From the owner: Originally from a farm near New Underwood, SD. I started to pursue my passion for Tattooing in the…read morebeginning of 2021. In January 2023, i graduated Esthetician school and in March of 2023 I continued education for brows, lips & piercings in Malibu, CA. I opened my studio in march of 2023 and i now have the privilege to offer free brows to chemo patients while also specializing in fine line tattoos. The art of tattooing is a memory of a loved one, a way to feel more confident in your body, and so much more. I have always had a passion and love for art! I now get to bring my artwork to life on peoples skin and i am beyond grateful for this journey!

I wish I could give this place no stars. The work on their website is stolen and when pointed out…read moreon their Google review section, they called me a liar. I was in fact tattooed there (before I knew of the stolen art work) and they told me they didn't tattoo me... the Navi behind my ear says otherwise. I'll attach pictures of his artwork, screenshotted directly from his Instagram. Make the call yourself based on that.

This is my tattoo that I received 8 months ago. I asked for the bricks to be clear and large enough…read moreto insert names. After it's completion, I was told the black ink inside would fade after 2 months. It never did. When I contacted the company, I was first told that they wanted me to love my tattoo. However, when I went in for a consultation I was told that it wouldn't fade AND the bricks were too small to add names AND the artist who did it had been fired. So, they offered to color the bricks red and list the names underneath the wall. Oh yeah, they also offered to give me a credit...as if I would let them touch me ever again! It's not what I asked for and the only way I could love this tattoo is with a refund so I could get the wall removed and start over. DON'T TRUST A WORD GEMINI SAYS!

Went into the shop and was told the tattoo artists wouldn't be in until the next day. It was…read morerecommended that I send my idea to their Facebook page and that I should've been able to get an appointment for the next day. I sent my ideas through messenger.

My two sisters and I came into The Tattoo Cellar for a meaningful sibling tattoo, and we're so glad…read morewe did. From the moment we walked in, the space felt clean, open, and welcoming. We were paired with Richard as our artist, and he absolutely nailed it. Richard took the time to understand the personal meaning behind our matching tattoos and treated the whole process with care and precision. His professionalism, steady hand, and good energy made the experience even more memorable. We laughed, shared stories, and walked out with something permanent that we'll cherish forever. If you're thinking about getting inked in the Black Hills, don't think twice -- go to The Tattoo Cellar and ask for Richard. You'll be in great hands.

Richard, the owner, worked with us and it was a very good experience, he is very professional, and…read morehas a very cool vibe space to get a tattoo completed

Just got my eyebrow done and everything started great, the piercer couldn't get the ball threaded…read moreand lost the hole. So long story short, my eyebrow was tapered three times plus the initial piercing. The jewelry was $35 and was still charged $60. I was in the shop about 40 minutes of my eyebrow just being dug into. The ball was also dropped on the dusty ground (I'm talking the entire base boards full of dust bunnies) and was cleaned (not sterilized) and reused. Nothing was autoclaved. I would be surprised if that doesn't get infected. I should've just stopped the process the first time the piercing was yanked out.

A group of us stopped into this shop during Sturgis to get a small dragonfly tattoo as a…read moreremembrance to a friend who had passed. Free parking can be found on the street. Appointments were not accepted during Sturgis; walk-in's only. This parlor shop is cash only and does not have an ATM onsite. Minimum charge was $100 per person. Each of our tattoo's took 15 minutes max. Our dragonflies looked very different depending on which artist did the work (there were 3 artists onsite). None of our dragonflies turned out amazing; mediocre at best. Overall, had I been the one to organize this stop, I would have passed on this shop. Overpriced for the quality of work performed. Friendliness was bare minimum.

I got a very simplistic tat on my wrist (Phil. 4:13) and the artist drew it up and slapped it on my…read morewrist in less that 4 mins. First- the placement was to low and I have always heard because of the movement of the wrist and due time wrinkles occur so ask if it should be moved up a a quarter inch or so. thank goodness I said something but honestly it doesn't really matter because the numbers are different sizes and the colon (:) is bigger than the numbers. I WOULD NEVER GET A TATOO HERE AGAIN AND HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND THEM.
