I have been looking for a shop to call home for years and I have finally found that place with…read moreBellaire Tattoo. To begin with, the owner Brent is a really great person. He cares about his customers, his art, and his reputation. He continuously goes above and beyond to make me and other people feel welcome and important. He takes the time to discuss designs, placement, and size before he commits to a piece. He is willing to help design pieces and always gives honest and knowledgeable feedback. Oh, and his work is amazing! From his tight line work to his knack for shading, there isn't a piece that he can't do well! He has many years of experience and it shows in his work. As far as the shop itself, it is very clean and full of interesting and authentic artwork and decorations. He takes pride in his space and it is a comfortable place to be. I fully recommend that you schedule an appointment with him if you are in the area, just make it a month in advance because he is often booked solid. This is a testament to his abilities and customer service. I have had 5 pieces done by him and will never go anywhere else for as long as he is available.

When I happened to notice some great tattoos on one of the employees at the parasailing place, she pointed me to Mackinaw Tattoo. I know getting a tattoo while in a vacation spot like Mackinaw may not be at the top of your list, but don't miss making this place a stop. Won is a boss! Quiet and unassuming- but make no mistake that he has amazing talent. I was so delighted he was able to fit me in and get my little ghost done. It looks so great! The staff were friendly and welcoming, even setting up my daughter with a temporary tattoo. My only regret is that I live six hours away and can't be hyping and recommending Won to absolutely everyone I know!!

I was in town for my family vacay and have always wanted the little Oberon sun as a salute to MI…read moresince I no longer live in state. Submitted a request here and they were able to get me in same day, sweet!! I made it pretty clear I was looking for a fine line, simple outlined tattoo, both on the online submission and on the phone. The dude who tattooed me started by bringing out a few different sizes, I asked if we could do a size in between the first two prints. He seemed confused by this, left, came back, and asked how the next print looked and if that size worked. I'm 98% sure it was the exact same print out as before, he just didn't know how to resize it the paper had the same creases and it looked identical to the first print off, so I should've taken that as a red flag right away. But I wanted to get the tattoo so agreed on one of the sizes. Once we get into the tattoo, he stops about halfway and asks if I'd like any shading. I said no, I just want the outline exactly like we talked about. He says okay, and continues to shade the inside of the sun anyway. I didn't realize until I got home and took the saniderm off how bad the line work was. Yes, the Oberon sun is supposed to be squiggly and imperfect. However, my line work was bleeding and inconsistent. He claimed the bleeding lines would "fade" but they did not. Along with this, the face all blended together. It's hard to tell which feature is which. It looks like smudged marker to be honest. I think the man who tattooed me may have been an apprentice (but charged as if he were a seasoned artist at $150/hr), but I wish they would have been honest with their ability. I cried about the tattoo I was so excited for and have plans to remove it since it makes me sick to think about it. I reached out and was told that they'd be happy to do a touch up, but haven't heard a peep since then, even when I followed up again asking just for a refund because they even agreed it was bad.... Just wanting to share my experience for anyone else so they can go anywhere but here. Below is what I wanted vs what I got! Embarrassing.
