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!

We initially loved what we got done but during healing both of our tattoos lost color in several…read morespots for no reason. The artist wasn't prepared for our appointment at all. 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!

I had Hannah doing my tattoos and her fine line work is amazing, my tattoos were both fine line and turned out perfect, and when I felt like I was going to faint Hannah offered me a break, a sugar pill, and some water to gather myself again and it worked. They were so patient with me and kind. I will 100% go back here when I want another tattoo.

I've been going to see Boris Gustav for my tattoos since he was in Grand Ledge! Now that he's at…read moreReo Town, I've followed him there along with recommending his work to my boyfriend. We've both been in his chair 4 times now. He does phenomenal work and is very easy going! I promise you'll be thoroughly entertained and your face will hurt from laughing/smiling so much while getting tattooed by him! I've had 4 different pieces done by him. He is very versatile and creative with his work! I'll continue getting work done by Boris and recommending his work for years to come!

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.

I went here at the suggestion of a friend. She said there was only one male tattoo artist, the…read moreowner and he had done a large piece for her that I admired. My sister-in-law accompanied me as I was paying for her first tattoo for her birthday. Being it was my first tattoo, I was quite nervous. I was a little confused when there were two male artists working but I had requested the owner so it didn't matter. Or so I thought! He pushed us off on his "friend" and new artist Conrad, whom he assured us was only new to the shop, not tattooing. I assumed he would only hire a professional. Unfortunately, assuming was a terrible mistake! The guy seemed a little shaky and in a rush. I shouldn't have stayed when I noticed him acting a little spacey or after his extended pre-appointment bathroom break but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. I was irritated when he refused to put our husbands initials in the hearts as we requested but he said he thought it would bring the shop bad karma or some paranoid mess like that so how could I demand it? My mistake, this is something I am paying to have on my body for life so it should have been done as I requested but I didn't assert myself. When my sister-in-law was done, we didn't love it but he assured us it would look better when it healed. I should have left then. I can't say whether it was because I prepaid or if it was a sense of duty since I had chosen this mistake and she went first but I went ahead with it. Conrad was nodding by this point so it should be no shock that mine turned out as horrible as hers but mine ended up slightly worse in that my design had atrociously executed shading that hers lacked. The lettering and hearts he downloaded shouldn't have been that difficult. I paid almost $200 and tipped the minimum 10% I give any service person, even if they suck, because I feel it's mandatory. He didn't even thank me. I continue to apologize to my sister-in-law because they are fully healed but no better. Fuzzy lines, awful shading, uneven lettering and not even completed as we requested. I'm truly ashamed of what looks like a homemade junkie mess. It's completely my fault but horrifying anyway. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!
