I highly recommend this place! I ended up coming here because my previous artist from a different tattoo company didn't show up... and what a blessing in disguise! I worked with matt pike. I wanted a rose tattoo and as a walk-in, and he was very sincere, and helped with placement and what I wanted. My tattoo turned out fabulous. I will be back for more. Read Less

Got my first tattoo here yesterday. Dylan couldn’t have been more friendly and knowledgeable and cool to work with. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get some work done.

Gareth is truly the best in GR. I went to him for my most important piece- the one out of all eight (now nine) I have that there was no room for anything short of perfection. He nailed it. I'm SO beyond grateful. I'd recommend him a million times over. I'll add the picture when it heals. πŸ’“πŸ’“πŸ’“ Read Less

This is the only place you will ever need to go to. Gareth may have a wait but trust me the price and wait are worth it. You won't be disappointed.

I've always had a great time here. Gareth has done two very large pieces for me and though his wait time is extensive, so is his knowledge, professionalism, candor, and talent. Four stars is because myself and friends have had tattoos by a different artist there and none of us had very good experiences with him. But, I always choose the artist, not the shop. One is not the measure of all. Read Less

I had just left Wealthy Street Tattoo after being treated very poorly and not taken seriously. I walked into Sovereign Arms Tattoo and was immediately greeted warmly and ended up getting an amazing tattoo by Matt Pike. He listened to what I wanted and was very informative. It turned out exactly how I wanted, if not better. Can't wait to go back and get another by him! Read Less

Sovereign Arms deserves more than 5 stars. Matt Pike did a cover-up on an old tattoo on my shoulder. He was very informative every step of the way. The shop was clean and well-maintained and unlike most tattoo "shops" the music was decent and at an admirable level - I could actually hear what Matt was saying to me. The piece Matt did was drawn straight up and I 100% trusted him the piece would turn out fantastic - and it did. He tried his best to make me comfortable and allow me time to breathe. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my next tattoo! These guys are incredibly talented and the best in GR. Read Less

Today I walked into this lovely shop with my two sisters to get matching moon tattoos to remind us of the magical weekend we had in Michigan. We only had a few hours for all of us to get some ink before I had to board a plane to head back home in the west. We had called other local shops where we were turned down immediately saying that it could not be done with such short time to sketch out our ideas and work. We then were so fortunate to be helped by Hunter and Matt at Sovereign who quickly started to sketch out our ideas and tattoo all three of us in an hour and a half. All of our moons turned out perfect along with the best service and kindness I have ever received in a tattoo parlor. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone and everyone who is looking to be treated right and efficiently. Makes me sad to go back to my home state! Thanks Sovereign Arms Tattoo Co.! Read Less
