Fantastic service! Thomas and TJ were humorous, kind, and put up with our loudness. The tattoos turned out wonderful, and would not go anywhere else after that experience. 10/10 would recommend!

I'm from out of town and both Thomas and Josh gave me and my Fiancé the best service. Felt like I was right at home. Will visit them every time I come to K.C.

Thomas Hendrix is an AMAZING tattoo artist. I myself am a tattoo artist, so I am leaving this review with an objective, knowledgeable opinion. I shopped for months for a tattoo on my hand, more than anything, I wanted a custom piece. By custom, I mean somebody hand drew it, right in front of me. A lot of tattoo artists this day, are not legit. They will claim they are a custom artist and piece together something off of Google.. Thomas drew the tattoo up, right in front of me... and I was sold. I get compliments on that tattoo everyday, and by far, it is my favourite tattoo. It's nice to see, someone who truly knows what he is doing and the industry has these artists if you know where to look. Plus, Thomas draws and paints, everyday. This, to me creates an experienced artist. Almost everyday on facebook he's posting up some awesome art, at killer prices. I highly recommend getting a tattoo at this shop. See More Read Less

Joey did my tattoo and it was a horrible experience. I've gotten several tattoos before and never have I been gouged with the needle like I was here. I honestly can't believe that I paid for a fully scared tattoo. Do not go here, and I will not be coming back to get it finished Read Less
