Carmel Tattoo INK

I absolutely adore Ellie! She did a great job piercing my nose. She's so sweet and I will definitely be back to see her soon!
I went with a friend and her 5 year old got her ears pierced and Ellie was so kind and compassionate with her when she was scared.
It was an excellent experience!

I had looked online at a whole bunch of places and artist portfolios all over the Indy area when I finally decided on here because of the stellar rating. I really liked Micheal Hockman's animal work online, so I requested him and was able to set up a consultation just a month out, and then the actual tattoo appointment just another month out. If I had one complaint, I wish I could've seen the first design he came up with a little bit earlier, but we had a design that I loved before the appointment, so it's all good. This was my first tattoo, and he was gentle and started slow for me so I could get used to the needle, and then it only took an hour. He was super thorough about aftercare as well, which was appreciated. I'm extremely pleased with my piece and the service I got here and would definitely recommend!!
(If the picture looks weird at all, it's because it's still in the dry, flakey stage of healing.)

I had a great experience getting my tattoo at Carmel Tattoo Ink, perfect location with parking & restaurants etc. Adam French did an amazing job on my piece and really hit it out of the stadium. The detail and color he added is incredible and I can’t stop looking at it. Highly recommend and the shop is super clean with a really good vibe and comforting atmosphere.

Absolutely loved my experience here! I was nervous to get my ears repierced since I let them close up many years ago due to lots of infections. So, when I finally got the guts to pull the trigger, my friend recommended this place because he took his youngest daughter here to get her ears done.

Shelle was the best! She listened to my concerns about infections and took her time explaining the different types of metals that the earrings are made of. She helped me pick out these brilliant Opal earrings and made the process as painless as possible. She asked me if I was squeamish about needles and had the cutest kitty cat mirror for me to see when I was done. She was also super nice and very social. She even gave me this business card so you can check her out, but also it gives instructions for aftercare with your piercing.

On a sidenote, this place was immaculately clean. I loved the vibe they have going on and I am dying to know where I can get a dark green version of that huge couch they have in their lobby. Highly recommend this place for anyone. Definitely going to look into them for a possible tattoo or touch up soon!

I got my first tattoo today. Regis was really nice and friendly. We talked pretty much the whole time. He gave very thorough instructions on how to take care of my tattoo. He also spent at least a half hour drawing the tattoo before we decided on what would be best for the stencil too. It looks great and the service was great as well. I will definitely consider coming back again. : )

Josh has completed two tattoos for me and I won't go to anyone else. His attention to detail and fine line work are incredible. He is an amazing artist and so patient. Can't wait to come back!

My roommate and I had a fantastic experience getting our matching rose tattoos! From the moment we received our online confirmation, the shop communicated with us every step of the way. Jaydyn did an absolutely beautiful job with our tattoos and worked with us closely so we got exactly what we needed. I will definitely be getting my tattoos from her in the future!!

Artist was Berry. He is super talented and always does a great job. Shop was super clean and very nice to be in. Every employee was super nice as well

This is my second tattoo and one that I was very unsure about getting. I was also self conscious about my birth mark on my leg and I wanted to get a tattoo that made me feel more feminine without totally covering something that was apart of me my entire life. Michael talked with me, heard all all of my desires, and created a custom piece that truly flattered me! The design is beautiful and has truly made me love my birthmark! He was so understanding about my concerns and checked on me throughout the entire healing process. He put time and detail into every part of the process for my tattoo. He was personal, professional, and truly cares about every piece he does. If you are unsure about a tattoo, design, or just need some awesome ideas from an amazing artist, go see Michael!!!

Came in with a vision to get both ears stack pierced and Taylor took on the job. She heard my vision and made all my dreams come true. I'm so in love with my new piercings. She did such an amazing job. I can't wait to show them off on my wedding day.
