    Butterflies!

    Absolutely wonderful experience with Jamie! It was my first time getting a tattoo and she was patient and took the time to make sure I was doing well. I'll be back for my next one!

    Got my first tattoo here by Smash. It was a fundraiser tattoo for a trans legal defense guild. Amazing.

    I met with Jamie today to have her tattoo an Areola and nipple on my reconstructed breasts from cancer I had 16 years ago before this new procedure was around.

    I'm a "frequent flyer" of Brite Idea Tattoo, so keep in mind I might be biased a bit heavily in the…read morepositive direction. The studio itself is very modern and professional, with wooden floors, comfortable seating and ample space. The walls are adorned with pieces of art by Zera Anderson (who owns the joint and tattoos). Also, it is a small business owned by a local resident of the community. Over the summer, Jodi (who owned Ink For Life, formerly down the strip) is in town doing work, which long-standing customers are happy to take advantage of, but the majority of the year Zera herself is the only acting artist. This means two things necessarily - first, there is generally a wait time between when you come in to make an appointment and when your appointment actually is; second, Zera is talented enough to warrant being the only artist working out of the studio. Of the six tattoos I have, she has done five and they are each elaborate, unique and incredible. On many occasions I have been asked to pass on "regards to my artist" on behalf of random bystanders who saw them and were impressed. If you want quality ink done, Brite Idea Tattoo is definitely worth checking out. If you don't live nearby, it would still be worthwhile to travel out to visit. I have no doubt that I will have many future inking adventures here.

    I can't believe I have not reviewed this place before! This is the gold standard of tattoo shops…read morehere in Michigan for sure. Woman owned and doing incredible work, the artists here (Zera who owns it, along with Janet and Sarah) are absolutely phenomenal and do brilliant work. Their custom pieces are miles beyond anything you could have imagined, and their beautifully created flash pieces are stunning as well. Great for first timers and those covered in ink alike, I cannot recommend this place enough. I usually see Sarah, and she is particularly good with those who are brand new and/or those who have chronic pain (like me!) and may need accommodations, extra breaks, etc.
