LexInk Tattoo

Jose was super friendly, and the environment was super welcoming. He was also super accommodating and got me in last minute for an impulse tattoo, which is why I hate that I can’t rate this place higher, but unfortunately the quality of the tattoo just isn’t there. The line work isn’t clean, the ink is falling out, there are a number of blowouts, the lettering is inconsistent, etc. To be fair, the design that I chose wasn’t easy, but there are certain fundamental elements of the tattoo that just aren’t executed well. The photos below are from right after and then what the tattoo looked like 2 weeks healed. There were also some definite health hazards, that in all fairness, I willingly ignored and sat for the tattoo, despite knowing better. I was lucky that I didn’t get an infection, but I definitely would risk it, and go back again. All in all, great environment, Jose was super friendly and accommodating, but there were numerous health hazards and the quality of the tattoo for the price just isn’t there.

So far, I have been AMAZED by this place. Jose is super talented and he's one of the coolest people you'll ever meet.

Got matching tattoos today with my best friend today and was totally satisfied! Great atmosphere, friendly and prices! Thank you !

Just got my second tattoo here!! Came out exactly how I wanted and quick too!!

Had a good time talking while he did a great cover up

My friend and I were walk ins, and Jose was so amazing and nice! It was my second tattoo, but my friend’s first one and he made sure she was very comfortable and kept reassuring her. He has a very light hand and his line work and detail is so impressive! I’m definitely going to be back and am recommending him and LexInk to everyone who’s interested in tattoos.

Had the best experience !! will be going for more tattoos!

I’m visiting Lexington and really wanted to get my next tattoo done and definitely found the right place! Mars did a fantastic job and was so easy going. It was well priced and turned out great. Would highly recommend.

We made appts on Tuesday this week. To have tattoos done that would have cost $1500. He was a no show. Tried calling and sending messages with no response. Not reliable. We live :45 away.

First time at lex ink tattoo I had a great time with my artist. He’s very comforting and such a great artist. Very clean. And fast. Works very professional even when other clients were being rude on the phone and I love his attitude. And everything he does. ARTIST NAME :mars. Everyone go check him out.!!

I scheduled an appointment this morning to get matching tattoos with my sister who is moving to Florida. Showed up and no one was in the shop, called a few times got rejected, texted with no response. That is bad business. Will never ever use them again. Can’t run a business like that! Very mad I wasted my time driving across town.

I had an amazing experience! The moment I walked in the door I was greeted with great hospitality by Chelsea and Jose'. Chelsea was super warming and very easy to talk too. She understood exactly what wanted and I must say her artwork is impeccably good. Definately worth the trip from Cincinnati to Lexington. Good vibes, very professional. Hands down, I will be getting my next tattoo done by Chelsea.

Me and my friends wanted to get last minute matching tattoos before our friend moves away. Chelsea was able to get us all in as walk ins and she did a fantastic job! It was a very comfortable environment and all around a great experience. I will be going back for more tattoos by her in the future. 10/10 recommend!

My mom and I went in for matching tattoos for her birthday and Chelsea did a great job! Everyone in the shop were really friendly and very talkative with me since this was my first tattoo. Definitely coming back for my birthday tattoos!

This was the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had, Jose was so chill and laid back and did amazing work 10/10 recommend and I will definitely be back!

Jose does fantastic work! Was my first tattoo and he kept me calm and it looks amazing! Got me in within 3 days of notice. Great value for a great artist. Highly recommend.

You know as someone who says they’ve been in the tattoo business for 10-12years the amount of unprofessional things that was done here was ungodly. I got a tattoo here like 2 weeks ago and the price didn’t met up with the quality I got. First I paid $200 for a very simple tattoo with the smallest bit of shading, the shading was done with a liner needle. There is a big difference in the different size needles and when doing shading the liner needle is not what you go for🤦‍♀️. He took like 30 mins to do the tattoo cause another client showed up and he obviously rushed to get to him. Oh and I had to wait a full hour before I even got to get my tattoo cause he took another client before me even tho I showed up on time. I texted the girl later that night and told her I wasn’t very happy with the tattoo, she was a lot nicer than the tattoo artist. Who got rude when I said I could understand it was probably a long day and I that he was hot, due to the building not having air conditioning yet.

My 3 daughters and I visited Jose's shop inside Greyline Station on a Sunday evening for matching tattoos. He stayed late to accommodate us and was so kind. Half of us were first-timers, but he was reassuring and made us feel comfortable.

Jose and the staff were welcoming and kins. I am 45 and this was my first tattoo. I explained my concern of having a low pain tolerance. Jose and the staff listened and told me what to expect. Guess what! I survived!! Only Minor discomfort. Jose was great! Now I have a beautiful lotus flower that will be with me from now on. Thanks Jose!

Jose did an amazing job on my tatooes and my sister's, who got her 1st tattoo at 52! The office was clean, the atmosphere was great. They made us very comfortable, and were all friendly and down to earth. We were call ins and Jose stayed late to fit us in. Thank you! I have found my new artist! Thank you to Jose and his wonderful staff. Jose did amazing artwork ! Go when you can, you will not be sorry!! J
