Robert Fenner

best place to get tattooed

Candace Breeden

Just got tattoos at butches it was great. We will be going back.

Reba Parker

Always a great place to go get decorated up a bit!

Lori Lamb

Joshua was awesome. He made time in his schedule for all of my sisters to get the same tattoo together. We also asked last minute for an extra unplanned tattoo and he graciously accommodated us. The work looks great and we couldn't of asked for better service.

Natasha Orender

Took my son for his 1st piercing. He wants to go back cause they were very helpful, full of info and pretty cheap. Drove an hour to get there and it was well worth it.

Amazing and talented artist

Dawn Farr

Josh did a awesome job....i love my new tatoo and will be going back real soon

Aubrey Johnston

Got my snake bits done here. He got them uneven and pulled on them so they scarred. It was the second he was close to me that I noticed how red his eyes were and how he reeked or weed. As soon as the uneven holes were in my face I was obviously unhappy, but the guy claimed I squirmed. I had video evidence of myself showing that I had not moves because I was going to show off on fb. We went out to our car and smoked a cigarette and watched as two employees (one was my piecer) went out back and lit up a rolled joint. I tell everyone I know to avoid this place.

Brittany Boland

Butchs Tattoo and Piercing is AWESOME! I walked in during a busy time to get an ear cartilage piercing and was instantly greeted and assisted even with a shop full of customers. Andrew is very kind and knowledgeable. He did a great job with the piercing- quick and thorough while explaining the process and aftercare. I appreciated the experience and am already loving my piercing. Thx!

Rachel Rodgers

My parents have know Butch for years and has done alot of my familys tattoos. Not one time have they EVER been disappointed. Definitely the place to go!

This shop is amazing! Butch free handed an amazing Phoenix Cover up on my chest and to this day its just as vivid as it was then! I recommend this place to everyone I run into in the KC Metro area! Prices are fair and the work is outstanding!

All of my ink has been done by Butch's! I have even given my son the gift of a tattoo here!! Very talented, creative artists and they are good people too!!

Jessica Rosales

Best place ive ever been.Butch is the best

Merci Lessard

HORRIBLE communication. Lots of leading on and lies. We were told we could get in with James and when we arrived he was there and told us he was not on today and was only doing his friends tattoo (after we waited an hour) We then left and called again and was told we could get in with Steve and was told he only had 2 small tattoos ahead of us and could definitely get us in, after waiting another hour we were approached and was told we would not be able to get ours done today.

CJ O'Tool

The artist that has done the only two tattoos on me has done an amazing job on both of them. If you go in, go see Tim. He is the best at what he does and he doesnt charge an insane amount.

Casey Allen

Very talented artist

christopher Reeder

Josh did a great job on me and my wife's he was quick and has clean line work

J. Travis Loyd

Stopped in to get my daughter's ears pierced. It's a lot more challenging of a task than I expected. State of Missouri requires her to have a picture ID and a birth certificate. Some establishments won't pierce ears for a 14 year old. Butch's does and I can't offer a higher recommendation. We got there about 15 minutes before they close and could very easily Been Told we were too late. Not at Butch's. The guys were cool and gave us our paperwork to fill out and got to us just as soon as they were finished with the customer in front of us. As a parent you want to know that the environment is clean and the materials used will be sterile. That's exactly what we found at Butch's. All the equipment was opened from sterile bags in front of us and he showed us where he wiped all the surfaces down with disinfectant before we came in. The piercing itself went very smooth and 6 weeks later my daughter is very happy with the results. Final comment is on cost. Butch's was very reasonable. I had shopped other piercing establishments in town who were asking for nearly twice what Butch's charged. Made it easy for me to give the guy a nice tip. Will definitely be back if she needs another one and would recommend it to all of our friends and family.

Travis Anthony

Hands down the only shop I'll go to, been going there for the last 20 years and will continue to push anyone I know to go there, the artist are great at what they do and they also have probably the best and most precise piercer in the area

Fisher Bryce

Highly recommend this Tattoo Shop. All the artists are very professional/friendly, super creative, very detailed and do amazing work. Very reasonably priced for such high-quality work! They are patient and friendly.

Jennifer Box

Only place my family goes. I got my first tattoo 20 yrs ago and it still looks great..

Mclovin Love

Elizabeth James

Great atmosphere, clean, fun and talented staff. I'll be returning!

Lisa Bagdonas

Josh is a great tattoo artist!

Rain Caudillo

I absolutely love going here. Such a fun environment. Butch has done all my tattoos and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Definitely recommend going here to get your next tattoo or piercing.

Lee Ann Ellaave

It was quick and easy. Wasn't as expensive for a tongue piercing as I thought. Andy was very formal and funny. He made me feel better about getting my tongue pierced. I will definitely be going here for my tattoo cover up!

Shannon Follis

Heather did my small arm tattoo. She did great. Nice shop, clean.

Natalie Gwodz

I would highly recommend this place to any one interested in getting any kind of piercing. I walked in and it was very clean and was greeted as soon as I walked in. I walked in with the intention of getting my daith pierced. I sat down and the guy who was doing the piercing, and he explained to me how he didn’t think a daith piercing would be right for me because of the shape of my ears. This was extremely comforting knowing that he wasn’t just going to push a needle through my ear just so he would get my money even though my body would most likely reject it. He then said we could settle on a different piercing if i would like. He walked though what would help compliment the shape of my ears and the other piercings i have on my ears. he went though all the equipment he was using and what he would be doing to complete the piercing. after, he talked me though the healing process, but didn’t try and sell me some gimmicky ‘rapid healing kit’. a very professional, personable and knowledgeable staff that i would recommend to anyone.

Angie Eckert

Got right in for a nose piercing. Great job. Very reasonable and talked me through it.

Donald Shelley

Seems clean for the most part I guess. I DID NOT like the inconsistency in regard to their "body piercing" aka nose piercing policy. We were recommended to take my daughter to Butchs for her tiny little nose piercing she has wanted for years because she has always loved the style of the dainty itty- bitty, CZ round studs (it is as small as a pencil tip, if not smaller). Of course when we went in (after being sent by a couple ::) to remain nameless teens that got theirs done at 13 and the other at 14 with no issues and NO ADULT PRESENT mind you...) my daughter was SUPER EXCITED! I was with her to be sure I could give my PARENTAL consent and they STILL said "No way we can do ANYTHING until she turns 15!" (Which at the time was less 2 weeks AND were going to require her her birth cert and Pic ID and something else when we were to return at that point I stopped listening due to my disgust with their pick and choose method of implementing their so called "strict in-house policy". Sad to know my daughter would have probably had a better chance to get her nose pierced if she had gone completely on her own or with another underage scantily clad friend....Talk about scary, sad and unfortunately seemingly true!!

Justine Everhart

Have been going to bleeding heart seeing various artists for the last 10 years. I can say without a doubt that although everyone I've deal with there, Jared takes the cake. He is very friendly and personable and does a gray job at making you feel comfortable. Also full of knowledge. I thought I was done getting piercings but not after dealing with him for the first time!

Shannon Rakestraw

Best shop in the Metro !!

Donna Flying Horse

Great bunch of people working here! Love Heather!!

April Martin

Great job on my piercing, he was gentle and it healed nicely.

Lisa Wilson

Good and friendly service. Got my daith pierced and Andy did a great job.

Shawn Leslie

Great experiences at Butchs. Been a fan for years through multiple locations. Keep it up

Crissi Tomlinson

Best Tattoo Shop...PERIOD!!! Butch has done my entire body And I get compliments Every Single Day!!!

Hailey Martin

Went in for a walk in, and felt immediately welcome! Clean shop with professional and kind artists. I was lucky enough to work with Tim on some script above my elbow and its absolutely beautiful, easily my favorite piece I've ever gotten. I definitely plan on returning and working with Tim on more work in the future and I would highly recommend this shop to anyone in the area looking for a great tattoo. Clean, professional, welcoming, quick, and incredible work.

cameron kennedy

I went in today and I was nervous and it my first tatto and my tattoo artist name was tim and he did outstanding and I really like it and am very happy with his work

Will Reed

Highly recommend them. Great work. Clean and friendly. Great music too

Joshua Dorries

I have been going to butch for a long time. He is the only Tattoo artist I go to and my family goes to. But I know for a fact his crew is badass also cause I send friends up there to see them. If it’s not Butch himself that takes care of my friends and anyone else I send up there it is one of them. My family and I will never go anywhere else for our amazing Art. Thank you Butch and everyone at the shop for all the fun and laughs while we are there and the amazing Art.

Chris Cox

Only place I’ll go now, butch does amazing work. He’s done 5 of my 8 tattoos. Going back soon for another sleeve

Chris Plot

Got an awesome dragon ball z kid buu tattoo by James highly recommended

Farrah Shriber

Clean place and awesome artists.

Tana Brim

Logan is awesome he did an amazing job

tim stubbs

Great place to get a tat wife love's hers.

Fred .Fraburplesac

I don’t even know if they do good work because I couldn’t even get past a rude 3 minute conversation with one of the staff. Basically all he was capable of clearly communicating was the things that were not done there.. piercings, touch ups, custom work, or hd. So basically you pick a design out of a book.

Chelsea Abbott

I highly recommend butchs tattoo. Great service, great company, amazing work. Every Artist is great at what they do. I will be going back to get my #7 tattoo.

Brian Wilson

Tim did an unbelievably awesome job on a portrait for me! Shop is super clean, all staff is very friendly and talented! They require a deposit to hold your spot which comes comes out of the total price. Overall one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at any shop I’ve ever been in.

Jimmy Petitt

Badass

Amber Grant

They did a great job on my tounge! It didnt even hurt and was super quick!!

Amy Darst

Very good place to get work done. It's clean, great atmosphere and the artist are friendly. Very reasonable pricing.

Alexis Cumpton

My tattoos look amazing and they healed great.

Joshua Smith

Love love looooove this shop. It's where I've been filling out my lord of the rings sleeve. Josh is an amazing artist, especially when it comes to black, gray, and shading. The artists are pretty easy to talk to, and they're all down to earth. All the artwork I've seen by them are great! Can't wait to finish this lotr sleeve! Scheduling a tattoo is especially easy, they've been able to get me in within days after planning.

Ashlie Sheets

I came in for a piercing and he made me feel so comfortable and relaxed.. I would definitely go back to him for my next.

Cheryl Evans

They were very friendly and professional they were very helpful and so nice that I will go back very soon for more ear pericings they made you feel comfortable and they helped to make you feel at ease

Tiffany Gehrke

Highly recommended!! Been a customer for over 14 years. Have piercings and tattoos from them and they still look amazing!

Diva Land Tutu's

My son has gotten 2 tattoos here. His only ones. He's very happy and his tattoos look great. Butch is awesome. All the guys are laid back and friendly. A lot of tattoos artists are a holes. But we have always been treated great by everyone here. Prices are reasonable. I don't feel overcharged like I have at other places. We will definitely be back a lot. Lol

Nicole Larsen

Many of my tats come out of this shop. Excellent service and Amazing work!

Paul Bradley

Tim is AMAZING. Did a great job, very professional. Highly recommend.

Cindy Brown

The work is first rate...will be using them for my next tattoo

scott stark

Good friendly people. Very excellent work. Reasonable pricing.

Anthony Fienhage

Came here for a walk-in. Talked to a few people and was told whoever was going to do my tattoo had a few in front of me, and it would be around an hour to get me in, which was fine by me. Two hours later, somebody who came in later than me is getting their tattoo started, and nobody from the shop had spoken a word to me. At that point I just left. I get that if they had an appointment they go ahead of me, but i have no idea if they did because nobody would acknowledge I was even there. I understand as a walk in I am not priority but at least tell me what is going on. So if you want to waste your time, head on over to Butch's.

Tara Young

Very professional. Went in to talk about a cover up and they were very realistic about what could or couldn't be done with it.

Nikki Walsh

Josh did an amazing job on our mother, son tattoo. The barbell with weights and our name turned out better than I could have imagined. It has so much detail and red fades to the black flawlessly. I have a huge fear of needles and he made me feel calm and explained everything that was going to happen. My son will be going back in December for another tattoo.

Emily Williamson

Super friendly and my tattoo came out great! I totally recommend Jacob!!

Trevor Clark

Good Place to go too.

cameron bush

Awesome tattoo shop! Everyone is super cool and all the artists are very talented! Definitely recommend!

Mirinda S

Went and got my nipples pierced here this last weekend. The entire experience was quick and simple. I’d say painless....but ya I had two needle shoved through my flesh so definitely not painless.

Victor McDow Jr

Butch is always top notch with his work.

Ki Souron

This is a great place if you don't care about what you get, or about being jerked around. My daughter is an artist, and she designed a tattoo for me. I shopped artists for months and found a few we thought capable of reproducing her work. At the bottom of the list was one person from this shop. Because of location I wanted it, the picture would need to be shrunk down a little. We were given a quote for between $100 and $150 and told it would be no problem, but due to personal circumstances I needed to put it off until recently. We called to try and make an appointment, since it is nearly an hours drive from me. We were told that it wouldn't be an issue getting in, but it was walk in only. On the way we were behind a car accident and so we called to get in letting them know we were on the way. We were told that it would not be an issue getting in and they still would not let us make an appointment. Now here is when the real issues started. We arrived and they had no availability. We were told "It's tax season on a Friday, so I do't know what to tell you." That is not the bad part. The guy then decided HE wanted to redesign the tattoo my daughter had made. What we wanted was not relevant. The fact this was a tattoo designed by my daughter simply did not matter. He was going to do it HIS way and change a LOT of elements. In addition, he could not shrink it down like EVERY OTHER artist said they can. Now maybe they are not skilled enough, but more likely it is that a bigger tattoo costs more and they were trying to get more money from us. We were then quoted a new price and instead of $100-$150, it was now going to be $300+. So if you want to get jerked around and have someone try and hustle you for money then put whatever they feel like on you, then this is the place for you.

Marissa Webber

Got a Monroe piercing done. Was just a walk-in, and only had to wait maybe 15 min or so. Andy was super quick, clean, and professional. I was a little nervous but he made the process go by with so much ease! I was impressed. Would definitely come back.

Kevin Flint

Great work great people

Desaray Jackson

Second piercing for my daughter and she loves it here. Returning customers for sure!!!!

Kevin Boyer

Butch.is.good.dude.always.hookes .me.up.thanks.butch

Merindia Wilson

I haven't actually been inside this shop, yet! I do drive by it on my way to work though. From the outside it does look well maintained and there's always people around. I am following its page on Facebook and I'm never disappointed by the tattoos that I see. I'd love to actually work here if given the chance (;

Elisha Naumann

Love Butches our family's shop hands down ! Won't ever go anywhere else ! Speaking of that will be going soon to get more tats !

Allen Jackson

A great place to get a tattoo or piercing! All the guys and gal was very helpful. Zach yates is one of the best artists I have came across. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Jess Dudley

Darrynn Craig
