Went in today to get my second ever tattoo done and it was an amazing experience. I just moved here from Springfield so I wasn't sure what people recommend. Even as a walk-in, it was really fast to get with the artist (Pablo) and get it done. It was a kinda pricey, but for the quality of the work it was most definitely worth it. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who is looking to get a good tattoo with professional staff.

Easily the best tattoo shop in Columbia. It's clean, well lit, and the staff is professional. The artists do great classic Americana art, so if you're military they've got exactly what you're looking for. If you have an idea, bring in a sketch and they'll work with you. While I was there, I saw them work with people who wanted pop culture and nerdy designs too.
Best if you make an appointment and put down a deposit if you want to pick an artist's brain, walk ins are a-okay but it's barbershop rules and they're popular for a reason.
Definitely worth the time and travel.

The service was polite, but a very poor job was done on my bridge piercing, and I’m having to get it redone somewhere else. An option to meet with the piercer to see about getting it redone was offered, but no refund was available

Three friends and I went to Iron Tiger for matching tattoos. We asked for the exact same letters in the exact same font. We were told that the same artist would do all four. Instead, multiple artists did our tattoos. Therefore, they are not really matching. The font is noticeable different as well as the thickness. I'm not picky about small details, but the differences between all of our tattoos is quite noticeable and what we received is different from what we requested/what we were promised.

Got my first tattoo here today and was ripped off. Got taken advantage of because I didn’t confirm the price until after the tattoo was completed. I know this tattoo should have been between $60 and $80 but was charged $160. I even tipped $30 because I didn’t realize until after. :( It was my fault for not asking beforehand, but sad to know that is the kind of business this is. I will say I like the tattoo and the artist did a good job of calming my nerves during the process but he screwed me over because he knew he could take advantage of me. Won’t be getting any work done here again and do not recommend to anyone who cares about integrity.

I like this place, it has a bunch of nice people. One guy named Dan, really likes this band Ghost. I thought it was weird for years, but then I gave them a listen and they are pretty good. Another guy there named Jeff doesn’t like the band Ghost, but he is usually wrong about stuff. Like how to catch fish, or where babies come from.

Tyler pierced my smiley. Put the needle all the way through then pulled it out and told me he couldn’t do it. I bled everywhere as the piercing was a through and through wound. He told me to swallow my blood and that it was my fault that he couldn’t do it. I’ve had a lot of piercings done here and am always happy with Hunter or Sid but will never be letting Tyler touch me again.

My sister and I visited today and had a really good experience! Colin was our artist and he was friendly, quick, and did a great job! I was nervous about getting a tattoo on my foot because I thought it would be painful but he made us both feel really comfortable! I would go back, for sure!

My girlfriend and I went here to get our doubles and triples, respectively. The piercer used cartilage earrings on our lobes (not sure the exact gauge but around 16 is my guess). The thickness of the earrings caused a ton of swelling and pain and we waited the requisite 6 weeks to change them, which we had to do with pliers. The pain never stopped (we have both had many piercings and none of them have ever hurt like these). We took care of them as directed by the piercer and they never healed. Eventually, all of our piercings got painful, large bumps (granulomas) and we have had to take all of them out after months of pain. I don’t know why this happened or why he used such large piercings for our lobes. It was a terrible experience and a huge waste of money. Do not get your piercings done here.

I walked in dressed in a tie straight from work. I didn't expect to be taken seriously but they welcomed me like I was a regular. It was my first tattoo and they made me feel completely comfortable. Would recommend them to anyone. Will definitely be back.
