Reviews of Mos Eisleys Tattoo Studio (Tattoo Shop)

Brian Ng

Really great place. The tattoo artists do a really fantastic job!

Ashley Schaffer

I have had two beautiful pieces of work done here. The staff is friendly and their custom art is unique. They offer a wide variety ink colors and will try to accommodate you in every way. They also respond very quickly if you have questions or need to make an appointment. This is the only tattoo shop I will go to. Absolutely love this place!!!

Ben Otis Realtor

They are the best in West Michigan. My wife and I both highly recommend them.

Chelsi Allan

For what I know all the artists are great. However Nick is cocky and needs to learn some communication skills. Went there mid August, it's now the end of December, and still haven't heard anything from him about the drawing for my 8+ hour sleeve I wanted him to do. He was so rude from the beginning I should have expected it but come on. I've done everything I was supposed to do. Emailed him my references, emailed again to check progress, and nothing. I will not be going to this shop ever.

James Yarbrough

I trust Nick and appreciate how clean and professional this shop is. Nick has done most of my work and is an amazing artist. Prices are fair for high quality work and the shop is always clean.

Antoniya Wedge

I got a piercing there, by George, and I absolutely love it! He was so helpful and even was nice enough to do it even though I came in last minute. Very clean and not too expensive. I would definitely choose Mos Eisleys again!

Bethany Suttorp

I went there last week to get my third tattoo (second one from Mos Eisleys). Customer service was severely lacking. My artist never even told me his name and seems kind of annoyed when he put the stencil on and I asked him to redo it due to the fact it wasn’t on straight. I was never asked to show my ID or sign any papers so should I need a touch up (which I can already tell that I will) get an infection, etc., they will have no record of me going there. I had to ask for an after care pamphlet. All around poor experience. They’re talented and good at what they do, but I was not impressed this time around and will not be going back to them for future tattoos.

Bradley Nelson

Brantley is the man.

Kellie Phillips

I highly recommend Brantley. He does beautiful work. It's a very clean and professional place.

Zach Ripley

Clean and friendly, but also just about the finest tattoo artists in the business. They know their craft!

Marcie Kaiser

I had a less than great experience here. I had to describe what I wanted to the desk girl rather than talking to the actual artist that was going to do my tattoo. I came back weeks later for the appointment, and the artist didn't follow any of the instructions I had left with the desk girl on his draw-up of it- font choice (he used handwriting when I requested Helvetica), size (MUCH larger than requested), or design (printed out an image of what I wanted, got a completely different design). A random word was capitalized, so I asked him to please change it to lower case. He did, but did not seem very happy with my request. He was not friendly with me at all and seemed rushed, which also made the process more painful. I feel the experience would have been better if I were able to talk to the artist directly. I wouldn't go back.

My Heavenly Home And Paper Crafting Garden

My daughter's first two tattoos were at Mo's Eisleys. It's very, very clean, and amazing to walk I to. Everyone is friendly and fun! It's so easy to park close. The many, many awards for the shop and the individual artist's is well deserved! I would HIGHLY recommend Mo's Eisleys!

Denise Wertz

Brantley was awesome and he gave me a great cover-up. His craft exceeded way beyond what I was expecting. Thank you Brantley! I will be back.

Grace Scoville

Just got my second tattoo from here and everyone was SUPER professional and really nice. I was tattooed by Shane and the whole time i was getting tattooed i felt super comfortable and the conversation was easy going. Pretty certain that this is the only place im ever going to go to get a tattoo done.

Fred Desero

Recently my dog had passed away, I have been to Mos a few times for tats. I took in a photo of Koty and Nick designed a tat from the photo I had provided. The resemblance is perfection, my family and friends have seen the tat and said that it is Koty. Thanks again Nick, phenomenal job!

Nick Bl

I got a floral piece done with Tyler for my parents that I was trying to decide on for a couple years. I sent in an email with some photos for inspiration and vague description and they responded immediately and got me in good hands. I came in and Tyler was so nice and it took only two minutes for a consultation. I came in to get the piece done a few days after without seeing what he had planned before and it was PERFECT. Literally like he read my mind and envisioned what I couldn’t even explain. The shop was so clean, with private rooms and quick service. My work came out insanely perfect and Tyler was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend and by far the best shop I’ve been too!

Jessica Acton

They were amazing. Great work and excellent service.

Brian Bailey

Less than impressed a few years ago when I got my first one, but hey it was just that my first one and I wouldn't have known much better otherwise. But they earned this one star as of my most recent visit. My wife wanted to get a ring tattoo similar to one I had done on our honeymoon out west... They not only told her that there was "NO WAY" they could tattoo a finger, but they quickly started to push different tattoo ideas and doing it in a completely different location.... We came back to Mos because this is our hometown and we both wanted ink from here, but they have really stooped low as of late... Easy to see when most of their awards are from before the turn of the millennium. Do yourself a favor SHOP AROUND! We found a much better location very willing to work with the art she has and will actually put it where she wants it.

Jesse Laseur

Go see my boy Nick Sage he's awesome!!

Amanda

Great artists, but can be pricey compared to other shops in the Grand Rapids area. Clean shop with a comfortable atmosphere. I've gotten 3 tattoos here and will be back for more.

Brad Noviskey

Friendly, professional staff and very talented. They are honest and do a great job at matching you up with the right artist for your design.

Philip R

I once went in to get a price on something, and no one was interested in talking unless I was buying that day. Apparently the prices for tattoos vary by day?

Sam Lantinga

This place was fantastic. Very clean and friendly staff. I got my first tattoo here with Eric who was easy to talk to and very informative. Great place and will definitely be back!

Wendy Jane

When my son Cody died, I wanted to get a tattoo that honored him as well as expressed how much he and my other two kids are and always will be part of my heart. I came in and gave Preston a drawing and explained each part of it. When I went in the next day, he had taken my basic idea and made it so much more beautiful and meaningful. I can't lie, I was anxious about how it was going to feel to get the tattoo, but Preston talked me off the ledge and before I knew it, he was done. Preston, your amazing !!!!

David Devroy III

Truely a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

Patrick Griffin

Recently paid a hefty price for a tattoo. countless errors. Color outside the line work and crooked line work. Clearly used to getting top dollar for low grade tattooing. Their attention to detail sucks. i had to correct them on the font size as one arm was smaller lettering than the other on the design they had drawn up. Plus several who work there are too sensitive to any criticism or expressed desire for more professional approach. My verdict. Go elsewhere.

Mike Doody

Love this place, professional, clean, and friendly. My wife and I just got ink for our 10 yr anniversary and couldn't be happier!

Colin Cooper

Great quality work but slightly pricey compared to other spots in town. Obvious passion for what they do.

Javier Ceja

Great clean and friendly location. I've gotten several tattoos from artist Preston. I would highly recommend him if you're looking for awesome colorful traditional style tattoos. He is a great artist who has done several tattoos on me and will be going back to get more. Go to Mos Eisleys and ask for Preston!

Jack Miller

The worst customer service I've ever experienced. After scheduling a consultation with Shane, I drove half an hour to the shop, only to find Shane wasn't in that day. We did the consultation anyway, and I was told to call back in a week to schedule the tattoo. I did so, and was told that Shane hadn't finished it yet, and told to call back a week later. I did so again, with the same story. When I called back the next time, being told Shane would be in the store, he wasn't, as was the story for my fourth and final call to the store. How can the part owner of a business expect to make any money without scheduling any tattoos? Never going here again.

Yeah Buddy

Very professional front desk employees and my artist was excellent! I was extremely comfortable talking to him about what I wanted to have tattooed and placement! Yes this place is and can be pricey. I don’t think the prices are outrageous . If you want to base your tattoo on price alone there are plenty of cheap shops in Michigan good luck!You get what you pay for. When you find a talented artist that’s a professional too! To me that’s worth the money!

Angie Bookie

Called today to inquire about getting my sons nose pierced. Front desk person who answered the phone was very short with me in letting me that they do not offer piercings anymore. I then asked her if she could refer me to a business that does - to which she replied that she does not know anyone that does piercings.

HONEST ABE

Pretentious. Plain and simple. We get it, the industry has changed. You’re all artists now and the customers should appreciate the opportunity to have your artwork displayed on their body. Couple problems with that.....they’re paying you.....and they have options! You may not feel the sting of poor customer service or a lack of communication/follow-up protocol right now, but the more places that open up, the tighter that squeeze is going to get. Other places in town are building their reputations on standards of customer service, making the customers feel welcomed and appreciated. Someone’s going to look at the books one day and wonder what happened......hint: it’s happening now. The staff thinks their time is more valuable than the time of their paying customers.....that’s how kids run an after school club, not how adults run a successful business. There wasn’t the competition 5 years ago that there is now, they better get reactive, it’s obvious they weren’t proactive. This is probably one of those places that does “pretty well” and has no idea how much more revenue that they could be generating......oh well.

Troy Roersma

Their artists are very skilled. It's very clean and nice inside. Their prices are pretty high and the artist I had didn't have any "chair side" manor which was a little off putting for my first tattoo, but he seemed to know what he was doing and everything turned out well.

Ellen Tran

Customer service isn't the best

Jim Schultz

Award winning Tattoos. Great artists & service. Tx so much ; )

chad reichert

We had an idea for tattoos spur of the moment and they were able to get us in and do great work.

Garrit Hensley

Skilled artists and competitively priced

Rat Scribe

I got a tattoo from Preston not too long ago and I love it! I keep seeing people complain about pricing but for the amount of time put into my tattoo along with just how amazing it looks, I say the price was more than fair. Totally excited to come back for more!

Anastasia Riley

I have 2 tattoo from here and they are beautiful. The staff is great. The environment is clean and warm. No more piercing unfortunately.

Tori Baker

Highly recommend this place. Shawn helped me fix an old tattoo that I wanted covered up and did an AMAZING job!

Sarah Lang

They did great work, clean and well priced!

Kate Nachtegall

I love this place, it’s the only shop I will go to get ink. I went somewhere else once and it was a mistake.... that Mos Eisley’s has to fix. I have gone to three different artists and they were all great, Shane is my fav.

Cameron Hutson

Best tattoo artists in town that take their time to ensure the best final product

Kim Ellerbrock

So far so good, I will update after I get my tattoo. Consult went well though.

David Lamar

Great place to get a tattoo! It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for; they did a fantastic job! Very friendly and laid back, and are very helpful for people both new and experienced to getting tattoos.

Matt Marzolf & Lexi Schaab

Mos Eisley’s has a creative, friendly, and talented staff, that takes great care and attention to detail from start to finish; great communication when scheduling and drafting pieces, thoughtful in completion of tattoo and good humored!

Kate Van Wingen

I have one brilliant piece from an artist here, and another monstrosity from a different artist here. Unfortunately the tattoo that is always visible is the horrible one. Definitely research your artist’s work before getting anything done.

mofomuzic

As an out of towner I spoke with several co-workers who have ink about a reputable shop and Mos came up, and man, they nailed it. Reasonably priced, professional and most importantly, great job. Highly recommended and bonus points for being named after the fictional town from Star Wars: Mos Eisley on Tatooine. Get it, Tatooine – tattoo.. That’s pretty cool.. And don’t get anything douchy either. Austin TX has enough of that crap!

Dawn Babb

We stopped in after lots of research in the area to discuss pricing and appointment times. We were able to be fit in for my daughter's tattoo which was much more simpler than mine. She received her first tattoo by Preston. He was very kind, professional and did an awesome job! I'm seeing Nick later in the month!!!

Tanner Ward

Best shop in Grand Rapids. You get what you pay for.

Paul Mailloux

Great experience for the first time, walked us through nicely

Mj Dimitriou

Quality, professional, clean, and courteous!

Heather Zeboor

I got all my first body piercings at Mos Eisley's from 12-15 years ago before I moved to Boston, MA & Portland, OR... inbetween I visited them and remember the old location on Division in Wyoming. The staff was always very friendly and knowledgeable. I would have liked to have gotten my first ink there also, but it ws a bit too far a hike from Oregon! The reason I hit up Mos Eisley's all those years ago was because I am a huge Star Wars fan....good thing I was!

Alexandria Denhof

Amazing experience both sessions I have had. Erik is a beyond exceptional artist and really knows what he is doing. And very fair priced for how much detail and the size of my tattoo. I'm going in for my last session this week and very excited. I would definitely recommend this tattoo place to anyone that wanted a realism tattoo.

Liz Gerger

Great artists, sad they stopped doing peircings but highly recommend for tattoos they are very trustworthy and great

Gary Bronson

I took my Daughter here for her first Tattoo. Shop was clean and everyone was friendly and professional. Excellent craftsmanship. Well worth the price. Will be back for more tatt's.

John Welch

Super clean and professional. Got set up for my first tattoo here.

Sarah Swinehart

Shane is a great artist. Love his work. Very comfortable atmosphere

Tara Veldkamp

In 2007 I went there to get my tongue pierced. Worst customer service EVER. Standard $50 price. However the person doing the piercing was crude, crass and downright unfriendly. I hope he doesn't work there anymore

Ryan Moore

A little pricey for smaller tattoos, but clean professional and legit

Rebecca Olthoff

Honestly the worse experience at a tattoo parlor. We were greeted by a rude, young lady who looked around 20 or so. My friend went to talk to them about tattoos first they took her to the back with one person. I was next to talk to which …

Brandon Canute

Shane did some impromptu work and I couldn’t be happier!!!

Hannibal Martinez

The guy who helped design my tattoo, Brantley, is an exceptional artist. I had a rough idea of what I wanted, and he definitely helped bring it to life. I really like that the staff makes suggestions and works with you to make sure you get a quality, lasting piece. They even follow up with calls and emails to verify the time for your appointment. We got the line work done and I'll be returning in the next couple months to finish the coloring. I also think it's pretty neat that they have a fancy touch screen register.

Claire Bokma

Great shop! Super clean and skilled artists. Fun locations too.

Samantha Davidson

Lovely job from Brently, not even finished and it's already worth the effort.

danny reynolds

Great artists

Whitney Irmeger

The cleanest tattoo shop I’ve ever been too. The receptionist was so funny and friendly. Nick the tattoo artist was amazing. It was my friends first time and he treated her amazingly. He was curtisous and wanted to make sure she was completely comfortable with her decision. We were walk ins on a time limit and they worked with us and got us in and out with time to spare. Nick is an amazing artist. I highly recommend this place. First timers, this is the best place to go!!

Caden Colegrove

Austin was awesome and really accommodating!

Gary Gribble

Great experience and work from Eric as usual.

Erika Marquez

They tell you to be on time for your appointments or they will start charging the hourly rate even if you are not there, but when you show up on time and they are not ready to start they don't take that into consideration. Appointment at 5 didn't start till 6:20 and then I was over charged and they won't refund me instead she said they would credit me for next time. I assure you there won't be a next time. Don't bother with this place defiantly didn't get what I paid for and trust me I paid a lot.

Steve Blackburn

Never been here, don't have tattoos, this is not really a review. Just stumbled upon this place on Google.. A big round of applause to the person who thought of the name for this shop. Mos Eisley is the space port on the planet Tatooine in Star Wars.... Mos Eisley's.... Tattoo.... huh? huh? That's pretty damn ingenious. 5 stars for the name!

Dr.Greens CBDoils

Have got work done by Preston bf! His sailor jerry is flawless frfr. Just scheduled next piece in my sleeve. This purple og bud is going over the top of my elbow.

Mike

Had a great time & was surprised by the fair price for the caliber of work done! Recommended for sure.

Ana Martinez

Shane did an amazing job and took the time to work through the design with me.
