Ink Ink Tattoo & Piercing Studio

Contacted this business trying to find a new tattoo artist after moving to the area. After giving "someone" on the other end of their email a very basic tattoo design and being told "well she can't do that" and "she doesnt specialize in that" we were told to go somewhere else
Never in my life have I been to a tattoo shop that run their clients away and show absolutely zero interest in working with people.
I guess the rating of 2 properly reflects this shop. I would not waste my time here.

Booked a family ink session last minute for 6 of us. Worked directly with Devyn who was very professional and really took the time to make sure all of us got exactly what we wanted. She was very personable, professional, and did great work, even staying late to get us all done. Very impressed all the way around! Would highly recommend!

My friend and I went in to get piercings. They did great for both of our belly buttons but the eyebrow ring is not so great. They pierced it straight up and down instead of to the side, which I thought was a little strange. Now its VERY infected and has been for about 2 months but they screwed on the ball so tight that I, nor anyone else, can get it off. When I messaged them and asked about it they said it looked fine and to keep cleaning it. It just keeps getting worse. Im not sure if its because of placement, lack of hygiene or an allergic reaction. No matter the case. I still cannot get it out of my face.

I haven't gotten my work done yet, but the design is in process. Kelsey is my artist and she's been great. She contacts me regularly to update me on the progress. Very attentive. I will leave a review on the actual work once it is complete; along with a photo.
Most of these reviews are completely unhelpful, as they don't reflect the work, but instead, are complaints by locals regarding apparent statements made about the town during the premier of Tattoo Girls. If the reviews ARE regarding the work, there are no photos to back up the statements (negative or positive). When reviewing a service, generally you review the service, not the content of a TV show. How is anyone supposed to know how to choose a place to get permanent body art based on butt hurt reviews about how a person may feel about the area in which she grew up. That has NOTHING to do with the quality of work.
I gave 5 stars because, as I stated above, my artist has been very attentive during the design process; more so than artists I've worked with in the past - leaving you hanging for months, with your money in hand, despite attempts to make contact to check on progress. So far so good.

Most definitely do not recommend Kristen. Scheduled an appointment over a month in advance and multiple emails back & forth regarding a tattoo. The day arrives for appointment and she takes the day off. She transferred our appointment to another artist and did not provide details. The artist she transferred appointment to was awesome and honest that she did not feel comfortable in completing this type of work with the time allotted.

Kristen's next available appointment if we wanted to reschedule is not until September. We did not reschedule with her due to same situation may occur, she is unprofessional, unreliable, and showed no respect to us as clients.

So, long story short, we waited over a month to be refunded our deposit and sent home without any work done. No one at the shop bothered to call us to let us know that our appointment had been transferred and if we were comfortable with another artist doing the work.

I just moved to Springfield and this experience was just awful and I hope is not what is typical of local businesses here.

Kelsey does amazing work. Got my very 1st tattoo and love it so much. Kelsey was fanatics to pull together what I wanted and made me feel at ease the whole time. Im so happy I picked her ☺ Ink Ink is a Great place to get a tattoo. 5 stars from me. And should be 5 stars from everyone who has ever been . I can't wait to go back again. And all the ladies were friendly. Thank you Kelsey for the Beautiful art work. ☺

Literally love the ink ink girls and the show! Wish they had another season cause I loved it! Also right after I watched the show I drove to Springfield and got one done by Nikki. Thought it would be cool since we had the same name. I love my tattoo and everything about it. She was truly amazing and all the girls were super sweet! My lion head tattoo she did is so bad ass and everything I wanted! This is the only tattoo place I will be going to from now on! The 3 hour drive is worth it! It also pisses me off that people have such rude things to say about these girls.They rock! Highly recommend to everyone!

100% would recommend Ink Ink to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing. Mariah did my tattoo and she was so sweet and my tattoo looks incredible. All the women in the shop were very kind and personable. I love the fact that the shop is woman owned and operated. I will be back for my future tattoos. Thank you ladies!! 5 stars all around!!

Just got a tattoo here done by Nikki! I drove 9 hours to come get this tattoo specifically done by her and it was the best experience ever! The other staff and Nikki were super fun and personable! My tattoo looked amazing and is everything I wanted!! The shop is super nice and is such an awesome environment! I would recommend anyone who wants a tattoo while in Springfield to come here and get one done! I will definitely be back when I come through Springfield again!

Nikki was awesome to work with! Super patient and just reallybeasy to talk with. Will definantly come to her for any other tattoos I get.
