What locals say about Kansas City tattoo shops
Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in Kansas City.
“I got two tattoos done by Jeremy yesterday and I’m so happy with how they turned out and how the experience went! He was SO careful and took the time to make sure they were going to look exactly the way I wanted. I came in as a walk in with some finalizing to do on my placement and he had no worries in the world about adjusting the size and angles several times until they were *just right*. Because he was so patient and careful, they turned out PERFECT! On top of being a very talented artist, he did a great job of calming my overactive nerves while I was anxious throughout the session. Whether I was worrying I was making too many adjustments or noticing I “forgot” to shave my armpits for…a long long time, he truly did not care about those things at all and only wanted to give me the best tattoo possible. The studio was also squeaky clean and the rest of the artists I interacted with were all kind, helpful, and welcoming. 5 ⭐️ all around!”
“Just wrapped up my fourth tattoo with Georgia, and once again, she nailed it! The shop is always spotless, super clean, and welcoming — you instantly feel at ease walking in. Georgia herself is incredibly friendly, professional, and just a genuinely great person to be around, making sure you are always comfortable. Her work is consistently fairly priced, high-quality, and she’s impressively quick without ever compromising on detail. I’m always blown away by how efficient she is while still delivering exactly what I want. Bonus points: her playlist is always on point — it’s the perfect vibe to relax, chat, or just zone out while getting inked. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“I can't say enough about how down to earth and professional Bob Bitner has been. This was my first time getting a bigger piece done and from the initial consult to two long sittings so far, he has been a consummate professional, and his work has been impeccable & so creative. Super down to earth and easy to talk to, super clean shop with good vibes. Excellent artist & very good dude! Looking forward to my next appointment!!!”
