Reviews of Bad Donkey Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Monicka Phipps

This is the only place to get your tattoos done!! Their work is phenomenal and very reasonably priced!! I always have rooster aka Mitch or Jim do mine. But I would trust any of them to do my tattoos.

Kelly Barber

Had great 1st tattoo experience.

We LOVE Bad Donkey Tattoo!!!!!! My boyfriend is a walking billboard of Leo & Jared's awesome work! He refuses to get tattoos from anyone else. We love The Bad Donkey Tattoo and the staff! Very clean & professional! I don't have as many tats as my boyfriend but the ones I do have were also done by Leo & Jared and get compliments on them everyday! They have the best shop at the Lake of the Ozarks!

Shellie See

AMAZING work, especially by Jared! He provides superior work ethic, wonderfully, creative designs, and is never too busy to be professional. He has taken time out of his day over and over again to make things work for me and my family. I highly recommend Bad Donkey Tattoo to anyone getting tattoo services in the Lake Area! Go see Jared, Leo or any of the other employees. You won't be disappointed!

Got a tattoo with Mitch last Sunday. He was fantastic getting me in last minute and I adore his work. The color is amazing and it’s been healing so nicely and not a line out of place. Everyone there was so kind and patient. Really great place and will be getting all my future tattoos here.

Brandon Silvers

Pam Gerhardt

Got my first tattoo their by Kenney. We talked and joked the whole time which put me at ease. It is awesome. I love it. I keep having public comments about how people want the same thing.

I got an industrial piercing back in June 2018 and Tad was amazing. He answered all of my questions, very polite and caring. Thank you Tad, I love it!

Laura Milan

This is THE only place my husband and I will ever get work done again!!! I swore never to have a name tattooed on me, but I did.... :) Leo did such a fantastic job it looks more like an awesome piece, then you notice its a name. They all take their time and make sure you get exactly what you want. I am going back for sure!!! Anyone that works on you acts like its their own tat. They know their craft!!!!

Jasmine Hamilton

I will go back for tats here because I love my new tattoo that JIM did on me! He was very nice, great at his job, all around a good man!!! If u need a tattoo go to Bad Donkey and ask for Jim.... My name Jessica Hamilton... So even if ur not from the area and on vacation and want a tattoo...best place at the Lake to get one!!!!

I can't speak highly enough about Bad Donkey Tattoo! Particularly Leo, who has inked myself, my husband and even my mom :) The shop is very clean and friendly and we loved Leo's work. We will be back for more ink!

Joe Parsons

Well worth the wait!!! Leo did a sick ass cover up on my forearm!!! Make sure you schedule ahead and you won't be sorry. Check out Leo's portfolio. This dude is the best artist for hundreds of miles!

Akblue

Always a interesting time and great work at Bad donkey!

reid johnson

After many hours Leo and I finally finished my sleeve! Went from nothing to covering the entire arm! The skill and craftsmanship is incredible. I highly recommend Bad Donkey Tattoo as well as Leo for any work you need or want done. I'm blown away about how this turned out and I get nothing but compliments. Leo is excellent at taking your idea and making it come to life. I will definitely be back for more!

Really like the people & atmosphere quality work can't complain

Kimberlee Stewart

First time going there, I called around questioning there knowledge & there hands experience. I was looking for Daith piercing. The daith piercing is said to correspond an acupressure point within the ear that lines up with the digestive system. I've endured the pain for migraines headaches all my life. The staff was great, answer my question, they even stay late piercing my ears. excellent experience, yes I tell everybody. Go check it out...

Cry Babyy

Amazing! I wouldn't go anywhere else now after going to them just once!

Jeff Draper

Russ Russ was awesome, best tat I have, clean lines, good color, very solid. Shop and other staff were really cool, all designs welcome and important, took my design and made it better!

DA Coffman

Jared rocks! Awesome attention to detail and very creative! Best in the area!

Amber Robertson

I am from out of town and wasn’t quite sure what was reputable in town. I highly recommend Kenny! I went into get my daith pierced due to headaches. She was extremely knowledgeable, comforting and walked me through every step. What a blessing and really and enjoyable experience.

Kylie Bonham

I made the spontaneous decision to get my first tattoo here while on a trip with some friends and I am so glad I did!! As someone who loves to plan everything and know exactly what is happening, they made it a very smooth process. Tad was super funny and made me feel relaxed about the whole thing. I would highly recommend coming here!!

Allanah Roberts

Awesome place and awesome people

Sandra Holsman

Got me in without an appointment, excellent work!!! I'm so happy with my tattoo, thank u Mitch!!

Jason Harris

I had Leo put together a Captain America/Winter Soldier tattoo for my calf, all I can say is that man has amazing talent. What he came up with on paper was better than anything I had imagined. After 5 hours of work he was done and what he drew on paper didn't even compare to what the finished product on my calf looked like. All of the artists at Bad Donkey are talented and extremely nice. We will always drive to Bad Donkey from KC for any of our ink.

Justin Rogers

Phenomenal place. 8 straight hours of tattooing and Jered has no problem keeping my mind off the tattoo pain, kept me laughing always asking if I needed a break or was good to keep going. Would never think about going anywhere else. 10 of 10 would recommend to everybody. Blew my mind with the artwork, detail, and then price of such a detailed piece. Beyond happy

Doris Drummonds

Was told by staff member that he wouldn't do a Cubs tattoo, not very nice after sitting there an hour, went to Rabbits Foot they were great

Shelby Thomas

Jared was fantastic! He did an excellent job on my new tattoo. What an awesome group of people! GO CHIEFS!

Christa Hart

I had my bachlorette party at the lake and my moh & i wanted to get tattoos. We both got small arrows and they turned out perfect. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The over all vibe of the shop was super laid back and everyone had a great sense of humor. I had made an appointment and Leo was ready for us when we got there. We are both in love with our tattoos. The line work is amazing and Leo was able to really capture what we wanted. Even though we were getting just little tattoos we were treated as well as any other customer, something other shops don't do. The prices were really reasonable, which was a big plus too. Bravo, Bad Donkey.

Monte Stewart

Fantastic experience and quality work done at the bad donkey. Went in with just a basic idea and Leo turned my idea into a work of art. I will definately drive the three and a half hours one way from home to go back for my next tatoo

Madlyn Jennings

The time effort and talent that was put into my tattoo was very impressive. The shop is very clean and well decorated and the entire staff display the utmost professionalism. I recommend everyone who wants a tattoo to go here.
