tattoo artists in kc
 

anyone had really good luck with a tattoo place in kc? looking to get my first (and very likely only) tattoo, but i don't know any of the places and know even fewer of the "good" places.

i have not seen anything personally, but i have heard many good things about a place called "freaks on broadway."

Skin Illustrations

Go rob a bank and have it done in prison for free

:rolleyes: idiot

i also recommend Freaks on Broadway

Inkslingers

Tattoos are for sorority girls. Let me brand you, I'll do it for free.

I'm looking at getting my first and am also curious/skeptical of where to go. I looked at the gallary of Inkslingers and thier stuff looked like crap. Maybe its just hard to judge people against the Miami Ink artists.

um...no the art in any tattoo shop should be high quality...I have seen some extremely shitty tattoos come out of KC.

My wife got her tattoo at Irezumi. I would go back there for myself.

I've gotta pimp a buddy of mine from MHK. His name is Robert Miller, from Stray Cat Tattoo in Manhattan, KS. He has done some of the best B&W tats I've ever seen. He's won lots of awards and has been featured in several tattoo mags. He has people drive from all over the US to come back and gets tats from him.

Here's a few links with some of his work....

I always wanted to give a tatoo... We might be able to work something out...

I second that it is not my thing but I know many people that have had tattoo's from there and they do good work.

Edit: At least they did a few years ago when I lived up there if the same people work there you will be in good hands.

That is pretty damn good work. I think I could travel to K-state town for that.

And honestly, I'm a little disappointed in the pics they've got on the website. I've seen a lot of the work he's done in person, and most these pics don't do them justice. The guy is truly talented...

Mine done at SkinIllustrations in Lawrence....

Artist there who specializes in firefighter tats....

Very clean shop
