Duneland Studio

My wife and I both got tattoos from Steve and it was an incredible experience. I got a 7 hour tattoo and my wife an ankle bracelet her first tattoo ever and my first in 37 years. Super clean shop and Steve took the time to answer all our questions. Very professional and then the tattoos turned out to be better than we could ask for. If you want a fantastic tat and pleasant experience Duneland Studio is the place to go. Highly recommend them.

By far the best experience I’ve had at any of the tattoo shops I’ve been to! Duneland is extremely clean, and has a very welcoming, unintimidating environment. Steve was so kind, knowledgeable, and great at his craft. He was able to take my vague description of what I wanted and bring it to life. Definitely the best artist I’ve had. I definitely recommend checking them out and will be going back in the future!

I’ve been contemplating getting my first tattoo for over 20 years. I’m super picky and it just never felt “right”. Many times I’d accompany friends and family to their tattoo appointments and I never felt comfortable enough to get one myself. The shops/studios were always so intimidating with so much going on everywhere...almost over stimulating. Then the NWI Times ran an article on Duneland Studio. This place was different and I loved my first impression. I knew when I did finally decide to get some art I was going here. A few weeks later I requested an appointment and the rest is history! Justin went above and beyond and was extremely accommodating and so tolerant of my many changes! With it being my first piece he took time to educate me about the pros and cons of placement. With Justin I never felt pressured and I really appreciated that. He listened to my ideas and what he created was perfect! He did a black and gray piece I’m in love with! He’s one talented artist and I can’t wait to back for my next one!

I searched around for a long time via Instagram to find an artist I liked. Joe delivered my vision so well. He really put a lot of thought and time into preparing and presenting the idea. The shop was super clean and comfortable. Really happy with the tattoo.

Jessica was my piercer and she was amazing!! Did I almost pass out? Maybe. But she was great and quick to make sure that I was comfortable the entire time. Tip...eat before you go. It might be common sense but apparently not for me haha. The place was beautifully clean and sterile. Their staff is super nice and will make sure you are satisfied with placement before going for it. 10/10

I got one of the $60 Get-What-You-Get Tattoos. Mine was done by Christina and I really adore it. I didn't really have a set idea on where I wanted it, but Christina suggested a small spot on my ankle. I really ended up liking the placing. Set up time took a bit longer with Covid precautions but worth the safety of mind. This was my first time at Duneland and I look forward to my next trip back.

I got a tattoo this past Tuesday from Christina G. She was so nice! She is so precise about her tattoos and how she wants them to turn out. She takes her time and really cares about quality. I look forward to working with her more and going back! Also very careful about cleaning procedures!

Christina is awesome! She’s done 3 tattoos on me so far and I love all 3 of them. I definitely plan to get more work done by her in the future. She always makes sure the piece is exactly what I want and gives multiple chances to make adjustments. I’ve been tattooed by multiple different artists, and Christina is the only one I’ve ever been back to so far.

This was my first tattoo and I saw all of the good reviews of this studio and saw Joe's Instagram and knew this was an artist that would make something awesome in the style I was looking for. I was really nervous leading up to it but the whole experience was so great. The scheduling process had bumps because I booked before the pandemic but they communicated very well and were accommodating and we got it rescheduled pretty easily! When I got there they made me feel right at home and comfortable. They keep the place super clean and are really doing a lot to make sure it's a safe place during the pandemic. Joe is super fun to talk to and made me feel at ease immediately. I got a large, gorgeous snake on my arm and I love it so much! He really listened to what I wanted and made something I couldn't have envisioned but fit what I was hoping for perfectly. Also, it may just be my skin (I don't know a lot about what contributes to this) but I feel like it says a lot that afterwards it hasn't been very red for long and there was no oozing or whatnot. All in all I will definitely be back! I'd recommend this place for anyone nervous about their first tattoo and/or wants a really quality, custom piece.

I had a previous tattoo with Christina but she left and I didn’t know where she was. Literally the day after I had my tattoo done my friend told me where she was. I was very disappointed with what I got at the other place and asked if Christina could do anything to make it look better. She made it beautiful!! I’m no softy but it was a tough 4 hrs but the end result is worth it. She’s very artistic. Takes her time to get the layout the way she wants. Colorful beautiful I wish I had a before/after picture!! Thanks Duneland and Christina!
