I got a walk in tatoo with Rodney. It is honestly the worst 150$ ive ever spent of my life. I asked for line work and if he was able to do so which he said he could. He couldnt, my lines are shaky, uneven and theres ink spot. I need to get it fix because I cry every time I look at it. He wasnt able to own he couldnt do it. My friends got tatooed by him at the same time, same result, her tatoo is crooked. The worst of the worst, dont ever spend your money there

Went into the shop to get some lettering done but started browsing through the books of “one time only” tattoos. Found one of an owl that was exactly what I had been thinking about for years. Justin was my artist and it turned out better than I could’ve dreamed. Nothing but compliments since I got it. I’ll definitely swing back by the next time I am in town.

Jeff is wonderful. He really took the time to get what I wanted - color, design etc. He asked if needed breaks frequently (Inhad just had neck surgery 3 weeks prior.) All of thenartists were welcoming and talented.

I’ve been tattooed by Kris, Amy, Justin, Nick, and Jeff! Every one of them is AMAZING. This shop is filled to the absolute brim with talent. If you’re looking for a tattoo, this independence is the place to be!

Independence is a really cool spot with talented, friendly and skilled artists! I came to Nick Vernoski with an unclear vision for a cover up and he came up with the best design and executed it better than I could have imagined. I would recommend him any day.

Nick v has tattooed me multiple times, never a complaint . Keeps his appt times and checks in with you prior. Shop is clean and as professional as you’d like a tattoo shop to be. Nice place for sure

Great shop. Very professional. Jeff Malota is an amazing artist, he was very easy to work with and has done custom pieces for my wife and I, you can tell he loves what he does.

Jeff Malota has been tattooing our family for years! He's done all of the tattoos for both my husband and myself. He does excellent work and being a nurse, I appreciate that he takes great care with the sterility of his instruments and his workspace. We won't rely on anyone else to ink our family. Thank you Jeff and the entire staff of Independence!

You guys really need to check this place out!! It's a new spot with exceptional artist. Hit up Jeff, he has more than 12 hrs into a sleeve on my arm which is incredible. Great people to hang out with!!
