By far the best tattoo shop in the Midwest in my opinion. Taylor has done every single one of my tattoos for the last 12 years.. and wont ever let anyone else tattoo me and we're currently working on a full sleeve. Vibes are a 10/10, cleanliness is also a 10/10 & the employees are the best and make you feel welcome. Dalton the receptionist, is one of the most friendly guys I've ever met and makes appointments happen even on a time crunch! If you don't go here, you messed up lol.

Mine and my daughter's 1st visit & experience at Monster Ink and it exceeded any expectations I could of have. My 14 year old daughter got her 1st helix piercing with Marcus, and he was beyond Outstanding!! Aside from being so fun & personable, he was comforting & explained everything part of the piercing procedure to both of us. Even the other 2 people at the shop that were at the front counter upon checking in we're so much fun and personable as well. I can definitely see myself being a repeat customer!! Thank-you Marcus for your professionalism & humor.

I've been wanting to get my ears pierced again (doubles) for a long time and this place was perfect! Marcus was very nice and knowledgeable and the process was super smooth. Thanks!

I’ve known the crew at Monster Ink for some time and have followed them through their journey of starting the business. Both my wife and I have been customers, and we plan on having our daughter get her ears pierced when she is old enough. Great environment, feels like a true studio where all their artists’ work is on display on the walls and in cases. The owner, Taylor, is as professional as they get and is willing to help anybody at any level of body art and modification. Thank you again for the experience!

I would give this place way more stars if I could!
I worked with Marcus to get my conch done and to put in new jewelry for my other piercing.

Absolutely amazing person! He walked me through the entire process and made sure I was doing good! He was honest and very down to earth about everything and he was very knowledgeable!

Highly recommend!
