My experience with this shop was horrible. A friend and I were interested in getting a very small and simple tattoo design (essentially the outline of a heart with a crown). Typically, I know it's best to make appointments, but we decided to take our chances as walk ins that day. I called the shop and asked if they were busy and could take a few quick walk ins and the receptionists said yes. When we got there, the shop looked dirty and there was only one artist and a receptionist, who had her kid running around. They were very friendly people and the artist said he would be able to get us in as soon as he finished with his last client. Despite my initial nervousness about the condition of the shop, I decided not to let that sway me since I have been to amazing shops in the past that didn't have the nicest appearance. However, it didn't take long after that to realize we had made a mistake. When the artist was ready for us, he called us back and asked if we had a picture of what we wanted. Upon saying yes, he had his receptionist pull up the picture online to print it out and trace it. She pulled it up in a word document and proceeded to stretch and manipulate the image to the point where it didn't even look like the same one. When she printed it out and attempted to trace it, the results were terrifying. It was supposed to be a very simple heart, but it was lopsided and looked like the kid had drawn it. She complained that the picture was a weird shape. The artist came out after hanging up the phone and explained that he would fix it and we felt better momentarily since we overheard that the receptionist was new. While the artist traced our image, he complained to us about the lady he just hung up the phone with and started bashing other tattoo shops around the area, saying that the artists were always shooting up drugs. When he presented us his traced image, I was stunned. It was just as horrible as the one she had drawn. There was no way I was getting that on my body forever. I apologized for wasting their time but explained that we needed to leave suddenly. To which the artist responded, "I can get you both done in ten minutes." Please take my advice and make an appointment at a more reputable shop. I am amazed that this shop is still in business when they couldn't even draw a simple heart, talked badly about other shops, and would have done quick, sloppy work. The people were very nice, and I can't say that enough. But I am appalled at their "artwork."Read Less

I went in today to get a tattoo and it was a great experience. It was my first tattoo and John was very nice and friendly with my friend and I. The place was clean and everything checked out. I've been wanting a tattoo for years, but could never find a place that I thought did good work until I found Steel City Ink. They did a fantastic job on my lettering and a fantastic job on my friend's shading. Will definitely be going there again and will recommend to all my friends.Read Less
