IRON LOTUS TATTOO & BODY PIERCINGS REVIEWS

I drive an hour and a half from DeWitt to go see Trent at Iron Lotus. There's plenty of good artists in the Quad Cities near me, but I choose to go see Trent because he's great and so talented. He's done four tattoos on me now and I love them all. I can't say enough great things about him!.

Both my husband and I were walk ins on separate occasions. Angel took care of both of us. He was so friendly and made sure we were comfortable through the whole experience. He did excellent work! I can’t wait to return.

Not only were they able to get us in quickly, but 3 artists collaborated to give my 2 sisters and I tattoos paying homage to one our mother has! Each artist added their own flair to match our personalities. They were PERFECT! Wonderful environment and artist.

LEFTY'S TATTOO STUDIO REVIEWS

Had Lefty recommended to me by a friend for my 1st tattoo. Made appointment and sent pics of what I wanted, he designed a custom design based on my input. The process itself was easy, felt safe and professional the entire time. The final result far exceeded what I was hoping for! I would absolutely recommend lefty, or his crew to anyone. Jay.

Went by just to set up an appointment, worked out to be able to get in immediately, the shop was clean and every single employee that was in there interacted and had fun with us, thanks again Ali and Kiley, they stuck around after hours to finish! 100% recommend.

Clean. Professional. Welcoming. Upon walking in, I was greeted by Ali who took my sketch and directly translated it into my tattoo. She was a lot of fun to work with. Excellent customer service. Very nice atmosphere and vibe. Highly recommend!.

WILDSIDE TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING REVIEWS

Walked in on Monday morning to talk to an artist about a tattoo that I wanted done. I spoke with Blue and he was able to get me scheduled for later in the afternoon. When I got back for my appointment we walked through the drawing that my husband did of what I wanted and how I wanted it done. He executed it perfectly. Thanks again Blue for the great customer service!.

Three of us went in and got inked by Syd. We got similar "matching" tattoos. She has such a light touch. My friends special needs daughter wanted to watch and asked a lot of questions which Syd answered. She was so patient and kind! The arr turned out awesome. I can't wait to go back the next time I visit from Lincoln, Ne.

I got my nose pierced here and was really nervous because I’ve never had anything other than my ears done before. Megan worked fast, and did a wonderful job! I think we were only in the shop for a total of five minutes. Overall the place is clean, the staff are great, and the prices are good. I’m definitely be coming back.
