Really wonderful people. My uncle Scott introduced me to Scotty and Pam and they are a great team and do amazing work. Incredible atmosphere, good conversation. 5 STARS!!! Will go back and recommend any and all! 👍🏻😊 Read Less

the staff here is perfect! they are the nicest most understanding people. i went into the shop as a 13 yr old getting my belly button pierced. Pam was so understanding and gentle and gave me the best experience i could have gotten. the shop was super clean. loved it here!! Read Less

Came all the way down from Michigan to visit family and got my 7th tattoo done here. Couldn't say nicer things about the people. Scotty was awesome to deal with. Not pushy at all. His wife was a sweet heart and the guest artist Laz who did my tattoo did an amazing job. The shop is super clean and the first thing Scotty said when I walked in is your family here. Been to alot of shops where artist are pushy and full of themselves. Scotty had great stories and made my experience a blast. I will definitely come back the next time I'm down for a visit.

The best place for quality work. They put their hearts into their work 100% & they are not like several others who charge you an arm and a leg for the work done. Great workmanship and very reasonably priced, I only go to Scotty now for my art and I live in Campbellsburg, KY over an hour a way from the opposite side of Lexington. Read Less

best tattoo shop around. everyone is very friendly. the artists are very talented. Scotty is as friendly and easy going as they come. have an idea for a tattoo but can't find what you want, well don't worry, they can custom design whatever you're looking for. I've been getting my work from Scott for over 20 years now. Pam is slick with a piercing needle if that's your thing. I've watched her do all sorts of piercings and have a happy customer every time. the shop is kept very clean. very inviting shop. It's cool to just stop in and talk but it's even cooler if you're getting tattooed. they do great work and won't break the bank. Read Less

Everything I read in the reviews is the reason I chose to go here. I agree with everyone. Awesome experience. Shops was very clean. Scotty treated me like I was a life long friend, and Rickey knocked my tattoo out of the park. I've found my new home for ink. Highly recommend to at least stop by and feel the atmosphere created by these awesome people. Read Less

So i did a thing. When you massage you cant wear rings. When youre prego and swell up, you cant wear rings. When you weigh way more than you used too, you cant wear your old rings. Tyler was accepting that i never wore my engagement or wedding ring. I have 3 pairs but none fit and spending money on more is silly. So i didnt wear mine, tyler would ask, id explain, hed accept but hed look so sad about it. Cant have my hubby sad cause of me. Yesterday we went to get a secret t...attoo and i didnt tell him what it was until we went through what i wanted. Now i have a wedding ring i can massage with and ill always wear. He was super happy with it. Until it fades..... the Artist showed me his finger tattoo, his partners tattoos, before and after pictures, went over what to expect with touch ups. It was very informed decision. I respect that. Im happy with the work. You will be to. 10 of 10, would recommend. See More Read Less

Yesterday being my birthday it was really hard to find a place to go that actually had openings until I called here saying only an hour wait and that's all it was! Everyone there were really great, also really helpful. And my piece looks awesome, and proper care reminders. Also willing to answer any of my questions! Read Less

Scotty and the crew always take care of us, and make us at home even when our kids are running wild. Top knotch work and service , thank you Scotty for always going above and beyond, we started out as good friends, but family now! Read Less

I love going to Your Design Or Mine. The atmosphere was so comfortable and everyone was extremely nice to me. I got my first tattoo here by Ricky and everyone who has seen it thinks it looks amazing it is exactly what i wanted it looks amazing and well detailed. I will definitely be going back to get my next tattoo.Read Less

I had a guy butcher the f**k outta both my forearms yeah I was young and dumb but one day I got wise a payed ol Scottie a visit an let me tell ya he amazed the hell outta me thanks again Scottie see you real soon Read Less

I was originally going to Tattoo Charlies since my husband has gotten 2 wonderful tattoos there. My mother in law was going to see Scotty and I went too. Scotty wasn't there but Conn talked me into getting the one I wanted with him. It looked awful. It was blotchy and kind of embarrassing. I went to Tattoo Charlies and got it fixed 2 days ago and wish I would have went there to begin with. I DO NOT recommend them! Now that I am a nurse (was not at the time when Conn did my tat) and they were not as sanitary as Charlies. I hope my review helps someone. Read Less

I had a great experience there, they were super friendly and even worked with my budget. The art was great, and I have had so many compliments on my new tattoo. I've been to quite a few of the shops in town, and this one is my new tattoo home. I highly recommend them. Read Less

i had went there for my first tattoo, i was nervous but when i went in there the owner politley greeted me and asked me if he could help me? we sat down together and he drew me up exactly what i was thinking about i was so excited! i had explained to him that i only had a certin amount of money i could spend and he was more then willing to work with me, from what i understand they have been in buisness for over 25 years wow.. i think they have better customer service then any tattoo shop in lexington. I would recommend everyone scotty YOU ROCK Read Less

I had a great experience there, awesome work. I keep getting stopped by people wanting to know where I got my new tattoo, this is the place to go. I've read some of their reviews, and was shocked with what I saw. It sounds like they have some haters, but just go to their website, and it will speak for itself. I highly recommend them. Read Less

I had been recommended this shop and have a close relative get work here done years ago with great results so I went to them for my tattoo. They were very friendly but were a bit insensitive to the struggle I was going through that my tattoo was representative of so later that evening I sent them a polite email to let them know how happy I was with my tattoo but that their unintentional insensitivity had stung a bit. I got an email back telling me to "lighten up". I emailed again saying I was just trying to give them a heads up on how they could be a little more sensitive to their customers and received back an email telling me to find another shop for future work and "quit taking my problems out on others". Nice customer service. If this is how they react to polite constructive criticism I would hate to see their response to a truly irate customer. Read Less

I love this shop! I drive all the way from Central New York just to get work done by Conn. I got my nosed pierced there as well, and was very nervous. The woman that does the piercings calmed me down and it came out perfect! I will continue to drive to KY to see Conn! Wonderful free hand work, does exactly what you want, and he fixed 2 tattoos that I wasn't happy with I had done here in NY, I can't say enough! Very clean shop, appt was on time, and everyone is very nice! I stop in there to say hi even if I'm not getting work done. See you next month guys for more work! Read Less

these people SUCK theyre wayyy over priced, the chick that does piercings looks f_cked up all the time, you tell scotty to do one thing and he goes totally different; you shouldnt do that unless the customer ask in my oppinion. ive seen him do HORRIBLE work. there are sooooo many better tattoo artist in lexington and its dirty. Read Less

they for real had a 15 yr old doing tattoo work! they are really dirty, messed up my calf sooo bad. everyone is like wtf and can;t really find any good cover up tats unless i get a whole sleeve on my leg. they won't do free touch ups either they say $25 just to pay for the needle... seeing as needles are about $1 including tubing and a pair of gloves. they are crooks. stay away. there is a reason they haven't relocated to a better/more accessible area. and piercings are bad bad bad. just go somewhere else. not this place or sullen ink. any where else is cool Read Less

I got a great tattoo done by C*nn. Great price and great people. Like I said in the cons area the tattoo chair I layed in wasn't very comfortable for the tattoo I was getting on my calf but I took a couple breaks and it was fine. Its one of my new favorite tattoos. Thanks to everyone there! @ralestothewall: Almost sounds like those as*holes at castle of color paid you to say this. I've had nothing but problems over there. Read Less

got a tat by c*nn it sucked bad. must have been drunk. place was filthy i should have ran. had to go get antibiotics. owner tried to fix FOR A FEE! it was worse, and had to go to doctor again, and i am a clean person. then c*nns wife showed up raising hell and fighting like a moron. STAY AWAY! FINALLY WENT TO A CHICK NAMED SARAH at castle of colors and she covered it comepletely up, and made my nightmare go away. i am their client for life now Read Less
