I came in for a pre-designed conch shell tattoo by Joe and by god did he blow it out of the water, both literally and physically. He absolutely killed it with the shading and it is exactly what I wanted. I'm definitely coming back for another tatt by Joe. Great shop, great choice of music, friendly staff. Can't wait to be graced by Joe's needle again, I await patiently. 6/5 Read Less

The studio itself was very professional. However, our particular artist was the most unfriendly person. Joe never cracked a smile and was very unaccomodating. I was tattooing with my mom as gift and he was a downer. He sucked all the joy out of an experience I wanted to be a fun and memorable one with my mom on Mother’s Day. Also, I was charged $80 for a LETTER!!!!! One simple letter! Read Less

I met with CJ yesterday for my first sitting on a 3/4 botanical sleeve he is creating for me from some images I presented him with. I am completely and totally smitten with what he has come up with and can't wait to return in two weeks for my second session. A stellar shop, with awesome artists who have the ability to bring art to life. Read Less

I've been tattooed by Heather, Jon, Dawn and Chris, and a few of their guest artists as well. every experience was perfect. Hands down the most consistently good tattoo shop that I know of, and I've been to many. Highly recommend. Read Less

These guys are champions. Great artist and activist. Thank you for always providing a safe and comfortable tattoo environment for all. If you want a gorgeous clean floral tattoo ask for CJ! Couldn't recommend enough. Read Less

I really had to come on here and just say how awesome of an artist CJ is. He did a tattoo on my stomach and it hurt a lot so I wasn’t very easy to tattoo I’m sure. The tattoo still turned out phenomenal despite all my tensing up and over reacting. He really helped a painful experience become a truly great experience. Other than that the shop was awesome and clean, had a super relaxing vibe, and everyone there was really friendly and welcoming. Thanks so much CJ!! Read Less

Joe did my husband's Celtic cross tattooo and he did an amazing job. He worked with our ideas and added some of his own and it came out amazing. We both love it and will be coming back. The shop also has a great atmosphere and all people that work there are awesome, friendly, artistic, and great people to talk too. I recommend this place to anyone that wants a well made tattoo for a very reasonable price. Read Less

I can’t recommend this place enough. Everyone is so kind and professional there and the place itself has a relaxed, homey vibe. As I sat and waited for my appointment, it was great to watch the artists be so accommodating and welcoming to every person that walked in. CJ did both mine and my husband’s tattoos and we fully intend to continue to work with him. He has great attention to detail, a diverse knowledge of tattoo styles, and a kind personality. Both our tattoos turned out beautifully and we can’t wait to come back :) Read Less

The first time I visited I received great service and the pricing was reasonable my friend and I got tattoos and each tattoo was $60 each and both had a decent amount of shading. The last time I came in my friend and I wanted to add to our tattoos. Nothing big and it was a simple quote in black ink. It took about 30 minutes for both of us and my friend was charged WAY more than we should've been. May I note that no one quoted us a price before hand the second time we assumed it wasn't gonna be a crazy amount like it was. Probably won't be taking my business back there again after the last expensive. I've gone to other shops and received the same quality of work for a way cheaper price. Read Less

Jon Larson is amazing. If you like tattoos and have not seen Jon yet, you are completely missing out. His ability to grasp the visions you have floating around your mind, and translate them into a reality, is exceptional. In fact, he takes your idea, processes it through his magnificently magical brain, and creates something that's approximately 1,000,000,000 times cooler than what you imagined. Somehow he does this in a way that seems effortless for him. This is probably because he's a gifted human being and a gifted artist. He works swiftly, is neat, very gentle despite holding a tattoo gun, is so courteous, ridiculously smart, totally hilarious, super nice, and is a solid human being from top to bottom (figuratively & literally). The type of person that could have an enormous ego bc he's so crazy talented, yet he's down to earth and grounded. His style, use of color, depth and space, are just some of the traits that indicate he's an innovator within his field. And he's consistent! I have 10 from Jon (and more on the way) and they are all supremely amazing. ALL!! If you have tattoos, you know that the experience matters. He makes for a great experience 100% of the time. The whole shop does! From the front desk to the various artists working, everyone there rules. The talent here is truly phenomenal in every sense of the word, and you should really do yourself a favor by going in. You will be so so so stinking happy you did. Word of caution, you'll probably get addicted to Depot Town Tattoo : ) easiest shop to love. A zillion billion stars for Jon Larson & the Depot Town crew. Biggest tattoo gem in North America.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Depot Town Tattoo. I've gotten 10+ tattoos there, most by Bill. I lived in Ypsi for a few years when I started getting tattooed there, and now I drive an hour from Mount Clemens because I still love it, and Bill is the best! Very clean and professional. Read Less

This is my second tattoo at Depot Town & I'll come back here again and again. The place is low key and great, which helps my nerves. Everyone seems super friendly and very nice. I had CJ who did an amazing job, and my brother had Kyle who was awesome and helpful during his first tattoo. They do some great work and it's a great place. I'm sure I'll be back soon for another.Read Less

Want a god damned good tattoo from god damned good tattooers? Search no more you've found your new studio and friends for life.

Been getting tattooed by Jon Larson for years.  Dawn is awesome as well as everyone else that tattoos there.  If you don't live near Ypsilanti ( I don't but it's still worth the drive to get tattooed by him ) he also tattoos as harlequin tattoo in Hamtramck best tattooer in michigan Read Less

For my first tattoo I was a little nervous, but they made me feel right at home there. I mean throughout the process CJ was very patient with me and he nailed the final drawing. I will definitely come back here for the rest of my tattoos. Read Less

I had a very positive experience when I went with one of my friends to get a tattoo so when it was my turn I didn't even thing twice to go back to Depot Town. Never have I been so disappointed with customer service in my whole life. Every artist was very polite to me but the lady at the front desk was so rude. This was very hard to see because having someone that is rude to represent this business isn't going to get them very far. She kept saying so many rude things and they were strictly directed towards me because she was polite towards every other customer in the shop at that time. I didn't even end up getting the tattoo because she was so rude and I won't return because of her. Read Less

I came in as a walk in,  having a vague idea of what I wanted. Whitney had me send get my idea and she worked hard to make it unique and it turned or better than what I had shown her! She was patient with me and gently,  it was my first tattoo. It looks great and I'll probably be going back!  :) Just be aware they only take cash.  There is an ATM directly across the street,  but it had like a $3 fee. Read Less

Wonderful service by professional artists! I would recommend going there to anyone. Whitney did my work and she is fantastic at what she does. PLUS, she is just a great person to chat with. Check it out for yourself. Read Less

I had a wonderful experience at Depot Town Tattoo! Ben was my artist, and he was great to consult with while planning the tattoo, as well as during the tattoo time. I'm kind of nervous about needles (yet I still wanted a tattoo... probably not too uncommon), but we had a great conversation while he was tattooing me, and before I knew it, I had sat the whole hour and a half and had a gorgeous tattoo! Ben will definitely be doing my future tattoos. :)I also liked that when I came in, I saw him consulting with another artist about my tattoo, and during the tattoo, another artist's "canvas" came over and showed off his tattoo to us, and they came and checked out mine while it was being done. A super friendly environment, and it's obvious the artists are all great pals who trust each other's advice and opinions. Definitely a good sign, in my opinion! Read Less

Shout out to Alexis Colombo who did a awesome cover up on my feet! I have not one bad thing to say about my experience at Depot Town Tattoo. They have a team atmosphere and I loved the energy of the each of the artist in the shop. Its totally a place you would want to hang out while getting a 4 hr. tattoo.I will no longer go any where else for my tattoos! Alexis your stuck with me!! Read Less

Awesome tattoo shop!I just got a tattoo done by Jon Larson who does AMAZING work!Very clean and spacious shop, and everyone that was working there is very nice. I had to wait a little while because Jon was running behind, but two other artists asked if I needed/was already being helped. They have a big open area where they do tattoos, but also have private rooms in the back I noticed.Very reasonably priced too. Other places were trying to overcharge me for what I wanted. I feel a lot of places try to over charge you, but not here!Hoping to get another one in late summer/early fall.Can't wait to go back! Read Less

I had my first Depot town tattoo yesterday. I followed Mike and Dawn from Name Brand. They are unbelievably awesome, and the new parlor is really, really nice!! Not only do I love my tattoo, Mike is a great artist - I always get just what I want- but the atmosphere of the new shop is really friendly and comfortable. You NEED to get here!!!! I will definitely be back (again and again!) Read Less
