I had an amazing experience at Iron Brush Tattoo from start to finish! Bradli was absolutely fantastic--professional, talented, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and the final result exceeded my expectations. The shop was clean, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Iron Brush Tattoo, and if you get the chance to work with Bradli, you're in excellent hands! read more

I love Iron Brush for walk in piercings, it's quick and simple. The piercers are nice, efficient, and quick to answer any questions. The vibe of the place is like sailor pirate with a sprinkle in of goth fairies and what I would consider the "really cool aunts" of the world. For tattoos I know many who love Iron Brush. I personally am not the hugest fan of the deposit for walk ins, but the quality of the tattoos I have received or seen have been exceptional read more

I've been wanting a tattoo for several years, but for various reasons, I never got one. I finally decided to go ahead and get one. I had a "walk-in" appointment with Michaela. I trusted her immediately, especially after telling her this would be my first. We discussed three different ideas I had, and she ended up combining them beautifully. I had expected the pain; what I hadn't expected was the kindness, the sage advice (have food in your belly and drink a lot of water before you get your tat; what to expect immediately after and a few days after, etc.). The bonus was that we had plenty to talk about, so the time flew by! I'll be going back for more! read more

Iron Brush Tattoo - Tattoo - Piercing Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

This is the ONLY piercing place you should go to in the entire state of Nebraska, or country, honestly. Their stuff is wonderful and cares a lot about you as a customer. When I've had piercings done by other places (while I was on vacation) that went horribly, they were able to fix everything. I've had probably half my piercings done by them and they've all healed perfectly. The staff is more kind than any other piercing places - especially in Omaha. Cannot recommend them enough. read more

I arrived 15 minutes before opening time to get a walk-in time. When I arrived there were probably 13 people already ahead of me. I was helped fast but a return time for a tattoo didn't work so I returned two days later for a scheduled appointment. My artist, Dakk, was very nice and helpful. This was my first tattoo and I was put at ease with Dakk and the cleanliness of the place and everyone working there. I was very satisfied with the end result, and recommend this place for anyone looking for a tattoo. read more

The more tattoos I have gotten the more I have realized how absolutely horrid this shop is. Came in right at open on the dot for a walk in and was 2nd in line. We waited four hours for a walk in. Yes, four. Being second in line. Coming at open. My tint tattoo was a one single simple word. The artist pressed incredibly hard to the point that the ink spread and the line quality looked awful. Oh and my one little word ran me $110. I don't understand why this shop is so popular in Lincoln. Go to a smaller shop with better artists. Go anywhere else. This is not the place. TL;DR overpriced for bad tattoos. It's permanent. Go somewhere else. read more

I came here in October for a helix piercing! Tony was absolutely fantastic--talked me through everything, made me feel at ease, and helped me pick the best spot on my ear. I was so impressed with their COVID-19 precautions, and felt incredibly safe every step of the way. I will 100% be returning here for the rest of my future piercings. read more

Tony was absolutely amazing! I went in for a walk-in and was helped very quickly. Everybody is so talented & welcoming. Tony talked to me the whole time and made me feel so comfortable, and I am ecstatic with how my (very simple) tattoo turned out! He was so nice and I would 10/10 recommend Iron Brush!!! Please support local, they're the best! read more

Iron Brush Tattoo - Piercing Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I've had two tattoos in the last few months from here. I'll never go to another shop in Lincoln. Friendly staff, super chill & fair prices.

If I could give lower, I 100% would. Every time I go in I'm disappointed and pissed off. While the cleanliness and piercers are fantastic. I have yet to meet a tattoo artist not stuck entirely up his own asshole. One made my friend CRY and completely trashed the tattoo she wanted. They all refuse to take into account what the CUSTOMER WANTS. Of course there are stipulations to every tattoo however the pure rudeness that every single tattoo artist i have encountered there is ridiculous. This was they're last chance to have me as a customer and NEVER AGAIN. They want to tattoo what they want to tattoo and do not care about what the customer wants. If you're unsure where to get tattooed, do not go here. read more

Michaela is amazing. Very artistic with her designs, line work, shading, and knowledgeable! She's great at what she does and easy to get along with! read more

Iron Brush Tattoo - Michaela at Iron Brush. Her Insta: @gettininky - Piercing Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I'll start by saying that I live in Omaha now, but will always make the drive to Lincoln in order to come here. Iron brush has been my go-to shop for the past few years. My sister and I did a lot of research before getting our tattoos as this was her first. Literally, these are the nicest people and they know their *stuff too. Our tattooist gave us his opinion on how to style our script tattoos and it came out looking great! We ended up with a more customized and less generic looking script, which makes it more special. I've been back several times for piercings as well. Ethan wasn't the original piercer for my rook but took the time to fix the mistake the OG piecer, from a different city, made. My piercing had started to heal over the jewelry as the post was way too small. Ethan knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. He then helped extract/replace the jewelry to the correct size and since then it has healed perfectly. Ethan has helped me transition into hoops for my nose ring too. He takes his time in helping me and his opinions on which style of jewelry is best for me are spot on. I cannot stress enough how impressed I am with this place. Walking in, I'm always greeted whether or not I'm there for a tattoo or just help with a piercing. A major thing to note about Iron Brush is that besides the people, the shop itself is very welcoming; I feel comfortable walking in there by myself, which I can't say about other shops. Overall, I'm just really happy I found Iron Brush and anyone considering them, you will be too!! read more

It was my second time at Iron Brush and had a great time again. Iron Brush is the only place I've visited twice so far because I was such a fan of the artists' work there. Working with Tony and Dave was great, putting ideas on skin, and I'll happily be back again if not just for some good conversation while getting great ink. read more

Iron Brush Tattoo is certainly one business in Lincoln that goes beyond expectation and does not disappoint. I called very last minute one evening just to see what was open and got in the next night with a consultation. The artist I met with said he wasn't 100% comfortable with drawing my complex design on my body, and I GREATLY appreciated their honesty! Instead, with some stroke of profound luck, I got in with Tyson (who owns the shop and his portfolio is amazing -- check it out on their website) the next day because he had a cancellation, which to be fair, he is so good that he usually books out months in advance. I'm still in shock how I was that lucky. In summary, even though I wasn't expecting the whole process to get done that quick, Iron Brush made my experience with them a top priority and every single person I interacted with there was so amiable, kind, and fun to talk to. You can tell not only does every single staff member there love what they do, but it is blatantly obvious they love working at this specific place. I would give 10 stars if yelp would let me! read more

Fantastic experience. Super clean, safe environment. Ethan was very helpful in explaining everything and did an excellent job. 100% recommend! read more

Absolutely amazing shop! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable and friendly! I've gone in for two walk-in tattoo appointments on Saturday's and have never been disappointed. A pleasant greeting, a clean and sterile environment.. honestly one of the best places in town! Would definitely recommend! read more

Horrible horrible owner. I have been waiting over a month to go to this consult tomorrow and just found out today they decided to cancel it without letting me know. I pleaded with him and told him I have no problems with the shop and he refused me business. Needs to learn customer service and how to take corrective criticism, as well as accountability, for both him and his workers, clearly. read more

I love this shop. I got my nose pierced here and just got my first tattoo there today. Everyone who works there I've interacted with is really polite. The artists are talented. The artist who did my tattoo (Ann) was so sweet and did a really good job and I really like that she made suggestions to make the idea I had better . It does help to keep in my they only take cash but there is an ATM in the shop. Their prices are high (my Tattoo was $70 and my nose piercing was $45) but in my opinion it's honestly worth it . Would recommend. read more

My first tattoo in Lincoln and I was absolutely thrilled. The artists were focused, Chris (customer management) was super friendly and organized and the energy was mesmerizing. Maxwell did my tattoo and I was very pleased with the result! Some of the other artwork I saw was really beautiful and they are passionate about making each of their clients vision come to light! I highly recommend this place. They are cash only but they have an ATM ($2.50 fee) that you can grab up to $400 Highly recommend!!! read more

I got a piercing done here the staff was very kind and nice. But the piercer put too small of a earring on. My skin was very swollen too the point the jewelry was stuck in my ear. read more

Iron Brush is the only place I will go for tattoos. I have 4. I've always been treated respectfully. I was in recently with my son. We both got tattoos. It is my son's first tattoo. Kevin is amazing! He made sure my son was comfortable and understood all parts of his tattoo. He is very excited about his tattoo. I got a memorial tattoo for my dad. I ended up in tears just thinking about my dad and how much my tattoo means to me. Kevin was very compassionate. He asked if I needed a minute. That meant so much to me. Everyone in the shop is awesome! They very helpful. I always recommend Iron Brush. read more

Really nice place. Walk ins are fast and staff is really friendly and helpful. Definitely gonna stay here for my tattoos to come. Little bit pricey but really worth it. Highly recommended. read more

Always a great experience when I go to Iron Brush. Before moving to Georgia, I came here for all my tattoos. While in Nebraska for a visit, I popped in for a tragus piercing and it was, as always, a perfect experience. Ethan gave a great consult prior to the piercing to go over jewelry options and aftercare. Followed up with a review of aftercare instructions when we were done. Very clean and professional while performing the actual piercing. I will always recommend Iron Brush!! read more

Got my nose pierced by Tony, he was so nice and made me feel comfortable with everything. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I came here to get my first tattoo today after wanting one for awhile, I finally got the guts to do it. I drove in from Grand Island and came in for a walk-in. We waited about 2 hours but we came to sign in and then went to the mall, so it definitely went by quickly. All of the staff was absolutely wonderful and you can tell they all love what they do. Tony was my artist and he took what I wanted and ran with it. He did an amazing job and made my idea more beautiful than I ever could imagined myself. He was so personable and made me feel so comfortable. I was a little nervous but he helped me understand what he was doing and that it wouldn't hurt. He was so quick and did an amazing job. So amazing that I made an appointment for another to get mother / daughter tattoos with my mom! read more

I came in so excited for my doubles lobe piercings! My piercer (I forgot his name) was extremely friendly and talked me through the process. However, it's been over a year since I got them done, and they are still not healed. I followed the proper care routine as instructed in the shop to a tee. My piercings are always tender, visibly irritated and red, and this is how they've been ever since I got them pierced in the first place. My $20 piercings from Claire's 10+ years ago healed quicker and without complication compared to the $80 ones I got here. I'm not sure if it's the metal they used or sanitation issues, but it's been a very disappointing experience. I even had to take one out and let it close. Will get it re-pierced in the future at a different shop. read more

Love working with Tony on all my piercings!! He's incredibly kind and walks you through the process and all the things you need to know about the procedure which usually calms my nerves. This dude deserves a raise!! read more

I absolutely love this place and everyone in it! I am currently working on a full sleeve. There are so many different personalities that you could chose who "fits" your vision! They take their time setting up and making sure that each client is safe and well taken care of. It is always clean and everything is noticeably stocked and ready for each client. Do your research, and go with your gut, I did and I have never been happier. read more

Great experience. I had my tragus pierced by Tony Demma. I am very particular having a long career in surgery management. Tony was very professional and highly skilled. His technique was excellent. His pre procedure and post procedure instructions were excellent. Highly recommend. Thanks! read more

Had my infinity tattoo done by Derek at iron brush. It was my first tattoo an Derek had a very knowledgable and extremely professional attitude. The inspiration photo I took in and the tattoo I got were different. Inspiration tattoo looked like shit compared to what Derek gave me. He did a lot of detail an extras on a simple concept because I sat well despite it being on my foot and because his skills surpassed what I originally had in mind and now I'm so pleased. I'm honestly considering going back to him for a back piece an letting him run wild with a concept because it will be amazing and skilled. My tattooed friends all gave me a lot of compliments on the line work and shading. My foot was done in 15 minutes, and worth it. read more

My wife went in to get a simple hand drawn tattoo done. The artist originally argued with the style wanting to add his own flair to the piece (it was hand drawn stick figure by her friend, no changes needed). The artist then pressed the needle hard into her wrist and also her friend's wrist, they both said it felt vindictive in nature because they wanted their own drawings. The tattoo itself was sloppily done and color was out of the lines... it seems that would be simple not to do.. My wife complained on Facebook to have the post deleted then they said they would fix it the next time she was in town. She came in almost 2 years later as we were passing through the town. She got the same artist with the same harsh treatment... and he rushed the fixes and messed up the writing... honestly I would have a talk with Brian about how he treats customers, or take him off of the walk in list... She has a full back piece (neck to butt), and a piece on her ribs, she knows how getting a tattoo should feel. She is still in pain almost a week later. Unacceptable from the most recommended place in town, the artist does good work.. apparently only in his style. read more

My brother and I went to Iron Brush as walk ins yesterday for our first tattoos and were thrilled with the service we got. First impression of the shop was that it was very nice and clean. The guy at the counter was very welcoming and got our paperwork done quickly. My brother's artist was Tony and mine was Nate, both of which were very nice and made sure we were comfortable knowing we had never been tattooed before. They gave us exactly what we asked for (script for my brother and my dog's paw print for me) and we couldn't be happier with our tattoos. Thank you Iron Brush for making our first tattoo experience wonderful! I will definitely be going back to Nate for my next one! read more

I had an amazing experience. Tony was my piercer, my roommate recommended him to me and I recommend him to anyone who is looking to get pierced. Tony is really funny and makes the atmosphere less tense, the piercings were virtually painless and extremely quick. If I had to do it all over again I'd still choose Iron Brush and Tony. read more

I got my nipples done here! I called around to a lot of other shops and they have the best deals! They don't charge you for the piercing and jewelry individually. I love this place. I'll get all my piercings done here. read more

Iron brush really has one of the cleanest and nicest shops I've ever been! Greetings by friendly faces throughout. I was a lucky walk-in. The tattoo Artist that help me was Ann... could not be happier, what a great eye for art. If your a traveler like me or live right here in town and have the need for quality work. Don't miss out on this place. read more

I always look forward to my appointments at Iron Brush! The staff is friendly, talented, knowledgeable, and always accommodating (especially since I live out of town). The studio is clean and there's a lot of flash to choose from if you're not sure of what tattoo you want. I've had Dave do my last three tattoos and am really happy with them. Unlike some artists I've been to, he actually talks during your session and makes me feel at ease. It's safe to say I won't go anywhere else for my future tattoos!!! read more

This place was very friendly and very clean. One of the bigger tattoo places I've seen which lets them take a lot of clients but they are not impersonal at all. I went in as a walk in with a few friends to get piercings and actually fainted at the counter afterwords. Tony was kind and caught me on my way down and someone went and bought me a soda. Very caring people for such a large shop. Love all of the flash art they have on the walls definitely a unique style! read more

Extremely disappointed with the service I received at iron brush. I went for a consultation and explained exactly what I wanted. I was told yes, and was given a price. We scheduled my appointments and I paid a deposit to save the slots. My first issue is....my artist and I decided on dot shading, and then she shaded my tattoo with regular shading. My second issue is...she told me it would take two sessions to complete my tattoo and that it would be $370. She ended up not completing the tattoo in two sessions and had me schedule a third session. The way she described the situation was that the third session would be charge free since she underestimated how long it would take her to complete it. I was then charged $260 extra dollars for the third session, so the tattoo I was told would cost $370 ended up being $630. And on top of that my tattoo was never featured on either her or the iron brush website. I heard many bad things about iron brush but decided to go anyway because I loved my artists work, my tattoo is beautiful but it was not what I wanted and it was far more expensive than I was anticipating. Wish I had a different experience. read more
