Tattoo Shops near Independence

“Ive had 2 tattoos from John here, he did an amazing job. He is patient, helpful and very kind. He helped me plan a way to fix a tattoo that I have from a previous tattoo artist. I even convinced my mother in law to come see him and she got both arms covered in his work. I definitely recommend going here for your tattoo needs.“

“I had an 18 year old tattoo that wasn’t done very well the first time around and I was dreading getting it redone because I really didn’t think that I could be made to look any better. I had a consult with Madison, we went over ideas and just decided to re-line and recolor it instead of adding or covering it up. I am so happy with the result! She was able to bring a very meaningful tattoo back to life and even made it so much better- I don’t think it looked this good the first time it was done!! I also decided to get some new work- she was super open and patient with my idea and the tattoo looks exactly how I wanted! Very happy with the whole experience-the whole place was great-and her prices were very reasonable (I think she should have charged a lot more).“

“I have never felt so comfortable and heard at any other shop. Julian is absolutely amazing, he listened to me, answered my questions, was absolutely HILARIOUS, and my tattoo came out looking exactly as i had hoped. Amazing shop, amazing people, 100% recommend.“

“Great place to get tattoos there not going to pressure you into something you don't want they will do exactly what you ask for customer service is great much appreciated tattoo parlor.“

“Great Service, Clean Environment, Talented Artists with an awesome vibe. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to get their next tattoo!“

“I followed Matthew here. He’s done two portraits for me, one color and one black. I couldn’t be happier. This cat is known internationally for his work. He is a very affable guy and the conversation while stippling my skin is good. I have the utmost respect for him. The two he did are of dogs I lost over the years. It must be pointed out I loved these two more than most people.
The black one of The Duke is one week fresh and the one in color of Greystone is 12 years old. Please understand I’m a swarthy, olive skinned Arab and covered in camel hair so Greystone is a little obscured.
The other artists are upper crust too. Nobody here has worked on me but Matthew but I’ve seen their work too and they are also barking with the big dogs. Oh, and the price is more than reasonable. You won’t be disappointed.

Cleanliness: Matthew Hockaday runs a clean and orderly shop. Every precaution is taken for client safety.“

“Me and my friend came in for pricing information and were able to get tattooed right there. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. We both had Joey and he answered all the questions we had, he was also very sweet and funny. He's experienced and light handed, prices were reasonable as well. We both recommend this place!“

“Dave is a great tattoo artist. He has clear visions for his artwork but also wants the customers input. I picked one design for myself and then let him have free reign to do whatever he wanted. They both turned out amazing. I will be back

Requested style: I chose the dark side of the Moon album cover in a tribute for my dad that passed away. The other design was completely Dave's idea. Very colorful and detail oriented.

Specialities: Dave said his specialty was colors. So I let him put whatever you wanted in one of those spots.

Cleanliness: The studio is very clean, and there's so much artwork around to look at.

Stylist: Dave was great to work with. He knew how special the dark side of the Moon tattoo was to me. He finished it on the second anniversary of my Dad's passing. Also he was playing the album while doing the tattoo. Also while working with him we had great in-depth conversations about numerous topics. Kind of helps put your mind at ease.“

“There is a reason why Bluz Tattooz & Body Piercing has such high ratings. They’re absolutely AMAZING! I felt welcomed as soon as I walked through the door. Lori, my piecer, was extremely attentive and knew exactly what she was doing. The place was also very clean and the vibes were spot on. I will always recommend bluz tattooz ❤️“

“Austin is the best!! Always the most amazing experience with him and highly recommend to anyone interested in getting a tattoo! I have been coming to Austin for 2 years now and am constantly picking out new tattoos just to come back to the shop!“
