My tattoo is stellar and gets me tons of compliments. I’m already coming back for a second. Highly recommend this shop and Ren’s artwork“

“Pastel Devil is THE place to get tattooed! Amelia's art speaks for itself in the photos attached. Her line work is impeccable (even when my leg involuntarily twitches). When I came to Amelia I had multiple tattoos all over my arm telling different stories from my younger years. She turned the chaos into a beautiful cohesive arm piece that I am now proud to display. My left leg was a blank slate always covered by leggings. The detail in this piece is phenomenal and I am always wearing shorts or dresses now to show it off. Amelia really listened to what I wanted to portray and the results exceeded my expectations. She captured my sidekick, Prunella, perfectly! I attached a photo of her for reference. I love my time in the shop with Amelia, the vibes are always great, tunes are always on point, and the conversations we've had throughout my hours spent with her will stick with me forever. Amelia is definitely worth the wait ya'll!“

“Outstanding shop with even better people! Found this place through people who had work done here. Scheduled my tattoo through Chris Sabatino (owner). This dude is a true professional who takes great pride in his work/business. In my option he is the best artist in STL! Clean shop with a great vibe. Music selections is a plus!! Finished my 4th session today and I am blown away. I will only come back to this place for future work. The other artists in the shop are also outstanding so you will not go wrong. Plan a ways out as they stay busy ☝️ Pleased customer. Thanks again Art Monster!!“

“Steven is the best! This was my first tattoo experience here in the city, and it was absolutely amazing!
I inquired on the website, and got a response within 48 hours via text message. Did the consult with Steven that way, and made an appointment! When I got there, Steven immediately greeted me, and he was so pleasant and kind! He made sure the tattoo was what I wanted and would match style wise with other tattoos on my arm, didn't want to clash.
He made sure it was perfect before I left. I will definitely be going through him when it is time for next tattoo!

Requested style: Outline/shading. Modern

Specialties: Traditional tattoos, mostly. Always check to see if they can! Great place

Cleanliness: Very clean and sterile

Stylist: Steven Lee Andrews“

He always considers my comfort and wants me to have a great time! Amanda is also amazing, and lovely to talk to. She makes booking super easy.The shop is clean and very well maintained. All the other artists I've met there are great - super friendly and genuinely interested in your tattoo.“

“Got a spontaneous matching tattoo with my cousin and we chose this location because of the amazing reviews - and they deserve every positive review they got! Everyone I spoke to was incredibly friendly. Our tattoo artist, Phil, was incredibly kind and made my cousins first tattoo a lot less scary. He provided excellent care instructions and honestly made the tattoo look better than the picture we showed him. Thank you!“

“I got both of my eyebrows pierced by Bri here and she was so funny and sweet the whole time. She was very attentive to any and all of my needs and was considerate of my preferences. Over all a immensely great experience. Would absolutely recommend to my friends looking for a professional and friendly place to get body modifications.

Specialties: They offer almost every kind of body mod known to me, tattoos, piercings, teeth gems, and more.

Cleanliness: It was so pristine in there that I was admittedly shocked. Everything was beyond sterile and it smelled lovely in there.

Stylist: Her name was Bri and she was the head piercer at Arch Nemesis Tattoo and Piercings. She did a phenomenal job and was attentive to my needs.“

“Got some work done by David. Dude was super cool and the atmosphere of the place was really relaxing and friendly. Definitely will be back.“

“John John did my tattoos and I am extremely happy with them. He was very professional and he made me laugh which made me relax. I highly recommend it and I will be back. The facility was very clean. All tools were cleaned and sanitized.

Requested style: I got a black rose on my side. John John drew it and then tattooed it. I also got a feather to cover up an old tattoo. John John free styled that one. 100% satisfied.“

“Walked in on a whim because I'm a tattoo fanatic. Talked to an artist named Bowser outside, and we talked for a few minutes before he invited me inside to check them out. Awesome place, with tons of art on the wall. Best thing besides the artist, is the French Bulldog named Benny Blanco! Handsome little fella greets most at the door. They handed my tattoo to one of the artist, but since I felt in instant vibe with Bowser, I requested him to do it. It was not a problem, and no one took it as being disrespectful. . Bowser brought me the first draft of the tattoo, and we made a couple adjustments, then BOOM! We had it! Great job, great touch/pressure, great personality. I'll be back for another.“

“I’ve been going to Black Pearl for over 20 years & have always received top notch service. As soon my kids were of age, the 1st thing they wanted was a tattoo & everyone made sure it was something meaningful that they wouldn’t regret later in life. Anytime anyone wants a recommendation I send them there because it’s about more than making a profit, they truly care about the customer.“

“Mikey is amazing! He fixed my old tat and the experience was great. My first tat somewhere else was painful when he fixed it and enhanced it didn’t hurt.“
