I love this bathroom. First and foremost, they had a little basket with ladies products in it and…read morepotpourri spray! A must! And then in the basket they also had a little plant with a cute panda figurine in it so it looks like it's climbing the little plant. The ambiance of the bathroom is homey and had so many different artworks on the walls that you can look at while you're using the bathroom. The environment of the bathroom fosters a comfortable feeling for people getting a tattoo! If you plan on getting a tattoo, don't worry about being scared of the bathroom! It's great :)

I got a tattoo from Eric Jenks of Fish Ladder Tattoo in October of 2007. There are only two artists…read morein the shop: Eric Jenks and Chris Boilore. Both of these guys used to work at Splash of Color in East Lansing and have robust portfolios. I came to Eric with only a vague idea of what I wanted and Eric drew up a GREAT design for me; it was absolutely perfect! These guys are definitely artists. I would say my tattoo was moderately priced (I believe I paid $140 + tip for about 3 hrs of work). I know someone with a lot of work by Chris and her tats are all very beautiful as well. The shop itself is quaint and clean, very welcoming. Located in Old Town Lansing. I definitely suggest checking out Fish Ladder if you are in the Lansing area!

I now have eight tattoos, six from artists at this shop and two from artists at the West location…read more I definitely recommend this place and this particular Ink & Needle location. I had good experiences at West, but I've had great experiences with the artists at East. I can personally recommend working with Ally, Dreux, or Forrester if you're looking for a piece that fits their styles (check out the shop on instagram)! Everyone I've talked to here has been friendly and communicated very well, and the shop just has a good energy. You can tell that the artists are passionate about their work, let alone talented, and that gives way to a great experience every time I'm there. I'll definitely be going back for more work here. Everyone also has lots of options for flash! They seem to be busier later in the evening, but I've never had trouble with booking an appointment not too far out if they can't take me as a walk in.

This was my first tattoo so I wasn't sure what to expect, bu the place was recommended by 3-4 people that I know. Super clean rooms and equip. I swear my tatttoo was healed in about 48 hours because it was just so well done. Highly recommend these guys. They have so much experience and a great rep. I will be going back..the adreneline rush of putting something on your body permenantly was pretty cool. Might have *sigh* another small addiction to add to the pile.....food, clothes, beer and tats. I might just be well rounded some day!

However, if I ever run into him again, I'll make sure to find a spot to let him freehand. Yep, I said it, freehand. The guy did all of my shading on his own and it was incredible. The place was professional, clean, and well-organized. The artists may look a little artsy, but they are very interested in providing the best service and experience you can imagine.

A few months ago I contacted Levi Hatch at Eclectic about my second tattoo. He responded that he…read morecould come up with something great and asked about booking a time. I responded with my availability and asked when he could get an idea of a design so that I could make sure we were on the same page. He responded with "Sorry I'm no longer interested". I was pretty bummed... I got the tattoo somewhere else, and recently was looking for another artist to add to it and make it a full sleeve. I contacted a couple of artists and included Levi, because I really did love the samples of his work that I saw. Again he said he was interested and essentially said that there was no need for a consultation, just book a date and he would draw something right there. I again gave him a week that would work for me and asked if it was possible to meet for a few minutes or talk over the phone about some design questions/ideas. Again he responded with "Sorry, I'm no longer interested". I found this very unprofessional and frustrating. I guess if you can get in with him and don't mind not having any input over the design that will be on your skin forever, he might do a great job. Or any questions about size, placement, expected number of sessions, etc...

Did some research and found this place. All the artists work looks great. I chose to work with Levi…read moreHatch. Great guy and great artist. These guys are professionals not a bunch of hacks. Be patient when you reach out to them. They are sought after and busy but they will get back to you. Be thorough in your email so they can give you an informed response. The gallery has a great vibe. Very mellow and great music. Looking forward to working with Levi on my next piece.

They were no other customers anywhere in the shop, but it took 30-40 min after our appointment time to even get us in the room. They also charge 3.75% fee for using debit and credit cards that we weren't informed of. There was no mention of it when the deposit was paid with a card. Cadz was our artist. Avoid! The other locations have poor reviews too, this company stinks!
