Arch Nemesis Tattoo & Piercing

Masterful art matched with personalized service -- the result is the complete experience here. I'm not only grateful and inspired by my experience at Arch Nemesis, but I've had to keep doing it again and again. Getting a tattoo wasn't a decision I took lightly; I've been to shops on 5 continents and even when I respected what I saw, I never felt compelled to do it. It took finding an artist I could trust with a vision to create art reflective of my personal experiences and I found that at Arch Nemesis. Tattoos, piercings, and scars are very personal in nature, so success in the industry requires businesses to be both adept at their craft, and worthy of your trust. For some, the experience is causal while for others, it requires vulnerability or discretion; often there's a level of intimacy reserved for only doctors and lovers and the fact that it's less taboo now than it was decades ago hasn't changed those factors. What I found is a world-class jewel, worthy of attention in any metro area and those fortunate enough to live in St. Louis have yet another reason to be proud of their city.

The studio has a nice environment. It is wonderfully decorated and has a sense of personality due to the artists' artwork. The studio is very clean and orderly. All of the artists are very friendly and social. They will talk to the clients and make them feel welcomed. There is also a great sense of comradery between the artists, and they love to have fun with one another. I would highly recommend this tattoo studio above any other.

I had some work done by Valencia. She did a color forearm piece that's about 6 inches in height. The color is still super vibrant. Healed really quick; quicker and way better than all my other ones. Really clean shop and stations. High quality tools, equipment and products. She went the extra mile to make sure my tattoo sketch was exactly how I envisioned it and made adjustments I requested. My design definitely exceeded my expectations; she took my idea and made it simply amazing. I couldn't be any happier with my whole experience! Super cool shop, awesome talented artists, all in all great experience. I've already scheduled more work to be done.

Professional artists who care about their work and their customers. I recommend it for piercings and tattoos, but each artist has their own strengths. I came in for 2 piercings, and my artist Amanda did my piercings, but she is good with anime art as well from what I have seen. She also does really well in bold lines and colors, but there are other artists as well. They have an Instagram, facebook, and maybe a Twitter for the store if you wanted to check out everyone's art and their work if you are interested they have a website pertaining to whatever you want done.

Love this place! I have gotten several tattoos and piercings here, from everyone on the staff. They are professional and helpful. Always clean. Highly recommend

Live in Denver and flew to St. Louis for the Stanley Cup parade. Have been a Blues fan for 24 years and always said if they won the Cup I would get a tattoo. Got an appointment quickly and Valencia was awesome in helping me come up with a design. She made me feel very comfortable and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. The tattoo is healing great and there is hardly any redness after only 6 days. Highly recommend Valencia!!

The artists who work here are great. I’ve gotten a tattoo from Jessie and a piercing from Allen. They’re both lovely! I’ve checked out the artwork of the other employees and everyone seems incredibly talented. Would recommend this shop for sure.

Everyone here is lovely. Can't rave about them enough. Aaron is my go-to artist for pretty much everything but everyone in the shop feels like family. Aaron has done my sleeve, thighs, and collarbones. Madison did my eyebrow microblading. In my opinion you won't find a better shop in the whole damn city. I drive all the way from O'Fallon. They're worth it.

I have nothing but good things to say about Arch Nemesis and plan on going there for any more ink I get. I have gotten a couple of tattoos from Katelynn already. She does stellar work and always has flash up for grabs on her Instagram. Every artist there has an amazing portfolio and they are all worth checking out. You can get tattoos, piercings, microblading and tooth gems done at Arch Nemesis. Their environment is super clean, professional, and well decorated. And, there's friendly/hilarious conversations happening all the time. I highly recommend them if you're in the market for anything they offer. You won't be disappointed in this female owned business.

Miranda was amazing!! Very professional and humorous :) she made getting the nipples pierced seem like a cake walk! Thank you so much for the easy experience!
