Got my first tattoo here by Stevie, she did amazing, detailed work on my shoulder. I had no problems. On the other hand, I’ve also gotten my Tragus pierced by Clayton. The skin grew over the back of it making it extremely painful(the jewelry was too short) and he told me that I must’ve not been cleaning it, although I cleaned it twice a day if not more. I’ll continue going back for Stevie, but prefer piercings at TRX.

Clean place. Experienced staff. Fast and profressional service. Note: confirm prices before getting anything done. I got a basic nose piercing. The piercing, plus the ring came out to $70. Okay, cool. Fast forward four months later, I go to get a different ring put in, and it's a whopping $77. Same kind of metal, gold. I did not expect the price to be that much for a new ring only. I could've gotten another nose piercing for that price. It seems that they charge for 1.) The piercing, 2.) The ring itself, 3.) Some kind of commision price for the artist, because the board says $30 for a basic nose piercing. Overall okay experience, but they are extremely pricey.

Nicest shop I've been in. Clean, laid back and friendly people. Molly did an excellent job on mine. Gave her room to do what she wanted and she pretty much hit the nail on the head. Highly recommend her and this place.

We had just called within a half hour of arriving. But I guess in that time the only piercer had gone home. Just disappointed they did tell is that on the phone when we were asking questions about pricing and if we need an appointment. Giving them a 2 star because I have heard good things

Me and a friend went in to get different ear piercings (I got my conch pierced and she got her double helix). The staff was very friendly and the experience was great in terms of customer service, but I was absolutely blown away when we went up to pay. The piercer, who never said his name or anything about him, never said a word about prices for the jewelry. I got a gold piece which, unbeknownst to me was astronomically more expensive than any of the other earring options. Again, the piercer never said anything with regards to this until after the piece was in my ear. I ended up paying $160 for a conch piercing, and my friend’s were about $220. I was so disappointed and astonished at the complete lack of transparency and information by the staff at Inkwell. Their prices are astronomical, especially when you expect to pay about $100 for a piercing and the bill is far more than that.

The minute you step in to Ink Well, you're laughing your booty off and having a great time. It's like hanging out with friends or family members you actually like and don't want to duct tape to the wall. They are very professional with what they do there, but you're never nervous and you never feel like just a customer. I will go to Luc every single time I want something pierced. He answered all of my questions and it was an awesome experience.

I got a tattoo in October of 2017 and was told I would get a free touch up once it heals. I was told that they do not schedule appointments for touch ups and would have to just come in when the artist is free. I have been in multiple times throughout the past year, on weekdays and weekends and taken PTO off work, to try to get my tattoo touched up since it did not turn out well but everytime I go in, the guy at the front desk says the artist is busy and to just write down my name and number and they'll call me when the artist is free but I have never received a call and they still refused to let me schedule an appointment after coming up there multiple times. It is extremely frustrating to drive all the way from STL to Fairview multiple times to be brushed off, especially since I paid $400.00 for the tattoo, which was overpriced especially for the terrible customer service I received. Really don't like writing bad reviews but this has been a terrible experience and I'm left with a rough looking tattoo that I'm going to have to pay again to have another shop fix.
