Josh did an amazing job with me today. 10/10 would return and recommend I was a walk in and it worked out great. If you plan on doing walk in call first so you don't waste your time and bring what you want printed It makes everything easier haha Read Less

Love this place.  Joey is an awesome artist.  He has done all of my daughter's tattoos.  He had a vision for her sleeve and designed it beautifully.  Everyone is friendly.  You may have to wait to get your tattoo but it is worth it.  I will be making the drive soon to get my tattoo. It is nice to see such a down to earth place.  Located downtown. Read Less

Just got my first tattoo ever! I drove 3 hours to get my tattoo done here rather than one of my local shops. Why? Because all of the best tats I've seen in person came from this shop. Joey did the tattoo, and he is an amazing artist that took care of me very well. All of the art coming out of this shop is on another level. I'd definitely make the 3 hour trip again if I ever decide I want another tattoo. Read Less

I got my first tattoo here by the apprentice and had an amazing experience here! He worked with what I wanted and where I had wanted my tattoo and when it was all said and done, I fell in love with it! Read Less

Matt worked with my daughter and I to make sure our tattoos were what we wanted and where we wanted. As I was getting a water colored pawprint of my Princess, it was important that I got to pick the colors that were used. Matt offered suggestions that went together and the finished products made my daughter and I VERY happy. Would definitely recommend the whole crew! Read Less

It was my first time at Hearts of Fire and Josh did my tattoo. The whole experience was great! He made sure I was able to get exactly what I wanted. I've had other tattoos done where the artist was rough but Josh did a good job. I definitely recommend Josh and the whole Hearts of Fire crew to anyone wanting to get a tattoo. Read Less

My brother and I were looking to get matching tattoos and we went in as walk ins and the guys worked with us quickly to make sure we could get them done. Matt did an amazing job on our tattoos and moved his schedule around to fit us both in. I would highly recommend this shop. Great first impression! Read Less

Sarah did my first tattoo here 3 years ago. Granted, she is no longer here but this is still a very cool place. The atmosphere is great, the location is great, the people are friendly and it's very clean ! Read Less

Talented, professional and good hearted people. Exactly the kind you want to etch a permanent marker on your skin. Both Joey and Tyler did an awesome job whenever I got in there. There is no better place in Springfield, let alone the whole SW Missouri. Read Less

Really good bunch of guys. Jake did my tat. Told him what I wanted and he came up with a design exactly what I was looking for. Left it all to him to decide colors. This guy has great artistic insight, and talent. Very reasonable rates also. Read Less

Went with my daughter to get matching mother/daughter tattoo. She recommended Tyler and and he did an awesome job. Very nice and down to earth. Welcomed my suggestions and went with it. I didn't feel like "just a number". I had a very nice experience and will be back. Definitely reccomend this place! Read Less

Getting a half sleeve from Joey. I sat in and got a 6 hr session. Have to go back for another 2 hours or so. Joey is top notch and I wouldn't go to anyone else. He made the experience the best possible with comfort, communication, and most importantly quality!!. I highly recommend him. Read Less

Jake was awesome. His artwork is amazing and the people there could not have been nicer! These guys are true professional artists who take their craft seriously. I am working with Jake on my sleeve. And described what I would like to have done. He came up with an amazing original design that is, in a word, badass! He has a light touch but clean lines and knows how to get just the right color pallet for your ink. I highly recommend Hearts of Fire for your next tattoo! Read Less

Best shop/artists in town. I have been to most every artist they have had since moving to McDaniel St. and I have always had a good experience with customer service. This is the only shop I recommend to friends and peers. Keep up the great work HOF! Read Less

My friend and I went there today and had Tyler tattoo us both with matching tattoos. He was super nice and he totally put up with all of my BS whining like a champ! We love our new tattoos, the service and the overall experience we had there. We'll definitely be back! Read Less

Everyone at Hearts of Fire is insanely nice and really fun to be around. I got my first tattoo here and will honestly never go to another tattoo place for a long time, and hopefully in my lifetime. Matt was my artist and he was funny and kept me engaged while he was doing the work. You can't go wrong here! Give them all of your tattoo business, they deserve it!!! Read Less

Whether you're looking to get your first tattoo, or an avid collector, you won't find a better shop in town.  I've never seen any work come out of this shop I wasn't impressed with.  Each artist works great with each other and can recommend a different artist in the shop if that artist is better at the style you're looking for.  Jake has done all of my work and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else.  Great folks, and great shop! Read Less

Amazing staff and clean environment. They make you feel at ease and relaxed. They're the nicest and chilliest tattoo artists I've met! I got mine with Matt and he did an amazing job. I am very satisfied and loved that he took his time with every detail of the process! Will come again :) Read Less

Loved my new ink and the laid back atmosphere of all the staff!!! We joked around and laughed all throughout my almost 3 hour session.  Will definitely be returning for my new tats and know I will be satisfied! Just a heads up though- CASH only. :) Read Less

This happened about a year ago, but I'm finally calm enough to write a proper review... A couple of my friends had some work done at Hearts of Fire with an artist named Sarah and they looked absolutely amazing. Both of them had black freehand lettering and since I was interested in getting the Deathly Hallows symbol and the word "believe" underneath with some stars to the side, I knew she was more than capable of giving me what I wanted. I live about 2 hours away so I made the appointment over the phone and we emailed back and forth discussing what I was wanting and how much it would cost. They had all of my info and knew I was traveling 2 hours for the appointment. When I arrived at 5pm a man named Steve greeted me... He said Sarah was "deathly ill" and wouldn't be able to tattoo me that day. He apologized and asked if I would like to reschedule but said if not he would be happy to tattoo me himself. Since I had already spent 2 hours on the road, wasted gas money, my time, and had 2 more hours or driving ahead of me, I didn't want to just call it a day and go back home. Who wants to be on the road for 4 hours for absolutely no reason. I understand people get sick, but I emailed them that morning and included all of my contact info just in case. One way or another someone SHOULD have contacted me beforehand. They all share the same email account... Disappointed as I was, the place looked really clean and had an extremely professional atmosphere so I decided to let him do it. I figured he had to have skill to work at a place like this. I even brought the images and wording in the font I wanted printed out in the exact size I needed. All he had to do was make a stencil and stamp it on me. Simple, right? Well I thought things were going okay but I should have looked in the mirror after he stamped the stencil on my wrist... The way my arm was laying was not really natural and when I show it to someone or have my arm out naturally you can tell it's totally stretched. I wasn't immediately happy with the stencils placement either and after a couple of adjustments he said, "You better like it this time because I'm not doing it again." I should have left at that point but I felt like maybe I was being ridiculous and let him continue instead. Seriously though... You only get one body and tattoos are FOREVER. He then ended up jabbing into me a couple of times while doing the stars and later it was those areas that got infected, took forever to heal and ended up losing the pigment after the shedding process was completed. I asked him to thicken the lines on the symbol and he went over them in a couple of places but I couldn't really tell any bit of a difference. I was too afraid of his response if I asked him to do it again. He also went back over the l and i in "believe" which I didn't ask for and later those ended up being thicker and blurred. I had a small yellow Mario star next to the work he was doing so I asked if he would be willing to go over the outline of it so it looked fresh again. With it being MAYBE half and inch wide and tall and a single black outline I didn't think he would care. He already had more than enough black ink out and it took less than 30 seconds to do. He gruffly said, "Yeah, but you'll have to give me a good tip". He also charged me more than Sarah had quoted me anyway. To top it all off, not realizing it at the time with his annoyance towards me through the entire sitting, he didn't reverse my stencil and did the Deathly Hallows symbol backwards! This has been my hands down WORST tattoo experience ever... I would not recommend having even a single dot tattooed by Steve. EVER! My friends still go there and get work done by Sarah and I'm sure she is fabulous, but I didn't even want to go back for my "free" touch up with Steve. After a year of disappointment and regret every time I look at my wrist, I'm finally going to another artist and paying them to fix the hack job Steve did. Unfortunately there is no way to reverse the symbol... It was meant to look hand drawn/painted and have an open part of the circle which is the wrong way so I'm just going to close it and probably thicken and straiten all the lines. I am still frustrated. I am still angry. The way he treated me as a paying customer is completely unforgivable. Read Less

Ethan, you are the best! You did the most amazing job on my cover up, it is so beautiful. I had a picture taken of it so I can look at it! It is so symbolic of what I have gone through. Perfect idea. I love the Hope you put on my neck and the way it looks. You are by far the best, and I will only come to you in the future. Thank you, for helping me. I will truly be grateful forever. Read Less

I've been going to HOF for several years now. I've becoming very acquainted with everyone there and Ethen has done all my ink. This is a great shop that has gone through many cosmetic transformations and looks the best it's ever looked. A huge saltwater aquarium greets you, along with a large wall mural, when you walk in. There are several artists to choose from, and you can do flash or your own design. They are skilled & courteous. If you're looking for ink, stop here first. Read Less

I recently had a cover up tattoo done at Heart of Fire and was very impressed. The shop is super clean and everyone was really good at what they do. Whether it was the girl doing appointments etc or the artists they were all amazing. My cover up turned out excellent. I wish I would have done my research and found Hearts of Fire before I found the "artist" that did the original ink. Hearts of Fire has good pricing and amazing artists. Thanks to Jake for the excellent tat. I'm thrilled with it. Read Less
