Skin Worthy Tattoo

Gene is amazing my mother and father passed away in 2018 and my husband got me a gift certificate to get a tattoo so I went to him and explained what I wanted and he drew it out perfectly I have had so many compliments on my tattoo and memory of my parents I highly highly recommend him to everybody. The building on the inside is beautiful. The staff is very friendly and caring.

10/10 would recommend. Gene was amazing!!! Fit me in on the same day I called, super easy to talk to and made us feel extremely comfortable! The shop is very clean and beautifully done as well as the tattoo he gave me, he perfected each and every line. Making him my new artist for sure.

Had a great session with Kelsey today. I was a random walk-in and she took fantastic care of me. I LOVE my ink. The shop itself is clean and has cool, relaxing aesthetic. Highly recommend!

Gene did an amazing job and love the outcome of my tattoo!! He really does great at the detail of it and it just looks amazing. Very happy with it!! The shop is beautiful, too! Thank you so much for making my idea come to life!!

Kelsey was amazing! I will be coming back for my next tattoo!

I got 2 tattoos done by Kelsey today and Im obsessed with them. She did amazing and the whole session we were just laughing about various topics of conversions .The shop also got me in as a walk-in which was awesome because Ive never been able to get a tattoo as a walk in before . Im very satisfied ☺️

Absolutely love the new addition, will definitely be returning.

The owner is very friendly and professional. I always get myself worked up prior to getting the tattoo but he was awesome and just made conversation with me. He was very focused on the detail of the tattoo which I appreciate in an artist. I definitely plan on going back for my future projects.

I went in with my bestie and got matching tats. Nothing fancy but we walked in and they got us in right away! Great job tatting, very clean, sterilizes everything, great music playing, and good pricing! Zachary was the guy who got us and he did amazing!

Love this place!! I got my sons name on my forearm in a very fancy font while each letter is filled in with two colors and it was worth every penny!! Very clean and safe environment. The owner is a very friendly guy and the rest of the artists are awesome too. I will definitely be going back again!

Had to get my balls put back in my earring after having them removed for surgery, took less then 3mins. Walk in on a Saturday (everywhere else was booked), will definitely look into getting future work done here both tattoo and piercing, very friendly and great vibe!

Went in to get my dermal piercing and my daughter got her belly piercing.....it was fast and painless....Im going back in a few weeks!! I truly recommend Skin Worthy Tattoos for all your needs...AWESOME STAFF, funny too... now the bad news. 2 weeks later my dermal was coming out and I had to remove it. They tried to charge me $20 or $25 to take it out after I paid over $40 to get it!!! I let it fall out on its own......Neosporin was my friend. I healed perfectly!!! Pay attention to the procedures they do. Theyre different...i have to take away 2 stars......

Gene is always great. Got inked by the apprentice Kelsey. She is amazing. Great atmosphere, super clean and professional shop. Will be back very soon.

The tattoo artist is an amazing guy, very friendly and much respectful. His prices are amazing and his shop is very sanitarily clean.. I cant wait to go back. I watched his work and hes great!

Ive been here twice and both times it was GREAT!I would refer any and everyone to GENE! He is an amazing artist and very professional. Thank you again . This is ( Outie)

Great place, very professional and clean. Shop owner Gene did an outstanding job on my leg sleeve and really brought it to life. I highly recommend to tattoo lovers

The shop itself is nothing like Ive ever seen before. It was so open, the guys were very friendly, the music was different (which was very refreshing) and overall very clean. Let me not forget the bathroom! Dont forget to use it, its badass. My artist was really cool, very thorough in his explanation of aftercare as well. I will say Im not 100% happy with my tattoo. Obviously, its not as bright as the day I got it, which is expected. But if you look closely you can see the outline stand out more than the color filled it, as if it wasnt blended well or the fill in color wasnt filled in enough. One of the major lines isnt straight, but I guess I could blame that on the lines on my achilles tendon? Also, a piece is missing that was never tattooed. Not terribly worried about it because its small, between the ankle bone and achilles tendon on the inside of my left foot. Doubt anyone will get that close, but I know its not there so its annoying. What was really interesting is they offer free touch ups up to six months after your original appointment! Ive never had that offered before. Overall, the experience was great, my tattoo is just okay.

Shop was nice too bad the tattoo wasn’t. Have to go to a different tattoo artist to get it fixed. Would not recommend coming here. Ive been regretting it since i got my tattoo. There are a lot better places that are cheaper as well in the Cedar Rapids area.

My friend wanted to get her first tattoo of an arrow(extremely basic and only about 3 inches long). We called and were told that there would be someone available for walk-ins and drove an hour from where we live to get there. When we showed up, the apprentice (who answered the phone and told us someone would be available) was the only one there. He then proceeded to convince my friend that he could easily do her tattoo. She really wanted to get it and it was simple enough we figured you couldnt really mess it up.I have two tattoos of my own and have seen plenty of other people get them done so I noticed a few things were off. First off, he took extremely long to set up. He kept playing with the gun settings and speeds and settled on something that seemed very low. That is when I started to get concerned but my friend had already paid upfront and we didnt want to leave.Almost 45 minutes of him tattooing a tiny arrow on her shoulder later we were ready to leave. Before we could, he kept tugging and pulling at different parts of her sore shoulder to check what spots he missed and hurting his customer.This whole time, another artist walked in about fifteen minutes in to the process and continued to be loud, obnoxious, and ignoring the clearly struggling customer less than ten yards away to attend to his girl friend.Now, a week later, her wobbly and gap filled arrow has now faded to a pencil lead color and when we call, the apprentice is the one answering phones and still pushing his services.We are driving to Ames tonight to get her tattoo basically completely re done. I will not return or recommend this place to others.

Got a few different piercings by Jordon and he was very professional and funny which made it a lot less nerve racking! Definitely would recommend and plan on going back for more piercings!

Ive gotten two tattoos from this place and am planning on getting a third one done here in the next few months. Fantastic environment, wonderful tattoo artists, and competitive prices. Would highly recommend.

I got a a tattoo here like two years ago. It was beautiful. However it soon lost pigment in several spots. When I called to get it touched up the artist and he kept saying that he would call me back. Never did.

Gene did my first tattoo of a saying for my best friend and I, I absolutely love it!!Kane did my second one on my side, free handed I didnt have anything drawn up before hand I love it. :)

When I went I got a piercing, a helix one. The girl didnt get the needle through all the way on the first try but still tried to stick the piercing piece in. Let me tell you, it was insanely painful and there was a lot of blood. Went to another piercer at my now favorite shop and they said there might be some issues healing.

Cain did a wonderful job on my Fleur De Lis on my side. He also charged me less than I thought. I would go back to him again for sure.

Had 2 sessions so far with Ray Lutenske & will definitely be returning for more! Very clean, professional, yet still friendly.

Not very impressed at all. Just had some wording and a very simple design on my finger and it just doesnt look good. I feel if you own or are working in a tattoo shop or in the business you should have some visable tattoos. My artist didnt have any visable and also wasnt very personal. Felt very uncomfortable. Very expensive

Poor work, owner has hot temper and is unprofessional. He doesn’t respect anyone and is very hot headed. Wouldn’t go there. And very disrespectful against all people. He was very rude and is a bad tattoo artist.

Dudes amazing, nice clean laid back place, convenient location, this my new tattoo spot and it should be your new spot too.

Such a great place cant wait to get more the owner was great made you feel comfortable what a great artist

No hot water for customers and artists to wash hands after using the toilet. No hot water at artist stations. Unsafe. Dirty. Poor quality tattoos.

My boyfriend got a chest tattoo here of an anchor it was amazing. Clean area, friendly people, decent prices

Great service with an outstanding team. As for the work, theyre very professional and thorough.

Ray does the best tattoos that Ive seen so far hes done two of mine

Kane was amazing! Great work and I am recommending everyone to him!

Great tattoo work, professional and friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Artist had more time in smoke breaks and talking to a family than he did working on me.

Just had some work done by Ray and he made sure I was satisfied!!!

Had a great time always do cant wait to get some more ink done

Great artists in one place more on the expensive side but well worth it.

Great place loved the work and the gentle man that did my work great dude

Great work from great people! I definitely recommend Kane!!

Gene did a fantastic job, the shop is beautiful.

Gene Rocks! Greatest artistic free-hand skills in town.
