Hey man, get this, Im not from around Lansing at all. Im just here on leave from the military and I…read moredecided the new year was the right time to get one of the many tattoos Ive had my eye on for a while. With that being said, I spontaneously went on yelp this morning and just typed in "Tattoos" (but in all caps because I was excited). Fish Ladder Tattoo was the first outta the bunch; I read ONE review, hopped in the car and drove over. I said "Eh, Ill just check it out. See what their prices are that sorta thing" Well, when I got there it just blew me outta the water. Everyone was friendly, they were FUNNY, not just regular 'joe-schmoe' funny but they had personalities...personable personalities. It was awesome. They offered me a groovy deal on some Sailor Jerry work and I love it. Its by far the best tattoo Ive got. I dont live here but I have a feeling when I come back to visit I will be back to this shop or whatever shop Madson heads to. Hes hilarious and he works fast and his work is just incredible! He seems to specialize in traditional tattoos which is great if thats what youre into. If not he can draw up whatever! Dont look any further, Lansing is a big small town but I doubt you'll find a better tattoo shop. Oh and did I mention its clean? Holy woah. It sparkles in there. ASK FOR MADSON

I love this bathroom. First and foremost, they had a little basket with ladies products in it and…read morepotpourri spray! A must! And then in the basket they also had a little plant with a cute panda figurine in it so it looks like it's climbing the little plant. The ambiance of the bathroom is homey and had so many different artworks on the walls that you can look at while you're using the bathroom. The environment of the bathroom fosters a comfortable feeling for people getting a tattoo! If you plan on getting a tattoo, don't worry about being scared of the bathroom! It's great :)

I've been going to see Boris Gustav for my tattoos since he was in Grand Ledge! Now that he's at…read moreReo Town, I've followed him there along with recommending his work to my boyfriend. We've both been in his chair 4 times now. He does phenomenal work and is very easy going! I promise you'll be thoroughly entertained and your face will hurt from laughing/smiling so much while getting tattooed by him! I've had 4 different pieces done by him. He is very versatile and creative with his work! I'll continue getting work done by Boris and recommending his work for years to come!

Got some "ink done" here this weekend. Bob, the owner did the work himself. First rate service and…read morethe work was incredible. This was my first tattoo so I wasn't sure what to expect, bu the place was recommended by 3-4 people that I know. Super clean rooms and equip. I swear my tatttoo was healed in about 48 hours because it was just so well done. Highly recommend these guys. They have so much experience and a great rep. I will be going back..the adreneline rush of putting something on your body permenantly was pretty cool. Might have *sigh* another small addiction to add to the pile.....food, clothes, beer and tats. I might just be well rounded some day!

Got my first and second tats here and was blown away. The…read moreartist was the Reverend Dark and I hear that he's found new digs on the west coast. However, if I ever run into him again, I'll make sure to find a spot to let him freehand. Yep, I said it, freehand. The guy did all of my shading on his own and it was incredible. The place was professional, clean, and well-organized. The artists may look a little artsy, but they are very interested in providing the best service and experience you can imagine.

She is truly an artist in every sense of the word. My design wasn't an original. It was something that I found on the internet. But Rachel seemed genuinely excited about the design. She was fun and funny And made the 4 hours it took seem like 10 minutes. The tattoo turned out even better than I had hoped! I will be getting more tattoos in the future, and I definitely found my "forever" tattoo artist. I can not recommend her enough! I only wish I could give ten stars!!!

Great work! Darl did my Mario tattoo better than expected. Would go back for more…read more I went in with a pic of basically what I wanted and he recreated it so that it was uniquely his (and way better), showed me a video of the progression of him making the image on his iPad Pro (super cool capabilities on this thing!) and we got to work. This was done over about a months time, not in one sitting; in case you were wondering. Overall, I had a great experience and would highly recommend this place. Plus, he had this neato tattoo gun that was more like a pen than a gun and had cartridges; that was definitely interesting!

Really satisfied with Darl my artist, especially during covid he was very aware and concerned for…read moreeveryone's safety and he made the experience as comfortable as possible. His artwork was fantastic and he was very thorough, definitely an expert and his advice on placement and size was definitely well received because I listened and it turned out great, I brought my idea in and he perfected it, he loves realism tattoos and he enjoys his work, not to mention he's a great conversationalist..

However, my sister had no clue what was going to happen. Mikaela took the time to explain what she was going to do before she did it...literally every step!! She was amazing! She made us both feel comfortable in the environment while getting our piercing. She also played whatever type of music we wanted! Hades came in towards the end of my piercing and praised the work that she had done for both of us. You could definitely tell that this was not only a great environment to get pierced at but to also work at!! Everything was very clean and the atmosphere in the "studio" was very calming!! I will be back to get more piercings for sure!! Thanks Mikaela at Flesh!
