Field notes

What locals say about Lincoln tattoo shops

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

“Got my daith pierced with my partner who also got a couple piercings, and Bradli absolutely knocked it out of the park! She's incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly, and very thorough with the process. She made sure we were doing okay through all of it and, despite having a fear of needles, I felt really at ease at the shop and with her poking us full of holes. It's a little on the pricier end for piercings compared to what I've paid elsewhere, but you get top-class care in a very clean and safe environment. This experience has locked in a lifetime customer from me.”
Levi on Iron Brush Tattoo
“I’ve gotten all my tattoos done with Ty, and I keep coming back because he is personable, kind, and incredibly talented. Every tattoo I get represents a story for me, and Ty is always so supportive and thoughtful in bringing those stories to life. His studio is spotless, his work is outstanding, and there’s no doubt in my mind that he’s the best tattoo artist in town.”
Vianne S on Ty Smith Tattoos
“I walked in here on a whim and an so happy I did! He couldn’t get me in that day, but he got me scheduled scheduled within a day! I got two small tattoos in one day and his fine line work is amazing. I definitely plan on going back!”
Rhiannon S on Fine Lines Tattoo
