Reviews of A1 Tattoo Co (Tattoo Shop)

Michael Gray

My artist was Josh and he did an absolutely amazing job! He’s one of the coolest, nicest, laid back guy I’ve met. I will definitely be coming back to him in the near future.

Clean friendly environment I'll definitely go visit them again

I went to A1 on a Monday afternoon to get my nosed pierced. I got Richie and he was pretty good. He had a little bit of a attitude and I'm better then you attitude but he did walk me through everything and told me everything he was doing. He was very informative on the aftercare and said I could call him if I need too. He is a good piercer even if his attitude is a little off.

Donna Bowen

After having a bad experience with Mitch on my first visit to A1 tattoo and getting a tattoo that I hated, I emailed the owner Brennan. He got back with me right away and offered to fix my tattoo free of charge. I went to see him last night and he was AMAZING. I love my new tattoo and can't wait to show it off. Brennan is such a great guy and he stands behind not only his work but the guys who work for him. If you are looking to get a new Tattoo, go see Brennan at A1. Thank you so much Brennan!!!! .

Sarah Hanline

Awesome, talented and most importantly, FRIENDLY staff!

Miss Melisa

If you're looking for a tattoo, this is the place.

Clint Bernskoetter

Waste of time. Was told to come back in a couple hours, when I did they then looked at the little but I wanted done, they said we don't have time. Don't go here if you want real artwork!

Kelsey Wust

Looks like they do good work. But they quoted me a price that was double what another shop did my tat for.

Jessica Farris

i’ve had piercings as well as tattoos done here. Richie is a cool guy who really knows what he’s doing and he is their piercer. he walks you through everything that is about to happen & he is decently priced. Shannon does my tattoos and she is the only person I trust up here to do them. she is so nice, funny, and really knows what she is doing. speaking of that, I really am in need of some new ink.

Shannon is so awesome!! She has done my whole chest piece 3 sessions and free touch ups. Now she working on my arm it will be a sleeve. Her work is amazing I give her an idea and she makes it badass!

Michelle Smith

Shannon fit me in last minute and did an awesome job. I'll definitely be back.

Natalie Thomas

Got a piercing by Ritchie! Dude is awesome! Thorough and kept me calm. Thank you Ritchie! I will be back!

Robert Butte

I have gone to Josh twice for a tattoo and will never go to anybody else. He does excellent work and is an awesome guy. Your experience will be full of laughs and 100% satisfaction!

Jeffrey Sams

Go there!

Ashlynne Crockett

Went to get my first tattoo here and afterwards was not happy with it, I got an arrow and the lines were completely messed up and some of the design doesn’t even line up with it.

R Peterson

Great work.

Chris Akins

See Mitch he's the man

Erica A.

Richie did a great job piercing my daughter's ears. He was thorough at explaining how to clean and care for her new piercings; and explained things in a manner in which she could understand. He made her feel comfortable during her experience. I will definitely recommend him to others. Thank you!

sara bales

Mitch did a great job and I will be back

Ashley Justis

Shannon Haley did a wonderful job. Thank you Shannon. My tatt looks better than the pic I gave her.

Peter Graves

The artists are all amazing and easy going. I have gotten all my artwork here and will continue to.

Kathryn B

If you ever need a tattoo, go here! Every artist that works there is insanely GREAT at what they do! You will NOT be disappointed!!The BEST tattoo shop I've been to in many states over many years! Brennan captured the spirit of my idea and brought it to life. The detail work is amazing! The shading is amazing! I am so proud of the results. It was a steal of a deal for this kind of high quality artwork. I am a customer for life! Thank you so much, Brennan!!!

I had 2 arm tattoos done in one day at this location. it was a descent experience....it took a lot longer than i was expecting. guy told me it would take about 10-20 min to draw up, took an hour....the process was good but i feel like he didn't really listen to what I wanted. I ended up with a color tattoo that was a little off from the color that I picked but settled because it still looked pretty cool and one black tattoo that was a little janky. the black tattoo was a picture that I had hand drawn and told the guy that I can't draw really well and if he could clean it up that would be great. he traced my drawing and put it on my arm. telling me that he would fix it as he went. i ended up with the exact drawing that i had done on my arm. fast forward 2 months....part of the color on the black tattoo came out with the scab so I went back to try to get it touched up and the guy was like I am busy but call later and I will book you and appointment. there wasn't even anyone in the shop. I went to a different tattoo shop, paid $80 to have the tattoo redone

Lisa Bagdonas

Looks absolutely amazing! Thanks Brennan!

Rachael Bailey

Wonderful artist. They are very friendly.

S M

Always a great experience when I go in.

Charley Buckner

Josh did a fantastic job! He had a great idea of what I wanted and adapted it to the rest of my arm in a unique way.

dude why rock

I dont like it my sister went but I was mad the whole time cause I did not get to see the piercing I guess it not that bad they are kind of nice...

Joe Haas

I came in the day before with an idea. I made an appointment for the next day and walked out happy as ever. I recommend this tattoo parlor if you want a tattoo.

Mindy

I went today and got my conch pierced with Richie and I could not be happier! He was very thorough with his explanations of what he was doing and what I should do for aftercare. He made sure I was happy with the placement and type of jewelry he was putting in too. I will definitely be returning here for future piercings!

nathan jordan

Mitch is wonderful he does amazing work be sure to alway make an appointment to helps them out alot

Jacqueline Boobooreeree

RUDE customer service...

Wesley Adam Rudder

Awesome

stoogie S

I got a tattoo here this week, the shop was clean and the artist were really friendly and make you feel welcome. Superb customer service! My tattoo was created by Nick, this dude have incredible talent. The design came out 10 times better that I originally expected to be. I will send all my friends to this shop for sure.

Andrew Murphy

Shannon is a very personal tattoo artist. Will be getting all my tattoos here.

Corey Slack

Asked for a chief's logo, was quoted 100$.Have a best friend who is a very good and well known tattoo artist downtown who told me a simple design for this should run no more than 50$. A1 was very rude and now I know they wanted to over charge. Very disappointing but not surprising.

Ryan Stemmerman

Been going here for years. Awesome shop with great artists. If you want old school flash go see Brennan.

Manuel Ramirez

Great people clean facility

Mark Montgomery

Josh did an amazing job. At 50+ and this being my first tattoo I needed experience, confidence, and talent. With Josh Rucker I got all three and the most amazing results ever! He was very patient with me while we were emailing samples back and forth ... he did a terrific job at taking my daughters drawing and converting it into something that I will cherish for a lifetime! Thanks Josh! I’ll be back!

Ashley B

Atemepted to buy gauges here. I came in a few hours before close and was told that I could not buy the gauges because the piercer had already left for the day. The piercer was the only one who knew the prices for the gauges and they couldn't sell them to me because they didn't know the prices. The shelf clearly stated that everything was between $25 and $40 so I offered to pay $40 for the gauges. She again stated she couldn't sell hem becauce she didn't know what the prices were... Wow. I didn't know how to respond to that so I just left. Your business lost out on $40 and potentially some extra money if they were cheaper gauges. Heres a tip: take a picture of the gauges I bought, sell them to me for $40 (max price), and figure out the price later. How in the world do people get so ignorant?

James Dobbins

Ben and Shannon do amazing work!

Sabrina Daugherty

They did a really great job. It was my first tattoo and i was nervous but the Artists help you through everything. Will definitely be returning.

Jesse Weddle

Great!!!!

Paulina Dadura

When recieving my tattoo by shannon I was made aware I could come in for a touch up. I have been trying to contact her over the span of MONTHS and no response. You would think if she didnt wanna do a retouch she would just let her clients know. Very unprofessional.

Blu Storm

Richie is the greatest piercer! So good in fact, I'm going back for more and taking a friend who wants a piercing with me!

Nathan Hall

Amazing artwork. Great, and genuine people to deal with. Always look forward to my visits here!!!

Jennifer Guill

Good place for a nice tat

Ashley Sage

Mitch was awesome, came up with the exact design I wanted and did great work. Will definitely be going back for future work.

S. Rodriguez

I had a great experience. I was going to go somewhere very close by to A1 because I went there in the past. but there prices have gotten ridiculous and so did their cocky attitude. I got my work done by a Shannon. I can see why my family and friends now go to this place instead of the other very near by. I will be coming back and bringing recommend this place. but for me the best part was after my work she told me, I will do touché up's no charge but only for the first year. The other place was going to charge me every time. Also, A1 has a lower starting fee. I also just liked being welcomed when I walked in. The other place I used to go got really cocky and made me feel like I interrupted them. I Hear that attitude is why they lost more than my business.

Jaime Kretzer

Went here and got my nose pierced, Richie was amazing!

Will Hogan

Lady I talked to was smug

Brianna Renee

Richie handles all piercings. He only accepts walk ins. I got my nips pierced. He was very thorough in explaining the process keeping it short but also explaining everything he was doing before he did it. I will return to A1.

Lavitsmalstrome

Josh is a good at tattoos

Dona Zahabi

Great artists

Bailey Tarvin

Have messaged them on Facebook twice asking for the price of a sternum piercing. They have looked at it and ignored me.

Jason Bland

My go to place for tattoos in KC. So far Ive came back for three different tattoos ranging from small to large.

brian Davis

Got my latest tattoo here

Holly Genova

Got this little guy from Jordan today, awesome place!

Jeremy Serreyn

Fantastic tattoo shop. Staff is extremely friendly, tattoos are very fair priced and Brennan does incredibly good work. Will be going back to A1 for all my tattoos

Zombie Neidermeyer

We saw Richie the piercer today for my eyebrow. He was very laid back and soft spoken. He explained everything he was doing and made a few jokes to ease the nerves. I've been to a few different places for piercings but i think this was my best experience!!

Caitlin W

I got my first tattoo here, and I've recommended it to lots of friends who've loved it. It's a clean shop with lots of friendly tattoo artists, so they have all the different styles you could want.

Jaime Mattivi

This is the 3rd piercing I've gotten from Richie. He is kind, gentle, and carefully explains everything he does down to the slightest detail.

Elizabeth Gillespie

Just got some work done! Love it!!

Elizabeth Reffett

Just went up there the other day to get a tongue piercing with a friend and both were going to get something done. Mine I wasn’t able to because he doesn’t do surface piercings which is fine just said I would go somewhere else that is comfortable doing it but we went ahead and got hers done. The only thing I didn’t like was that Richie... I think that was his name, would not stop making little comments about what I had wanted done. He was making me very uncomfortable and had a kind of “superior” attitude. Was happy with how he did hers just not with how he acted about me. Would not recommend him ever. Also when my friend asked him to explain something again the way he looked at her was so rude. Just stared for a min like he was irritated he had to explain it again... she was nervous!!! So it was harder for her to take in everything that quick

Josh Roudebush

Love love this place. The guy who does the piercing is top-notch does a great job. There's a female there who does tattoos she is also very good!!!

Bobbie Bell

We've gone here for several of our tattoos. We love everyone there, but Josh is our man! I've gotten many compliments on the pieces he's done for me.

Victor DeMarco

Went last night to get some information about setting up an appointment for getting my first tattoo ever. They were able to get me in right away to get the tattoo done. Ben was the artist who took care of me and I couldn't be happier. He was friendly, polite, and explained the whole process to me. He was sterile and professional during the entire session. Very happy with the work done, will return if I ever get a second tattoo!

Sarah Stevenson

Amazing work!!! I was so impressed with how professional and talented the whole group was. Shannon was my tattooer and I will definitely go back for more!!!

Clara Murphy

I’ve gotten 4 tattoos here and had a wonderful experience with all 4! Their service is great, they work with my ideas and are super talented! I’ve been tattooed by 3 different artists here and they were all incredibly good. I love this shop and won’t be going anywhere else anytime soon!

heather garcia

I went here to get my spider bite piercing done and Richie was great. He gave me great advice and made sure I was ok the whole time and even made jokes which I always love about people!

Johnnys Appliances

Great guy and tattoo artist!

james potmesil

I've been going to Brennan for work for the last 16 years and will keep going back until I don't have room left for anything else. He always comes up with awesome art.

Aubrey Stoltze

Great people, amazing work. Definitely recommend.

Lauren Stiles

Got my Tragus peirced here and it was really well done. The peircer was knowledgeable, price was great, and the jewelry itself was great!

Kelli Carmack

The staff seemed very nice with good customer service skills the tattoo artist was friendly and did a nice job and their prices are incredibly good

Jeff Carmichael

Good service

Rob Lawson

T Vece

Awesome artists great service!

Steven & Amanda Tyler

Attempted to call to get a ballpark quote on a small hand tattoo. The first guy who answered sounded irritated to be getting any calls this evening, told him what I was looking for, didn't even say "Hang on, gonna ask or pass you too someone who can answer your question" or even notify they don't do quotes over the phone. I was passed over to another guy, he answered "Hand tattoo", I didn't realize he was speaking to me initially so that was off to a good start. I tried to tell him what I wanted, cut me off multiple times to argue with me about how he needs to know where and what he is up against. Again, tried to tell him, refused to listen then basically refused to speak to me. I attempted to describe what I was looking for, he wouldn't even talk to me, ended up just telling him to have a good night and ending the call. Very rude, I wont go to someone who wont even listen to me... a potential customer. I get that a true "quote" needs to be done in person but I am not gonna waste my time driving down there for something unreasonably priced or if someone is unable to tattoo my hand, I have been contemplating this tattoo for a while. I have looked around for someone to do it but two places I called said they don't do hand tats. For reference all I wanted was a small tattoo that stated "Always in cursive on the side of my hand. Pic below...

Kaycee Byrd

It was my moms first time getting a tattoo and Ben was so awesome with her! She’s 61 and was somewhat nervous but he put her mind at ease and was very patient with her! I have had a few done myself but never here! I will definitely be going back for another. I liked the chill atmosphere it really helped with my anxiety I get before every tattoo. Clean, fun, and very professional. They didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear just to get me in and out their door they took the time to make sure both of us got what we wanted. I can not stop looking at my arm I’m in love with this tattoo!

Miranda Mansell

The artist made a neck tattoo and my friends first ever and rub tattoo minimally painful. Mine was barely painful and they both healed great! 10/10 would reccomend

Deja Rae Barnett

Its clean the artists are nice and they are quick to get you in. They do an amazing job.

kerese Green

Got my first one here yesterday! Ben did a fantastic job I was so nervous! He helped it to be a great experience. Everyone is really friendly and the price wasn't as expensive as we thought it would be and I'll definitely be going back. Hubby is now jealous and wanted his own lol oh yes and they have a waiting area with comfy seating which was a plus since my husband and infant was with me. We went to another place before A1 and they had a no children rule but I have no regrets cause A1 was great :) thanks Ben!

Stephanie Petersen

Richie did a daith piercing for me and was extremely professional. Very clean and sterile but cool vibe.

E.L. Darling

Great artists. Very professional space. This is suitable for all kinds of tattoos.

Cory Rucker

I got a tattoo from Josh 'The Gent.' He did an amazing job. I will definitely go back for more. Everyone there is awesome and extremely talented. Also, I am not related to anyone that works there. Solid!

cynthia smith

Have gotten all my ink done here, very clean, and great staff.
