The owners were super nice and reassuring to me as I got my very first tattoos at the age of 57! James listened to what I wanted and made some great suggestions for placement and size. I was very nervous about getting tattoos, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I had worried it would be! read more

Winterhart Studio - Tattoo Near Me - Joplin, Missouri

See all

I chose this place because it had good reviews and a couple people I talked to said they did good work. The pictures of the tattoos they've done looked really good. I went in and talked to one of the artists...can't remember his real name, but I think he said everyone calls him "Sketch". I should have been a little leary when the dude could get me in pretty much the next day. But, I scheduled an appointment a couple days out. "Sketch" said he'd work on his ideas to fix the tattoo I already had and be ready when I came in. I showed up for my appointment and he had no idea who I was or what I was there for. And, really, he was kind of a smart ass. After letting him know I had an appointment with him and reminding him what he'd agreed to do, he got up off the couch and stated it would be a minute because he had to get stuff ready. Seems like he could have had that stuff already done seeing as how I had an appointment. I didn't just walk in. Anyway, we finally got started. "Sketch" was pretty talkative and all I kept hearing was how he was going to make my tattoo look so great. A little over an hour into the deal, "Sketch" stated he was going to take a short break to "smoke a cigarette." That was okay. I needed to stand up a minute myself. When "Sketch" came back in, he reeked. I truly don't care if someone smokes pot. But don't tell me you're going to smoke a cigarette and then come back feeling no pain, smelling like a freshly ran over skunk and half high. I get it. It's a tattoo studio, but it's also a business and I was a customer. I didn't think it was very professional. Not long after this, another kid that apparently works there came in and asked "Sketch" if he could borrow "Sketch's" tray. Thirty seconds later, the kid came back to ask if he could borrow "Sketch's" lighter. I started wondering if I was at a tattoo shop or a head shop. Again, recreational Marijuana is legal. That's all fine and good. But I was a customer trying to do business. Not very professional. Back to the actual tattoo and "Sketch's" quality of work. The tattoo I was wanting fixed was bad and I totally understand it wasn't the easiest thing to work on. Yes, after "Sketch" was done, it did look better. However, after spending two hours hearing how great he was going to make it look, I was kind of disappointed. Part of the outline was missing and a couple of spots are blown out. Maybe if I'd had the owner of the shop or the lady artist there work on me, it would have been better. I know now I wouldn't trust "Sketch" to work on me again. I'd give the place 2 to 2 1/2 stars. read more

I got my tattoo done yesterday and to be honest I didn't know how it was going to turn out. It involved a lot of realism and very detailed work. I'm pleased to say the James Hardy has out done himself. My tattoo turned out amazing! His shop is by far the cleanest and most organized I've been in. The customer service before the appointment was great. Usually he would respond within the hour, unlike some other artists in town. James Hardy is truly a special tattoo artist, and anyone would be lucky to have a piece of his art on your body. Thank you, James! read more
