Cesar did an amazing tattoo on my arm. His work is really great, very talented. I love the piece he did for me and the one he did for my husband. I would recommend this shop, the environment was really relaxing and welcoming too, friendly staff. Read Less

I went for the Friday the 13th special. We waited to get pierced for 3 hours.. the lady at the front desk refused to give anyone a time estimate of when they’d go. I understand it was insanely busy, but I feel like they should of been more prepared. However, once we finally got back to be pierced it was great! Dan was very funny and wanted to interact with us. I was terrified, but he was very fast and distracted me while he pierced me. Overall we had a great time, and the wait was worth it Read Less

Firstly I want to say I don't know anything about the talent or professionalism of the artists or piercers. My frustration is on the business side of operations. I went in for my first visit ever because I heard about the Friday the 13th piercing special. My friend and I were told an hour wait. After two hours only 7 people had been called back. We also noticed several of the same staff members had 4-6 smoke breaks during this short time. My friend and I decided it was no longer worth it to wait around. I had to go up and tell the lady we were leaving and we were still 6 or 7 people down the list. I had thought there would have been a better plan or system in place to expedite the process. I'm unsure if I'll ever be back. Read Less

The piercer here is excellent! This is the second major piercing I have got from him. He listens to your particular requests and the charge is affordable! Has lots of jewelry to choose from, girly too! Don't forget to tip 20% because he puts you at ease and his piercing placement is on point! He comes Highly Recommended! :) Read Less

I have received a tattoo from Dan and I have taken my daughter and niece for piercings. Never have I had an issue. Dan and I talked about my tattoo for a while, which put me at ease, and he was honest about which placement would have the best long-term outcome. Dan put my daughter and niece at ease (they were very nervous) and they both had a very positive experience. Every time I go, I'm greeted professionally and quickly, which I find is indicative of their overall pro-customer business. Will be back! Read Less

My family just had tattoos done here by Paul. He did great, got through all 5 of us and did excellent work on all of us. This was my wife's first tattoo and he was awesome with her. I would highly recommend this shop and this artist. Read Less

Last year I got my daith pierced by Dan and left very happy. He explained everything to me and I left happy. Due to some health issues I was hospitalized for a long time. I had to take out my piercing and hello migraines again. I went in yesterday to get it done again and Dan was amazing as usual! Very grateful for how he treats his customers! I will go nowhere else but to Dan now! Read Less

I've had about a dozen tattoos and piercings done by Dan and recommend Idle Hands to everyone! Pros:*Receptionist was prompt and really friendly. *The shop was very clean and even decorated tastefully. (I've been in a few other shops that I literally walked right back out of them because of the unsanitary conditions or disgusting decor.)*Dan was friendly, efficient, and professional. He explained everything about aftercare and even checked on me a few times during the piercing/tattoo.*Prices were very reasonable Cons:The only thing I would say as a con is that parking was a little difficult but I found a small parking lot practically right behind the shop with plenty of parking. Read Less

Had a wonderful experience from walking in to get a consult to the tattoo itself. Steve gave me my options for my cover up and totally delivered. Very impressed. Cassie is super friendly and helpful! Dan runs a great shop, will definitely be back & recommend to anyone needing work. Read Less

It was good and I thought everything was fine, but here I am a year later and my tattoo has scarring in it. It's like the ink didn't go in the middle of the lines, the guy who did mine went too deep. I can't get that covered up. Read Less

I can't remember for the life of me what the name of my tattoo artist was, but I had come in to get my very first tattoo and was pretty excited about it. When I entered, there was no other people so I didn't have to wait. Told the guy what I wanted and where, so on and so forth. I was pretty nervous throughout the whole experience just because I had never gotten a tattoo before, so I never looked at the tattoo until he was finished. It didn't look too terrible when I had first seen it, but during the healing process I could tell the lines were messed up. To be honest, I hate my tattoo now. I can't stand to look at it, and I hate showing it to people who ask about it. What blows my mind even more, is that I paid $70 for this. $70 for a tattoo I hate. Not sure If I'll ever revisit.

Everyone is extremely nice just amazing people. I always enjoy coning to Idle Hands. I've only got 3 piercings from Dan. But absolutely enjoy coming in. I will be in Friday to get a new piercing. I'm bringing a friend to get one as well. Can't wait to see you all. Next I will be getting tattoos. Read Less

Todd has done most of my tattoos and during all of them he has made me feel extremely comfortable. Had a piece done on my back that took about 4 hours and repeatedly he asked to make sure I was doing okay or if I needed a break. They're all very welcoming and nice--if you're nice to them back. Would not go anywhere else for a tattoo, and will go back for more ink in the near future. All the guys are extremely easy to get along with and the place is clean. I Recommend to everyone I know that's looking for ink. Read Less

All I wanted was a daith piercing (chronic migraines), waited what felt like forever to be greeted. Never really had anyone tell me what was going on or maybe a timeline in being seen. They were very busy so I can understand the wait, it just would have been nice to have anyone interact with me. After waiting over an hour (with blinding migraine), I left. The place was very clean, I'll give them that. Read Less

Loved my experience with Sloan! I had a very meaningful tattoo done on my side and he rocked it out! When i had seen the finished piece i almost got teary eyed from how perfect it was to me. Would recommend going to him and will go back for my next. Read Less

I took my daughter to Dan for her first tattoo a few weeks back for her 18th bday. 1. The tattoo turned out excellent. 2. Dan was awesome, not only with his work, but on a personal level. 3. He took the time to explain everything in detail to my daughter. 4. Not only did he check on how she was doing several times throughout the process, he also did everything he could to keep my daughter laughing and talking to help distract her from any pain she was feeling. ⋯⋯ 5. I highly recommend this tattoo shop to anyone. 查看更多 Read Less

I have come to Idle Hands for all of my tattoos and piercings and have always been more than satisfied. Dan has done all three of my tattoos, pierced my belly button, my tragus and my nose. Each time he has remembered me and been so nice and funny. Honestly, would never go anywhere else. Would recommend it to anyone. Read Less

Jimmy Kelley gave me the best tattooing experience I genuinely believe I will ever have. He was kind, professional, genuine, and took a lot of care to make my piece exactly how I want it. 6 months+ later and the color work looks as beautiful as the day he did it. Idle Hands is my Wichita tattoo parlor because of the fabulous, professional artists like Jimmy. Can't wait to come back in a few months for round 2! Read Less

This reviews one star rating is because of the response of the owner to one of his employees inexcusable actions at a bar.The employee punched a bartender in the face because SHE wouldn't play a song he wanted. He put his hands on a woman and the owner said he needed "time to process" what happened before he decided what you do with the employee.  I am all for our personal lives not being tied to our work, but hitting a woman in a place where you have advertised where you work seems a bit self inflicted. I would never get a tattoo from him or anyone who knowingly empoyeed him Read Less

First time getting a tattoo. My artist was Steve. He was nice as could be and did a phenomenal job on my tattoo. He helped me find exactly what I wanted from size to color. He was great to chat with and made me feel very comfortable. It was a great experience and I highly recommend you go here to get any tattoos done. Read Less

I went in with my granddaughter to get matching bellybutton piercings. We went on a Saturday right after they had opened. Thought we would have to have an appointment but we got right in with just a short wait. I was a bit nervous because I had never been in a tattoo/piercing establishment. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and the shop was very clean. Kudos to Dan. He did a fantastic job. I recommend them highly and would  go back for other work. Read Less

I can't express enough how happy I am with the tattoo I  received from Dan. He was professional and funny and made me laugh through the pain. If you want a great tattoo this is the place to go. I honestly can't praise them enough!!! Read Less

Everybody at Idle Hands was very friendly, and strive for customer satisfaction! Great atmosphere, and excellent music! Last but not least, my wife and I got "SUPERB" tattoos! I look forward to going back to Idle Hands for my next tattoo. Thanks Dan! Read Less

Myself and 3 of my friends went here for piercings. We all 3 got the triple forward helix piercing, done by the owner of the shop. He seemed not happy about having to do the piercings as it is apparently a difficult piercing to do, but did not say that he was not adept or comfortable doing this piecing. The piercings were painful and seemed to be a lot of work, but we thought that this was just normal for this particular piercing. We paid $100 each, and this was for their upgraded "premium jewelry". Our ears all look very red and swollen, but as this is normal for most piercings, we assumed they would look good after the swelling went down.Flash forward to today, approximately 1 month after receiving these piercings. We are back home in Oklahoma City, and the middle earring of my friend's triple forward helix has receded back into her cartilage. The front stud of the earring is not visible, as it is embedded in the middle of the cartilage. It is very red, swollen, and painful. We decide to go to a very reputable piercing shop in OKC to have it looked at to see if they can adjust the earring and fix the issue. The piercer at this shop takes one look at my friend's ear and is stunned at how horrible of a piercing job it was. He said there was absolutely nothing done right with the piercing and that all of the rings needed to come out of her ear immediately. He looked at mine (which had been healing fine) and said mine is also a hack job, and all of mine need to be removed as well. He said the piercings are all facing different directions, not done straight through, and would never heal properly. He also said that you should never be able to see the backs of the earrings with a triple forward helix. You could see the backs of all 3 of our piercings. Also, the "premium jewelry", he said can be purchased online for somewhere in the range of 5 cents a stud. He had to physically cut one of my friends piercings, as he said that whoever put it in had stripped the screw portion of the earring. I also had mine removed, even though I wasn't having issues, because I do not want mine to heal in the manner that they were pierced. I should mention that the shop who removed them did not benefit even remotely by our business. We did not pay to have the piercings removed, and they did not try and sell us additional piercings or jewelry. He had no intentions other than to salvage our ears. We are extremely infuriated that we were duped into letting someone who is not proficient in this specific piercing perform it on us. I would be very very weary of having any piercings done at this shop. Read Less

Went there for a piercing. They treated me super nice and the owner who did my piercing was funny and calmed my nerves. My piercing wasn't healing good and I went back to them, they gave me some soap and all better. If I feel the urge to do something else, I would gladly go there again. Read Less

I went to Idle Hands for the first time about a year ago, and i've been there many times since then. The staff is friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is great, and their work is exceptional and priced right. Read Less

Bobbi (?) did a great tattoo on my husband that wasn't the problem. The receptionist was the one telling the artist what the people wanted. Bobbi then drew it and was starting to place the design only to find out that the receptionist didn't  tell her that my husband wanted lettering to. Why didn't this artist actually talk to my husband before the mock up? Also I was there to get a tattoo myself but was ignored. I was spoken to once by the receptionist and she made the decisions it seemed. We will never be back as the service was terrible.We were there for over an hour with a tattoo artist not working on a client. The receptionist acted as if Bobbi was the only tattoo artist in the place. Oh and I don't enjoy a tattoo shop filled with teenagers who the receptionist was more than happy to explain in detail how to get notarized notices from parents. One girl was gone less than ten minutes before she had her magically notarized paper. Read Less

I have been tattooed be several artist, no "big" complaints about any of them... Idle hands brought my artist (Kham Smith) in as an apprentice around a year ago. I know the owners fairly well and would say they are good guys! Dan (1 of the owners) is a great artist, he personally hasn't done a tat on me but I have seen lots of his work and feel comfortable saying he possesses great skill. Wayne (1 of the owners) is very business savvy and is well known in the bike community! This is a new location in old town, very clean and sanitary :) Kham (my artist) is one of 3 I think & is fantastic!! Great artist that has both the skills and desire it takes to truly build their business! I have sent several friends his way and have gotten great feedback from them!!! If you're looking for ink in a clean, professional, laid back environment; this is your place! From cover ups, to large pieces, to portraits go check out the shop and book an appointment with Kham!!

I got my first tattoo in may from dan at bullwinkles tattoo (the owner) and i absolutely love it! he does amazing work, and i would never in my life let another artist even come near me! they are very professional, AND VERY CLEAN. i would not suggest to go anywhere else in wichita, this guy has been around for a very long time, and his art work definitely will back that up! there is also a website for this parlor, and it is www.bullwinklestattoo.com he has picture up on the site and everything! definitely check it out!

I have let James, one of the two tattoo guys there do two of my tats. He did an OK job, but nothing compared to my other tats gotten else where. My father & I decided to let the other guy (Dan) do our next tattoos. We really like the guys work. We made an appointment to get his done for Saturday. We went in & waited almost 3 hours for this guy to tell us that he would not be able to do the tat today.. he did not have it drawn up yet. He also decided that after taking a second look at everything the tattoo was going to cost $200 more than he, himself had quoted us! To top the day off his breath smelled of beer. We may just chalk our $50 deposit each up as a lesson well learned & take our business else where! Read Less

Telephone contact - not exactly friendly. Called twice to confirm when they were going to have a piercer there. Took an afternoon off to be there. Got there... no piercer and a very rude woman who was clearly inconvenienced by my even walking in. They may be wonderful for tattoos, but go elsewhere for piercings! Read Less
