This is a very nice tattoo parlor. The place is very clean and organized. I have received quality work from the artists I have been tattooed from. Keep in mind, this is a walk in shop so they do not take appointments. If you are going to attempt to go on a Saturday, the line starts forming around 10 even though they dont open until 12. They only do single session tattoos. I will for sure be going back to be tattooed again. I also plan on visiting their sister shop, Liquid Courage for a larger tattoo I have in mind. Read Less

Love that you can walk in no need for an appointment but bring cash they don't take cards you can see who is working on their website as artist rotate each week at this location I recommend this place I have got 3 tattoos from Asa and 1 from Ryan Read Less

Great group and great prices - updating this review as well! Excellent place, great for an amazing tattoo generally the day of. Don’t forget you can call ahead to see how long the wait is, and than go depending on that - they cannot offer a placeholder, as that is their parent shop, Liquid Courage. Once again, nothing bad can be said about this place- been going for well over 8 years. Thanks again y’all! Read Less

Apparently Sailors Grave Tattoo closes whenever they feel like it?  Their posted hours say they're open till 8pm, but then said they wouldn't have taken me in anyways when I showed up at 6 pm to find the door locked? I am so disappointed. I planned around work and other events for weeks to go there only to find the door locked at 6 pm and be met with a "shoulda come earlier" attitude from the woman who gave me my first tattoo over 20 years ago. I was so stoked to get super simple 1.5" black line 20th anniversary tattoos with my husband from her. So much for that? I'm so let down. I had so much respect for the shop and the artist that seems misplaced after this interaction. Read Less

This place is one of the best places to get tattooed in Omaha! The atmosphere is always fun and friendly. I've been tattooed here 9 times and the artists have taken my ideas and come up with something badass every time! It's also really cool that they occasionally will have guest appearances by artists from all over the place. The quality of work and how they treat their clients is second to none! If you're looking to get some ink and don't want to wait to make an appointment, this is the place to do it! Read Less

I was going through a rough time and tattoos are almost like therapy to me. While I usually try to make appointments, they were there for me right away when I walked in. I got 3 very cool tattoos on my fingers from Dan. Clean shop, great, straight forward customer service. I can't wait to return. Read Less

Got my first tattoo here and it was a wonderful experience. All the staff were professional, yet they made it fun and comfortable! I got a tattoo for my mom when she got sick and I love it so much! I went in there with a quote and a picture of a flower and that's it, and they turned into something awesome! Thanks again! Read Less

What other walk-in shop can you find the highest quality tattoos? I've lived in Omaha for 3 years and I will not be tattooed anywhere but liquid courage or sailors grave. Sailors grave gives you the opportunity to walk in week to week and experience different tattoo artists styles without having to book an appointment. Best tattoo experience in all of Omaha. Read Less

This is my favorite shop to go to in Omaha! I love that they rotate different artists to allow their clients to meet new artists and see their work! The shop is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. All staff are professional and work with you to create an individualized piece of art. Love Sailors Grave! Read Less

I love going to Sailor's Grave for all my ink. I've never walked away unhappy with my tattoos. I refuse to go anywhere else. I'll make the 3 hour drive. You guys do amazing work. Not to mention the clean shop and friendly environment! We were there all day waiting and were the last ones before they closed. They treated us awesome and showed us their appreciation by giving us the deal of the day. Read Less

Once gotten 3 pieces from the folks at Sailor's Grave and at least 2 from Liquid Courage. When anyone asks me about shops I'd recommend in Omaha, SG and LQ are immediately at the forefront of my mind. Phenomenal work. Wonderful artists. Good, genuine people.Read Less

I have 4 tattoos and I have gotten them all from Sailor's grave!!! I love how friendly everyone there is and how you can just come hang out with people getting tattooed. It has made getting tattooed a communal experience for me. Sharing experiences with others in my life is important to me and this place let's me do that so freely, I love it! I can guarantee that I will be getting more tattoos from this shop. So awesome!!! Read Less

I showed up to get two tattoos just after 1:00 on a Saturday afternoon. There were several people ahead of me and I ended up waiting around 3 hours in the shop. Although it was a long wait, I wouldn't change a thing. The atmosphere was relaxed and I had a great time talking with everyone. The time flew by and Ryan did an amazing job on my tattoos. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else! Read Less

Man whew,  relief that a chance taken is a great tattoo they'll be makin! Sailors grave in Benson is a place to stimulate creativity,  with endless outlets of the minds of these artists. Steady hands, patient humble attitudes.  The guy who did my butterflies had red hair,  i am terrible with names so maybe he should have signed his work because i tell ppl where and would like to remember his name.  I shall call him the artist. I took a detour recently and will never forgive myself for not returning here first. I can't get other tats because i compare then to my masterpiece on my leg. Dam u, your too good! But yes.  Consistent and i didnt have to sell my kidneys to get it. Thanks guys. Read Less

I've gotten 4/6 of my tattoos at Sailor's and I couldn't be happier with the final products. The shop is clean and inviting and the artists are respectful of the concept while making it their own. Yesterday was my best experience I've had, with shop owner Johnna. I cried when I saw her beautiful work and feel honored to have been tattooed by her. Devin, Jason, and Jake have also given me incredible pieces. If you don't want to wait months for a tattoo, but still want quality work, this is the place to go. Read Less

It was an awesome experience from start to finish. Ryan did my tattoo, and it turned out amazing. I come in with a quick sketch of an idea, and he made it even better. He had a couple ideas about it, but I wasn't a fan of the ideas, and he wasn't rude or a jerk about me telling him I didn't like that idea. When getting the tattoo, Ryan was a neat guy to talk to. I will definitely go back to Sailor's Grave! Read Less

overpriced and rude staff. Went in and the staff member who was just standing around think his name was Asa made it seem as though it was an inconvenience that I was even there. Spoke with him briefly and got a ridiculous quote for more than double of anyplace else in town. As far as I'm concerned they have lost my business permanantly Read Less

I was visiting my mom for the weekend and wanted to get matching tattoos for her bday. We went to Sailor's Grave and showed them our idea and where we wanted it. Nearly 2 hrs later, we were tatted and happy. Asa was our artist and he was very personable. Read Less

They are awesome! If you don't want to make an appointment and wait several weeks to get into liquid courage then go here! You get the same great staff and the same quality service! This is a walk in only shop I believe, and someone told me that if your tattoo takes too long they won't do it at this shop. If you go on a weekend it can be hard to get in unless you get in early. I got there 15 min before they opened and there was a line already at the door and it was freezing cold! I can't even imagine if it wasn't so cold, how many people sometimes wait in line before they open. We waited probably around an hour or so and I was the third person they tattooed that day. Chris Ayalin was my tattoo artist visiting from Seattle. He did a great job! I would have gone to their other shop if it was a harder more detailed tattoo and I would have been happy to wait several weeks for a bigger tattoo from liquid courage. This one I got was very small and basically just a lot of straight lines so it was perfect for me to just walk in that day and get it done then! I'll always go to sailors grave or liquid courage for any future tattoos! Read Less

My husband and I decided we wanted tattoos for our birthdays.  Being newbies to the tattoo world we did review searches and saw liquid courage got really good reviews.  We went there not realizing we should have made an appointment awhile in advance. Since we were wanting to get them sooner than their next open appointment they referred us to Sailor's Grave.  Prior to going, I looked up their website and saw that people sometimes form lines outside before they open, so we got there early and started the line (about 20 minutes before they opened).  Within 5 minutes there were 3 people behind us (went on a Thursday).  I had an idea of what I wanted, but didn't have an exact picture.  Andrew was able to capture the essence of what I wanted and whipped up a sketch really quickly.  My husband had a picture of what he wanted and he just emailed the screenshot and was ready to go quickly also.  I didn't really have any reference for pricing other than what my friends had told me they had paid for their tattoos, but the prices we were quoted sounded fair to me.  There is an ATM next door if you need to get cash, but there is a $200 limit.The atmosphere was great.  I felt comfortable from the start. The work areas were very clean and looked organized.  Andrew and Jake were both very approachable and answered all our questions.  Overall had a great experience and even though this was a random idea my husband and I decided to do together, it turned out so great I want another already!

Wonderful experience. As a walk-in only shop my husband and I waited for hours. But during that time the Devon, Dan and Aaron were nothing but courteous, professional and kind. We've both been to sketchy shops and cheaper places - stepping into Sailors Grave was the tattoo experience we always deserved. The guys were so caring towards everyone in yhe shop and each other. The tattoos we recieved were high quality and beautiful. I appreciated how into they talked through every step of the process and answered every question.  This and sister shop Liquid Courage are our go-to tattooists in Omaha. This place would be GREAT for a first-timer. Read Less

I've been around Liquid Courage for my fair share of time in the chair, having my chest piece and entire left half-sleeve done there by the outstanding artist Andrew Milko, and I recommend that shop frequently. Sailor's Grave is their walk-in only shop located in Benson and uses the same phenomenal artists who are rotated between the walk-in shop and the appointment shop (Liquid).The half sleeve is obviously a much larger piece and required several appointments to complete, however, I had a small piece that wasn't too time intensive that I wanted done and knew that it could easily be done in one session. With that being the case, I went over to the crew at Sailor's Grave and got to business. Johnna was the artist working at the time and being co-owner of Liquid Courage, I was well aware of her work and pumped to get some art.I already had a very good idea of what I wanted so I gave her the rundown and she went to work on drawing it up. Perfect placement, a light hand and a well done piece was the result for the art I will wear the rest of my life proudly among my ever growing collection of ink.Highly recommended if you're looking to get a smaller piece done or are feeling a bit impulsive. If you have a larger piece or one more intensive to detail/planning then hit up their main shop Liquid Courage. Either way, you'll be getting amazing work from a very, very talented group that takes pride in their work and treat each tattoo as if it's their official business card. Read Less

I just got it and said I wanted portion smaller and Should have fought more!! Maybe there should've a balance between what someone ask for and putting your ego aside. I kept saying I want it smaller and a guy that has  tattoo his whole life said it just doesn't look right Read Less

This place is great! I felt very comfortable and the guys were very friendly. Devin did a fantastic job. He is very knowledgeable and provides helpful advice. I love my tattoo even more than I thought I would. I wouldn't go anywhere else if I ever get another one. Read Less

I took my "scared of needles" teenager to get her eyebrow pierced. The guy there made her feel so comfortable and was nice that she felt relaxed and didn't pass out as we all predicted. Definitely would go back there again. Thanks! Read Less

Called liquid courage and they were booked 3 weeks out and referred me to their sister shop which is this place.  Walked in and was immediately seen by Jason, one of their artists.  It's a $60 min and when it comes to forever, I don't mind paying the price for quality.  I originally wanted my tattoo to be smaller but the artist was professional and explained why he felt more comfortable with making it a tad larger.  I love my tattoo, the place is clean and and the staff was welcoming.

Sailor's Grave is run and staffed by the same awesome crew as Liquid Courage so you know it's legit. I've had work done by Dennis and he is talented/professional - made me feel completely comfortable and I love the finished piece. I'm sure all the artists are the same. Read Less

Great walk-in sister store to Liquid Courage. I got a very precisely lettered tattoo the other day and the artist was friendly and attentive. I waited quite a while, but that was due more to the indecisive customer before me than the artist. I'll be back soon! Read Less

I've been tattooed at Liquid Courage many times before, but I really got into the more open environment at Sailor's Grave.  We all interacted with one another and even if the conversation didn't directly include any of us there wasn't any apprehension on throwing in our two cents.  It was very comfortable and we laughed quite a bit.  I was the only female in the shop at the time too.I've been to other open air type shops before and I've always gotten the feeling like I am being gawked at.  I never got that feeling when I was at Sailor's.  I think it's a perfect example of the type of professionalism that they bring to an industry that can be notorious for everything but that.Devin did an amazing piece for me that night, couple that with the awesome environment you absolutely can't go wrong!
