I was initially a bit nervous about getting my first tattoo, but the laid back and chill attitude of the shop and owner drove it all away. Avery sketched a perfect interpretation of what I wanted and nailed the tattoo itself. Very happy with the result. Healing's going great as well. Read Less

Googled a tattoo shop nearest to me at the moment. This place was it and it had five stars so went to look..... looking turned into getting lol. Wasn't sure exactly how I wanted it but the lady at the front desk was super helpful and totally said we could draw it out and put it on and see. So we did and boom! Got it. Lol. Avery did it. Was super nice, knowledgeable. Said I should get shading instead of outline (like I imagined in my head) and I kind of just trusted him to do him and holy moly it came out fire hawt . So pretty I love it so much . Also they have dope healing instructions on their website. Super easy and awesome. Also walk ins on the weekend!!! Read Less

This place is awesome!!! Friendly and professional staff. Can't say the same for some other shops in the area. These guys rock. Got exactly what I wanted and it's perfect! Will definitely be bringing these guys more business!Read Less

I got my first tattoo here yesterday from Avery and it was very well done and just how I designed it. I am very pleased. Even the healing process is going along smoothly. Sometimes you hear horror stories about poorly done tattoos or bad infections. Not at this place! Go see Avery!! Not only will he do an amazing job but is willing to answer any questions you have about the after care process long after you leave the store! Small tattoos can even come colored! I recomend the Electric Iron! Also if you are visiting before 6 pm Monday thru Thursday, go park at the Boost Mobile store. Read Less

Due to our regular artist not being available, my boyfriend & I walked-in on a Sunday (isn't all that common for a tattoo shop to be open on Sundays, so that was a bonus from the start). We'd been getting less & less happy with "our guy" who normally we would have to wait a couple months for an appt & have had to deal with his ever growing ego over the years. Met with Jake & told him what we were looking to get. He is one of the most laid-back tattoo artists we've ever met. Super cool guy who does great work at more than reasonable prices! My bf was describing a cover-up he wants done & Jake was pretty stoked about the art aspect of the piece being described, not just the money one could make off of it. After seeing his genuine excitement about just the idea, my bf & I decided we would be going back to Jake for our next tattoos. Clean shop & the other employees there all seemed pretty down to earth. Would recommend Electric Iron & Jake to anyone! Read Less

Me and my boyfriend got our first tattoos together last night. Very clean and sanitary and Clint did a great job on both of our tattoos! We were walk-ins, our little tattoos didn't take long but they were perf. Read Less

This place is in a really sketchy area and looks like a shithole at first glance but it's actually really nice!! Avery and Clint were very friendly! And they both did such an amazing job! Me and 3 other friends all got walk in tattoos here and it was a great experience. Out of all the places in KCMO, Electric Iron and Irizumi are my favorite by far. Don't let the sketchiness of the outside scare you :) Read Less

I've been getting tattooed by Jake For years. Down to earth guy that is very humble and has a knack for taking spoken word ideas and creating wonderful artwork. The shop is small but I like the intimacy. Not a ton of people in and out all day so it isn't over crowded with folks looking over his shoulder. If you want solid artwork done by someone with a true passion for art and tattooing Jake is your guy for sure. His American traditional work is definitely some of the best around, if it wasn't I sure as hell wouldn't have let him ink up my whole chest! Read Less
