I just had the pleasure of meeting Gish. She was the most knowledgeable piercer / tattoo artist I had ever met. Thank you Gish. She taught me and explained a lot to me in depth and the vibe was genuine and she made me feel at home.
My husband and I have been coming to iron lotus for years! Everyone is phenomenal! I’ve been tattooed by Jeremiah, Kristin and Trent, gotten to know them so well during our long sessions. I’ve lived around the world, but they’re unmatched. They’re great people, always make sure you’re comfortable, they’re clean/sanitary, and really just have extensive talent. I’ve never felt like they’ve been unfair in their pricing-but remember, you pay for the quality! Their work has held up great over the years. I always get compliments on my sleeves and wedding band tattoo especially. They certainly know how to saturate color!
For anyone that sits hours while getting tattoos, it is a MUST to have an environment that you enjoy and want to come back to. Iron Lotus has accomplished this to a T. The artists and clients had always been joyful to converse with and make the time fly by. Their monthly flash sheets are a fun bucket list item, the custom designs are thought through and executed, and throwing in a piercing every once in a while is always fun. Shout out to my cat lady, Morgan!
