I came in as a walk in to get a quote on a tattoo and the girl at the desk made me feel welcome and like I was a regular. She got Mike who did my consultation and quoted me a fair price. Needless to say Mike whipped up my tattoo that I am extremely happy with. Best $70 I've spent and I most definitely will be getting more work done here in the future. Thanks Mike and staff for making me feel welcome and at ease. You guys rock! Read Less

Dennis was incredible. I went in to get my double earlobes repierced. He also noticed that my cartilage was done improperly and offered tips on how to fix it. He made me feel very comfortable and answered all my questions. Very professional. Awesome experience. I'll be sure to recommend Enigma to all my friends! Read Less

Went in on a whim to get my septum pierced today. The lady at the front desk was super reassuring and awesome! I was pierced by Dennis. He was so calm and made me laugh the whole time, I barely even felt it. It is perfect and doesn't hurt 4 hours later!!! Definitely go here if you're considering a piercing! Read Less

My best friend and I went in for a respective tattoo and piercing walk-in because she had a good experience here for her first cartilage piercing. Unfortunately, we both had sub-par experiences this time. My tattoo artist did a decent job but was very standoffish and was making me anxious, even though it was my fourth tattoo and I’m fairly used to being under the gun. The piercer who worked with my friend was even worse. He ridiculed her for being nervous, bad mouthed her last piercer for doing a bad job, told her what she wanted wasn’t possible and then rushed her into making a decision she was unsure about. I’m sure there are other artists at this shop that do very good work, but we were certainly unhappy with our experience. Read Less

Very friendly and chill atmosphere. You can tell they really care about the quality of artwork they put out unlike some other places that will just tattoo whatever the client says. They are very honest and clear about what will be the best choice for you in their professional opinion. I am happy I went with their suggestions! AJ was my artist and he did a great job making me feel comfortable and at home for my first tattoo. Me and my boyfriend have gone back for more work from him and are always impressed by his quality of work and professionalism. Read Less

Went in to get my ear jewelry changed. Customer service was great from the time we walked in until we left. Katie was a huge help when it came to picking out my jewelry and aftercare products. The service was great, very clean and I would recommend them to anyone looking for body art. I'll be returning. Read Less

AUGUST IS AWESOME! We had mutually made a mistake on my design and neither of us had realized it until it was already on my body. He was so remorseful that he not only did a cover up, but gave me a beautiful piece that'll I'll be happy to have and show off. The entire staff is extremely nice and helpful as well. Read Less

I had an absolutely amazing experience here at Enigma! I'm new to the area and came across the positive reviews for this location on Yelp. I went in with my boyfriend to get a tragus piercing for my birthday, and the experience was smooth from beginning to end. The lady at the front desk was super sweet and helpful, and just her positive attitude helped me get over some of the nerves I had. Dennis, the piercer, was just awesome. This was my first cartilage piercing, and he took his time being honest about the upkeep needed for a tragus piercing, as well as the level of discomfort I should expect both during the piercing process as well as afterwards. As for the piercing process, all tools were fresh out of the package, and Dennis' demeanor was incredibly relaxing. The process was super quick, and I'm convinced that it was as painless as it could be (like a 3 out of 10 ). After leaving, I barely noticed my piercing until I had to clean it later (and even then, it wasn't particularly painful or uncomfortable). All in all, I'm super happy with my tragus piercing and I'll definitely be back in a few months to get the other one done! I highly recommend Enigma for your piercing needs; they'll definitely take good care of you from start to finish. Read Less

Got a cartilage piercing for myself and earlobe piercings for someone else. Everyone was professional, my piercer in particular was very friendly. I thought the prices were fair as well, overall a great experience! Read Less

Billy recently did couples tattoos for me and my husband. They are absolutely amazing, he was able to take our idea and turn it into something spectacular! His attention to detail is amazing and he made us feel comfortable the entire time. We had a blast with him and plan to get many more done in he future. Read Less

My friends and I had a bad experience here the other day. My friend was talking to one of the artists about getting a tattoo and it was obvious that his tone was very condescending. Unfortunately a lot of tattoo artists think they're just simply better than a majority of people. I advised my friend to wait on the ink because I was getting bad vibes from the guy. He even answered the phone at one point, and when he hung up, he kept saying "Kill yourself" about the person that called...I don't know the guys name, but he's bald and has a huge beard. Don't even waste your time with him. Read Less

James did an excellent job, he was very creative and great with his work on a dark skinned person like myself. I am so very pleased with the job he has done and now just a few days later I 'm already being asked where I got my tattoo done Read Less

I recently got my nose pierced by Dennis. He was extremely professional and helped to calm me down when it was obvious I was a little nervous about the pain. (I'm a baby I know!) He went over any questions or concerns I had as well as walked me through how to keep my piercing sterile instead of just handing me a paper and sending me on my way. I would highly recommend him if you are thinking about getting a piercing!Read Less

Billy Rahmberg is my favorite tattoo artist ever! He is so chill and knows what he's doing. Almost all my tats have been done by him (i have alot) and I have never left disappointed. He goes out of his way to make the work he does look better than you could of imagined. Not to mention he's fun to hang with while getting ink. Everyone in this Shop is super cool and the environment is great! I always look forward to going to Enigma! Read Less

The artist's at Enigma tattoos are some of the most helpful and informative tattoo artists I've met. My fiance and I just walked in today and wanted to get each get a little something and our artist Brian was super chill and helpful with assisting us in making our tattoos look the best for us. If we had an idea that wasnt feasable, he told us flat out. Super honest dudes up there and theyre tattos are amazing. I Definitely recommend coming to Enigma tattoos. You will not be disappointed. Read Less

Tyler, who I learned is the owner, went out of his way to touch up a couple of tattoos that I got elsewhere that I wasn't happy with. I left feeling stoked about my new pokes and will definitely be going back to these guys for the future. Not only are they obviously skilled, but I had such a genuinely fun time. It's all about the experience, and Enigma's is top notch. Read Less

I went and got my first piece done by Dennis yesterday, After bothering him for years with goofy tattoo ideas that I never went through with, and I couldn't be more pleased with the resulting tattoo that I left with. My memorial for my son looks amazing and I am so thankful that Dennis was the person to do it. I definitely plan on coming back for more. Thank you guys for all you do, and thank you to Dennis for dealing with my annoying Husband & I for an hour! Read Less

Went in for a piercing and toph did it. It was virtually painless and over with within a minute. He explained everything thoroughly & in full detail to where I can understand. Everyone here is friendly and the environment is very welcoming. Really is a great place I will be back here in the future Read Less

Billy is an amazing artist and such a nice guy! Everyone in the shop is so friendly and welcoming. Dustin is an awesome piercer and is so funny and makes you feel comfortably. Beth at the front desk is super friendly also. I will definitely recommend Enigma Tattoos and they will always have my business! Read Less

I just got my nipples pierced yesterday by Dustin Riley & omg he was amazing! I'm very dramatic so he made sure I was comfortable and he gave me the time I needed to brace my self for the pain. The pain was maybe a 5 or 6 nothing intolerable. I will most definitely be coming back here for my next piercing! Read Less

I would recommend Enigma to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing. The place is immaculately clean. The staff are friendly and fun. The talent is extraordinary. I've been for multiple tattoos and piercings and though I've only personally worked with Toph, I've watched some of the others do their thing and they are great! Read Less

Dennis was absolutely amazing!! Took the time to talk with us, made suggestions and then drew up our design. Wonderful personality. Made my trip to STL from Arizona fantastic as he did our best friend tattoos. Highly recommended this shop. From the front desk to the artist all around amazing!! Read Less

I came in to inquire about changing my piercings and a cover up, extension of some art I already have. The artist/pierced/ and receptionist were awesome! I felt very comfortable and appreciated their honesty on how and what I could use to cover up the art I have currently and offered some nice alternative ideas. I will be back within two weeks for a consultation and my deposit so we can get started on some new additions to my body art. B. Ramsey is amazing (as well as the others I spoke with this evening) and I look forward to making this my new body art home !!!! Read Less

Billy as been my tattoo artist for the last 6 years. He has never done anything that I didn't absolutely love. He knows exactly how to place a tattoo, how to make it look it's best on your body, and his conversation and capability to comfort people during the experience is second to none. Everybody else in the shop is more than welcoming. There's an incredible environment that cannot be matched by any of the other Stl shops. I've tried. Between the overall expertise, the homeliness, the chill environment, and the level of fun these guys bring to the table, they run by far my favorite body art establishment in Missouri. Read Less

Got my first and only tattoo at Enigma a few years ago. Toph came highly recommended.  Very simple tattoo. What a mess. So ugly. It is missing color, has been faded since an hour after I got it and I hate it. Went back in two weeks after I got it and was pretty much blown off when I asked them to fix it. I had wanted a tattoo for 30 years and finally got one and its awful. I won't even walk near that place now. Their customer service is the worst. Read Less

My experiences at this shop have always been more than pleasant. I went in today to get a water color piece done, and as always, was not dissapointed. Chris took care of me and did a very very spectacular job. The pricing is fair, and the shop is clean. Read Less

While visiting my sister in St. Louis we decided to get tattoos. We checked out a couple different places and Enigma was the place to go. From their friendly staff to their meticulous preparation process, I was not disappointed. Toph is who did my tattoo. He was extremely experienced and made the process quick and easy. His work is really clean and all the lines were perfect! Read Less

I had the extreme pleasure of receiving a tattoo by Dennis ( who is awesome) very quick and efficient he free handed my tattoo and it came out gorgeous! Whenever I'm in St. Louis I will always stop by and see Dennis for more ink!! Read Less

As a 20 year old WashU student with no tattoos, Enigma has been extremely welcoming and non-judgemental which is awesome! I got my cartilage and conch ear piercings done at Enigma about a year and a half ago with little pain and great service, and then tonight I got a rook ear piercing. I was pierced by Dennis Yi Adams, who is fantastic and directly told me that a certain location (daith) wouldn't work due to the size of my ear so I was able to choose the rook location instead. He also carried out the actual piercing quickly and it was definitely bearable and now barely hurts at all even though it involves piercing through a tough area! I definitely recommend requesting him if you go and I will continue to go to Enigma for all of my ear piercing whims!! Read Less

Just had my third tattoo done here (first one at Enigma) and it went beautifully.  The guys were great, very patient in helping me to determine the font and size of my tat.  Location was clean and the work done was quality.  Chris was my artist and I'd go to him again in a heartbeat.  Nice guys! Read Less

I went in for my first tat and couldn't be more pleased. My artist Ty was friendly and professional. The pricing is fair, not as much as Iron Age and other places in the St. Louis area. Overall pretty good experience, I'll be going back for my second. Read Less

I went into the old Enigma studio with a "rough vision" of what I wanted for my second tattoo. Mike Rush stepped right in, drew up EXACTLY what I was hoping for, and took his time tattooing me. He gave me time for breathers, and talked to me through the entire process. As an added bonus, he didn't charge me nearly as much as his talent is worth. He is an incredible artist. I will go back to him and ONLY him for my future tattoos. Read Less

It was my first tatto so i was little nervous. Mikah was my tatto artist, he did a really great job, he customized my design so nicely. The result was better than i expected and the price was very reasonable compared to other parlor around. All the other guys who works their seems really nice and friendly. I would highly recommend Enigma. Read Less

Well, there's probably a reason there are no reviews on this place.I got my first (and only) tattoo here. I had been thinking about getting it for years and was finally ready to go and commit. It was when I lived in West Co and my first choice was All Star, but they were closed that night because there were off doing some tattoo convention. I should have just waited, but I really wanted to do it that night.I reluctantly traveled a little further east to Iron Age, where they wanted to overcharge me (surprise, surprise). I just wanted some small, simple lettering on my upper back (about 6 or 8 inches across), just black ink, no frills, and they wanted to charge me $160. Screw that noise.So I went and checked out this place across the street. If this is the business I'm thinking of, it's the one on the second story.The place was clean, and the staff were generally very nice, they took my walk-in, and the price was right ($80, which is exactly what I was expecting) but they botched my tattoo.I gave him the printout from my computer. Exact font I wanted. He just had to friggin' trace it. And he couldn't even do that.I swear he must have had a history of a stroke because he could NOT copy the letters worth two shits. I was so confused by his inability to trace. He traced the lines but was unable to do the thickened parts of the letters (to make it look like, ya know, calligraphy?). Eventually I just said, "Let me do it." And I sat behind the counter and worked on my own damn tattoo. But he had kind of messed up the stencil by this point and I no longer had my original and NOT BEING A TATTOO ARTIST, I did the best I could, but it still wasn't quite right. I explained to him that I wanted the letters to be thin on the serifs and thicker in the middle (is that so hard to understand? I showed you the font!). And he said, "Oh, yeah it will thicken up when I actually use the needle."I thought he was finally pickin' up what I was throwin' down and I went for it. But in the end I think he meant the pen stroke itself will be thicker than a pencil. He did not understand what I was talking about. I had reservations and I should have ran right then and there. But I was so geared up to get this tattoo tonight that I went for it. Big mistake.Long story short, it looked like a 4th grader practicing cursive on my back. I said, "That's not what I pictured." His condescending response? "Well, you don't want some computer font anyway." Wow. Fuck you, dude.Even though I went home and bawled my eyes out that night because I hated my tattoo, I have since come to embrace it and love it. It looks like I am just so awesome and chill that I told a tattoo artist to freehand in whatever style he wants, ha. I keep the real story to myself.I should have done my research, but I was in college and it was my first tattoo, so sue me. I was getting advised by my tattooed friends on price, but maybe I got what I paid for. One of these days I will get it touched up by a more talented artist. I don't hate my tattoo anymore, but I am definitely going somewhere different for my next, and I'm never going to this place again. Not when there are so many better places in the area. Read Less
