What locals say about Detroit tattoo shops

Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Detroit.

I came here with my sisters to get piercings, and we had such a great experience! Our piercer( I think his name was Romeo) has such a goofy and welcoming personality that instantly makes you feel comfortable. He took the time to make sure we were happy with the placement before doing anything, which we really appreciated. The whole process was quick and professional. We’ve come here for all of our piercings and never had a single issue. Always great, fast, and reliable service. Plus, we even left with some cool t-shirts! This is hands-down our favorite shop, and we’ll definitely keep coming back.

My experience was wonderful, my artist Ralph was very informative about his body of work. He understood the assignment and delivered for my memorial piece for my mother!! Definitely will return the environment very welcoming, clean, and safe!
Adriane Wright on Motown Tattoo Company
Earlobes, daughter. Forget the gunshops. This is the greatest and best piercing parlor in the world. Tribute. The owner responses to 1 star reviews is what brought us in. Highly responsible. They speak for themselves. Front desk is strict with bookkeeping. Three or more times the standard operating procedures were explained. On the initial consult (telephone), at the front desk and on the paperwork, and again, with the child, at the time of the procedure. Clean, clean, clean. Most Excellent!!! Nicest people all around. Rich and the front of house staff are diamonds in the rough. Who could ask for anything more? The best there is in the business hands down.
