Diablo Ink Tattoos

Best tattoo shop Ive been to. Started on a leg sleeve with Aaron 10 months ago, and I couldnt be happier with his work. Two amazing artists, clean work environment, lots of laughs while getting amazing art work done. I look forward to each session. I found my tattoo home, I wont go to another shop!

Ive been going to Cat at Diablo Ink in High Ridge for over 10 years, and theres no better place to get tattooed. Cat is an absolute master of her craft—talented, patient, passionate, and incredibly creative. Ive had my entire back piece, a full sleeve, and now my second arm done by her, and every time, she blows me away with her artistry.What sets Cat apart is her ability to take a theme and run with it. I trust her completely to let her creativity shine, and she never disappoints. She even saved a tattoo that was horribly messed up by a St. Charles Tattoo Shop, turning it into something I’m proud to show off.If you’re looking for a tattoo artist who’s the real deal, Diablo Ink is where you need to go. Cat’s work is next-level, and you’ll leave with a tattoo that exceeds your expectations. This is the only place I’ll ever go, and once you experience Cat’s talent, you won’t want to go anywhere else either. Trust me—you won’t be disappointed!

I was referred to Diablo Ink by a former coworker and I’ve yet to be disappointed! The ideas I’ve come up with and how Cat was able to capture it was the absolute best!!!! I’ve referred everyone who inquires about my tattoos because they are so fascinated. Please, don’t hesitate to allow Diablo Ink to capture your ideas and create lifetime work that will you definitely be proud of.

I’ve been getting all my work done here for over a decade. Aaron and Cat both do excellent tattoos, and are also cool people to hang out with while you’re getting work done. I wouldn’t go anywhere else

Aaron and Cat are the only artists I recommend in my area, and my business is next door to a tattoo shop. With close to 100 hours from Aaron over the course of almost 30 years Im happy to testify to the quality of his work and professionalism. You wont find a cleaner environment to get inked in or more knowledgeable people to help you decide whats best for your skin, design, size and placement of that design.If youre thinking of getting high quality tattoo work in the St. Louis area then this is the only place you should be going.

Aaron is an amazing artist! I have several tattoos done by Aaron. I wrnt in there each time with a vision of what I wanted. Just threw my ideas out to him and he immediately went to work sketching my designs perfectly! He then put them into ink on my body permanently, and I love each piece of art he put on me!!

Love Cat and Aaron!! Great people!!!Cat has been tattooing me since March 2021. She is amazing artist! Wouldn’t go to anyone else.🤘🏻🍯🤘🏻🍯🤘🏻

Best tattoo, shop environment, culture etc. I felt welcome from the first time i walked in. Will never go anywhere else for a tattoo ever again!

Got some badass ink frome Diablo ink while visiting carnival of ink in Springfield

Ive been going to Diablo ink for 20 years now; every time as been great experience. With over 50 years of experience between both Aaron and Cat, they really know what theyre talking about. So for award winning work, dont hesitate to stop in and make an appointment.

Ive never had a complaint about any work Aaron has done for me! Ive never even had any colors touched up, because he does nothing but quality work. The shop is always clean, he and Cat are always fun to hang around, and I still get asked if my tattoos are brand new when most are 6-10 years old. I refer all of my friends and family here, and I have no problem sending complete strangers to Diablo, too. High quality work at awesome prices with awesome people-- what more could you ask for!?

I’ve waited for years to find the right artist to finish my back piece that I started 26 years ago. The team at Diablo are great artists and have a great no nonsense approach to their work! They treat people like they are treated. Aaron has a great dry humor to life and keeps working with you until the jobs is done correctly! A true perfectionist! If you are committed to a new tattoo you won’t find anyone else around!

Youll never have to look for another tattoo shop after getting tattooed here. Been getting tattooed here for ten years and I love everything I get done. Cat is amazing theres nothing she cant do! Shes super helpful with working out your idea or design with you and giving you something youll love. I highly recommend checking these great artists out. I get so many people asking me where I go to get tattooed and Im happy to say Diablo Ink!

First went to this shop right after I turned 18 after arguing with me mom about “not spending that kind of money” on something like a tattoo. 14 years and 12 horror portraits later, still the only place I go. Shop has always been clean and haven’t had any issues with the work. Always a good time hangin’ with Aaron & Cat.

I have nothing but great things to say about Diablo Ink. Ive been going here for years!! Aaron and Cat are both outstanding artists and take pride in their work. Very clean and sterile establishment. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Appointments only. Cash only. You get what you pay for. If you want cheap tattoos, go somewhere else. Aaron created the most amazing sleeve for me. I told him what I wanted, and along with his input and excellent artist skills he gave me the most badass sleeve ever!

Aaron and Cat are absolutely incredible artists, who have been tattooing me for 5 years now. Both, never cease to amaze me on their level of cleanliness, skill, and professionalism. Best shop in the area, and the only people who will ever tattoo me. Diablo Ink rocks!

I have had several tattoos done by Cat at Diablo Ink. I receive complements all the time on the work that Cat has done! Amazing artists who know what they are doing and who love what they do. I will never go anywhere else to get work done. I love my Alice in Wonderland tattoos and cant wait to get more done.This shop is extremely clean very professional. You get what you pay for :)

Aaron and Cat are absolutely amazing at what they do!! Never a disappointment, from designing something you see in your head and they bring it to life to treating you like family when you walk in the door! Highly recommend!!!

Diablo Ink is the only shop I have been to more than once, in fact I have over 50 hours of ink from this establishment. The level of courtesy, professionalism, knowledge, and skill held by both Aaron, Cat, members form the past, and the infrequent featured guest is for a lack of better terms, phenomenal! Both Cat and Aaron are straight shooters, tell it like it is, and will never steer you in the wrong direction. Any professional artists time is valuable so my advice is if you are going to shop around know what it is you want or have some idea, be courteous and polite and if you need a good portion of someones time have the courtesy to at least call and set up a time where you can sit down with them and work on it is what you want. Hands down, life long customer so long as one or both of them are still there!!!

I went in almost 2 years ago looking to do a full arm sleeve. It was a massive undertaking, everything on there was extremely detailed. I trusted Aaron at Diablo with this tattoo and it turned out better than Id imagined. The detail in this tattoo is amazing. Not just the detail but also his work ethic. He works hard for you, he will tattoo as long as you can take it. So if your looking for something badass go see Aaron and Cat, you wont disappointed.

There is no cleaner more professional shop around. The artists will take an idea and lead you down the path to something fantastic! Both are so creative and like to have fun while you are there. It’s like hanging out with friends. Some of our discusssions just make me laugh so hard and take the “scary” out of getting tattooed. Good times, good people, GREAT tattoos. Be ready when you go in to talk to them and be open to suggestions. I’m glad I left it to the pros to help me because my basic idea tuned into a unique work of art. Worth the wait for sure! Oh and they have experience no other shop I have been to has. Bother of them have worked in the industry over 20 years each. You can’t go wrong!

Best tattoo shop in Jefferson County and possibly the state!! I will never go anywhere else. Aaron and his partner Kat (spelling?) are amazing artists and their work is absolutely impressive.. Cant go wrong trusting them to care if you

Ive been getting tattooed at Diablo Ink for many years. Cat has done all my work and Ive never once been disappointed. Its a 2 artist shop and for the most part appointment only. If youre looking for a 20 minute walk in tattoo, this may not be the place for you. However, if youd like to collaborate with an experienced artist that will help you think through your tattoo and decide what will work best, stop by to discuss and make an appointment. Ive sat in the studio for more hours than I can remember and I always have a good time with these guys. Theyre down to earth, no BS, talented people. Drop your ego at the door and just come in for some quality work.

Got my patriotic half sleeve finished by Aaron a couple of weeks ago, and I could not be happier. Aaron and Cat are both very talented artists. They are professional and fun people to sit around and talk to. If you are looking for a realistic or detailed tattoo, Diablo Ink is the way to go.

This is by far the best shop around, I absolutely love all of the work I have had done by Aaron and Cat! If you are looking for some amazing artwork I highly recommend you stop by and see them! Thank you both for all the amazing tattoos you have done for me, I couldnt be happier!

My husband has been getting tattooed by Aaron for at least ten years now. Every time he gets a new one, its just as impeccable as the first one. When I saw his most recent tattoo, I decided I wanted one. Aaron recently did my tattoo. It is fan-freaking-tastic! So much color and detail! Its exactly how I pictured it. The tattoo I chose is feminine in every way, my husbands of course are not. I love my tattoo and am very happy with not only that but the service I received every time I visited the shop. Thank you Aaron for my fabulous piece of art😊

So Cat is working on my sleeve, our first session was fantastic, it is a cover up so she worked with me to help me figure out what option would be best to cover my old work up. Professionalism is off the chart, She is helping me craft 3 or 4 themes and melding them together to honor my love of comics and my sons journey with autism. I cant wait to continue my sleeve journey, Cat has been a wealth of knowledge and is I feel like as excited as I am for the sleeve to take shape. The only place I will ever get ink again!

I am thrilled with the two tattoos Ive gotten here. Cat and Aaron are true pros, they will have my business forever. If you are looking to get inked, definitely check these guys out. They will treat you fair and you will leave with a great looking tattoo.

Ive been a customer of Diablo Ink for a long time. Aaron and Catherine are both amazing artists and I couldnt be happier with their work. I trust no one else. I love that theyre honest enough to tell me when one of my ideas will not work but give me an option of what will work. I even have an award-winning piece on my side. Go in and talk to them. You wont be disappointed.

I have gotten three tattoos here and the only reason I havent gotten more is that I moved away from St Louis. They do fantastic work and I recommend them to all of my friends in the St Louis area.**Update**After moving I have gotten some new work done at a local shop where I live now, but I just recently booked an appointment to get more work done at Diablo Ink over the holidays when I came back to visit with friends and family. By far they are still my favorite shop, and do great work!

After much research and visiting multiple tattoo shops in Jefferson County and the St. Louis area, (I was willing to travel for a good tattoo. I figured it was well worth my extra time to find the right place) a couple of friends told me to check out Diablo Ink and as luck would have it I certainly saved the best for last when it came to the right shop! I originally came in to get a cover-up. Cat took the time to talk to me about it where other shops turned up their noses and acted like I wasnt worth their time! Well, remember that scene in Pretty woman when Julia Roberts comes back to the clothing store...Shop assistant: Hello, can I help you?Vivian: I was in here yesterday, you wouldnt wait on me.Shop assistant: Oh.Vivian: You people work on commission, right?Shop assistant: Yeah.Vivian: Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now.Well, Diablo Ink has a forever customer in me and my family! Not only did Cat do an AMAZING cover up, she helped me with a memorial tattoo for my son who passed away. Her sketch made me cry and the tattoo is beautiful!! I get stopped constantly with people asking to see my tattoos and they want to know where I got them done!! Cat has hand drawn all of my tattoos they are all original works of art! I have a large piece that extends across my chest my shoulder and upper arm. We are currently working on a large piece that extends from the top of my foot to my knee. Cant wait to start the next project!! I have also witnessed the amazing work that Aaron does as well. They are both true artists!Diablo ink is a NO BS shop! Aaron and Cat will tell you the truth and they wont tattoo something that will look bad. They will help you to make the right decision and get whats going to look the best! Last but certainly not least, they are by far the cleanest shop I have ever set foot into! I highly recommend!!

Cat and Aaron are awesome! Lots of experience between the two of them, and it shows! Cat absolutely killed it on my sleeve! Definitely my go to shop

Kat and Aaron are the best. Don’t waste your time and money going anywhere else. They’ve never done me wrong. Kat did my right arm in a sleeve of Dali. And it is beyond unbelievable. People ask me about it all the time. Thanks for the great artwork on my skin.

My husband has two very nice tattoos done by Cat. Hes working on a sleeve and started with a beautiful chicken . Thats what Cat calls it but its actually a phoenix. She drew it up heerself and is a wonderful artist. The shop is very clean and they are very friendly. My husband and I will always get our tattoos done here and nowhere else.

Its been many years since Ive gotten a tattoo, but this is the shop I would recommend. Ive been dealing with Aaron since 2003 at Diablo Ink (previously St. Louis Ink Box). Hes always been professional and helped build the skills of other top talent that have gone on to do their own thing.

Diablo Ink is one of the best tattoo establishments I have ever been too. Clean and professional. Aaron and Cat are the best!

When I was 18 years old I walked in to set up an appointment. I showed Aaron what I wanted and he said I have an open slot now, lets do this. My tattoo is still beautiful (9 years later). No color fading or bleeding. Im very proud of it. The kids I work with try to take it all the time because its pretty. Hopefully Ill be back soon to get another one Im thinking about. Thanks guys for making a silly young girls first tattoo experience amazing.

Their skill is beyond artistry. Their attention to detail is outstanding. If youre looking to get a tattoo, its more like a piece of art

I have been getting tattooed at Diablo for over a decade always with 100% positive results. Attention to detail and customer service are top-notch 10/10 would recommend !

Outstanding work done by excellent artists. Had a sleeve done with just a general description/idea for what I wanted, and the end result exceeded my expectations that were already pretty high. Cleanliness and professionalism are second to none. I constantly get compliments on the content and quality of the work, and asked where I had it done. 10/10

They were running a deal where you spend 100 bucks on a gift card an you get 25 for free. I dropped 400 bucks and set up an appointment a few months later. I took 2-3 trips up there which is a 30min or better drive. He told me to email him my ideas so I did. His first response was that the picks arent printable. So I looked up the pictures again on my computer and resent them in a file I knew would print. His second reply was theyre too small and once you blow them up they are pixelated. I told him I dont know what else to do other than come up there. An his very last reply was, just come up tomorrow and Ill refund you the money back. For someone who brags about his work and being better than other artist I sure dont see the professionalism. I am very displeased with his attitude. I waited 3 years to get this next tattoo started and it took 3 emails for him to give up and lose business. Like the other comments on here...if youre not willing to budge on your feelings and opinion of a tattoo dont come here. Poor professionalism.

Phenomenal artists! One of the cleanest shops I’ve been around. Amazing design and detail in tattoos, would highly, highly recommend this shop!!!

Ive got a sleeve from Kat and i love it. always feel comfortable everytime i get tattooed here. its like sitting at home getting tats. watching movies and the sound of a tattoo gun is pretty peaceful

I am afraid Bunny is not used to dealing with reputable artists. There is a protocol (whether dealing with sketch, paint, tattoo, or any creative medium artist). I am sure there are places that would accommodate the instant gratification needs of Bunny. But, of course, you get what you pay for! The work done at Diablo Ink so far surpasses the everyday norm; I sort of feel sorry for Bunny. Had she been more understanding and educated (checking the site fully for information); she would have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of work. Not to mention the CUSTOM, ONE OF A KIND, work. I ALWAYS refer friends, associates, etc. to Diablo Ink. You wont be sorry.

I’ve been a happy customer of Aaron and Kat’s studio since 2003. This is THE shop for quality tattoos in the St Louis area! Accept no substitutes/weaklings

Bunny,I got a new tattoo gun for Christmas, which was also a coming home present from prison. I honed my mad skills in the joint tattooing masterpieces such as juggalo clowns and tear drops. Drop a line on here and Ill fit you right in, yep no wait, custom pieces. Just give me time to clean all the cat feces off my moms recliner. Give me a heads up and Ill give you directions. The trailer park is pretty easy to find.Angel Madskills

Cat has done multiple difficult pieces pieces for me for almost a year now. She nails it ever time.

Been going there for 15 year. There amazing tattoo artists.

Great artists. Professional clean and care about your satisfaction.Aaron or cat both outstanding

Cat does an amazing job I can’t give her my money quick enough! This is the place to come too

Iv got several pieces done and couldnt be happier with them. Working on a sleeve right now and cant wait to finish it. Wish i would have found diablo sooner. I will go here for as long as i get tattooed.

I have been coming here for years, they do top notch work for a reasonable price. Appointment only, which I like, because you know youre slotted to get ink.

Actually I was at Modern Weapons Systems, next door, but a bunch of the tattoo artists come in and seem like the nicest people ever!

Extremely professional staff I will never go anywhere else. Each tattoo was passionately done way beyond my expectations.

Best two artists around. Great atmosphere,very clean and professional.

Looks great so far already made my second appointment. These people are great!

I wouldn’t go or recommend anywhere else. Cat does top notch work.

Very clean and professional..we were there for a consultation..my hubby cant wait for his tattoo.
