I love this shop! I've been here a few times before. Yesterday I had an appointment with Omar. It was the best experience ever.
The staff is so friendly, down to earth, and welcoming.
My Dad decided to have his first piece done and, after his session, he said he will never go anywhere else.
Trader Bob's, you've had my patronage for years, but yesterday, you won over a new customer, for life.
Thank you, Omar.

Went to see Bill/William for my second tattoo by him and couldn't have been happier. Not only is he a great person, but he's an amazing artist. I couldn't ask for a better one and I will always come in from Chicago to get my work done by him. Best guy in St. Louis, hands down!

I usually get all my work at All Star, but Ryan Brown relocated here. He's done most of my work throughout the years. He is a top notch artist and a great guy. Trader Bob's is now where I go for my work. Thanks Ryan!! Go Chiefs!

Nice, like beyond polite and so so pleasant. Legitimate high quality customer service. I’d drive by a lot of tattoo shops to get to Trader Bobs. Price is a little higher than some others, but you get what you pay for. Detail and line work is phenomenal and it appears each artist takes plenty of time to make sure your body art is perfect. Plan to spend a bit longer than usual there, but it’s a small price to pay for such lovely work. Shop and bathroom were spotless. Street parking wasn’t terrible. Overall a wonderful shop that deserves all the business.

Trader’s Bob was a total joy the entire time! Matt was my tattoo artist and we had a blast the entire time. His work is top notch, he is super friendly, made me feel comfortable and had me laughing the whole time. Taylor the receptionist was an absolute sweet heart and right as I walked in I knew it was a great shop. Not to mention the shop’s Covid protocols were still very much in place and made it safe for everyone in the building. Being from out of town that made me feel good. Anytime I’m back in St. Louis I’ll get a tattoo at Trader Bob’s.

I have about 30 tattoos and almost all of them are from different states and artists. Trader Bobs has given me several phenomenal tattoos, the service is great, friendly and fast. I have nothing to complain about. Worth the price every time.

Love this place! My friend and I went here for a late-ish walk in and they were so welcoming. I was tattooed by John and he was so professional and so skilled. I love my tattoo! My best friend was tattooed by Matt T and hers is so beautiful as well. Highly recommend!

Classic old school street shop that offers custom designs too. St Louis' oldest tattoo shop too!
