What locals say about Cedar Rapids tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Cedar Rapids.
“Joye- First and foremost a good guy at heart. Let’s start with that fact, respectful, do not force his vision on you when doing your work…but brings your vision to life and more…have had nothing but great experiences and feed back on the work he has done on me…I highly recommend him his work and work ethic speaks volumes..”
“I have lived all over the Western US before coming to IA and this is absolutely the best shop I've been tattooed at. I'm currently three sessions deep on a full sleeve with the owner Josh (2nd piece from PR) and he is consistently fantastic to work with. He is always positive and is excited to collaborate as we work through my ideas and translate them into really unique art. He is also a talented artist so my half baked turbo-nerd nonsense is somehow turning into something amazing! Josh has an easy hand so I can sit for 6 hours at a session w/o feeling like I'm going to throw up and the work always comes out impeccable. Good clean lines and vibrant color are the norm. This has nothing to do with the quality of the work but I also really love the atmosphere of the shop itself. Instead of walls covered in generic flash with a loud hard rock soundtrack I can groove with some quality jazz and look at the real art while I'm getting worked on. All in all its just a quality experience for grown ups to get top notch tattoos.”
“Iron lotus is the tattoo shop I keep coming back to! Morgan H does a wonderful job and I’ve gone to her multiple times. One time I ended up not feeling good when getting work done and starting being sick and passing out. Morgan and the team were quick to respond to my health concerns, helped me come out of it and quickly aided me with a sugar tablet. Proceeded to help me then after some time asked if I wanted to continue or not. I’ve had worst experiences getting my blood drawn at the dr office and feeling faint, Iron Lotus team did a wonderful job! Not to mention I’ve been happy with every tattoo I’ve gotten so far.”
