Reviews of Stl Ink (Tattoo Shop)

Janine Wohadlo

Even though I didn't get the piercing done here, they were super helpful when my dermal rejected me. It's been about a week and it healed up perfectly. What could've been a super stressful experience was not, thanks to the great people here.

James Bright

Wow, I have been to a lotta shops but at STL ink is by far one of the best. From the owner to desk guy all great people.. One of North County's Jem's a very unique place I'd recommend it to all of my friends!!!

Erin Walz

I got my first tattoo and my industrial piercing here. Both the guy that did my tattoo and the guy that did my piercing were insanely cool and nice, plus they kept a squeamish baby like me calm throughout the process. The environment is also incredibly clean and professional. This place is wonderful and I'm definitely coming back if I decide to get more tattoos/piercing.

Krista Lawhorn

I was passing by the shop with a group of friends and asked if we could stop so I could price a piece I wanted. They said they closed at 11 pm and we walked in just a few minutes after 10 (plenty of time to answer my question ) and was approached rudely and was told I was crazy if I was wanting to get tattooed "this late". Thanks for answering that question for me.

Zackarias Warfel

I will always come back and back again for future tattoo work!

Doc Wilson

It's an awesome place awesome staff

The best tattoo studio in STL

Tanya McLaughlin

Stopped by tonight with my daughter to get tattoos. Employee at the desk was busy with his lady friends and looked annoyed when we walked in. When we told him what we were wanting, he shortly said, "We have an hour wait on tattoos". I said that was fine. He looked more annoyed and said, " I mean, it's AT LEAST an hour wait". Was trying to leave our money in N. County but drove to the city instead, where they appreciated our business.

Friendly service! Emily did a great job on my piercing. Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Ashley Estes

I was tattooed here by Lucky. He was super professional and the shops itself was clean and well maintained.

Seth Allar

Everyone is very friendly. These folks are professionals. Do not trust a young kid at a mall or store for piercings. The staff here will treat your body with respect and safety. Each time I visit the wait is not long, try to arrive upon opening if possible (but not necessary). Great business!

Lauren Burrill

I went to St. Louis Ink Tattoo Studio to get my back dermals removed and Chris was amazing! He got them out with in 10 minutes even though I was screaming and cussing he put up with me! Lol Go see Chris for all your piercings!!!

Paul Lucero

Emily is fantastic! The crew there rocks, will definitely be back for more ink

Brian Gates

Going to be up front, the only reason I didn't give a one star is because they participate in a great event with that 20% of sales go to an animal rescue group (which is where I got mine done). The atmosphere and people were friendly and great, but this is a tattoo shop so I am writing this review based on the tattoo I got. While my artist was friendly, if you look at the picture (excuse the sheen, I have a healing ointment on it) it says everything I need to. The sloppiest work I have had done. It was only a simple triangle, 1 line, and 3 circles. As you can see, the lines and shading are poor at best.

Lincoln Calvin

Pretty chill atmosphere...tattoo artist are good

Myself, my boyfriend and my son have all visited this shop at the high recommendation of a good friend. 3 different artists who encouraged us to be creative and also gave us exactly what we were looking for. The shop is nice & clean and the artists definitely know what they're doing. Fairly priced compared to some shops in the area. We will all be back, and we will recommend all 3 of these artists every time. Thanks guys!

My experience there was very nice and professional. I've had two tattoos done here and each time was a good experience. I look forward to going back soon to get a bad tattoo covered up.

Rabbit 8511

Very informative.

さいちょう

Cash only! The people are pretty nice and funny with decent vibes. Doesn't tend to cost too much in comparison to other shops but sometimes it can. Go for a quote! Piercings are nicely priced. I'd go here for smaller tattoos, flash tattoos, piercings and specific art work.

Alessandro Romano

My wife and I got matching tattoos for our wedding, a couple of years ago. I brought my own design, chose an artist from his work and asked for some slight embellishment. He got back to me pretty quickly with his additions, and before long we were in the studio getting our ink. To this day we get tons of compliments on those tattoos. Everything in the shop was clean, safe, and made us feel comfortable. I would recommend this shop.

Crystal Burch-Ford

The staff is courteous and informative with a strong emphasis on education and respect for autonomy. The shop itself is incredibly clean and inviting. No part of the experience is overwhelming , everyone is there to ensure that you get exactly what you're looking for. From piercings to tattoos , you cannot go wrong here!

Erin Ross

TBH I haven't been here yet, but one of my childhood friends owns it. I will definitely get my next tattoo here and update my review when I do.

My fiancé and I got matching tattoos on our ring fingers. It’s different size letters and it’s sloppy. We paid $60 each. I got an tattoo done there years ago and it was fine. Not sure what happen smh

Amy Neil

Hands down the best shop in St Louis. I have been going to both locations consistently over the past few years and I have always been treated with the upmost respect and have always felt welcome. Everyone in both locations are professional, thorough, and do a phenomenal job!! I've never had any complaints. Thanks guys!!

Aigner Jalisha

The shop is nice however it seemed to me that the guy I spoke to was over pricing me based on his own rates rather than what I would be charged by any other artist that I would have spoken to from this location.

Nancy Tucker

Great shop with artists that are serious about their work! Love the whole vibe of the place; Mike and Morgan are great people with hearts of Gold!

Mammie Taylor

Great place to get piercing

Mac Kutter

A great place to get a tattoo or piercing. Very professional.

Josh Standfuss

good people

E. Trujillo-Tiroch

He used a "twisty" nose ring for piercing and then I was not able to use straight nose rings without a lot of struggle. I never had this done before but my girlfriend who has, said he did it slower than normal, made the pain last longer (excruciating for me!) She also has not had a good experience with this piercing and changing the rings out. I finally let mine close up because i could not put a hoop ring in for anything and I developed bumps on the outside and inside of my nostril.

Andrea Giles

Very clean and professional

Shaunie Greenwade

Shawn Smith is a very talented artist, but he over books appointments and has no consideration for clients time if your tattoo is is not making him a lot of money, mines "120". Also he makes you pay a deposit to secure your appointment that he can't even meet. He waits till I reach out a day before my appt to rescheduled both my appointments, instead of letting me know in advance. He has an assistant who obvious doesn't do their job well. Just Unprofessional!!

john long

Cool place

Abby Bast

Chris did a great job with us.

Beverly Versey-Riley

allahna lacy

I came in and a lady was sitting behind a computer eating popcorn. She said the piercer would be there in a minute so I sat down. Then she says " he bullshitting come on" then she starts pulling out materials without putting on gloves or washing hands. Then I asked "yal don't have yal licenses and pictures up"? She says yeah here it is somebody keeps covering it. Then she starts showing me business licenses and city licenses I said I don't care about all that I want to make sure the person about to put a hole in my face is licensed. She says I asked her too aggressively

Destiny Reese

We took our 3 year old to get her ears pierced and Chris and Emily were extremely courteous and helpful. My daughter decided to change her mind at the last minute, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer about it. It’s a great looking shop, too! Definitely have to walk inside to appreciate it.

This has been the one and only place I've gone and will recommend. When I first went I wanted someone patient but who had years behind them. The artist are talented, and very hard working.

Makiah, The Great

I highly recommend going to STL Ink. For my 17th birthday I decided to get my nose pierced, and after calling a few places I chose to go to STL Ink simply because the guy who answered the phone was extremely polite and answered all of my questions. Other places that I called didn't give me that "reassured" feeling. I didn't have to schedule an appointment, it was a walk in. As soon as they opened, I headed to the shop, which is in this strip mall, with plenty of parking. It sounds silly but the place has really positive vibes. The atmosphere is amazing, and the building itself is very, very clean. The art on the walls alone is worth coming to look at. Everyone is so laid back. The entire time I was there everyone was joking around. Definitely allows you to be relaxed. Because I was under 18, I had to bring my mom with me and get paperwork from them that we had to take the Vantage across the street, basically saying she signs for me. Really simple. Before, during, and after my piercing, my piercer (Patrick) explained the process, while he very meticulously cleaned and disinfected everything after taking it out of its packaging. The piercing itself was quick and virtually painless (it's more of a shock when the needle goes through). He explained after care and what to buy to clean it and it healed perfectly after 8 weeks. I called back a few times with questions and they still were just as helpful as the first time. My 18th birthday is coming up in July, and because of the experience that I had, im coming back to get another piercing and my first two tattoos. I plan to stay a customer.

April Mavros

Professional

Laurie VanDyke

Took our 16 year old daughter for her first tattoo. Couldn't have had a better experience! Everyone was so friendly. Brian is an excellent artist and made her so comfortable and relaxed while he was doing her tattoo. Highly recommend St. Louis Ink!

Bryce Ashford

Rude employees. I went there wanting to get a tattoo and showed a picture of my idea and told then what I wanted to add and the tattoo artist said, “Hmmm I can do it, but it won’t look good.” Absolutely unacceptable will never patronize them.

trill4ever 36

Love the service

Anita King

I got my Trag done on both sides for my Birthday...I was so nervous but so excited n Patrick made it an awesome experience...I will visit this shop again for sum Tatts like my daughter and her Sister did 2 weeks later

shania jones

THEY ARE AWESOME!!! GO THERE FOR YOUR 1ST TATTOO

Zack Balzer

Excellent tattoo shop. I have gotten every one of my tattoos here from the owner, Mike, and I plan to go here for every one I get in the future. Very clean and sterile environment for tattoos and piercings with very talented artists who look to give you the best experience possible.

Lisa Harbers

Went here for the first time because of their charity event for K-9 animal rescue. Got two new tattoos from Logan and love them! He did a great job and 20% of the cost went to help the animals so everyone wins ♥

Jeremeah Reeves

Best place in STL to get tatted

Sheanna Mora

I just had a septum piercing done only for it to be a crooked piercing I was told to give it a couple of days to let the swelling go down I called the shop Monday to express how disappointed I felt about the piercing I was told to come in so that he can take a look at the piercing and when he seen how badly crooked the piercing was he told me he was going to take it out and for me to wait two weeks to be re-pierced it’s crazy that you go to get things professionally done and it still turns out bad to have to go through the pain again when it should’ve been done right the first time and don’t let me leave out when taking the piercing out it was very painful and a lot of pulling and it was hurting so bad I have never been through anything like this and I have had over 10 piercings in total when I say I feel so disappointed with getting a bad piercing and to be honest I would just like my money back because I would hate to have to go through the pain a second time and it not turn out right I feel very disappointed

Avocado toast

Staff wasnt understanding of questions, some had attitudes but I got a nice tat

Mark Braun

St. Louis Ink has two locations, which provides ink, piercings, and self defense tools (fire arms, tasers, ninja stars, etc). My experiences there were fantastic. I received several tattoos from PJ. The ink is high quality, affordable, and guaranteed to last. Many people refer to having a tattoo artist. Get yours today from a specialist at St Louis Ink.

Kri Korte

The ONLY shop I go to in the STL!!! You can't go wrong with ANY of the artist/piercers!!
