His talent is forever evolving and he has quickly become Da Best Tattoo Artists around! Yes, I am related to this amazing Artist and I decided to book an appointment 3 months ago, since I was flying in to attend my cousin's wedding at the Lake of the Ozark's. How exciting! Flying in from Honolulu HI to get a custom Mitch "GERBER" tattoo done, here at Lake of the Ozark's BAD DONKEY TATTOO COMPANY! Having my nephew put his mark of excellence on me, gives me a feeling of great Pride, STRENGTH & HONOR! I arrived at the Bad Donkey Company this past Sunday, thrilled to have my nephew put his magic ink on me! It's been years since my first tattoo and I was a bit nervous but knew that Mitch was the ink master capable of taking my idea and transforming it into an epic masterpiece. One that symbolizes the Strength & Honor of our Gerber O'hana! Sitting in his chair, I was amazed and blown away buy Mitch's precise attention to detail, smooth and steady hand and professional touch. Thoughts of getting my next epic tattoo by Mitch, are already running through my head as I write part of this review, as Mitch da Red Rooster applies his ink on me. The Gerber family always knew Mitch's passion of expressing himself through his artistic drawings, would pave his way to a successful career. Mitch's transformation into a BAD DONKEY tattoo artist, is proof that you can grown up living and loving your dream! There are other talented artists here at the Bad Donkey Tattoo CO. However, I stake my name, reputation and skin on giving a FIVE STAR review to MITCH GERBER AS THE #1 BAD A$$ Tattoo Artist! FIVE EPIC STARS to Da Red Rooster Mitch Gerber & The Bad Donkey Tattoo Company! If you're looking for some ink and you want it done by Da BEST, Call ahead, way ahead - He's normally booked months in advance! (Tell 'em Don G on Yelp sent you for a special gift after your session) I'm booking my next visit in 2022 once I get back Hawaii & figure out my vacation schedule!

We were in and out in no time. Pricing was fair, minimum of $75 which is what ours cost, but I feel like that's typical. The line work was awesome and the artist did a great job. Only thing I would call out is, customer service is not exactly friendly. If you like overly sarcastic tattooers that are on the verge of disrespect, this is probably the place for you. To be honest, if I was the one getting the tattoo, I probably would have walked out, but our bachelorette was determined to get one. Also, not COVID friendly at all, FYI. I hear this is the best tattoo shop in the area, so I'm sure a more personalized experience would have been better than a walk in. But I probably won't be going out of my way to come here again.

I do live in Boston and had been told by someone here and they wouldn't do the piercing because due to the structure of the naval, it would be more of a surface piercing than the regular naval piercing and thereby would not heal correctly, like ever. The girl I spoke to at Hollywood Rebels .. nope. She was mad eager, told me to sign the form, shoot her an ID, and we were off. Piercer looked young but found out she had been doing this for over a decade. She was super friendly, very thorough and informative, and totally vibed with the fact that despite my eclectic piercings and tat, I get nervous about ten seconds before the needle thing happens. Great piercer, gentle as hell, and the place was extremely hygienic, all things super important for those seeking body modification. The girl told me to come back sometime because she likes seeing picture of her final products and I definitely will the next time I'm in the area. Final cost: $50. Super impressed. Edit: Come to think of it, I'm having a huge deja-vu moment and think I might have been at this joint a few years back to fix a piercing that had partially closed. All positive from that experience, too.
