Zack did my back tattoo and it is absolutely beautiful!! He even copied my grandmas signature and incorporated it into the tattoo. I had a great experience here, it was a very comfortable atmosphere. Definitely will be back and would recommend!!! Read Less

Beard Trim ReviewZach does great job on my beard trims and line-ups.  He asks what I want done and with care and attention shape up my difficult beard for a more than reasonable price.Zach and Kyle take their time and make sure to give clean and precise hair cuts and beard cuts, with straight razor line-up and neck shaves.  There is no rushing people through to cut as many cuts as they can, they maintain integrity to a job well done. They spend their time to do the job right, which may mean turning away customers the last hour of business.Unless you show up at least an hour before closing time, do not bring shocked if you are turned away if customers are waiting in the seats, and waiting an hour for your turn in the chair is not unusual if there is a queue, so get there more than an hour before closing and when you have some time.  But well worth it.  As far as I am aware, there is no reservations, just first-in/first-served.My only complaint is the hours, a working man may find it difficult to make it there.

Giving 2 stars because I can never get in! This place is walk-in only and I've tried multiple times to get in for a cut. Be ready to wait for hours to get in if it's that important to you to go to this barber specifically. Read Less

One of the best hair cuts my hubby ever got, and the guys are cool... but the place was disgusting. Hair piled up a foot deep all over the floor, every single trash can over flowing. Just sweep every couple hours guys, you can't run a business that way :( Read Less

Went here for the first time ever today, got there about 15 minutes before opening, and waited about 2 hours to get in the chair but well worth every minute I waited. I had recently with in the past 6 months started growing my beard out and was looking for a barber with experience at shaping and trimming beards. I was happy with everything,the job they did on my hair, my beard and the all around atmosphere of the place. I think I have found my new beard barber. I would highly recommend this place to everybody Read Less

These dudes all do killer work. I have pieces from all the artists in the shop and they've all came out great. The atmosphere is always lively and they all do an awesome job at making you feel comfortable. Highly recommend John Leathers for portraits and John Hill for traditional tattoos that will stand the test of time. Read Less

We started coming to consolidated a couple years ago, and haven't walked into another shop. The shop is exactly how it should be, very friendly atmosphere. Every time I'm in the artists and their friends are hanging out telling stories, usually I have to take a break because I'm laughing so hard. The artists are amazing, these guys do the highest quality work around, well worth the hour drive for us. I'll never go anywhere else for my work, nothing against anyone else, I just trust this group of artists. Read Less

Best of the best, far and away. This is the shop for a quality tattoo that doesn't cost a fortune. Clean and responsibly run, caring tattoo artists. These dudes are the best anywhere. If you like bright color or nu school or American classic tats, then these are your guys.Talented artists in their own right, this is a shop for original, classic and clean designs. No tracers here. They are not interested in tracing somebody else's design, they do their own artwork. Moderate rates for high quality work that looks like it came from a Vegas or LA shop. My first tattoo here still looks great and the healing time was minimal. Read Less

Consolidated is the most pimp, badass barber shop of them all. Zac is the king of the clippers and he has never done me wrong. Just a short trek into the basement of Consolidated Tattoo, you'll find a mans mans barber shop. Truly a perfect place to hang and talk amongst the rest of the crowd while waiting for a $10 haircut. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Read Less

Great place for a solid men's haircut and beard trim.  Both Zach and Kyle work quickly with an OCD level attention to detail, but because of the high demand, there is usually a 90 minute wait after a half hour of opening.  This has never really bothered me, as both gentleman are kind and chatty, as are most of the people waiting.  A morning spent at Consolidated Barber Shop is a good morning for me, I couldn't find a better place if I tried.

Great to see a man build a business on good character traits and an excellent service. I miss getting my haircut by this dude. Every time I'm back in Michigan I'm coming thru though. The man mastered that trade and honed his skills early in his career. His shop offers a great peek into one if the best sub cultures in Flint. If you are looking for a barber, look no further. Zac is your man. Read Less

Just a week ago today I got my first color ink here by their dude John Hill. And out of my six other tattoos, this place was absolutely the best tattoo experience I have had. - The artists are all super friendly. The shop has a very open-room atmosphere, the shop's friends were just standing there and hanging out with me and all the other dudes while they were giving tattoos. It was almost like a sitcom. I have never laughed so hard and enjoyed myself so much in a shop.- I got a basically three inch by five inch color piece that only cost $100. If any of you know anything about the gouging prices of tattoo shops, you know that that is just about the best price you will ever find. Ever. I can not say enough good things about this place. Honestly just phenomenal. I absolutely plan on coming back and I encourage everyone in the Flint area to give these dudes a chance.Negative:- If you are looking for only place on the internet to find their work, you will never find it. I encourage the shop to update their Facebook page ASAP to let everyone see all the amazing work they do. People often find tattoo shops via Facebook and Google these days and if they can't find any updated pictures and pictures in general they may write your shop off--WHICH THEY SHOULDN'T DO--because you guys are amazing.

Consolidated is everything a tattoo shop should be. They have a collection of talented artists who range in varying skills, however they are particularly good at original and traditional tattoos. If you want a high quality tattoo done in Flint, this is where you go.In addition, the staff is clearly knowledgeable and safe when it comes to cleanliness and sterility of the shop. Read Less

This is my go-to spot for tattoos when I'm in Michigan, Jay Dowd is an incredible artist and I wish I could ship him out to Philly whenever I want work done. He is consistently good, he doesn't take a million breaks and works fast and efficiently. I always refer people to this place when they ask me where to get work done, it's worth the drive if you don't live in the Flint area. Read Less

I have gotten three tattoos from Consolidated Ink and Steel. My first tattoo that I got 6 years ago had faded and they reinked it for free. Now that is service. Not too many businesses will do that for anyone. I have been well satisfied with my tattoos and will get more from them. Read Less

I have been a fan of Consolidated for about 6 years now. Most of the piercings I got there only cost $20, jewelry included (with a few exceptions such as my industrial). The piercer, Steve Filpansick, is absolutely great and makes a lot of his own jewelry. I have also had 4 tattoos done by Chris Hornus of Consolidated and they are all beautiful. VERY decently priced, too. I highly recommend Consolidated Ink & Steel for all of your body art needs if you are in the Flint metro area. Read Less
