Tattoo Shops near Kansas City

“Troy is very particular about his tattoos that he does. He takes a lot of pride in what he does. And it shows. Im doing a couple of sessions with him. My tat is going to look awesome.“

“Choosing a tattoo artist can be a very personal decision for many. So let me tell you why Justin is more than deserving of your first tattoo, next tattoo and continued tattoos.

I found Justin several years ago thanks to instagram algorithm when I was seeking a local (Kansas City) artist who specialized in handwriting. He was new in his journey as a tattoo artist. And since then, he’s come into his own.

He is kind and easy going which makes for a great appointment whether you like to nap or chat or both. I also find his pressure to be on the lighter side. He is prompt in responding to emails and covers all topics addressed and even those you might have forgotten. He’s well networked within the community and loved by numerous artists. So if your idea isn’t in his wheelhouse, he’s able to connect you with someone who can be a great fit. He’s an excellent handwriting artist and a unique watercolor artist. He knows colors so well to create a palate for your design and one that will mesh well with existing tattoos. I cannot draw and sometimes have a hard time articulating the image in my minds eye. From the beginning, Justin just has a knack for quickly knowing his clients and creating a design that is totally them and one that stays true to him as an artist. The end result has always exceeded anything I could have ever come up with.

I no longer live in the Kansas City area but love that he’s an attending artist at festivals across the US. I have not had the opportunity to visit Dear You in person but I’ve heard nothing but positive things about this studio and hope to visit one day.

I have more of his artwork on me than any other of my frequented artists.

Justin is a great human, hard worker and positively devoted to his work.“

“I got tattooed today by Luke Price and let me just say he is the BEST tattoo artist i have been to. he is incredible. i came in not knowing really what i wanted in regards to a spine tattoo and he worked with all my ideas and came up with a beautiful tattoo.
For the 2 hours i sat in his chair i never felt anxious or awkward. he is a great conversationalist and an overall fun person to work with. he didn’t cause unnecessary pain and was easily my best tattoo and the least painful despite the complexity and spot where it is. He made sure i was comfortable while getting the tattoo not caring about his own comfortability. ( i imagine hunching over somebody’s back for 2 hours is incredibly uncomfortable)
He made 2 hours, of what i imagined would be filled with pain, feel like 30 fun minutes with an old friend.
I couldn’t be happier with my piece and i highly recommend getting your tattoos done by Luke!“

“My first tattoo and it was a great first experience the work that was done on my forearm came out perfect and the quality was 100% I will be coming back to get more pieces.“

“Scott did a great job with my forearm tattoo. His line work is fantastic, and my tattoo came out even better than what I had hoped for. I highly recommend this place - nice guys, talented artists, and reasonable prices“

“Miles is amazing! I’ve been going here for years! Everyone is super friendly and nice! The place is very clean! Probably the cleanest shop I’ve been too!! The shop is old school so there’s a bunch of flash sheets on the ceilings and artists artwork on the walls! Really feels like a tattoo shop! My artist Miles Deoring has done many of my tattoos and he’s the reason I keep coming back! He does incredible work! I definitely recommend Miles!“

“My experience with Kelsey was lovely. She returned my messages in a timely manner. Her shop was clean and cozy. The outcome "eyebrows" was perfect and I've received multiple compliments. I would recommend Kelsey to anyone.“

“Sabrina did absolutely amazing! So much fun talking to and getting to know. Will definitely be rebooking again! The atmosphere was amazing.“

“The place looked closed because it was dark, but Byron let me in and asked me what I was looking for. He was calm, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. My request was pretty simple: a lavender ribbon for all cancers. He drew a sketch pretty quickly, made what little changes I suggested, and we were ready. The facility is very cool with the AC running hard, which was a relief. The body gets hot when facing extended exposure to pain. Byron was personable and talkative, not to mention incredibly talented and very gentle. New equipment was opened in front of me, written after-care instructions were provided, they only take cash but have an ATM on site INSIDE (kudos for that detail). My simple tattoo looked 3 dimensional, like a sticker by the time he was done. I am thoroughly impressed, and the price was more than reasonable. Thanks, Byron! I owe you a drink next time I'm in town. ?“

“This is it, they have an excellent and highly creative group here. Will return time and time again…. Plus, you can watch Star Wars while you’re there. It’s pretty kick butt.“

“Thomas has done my 3/4 sleeve and it is amazing! Thomas is super chill, very responsive to suggestions and ideas and his touch is top notch. I have had nothing but fantastic work done by him and I will continue to do so. 10/10 recommendation! Jerry“
