is a talented artist! I would highly recommend this business and her for all of your tattoo needs! I will definitely be bringing my business back!!

Cameron Nolfo

I'm definitely not the type of person to write reviews for places, but I've gone to Marvel for a lot of my piercing and tattoo needs! The artist Stefan has tattooed me a few times and he is a friendliest, nicest, and most talented artist i have ever been to! no matter how many tattoos I get, he knows I still get a bit nervous when getting a tattoo, but he always makes sure I am comfortable and calm throughout the whole process. The piercer, who has done many many piercings on me- I do not know her name, she is a young woman, she is so lovely and is wonderful at her job and always makes her environment so inviting. I always leave that place so pleased with my body modifications and recommend Marvel to everybody!

aly glitter

i had gotten my first piercing done here and they were very nice. the staff were very professional and did their job quickly and cleanly. i felt safe and i felt like the piercing instruments were safely sanitized. would go again for any more piercings in the future!

kek kek

I've had a very good experience here! The shop is very clean and professional, homely, the staff are polite, outgoing, friendly, and very considerate when it comes to new clients or just regulars in general. When I went to get my first tattoo I asked for Ryan, and he was very patient and considerate the whole time I was there for my appointment. I'll be sure to come here again for any future piercings or tattoos. (:

Tom Blunier

1pm missed appointment. Showed up 15 min early to the appointment, the artist was obviously in middle of another tattoo. Waited for a half hour pretty obvious double booked. They said "we weren't in the computer" but had a slip with original call and tattoo design. I called the artist and spoke with him and emailed the shop 2 werks early (the receptionist was able to pull up my email the artist had not done this yet..) Refunded

Kayleigh Roeder

I recently had a tattoo done by Ryan and could not be happier with the outcome! Not only did he incorporate everything I wanted into the design, he added in little touches that really make the piece pop. I have a few other tattoos that I got done out of state and I have got to say, hands down, it was the best experience thus far...from start to finish. And waiting a month for my appointment was more than worth the wait!

Cammie Smith

I absolutely love this place! I go here specifically for all of my piercings. They only have females that do their piercings, that makes me more comfortable having a girl do my piercings. Never had any complaints!

Sarah Jamieson

Only place I go to get my tattoos. Every one there is really good, but Erika’s work my favorite. Would definitely recommend!

Heather Leasor

Excellant clean space. Staff very kind and answered all questions. Welcoming environment. When asked about UV/black light reactive ink artist was honest and upfront. Greatly appreciated and showed they don't just follow trends or trying to just make a buck. They have specialist instead of everyone doing piercings and tattoos. Highly recommend and will return for a tattoo in future.

Mandi Whitaker

I've been going to Marvel for the last 8 years. You can't go wrong with anyone at the shop. I've gotten almost all of my tattoos from Ryan, piercings from Anna and Rebecca, and Rebecca's also done my eyeliner. I highly recommend this shop for your tattoo and piercing needs.

Melissa Yeager

Awesome artist's,. comfortable atmosphere. Will be returning for more .

Lily k

Best place for peircings. super friendly people. extremely clean place.

Molly In

Had my very first tattoo (43 yrs old) done by Erika and it was a great experience all around! I am in love with the work she done and will be scheduling an appt for my second tattoo very soon♥️♥️

Clay

Marvel Tattoo is a great place to get a tattoo. First off, it’s clean. Everybody working there is friendly and seems to know what they are doing. Larry Bone did my tattoo. It was quick and looks great. If I’m ever looking to get another, this will be the place I go to.

Andrew Cuthbert

They were really nice and explained everything that was going to happen.

skutter perez

Only place I trust

Gregory Schell

Erica was awesome and they are open on Sundays. She was very nice and Marvel is very clean. I have found my new tattoo place.

Tova Brocco

Got my helix and bellybutton piercings here, phenomenal job, lexie was the sweetest! I’m so happy with how they turned out
