“It's my favorite tattoo spot in the world! Everyone here is a professional and an amazing artist!! No matter who you get work done by, you can't go wrong. I've been tattooed by at least 3 of the artists here. And the "get what you get" and slot machines are so much fun. Did I mention I travel here to STL from Colorado once a month for work because they are so good???“

“I went to Self Inflicted for a piece that had been on my mind for a long time. I’d seen the standard of work online and asked Adriana if she could book me in, which she did, at a time that suited us both. When I arrived Adriana had already sketched my idea, adding the influence of her experience, to create a design that exceeded my imagination.I’ve got two other large tattoos already, but this one was the least painful so far. The work was done quickly but unhurried, and the way I was treated in the studio was professional yet with remarkable warmth and dignity.Self Inflicted Tattoos sets the standard for how it should be done. The staff there are really cool, the artwork is outstanding and Adriana was brilliant, from initial contact to the handshake at the end.If you’re looking for some ink, look no further.Services: Tattoo aftercare“

“5 Stars for Alchemy Tattoo Collective and Natalie! (@natzaps)I got my first tattoo in 14 years at Alchemy yesterday (first session - will update and add pics once work is complete!) I was really nervous but everyone was so friendly and their new location is gorgeous and cozy. Natalie took time reviewing the design with me; resizing, playing with the placement, and just making sure it was perfect. During the tattoo, she made sure I was comfortable and we chatted and laughed the entire three hours. It was an excellent experience and I can't wait to go back.Service: Tattoos“

“I would highly recommend this parlor! Ryan Henery did my first tattoo ever and it was a great experience. I really liked the traditional Japanese style snake he drew for me and he explained how it would look different on the curve of my arm as opposed to flat on paper. The snake outline took about 4 hours to tattoo and it was mostly uncomfortable, rarely painful. He was efficient, gentle, and we were chatting so much that before I knew it the sun had set and it was all done. I’m excited to come back for coloring the snake in gray.Ryan also tattooed some dark brown ink into a mole on my face that has lightened as I have aged. That was practically painless.“

“Just wanted to give Pat a shout out for my simple piece he did yesterday. I never told him what it was for and how much it means to me. My husband passed away in September and during his chemo treatments, whenever he was in pain and I told him I was sorry he was hurting, he would always say "it'll pass". So this is to honor him and for me to remember my pain of missing him will pass as well. Thank you thank you thank you“

“I went to get a VCH piercing Jan. 12. This is my 1st time going to Trx. Before hand I had looked at their website. I decided I wanted Rhonda or Casey to do my piercing. Also I chose Trx because it’s APP recognized. I went & the front staff was good Makenzie & another lady I didn’t get her name but she had long braids with glasses she has such a happy & helpful disposition I really liked her aura. My piercer was Casey since Rhonda was not there & Casey was such a wonderful piercer. She made my experience pleasant. She was patient & even help with picking my jewelry. I really recommend her. I even told people about her & if Rhonda is avail go to her. Even though I didn’t get service from Rhonda her bio on the website had me sold. Idk the other staff I seen especially the males but 1 tattoo artist he seem so cool & pleasant maybe his name is John or Dave but whatever im big on customer service & Trx seem pretty good with that.“

“I have a total of 6 tattoos and Craig has done all of them. My first tattoo Craig did over 20 years ago and it still looks fantastic. His goal is to give every client the highest quality tattoo possible and he succeeds in accomplishing this! Do your research on his years of experience and after doing so you will be confident to give him your business. He takes his work seriously and I find that comforting as should anyone looking to get permanent artwork put on their body. I have great respect for Craig and I am looking forward to having him do my next piece.“

“They have a really great atmosphere. They are really nice. I went there for a touch up for a tattoo they didn't do and I only spent 40 bucks. Either way, they are willing to work with you so I think it's a great deal. Either way I'm definitely going back there again. Also they only take cash. No cards. They do have an ATM in there, but I prefer you have cash ready in general if you don't want to pay a $3 fee“
