Been a customer of Iron Tiger since 2011 & I have had nothing but good experiences. Staff have consistently been professional, friendly & courteous w/me when arriving for appointments. Every time I go to Iron Tiger I love the environment. Music is playing, artwork is displayed and there are individual rooms set up for each artist for customer privacy and comfort.
Not once have I felt that I was treated differently because of my ethnicity/culture. Staff & customers are all diverse & I have not witnessed staff treat anyone differently because of this.
Gabe Garcia (owner) has been phenomenal to work with. He has done the majority of my work (a full sleeve & 1/2 sleeve) and I always receive compliments on my tattoo work. He has been willing to accommodate schedule & art design. During my sessions I've been able to interact w/other artists/piercers and they make it a fun/relaxing environment to get a tattoo in. I would get work done by anyone who is employed/guest artist at Iron Tiger as they are all talented. I would also recommend this shop to anyone who wants to get their first tattoo or who has been getting tattoos for a while.

Iron Tiger is Columbiaβs finest tattoo shop. The atmosphere is amazing here. The shop is comfortable and uniquely decorated. The staff is professional and extremely helpful. I came here after my husband had two half sleeves and a back piece done here(by Gabe). I came in and had my back done over the summer 2011. Everyone I have encountered here treated me with respect and integrity. I had scheduled appointments with Gabe (owner) always on time and made sure I was comfortable through my whole experience. I allowed him design my back piece, and his creative abilities blew my mind; it is truly gorgeous. He took into account my body type and keeping the tattoo very feminine yet fierce looking. After the entire tattoo was done we were invited to the customer appreciation parties that Iron Tiger throws and we have grown to love the entire shop and all of itβs staff. Since then I have had two piercings and Randy was awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you Iron Tiger, you embody everything a local business should in Mid-MO. Keep on keepinβ on!

Iron Tiger is the best place to get tattoos in central Missouri. These artists are the best around. If you're looking for an American Traditional shop, this is definitely the place to go. They can also do anything you ask for. I got my first tattoo there by Gabe Garcia, the owner, and he worked with me on a design until we perfected it. I've been tattooed by Dan Ryan 3 times there and his work is awesome. He will work with you and he really knows his stuff. I definitely recommend asking for Dan. He can do it all. My girlfriend and another friend of mine both got tattoos from Lars and they both really enjoyed their experience. The tattoos were great too. The walls are covered with art that is original by the artists, so if you see something you like, ask who did it and I'm sure they would be glad to hook you up! Anything you want done I'm sure the guys at Iron Tiger will blow it out of the water. Great place, great vibes, great dudes!

terrible experience. All of the workers I talked to acted like they did not care at all. worst attitude ever. a friend and I went and got our daths pierced. Mine went smooth piercing wise. but he gave me no warning before he did it. but my friend the ring did Not follow along. the took both out and just started trying to shove the ear ring thru the hole. it took him about 4 times to get the ring thru. my friend paid with card, which you do first. I paid with cash, you do that after the piercing. they charged her $60. once I was done he said it would be $50, I handed him $100 and he came back with $40. which is sus. they seem like theyβre in it for the money, donβt go here.

Casey turned our design into a thing of beauty. My local daughter plus other daughter who lives in Montreal, were scheduled to have simultaneous tattoos. The guy we booked with in Moberly stood us up. We found this place and are very glad we did. Casey was kind, informative, gentle and professional. Great experience. Absolutely recommend them.

Got a tat by Jake Bailey, who is also been a friend of mine for YEARS.. I've been waiting to get inked by him for a long time. I love my tattoo. It's exactly what I wanted. Jake you nailed it...it's perfect... I also got a piercing from here a while back and was happy with it as well. I will be back...

Got my first ever tattoo yesterday and had an excellent experience. Every staff member I talked to was extremely kind and helpful, and Carlos did an amazing job with the tattoo itself. I thought the price was fair with the quality of service I received. I HIGHLY recommend this place for getting any sort of tattoo!

I would rate them zero stars if I could. The tattoo artist named Sid is awful. He has a terrible attitude, is extremely rude, disrespectful, and totally unprofessional. He was drinking on the job all night. I waited two hours to be treated awful. Donβt go here unless you want terrible service.

I've had ink (Dan Ryan is great!) and a septum piercing done here and Iron Tiger has quickly become one of my favorite places to go to. Very professional people and a very clean shop with lots of personality. Prices are always very reasonable and they're up front about anything you need or want to know. I trust them 100%.
