What locals say about Council Bluffs tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Council Bluffs.
“Matt is an outstanding artist!! I gave him my ideas for an owl tattoo. He gave me his professional feedback and helped me with my design. I now have a beautiful owl on my calf with some sentimental additions. The artwork and detail are absolutely amazing! I am so, so pleased. I highly recommend him and his studio. It is very clean and well run. And a cool atmosphere! Thank you Matt! -Jodie C.”
“This shop is amazing. Walked in about 3 weeks ago, because it had been 10 years since i had gotten a tattoo. I had design in hand scheduled with Ziggy for Zach Brink, he is a 160 an hour i paid 380 to make sure he had enough time to finish the tattoo with shading and color. He is very clean and his spot, equipment etc is wiped down. He treated the pre tattoo skin spot very clean hygenically. I walked in at 12:30 and was out of there before 3pm with a finished tattoo. He took his time and it is a bitching tribute tattoo. I found my artist and i look forward to building a friendship with and the rest of the shop. Kudos Zach!!”
