Iron Age has been a staple in St. Louis for well over a decade and a half, maybe even longer. I’ve been here at least 7-8 times. I am now older and won’t go anywhere else. If you looking to get a tattoo I highly recommend Miss Morgan and Iron Age.“

“OMG, I had the most incredible experience at this hidden gem of a tattoo place in St. Louis! Rae is not only a super talented artist but also the sweetest person ever. The retro vibes with vintage Pokémon toys and McDonald's happy meal toys totally won me over. And get this, they had screens at each station so I could watch my favorite shows while getting inked! Rae did an amazing job on my in memory of tattoo. It's such a beautiful and meaningful piece that I'll cherish forever. If you're looking for an amazing tattoo artist with a unique and cozy atmosphere, Rae is the one to go to. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Got a great tattoo from Ren, an apprentice with the shop. Atmosphere was clean cool and professional. It was my first tattoo and the whole experience was wonderful and fun even. Was taught how to care for the tattoo and it’s healed super well.

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“

I definitely recommend this shop!“

“The vibe in this shop is friendly and welcoming from the front desk to the artist. I had a recommendation from a friend for Kevin and that's who did my tattoo. Kevin was incredibly kind and did a wonderful job. He even touched up a previous tattoo with no additional charge. I had wonderful experience and would recommend to anyone looking for a new tattoo.“

“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.“

“I have a total of 6 tattoos and Craig has done all of them. My first tattoo Craig did over 20 years ago and it still looks fantastic. His goal is to give every client the highest quality tattoo possible and he succeeds in accomplishing this! Do your research on his years of experience and after doing so you will be confident to give him your business. He takes his work seriously and I find that comforting as should anyone looking to get permanent artwork put on their body. I have great respect for Craig and I am looking forward to having him do my next piece.“

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!“

Thank you all star tattoo!!!“
