The Raptor Collective

Best of all time! Ever since my first tattoo from Chris I will never be going to anyone else for my ink. He’s always done amazing quality work that won’t disappoint and always gives a great experience in the shop! Definitely ready to get back in to get my sleeve finished up for my boy!

One of the best tattoo artists Ive been to. Christopher has done a few of my tattoos and does amazing work. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend The Raptor Collective to anyone looking to get some work done weather its big or small hes your guy

I got my outer space sleeve done in 2018 by Chris along with a tattoo cover up and a few others. My sleeve is a blast of colors, they’re all solid and the intricate details are impeccable.

Updated healed photo from my tattoo about 9 months ago! It’s amazing! By far my favorite piece ever. I cannot wait to add more to it! Christopher White did this! Awesome and clean environment. Highly recommend, especially for any sleeve work

Chris is a phenomenal artist and super attentive to detail. He’s super nice and has an awesome atmosphere. He has a clean shop and does amazing quality tattoos. Would recommend to anybody. I mean, look at these beauties!

Alec was wonderful!!! Attentive, professional, and open to changes last minute... ( was in the middle of my tat and I changed my mind on a design element)... will 💯 go back to Alec for more.....

Chris is fantastic! He’s been doin my work for years and I made sure he was the first to do my sons also. His work speaks for itself. No doubt he is one of the best artist is the jasper county area!

Christopher is an amazing artist. Very open to unique ideas, and custom pieces. Very clean, and organized shop. Line work, fading, and color tattoos are top notch.

Cant say enough positive things about Chris! His work is amazing, hes very professional, and his shop has a very comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. Ive been to several artists in town and Chris ranks #1 in my book!

Absolutely best place to get a tattoo done , I felt so welcomed when I walked in , the people there are so down to earth. The new apprentice katelyn did my tattoo and she’s a wonderful kind soul. I felt like I’ve known her for years and we just met that day lol that’s her energy the entire time doing your tattoo! She will forever be my new artist ! I met one other gentleman there but I can’t remember his name to save my life lol but he also was very kind and welcoming ! Just a safe haven to get your next tattoo done !

Awesome place! Very clean and the atmosphere is truely unique. Ive been getting tattooed by Chris for 2 years now, and each piece is outstanding. You cant find a better tattoo shop.

Went here for the first time and had a great experience. Very clean and friendly. Katelyn did my tattoo, very sweet young lady, did an amazing job. Will definitely being going back for more work and cant wait!!!

I had no idea this shop existed, in its tucked in little corner of town! Everything is top-notch: the tattoo work, the aesthetic of the shop, the decor. I also applaud the fact TRC is highlighting and honouring their apprentice - everyone is doing great work, there! 10/10 recommend. #georgecostanza

Chris has done my whole sleeve as a tribute to my marine brother who passed. He did such fantastic work I send everyone I know to him. Super chill guy and great atmosphere

Chris is a fantastic artist and has an amazing shop. Very glad I found him. Everyone should check him out!

The artists at the Raptor Collective are really nice and super talented. I’d recommend them to everyone looking for an awesome experience, the artistic talent is some of the best! Clean shop, awesome art everywhere. Five stars definitely. ‼️ I’ve been going to Chris for a few years now and he’s definitely my guy from now on. Katelyn also has the eye for greatness, her work is outstanding! Keep up the terrific work guys!

Ive gotten quite a bit of work from Chris. -The back of both legs!!!-I also have appointments set to start working on on the front of them as well. 😊❤️😁Hes very clean, trustworthy, creative and is great at what he does. He is an amazing artist!! I highly recommend going to him for any of your tattoo needs ❤️

Christopher did an elephant tattoo on my arm for my son and he did such a phenomenal job! Absolutely plan to go to him again and will always recommend him to others!

I’ve got the majority of my tattoos from Chris White. I live in Springfield now and drive an hour and 20 to come get tattoos from him.He can tackle anything you’re wanting to put on your skin permanently.

So, my wife has been getting work done from Chris for a good minute and I’m sold. This place has a great atmosphere and if more so with their artists. Katelyn did a pair of tats on me and my wife and I love them. This place is the spot and people need to make sure to get in before they have a long wait list. Art is amazing, people are, and the just ambiance. Can’t wait to get more stuff done and soon

Hands down, Chris is an exceptional artist. Hes done all my ink the last couple years. Get compliments every day and pass his name on. Clean shop, great atmosphere. Love talking about whether weve seen the latest Nick Cage movie! Time to get back in and finish a sleeve.

Chris is Absolutely amazing . He makes the whole experience relaxed and comfortable! The amazing taste in music is just a plus on top of the great environment and the amazing tattoo! If you havnt been to see him your definitely missing out! Photo is only 1st session!

My experience was fantastic, Chris is a very talented artist and very easy to make conversation with. The shop was very clean and everyone was very friendly!

I had a decent sized tattoo on my arm I had to hide for almost a year from another artist. I started researching new artists and Chris’s work stuck with me the most. The rework turned out amazing and I can finally show it off.I recommend anyone that needs a tattoo fixed/done to his shop. Booking with him was easy and the shop was very clean. The experience itself was judge-free, and very professional. I look forward to my next appointment!

He did my tattoo! She turned out amazing! Super good conversation during the tattoo. 100000/10 recommend going here for any sleeve work!!

We love Chris! My husband & I have gotten a few pieces from him each & we will not trade him for anyone else. He does amazing work. He also has a really soft hand considering I’m a girl. I recommend him 💯%. He’s also very respectful & doesn’t make you feel awkward when working on you. My husband & I trust him to the max. We will continue to go to him.

Chris is a wonderful tattoo artist great sense of humor and a delight to talk to. I highly recommend him his work is absolutely badass and he knows how to make your art ideas become reality. Clean atmosphere 10/10

Great customer service, clean and awesome atmosphere. Doesnt matter what you want, how big or small, Chris is by far 1 of the best artists around, highly recommend his talent to anyone and everyone for ink or artwork, he knocks it all out of the park. Looking forward to coming in and getting the rest of my arm finished up that we started over a year ago, just havent had the time to make it back in.

I’ve gotten many tattoos from many places and none of them are as cool as The Raptor Collective. Elegantly decorated, vibes are immaculate, cool music playing, and very professional. Along with incredibly talented artists! I got a tattoo from Katie and she listened, made me feel incredibly comfortable, and did the most amazing job!! An overwhelmingly awesome shop :)

I havent been to the shop yet, but have been following on Facebook and cant wait to get in there to get some work done. The work looks fantastic by both Christopher and the apprentice Katelyn. Also, the shop itself looks great from the pictures! Good job to you all! From what Ive seen and the reviews Ive read I would definitely recommend.

The place is clean and everyone is so friendly and talented. Chris is awesome and has great ideas. I literally just tell him what I’m thinking and the results are amazing! Plus I constantly get compliments on my tattoos, I automatically say where I had the work done. I’ll recommend The Raptor Collective every time!

Chris is top notch in the trade. He is one of the best & one of the most professional tattoo artists I have had the pleasure of knowing & creating my tattoos. He has done almost all of my skeeve.His talents & skills are epic. I have personally referred many people to him which I do not take lightly. You will not regret having Raptor Collectives inking your masterpiece by Chris & his business.

Ive been following Chriss Facebook pages and have loved every piece of work Ive seen! Also a huge fan of the new lounge area his wife got for him! The atmosphere looks so clean and professional. This will def be the next place Im tatted!

I’ve been following your Facebook page for awhile now and I’ve been waiting on extra funds to get a tattoo done by you. Your work is absolutely amazing. I love how you interact with your clients and i love seeing all your beautiful work! Keep up the amazing job! (Even if i don’t win the giveaway, you are still the next person i plan to book with!)

Seriously, the cleanest and friendliest dude in the business! Been getting tattoos by him for years and loved every one of them. The talent is great, the conversations are hilarious and you’ll be wanting to come back again and again! He knocked my dads tattoo out of the park for me! Worth the wait and worth every dollar!!!

New to the Joplin area, but have heard great things about the business and seen a few pieces of work I really enjoyed. I will definitely trust you guys with my next tattoo when I am able to get it started! Keep up the great quality!❤️

I personally haven’t gotten any work done by any of the artists at the raptor collective but I know that Christopher is a badass tattoo artist! I’ve seen his work with my own eyes and let me tell you I am so ready for some ink therapy! Chris has great suggestions and he puts his own spin on his work and that’s what makes him a great artist! 🎨🖌️ if you need some ink therapy done hit him up. I promise You won’t be disappointed!!!!!! ❤️

Chris is a really good artist! I first went to him for a tattoo about 7 years ago and I would still highly recommend him to this day! he’s always improving and never lacking in the customer service/ satisfaction department.

I got a tattoo done by Katelyn and was so impressed. She went above and beyond my expectations. She drew up a tattoo that wasn’t anywhere near any of the ideas I had sent, but just from our conversations, had a feeling I would love and I really appreciated that because it showed me from our first meeting that she listens, has creative direction and loves artistic freedom which is what I really look at when looking for an artist. I can’t wait to go back and get more!

Phenomenal shop and artists!! Such an clean and unique environment that you cant help but be giddy to be in. The artistry is absolutely amazing and unlike anyone others around! The attention to detail and the pure love for the artwork itself leads to every piece looking stunning. If youre looking for a tattoo shop to become the only one ypu ever want to go to, this ones it!

Chris is amazing at ilistrating any idea I have put in front of him. Beautiful shop and amazing work.

Super awesome people!! katelyn was great at making me feel comfortable and relaxed during the whole thing and her precision was phenomenal, very much in love with my piece and look forward to supporting this shop a whole lot more in the future!! also there is a super cool aesthetic in the shop, lots of cool art pieces, highly recommend checking it out.

Christopher did my sisters and my tattoos before he opened his own location. It was such a fun experience! He and his apprentices continue to amaze and the talent is phenomenal. Please, do yourself a favor and choose The Raptor Collective for your ink therapy needs.

Chris has done my tattoos since the very beginning and he never disappoints!! Reasonably priced, quick, and he can hold great conversation with you while he pokes and prods your skin 😂 I recommend him to everyone when I get compliments on my tattoos

Chris’ work is phenomenal. I’ve never seen anyone do dot work like his especially! I follow the other artist on Facebook and they never fail to show out at this shop! So much talent!

I always see awesome work being posted and the tattoos always look amazing. My friend has some AMAZING tattoos done by Chris! I would love to get a new piece done here! And get some cover ups on some old pieces!

I was a walk in and a little apprehensive when I learned that the available artist was an apprentice. My mind is blown at the skill Kaitlyn shows. She is amazing, the aesthetic of the shop is awesome I immediately scheduled another piece. I can’t wait to go back
