Reviews of World Famous Monkey House Customs (Tattoo Shop)

A Rose

I've been involved with a few pieces of art coming from the owner- I'm very impressed with both the work, and work ethic. A great deal of care was evident in determining exactly what the customers expectations were for all the pieces as well as the experience itself. I would not hesitate to recommend this shop and the owner, Ryann Schofield, to anyone looking for permanent body art.

Love Ryann's work! The shop itself is amazing as well. Great atmosphere and brilliant work by all of the artists.

I just left the shop. I did not actually get a tattoo. I booked my appointment the 10th of May for today, the 13th of July. When I spoke to Ryann on the phone she asked what I was looking for and said to send her pictures of my likes. She stated she would come up with a design off from my picture examples but would not email the design, which I totally get. She would not want to put the work into the design for me to take it to another artist. I get there today and was told she was running 30 minutes late. She was right in front of us but could not stand up and say 2 words to me about running late. The lady behind the desk had to. (The lady behind the desk had an attitude). After waiting said 30 minutes I was getting irritated. Finally after waiting 45 minutes I asked for a refund of my $40 deposit since she could not hold up to her end of the contract of holding my reservation. I asked if I could at least see the design before cancelling so I could see if I liked it. She and the lady behind the desk said that she creates the design with me when the appointment starts, and asked if I have ever been to a tattoo parlor before. I have 6 tattoos, so yes, I have been to one before. Never to such an unorganized and unprofessional shop like this. Don’t waste your time going here because they don’t care about your time. And I did not get my deposit back even though she didn’t hold up to her end of the contract.

Had a response from the owner, claiming I've never gotten a tattoo there. It's funny because my tattoo was posted on your website.. I wonder how I can post a photo here, I don't see any option to. My husband and I got matching tattoos, only thing is, his looks like a toddler drew it. Funny a post mine, and not his. I'll because we didn't like your original design. It's so crazy you say I've never been to your shop, or had any interactions with you, that's why I have a piece of paper with all the instructions for care from world-famous monkey House customs, oh and a tattoo..

Terrible terrible business. Can't take any criticism from others and is extremely unprofessional. Take your business elsewhere.

Taylor O'Neil

Ryann is an amazing tattoo artist. She will take your idea and make it even better, she also never starts tattooing until you are 100% satisfied that it’s exactly what you want. She has done my last two and I will definitely be getting more and I would highly recommend her and every artist in her shop, and I do when people ask me about my tattoos.

Melissa Kubicki

First I want to say, these reviews should be honest and focused on what you went there to have done. A) did the artist work with you to conceptualize your idea. B) was the workplace clean and sterile? C) did they attempt to make you as comfortable as possible? And D) did you get an awesome tattoo at a reasonable price?? These are artists, not owners of 5 star hotels and restaurants. Whining should only be reserved for the above mentioned reasons. That being said, yes, yes, yes and YES!! Thanks for an amazing tattoo!!

I love my tattoos! Ryann has tattooed me for about two years now. She is one of several artists that have tattooed me over the last decade. I value her work because she takes her time with placement and my comfort has always been a priority to her. She can’t do her best work if I’m uncomfortable! Ryann is incredibly blunt. I will tell that to anyone. However abrasive this seems at the time, her advice is good advice. Her ability to be clear on when something isn’t sensible, safe, or artistic has saved me from regretting a very permanent service. Her shop is clean and friendly and supportive.

Worth the trip to Stowe!

Coll Freeman

Best receptionist a parlor can ask for.

Caitlyn Alden

I've had Ryann do 4 of my pieces and they've come out perfect every time! Coming back soon for a cover up!

Am I doing this right? Does my hair look good? My makeup? Is this microphone plugged in? Wait, this is an online review. FIRST OF ALL, this shop will give you a tattoo that will stab into into your skin a billion times and you know what? It hurts and it will be a.w.e.s.o.m.e. Jokes aside, Ryann and her crew are some of the most professional artists I've ever worked with on a piece. To have a shop call you to confirm your appointment shows their dedication to the care of you as a client. The products used in the tattoo process are of the highest quality and they all truly care for your health during and after the tattoo. I'll be straight forward, tattoos hurt. A lot. This shop wants and does deliver, making sure that even though a tattoo might be slightly stinging, that you're cared for from beginning to end to ease that pain. Honestly, high five this crew and hang out with them for they are like no other.

I got my tattoo done by Ryann Schofield and she charged me $400 for a forearm tattoo. Mind you this was my first tattoo ever so I wasn’t sure what the average price for one is. I recently asked her to do a rib cage tattoo of mountains and she was very rude about it as well. As I do like her work I wouldn’t recommend her to anyone unless you want to be screwed over by price or given extreme attitude.

Rachael Johnson

I love this shop! Went in yesterday for the first time. The space is really relaxed and has a cool vibe, Ryann is an amazing artist! She did such a great job and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much! We will definitely be back!

Steph Steeves

So happy with my tattoo! The artists are professional and do great work. The shop is clean and welcoming whether it’s your first or tenth tattoo. I’ll definitely be back!

Howard Alden

I've gotten four tattoos from Ryann and we are working on number 5 now. Very talented and really easy to work with. Highly recommend anyone to go to her shop.

Terri Sincyr

I've had 2 tattoos done by Ryann so far. Completely in love with both of them. Talented and professional. The shop is clean and welcoming. Always feel like part of their tattoo family while I'm there. Looking forward to my next. Highly recommend her and any of her shop mates.

Deb Ford

Ryann has done two of my tattoos and she is amazing- I get compliments on both all the time. She is so talented and her new shop is Stowe is gorgeous. I have recommended her to family and friends and will continue to do so. Definitely book an appointment with her!

Tasha Ludovici

I came in with a drawing I had done and Adam rocked at transferring it onto my arm. It needed to be incorporated with a previous tattoo and he did a flawless job. His technique for tattooing is nothing I've seen before. The staff is also fantastic and super friendly.

Lace Goff

I have gotten 2 tattoos from the shop. One from an apprentice adam and one from the owner Ryann. They are professional and so fun. I love both of my tattoos. They were super quick. I'm going back to get another from the other apprentice Anne st some point! Definitely recommend them!!!

Casey Rusin

Came here for a very important piece to represent my little brother, Ryan killed it and I’m in love!

B. M.

Ryannn is badasss. Her apprentice is soooo good as well!!!!

Hannah Cadieux

One of the artist Ryann touched up a piece for me, and started out by showing me to Another artist and their client and saying “this is what happens when you don’t get it done professionally” and continued to call me botched. When I brought up this incident at my SECOND appt with her, she then told me I didn’t even have to sit in her chair and made me feel like I wasted her time. She made me feel bad continuously, I did not feel comfortable in this shop. I’m resorting to posting a google review because Ryann messaged me personally trying to intimidate me to take the post down on Facebook, and has blocked me from the Facebook business page and her personal page where she continues to write post about me. She also posted a before and after photo of my tattoo calling it a “kitchen tattoo”, then followed with “now booking” at the end of the post to promote her business. She has now resorted to blocking everyone who has reviewed her page badly. I’ve had many of her previous clients reach out to me sharing their similar experiences as well. I will not be returning to this shop again.

Tanya Johnson

I had my second tattoo done by Anne and I couldn't be any happier. Anne's work is amazing and she just keeps getting better each time I go to see. The atmosphere at the shop is welcoming and the whole staff is awesome! I love how they're interested in seeing what the other artist is working on (I have not seen that at any other shop). Always a great time and I'll definitely will be going back! Keep up the great work!!!

maverick Rocheleau

Awful.

MARCY TAYLOR

Best tattoo, permanent cosmetics, and art as well as jewelry and lots more in Stowe. Fun and artistic ambiance, nice and friendly employees and a fabulous owner! Best experience and awesome tattoo work! Will be back again!

Charles Gagnon

I feel very welcomed and comfortable stepping into the World Famous Monkey House Customs. The quality work is beautiful, the service is helpful and happy, and I love coming back to the shop every month to see local and custom creations. I admire the teamwork, the leadership and the innovative styles of all the artists that make this experience beyond wonderful! Ryann is amazing! Thank you !!!!

R J

I love love loved the entire experiance! Ryann and the other staff at The World Famous Monkey House are friendly, knowledgeable, and completely professional. My neck tattoo ended up better than I ever imagined. From consultation to skin, I was guided from a rough idea to an absolute masterpiece. The facility is conveniently located, clean, warm, and inviting. I plan on adding many more pieces her of art to my body and will probably only ever go back to Ryann! Girl is magic! Wish I could give 10 stars!

Katelyn Tsalilis

Unprofessional

Kaylynne Airoldi

Rude and very unprofessional. Will manipulate and degrade you publicly, as well as in messages if you post an honest review of a bad experience.

Margo Thayer

About a month ago Adam Vindigni added these gorgeous flowers and vines to my little dude. It's been incredible watching this go from a sketch to my arm. Thank you sooooo much for this beauty!! Fantastic experience from the start. Adam took an idea and turned it into a gorgeous piece of art that I'm so proud to have

Linda Martin

Consulted with Adam today and set an appointment July 2 at 11:30 for my 1st tattoo.

Jacqueline Boudreau

I had my very first tattoo done at this shop and it was the most amazing low key experience. It was so clean and cozy. Adam Vindigni custom made my amazing tiny stipple tat and I can’t stop looking at it! He made me feel safe and welcomed and explained everything as it was happening. If you’re thinking of getting a new piece I would recommend any of the amazing artist at this shop! It was well worth the drive from St. Albans!

Jane Smith

Unfortunately Ryann blew out (ruined) ALL the fingers of my hand tattoo. I thought I did my homework, but she was distracted and made a big,very permanent MESS, and said "oops,sorry"... I would NEVER recommend her-she can do good work,but she gets distracted, loses focus, and leaves people permanently ruined.

samantha rossetti

Amazing all the way around! Love Ryann and her shop has a great feel and her work is so creative and detailed. Highly recommend!

Kate Peever

I took my eleven year old daughter to Monkey House to have her ears pierced. She was so excited up until the moment of truth. The woman who took care of her was amazing she spent over 20 minutes making my daughter feel comfortable. Talking her through it and even showing her how the tool would work with out an earring in it. She went above and beyond. My daughter is thrilled with her new look. I know that ear piercing is not their main job but not once did my daughter feel like she wasn’t the most important client in the studio. The place was immaculate and it was obvious that cleanliness was of the utmost importance to everyone there. We will be taking my younger daughter to Monkey House when she’ ready. We live over four hours away and I wouldn’t even consider taking her anywhere else.

Rasim Redzic

Excellent work. Friendly enviroment. Looking forward to my next one.

George Anderson

Anne gave me a fabulous tattoo, wicked friendly atmosphere

Lesley DeGraff

Best experience ever! I have several tattoos and Ryann has by far been most professional. She listened to what I was looking for and went above and beyond. Her work speaks for itself and I’ve gotten so many compliments! I would not go anywhere else and highly recommend WFMH!! Thank you for the beautiful artwork!

Brianna Gale

This place is amazing! I have had a bit of work done here and it has always been a great experience! Everyone is friendly and the space is clean and organized. A lot of talented artists and artwork on display. Would highly recommend.

Kris Taylor

Had an awsome time at her shop friendly and super relaxing art work is amazing.Will be getting lots of work done in the future from them.

Katherine Mockler

Everyone here is so friendly. Ryann did amazing work! She is incredibly talented. I absolutely love my watercolor tattoo! I am so excited to show it off. I would definitely go back here for another tattoo. Thanks, Ryann!!!

Kimmie Taylor

Amazing shop! So very talented artists . I love Ryann!! Cant wait have her create a custom piece!

joe stark

Great studio, amazing artists

Lauren F

I spent years looking for an artist to do a specific tattoo on my arm. When I met Ryann last year to do my planet tattoo I knew she was the right fit for the job. She worked so hard to put together a great tattoo that I loved. I highly recommend her and her shop. You will not regret it.

Jennifer Danyow

Ryann is amazing she has don't 90% of my tats I am always very happy with her work never have i needed it to be retouched her shop is always welcoming clean an a all around great place to go

Jesse O'Neil

Talented and friendly artists. Impeccably clean shop. Have been there multiple times and will definitely go again!

Danara Cayea

I've seen all the amazing pictures of tattoos done here. Though I didn't want something nearly as complex or amazing, they were quick to help and fit me in. Simple, small and just what I wanted. Thanks Adam and World Famous Monkey House Customs.

Holly Paquin

Ryann did an amazing job on my hollyhock tattoo! Such a relaxing and friendly atmosphere,I definitely recommend checking them out. I know I will be going back for more!
