Reviews of Crimson Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

John Moran

Amazing shop and Matthew is one of the most professional artist I know.

Kristine Fotland

Matthew, Paige, and Lua are great people! Super clean shop. Wish I could visit everyday! Plus, amazing ink!

Garrett McCLeery

This place is truly awesome. Out of all the shops I have been too throughout many different states. Crimson takes the cake, the atmosphere here is second to none and Matthew is by far the most professional artist I have come across and I would recommend him to anyone looking for quality work.

Paige is an absolute artist when it comes to traditional style tattoos! She is very fast and extremely accurate with her translation from what I had in my head it to what actually went on my arm. My husband and I were both very pleased with her work. Extremely well priced. Honestly I would’ve paid her more !

Paige Berger

I’ve been tattooed by Paige twice now and love both my tattoos! She was really easy to work with and very patient. I highly recommend this shop!

James Symmonds

Matthew has a great reputation for applying his craft quickly with amazing detail. I concur with that! I have done four tattoos with him and love each one. It's always a quick process. (I've done my last two on lunch breaks!) I have friends who also have tattoos by Matthew and they're amazing too!

Matthew Crim is not only one of the best artists around, he’s also one of the coolest guys you’ll ever meet! A true craftsman in his field with an impressive knowledge and skill in all styles of tattooing. Highly recommend checking out his shop and taking home some fresh ink.

After seeing the work Crimson tattoo dose I knew I wanted to get my tattoos done here. Matthew sat down with me, listened to my ideas, took what I wanted to heart, and came up with the perfect one of a kind tattoo I wanted. During the long sessions he took the time to make sure I needed a break to make sure I was comfortable. When you talk to Matthew you can tell that he loves what he does and strives to make every work of art perfect and personal for each client. It’s to bad this can only have five stars because I would totally crank it up to eleven.

Amber Littlefield

This place is top notch! Matthew and Paige are great artists. Paige has done a few tattoos for me! Her work is SO clean. On top of being great artists, they are great people. If your interested in getting tattooed, I would highly recommend!

I’m lucky enough to have a tattoo from Crimson. People are amazed when they see it. World class tattoos right here in KC. Get yourself one today.

Very clean and professional. Matthew knows alot and can help with any tattoo question you may have. Go get tattooed from an experienced tattooer and enjoy the ride..

Loved my experience at Crimson Tattoo! For my first tattoo ever & they made it so comfortable & easy - even for somebody with a deathly fear of needles!

Eva Hall

Matthew is an incredible artist. I am in love with my tattoo and couldn't be happier. What an awesome experience!

Heidi Sturlaugson

Hands down, the best tattoo shop there is! Matt is an outstanding artist, and provides superior customer service. No questions about it, this is the place to go if you are in the market for quality work.

My daughter and I went to Crimson Tattoo today to get a Mother/Daughter tattoo. It was my 18 year olds first tattoo and she was a bit scared. Matthew and Paige (my daughter's tattoo artist) were awesome. They were so genuine and kind. The artistry is beautiful. Thank you so much Crimson Tattoo, we'll be back.

This is more of a review of Matthew Crim than it is of Crimson, as I have not had a chance to visit since Matthew left Windhorse to start this shop. All I can say is that Matthew is one of the most honest and down to earth people I've met, in addition to being a great artist. His skill in dotwork/stipple tattooing is fantastic, and can be used to create a wonderfully "illustrated" sort of look that you'd find in old encyclopedias (not to say it doesn't accomplish much more as well, this is simply the reasoning I chose Matthew). On top of the exceptional work he performed, Matthew refused to accept the amount of a tip that I attempted to give him, stating that it was far too much. This sort of behavior shows Matthew's true commitment lies with his art, and not simply in making money. All in all, I couldn't be happier to have been tattooed by Matthew, and am glad to see him opening his own shop. If my experience with him is an indicator or how this shop as a whole will be, I foresee Crimson becoming a mainstay in Kansas City. Hopefully our paths will cross again.

Matthew is a terrific artist and such a centered individual. He does amazing work and appears to put his passion for art and ink into all of his pieces, big or small.

Joshua Brisco

Got my first tattoo from Matthew and couldn't be happier. Super helpful from start to finish. He tattooed the vortex to my soul.

Kaleigh Assel

Matthew is the best artist I have found. Great personality all around with great work. Clean studio, easy location and easy scheduling.

eve ellenberger

Paige is the best. Her line work is very sharp and clean . Pure talent.

Chris Collier

My wife and I both got tattoo's this week from Matthew and Paige. The new space is very nice, the atmosphere is fantastic, both of them are very talented artists, and fun to talk with. The tattoo below was done in 2 hours by Matthew.

Madee Stewart

Paige is amazing! She’s kind, personable, and takes her time to perfect her craft. I enjoy my time with her and recommend her to anyone I know looking for a beautiful piece of art.

Avery Geek

Incredible experience. Worked with Paige to come up with an awesome design. Very welcoming and helpful staff! 10/10 would recommend!

Maddie F

Amazing shop. The vibe is very down to earth, everyone there is an instant friend and showcase incredible artistic talent. Best shop for those looking for a professional environment in which the artist cares about the longevity and visual appeal of the art. Wish I lived closer to benefit more from this gem! My sleeve I've received from Matthew Crim is complemented on every where I go, including other highly successful artists. I'm grateful to have it on my body!

B Rich

Awesome team here. I had art done by Paige Hinshaw Wu-Tang W and a wuesthoff chef knive. This young lady was awesome! Great attitude and attention to detail.... I will return, if and when I'm back in KC!

Ben Winslow

My wife and I have been going to see Matthew, the owner, for a few years now. He is by far the best tattoo artist I have ever experienced. This location is no different, super clean and as friendly as ever! I had the pleasure of meeting Paige and she is wonderful also. Highly recommend!!

Joshua Haines

The tattoos you see in this picture were original drawings that Matthew, the proprietor of Crimson Tattoo, created from inspiration material that I provided. The level of precision, creativity, detail, and professionalism that Matthew brings to a piece is unparalleled. His studio is immaculate, well thought out, and incredibly welcoming. I cannot recommend Matthew and his studio strongly enough.

Asher Ren

There’s no one else I could’ve asked to do my first tattoo. Matthew came up with a wonderful design and made sure it looked fantastic even before the needle touched my skin. He’s a wonderful artist and a terrific people person who will make sure you like your tattoo and will talk with you throughout the process always making sure you’re comfortable during any part of the process

William Stucker

Paige did awesome work, clean and veey detailed. I'll be going back.

Brittany Magnusson

Most laid-back atmosphere, super neat studio, & incredibly talented and nice tattoo artists. Definitely going back for many future pieces!

Hilde McKee

Went to Crimson’s opening on the suggestion of a friend. Even when they were busy and had been tattooing flash all day they were super welcoming and professional. I got a quick flash from Paige and I’m excited to go back for more. Edited after 9 months: I’m happy to say I have now collected three tattoos from Paige, and am currently working with Paige and Matthew for more. I love this shop for their open and welcoming attitudes and a clean and pleasant tattooing experience. Highly recommend!
