I got a tattoo this afternoon from Matt Ziolko after walking in only to schedule an appointment. The front desk dude is pretty no BS in only the most efficient and non-offensive way. Matt and another artist overheard my friend and I talking about what we wanted and they pretty much had us in the booth 5 minutes later.
I haven't had a tattoo in a number of years and was a little nervous, but the artists there have a pretty solid bedside manner. Great Lakes tattoo was also really welcoming and clean as f***.
I spent more than I wanted to, but you get what you pay for and I am extremely happy with the results. I would wholeheartedly recommend Matt Ziolko and would / will go back when the time is ripe.

i hadn't gotten a tattoo in over 10 years. this place was fantastic. completely professional, and they actually care. walked right in, met with mike to discuss my design, and hour later (it was small this time) i was done. i am so happy with the results i will definitely go back there for the next one.

Came from out of town for a small piece and I set up my appointment HOURS before they opened (via their website)then I called at noon when they opened and no answer. The guy proceeded to tell me once I got ahold of them that they were all booked but the tattoo I wanted literally would have took 20 mins and I planned on tipping nicely. If you are coming from out of state I would not recommend this place to anyone whatsoever.

Great place. They were very friendly. I was able to walk in, give them my design, and get the tatto all today. Definitely come back when I'm ready for another one

I visited this shop for an art event and was impressed both by the art show and the tattoo art on the walls.
The event was set up well, with a good layout and helpful staff. The location is close to some good looking restaurants, so lots of food available nearby.
Worth a visit for sure!
