Some friends and I decided to get tattoos here during the Friday the 13th. We got there early to…read moreget in line knowing that there would be a long line, when we left at 1pm the line was around the block. The brought in food trucks, were giving out cookies and brownies beforehand, and did an amazing job at getting everyone in with a good flow. Staff said they had brought in other artist from different shops to help as well. They probably had around 20, the staff did an amazing job at organizing the line, getting paperwork filled out and having everything ready to go when the artists were ready for the next person. Line work was great and I look forward to working with this shop in the future!!

The front desk lady was incredibly sweet, attentive, and welcoming, and the shop itself is…read morebeautiful. Unfortunately, our experience with the artist Thad was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. My husband has never gotten a tattoo before, and from the beginning there were issues with communication and professionalism. The tattoo stencil was made extremely large, which was never discussed with us beforehand. There was no conversation about sizing beyond the placement being around 3 inches across, the size of text was never discussed. I felt like the size was simply chosen for us without our input. When the stencil was placed, it also looked off-center to me. I spent a minute looking at it carefully, and instead of being understanding, Thad repeatedly insisted it was straight and told me that "if I have to stare that hard then I'm finding reasons to be mad at it," which felt dismissive and gaslighting. I then politely asked if the stencil could be repositioned, which is a completely reasonable request for something permanent. He responded very rudely and condescendingly with, "I'd rather not." I explained that we were paying a lot of money for this and that it was going to be on my husband permanently, and only then did he reluctantly agree. After repositioning it, it still looked slightly crooked to me. At that point, instead of trying to work with us professionally, he immediately said that if we didn't like it he would just refund the deposit. I then asked my husband if he liked it and was sure because I was trying to make sure he was happy with something permanent on his body. Instead of handling the situation professionally, Thad rudely and forcefully pushed giving our money back and ending the appointment altogether, which made the interaction feel hostile and uncomfortable. I've been tattooed by many artists in multiple states and have never once had an artist refuse to reposition a stencil or act inconvenienced by a client wanting placement adjusted. Even if he personally believed it was straight, the professional thing to do would have been to cooperate respectfully and help make the client comfortable. Again, the shop itself is gorgeous and the front desk woman was wonderful, but our experience with this artist was unnecessarily hostile, dismissive, and uncomfortable.

I had the best experience with "Big Mike". I absolutely love my tattoo. He explained to me what…read morecould happen to my skin since I am older and my skin is thinner.

I am from Michigan and was visiting Kanas City for my girlfriend's birthday. My girlfriend who is…read morefrom Missouri has gotten almost all of her tattoos at Ol' skool tattoo. Mike is a great guy and does really really good and solid work. I had not intended to get a tattoo while we were here visiting. A guy named "chopstix" at Ol' Skool offered said he could squeeze me in while my girlfriend was getting tattooed by Mike. I checked out Chopstix'a portfolio and looked like has done great work so I figured might as well get a tattoo as well! I give Chopstix and picture of a fairly simple design and he said he could free hand it. His sketch on my arm in marker looked good and I was excited to see how it was gonna turn out! As he starts tattooing I was playing on my phone and just let him do his thing. A little bit into the tattoo it felt like he was going outside of the area he had sketched. I didn't think much of it and he kept tattooing. I suddenly felt that he was going pretty deep into my skin and looked over and Chopstix had nodded out while tattooing me....i looked down at my tattoo and was absolutely horrified at what I saw on my arm. I had to stop him and did not let him continue to tattoo me. He offered to keep going and to "not let me leave until I was satisfied". The damage was done and I told him I would not be paying him. If you go to Ol' Skool tattoo and you see Chopstix....run.
