Just got my second tattoo at Black Squirrel - which is my second tattoo ever :) Both times it was a smooth process and the shop is very welcoming. Plus the artists were patient with me as I'm pretty wimpy when it comes to pain tolerance. Love both the tattoos. I'm a cat mom so I had to get something kitty related. The paw tattoo was done by Jake just this Saturday at the Muddy Paws fundraiser they were hosting (and I found out the design I selected was Claire's who is a former student!). The kitty with the flowers was done by Shari a couple of years ago. Six flowers for six cats I've had over the years. The pics aren't super clear, but I'm very happy with my tattoos.

I cannot RAVE about this shop enough! Clean, super super clean, the staff is all very professional and kind. Def book ahead of time as they are super busy. Today my sisters and I had the pleasure of getting worked on by Lyndon and already planning to return to him the next time I am back in Omaha again!

Clean studio, friendly and professional staff. My first tattoo experience was so great! I scheduled in advance, coming from the east coast to my late husband's hometown, Omaha. I was immediately welcomed and put at ease - I had never stepped foot into a tattoo place before, and didn't know what to expect. I had some ideas for a very personal tribute piece and Jake Parsons was AWESOME. Very chill vibe, listened carefully, cracked jokes and incorporated my ideas into a beautiful piece of art. I have had so many compliments since returning home. I wear this tribute with so much pride. NO REGRETS. If you're on the fence, get off it and book now. Thanks, Jake and Black Squirrel Omaha team. You guys ROCK!

Best Tattoo Studio in the Omaha area. Lyndon, the artist who did my tattoo was amazing. So communicative, and talented. You can tell the whole time how much he cares about doing his best work and making the tattoo an overall great experience. By far the best artist i've had tattoo me. 11/10 experience.

I started my tattoo journey at Big Brain to get a quote. First of all, I came in and was treated as if they were doing me a favor. After being quoted they didn't even offer to help me get what I wanted within my price range. The same day, I came into Black Squirrel. They told me the same price but they also tried to help me find something in my price range. I finally ended up getting my tattoo on April 7th. Kenny did my tattoo and he did amazingly. I'm completely in love and I'll be coming back!

I've gotten most of my tattoos here by Matt D. and one by Mel. I have had a few large pieces done. I came in a few months before I wanted to get tattooed as I know a talented artist will be booked well over a month at a time. I always make an appointment for a consultation as I like to talk directly with the artist. This is a must or you are going to go through the receptionist and have her take it to the artist. Which is OK because I feel she is very knowledgeable on the subject of tattoos. I usually bring in a portfolio of references that pertain to my idea. Matt is very aware as to what will work and what does not. It doesn't mean he does not want to tattoo you. Remember this is a lifetime commitment. Matt and Mel have put together some unique and beautiful work for me. I am always treated with respect. This is a very upscale shop with private rooms. I've been to a few of the other well known shops and I have to say I only trust Black Squirrel as I know they are honest and stand by their work.

I've had every tattoo done by one BS artist or another, and they've all been great to work with. Highly recommend! These guys are awesome.

I made a deal with my daughter that if we went and donated blood (at Nebraska Community Blood Bank!…read moreNot here!), then we could come here and get holes punched in our ears. So we did. I got a cartilage piercing and she got a flat. Lizzy was our piercer and she was great. I totally recommend her. It was $50 to have this done, unless you want to upgrade the jewelry. There were ample choices of the regular ones though so that wasn't a problem, I did not check prices at other places so I don't know if this is typical. They recommended coming in after a few weeks so they can resize the piece, after swelling goes down. There is no extra charge for this. Any future adjustments are free as well, even if you purchase the jewelry elsewhere.

My favorite tattoo shop in Omaha, I love Josephine's work and how comfortable I feel while I am…read morethere. I have been to JoJo for both big and small tattoos, she does amazing work and will help you make decisions on placement and how to make ideas better. She does a great job making sure a custom piece flows well by incorporating your ideas and taking anatomy into consideration. If you are looking for a walk in, you can usually get lucky with one at this shop, but remember that scheduling ahead is usually better for bigger pieces. So, if you are looking for a great tattoo artist, JoJo at Big Brain is where you need go!!
