I literally love this place so much. They did my nose piercing so good and they always have my sisters, now mine, and dad's back ever since 2010 Kevin is a great artist, and everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY is great in the piercing place. Sofie, (i'm pretty sure her name but the front desk lady, aka the one with the AWESOME piercings) had amazing service, she was so easy to talk to. I was able to be in that shop comfortably in the aesthetic was amazing. Then Bianca, her service was immensely amazing she pierces so good and I 100% recommend her. She was also so kind and willing to do anything for my comfortability! I saw the other people too, and they looked so rad It was crazy! Also sorry I haven't spoken much about the tattoo. I can't get tattoos. But they are amazing and I love them so much! The piercing went by so quick and they offered me gummies and a Capri Sun, which I'm so thankful for. Thank you Inksmith! read more

Jada is a fabulous up-and-coming tattoo artist. She has been doing amazing work for a good price. Go and check her out!!

I recently got my septum pierced here, and while the staff was friendly and the environment felt clean and safe, I was disappointed with the final result. Unfortunately, the ring was installed crooked, which is pretty noticeable and frustrating--especially since I was hoping for a clean, symmetrical look. Millie kept saying it was my anatomy can sometimes affect how a piercing sits, but I wish Millie the piercer had taken more time to check the alignment or communicated any challenges more clearly. It's disheartening to leave with something that feels off, especially after paying for a professional service. No refund was offered to me or gift card or correcting their mistake. I did get a second opinion at another piercing studio and they said it's off by a millimeter which noticeable on your septum piercing read more

I went to get my ear piercings re-opened, and the staff was very kind and professional. Gem of a business in Louisville, with lots of great jewelry options. read more

I saw Luke today for two tattoos and he was amazing!! He explained everything well, and told me exactly what he was going to do and made the process very quick and easy. I was super nervous getting tattoos in painful locations but he was so patient and it made it all a lot more enjoyable and i think I would have not gotten the second tattoo if I was with someone less understanding and helpful! He touched up an old tattoo I had and it looks amazing it looks like a new tattoo and overall a great experience!!! read more

Absolutely love this place! I've gotten every one of my tattoos and piercings here and have yet to have a negative experience. Before I break down each experience I have overall loved the ease of scheduling, had positive interactions with every member of the Inksmith team, agreed with pricing, and loved the design and beautiful work of each artist. I've gotten my septum (Oct 2020) and industrial (Feb 2021) pierced with Jaycie and even now a year later with both of them perfectly healed I am happy with the results. When they pierced my industrial they asked if I was ok with the placement since they were worried about how it might heal (the bar was touching the back of my ear) and even offered to repierce that side for no extra charge. I declined and it healed fine but I greatly appreciated her looking out for me. My first tattoo was with Kevin (Nov 2020), he designed it for me and I was super happy with the communication on the design. Scheduling was easy and I was extremely happy with the finished product. I got my second tattoo at Inksmith with Danny (Feb 2021), I brought in a design I drew hoping he could tweak the parts I wasn't as happy with and he did happily! He also worked quite quickly and we were done in just 30 minutes! I waited for my piercings and tattoos to heal up and got 3 more tattoos at once with Kevin (Oct 2022) I went in for a consultation and he decided we had enough time to do all three designs I'd drawn and we knocked them all out that afternoon. I've had such lovely experiences I was surprised I hadn't left a review yet I'm going back for my next tattoo with Kevin in a week or so and I don't plan on ever going to a different tattoo or piercing shop. Definitely recommend. read more

I went in as a walk-in for a daith piercing and Vanessa created such a comfortable safe environment. They made sure I was comfortable and even offered me stuffed animals or squishes to easy any anxiety. She was super encouraging and you could really tell they loved working there. Also just watching and hearing how she interacted with their coworkers you could tell she is such a sweet person inside and out! The shop was very clean and I will 100% be going back for all my future piercings. read more

I went in as a walk in to get some new jewelry and help with changing my piercings for the first time ever! The jewelry I got from Etsy was too small and I was able to get new jewelry. They are super transparent with their prices and I was able to figure out what would be most budget friendly for someone like me, a college student. My piercer was Vanessa and she's AWESOME! I thought the piercer I've been going to hasn't been giving me as much information as I thought there was to know about sizing of piercings. She's relatable, funny, and didn't make me feel bad for coming in looking like a hot mess after trying to change my jewelry myself lol. Most of the jewelry is on the more expensive side, but for the quality and something you're putting in your body? I think it's worth it. read more

Best place in Louisville for all your piercing and tattooing needs. Professional artists and piercers. Very friendly staff, I recommend everyone to go there when they need an awesome tattoo or piercing. Only place in town I trust. read more

I am absolutely stoked on the service at Inksmith. I called a few hours ahead for a walk-in and they immediately emailed me asking for what I want and where. Because I've been wanting something like this for a while, and had the time, I was sold when they said they had time with artist Leo. My goodness, this guy was AMAZING!!! Not only was I excited, he seemed thrilled to be doing this piece, he had amazing bedside manners, and got my whole piece done in about an hour and a few minutes! I couldn't be happier! read more

My five (going on 35) year old daughter decided she was ready to get her ears pierced, and she was ready NOW. I wasn't interested in the idea of a 17 year old with a piercing gun at Claire's making holes in her ears, and found Inksmith when doing research on other options. They were AMAZING. Truly. The shop was clean and had a great, comfortable vibe but beyond that, Denice and Mags were absolutely phenomenal with her. I really can't say enough about the experience and these two ladies and wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone to visit these gals! read more

Visited Inksmith while on a girls trip for the weekend. Tattooed by Kevin & pierced by Denice. For someone who's very picky about who tattoos me & pierces me, I give them 10 stars each if I could. Kevin is a great artist & Very good at his craft. He's also friendly & kind while working on your tattoo. Good preparation & cleanliness is top notch. Denice is extremely knowledgeable about the jewelry they use, then walks you through every step before she does anything. I have extremely tiny ears so placement and jewelry is very important so it's not overbearing in a small area. She made picking jewelry simple. She sent me home with everything I needed including after care since I'm out of state. I'm definitely coming back when I'm in the area! All of the staff was friendly, knowledgeable & fun. The entire place is bursting with a great energy. Highly recommend you book an appointment immediately with this great group of people! read more

Very clean and professional, Leo did an excellent job, refreshing my tattoo. Would definitely recommend.

They did such a lovely job with my 7-year-old daughter's ear piercing. Denise was wonderful--speaking calmly and in a matter-of-fact way that put my kiddo at ease. She and her colleague took their time and my daughter said that it didn't hurt at all. They look great and she and I are super happy. read more

I came to Inksmith for my first ever tattoo after doing a lot of research and landing on a design that meant a lot to me (my daughter's birthday) I emailed back and forth with Chalanda which included sending a preview of my design, and was happy to get an appointment on a Friday when she let me know Thursday they had availability. Being that I was completely new to tattoos, I was nervous but was amazed at how comfortable and welcoming the shop was. Well lit, incredibly clean, music playing but not blaring, just really nice all around. After I checked in with Chalanda and filled out my waiver, Luke came over and showed me a mock up he'd created based on my design and asked for my feedback on size, boldness, etc. He then printed me a few different sizes and we landed on one. Since my tattoo was a date in Roman Numerals, Luke made sure about 5 times he had the numbers right which was very reassuring. The inking process took about 20 minutes, and Luke made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My tattoo looks amazing and I was so happy to visit a shop that made me feel comfortable and relaxed - if I decide to get another one, I'll be calling Inksmith again! read more

I came here for my 6th tattoo and a touch up of another and my son came with for his first tattoo. Kevin was so amazing with my son who I'm sure was more nervous than he let on. His design was done perfectly and looks better every day. The color is vibrant, the lines are well defined and the price was great. I was very happy with the vibe there. It wasn't a tattoo parlor that made me feel that I wasn't hard core enough to be there. Everyone was so friendly and nice!! My tattoo touch up on the top of my foot looks brand new again! The new tattoo I got looks great! I may go back to have a couple of flowers added and a bit more lining on the smaller buds (I got a cherry blossom branch on my ribs) I have no doubt that when I do, it will be fantastic. At first I was worried because the color shade was so close to my skin tone but as it healed, the detail is amazing and the colors look perfectly "girly" and accomplished exactly what I wanted! When I get my additional branches, I'll 100% be returning because I know Kevin will do a stellar job again! read more

this place is great!! i got a septum here a month ago and the appointment was a super easy process, Bianca did my septum and I had to wait a bit for the jewelry to get cleaned, but that's completely fine. Everything is super clean and sanitized, and the jewelry is the best quality. It was a good price and a week after i got it it didnt hurt much anymore. But now a month later it doesn't hurt at all and i cant even feel it read more

My mom took me for my birthday to get my second lobe piercing done. The lady who did it was very nice and patient, and walked me through every step of the process to help ease my anxiety. She talked me through the positioning and everything. It was also very clean! I felt very safe there, and the pricing was reasonable. If I ever get another piercing, I'll definitely be back read more

The people here are very sweet and clearly know what they're doing which is obviously great to know when getting extra holes in your body. I've came to this place on multiple occasions for tattoos and piercings and I highly recommend them. I know for a fact that Danny, Denice, and Jaycie are amazing and I definitely suggest going to them to get some work done! My family and friends can all vouch. :) read more

I flew in from Chicago to get an tattoo with my brother last minute. We called around many places with no hope in getting us in last minute, and found great reviews on Inksmith and wanted to see if they were able to do anything within a couple days. Denice worked her magic and was so professional and was able to move around appointments to squeeze me and my brother in a time slot with Danny. The whole staff is very friendly and welcoming and can not THANK them enough for making this one of the best experiences I have EVER came across in a tattoo shop. Danny was one of the most detail oriented and professional artists that me and my brother have encountered. He took the time to make sure that everything was perfect and made it an enjoyable experience. I would like to say I live in Chicago, and I have an artist back home. However, after with seeing this professionalism and how GREAT of an experience this was I will be purchasing a plane ticket any time I need a new tattoo. I can't express how amazing of an experience this was and I will be back for the remainder of my tattoos. It is cost efficient and they do amazing work and are willing to work with your vision. Thank you so much Inksmith and you have now made a life long customer that lives hundreds of miles away. I highly recommend Inksmith and if you are reading this I hope you do too. Thank you again:) read more

Great experience here, Magdalena was super nice and great at what she does, go here for your piercings.

I won't go anywhere else for my piercings! All the ladies here are so great. This shop as a whole has the best customer service and always make you feel welcome and comfortable! read more

Hands down best tattoo shop in Lafeyette/Louisville area. Highly recommend seeing Ivanna, she does great work!

My seven year old daughter had the best experience getting her ears pierced. Highly recommend this place.

A friend recommended this place for piercing. I so regret listening to her! So much attitude. Ive been getting piercings for 30 years and I've never experienced this much attitude in a shop before. Both Denise and Hannah were extremely rude from the minute we walked in the door. I do believe that they do a good job at the actual piercing, but the customer service is severely lacking. Vanessa was the only one who was respectful and friendly. Will not return. read more

Me and my family came in to get different jewelry put in without an appointment. They were so so busy but Denice and Jaycie were super helpful and got all three of us in within 10 minutes. They're always so sweet and even in the 30 seconds we were with them they didn't make anything feel rushed! Love them !! read more

Inksmith is nothing short of a highly professional tattoo shop. I couldn't be happier with the cobra I had done on my arm, perfect drawing and placement. Danny (my artist) and all the staff are very kind hearted and outgoing people, love the atmosphere. This shop is very clean, and they will make you feel at home. They can tackle all styles of tattoo work you may be looking for with finesse, not to mention they have a great selection of body jewelry. The piercing professionals are precise, Thank you Inksmiths. read more

Would highly recommend for kids piercing. Professional, kid friendly, sanitary. Wonderful procedures and education. Make kids feel comfortable. Denise talked our daughter through the process, let her ask questions took her time. They also do tandem piercing - both ears at the same time which is a big bonus. read more

Terrible experience. I was overcharged and the jewelry is cheap. I ended up taking my piercing out because it was way to small for the part of my ear that she pierced and she did a horrible job. I tried speaking to the owner and all she did was defend her business with absolutely terrible customer service. I do not recommend. read more

I was beyond impressed with Denise's Little Lobes program for ear piercing young kids. She pierced my daughter's ears and I was blown away by her professionalism, respect for my child, focus on concent, and just overall skill. It seems like everyone in Boulder County is getting their kids ears pierced by Denise and I can see why. She's the best. read more

recently I went to a new place to get piercings, the piercer told me my helix was pierced wrong. I got my helix and nose done at this place years ago. The new place I went to, proceeded to tell me that it was pierced at an angle, (i didn't sleep on that side when I first got it done). All these years and I didn't know my helix was pierced WRONG. And it is very low she didn't do it at the place I wanted to be at. Anywho, about my nose piercing I also didn't have the best experience... it ALSO was pierced way too low. I will never be coming back to this place! read more

The receptionist was nice. The shop layout was not very private for the work done. A little hint, if you're gonna claim to be a good spot for kids to safely get pierced, take down the pictures of the awkward piercings. Put them in a book. My nine year old didn't need to see a dude with nipple clamps and a pencil through his face. Just save the trip and go to Ibis in Boulder. read more

Lost the post for my piercing, and needed a replacement ASAP. I emailed, and Denice answered. Within 30 minutes, I had a new post! I drove over, she had the same style and gauge that I had, and popped it right in. Good-sized post, nice and quick. Thanks Denice :) read more

My husband and I have both gotten all of our tattoos, including both of our firsts, by Kevin @ Inksmith and couldn't be happier! Very clean, professional and friendly. When I first came in, I had a drawing of all of the things I had wanted in my tattoo but had no idea how to get it all to fit together. He got it all to mesh together perfectly in a way I had never even thought of! I have a bit more work to get done on my half-sleeve but I don't want to go see anyone else and we are now out of state, so I will be waiting until we are visiting to finish it :) read more

Kevin did an awesome job when I got my first tattoo the other night. Read my mind when coming up with a tattoo that I wanted and made it better than the one I got the idea from. I'm really impressed by his work, did a clean job, and had a great time talking about monster movies while I was getting my tattoo. Can't wait to get my next tattoo. THANKS KEVIN!!! read more
