I have been to this shop multiple times and every time I walk out satisfied. They have never disappointed me. Melissa was my piercer today and she was great! She walked me through the process and made feel as comfortable as possible! I love it here and always recommend people come and get some work done here.

I had an amazing experience at La Plaza was pierced by Melissa she was very professional and attentive. I got 2 piercings (Marilyn and Belly button) which she executed perfectly and with very little discomfort. I would highly recommend her for any of your piercing needs. I also went on another occasion and got a tattoo from the artist Emanuel and he did an exceptional job! Keep up the good job guys!

My daughter came to get her nose pierced by Melissa and she did awesome. We were about to leave, but my daughter felt lightheaded and Melissa took amazing care of her. Made sure she had things to eat and drink, did some tests to where she felt okay to stand back up. She also gave me her number so I could text or call whenever if I had any questions about thr piercing. She told us how to take care of the piercing and went into great detail with everything. Took her time to make sure everything was perfect for us and made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. highly recommend her!!

I had an outstanding visit at La Plaza with piercer Melissa. She was very attentive, professional, and did an amazing job giving me a Medusa piercing. Ive had this piercing done poorly previously and Melissa executed the piercing flawlessly, I look great and am healing great. Highly recommended!!!!

I recently got an industrial piercing here and honestly it’s a great environment and everyone’s pretty nice and cool. Everything was pretty clean and the vibes were awesome. My only reason for not rating higher is because my piercing wasn’t pierced correctly and the earring that was used was way to small and it fit my ear super super snug and the screw in part was literally becoming embedded into my skin because of how tight it was on both sides of the piercing. I texted another shop about it and they made it a point to tell me that I should remove the piercing because it’s never going to heal right because the industrial was laid up against a ridge in my ear and the jewelry itself was becoming embedded. I’ve taken care of it every step of the way so there’s nothing else I could have done. I also wanted to state that I also got an eyebrow piercing and it’s so far went amazingly and I love it. So realistically it’s like a 50/50 situation. I will say however the piercer was such a sweet amazing lady who was amazing every step of the way. I’m sadly just disappointed it didn’t work out considering how much I paid.

Melissa did my third lobe and forward helix yesterday. Super sweet and very knowledgeable about the process and aftercare. Also, I didn’t even know it but Fridays they have a 2 for $50 standard pricing special! I’d been trying to decide between my third lobe or forward helix and that made the decision easy — why not both?! I’ll definitely be back if I decide I want some more bling!

Called and asked if they were doing walk ins and was told that we could come in at any time, when we got there the door was locked so we called again only to be hung up on. A guy came to the door and told us the lady who did piercings wasnt there, so why would she tell us we could come get pierced any time??

Review №54

Annie of La Plaza met me to discuss the addition of a tattoo to an ongoing piece. She then completely redid that piece and placed another written message tattoo on my other forearm. My old tattoo was brought back to life with its additional piece and fresh color. She plowed through 6 hour only stopping for my two cigarette breaks. The place is huge. The other artists were kind, dropping by to see the work when not working themselves.

I recently lost my GSD, Molly in January and so I wanted to commemorate her by getting a portrait tattoo of her. Annie did a phenomenal job of capturing my Molly and I am super happy with the result.

Annie is amazing! She is the only person I will be going to from now on. This shop is the place to be! Her talent is beyond words. She is an artist in every sense of the word! Her creativity, eye for detail and improvisation skills are off the charts!! She took my ideas and made each tattoo tells a story. My tattoos are beautiful and the experience was soulful.

Review №69

We stopped in to get piercings for my bridal day. Melissa did a double conch piercing for me. I was only going to do one at first because I was afraid of the pain. She took her time with assessing my ears and the proper placement for each piercing. She made sure that I was comfortable during the process and somehow managed to make my piercing rather painless. I didn’t renew up one bit! She is very knowledgeable in her work and the customer service provided from her was top tier!! Her thoroughness and ability to identify what is best for each persons anatomy is one that makes you want to look for a reason to come back to her. I am in love with my new piercings and still pretty much pain free. Walk-ins are welcome. Don’t walk in, run & ask for Melissa!! She truly exceeded my expectations!!

Been thinking about getting my nipples pierced for a while. Friends told me it was going to be the worst pain ever (worse than childbirth) and made me so nervous about the experience. So after building up the courage…I finally went on a Sunday! KC was very professional, patient, gentle, and understanding! I was nervous enough to ask for another person to hold my hand and he was kind enough to bring someone in to hold my hand for it. I’m very happy with my experience here, and for anyone thinking about getting their nipples pierced…just do it. It’s not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Especially when done by KC! Thanks!

Went in yesterday for the Friday the 13th specials. I got 2 piercings by Melissa. I was blown away with the care and attention to detail she provided me. There was a long line and I did not feel rushed one bit. Would recommend and I will definitely be back. She did my belly button and one of my left tragus. I will be returning for her to do my right one.

Very disappointed with la plaza tattoo, for a shop to be great at lettering tattoos I’m not sorry to say but I’ve been let down. not only did they mess up the scripture the Brat Marie also misspelled Forsake and hasn’t gotten back to me to fix it. there were a lot of things that went wrong but as a shop I’m very disappointed in you guys. And just to put it out there if you’re new at tattooing and don’t feel comfortable don’t just jump to anything for extra money I admire honestly more than anything

Annie is amazing! I walked in with a couple specific requests and she KILLED it! They are my 2 favorite pieces for sure! One is color and she put 4 different tones in very small spaces and it looks SOOOO GOOD! The other was a very strange request (I couldn’t find a tattoo online for her to reference) and she free handed it PERFECTLY! I am going back next week!

Had an amazing experience with Melissa on 10/13 for the Friday the 13th deals! Went in with two friends around 5 pm, was told it would be 2 hr wait for piercings and 4 hrs for tattoos. Signed our names n left numbers, was told they’d call us. Around 830 we go back, (3.5 hours later) and tell them we had signed up earlier, and they tell us that they’ve been super busy and unable to call everyone (that’s okay it’s fri the 13) and that we could sign up and they’d honor the deals the next day, or we could wait some more. We elected to wait, and about an hour later we are called back and 1 friend gets her tattoo worked on. She was only able to get one of the two she wanted, and no piercings because around 10 I had to take her back to her baby, so my second friend got hers while we left (told the artist we’d be back cause friend #2 and I still wanted piercings and I wanted my tattoo if possible) I came back around 11 and waited for the piercing some more. It was finally around 12 that Melissa came in and we found out she was the ONLY PIERCER there rocking out that whole day!!! She took us back and was SO kind and friendly, we discussed what I wanted (piercing on both sides of the nose) and how it would look because of my nose shape, and she was super patient as we adjusted one side multiple times to get it just right. She also hooked me up with a different piece of jewelry at no additional cost because of my anatomy, all while being literally exhausted. She gave me good aftercare tips and told me to text her if I had questions about ANYTHING. I’ve never felt so safe with a piercer in my life. They also let us honor the tattoo flash deal the next day since we didn’t have time, and Yvette/Marie was so funny and sweet and patient as I was dramatic about my first tattoo. She has a light touch and my tattoo looks great! The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because it was a little disorganized and kinda awkward being ushered around places in the shop while waiting on Friday, and the wait time was crazy, but honestly as a whole I’m not even mad cause it was a great day, and it ended up being very fun and memorable. Both days actually. P.s the taqueria close by is way better than the taco truck that was there on fri the 13th ;)

Review №93

I’ll start by saying Luis Ramirez is an amazing artist, I watched his work for over a year before I saved up enough money to start a sleeve with him. Finally got into my first appointment (was supposed to be a 6 hour appointment he had something come up after 2 hours) we got all the outlines done and everything looked great. I was super excited about it. I give him 100$ deposit to schedule the second appointment, drive a hour round trip, and he didn’t even show up or answer my calls. He finally got ahold of me and apologized and I thought whatever things happen. So we reschedule the appointment and when the day we rescheduled for came he ignored my messages all day long, finally got ahold of him, and he had some excuse on why he had to run out of town last second. Okay whatever I’m fine with it and we reschedule for a THIRD time. The THIRD rescheduled appointment time comes around and I message him several times if we are still good for the time (since he stood me up and wasted a hour drive the first time) and he would just read my messages and not reply. And then I checked his story 30 minutes before my appointment time it’s a picture of him putting a huge stencil on someone else. I finally gave up and am just going to live with a halfway done REALISM TATTOO on my arm. So bummed out about the deal as I looked forward to this for over a year. Never sent me my deposit back after blowing me off 3 times in a row. I’ve never dealt with a shadier person, just don’t make the mistake of signing up for a big piece of work with this dude, one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made in my life and just warning others so it doesn’t happen to them.EDIT: bros reply is 🧢 trust me I tried so hard to work with this man before giving up on it.

I would never go back. I got a septum piercing and later went with a friend to a different shop and had them look at it bc of the pain I was having. They looked at it and saw that LA Plaza Tattoos used the wrong type of jewelry when they pierced me, pierced me too low which lead to them piercing me through my cartilage. I would never go back. I had the most stressful experience and they didn’t seem like they knew what they were doing… my friend got a nostril piercing and they used the wrong jewelry to pierce her. It was way too short. When we walked on it smelt like someone had just lit up and it was horrible. The workers were going out and smoking then coming back in to work

Luis Ramirez was completely professional & took the time to listen to what I wanted and showed me what would look good to cover up some scars I had so I would feel more comfortable with my body. We still got some more work to do but I’m extremely happy with it so far. Not a heavy handed. I love how smooth my tattoo is. Thank you so much. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get some work done. Very professional and clean with some amazing Talented Artist!

Came in as a walk in with a vague idea ofWhat we wanted and Jose greeted us and helped us look for ideas and gave us his professional opinion which was very helpful and he tattooed me and my friend and was so kind, and patient; he had a great sense of humor and made the experience so fun, and did great work. He was a pleasure to work with and we appreciate him and his work so much. I would definitely recommend him and this shop in general. They also played great music :)! Thank you; we will definitely be back in the summer for more tattoos!! ❤️

Missing Ink is by far the best tattoo shop I’ve been to. Luis did my tattoo and it turned out better than I could ever imagine. All the tattoo artists are really nice and supportive of each other. The atmosphere of the shop itself was very lively, relaxing and vibrant. Luis did an amazing job but I would feel comfortable going to any of the artist there as I saw the work of multiple artists that day 💯.

I came in to get a tattoo and ended up getting serviced by Jose Vega. His artwork is fire and dude has some serious skill. He finished a piece for me that had a lot of emotional value to me and he killed it. 10/10 recommend.

My tattoo artist is Nuñez. I have never had a better experience at a tattoo shop. La Plaza is a dope organization overall. Diverse & welcoming, almost felt like I was back in Denver. My artist is Carlos, he’s friendly (all the staff is) & patient. I’ve been going to him since he started & he has the CLEANEST line work I’ve seen in Kansas. (Peep Luis portrait work too, CLEAN AF- will be going to him next)

Came in as a walk in with a friend to get tattoos. Jose greeted us and was super nice! We had a basic idea of what we wanted and he sat down with us and helped us find the perfect one.

Luis is one of the best, cleanest and funniest Tattoo Artists that I Have ever known. His table side manner is very disarming to assist in creating the calmest, most professional experience available today. Their shop is clean, neat and very sanitary. The other associates are also very clean and professional. It is great to see their growth through Luis instruction as and guidance. No better artist and Winner than Missing Ink Tattoo Parlor!!!

The Missing Ink is really the place! Love the work and the people who does them. The work will speak for itself. Nice, chill vibe. Luis is the owner (I have pieces done by him) and his beautiful fiancé Sasha also does permanent cosmetic tattooing and piercing. They are the full package, hit them up. I highly recommend this shop!

I got my tattoo done by Vibe Inkk. He was so nice and gave me a dope experience. He was super easy to work with and really put effort into achieving what I wanted, but also using his knowledge to recommend what was best for the tattoo. I have tattoos, so I know about pricing, so I think his price was reasonable. He also made sure to show me that the needle was brand new and didn’t expire any time soon. My friends that were with me also said that they loved his welcoming vibe and want to go back to get tattoos done by him!

I went and got a tattoo from Luis Ramirez my first appointment was January 17 at 3 o’clock apparently he over booked and had to finish someone else came and told me it’ll be an hour. 4 hours later I finally get to sit in a chair, but he has a headache and only wants to do the outline. Then went for my second appointment still didn’t get finished and for my third about I was duck and dodge for 3-4 days while getting my messages read and left on seen because he didn’t want to tell me he had a convention so I left it alone for 2-3 weeks. We finally get something scheduled go in having allergy problems still didn’t get finished. Finally my forth and final appointment July 3rd told me come at 11 and was 30 minutes late then on top of that was on the phone arguing with internet company for an hour. Dont get me wrong at all good tattoo artist good dude just not a good businessman at all. 3 stars cuz the work is really good but anything else 1 star

Review №149

I will give the establishment a 1, i read great reviews on how they welcome you, are very nice! Absolutely not the case i requested an appointment through FB they asked me which artist i wanted i requested two, then they confirmed the appointment, i said thanks, who will i be scheduled with from the two i requested left me on read. I arrive to my appointment a female was sitting in the front did not greet me, i said hello, i have an appointment get a nasty look. She said with who? told her another nasty face saying no. I show her the confirmation she walks back to a male Im going to guess its luis he says no! then calls me over asks me my name and said where did you make the appointment once again showed him the confirmation. He goes back and talks to an artist. And says come here she will take care of you! Should have left but decided to continue, i met gabs she was very sweet and professional. Made me feel comfortable in her chair after all that nasty attitude i dealt with. I give ink by gabs a 5 star and even though she is new she does such great work and has the sweetest vibe. I hope they can really take this review and work on their customer service skills and really make people feel welcomed.

Review №171

Ithad taken me a long time to find a shop/Artist who I thought would get the style I wanted. I found some of Luis work and some of the portraits hes done without color. I originally just went in and just told him the Style I wanted and gave him room to decide what he thought was best & let him play with it a little . he then showed me different options of what I had asked. BUT THEN he showed me the same idea of what I asked but in a different Style & Im so glad he did . Is a good size peice on my back with ALOT of detail. Im 2/3 sessions in and I cant wait to see it finished. The shop atmosphere is awesome they really do make you feel comfortable. I feel like they really can cater to all different kinds of people. I will keep coming back here

I was supporting a friend through his tattoo coverup. It was relatively quick and the design over the old was flawless. At one point, the artist had to choose an image that masked it well, and came up with a great and unique design. Very comfortable experience - I mean, I wasnt getting stuck...so that helped.

Review №182

One of the beginner artists in the shop apparently doesnt know tattoos very well, this person must not know how to draw because they use other artists designs without their consent, using artwork that they know has already been tattooed. .I dont want a tattoo that will be stolen and misrepresented on other people, tattoos should be personal and uniqueÉcrire à Delphine Chu Debuire
