Defiance Tattoo Company

Had my first tattoo here and it was amazing experience. Impala Pat gave me exactly what I wanted!! The pricing was fair and I loved it. Would definitely recommend.

This is the 2nd and 3rd piece I have had done by Impala Pat. I am still in shock by how well they came out. My coworkers ask where I got it and I tell ygm Defiance Tattoo Company. This place is very laid back and comfortable. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone to get ink. Impala Pat is a seasoned artist and has great vision. You will not be disappointed.

JOSH. Period!! That’s the review!!

Flew into town and took a chance on this place. Josh was professional and super patient. Would definitely come back.

I was in the shop a few days ago to have one of my tattoos touched up by Pat. I was amazed at how homey and inviting the shop felt. I had an awesome experience and my touch up was done quickly. Walking out of the shop, I was sure I'd be returning soon.

Got my septum pierced here, I forget the guys name but he explained what he would be doing and made sure I was comfortable. Didn't hurt like I expected & No issues with the piercing so far!

I would put a zero if it was allowed. DO NOT waste your time going to Defiance. This is a long review but necessary to try and explain why a zero.

We had three people wanting the same tattoo but in different places. The sweet young lady at the counter took a picture thay was rough idea to the artist and asked him if he wanted to do. He acted like we were bothering him. I could hear him and i told the girl whom was standing in doorway of artist's room that if he did not want to do that we would find someplace else. He reluctantly told her he would do and we waited to see him and discuss what we wanted and where. We never saw him.

He took about 5 minutes and drew a horrible image then had the girl bring it back out and she told us that they would just shrink or enlarge image to fit the places wanted. However the design was such that it would have been horrible. It looked like a bug with leaves instead of a lotus flower. Then the young lady asked for identification. As the young lady was asking for identifications the three of us were talking about leaving because the design was wrong and the artist seemed annoyed. After being there for over 30 minutes, we were told that becauae of the shop's location they could not do a tattoo on my daughter because she was 17.

So I asked if there was any place we could get one done. Since 2 of us were from out of town. This is when the artist finally came out. First we saw of him.

He said "there are shops up in Destin and over in Mary Ester, but none said do not go to any of them they suck."

We left and called Custom Concepts Tattoo and Design. And Terry was not only helpful he actually discussed the design and placement of tattoo and drew accordingly matching personality of the individual. He got us the form authorizing minor to get tattoo which law required and where to go to get it notarized. He also accommodated us by doing the tattoo as a walk in at the end of the day. (HIGHLY recommend Custom Concepts by the way great shop).

Defiance is awful. They do not care about the meaning of the tattoo, they are rude, and act as if requesting a tattoo when there was absolutely no other customers in the shop was an inconvience. Then to not even recommend a shop, and say dont go to any of them because they suck was just ridiculous.

I have been to many tattoo shops and the artists come out they talk to you and if it is a design that they don't do or believe somebody else could do better they will tell you who the best artist is even if not at their shop. I have never had an artist not come out when you are there and not discuss the design or location and say all of the other shops suck. Just totally unprofessional.

It all worked out because we found Terry at Custom Concept Tattoo and Desings and it was awesome!!!! So glad we did not have Defiance do our tattoos.

Josh is awesome he is so professional n good at what he does he super cool guy who loves is work will be back for more piercings

Pat did an excellent job on my tattoo at Defiance. I searched every shop in the area and they were the most professional, clean, and friendly. If I am ever in the area I will definately be returning!! I would suggest this shop and artist to anyone lookin for a great tattoo. Jazzy; dallas, tx

Impala Pat is the man! Wife and I walked in with tattoo ideas and he drew up some designs that looked good and even better when inked. He knows his colors! Solid line work with great color combination/saturation. We will be back.

great atmosphere, super clean, and committed to giving you exactly what you want. it was my first tattoo and everyone made me feel super comfortable. will be coming here my next ones too!!
