Reviews of Revelation Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Adam Hannon-Hatfield

They tatooed my toes well.

Lacey Vantuyl

Melissa did a fantastic job piercing my conch. As fast and painless as it gets.

H B

I go here for almost all of my piercings and plan to go for tattoos in the future. Melissa is super friendly and helps her customers out. She even gave me a ball for my labret piercing when it fell off, free of charge, and she didn't even pierce it! Check them out!

jim clark

Showed up today for my appointment. Met john out front. Never met him before and he welcomed me we talked about a few things. Super nice guy. Made me feel welcome (he did the same a few weeks ago when my daughter got her ears pierced) kevin did an amazinf job on my tattoo and i couldnt be happier great shop and a great bunch of artists the shop manager stopped in several times just to talk as well. Highly recomended and ill be back for more work in the future.

Robertlisa Rosas

To high priced for something so small and at detailed at all

Jaimee Wheat

Got an awesome tattoo, thanks Rhett!

Ricky Bobby

Rhett is The Tat God

I have gone here for 6 of my tattoos and I am always impressed and LOVE the tattoos I get. Highly recommend!

Kelsey Wust

Busy place. Will work with you on prices. The guy that did my tat, did a great job! Will visit again soon!

Monica Ayers

I just got queen and my boyfriend got King on our hands, we love them. Thank you guys.

Might be great for tattoos but do not get a piercing. My sister and I went and had our ears pierced in April and by August after not healing and even changing the jewelry she took hers out. Mine has never healed no matter what I did. I haven’t slept on my ear in almost a year, I even changed the jewelry. When I went in to my local parlor they said that it was odd it had not healed yet. After looking at the area and the jewelry he stated that the jewelry had been less quality than he’d originally thought just by glance and then once he changed the jewelry he stated the position was a little different so it may be in a way that it just won’t heal. I didn’t think so at the time so I kept with it. I finally found out a few weeks ago that my sister took hers out since it wouldn’t heal either (she didn’t want to tell me) so after everything the local parlor told me to do and it didn’t help, I finally decided to take the jewelry out. (I had to have the same gentleman remove it since I was not able to do so). It was a waste of a year full of torture. I really wanted to keep the piercing.

Henry Terry

The guy that tattoo me did a really good job on my tattoo and he was pretty generous on the pain part

Gene Wiggins

All the good reviews pretty much says it all for me also. Rhett did a great job exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to get back to him to do some more. Place was clean and the guys are friendly the second you walk in. They are very reasonably priced. Definitely recommending John Monks Revelation Tattoo to all my friends and anyone who asks where I got my ink.

Grace Nicole

I've gotten all my tattoos here and absolutely love them. The staff is wonderful and makes the experience even better.

Cecily Carter

I have been here twice and it is where I recommend to my friends! Clean place with friendly and approachable staff.

Kara Parkman

Awesome studio with awesome artists. My artist was Beau and the tattoo turned out better than I could have imagined. Will recommend to anyone who is looking for a studio.

Colleen Sanderson

Beth is the best piercer in KC. I've been having her do my piercings for over 15 years and won't let anyone else pierce me.

Erin Crawford

Beau is a great artist and does awesome tattoos. I don't know anyone else's name but another guy did an amazing job on my flower tat :) I always recommend this place.

Jaime Jaramillo

Great place to get your ink done.

Misty Jacquez

Went there a year or so ago and Beau gave me an amazing tattoo, he took the time to talk it over with me and made sure I was happy with the drawing before he started tattooing. Ended up with a great tattoo and very proud to show it off.... So today I go in there to get a very special tattoo, EXTREMELY disappointed. There was four guys sitting around the table talking and drawing, there is nothing wrong with that as long as when a customer comes in you put your focus on them. Monk finally asked if he could help me with something, Umm yeah possibly a tattoo. He was very rude and showed no interest in stopping the conversation around the table with the boys to help me out. I ended up leaving without getting a peice of art work. Really sad to see what this shop has come to because I know what it used to be.

Miya O'Dell

Melissa is AMAZING. I have went to her for ALL my piercings & they turn out wonderful. I have requested that all my friends & family come here too & they love her!! always a great outcome & always friendly service.

Jen Grimes

Clean shop. Fantastic artists. Walk - ins welcome. Friendly staff. I've never seen a bad tattoo go out the door.

Zoe Graham

The tattoo turned out great and it didnt take that long to get done... I very much reccomend this place if u want a tattoo

Ashley Sharp

This place has a remarkable staff. Beth, hands-down, is just amazing of a person. She always treats everyone just like her close friends. You won't be disappointed in the least.

Taylor Dietzman

I got my belly button pierced at the beginning of the summer and it’s finally at the 3rd month of healing. My skin has shrunk because she didn’t make the piercing big enough so I only have a centimeter of skin and it’s about to rip. I’m not happy at all that she didn’t give the piercing enough room. I have to get it repierced but I tell you I’m not going here for it!

Ashley Irwin

Beth is the best piercer I know. I will only go to her for my piercing needs.

Trystin Wright

Poor quality and over priced.

Kelly M

I was SO disappointed! A friend highly recommended this shop. When I went in Monk was rude and another artists stepped up and helped me. I called a week later for an appointment with that artist and he sounded like it was an inconvenience to have to answer the phone. Such a rude way to treat people in a people business.

Clare Guernsey

First time, first impression..very clean, organized, and customer oriented..shockingly something most shops lack. Also from what I could actually tell these guys had real personalities! Did a heck of a job! Making plans for round 2very soon!

Kaitlyn Callaway

I get all of my tattoos from here. Amazing-friendly staff

Bethany McAlister

Love this place!!! Beau did amazing with my new tattoos and can't wait to go back. Sorry its upside down

Rilie Barnes

I went here for my first tattoo, which I got on my ribs. I had excellent service, Brent did an excellent job on my tattoo and made sure to take into consideration it was my first. They were all very friendly and my tattoo looks wonderful because of the design, work and explaining to me how I could make sure it looks its best! Great job!

Kelli Decker

My sister got s first rate tattoo artist was awesome

nathaniel greene

Everyone here are rather excellent at what they do

Cleopatra vy

Melissa was absolutely wonderful!! Best experience I have ever had getting a piercing!! I am definitely going back to her for the rest of my piercings!

Chandler Grace Templeton

Their piercer was fantastic! Highly recommend!

Chaitanya Ganduri

Reasonable prices, good care and quality service. From receiving customers till end of the session, everything is awesome quality. If you ever like to get a tattoo, I strongly recommend this place. And especially, Ben. Five stars for his work.

Crayz Diamond

This review is specifically in regard to *Melissa*, the shop's piercing expert. This chick rocks. Not just on a human level either (which she totally does), but she really knows her stuff. If you're trying to walk in to this shop wanting some outlandish piercing on some far-out part of your body that you saw on a tumblr pic, it's not going to happen - she'll tell you no, but she will legitimately tell you why. What made me appreciate her was not only her work itself, but the time she took to consult with me before the needles were brought out. She is very well educated and the pride she takes in her craft is commendable. She recently pierced my inner conch and re-pierced my naval. My previous naval piercing healed crooked and was half closed - she provided suggestions based on what I had to work with and what I had in mind. She was able to conceal the previous (crooked) piercing and it's healing beautifully. 1000% recommend. Revelation is my absolute go-to shop. I trust any artist working under John Monk's with my skin. From my first at 18yo to my most recent, the majority of my ink is attributable to either Brent Wilhelmi or Beau Wofford.

Leticia Forsyth

the owner is so full of himself and so conceited and extremely rude I can see why only desperate people would go there

Alyssa Sitzmann

Rude ass people

Nina Ngo

Melissa. She's awesome. Best piercing I've ever gotten. It was so quick and easy!

Radonna Barkema

Revelation Tattoo is the best! My daughter and I just got matching tattoos and had a great experience. This was my third tattoo from Revelation, second from John Monk. I have also had a piercing done by Beth, who is helpful and professional. The shop is always clean, and all the artists are friendly and extremely talented, so you won’t go wrong with any of them. Customers who are relaxed and friendly are greeted and treated in the same manner. I highly recommend this shop.

Alberta Dawe

Did a great Job

Kristi Groseclose

Excellent drawing up of my husband's FIRST tattoo by chris. Thank you chris!

Paul Spero

Best tattoo shop in town

Brittany Kirkhom

Ben does an awesome job. I told him what was in my head and he brought it to life.

Willy C Mo

Best work on the planet

Cheri Foster

I was very pleased with the shop and artists. They were nice and great priced. They didnt even complain about redrawing a design for my friend tomake it just how she liked it. Would definitely recommend over A1. They don't jack up prices during tax time like "other places".

Brian D

Had a bad experience last time i was here Brent jacked up my kanji tat on my forearm.

OpaqueDawn

Absolutely the best place in KC

Julenne Lowrey

My artist was nice and made me feel comfortable getting my first tattoo but I feel like I got ripped off. My tattoo is maybe quarter sized at the most and I was overcharged. It looked good the first month but quickly faded. I went in for a free touch up and it is still fadded looking. I've had this tattoo for less than 6 months. The black is not filled in all the way either. I feel very disappointed in the quality.

Charlee Foxxtrot

If you are looking to get some ink, this is the place to go. Highly recommend it to anyone that is the market for traditional japanese sleeves. Reasonably priced, great staff and most importantly quality work. They get pretty busy so make an appointment and you will not be disappointed.

Jason Russell

I took my Son to get his first tattoo and it was an awesome experience all around.

Ro Hazel

This is my second tattoo from them and I LOVE IT

James Young

Great place . Adilyn Rocks

Michael Riddle

Friendly service excellent quality tattoos

PROPERTY MANAGER

READ OVER THE OTHER REVIEWS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE MY SITUATION IS CERTAINLY NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION. IF I WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE A NEGATIVE ZERO FOR THIS BUSINESS, I WOULD HAVE DONE SO. I CALLED TODAY 11/16/2017 TO GET A QUOTE FOR A NOSE PIERCING IF I PROVIDED MY OWN APPROVED NOSE RING. THE "NEW" BODY PIERCER (AS SHE REFERRED TO HERSELF) WAS COMBATIVE, RUDE, DISGUSTING, DISRESPECTFUL, DISMISSIVE, AND UNPROFESSIONAL ON SO MANY LEVELS. I WAS GOING TO TRAVEL 2 HOURS TO HAVE THIS SERVICE PERFORMED, BUT SHE WAS MOST CONCERNED WITH TRYING TO SELL ME HER PRODUCT. SHE UNSUCCESSFULLY ATTEMPTED TO CONVINCE ME TO PURCHASE HER PRODUCT WHEN I CLEARLY ONLY ASKED WHAT THE PRICE WAS TO GET A NOSE PIERCING WITH MY OWN APPROVED NOSE RING. SOMEHOW THE PRICE WAS $40 WITH OR WITHOUT, WHICH SOUNDS VERY SHEISTY, AND VERY MUCH DECEPTIVE. THERE IS NO WAY THE SERVICES CAN BE THE SAME PRICE. SHE CONTINUED TO UNSUCCCESSFULLY ATTEMPT TO SELL ME ON HER "EXPERTISE" WHEN ALL I WANTED WAS AN ACCURATE, AND FAIR PRICE QUOTE. SHE BECAME ANGRY AND SAID I ASKED HER FOR HER OPINION, AND HONESTLY I DID NOT. SHE THEN BECAME THUGGISH AND ROUGH, AND I SIMPLY THANKED HER, AND WISHED HER A GREAT WEEKEND, BECAUSE I HAVE NO TIME OR PATIENCE FOR PHONE THUGS. IT IS APPARENT THIS PERSON IS POORLY TRAINED, AND LACKS BASIC PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS, AND DECORUM. THEY MAY CHIME IN AND DENY IT, BUT THIS IS A FACTUAL ACCOUNT. THEY HAVE MANY COMPETITORS ALL AROUND THEM, AND I WILL EXERCISE ONE OF THOSE OPTIONS. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CONSIDER GOING ELSEWHERE FOR YOUR SERVICE, UNLESS YOU WANT THUGS PERFORMING YOUR SERVICE. THIS WAS QUITE AN UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE, AND I WANT TO SPARE OTHERS. THANK YOU KINDLY!

Alexi Aviles

Great artist here and fair prices, this is the only place I'll go.

Aaron Swicegood

This place is awesome. Very clean and professional. Rich has done my entire sleeve and the guy is unbelievable and I strongly recommend him. I've been to a lot of different shops before and I will never go anywhere else again.

stoogie S

something that I hate is poor customer service, and that's what you will get if you come to this place. I went to place 3 times and couldn't get anybody to even give me an appointment, there a lot of excuses: too busy, the person that can work on that tattoo is not here or we will call you back. Please take your money somewhere else, this shop has no idea of what customer service is.

Coty Townes

Went about a year ago and my tattoo came out perfect. I've gotten several tattoos and this one healed better and looked the same from the time he finished throughout the healing and hasn't faded a bit yet

Corey Slack

Asked for a chief's logo, was quoted 200$.Have a best friend who is a very good and well known tattoo artist downtown who told me a simple design for this should run no more than 50$. Illustrated wanted to over charge by quadruple! Very disappointing but not surprising.

Micah Pelofsky

I have been in shops all over the country. Ive known John for a few years, and have to say He has a phenomenal shop...Kevin who worked on my back is a creative genius and is dedicated to His profession....will have several more pieces done by Kevin there in the very new future. I recommend this shop to anyone if you want excellent work and a great staff!!!

Bridgette Graham

Awesome atmosphere! Richard was super patient and did a great job! Highly recommend checking this place out!

plugzie dinero

dopest shop in the midwest!...come check out the experienced crew at revelation...

Alexa Christensen

Very clean, professional, and friendly! Would highly recommend and would go back for future tats.

Adam Roudebush

Awesome people and very helpful! My son got his first tattoo tonight and the guy, can't remember his name, was great. He did a great job!

Levar Hill

Ben hooked me up. Can't wait til he gets back in town so I can finish my sleeve.

Jodie Schmitt

I received piercings there for migraines 2 years ago and it's been a completely amazing turn around for them. The place is clean and sterile & Beth was extremely nice, helpful and educated about it. I've had migraines for over 20 years and this is the best money I've ever spent. I still get headaches once in a while, but they are nothing like what my migraines used to be, and they aren't near as often anymore. BEST MONEY I'VE EVER SPENT!!!!

Rachel Matthews

My friend and I made an appointment last week so we could get tattoos together while she was in town. First of all, we couldn't get them together because there was only 1 guy available(not what we requested). Then while asking us what we wanted he was very critical of MY OPINION ON MY TATTOO! He sighed when we expressed concerns and made us feel stupid for wanting what we wanted. My friend ended up saying screw it and didn't get hers because the guy was soooooo rude! Then lastly he charged me triple of what I normally pay my regular artists, it was only 2 inches in diameter. I didn't pay that much for half of arm! Sooo, just don't do it.

Joshua Littlejohn

Just got done and had a great experience. Going back for the next session with the same artist! (Will add pics later)

Sam Cook

Ben was great. My first tattoo is just the beginning. I will be back to compete the project.

Camryn McConnell

I called in to ask about what education degree was needed, and about training. The guy was really sweet and patient and answered all my questions, even though they aren't looking for aprenticeships at the time. They were really nice and have a wonderful parlor. 10/10 recommend

Naimah Price

Update: Nevermind it looks okay. The more I look at it, it's not so bad. The bottom wings look kinda webbed which look pretty cool even though their alittle short. It works. Other than that he did so a good job. I was wanting to get a tattoo of a gothic tinkerbell but the artist was more interested in doing another one of my other photo tattoo ideas. He looked unsure that I would like it and gave me the impression that he was disappointed about something. He sent me off without telling me how to take care of it. And when I got home I examined it some more and I honestly can't say that I like what he did with the wings. The bottom two wings look alittle too short when you look at the original design that I was inspired to get it makes his design look more like bird wings instead of a butterfly look. I wish I could of said something before he started if I had known that it would turn out this way.

Brooke Ann

I've been going to Revelation for years (mostly for piercings) & as far as that goes they've always been professional and courteous. However, my sister & I went in to make a tattoo appointment last week for us and our mom and the fellow at the front made us believe we didn't need an appointment at all (he believed it to be a simple tattoo) and instructed us to come in early either Friday or saturday morning. We came in Saturday just after noon and everyone acted like we were an annoyance. The drawing was done and the same guy who said we wouldn't need an appointment had an appointment at 2. He pushed back his appointment an hour to do my sister and my mom but wanted me to come in again the next day instead. This was supposed to be a thing we did together and so I wanted it done that day. He told us to come back at 5:30 to give him ample time to finish his appointment. We arrived at 5:15 and weren't even ACKNOWLEDGED until 6:30. For anyone who doesn't want to read that whole story, basically their customer service is SEVERELY LACKING. But their artwork is AMAZING and I am happy with the actual tattoo, so I'm giving them an extra star. If your time is worth anything, though, I'd go somewhere else. There are people who will take your business more seriously elsewhere. I will not be returning.

Ryan Younker

Everyone here is super nice, laid back, and very helpful.

Sparrow Malvino

Great shop, good artists. Jesse did a great job on my new tattoo.

Cynthia Goode

Nice work! I had a great tattoo artist

Corey & Rosa Strutton

They did a great job with my sister's tattoos and mine. Got one tattoo fixed plus a new one. Can't wait to get my next one fixed and another new one.

Will Brown

Just got father son matching tats! It was our first tattoos! Rhett was awesome!!!!!!! Totally recommend!

Ant Low

Got my sleeve done and both ears pierced here. Melissa was awesome, knowledgeable, and super detailed. She left an hour early one day but worth going back the next day for. Would highly recommend for anyone first piercing. $100 for both ears.

Allison Diebold

Kevin is my go to man. He is an amazing tattoo artist and takes his time to focus on the little details. He really goes out of his way for his clients and treats you with all the respect. Keep up the good work Kevin, I wont be going to anyone else.

jodi schatschneider

Stopped in for tattoos today... or artists were amazing!!! ❤❤❤

Mane Lew

These guys keep it all the way live!

Brandi Harvey

When I find something good I stick with it, which is why I've been going to the same place for my piercings for the last ten years. But over the weekend I had to try a new place. And I must say I really enjoyed my experience at Revelation Tattoo. Mellisa was great! The prices were great and she gave me great info that helped me come to a decision on what I wanted. I have experienced getting a Dermal Anchor before but I like her technique MUUUCH better. There was less pain because she was so fast. :) She made me and my friends feel very comfortable. She's a pro with a great smile. I definitely found my new place. I LOVE my new piercing. Can't wait to go back and get more done.

J Webber.

I've gone to Beau twice now and he is awesome, always having a great sense of humor and does awesome work. Love that his "card" is a pocker chip, lol Very reasonably price too!

Alex Flores

Reasonable pricing great work and detail

Jamie Craig

Did an amazing job and prices are very reasonable!

Cassandra Collins

While I am very happy with my tattoo and it turned out great. I will not return to the artist that did my tattoo. I walked in and was quickly waited on by a nice young lady. Told her what I wanted and when she asked which artist was up none were quick to jump at the opportunity for work. Finally after a few awkward seconds a man walks up. "What do you want?" Not Hi, my name is... What are you looking to get... Nothing. Didn't tell a price until about to touch me with the machine. At this point I am committed. I would love to come back and maybe try a new artist. If you want good work with little to be desired personality, Ben is your guy!

Alicia Pompa

I got my first tattoo here. They do great work!

Patricia Gibson

Very friendly got a darth piercing Beth was knowledgeable and very nice

Morgan Hannah

Went in with my friend to get her nose pierced and Melissa was so nice and professional. I'm thinking about getting a rook piercing so I asked her a lot of questions about it and she was super nice and helpful! Would definitely recommend and will be back to get my rook pierced!

Alexis Regan

I went in there showed him what I wanted and he made it look even better than I hoped. This is a great place for tattoos and their prices.

Shandelle G

My husband recently got a tattoo here for our first born son. We described what he was wanting and they did an amazing job drawing it up! Exactly what he had in mind! Awesome staff to chat with as well!

Jaydubb 816

Great shop

Pandora Moonrose

Always profession, clean, outstanding work. I've gotten black and whites and color tats here. Reasonably priced. The shop is spacious and welcoming. Artists work with you to get what you want. Highly recommend.

Danny McWilliams

I moved to kc 4 years ago and I searched for quite some time to find the perfect artist to do my sleeve. After awhile I kept hearing about an artist named John monk. I went to the shop and was greeted by none other then the monk himself, he sat down with me and was very professional in helping me layout everything I wanted to do, I was also very impressed by the cleanliness and amazing layout of the shop. John monk not only has became my tattoo artist but a great friend as well. My tattoos are of amazing quality!!!! I definitely recommend anyone looking for tattoos of any sort to revelation tattoo home of John monk as seen on TV

Shawn Wake

This is an excellent place to get a tattoo. I know that Rhett (artist) is very skilled. The other artists here are great, too. I just have always gone to Rhett and highly recommend him!

Celeste Lupercio

I didn't love my experience here. A group of us came in together. We'd made an appointment but they seemed ill-prepared. My tattoo needs to be touched up, it wasn't great.

Stacey Hawkins

My sister & I stopped in earlier in the day from when we got them done & was helped with getting an idea very quickly. We found that we were able to get what we wanted that day. I had previous obligations for a couple hours which was why we didn't start right away. When we came back, we didn't wait too long before we were both with artists, who had been working on/finishing up on other patrons. She had a touch up & a new one tattoo done by Rhett. She was super pleased by his work. I got two new ones on the same arm by Ben. I loved the draw up & work done on me. Definitely plan to get future tattoos done here.

cynthia mcfadin

Courteous staff, decent skills

Sally Rolf

I got my naval piercing there, and they did not use a long enough bar so I had to go to A1 to get it fixed. Do not go here for any piercings.

Jessicalista

Beth did an amazing job on my nose piercing. She made me feel completely at ease. The whole shop was very clean and professional. I will definitely be back one day soon for some new ink

Mike Crawford

Great place, good prices, excellent artists. Very clean and professional people make you comfortable while they do awesome work will be going back soon

Jeremey Salas

They, keep it real.

Tanner Fox

First tattoo couldn't have picked a better shop. Rich did an amazing job highly recommended.

rob tustison

Great people great service clean and friendly atmospher. And some fantastic artist

Vincent Servello

Do great work.

Lindsey Brave

I got my inner bicep piece done here by Beau. It was amazing and I will be back! Great shop with talented artists.

Deanna Zackus

Took my sister in for her first tattoo and my fifth! Rhett did amazing and can't wait for more!

Bri Facklam

I love their work. Went there for my first tattoo & they were very nice & helpful. I also went & saw Melissa a few years ago for my belly button piercing & she was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable when I was so nervous. I heard she passed away a few months ago :(. She was such a sweet lady. The only thing I didn’t like were the prices. I felt like it was over priced.

Tracy pinick

awesome tattoos very friendly allowed my support dog to sit with a friend while getting my tattoos..

Douglas Edgar

Best Tattoos & Piercings in Kansas City

Jaime

Not my favorite!

Nathan Rice

Was a bit expensive but you get what you pay for! The place was extremely clean and well mannered. Everyone in there was super friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Jared Harper

Great group of people

Marissa Sharp

I love it hear. my boyfriend had got two tattoos from A-1 tattoo, and both of them got infected. It was time for a new shop. We went here, and he has had tattoos done by brent, I believe chris, and Beau. My first back tattoo was done by beau and I have never been more pleased. Ever since then, I love that shop. I got my second tattoo done by him also. they do amazing work. Every one is very friendly especially Katie.John Munk is awesome. very down to earth guy. he doesn't care what anyone else thinks about him, and he gives you great advice. I love him, and I love it here. not your typical tattoo shop.! Highly recommended.

Chris Sneed

This is our second week here consecutively visiting the same artist, Chris. Both times we've arrived to find out that not only was he not here but no-one knew where he was. He promised a discount after being late the first time but didn't honor it. The work has been solid thus far however.

CB C

Great shop, it's a clean shop and the artists that work there are talented. John Monk has had this shop for some time and is one of the best artist in KC. Whether it's your first or your 100th tattoo this place will take care of you.

Andy Caraway

Friendly artists. No attitude. Took me as a walk in on a very cold night. Did a great custom piece for me quickly! Nice big cool looking shop.

Drew Edwards

John and his team lay down some fantastic ink and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. I have had them do around 14 hours of actual work and the results are stellar.

Mammons Rage

Call Beth for all your piercing needs...

Slade 0639

Kevin helped me and my wife and he was awesome. He was very chill and does amazing work. Overall a great experience and we would come back to Kevin for future tattoos, even though he’s never seen Stand By Me.

Isabella Deiparine

My boyfriend and I went in to each get a tattoo and had the best experience. We walked in and sat at the table in the waiting area and started filling out paper work. (Walk in- no appointment) We were greeted and helped quickly and the artists were all super cool and nice. A girl named Shelly did both of our tattoos and she did an AMAZING job. This was the first for both of us and she was extremely gentle and considerate. She kept making sure we were doing alright and really focused on each of our tattoos. She took the time to get a good idea of what we each wanted, we showed her a few pics and she came up with the perfect designs for each of us. She triple checked to make sure everything was perfect before she did anything else which really put me at ease! She made sure the placement and size was exactly where and what we wanted. The environment was very clean and comfortable. She made sure to deep clean everything before starting my boyfriend's tattoo after she finished mine. Overall, our tattoos turned out better than we even imagined they'd be! We are both so happy and will definitely come back if we get more. She told us how to take care of them, everything you needed to know. She also gave us her card and told us to call her if we had any questions and reassured us that no question was a stupid question. :) the morning after getting it done it did not hurt at all and was barley even red! I showed my friends at work and they didn't even believe that it was brand new because it looked so good! If you're getting your first tattoo, second tattoo, or hundredth tattoo.. Definitely go here!! And ask for Shelly if she's available!!! Great experience, and GORGEOUS tattoos. So so happy with it all! Thanks so much Shelly!!!

katie parrish

Super fast and did great work

Jessie Carolan

I went in March of 2016 to get my nostril pierced. I let her know that I was interested in having a hoop eventually and she talked me into a way too low piercing that didn't fit any hoops. On top of that I was pierced at an up angle so now after spending almost a year with my piercing I have to restart the whole process. She also peirced me with a stud with a ball that has caused a great amount of damage to my nose. Not happy with my service at all.

Michael Herschberger

Awesome group of talent. Rhett is a true artist and perfectionist.

Redneck 4lyfe

Just got my 4th tattoo. First time at revelation tattoo. They are amazing. Great detail.

Shady Simmons

I love this place, I've gotten both of my tattoos there. I love their work!! They are a little pricy to me, but it was well worth it for the quality!

Tanja K

Great place for a tat. First time for my step son getting a tat and they did a great job!

Megan Yates

Beth was a wonderful piercer!!! Went in to get a piercing and she made myself and friends feel so comfortable. She made it quick and painless! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who wants a piercing. She answered all our questions and was extremely Informative on how to take care of each of our individual piercings.

Eric Chisam

Great place. Nice bunch of guys.

Roy Hankins

Got my first tattoo there along with my wife and it looked good then and it still looks great. Our daughters have also gotten tattoos there and they are also done with great skill. Will tell anyone looking to get one to go here and if I ever decide on another one I'll be back.

bing blinger

Took a friend in to get his 4th tattoo because. I had been here before. Unprofessional artists seeing the most they can get out of you is the norm here a friend said. We ended up leaving and doubt i will back. Ask a simple question how much it should not be like haggling with a used car salesman.

Danielle Miesner

Revelation Tattoo is a wonderful shop. The artists are very friendly, and they provide quality work. I have been tattooed there three times now, and I can confidently say that I will go back to get future work done. I would highly, highly recommend going to Revelation.

Ariana

PIERCING- Not Tattoo I went to see Beth for some help with my septum piercing and it was the best piercing experience I have ever had. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and took really good care of me and my piercing!

Shelby Varelman

Melissa did my belly button piercing and then my nose today. She did a wonderful job. I highly recommend this place. It's clean and filled with kind people and great service!

Adam

John Monk is the best tattoo artist in KC. Thanks for the amazing ink!

Roxana Ruiz

Unprofessional wasn't happy with my tattoo. It took forever. They couldn't give me answers to questions like how long it would take. Of course it depends on each person but they could've given some kind of estimate of time. Even the tattoo artist complained about working there.

Janice Bardwell

My daughter got her belly button pierced and it was a great experience the lady was really nice.

Went with my mother (who's in her 60's) to get her ears pierced - we had a GREAT experience! I honestly thought they'd look at us like we were totally out of place, but were very welcoming. The woman who did the piercings was top notch - very personable. I would highly recommend this place!

I got my first tattoo done by Kevin and the environment and the way he talked to me through the process helped a lot! And the price wasn’t to be bad either! I recommend this tattoo shop, ASK FOR KEVIN!

Megan Hynek

It's very clean and the tattoo artists were very friendly!

Brad Wegener

Clean, knowledgeable and friendly staff

Christopher Pinnell

I got a small tattoo on my wrist. The artist was extremely rude and talked to someone else about killing himself while working on me. Don't remember his name because the whole experience was forgettable. I was overcharged and the artist did a terrible job. Thankfully it was an easy fix by another shop in KC. I didn't even want to go back.

Got a piercing here, and the staff has been so helpful with my recovery and adjustments. I think I will get my next Tattoo here.

John Monk and his staff are the best in the business! Our whole family goes up there for all of our tattoos, even though we moved 3 hours away, we still drive all the way up to KC and it's worth the drive! Just finished my third session on a leg tattoo by John Monk and my man got his lower sleeve finished today by Chris Ahlers. Very nice and clean shop, very professional. We highly recommend Revelation Tattoo!

Ben is an amazing artist and fixed a tattoo I never thought I could get covered up without laser tattoo removal! He’s not all the way done yet but he did an amazing job so far and from the outline I know the rest will be amazing too.. Kevin cracks me up he seems to be pretty awesome too ! John is funny too.. (don’t call n ask him how much it will cost you .. just go in)! Best tattoo shop I’ve been to yet & I don’t even review places anywhere but This place definitely deserved it! Although I do think they should upgrade their shop into personal rooms or maybe a. Big mirror in between the customer sitting place n the tattooing room at least for certain occasions cuz everyone kept asking Ben when he would be done n able to do something else .. he’s amazing but he kan only do one thing at a time ! Just a thought not one bad thing to say about this place!
