SLC Ink Tattoo: Salt Lake City, Utah

I got a tattoo here 2 years ago, but now is as good as any to leave a review. Allie B. tattooed my mom’s signature on my arm and did it with incredible efficiency, professionalism, and accuracy. I highly recommend her, but she has moved onto another shop.

The staff was all pretty friendly, but the guy that owns it (Jake) is pretty awful. He creates fake accounts to try to hurt other businesses. He is very naive and childlike when interacting with clientele (look at literally any negative review).

I would highly advise against putting money into this shop with such an unethical guy running the place. Reminds me of how boys behaved in junior high, unfortunately. Best of luck.

I really enjoyed my experience here! I got my first tattoo here with Jordii and he made it non-stressful and easy; he is an amazing artist. The receptionist makes sure that you happy with what you want and is also really funny. Overall SLC Ink Tattoo is an amazing spot and if you're tatted up or just getting your first one, I fully recommend this place! And my second time was also amazing. My rose looks really good! They have the best line up of artists.

I am so upset with Jaylin and the lack of professionalism, I booked my appointment 3 weeks in advance because I am leaving the country, my tattoo was simple but meaningful to represent my grandma’s life (she is is dying from cancer) and I wanted her to see it before she dies, however my appointment got canceled 1 hour prior to the actual appointment, the excuse was “she was running behind”, I understand that things happen but there was no effort on her part to accommodate and respect my appointment.
She refused to have a face to face consultation (I even booked that weeks prior too) she said “well your tattoo is pretty straight forward”, so overall she wasn’t respectful of my time or what I wanted from a tattoo artist.
It’s sad to think that I’m giving a bad review over something I didn’t get because my time wasn’t respected, because my tattoo wasn’t expensive enough ($300) for her to accommodate her schedule.
I will not recommend this shop and I hope they refund me my deposit as they have said because this was in no way my fault.

My pals and I came down from Boise for a birthday weekend and decided to get some piercings and tattoos. SLC Ink is one of the best piercing places I’ve been. Raina was the BEST!!! I would recommend her any day to anyone! Fun staff and very professional. I legit almost passed out from a nose piercing bc of my stupid nervous system, but the staff helped me out and made me feel at home lol. Great price too!

I got a 1/4 sleeve done by Lilly, and it turned out very well! She was really helpful in the consultation as well, suggesting tweaks to the design outside of what I had considered! I really appreciated her attention to detail and clear interest in this tattoo from design to execution!

Highly highly recommend people give Lilly's work a look!

...

Unfortunately, there were a couple of downsides with the shop. My first appointment was cancelled without my knowledge (allegedly due to a system error.)

2 days before my rescheduled appointment, I was told the original artist was no longer available and I had to reschedule a second time with a new consultation.

Having to reschedule twice was really annoying and inconvenient, but I am thrilled with the result of Lilly's work!

Would definitely go back!

Keely is the most amazing artist. She did my first tattoos - handwritten messages from my grandparents and she did them thoughtfully and beautifully! I’ve wanted my grandparents handwriting as my first tattoos for as long as I can remember and she was the perfect artist to do something so special for me! Keely is friendly, great to talk to, thorough about the process, and made getting my tattoos so fun! I’ve already booked more with her! She’s incredible!

I came in as a walk-in and I am really happy with my experience. I came with my tattoo idea drawn (pretty poorly, I am no artist... haha) and Brooks took my idea and totally perfected it. He was honest with me about size, placement, etc. which I appreciated. He was really nice and made me feel comfortable. I love the way my tattoo turned out, and I honestly couldn’t imagine it looking any better. The shop was really clean and the people at the front desk were super friendly.

Layne did a great job on my daughter's tattoo.
This place is very clean and her playlist she has going was great.
All told, it was a wonderful experience for my daughter's first tattoo and I am sure she will go back for her next.

I originally scheduled an appointment online with Johnyxart today at 2pm. I showed up on time and had to wait 20-30 minutes because he was working on someone else. He asked me to come back at 4 and I did. He still wasn't finished with this person's tattoo. I had to wait another 30 minutes before being told I had to go to a different location to get my tattoo done by someone else. Some money was taken off the amount of my tattoo but overall the beginning of this was absolutely horrible.

The only good part was having Jaylin as my tattoo artist. She's absolutely amazing and did amazing line work! I will definitely be scheduling with her from now on. I was in and out in about 30-45 minutes. She saved this experience for me today. So, I give her a 5 star rating, but would not recommend scheduling with Johny. Thank you for being amazing Jaylin!!

Kristen did my first Tattoo and did an amazing job! Can't wait to keep working with her! She was very good about listening to what I wanted for the design and making it even better!
