Got a lower leg sleeve done by John. I told him my idea and he added some of his ideas. He was super easy to talk to throughout the whole process and made me feel like I was a part of their family. The vibe in the parlor was very relaxed which helped me just sit back and let him do his thing. It turned out amazing and I couldn't be happier. This is an idea I've had for the past 8 years. I've checked out many artists in the area over that time. John is second to none in many aspects! Thanks for everything! I will be back! Wolftickets. Read Less

Came from 3 hours away to my tattoo.Tyler did my tattoo on my left wrist super happy. Line work is fantastic and shading super saturated. Next time Im here going to bring my husband and have him do more work for us. Will always come back for more. Read Less

In town for work and had some time to kill. Looking for a place I could get some inkwork done on short notice and found this awesome friendly establishment that was able to make it happen. Tyler did a spot on job of matching up with some existing lettering on a very special piece I had and was able to blend it in rather nicely so thankyou for making the experience a great one. See you again the next time I'm in town.Read Less

Great place to get your 1st or 20th tattoo, very relaxing great staff. Tyler was great, he went above and beyond to accommodate our large group. Amelia is wonderful to work with, prices are very reasonable. I would reccommend A&J ink works to everyone that wants a great enviroment with very a professional staff. Read Less

AMAZING!!! I truly cannot describe in just a few words how wonderful my experience was. I am in town for work and drove by the shop on my way exploring. The window is what called to me to stop by. I sat in the parking lot for a bit because you don't just walk in to anywhere to get permanent ink without a recommendation or comfort. As I sat there I decided to look up the reviews. So many positive experiences and feelings were written, in I went based off of the reviews. Right from the first greeting from Amelia I knew I was in a GREAT place. We spoke about what I was hoping to get thinking there was no way I would be able to because places that have so many happy customers just don't have openings and it was late. To my benefit John had a cancellation right before I stopped by. I was meant to be here!! We all talked to make sure I was getting what I wanted right down to the tiniest of detail. If you're looking for a beautiful piece of art than please stop in here, even if all you do is meet the artists and hear how proud of their journey they are. Make sure to enjoy the wall art and atmosphere of a family feel that Amelia and John provide. Thank you Amelia for understanding my anxieties and knowing exactly how I was feeling. It was nice to meet Tyler too he finished his work and stopped over to say hi!! I WILL BE BACK EVEN IF JUST TO SAY HI!! Although when my family seen the work they are already asking when they can come to get the same piece for our lil man who's taught us so much about AUTISM and that it's simply put "perfectly imperfect"!!!!!

Awesome place...John has been doing my husband and mine tattoos for all most 20 years, the first one was at his shop in Edwardsburg, Mi and we continue to go back to him every time we need something done. The shop is a great place and all the artists are fantastic so you wouldn't go wrong with any of them. Amelia is always ready to help in any way she can Read Less
