Rend City Tattoo

Love my tats I got recently!! Jeremiah gets an A+ in my book! Clean, professional, and high quality!

Everything was super easy and everyone’s spoke to was super nice! They even got me in for an appointment super quick! I absolutely loved Megan and she did an amazing job! Everyone says it looks super clean and the line work is amazing. Will definitely be coming back for more! 😊

My husband and I got our tattoos done by Jeremiah here at Rend City. Mine was my late grandpas handwriting so it was very special to me. They all do fantastic work and are reasonably priced. I’ve already scheduled my second tattoo soon!

I have been looking for a shop since I moved to the area. My search is over. From the booking to the appointment the process was awesome. Jeremiah took a very vague idea of what I wanted and made an awesome piece. I am extremely happy with the results and will be going back for all my ink. Thanks again.

Amazing! Dakota was so fun to get a tattoo from. It was such a chill, relaxed atmosphere. And shes an amazing artist and I love my piece so far!

Jeremiah was fantastic. Extremely personable and talented. I shall return.

Made an appointment over the phone and drove 45 minutes just to be told they can’t fit us in anymore.

Clean, laid back, friendly atmosphere. Jeremiah did a great job on my tat and my husbands. Im going to get my next one with him tomorrow. He was friendly, chill, cooperative, delicate with the gun. My tat healed quickly with minimal pain and discomfort.

Got an excellent tat.from an awesome place. They were really cool & very clean. Would recommend these guys to anyone looking to get a good job & very reasonable price.

My fiancé and I just got our tattoos done and it was an awesome experience! Great quality better pricing and a friendly professional (and pretty funny staff). Our artist was really cool and easy to to get along with. He also helped my fiancé finish her design to exactly what she wanted. Definitely 5/5 this is now my designated tattoo shop.

Didnt have an appointment available for our short trip, but cool portfolio.And they were very professional, greeted us promptly, and explained everything.

Got a cover up and a bff tat by Jo last year. Had such a great experience I had to come back for my sleeve. This time I went and got my sleeve done by Brandon (the owner). He did an amazing job!! I love it so much!!! I would recommend Brandon and his crew to anyone. Hands down best place I have been to get a tattoo.

Was an amazing experience. Well knowledgeable work. Creative work. Loved it. Will be going back in November to finish color.

Glenn did my tattoo on my leg. It was a small tattoo, only took an hour and a half to fully complete but it wasn’t at all what I asked for. It looked completely different than pictures I had sent. He claimed he didn’t have time to do anything else to my tattoo yet said when I left, he said I still had an hour of tattooing left. Please make it make sense.The tattoo I got didn’t match the other tattoo that had been started on my leg, the style he went with was more cartoon instead of traditional. During the tattoo, it felt like he contradicted/was rude to a lot of what I would say, which is why I felt so uncomfortable speaking up about my unsatisfaction.His tattoo gun felt more painful than any other tattoo gun that’s touched me before (I have many tattoos, on my neck, ears, torso, etc.) He charged me $250 for the tattoo that wasn’t even connected together; just left it all spaced out and will need corrected and fixed by a different tattoo artist of course. Shop is clean and easy to find are my positives. But prices are gouged and now I’m already having to plan someone else to correct this on my tattoo so it will look right.

I came in the shop on a Friday during inclement weather, when most all other businesses were closed and the guys had their place shoveled, salted the whole 9 yards. I had an appointment set up in advance with Austin. Shop was warm inside, and really really clean! I dont usually write reviews but this was well deserved

Rend city tattoo The Owner Brandon Absolutely 💯 Sabatoged my tattoo..How could this have happened. I traveled to Chicago went to various Tattoo shops,,I know the rules when it comes to getting ink work done,Money was no object I was willing to spend whatever it took to get a great tattoo,, And after long consideration for the type of work that I wanted to get done Rend city was in my backyard..This has been two years ago I did everything properly the etiquette Met with artist ✅ Had the deposit in hand At the consultation ✅ even asked Brandon are you into doing this tattoo ✅ Because if you’re not I do not want to Do it. It was a sleeve That I was working on. Not an unfinished sleeve but a sleeve that I was building on. And honestly his rude personality I just thought he was a cocky good tattoo artist and it was just his personality but that should’ve been my first warning ⚠️ I left a deposit I made a date we talked about what we were going to do I felt great about it ✅ The day of my tattoo It had landed on my back surgery appointment in Mount Vernon and I was going to be running about an hour late. I called him and said is this going to be OK he said No problem. Me & my wife had just had our first child he was 2 months old..It was right before Christmas it was very cold I was nervous A bit..My wife dropped me off at the Square,,,I checked in and was told he’ll be here in a few minutes. He walked in And his eyes were bloodshot He yawns And says who is on my schedule. And then looks at me and says hey your matt I said hey what’s up Brandon then he uttered the words that you never want to hear now what were you want to get done. My stomach sank then I was like did you draw something up on what we had discussed he said no. And then he acted like he had no idea of what we had Talked about I started to remind him and then he says the second most disturbing Thing,,,Do you have like a favorite band logo that you like I was mortified. The one thing I would never do would be get a band tattoo,He says hold up!He comes back and shows me this concept polka trash art,,He said I can make it look really cool and what he showed me did look nice so I said do you care if I smoke a cigarette while you draw it up. He said you can go smoke a cigarette But I don’t need to drawl it up. I went outside and I thought in my head should I try to fight to get my deposit back or should I roll the dice. I went on my phone and went over all of his work that he has ever done and I said it’s a damn good artist and&it’s not uncommon not to draw it out.. And I did like the concept. So I went for it. He got out of sharpie and laid me down started to fire up the needle about 20 minutes then a customer comes then he’s got a complete leg piece that is beautiful. He asked Brandon hey I need you to draw me up for my other leg I just got a big check settlement were at the bar drinking do you have time. He said absolutely and he gets up and he says he said you go ahead and take a rest bud,,The the rudest thing that you could do to a Pang customer that has left a deposit that has waited three weeks. So I said I’m gonna go smoke a cigarette. I come back in the shed are you finally ready he’s like you smoke a lot. I should have ran out of there.He works on my arm for another hour. And he said well that’s all there is I can do today I looked at my unfinished arm he said you let that heal and come back in a month and will get it done and he said the deposit that you left pretty much covers the work that I did today leave another deposit and I’ll see you after Christmas. So I then go out to Chicago for Christmas with a unfinished jacked up tattoo by Brandon. I got home my wife said you’re not happy are you and I had to suck it up and say no no it’s just unfinished hon it’s all right. Deep down inside I was not happy. I go back one month later my arm Still has had scabs.He told me to come back in 2 more weeks..So I did,To be continued

Just the overall look and feel of this place is super cool. They not only do great work, but also give sound advice in regards to dos and donts of tattoos. Not to mention, this place is ridiculously clean and smells as sterile as a hospital. You just cant go wrong at Rend City tattoos!

Professional and friendly. Worked me in on a full schedule to get my piece done. Absolutely love it and them!

A deposit of $60. Is required when you make a appointment. Not sure on the tattooist but what I seen was cool

Very relaxing environment. Great work Low prices

Just great quality work. Took me as a walk in. The artist was a true artist, it’s the only tattoo I have that I am actually really happy with. 2 years later

Very disappointed scheduled a consultation for a cover up only to have my tattoo looked at for a few seconds then glanced at by the artist then told mine will have to be layered first no sitting down to discuss what I wanted or what could be done. Big disappointment

Absolutely terrible job on such a simple tattoo! They are also very rude and unprofessional. Highly suggest you go elsewhere and get a good quality tattoo with an artist who is reliable and cares about their work!

Called to get an idea of cost as compared to the other tattoo shops thats been around a lot longer with bigger reputations. Was quoted $120 an hour. Way higher than other tattoo artist with many more year of experience.

Got my brow peircing there very professional lady did a great job. Owner of the shop very cool laid back personality, I highly recommend the establishment to anyone for peircing and tattoo needs.

Awesome tattoo shop, super clean and great artists! Never disappointed, tattoos are always clean and perfect! This is the only shop I will go to in Southern Illinois!

Absolutely love this shop! I have gotten tattoos here that I absolutely love and will always keep giving them my business!

Such a comfortable environment and the staff is freaking awesome! Love my tattoo, and will definitely be coming back here for future tats!
