I came in for my appointment with a cut on my arm near where he was gonna tattoo (my own fault for not communicating). He was very cooperative and we worked it out to tattoo around the cut and I came back later to finish the rest. The piece came out looking great, I definitely will be back for work in the future. I can't recommend Bryce enough as he was great to work with and genuinely cares about tattooing the best he can. 11/10

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.

I very much enjoyed my artist. He had calm, chill vibes. Mike also listened to me tell him all my…read moremany tattoo ideas, and he 100% gave me what I wanted and so much more.

The #1 tattoo shop in Kansas City. Hands down. Has won tons of awards and all the artists are all…read moreincredibly skilled! As I just said, you cannot go wrong with any of the artists here; however, the two that I go to are Bob Bitner, a master, and Wes Durham, the current apprentice. Both guys have done amazing work and I will continue to recommend both of them as well as the shop as a whole! I will briefly summarize how the process works for those of you that are unaware. Catalyst really only works on appointment only. Unless you want work done by one of their two apprentices you will likely have to put your name on a year long wait list to get an appointment with one of the master artists and likely will also need to give them a down payment-this is so people don't back out all the time. The next step is usually to go have a consultation with your artist that you choose. During this consultation, you and your artist will discuss the type of artwork that you like and want on your body for the rest of your life (lol) and then either he or she will work on some drafts to show you to see if you like them. Most recently, Catalyst was located out in the cuts of Independence, MO off 291 Hwy; however, they recently moved down into the Crossroads! I had my forearm sleeve recently completed by Wes D. at the old Independence shop. I do have an appointment in January of 2019 with Bob B. to finish the rest of my sleeve! This shop prides itself of professionalism, cleanliness, and unique work & artistry. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for when you purchase a tattoo. In my opinion, this will be with you for the rest of your life so you might as well have it done by the best tattoo artists possible!!
