I have been in a lot of Tattoo Parlors from from Japan to the west coast to Down south and thru the Midwest... I have to say Tribute Tattoo ranks up with the best... Clean well laid out shop... Mathew as unbelievable talent... true Artist Read Less

Recently did a tribute tattoo for my father with Mathew Hockaday and again I’m extremely happy with results. Detail is amazing, color is vibrant & he aims to please in every aspect of my tattoo. Highly recommend Tribute Tattoo Read Less

Josh did an awesome job on my tattoo. I gave him an idea of what I wanted and he put his creative touch on it. Turned out amazing and the detail/shading gets me compliments all the time. Great place I will definitely be back for more! Read Less

Josh did my first tattoo and I am in love with it! Beautiful line work, he was very polite, as was the rest of the staff. I came from Sterling Heights and it was worth the hour long drive. I will definitely come back in the future. Thanks, guys! ☺️ Read Less

This is definitely my favorite place to get tattooed at. I live in St Clair Shores and drive all the way out here to get tattooed by kadee! Not to mention, all of the other tattoo artists at this parlor are extremely talented and very friendly. Read Less

I highly recommend this establishment to all tattoo seekers that want their ink done right. Kadee is a talented artist who also possesses a tremendous amount of professionalism and understanding. She is a good listener who takes time to find out exactly what her clients want and also comforts those who may need it, not saying that was me or anything but you get the point. ;) Read Less

Justin Tyler is super talented, he did my tattoo and i couldn't me more happy with it. You get what you pay for and i can promise you will be very satisfied when you leave this place. Good people, good vibes. Everyone does awesome work here, i know this because i stalked everyone's art work Read Less

I am NOT good with needles or getting tattoos, I have gotten one before and almost fainted from an adrenaline drop.  Brando was awesome and completely understanding. He was very gentle and I barely felt any pain, and what I did feel was completely manageable as opposed to my first tattoo. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He does great work and everybody that works there is very helpful and the prices are the best. Read Less

Justin does a great job! He was a recommendation from a friend in California who is originally from Michigan. She has beautiful tattoos that stay looking beautiful and I knew her recommendation would be top notch. This spot was clean and professional and very friendly. They took their time on my tattoo and I was very impressed with the final product! I will be back when I'm visiting town again! Read Less

Great job done!  Called a friend from Michigan who also lives in Cali with me and has beautiful tattoos and asked for her recommendation for an artist while I was home visiting.  She suggested Justin here at this location.  I made my appointment and he took his time with my idea.  He made exactly what I had envisioned and also made future plans for additional add ons to my idea when the time was right to expand.  I really had a great experience and was surprised at his reasonable rate for what I got.  I will be back and using Justin as my tattoo guy on this particular piece for hopefully the next year or two to come and who knows what other tattoos we can come up with in the mean time!  So excited to have an artist I can trust.  Very clean, very professional and would highly recommend his work!

This was my first time at Tribute and it will not be the last.  The place is very clean and organized.  My husband had Kyle and my friend and I had Josh.  This place was recommended by a friend and they did not disappoint. I am in the process of designing another piece and Josh will be helping me.  There is absolutely no unfriendly arrogance that I've found at other parlors. Everybody was super friendly.  I can't wait to get my next one:) Read Less

Matt Hockaday came with a strong reference from a friend and he did not disappoint me.  The shop is clean, bright and comfortable.   Matt is a straight pro and I would suggest that anyone who wants a unique piece of art on their body, should reach out and speak with Matt. Read Less

Never heard of Tribute Tattoo Parlor, but so happy I stumbled across them!  I absolutely adore bats and wanted to get some new bat ink - Sugar Skull Bat or Fruit Bat - the jury was out on which I would rather have because I knew I'd love them both equally.  The artist I generally go to never emailed me back, so I found Josh Barg on the list of people he follows on Instagram.  There were other artists as well who do great work, but not really the style I go for in tattoos.  I'm not into portraits or black & gray.  I prefer colorful tattoos that are either Traditional or Cartoon style.I emailed Josh about what I wanted and heard back from him pretty quick.  Couldn't have been more than 1-2 days.  I drove up to the shop, we discussed the design, made the appointment (5 days from then), and I left him a deposit.  I received an email from him yesterday (Saturday) asking what I thought about a bat head with sugar skull designs, but I really couldn't picture it.  I wasn't sure it would still look like a bat without the wings.  Well I went in there today (Sunday) and when he showed me the sketch I immediately knew it was a little Vampire Bat!  I fell in love with it!  He also drew up a little Fruit Bat in flight, but for the placement, I knew the Sugar Skull Vampire Bat was the one.  The tattoo took about 2 hours.  It was mesmerizing watching him create this awesome little dude on my arm.  His lines are clean and thick, which I love!  It's seriously flawless!  He really did a great job on the color too.  I told him the colors I wanted, but he chose the placement for them.  From the spider web to it's little piggy vampire nose.  I love every detail of this masterpiece - big and small.  I'm so happy with it I pretty much haven't taken my eyes off of it.  Josh is definitely an artist I'll keep in my life and continue to go back to - so much talent!  If you like Traditional tattoos, do yourself a favor and check him out!  You won't be disappointed.
