I've been a customer of Diablo Ink for a long time. Aaron and Catherine are both amazing artists and I couldn't be happier with their work. I trust no one else. I love that they're honest enough to tell me when one of my ideas will not work but give me an option of what will work. I even have an award-winning piece on my side. Go in and talk to them. You won't be disappointed. Read Less

My husband has been getting tattooed by Aaron for at least ten years now. Every time he gets a new one, it's just as impeccable as the first one. When I saw his most recent tattoo, I decided I wanted one. Aaron recently did my tattoo. It is fan-freaking-tastic! So much color and detail! It's exactly how I pictured it. The tattoo I chose is feminine in every way, my husband's of course are not. I love my tattoo and am very happy with not only that but the service I received every time I visited the shop. Thank you Aaron for my fabulous piece of art😊 Read Less

Got my patriotic half sleeve finished by Aaron a couple of weeks ago, and I could not be happier. Aaron and Cat are both very talented artists. They are professional and fun people to sit around and talk to. If you are looking for a realistic or detailed tattoo, Diablo Ink is the way to go. Read Less

What a joke. I didn't come in for art, but even if I would of, it would of never got that far. Unhelpful arrogant peckkers would be putting it lightly. Not sure, but I think this place might breed this attitude in their artists. I met another artist from this place, removed to Washington, MO currently, and same attitude. I came in with my 4' 10" wife, and the guy proceeds to talk to me like he's a prodigy, and I'm a piece of dirt. If my wife hadn't been there I'd of been half tempted to smack the guy in the teeth, and let the chips fall where they must. I would of took an butt whooping if need be. Do yourself the favor, and try another artist before giving this guy any credit. I'm sorry, I'm not normally this mad about another ego driven artist thinking his poop don't stink, they truly are everywhere, this guy just crawled beneath my skin, especially with my wife right there.

Iv got several pieces done and couldnt be happier with them. Working on a sleeve right now and cant wait to finish it. Wish i would have found diablo sooner. I will go here for as long as i get tattooed. Read Less

In St Louis I believe this is 2 of the best artists around. Do not be fooled and think that just because the place is flashy big or has a featured artist on TV news, etc they are really good on your body. It takes serious skill to do tattoos, I went here to have one of mine fixed after falling for the above two things and getting a crappy tat and a crappy fix. Aaron is a NO NONSENSE business owner so if you are going to him to get a tattoo -DO NOT WASTE HIS OR KATS TIME. If you realize his time is not free and show up as scheduled you will have an amazing tattoo to show off for the rest of your life. Read Less

Diablo Ink is simply the best.I would never go anywhere else to get tattoos!The shop is super clean! I always appreciate the advice and creative input!If you're looking for a great tattoo shop, look no further! Read Less

I have hundreds of dollars of work from Aaron.He made ugly embarrassing crap tattoos that I got from uneducated unprofessional "scratchers" into Awesome artwork that I'm proud to show off! I will never go to another shop and plan to get a piece from Cat as soon as I can! 5 stars all the way! Read Less

After much research and visiting multiple tattoo shops in Jefferson County and the St. Louis area, (I was willing to travel for a good tattoo. I figured it was well worth my extra time to find the right place) a couple of friends told me to check out Diablo Ink and as luck would have it I certainly saved the best for last when it came to the right shop! I originally came in to get a cover-up. Cat took the time to talk to me about it where other shops turned up their noses and acted like I wasn't worth their time! Well, remember that scene in Pretty woman when Julia Roberts comes back to the clothing store...Shop assistant: Hello, can I help you?Vivian: I was in here yesterday, you wouldn't wait on me.Shop assistant: Oh.Vivian: You people work on commission, right?Shop assistant: Yeah.Vivian: Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now.Well, Diablo Ink has a forever customer in me and my family! Not only did Cat do an AMAZING cover up, she helped me with a memorial tattoo for my son who passed away. Her sketch made me cry and the tattoo is beautiful!! I get stopped constantly with people asking to see my tattoos and they want to know where I got them done!! Cat has hand drawn all of my tattoos they are all original works of art! I have a large piece that extends across my chest my shoulder and upper arm. We are currently working on a large piece that extends from the top of my foot to my knee. Can't wait to start the next project!! I have also witnessed the amazing work that Aaron does as well. They are both true artists!Diablo ink is a NO BS shop! Aaron and Cat will tell you the truth and they won't tattoo something that will look bad. They will help you to make the right decision and get what's going to look the best! Last but certainly not least, they are by far the cleanest shop I have ever set foot into! I highly recommend!! Read Less

I was lucky enough to receive my very first tattoo from the now owner of Diablo Ink, Aaron at the age of 18. I say lucky because let's face it, there are more scratchers in STL than great artists (huge difference between an artist and just anyone that can "do" tattoos by the way). I have always been not only highly pleased by the Work I've received but consistently blown away as my finished tattoos are far better than I would have imagined in my minds eye! Another point I'd like make is the professional realism, If want you want is not possible you will be told so and options given! No BS handed to you just to collect your cash. The shop has another amazing artist, Cat. I have not yet had the pleasure of receiving work from her but have watched her complete amazing art while in the shop and Her portfolio speaks for itself. The level of cleanliness and sanitation kept by the shop is of the absolute highest OSHA standard, this is evident as soon as you step through the door. Everyone at Diablo has always been very friendly to me and I have always felt very comfortable each time I've come by! Read Less

I have been to Aaron numerous time for my tattoos! He is an awesome artist! He has designed several tattoos for me and has also done a cover up for me! Love love loved it! My latest tattoo was done by Cat who is equally as awesome as Aaron. She too designed a foot tattoo! I totally love the work they do! Wouldn't go anywhere else!!! Read Less

I was a tattoo virgin and I was a walk in to Diablo Ink (Painstation back in 2005). I happened to get Cat. The quality and attention to detail was simply outstanding. I would recommend to anyone who wants an incredible tattoo. I have since moved to Chicago but I ONLY let Cat work on me and I drive back to Stl. to get any work done. These guys are simply the best out there. Read Less

Excellent work and really fair prices. I've gotten a full sleeve from Diablo Ink and I'm in the process of finishing my other full sleeve. 10 star service, quality, and overall experince. I would'nt go any where else and always recommend Diablo Ink Tattoos. Read Less
