1212 Studio

I’ve been getting tattooed by Wesley since I was 18 - I’m 24 now. He’s the only artist I’ve ever worked with in Kansas City, all of my other work has been done out-of-town.He’s done all of my geometric and mandala tattoos, we’re working on a half body suit now. Almost done with a full sleeve of my arm.I also have a couple of more neo-traditional and traditional things he’s done, I think I have 7 or 8 tattoos done by him.

Kila is professional, talented, and friendly. Her shop was clean, she was patient as I played with an idea, and even though this first one from her was small and quick, the shading and detail on my medium brown skin tone demonstrated her skill. I will definitely be heading back soon for a larger piece on my back!

Wesley does a fabulous job working through ideas with clients & executing exactly what you want, whether you know what you want or not! He is knowledgeable, kind & works efficiently. Highly recommend.Kila’s is a great place to hang out while having work done! Everyone is welcoming & excited about each other’s work.

Marques @Swavidotattoos is amazing and one of the best tattoo artists ever. He is respectful, and takes his time. He makes sure youre comfortable with how the tattoo will look before he even starts. Marques treats you like a person not just a canvas.

Kila’s dope, period. Professional but personable and her work speaks for itself. I’ll definitely be getting more work done by her.

I’ve been seeing Kila for years now, she is truly such a genuine soul an truly cares,Now when it comes to her work...Hands down the best female tattoo artist in Kansas CityShe’s done both my sleeves my back and a few other little pieces.Every tattoo I have looks fantastic actually immaculate.If I ever had to give a recommendation it would certainly be to her.Highly highly highly recommend

Absolutely phenomenal tattoo parlor! The atmosphere was very clean and professional, and my tattoo artist Noelle was literally the BEST artist Ive received a tattoo from across the states! She was able to sketch the exact tattoo I wanted from hand, and completed it with ease. All equipment was sterile from new packaging, and they even accommodated with high end proper aftercare. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the KC area, local or touring!!!

My dghtr and I went in for our consultation. Right then I knew we were coming back to get the tattoos. The whole process was smooth. She charges by the hour but works diligently with precision. My dghtr and I were in and out. Oh and my young og self aint bout that life so I had her put numbing cream on me which worked wonders! Already excited to go back for more!I waited till the next morning to leave a review to also describe what waking up was like. I cleaned it with summers eve and applied aquaphor before bed. Little to no pain waking up and barely sore while cleaning morning after! A+

Kila was super nice and professional. Staff was super friendly as well! Helped me cover up a scar on my leg that I’ve had for a few years. Highly recommend!

After 15 Years Of No Tattoos My 2 Dogs Passed And I Found This Jewel 💎 On The West Side. The Tattoo Work, The Professionalism, The Environment Everything About The Experience Made A Life Long Customer Out Of Me. I Started With 4 And 3 Years Later I’m Up Too 21. Highly Recommended….🤟🏾

From the first time I have came in and got my first tattoo done it has been nothing but professional. Kila has helped me out making sure everything was perfect! I woo be going back to her from here on out...

Kila took care of me for my first tattoo. She’s so honest and will have you looking right. She can definitely do ANYTHING you want her to do. She is so funny. Definitely will be back.

Marques swavido tattoos was really nice and kind to me. Made someone as old as me feel like I was young again.

Definitely my tattoo shop from now on. The energy..the vibe..the people... Lucas did great work, im definitely coming back to get more work done by him!

Doesn’t play about her business! I have been going to Kila for years now and she’s my only artist. Worth the price, quality work.

Kansas Citys first Black owned tattoo shop! Kila is an amazing artist.

She was amazing loved everything about her from her vibe, conversation and Kila’s ability to give my tattoo the pop that I was looking for.

I love my tattoos so much & cant stay out the mirror 😩💜 If i could give 10 stars I would. Glad i found this shop.

I LOVE HER , she’s dope and does really good work. Has a really good attitude, and professional. Environment clean and comfortable

Came into town with my family for the Chiefs game and walked-in and Marcus hooked me up. Will forsure stop in again.
