Manco Studios

New Republic Tattoo and Donny Manco knocked it out of the park! I provided a direction for where I wanted to go, and let Donny have artistic freedom to create. Working with him and Sarah Jane Collins Manco was seriously the best customer service experience Ive ever experienced. Their studio space is also the most amazing hangout, with the old world brick and wood. And tattoo areas are completely sanitized before every session. Lastly, after your tattoo, you get to sign the blood wall on the way out, making you a permanent member of the family. As soon as I can budget it, Ive got more canvas to fill and will definitely be back. Theyre the only ones touching my skin going forward.

Donny was phenomenal .. he’s an artist that really cares and treats your tattoo as if it was his own.. very meticulous, and works his magic till it is 100%.. as for the shop, it was perfect.. friendly and lively staff, very clean with good vibes.. I would recommend new republic to anyone looking to get work done.

I have been getting tattoos from Donny for almost 15 years. I now have the honor to get them done by Memphis. Memphis also tattooed my daughter 3 times. They are the ONLY people that I will allow to tattoo me and my family. Not only are the fabulous artists- they are amazing people too. The quality from start to finish is incredible. I will never go anywhere else! Highly recommend!

Having lived in Fort Wayne for the last 25 years, I’d been familiar with the name Donny Manco but hadn’t had the opportunity to meet him until today. What a treat! He and Sarah are absolutely amazing! They worked together to help me find a design I Ioved and made me feel welcome in their shop. Donny’s work is top-notch. I can’t wait to go back for my next piece.

On August 28, Donny did a portrait of Pete Rose on my left forearm. Donny hit a home run with this tattoo. It looks GREAT! I was so pleased. I would strongly recommend Donny Manco if you are considering getting a tattoo. His work is expensive, but quality comes with a price. Trust me, it was time and money well spent. I plan to get a portrait of Babe Ruth on my right forearm soon. Can’t wait. Thanks Donny.

As an Artist, great human being and an amazing Tattoo artist I cant say enough about Donny and his Partner in Art Sarah ...and playing Rammstein while he is immortalizing them on my skin....priceless!!! The Best!!!!

Highly recommend this shop. My son just got his first tattoo from Donnie and could not be happier. Donnie was very friendly, explained everything that he was doing to make my son feel at ease. Detailed oriented and excellent work.

Donny was great. Great work and conversation. He helped convey all of my ideas into my tattoo. The location was a great and full of history and character. Highly recommend.

The studio itself is beautiful, the artists have really good chemistry, and Alexandra did an amazing job. I dont live in Indiana currently but Ill wait to get more ink until Im back in town.

My 2 favorite tattoos done by Memphis. These hold much meaning and I love what he did with them!

Best tattoo shop in Fort Wayne! Great vibes, clean shop, wonderful artist. Donnie Manco is by far one of the best in Fort Wayne a true pioneer of the art! Would recommend to any and everyone if you can get an appointment!!! This is a cover up and still has a few sessions to go but still amazing work!

Talented artists, great customer service, clean and inviting space. I had an excellent experience

Talented artists (tats and art show artists) and cool vibe. Very clean!

After the loss of my fiancé, I decided to get my very first tattoo to remember the gifts of grace that God has given me throughout my grief journey. I was incredibly nervous and wasnt quite sure what to expect. WOW...Donny exceeded any expectation that I had!! The very first thing he wanted to hear was about my journey...what it was that brought me to his shop. I was so surprised; he was sensitive, kind, compassionate and genuine! I felt like I was talking to a friend.When it came to the design, he took his time in helping me come up with just the perfect tattoo, he was very meticulous and precise. I came with some ideas but he tweaked it to perfection. He made me feel comfortable and at ease...it was easy to trust him with such a big decision. Im not familiar with any other tatttoo shops, but my experience with Donny was exceptional...I will recommend him to anyone wanting a talented tattoo artist with great bedside manners!!Thanks Donny for making my first experience such a positive one!!!BlessingsMolly

This is a great place to get a tattoo. They are very professional excellent at what they do.

Had appointment scheduled for 3 months. Little snow and they decide to move my appt out 2 weeks. Even thought the snow was on Wednesday and my appt was on Saturday. Said they had to accommodate the people from Wednesday. I have a life too and find them inconsiderate for being a service provider. Take your business elsewhere!

Donny is the best tattoo artist I have ever met, Hands down. You would be wasting your time and money by not going to him. He makes the process comfortable for you and the end result is breath-taking.

Very talented artists! They do amazing work and are worth the price. The shop is very clean and they seem to do appointments only because they are so booked up and also like to do a consultation with their clients to make sure you get what you want out of your experience. I highly recommend this shop!

Donny Manco is very meticulous. Very detail oriented and very professional. He was polite, made us feel like we had known him forever. Amazing!!! Thank you a million times.

Donny and Memphis are great to work with. Friendly and professional atmosphere, outstanding service and value. Thank you for all your work!

They might be good at tattooing but they are terrible at customer service. I have visited this shop multiple times. I have also been tattooed there. This wasnt the only time that the entire place was this rude.So I felt the need to leave a review. I will take my business elsewhere.Just remember everybody has friends that can leave a five star review.

Leila is my favorite Artist! You provide her of a design you want and she is like a Xerox Copy machine!!! Super professional on serving her clients and her works just Amazing!

I had my consultation with donny today he was very professional helped decide where the best place to do my moms portrait had good ideas to what to put around it cant wait to get started on it
