Taylor gave me my absolute favorite tattoo! It’s healing perfectly. She was so nice, respectful, and accommodating. Will never go anywhere else!
Just outstanding. I had some work done on my leg by Taylor, whos easily one of the cleanest and most efficient tattoo artists Ive ever been to. The work was on my shin and was carried out with minimum fuss and incredible precision. I also really appreciated that shed prepared options for me before I turned up. Shes also really lovely, and a great conversationalist! The space is airy and beautifully decorated. Highly recommended.
Had an amazing tattoo done by Taylor, I couldnt be happier with it!! She was so kind and professional, her art is top notch. All the other shop employees are great as well. The only shop Ill go to!
I came here two years ago to get my oldest daughters nose pierced and again today to get my other daughters nose pierced.Alyssa was amazing both times. Explained everything really well. She took her time to make sure they were comfortable and made sure they were happy with their placement. I recommend this place every time I talk to someone about piercings and/or tattoos.
Taylor did my tattoos and i absolutely love all three of mine. She has such a delicate hand and keeps it all almost completely painless. Her lines are so pretty and I cant see myself getting a tattoo from anyone else
Today, I took my almost 6 year old daughter to Alyssa for her first ever ear piercing. We had a consultation last week to make sure she knew what it all entailed, as well as validating her lobe piercing as her own choice.Alyssa was so kind and explained to her what would be going on every step of the way. I would recommend her to anyone for any piercing because of her sanitation skills, professionalism, and ability to educate in an easy way to understand.My daughter is very happy with her new earrings! Thank you Alyssa!
Today I had my third tattoo done by Taylor and I’m already planning for the next one! She is incredibly talented, friendly and makes me feel comfortable whenever I’m in her chair. I drive an hour to see her and I will continue to do so in order to have her!
Alyssa was absolutely amazing with my piercing! She talked me through the entire process and made me feel super comfortable. Amazing experience overall!
Its good that the majority had a good experience. However, I didnt have a good experience. They didnt do my tattoo as I requested. In addition, it has crooked lines. They didnt shade it as I requested and they changed the design to what we had talked about before getting the tattoo done. tattoo. Now I will have to pay somewhere else to fix it
Taylor is a super talented artist! Very easy to communicate with and makes you feel super comfortable and involved in the process so you love the work you’re getting.
The price definitely matches the outcome. I asked for a tattoo of my moms artwork on my spine, and it came out exactly as hers was and the coloring, line work, size, and overall product was better than I could have asked for. My mother was also super impressed and honored with the tattoo. Eli is a phenomenal artist, easy to talk to, keeps a great pace, and is an outstanding artist and human. I would 10000% come to him again. Thank you so much!
I dont like needles or pain, but Taylor was super patient and helped me get through it, I might get a second tattoo because she was so nice and patient and I love how it looks
I have had 4 tattoos done by Taylor now, and they are all amazing! the vibe is just super nice and friendly there, 10/ 10 recommend
I had an amazing experience up and down the line with Evil Genius Tattoo Club. From receptionist to appointment and out the door. They are clean, respectful, and hyper-experienced: You are in good hands!!!I can only speak on one of their piercing professionals (Charly Lowe), but the maturity and respect given by this professional rivals some of the best. This is the place to go if you want confidence in your piercing.
I have 3 tattoos now and they were done here and by Taylor!! She is detailed, gentle and one amazing artist!! Can’t wait to go back soon to see Taylor ♥️
Just got my tattoo yesterday and it turned out better then I imagined. Eli was amazing. Very professional and very clean place. Thank you so much Eli.
Got a sick bmo tattoo by their new artist Taylor, not only did she do an amazing job, being my first tattoo she was gentle and made sure I knew what was going on along the process. I would highly recommend going here as the environment itself and surrounding staff were just as awesome.Update: Ive gone back a few times and the vibes never fail. Seriously cant recommend this place and Taylor enough, she absolutely killed both my wrist tats and any other projects Ive brought her way!
Update:The owner called me and offered to have someone fix my tattoo for free. Jarod even out the lines and the tattoo looks better now, although it is still not perfect. They were both defensive of Flip and some comments made me feel guilty about my original review which made the experience of getting my tattoo fixed a little awkward. I still cannot recommend Flip to anyone because of the way he treated me during my appointment and the way he treated two of my friends, but I appreciate that the owner called me to try to fix the situation so I decided to change my review. I now gave Evil Genius 4 stars instead of the original 1 star.I attached four pictures. One of the design, two of the original tattoo Flip made, and one of the tattoo after it was even out by Jarod (still covered by film). My main complaint about the tattoo is the little weird wrist and hand in the right side which do not look proportional or anatomically correct.-------------Original review:I had an appointment with Flip Mills in September 2022 for a small, fine line tattoo on my forearm. It was a really bad experience, and I ended up with a mediocre tattoo.I arrived on time to my appointment but I had to wait for him for 30 minutes! I was not given any explanation or apology. That started our appointment in a bad way. He then showed me the design he had made, and it was very different from the picture I sent him a few weeks before. I told him I wanted something more similar to what I originally sent, which annoyed him, and he made me wait even longer to redo the design. He was hurrying me up to clean my skin, get up on the chair, and he was not approachable at all for questions. My tattoo didnt end up looking great, it is not as good as the design I sent him, and the line is not uniform. I actually pointed out some errors right after he finished and he corrected some but not all. I left not tip and I do not plan to go back to Evil Genius ever again.My friend got a tattoo with him a few days later and he completely changed the pricing and design right at the time of the appointment, compared to the lower pricing he offered during a previous consultation.There are way better tattoo artists in Lafayette that are much nicer than this guy.
Taylor always does amazing on fine line tattoos and creates a very safe and comfortable environment. she’s very demure, very mindful 😊
Ive been to Evil Genius three times now and each time has been perfect! The first time was for two piercings with Charly, the second time was to get a downsizing with Sam, and then the third time was my first tattoo with Flip!Each time everyone was professional, fun, inviting, and thorough. I left each time with a clear understanding on how to care for my piercings and jewelry and how to care for my new tattoo.In my opinion pricing is fair as well, especially since (from my experience) everyone knows what they are doing and makes the effort to ensure things are done correctly.Definitely my go-to shop from now on for future tattoos and piercings.
Ive had some tattoos in past...I wanted a tattoo of my dog. Eli nailed it! Best tattoo experience ever, just nailed not just the tattoo but whole thing all around!
Best experience for piercings I could have asked for. Alyssa is very knowledgable, clean and through with her work. The quality is very much worth the price. I will be going here for every piercing I get in the future.
So I have had a few Tattoos by Soldier Mike he has done an amazing job on a cover-up the pictures are down below. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family, my husband also goes we both have enjoyed all the work that he has had done. Soldier Mike does not just do a fast job he actually cares about his work, and wants only the best to come out of the shop.Thank you Mike🤗 these are the after pictures soon as I find the before picture I will definitely post it. I think a little bit of touch up is due from some black lines coming through but otherwise an amazing job. The tattoo on my chest turn my wounds into wisdom was new not a cover-up, and I am looking forward to getting more added to it thanks to the best shop in Lafayette. Very professional by the way and clean always a plus.
Went in to get my daith pierced by Alyssa. She was just amazing. She was very professional and her communication was 5/5. She detailed everything she was doing and all of the aftercare.Highly recommend her for your piercings 😊
Little expensive but you pay for quality. Very friendly and professional staff that all make some dope art. Got tattoos from flip and Taylor and they were both great
Amazing shop!!! Great, friendly environment!! Chris did my tattoo and he was PHENOMENAL! It was better than I could’ve imagined!!! He was friendly, kind, and hilarious as well!!! Would definitely recommend his work!!
Piercer was fantastic! She was extremely professional and explained everything to me in detail as if I was going into a surgery, even though I was only getting a belly button piercing. It made me feel much more comfortable and I trusted her. She took the time to really examine my belly button and spent a very long time measuring and drawing out lines with a ruler to get the placement of the piercing exact. She changed her gloves many times and was extremely cautious to keep everything sanitary. Would highly highly recommend and would go here again!!
I am not new to tattoos but this was my first time with Evil Genius and I could not be more impressed from the start to the finish. My consultation with Eli for a water color design was exciting and I left confident that he would give me the perfect memory paw print.When it was time to take the design from the iPad to the canvas everything went brilliantly. From the studio being clean with clean lines/no clutter, all staff being kind, to the start of the tattoo process-everything was flawless.Once Eli started the tattoo the next 2 hours were easy, his attention to detail is incredible, his eye for water color placement is outstanding, I have never seen a watercolor piece so clean.The final product was beyond what I expected, Eli gave me the perfect rainbow paw print. The healing process has been the easiest I have ever experienced. I encourage all future tattoo works be done with Eli, he is a one of a kind.
Taylor helped transform a tattoo that was not my favorite into something that I am in love with forever. What I wanted to hide before I now am really excited to show once it fully heals. ❤️
Award winning professional artists make you feel at home here. I go here for all of my tattoo work. The moment you walk in the people are friendly and helpful in assisting with piercings or tattoo selection. The artists here are great at designing a one of a kind piece of artwork for you. I highly recommend Evil Genius.
*will add more photos in time*Best tattoo experiences have been here! Eli has done two of mine now, and I cant imagine needing another artist. The price and the wait are WORTH IT. Everyone has always been so friendly, super fun to talk to if youre laying in one of their chairs for hours! I brought headphones for my last session just in case and never even touched them. I cannot recommend this shop enough.
This shop is awesome—everytime i go there they take care of whatever i need. Eli took the time to make sure he knew exactly what i wanted and Taylor has done some great tattoo work on me as well. They are all super nice and willing to work with the customer. The artwork and design of the shop is pretty cool also..definitely a clean/professional place to go…highly recommend!
I had a touch up appointment with Eli Roe today. This is the third time I have had work done with Eli and as with every time, the service and artistry is outstanding! I appreciate his professionalism and courtesy and look forward to my next tattoo appointment that I already have scheduled for October. The shop is clean, everyone is friendly, and I cannot recommend Evil Genius enough!
Alyssa is always great and I only come to her for all my piercings. She’s always very thorough and walks me through every step of the process every single time. She answers all my questions honestly and professionally and has great input for my future piercing ideas. I never mind spending a little more for great quality and service.
Evil Genius is fabulous! It’s impeccably clean and the art and vibe are engaging. Everyone working here is personable and helpful; I believe they make each customer feel valued. Alyssa changed out my nose piercing jewelry and gave me useful information about future piercings and jewelry. She’s knowledgeable and easy to talk with. She also has some unique, gorgeous, high quality jewelry to choose from. Flip inked two small tattoos for me and honestly it was one of the best tattoo experiences I’ve had. He’s talented, no-nonsense, considerate, and interesting. I’ll definitely be returning for more art from Flip. My tattoos look fantastic and they healed up like a charm. And while the name of the fella who manages the appointments/front desk is escaping me….he, too, is wonderful! Super friendly and helpful. Evil Genius is everything you could hope for in a tattoo/piercing experience, in my opinion.
I have been wanting to get an industrial for the past two years. Glad I did it here, my coworker had her helix pierced and recommended I come to Evil Genius. The piercer is Alyssa. She is absolutely AMAZING and extremely knowledgeable. She talked me through each and every step before she did it. The piercing went smoothly and the atmosphere she created was great. Definitely will be back in the near future. 10/10 👍🏾
I love the tattoo I got and how the process went. This was my first tattoo and they were very nice and helped me get through the process. The artist that did my tattoo was Taylor and she was understanding of my nerves and made the process much easier for me
Got a helix piercing done here and had a great experience! Alyssa was very nice and took time to explain everything. Would definitely recommend.
Eli is awesome. Very professional and detailed. You definitely get what you pay for with him. Love the vibe in the shop. Everyone there is very professional and really seem to care about what they do. Highly recommend.
Our appointment was with Alyssa for a nose piercing. Every step of the process was great - flawless communication, great instructions, and impeccably clean/ sterile environment. Highly recommend Evil Genius!
I received a piercing in both ears from Alyssa. There was very professional service and I am more than satisfied with the results. I was walked through every step of the process and she was more than happy to answer any questions I had during the piercing process. Would recommend if you need a piercing in the Lafayette area.
Great, clean, reasonably priced for the work they do. Alyssa (piercer) was amazing in helping me with my problems! my 2 year old navel that hadn’t healed finally healed because of them!
Eli is amazing and was worth every second and dollar. Best service you could get and Wouldn’t recommend anywhere else!
Had such a great experience with my helix piercing this weekend! Super thorough, well explained, but efficient. Alyssa was friendly, relatable, and super helpful through the whole process!
I cannot recommend Evil Genius enough for your piercing needs! I got my nose pierced in September, and everyone there was extremely professional and welcoming. I was a little nervous, but Charly, the piercer, made me feel very, very comfortable. She explained every step before she did it, and made sure I was ready. I was well taken care of, and theyll have my business for future piercings and tattoos.8/2/2022: Coming back to edit my review as Ive now gotten three tattoos here, all from Flip. He is an excellent, excellent artist and I could not recommend him more! He is extremely talented and passionate, and I truly have the best tattoo experiences with him. Evil Genius as a whole is an awesome place; I will continue to return for future ink endeavors. Thank you for creating such a cool environment with an artist like Flip, EG!
Alyssa was great. She walked me through the whole process and my piercings look great. I will definitely be going back for my next piercing.
Nice shop that is clean and inviting. Talented artists and will be getting ink done soon. I will update my review once work is completed.
Everyone was so nice and chill. The shop was super clean and the music and atmosphere all together was so comforting. Eli did my tattoo and he had such a gentle hand and it went so much faster than I thought it would take! It was a great first tattoo experience and I would definitely chose him and the shop again if I decide to do another tattoo.
Mad-E is absolutely amazing!! Im so glad to have found her. The work she does is phenomenal! Not to mention she has a light hand and is quick. Definitely worth every penny! And the shop itself has great vibes and njudgements. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable.
I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience here! Ive gotten tattoos at four different shops over the past few years and this was by far the most professional and welcoming place. They make the process very easy and I love my tattoo.
This was such a great experience! The atmosphere was amazing! I had my first ever tattoo done by Alexis and she made sure I was ok and enjoying the experience! I will definitely come here again, highly recommend, especially if your nervous for your first tattoo!
I got my first tattoos with Alexis. She was very helpful with deciding where was best to put them and size. She told me step by step what she was doing. I felt very welcomed and relaxed. I will be coming back to get another tattoo as soon as I can. Highly recommend!!
I have been here twice now, once for a tattoo (which was set up by one of my friends so I did not attend a consultation) and another for a tattoo consultation (I will receive the tattoo later in June)! I loved my experience here, the staff is friendly, funny, and VERY talented!!! It’s a welcoming environment and the artist walked through the tatting process before I got my tattoo and he reassured me on everything!!! Amazing studio and I 10/10 recommend them!
Came in kind of nervous about getting the first tattoo. The staff was amazing and so nice, and Eli Roe is a great artist and a guy too. I was stiff and awkward but he was nice and very chill, helped me calm down too. Theyre also highly organized with appointments and how they handle check ins.
Got my ears pierced here. Lyss was great and really knowledgeable about what she does. Highly recommend.
Got my first tattoo at the Evil genius tattoo club and they were so understanding and answered my questions and when I had to reschedule my appointment they said that it was alright. I would like to also thank Alexis for taking my idea and flipping it upside down and improving it 💯 percent! I love it! So much better than what I had invisoned. I hope to come back and get another one soon. Thanks again, Sonja.
I accompanied my friend to get his first tattoo and we were blown away. The shop is impeccably clean, and the vibes are very chill. I was perfectly happy sitting for three hours while my friend got inked because its a comfortable, relaxed space.The staff was great, and the artist/owner (Krist Karloff) did excellent work on the tattoo itself. My friend was totally at ease the entire time and is thrilled about the work Krist did.
Ive had several piercings done by Charly and shes the absolute best! Shes so sweet, patient, and knowledgeable. She has an awesome selection of jewelry and really takes the time to explain the process and what to expect. I wont go to anyone but her!
Alyissa is absolutely amazing! The best piercings I have ever had! The club has a wonderful friendly inviting vibe. I highly recommend 😊
They are simply amazing. The young lady who done my upper lip and both sides of my nose all the same time, she is so gentle and does a great job, my jewelry,my piercings all are great no problems at all. The while establishment is so clean and everything they do or use us sterile they show you as they go and they have some of the best jewelry, for those who have piercings and long nails like I do they have new jewelry that snaps in not screw on and its so much more easier and they all match and looks fabulous.... Thank you I will tell everyone.. you guys are great.Just so u know its by appointment only and they are doing temperature checks and everything to keep it safe and clean for them and us.... Go see them.... EVIL GENIUS .. downtown on main St
I went here to get my ears pierced by alyssa. she was super friendly. when she was doing the piercing, she walked me through everything she was doing step-by-step. she clearly takes a lot of pride in her work and is very thoughtful, even about simple piercings like mine were. im in love with the result. im not an expert on this stuff, but the pricing seemed more than reasonable to me. also, this place was cleaner than a doctors office
Absolutely in love with my Septum done by Charly! She was so informative and helpful! By far the best piercing experience I’ve had and very clean and sterile with her techniques! Definitely will be coming back to have more done in the future!
My daughter had been wanting to get her ears pierced for awhile now. I looked around town and read reviews to land on this shop and Im glad I did. For someone that is younger they first sit down with them to make sure they understand the process and arent scared to proceed. Charly did a great job calming my daughters nerves, carefully explaining each step and took her time to make sure everything was right. I highly recommend this shop if you are looking for piercings, especially for a younger child.
Everyone in the shop had a great attitude, everything was super clean and they were very serious about keeping everything sanitary. My artist was Eli, he did an amazing job taking a basic idea and turning to into an outstanding tattoo. Everyone was great to talk to and it was cool to see some amazing tattoos come to life while waiting or getting yours worked on. Would highly recommend to experienced and first timers alike.
Environment was super chill and Chris did and amazing job. Was also really good at making sure you’re taken care of with water or breaks if you need them.
Overall it was a good experience, everyone was nice and friendly. i had 3 tattoos prior and never needed numbing cream not even for my shin but with the tattoo i got it was a little more painful, they offered me their TAC it worked really well. however i do think it was a little expensive for it being 20$ for a small packet. Also, there was a bit of difficulties with my scheduling but they were able to get me in quickly after that issue.
The best tattoo shop in Lafayette! Davion is fantastic- he knew what I wanted in a tattoo better than I did and exceeded every expectation I had in a tattoo and the experience in general. Everybody in the shop gives the BEST customer service and makes you feel welcomed in their shop, and it is so great how much they all give back in the community with being present at Mosey and their annual fundraiser. Highly, highly recommend Evil Genius!
Very pleased, wonderful atmosphere, friendly would recommend.
I got my first tattoo in March and traveled all the way from NYC because the reviews and art work were so good. The manager and artist both said that I have a yr of free touch ups. I got a small tattoo and didn’t think I would need it. However once that tattoo started healing the ink faded. Six months later I try to schedule a touchup and the manager basically said that if I wanted to get a touchup that he would charge me for. I called and he was extremely nasty to me and didn’t try to come up with a solution. I regret going there and I will be speaking to lawyers about that corrupt business policy.
Went to get tattooed and was certain the man was drunk while tattooing me.... took 45 minute smoke breaks and lasted way longer than it needed to. Came in to get the tattoo finished and someone else there ended up just reworking it. It turns out, the artist was fired later, so I figured we would give them more chances since they were obviously trying to resolve the problem (even the reworking appointment was also a nightmare because the artist was acting like a jerk the whole time - taking his anger on the other artist out on me with his poor attitude). You simply cannot escape the endless sexual jokes and uncomfortable banter from the artists. Definitely a shop that not all clients will feel comfortable in and strongly a tattooer boys club atmosphere that is not female friendly. I brought my friend in to get her first tattoo and between the two artists sexual jokes (TOWARDS HER), she walked out almost in tears. And let me clarify, I have been to this shop a total of nearly 7 times and it gradually got much much worse each visit. The final straw was my sister going for a piercing on the bridge of her nose and ending up have to get it removed that day by another shop, because it was very crooked (vertically and horizontally). I am not one to leave a nasty review and I gave them many many chances. I am normally an incredibly understanding person who gives people the benefit of the doubt until the end of time, but I have had SO many concerning experiences here, I would be remiss if I didnt provide my input for others. And I have had more bad experiences that I am not going to take the time to type.
One of the best, if the THE best piercing palor Ive been to so far! Super friendly and helpful staff, BEAUTIFUL studio. 10/10 I would absolutely come againEdit: Yesterday I came in to get my very first tattoo! It was a very exciting experience and I couldntve asked for better results. The tattoo came out exactly how I wanted it to
Been here so many times for piercings and Charly has been awesome to work with. She’s always nice and I never judged about being there or like I wouldn’t belong in there. They are doing really well with checking temperatures and hand washing before you go in too and not to mention really beautiful jewelry for piercings.
The tattoo artist misunderstood me when I said what I wanted. I should have questioned the coloring then and there, but I had no idea that it wasn’t colored because when I looked at the picture it had a blue tint to it. I thought it would get darker. And when I came back to get it fixed she was totally rude, hateful and actually more or less said if I didn’t like it leave!!! Wanted to charge me almost the same amount as the first time. $315.00 for a butterfly tattoo the size of a half dollar. Whatever happened to the customer is right. This whole situation has made getting my first tattoo a bad experience.
I got a tattoo from Eli Roe a month ago. It was a black and grey design about 2in on my upper left arm. It healed very well!Everyone in the shop was professional and friendly. I had a great experience both during my consultation session and tattoo session.Recommend!
I had my septum pierced by Charly it was amazing!!! She is professional and friendly. I love my piercing so much. The shop is super clean and they asked me to wash my hands after entering. They made me feel so welcomed. Charly explained her procedures and washed her hands multiple times. She did it free hand which, at first I was skeptical about since all the clamp videos on YouTube. But the outcome was so great. Bought a saline solution too. By far the best piercing experience!!!Got a nostril!!! Love the flat back jewelry!!!Got a tragus!!! The positioning is wonderful!!!
First time having a tattoo done here, very clean, professional, and made me feel welcome. The tattoo artist, Flip Mills, worked with me and the tattoo could not have been closer to the photos I brought in. Very happy with the experience, would definitely recommend!
I went to Evil Genius for the first time ever to get a tragus and helix piercing. I liked the friendly/relaxed atmosphere. Everyone was professional. I received an apprentice piercing from Sam with Charly observing and guiding. Again it was a relaxed experience. They were both super friendly, professional and answered all my questions. I love that they follow APP standards for a clean and sterile environment. I would definitely recommend Sam or Charly for a piercing!
Even with Covid spoiling a lot of things, Evil Genius still manages to serve their customers in a safe and professional manner. I never have to be worried about the level of quality/performance of the artists there and I enjoy chatting with other clients there too. Its a great place to nerd out and be yourself while getting great quality ink! Thank you as usual guys! Youre the best.
So far Ive had a piercing and a back piece done here, and both times its gone as smoothly as possible. I came in with a rough idea of what I wanted, and Davion was extremely helpful. He stayed true to the concept I wanted, adding his own flair to fit his style, and it turned out great! I cant wait to have more work done here. Extremely fair pricing for the quality of work done here.
I had an amazing experience here. Great customer service and an amazing piece of art I can have with me forever. I love their work and will definitely be back
Ive had 3 tattoos done here so far and they all turned out beautifully! The artists are friendly, the shop is clean, and I will DEFINITELY be coming back! It is a little on the pricey side, but in my opinion the work is worth it!
Ive gotten some beautiful work done at Evil Genius and have several friends with similar glowing experiences. The staff is 100% professional, supportive of your design vision, and eager to make your vision a reality. Wouldnt dream of going anywhere else! They are absolutely worth the investment.
Excellent work by Flip! Comfortable atmosphere, professional personnel, trendy but not obnoxious, and easy to locate. Flip did amazing work and was happy to adjust the design exactly the way I wanted it.The pic is from the day I got it so the clear adhesive bandage is on. Its difficult to tell but the words are aligned with scars on my wrist. Its been a week and its healing wonderfully.
I got my septum done this past week and Allysa was amazing!! She was super nice and told me everything that was going on as she was doing it. Her room was super clean and the vibe was very nice!! I recommend her!!
I had a great experience here! They made sure I was well informed about the process and that the tattoo was exactly what I wanted. Im nearly a month out from my tattoo and it looks amazing!
Flip is a brilliant artist. Super considerate. Patient and a light hand. The staff are extremely nice and have great consideration for their clientele. On top of all of that, this is an extremely clean and well kept studio. Would recommend to anyone.
I got my eyebrow pierced by Charly and her apprentice Samantha. The shop was clean and very unique, I was super impressed by it. Charly and samantha where warm and very comforting they treated me like we were best friends☺. I was very glad I chose Evil Genius!
Ive gotten tattoos from both Flip and Chris Scott, and both were excellent artists who did great work. Id be back regularly if I still lived in the area.
Easy from start to finish. 🙏🏽 I love it! Thanks Flip!
I lost my big sister back in July. I knew I wanted her signature on my wrist. I actually cried when Eli was done. It is exactly what I pictured in my head and he was able to do it in about 5 minutes. I highly recommend them. They take your health and safety seriously. I will be booking an appointment when I’m ready for my next tattoo for sure! Thank you Eli! I hope I spelled your name right.
This shop was Amazing! Loved the atmosphere and my Artist Mad-e did a beautiful job! I absolutely love it! ❤
I just got a daith piercing this afternoon. Not sure if it will help my migraines (not that I wouldnt mind a placebo effect), but at least I have a pretty piercing! It was super busy with a tattoo special going on, but they got me right in, only had to wait a few minutes. Mike took me back to the piercing room, he was totally awesome, just chatted the whole time. The piercing itself was one of the lesser painful ones I have experienced, and that went through cartilage. He took great care to clean it, and answer any questions I had, and told me not to hesitate to call if I have more questions. Amazing shop, super friendly, efficient, but thorough. Definitely would recommend to anyone thinking of getting a piercing done(or even a tattoo, if their tats are as good quality as their piercing)
I made a spur of the moment decision to get a tattoo done, and they accommodated me very well. The artist took my original idea, and made it into something way better than I had previously envisioned! They were nice and professional when I had reached the end of my pain endurance, which was reassuring to me. Would recommend to any friend!
Unbelievably unprofessional experience with my artist. Firstly, he tried to have me pay and leave with an unfinished tattoo. An argument was necessary for him to say that the piece was not finished and agree to do a second session. Secondly, he charged me what I said my absolute maximum price could be (should have expected that). Thirdly, I showed up to my second appointment to be told he is out of town and would have to reschedule (and be put at the back of his waiting list). Months later, I show up to my rescheduled appointment only to wait in the waiting room for 2 1/2 hours, expecting to be blown off again. I was terribly afraid I would not get a finished piece. Would not recommend.
Best experience at a shop I’ve ever had! They have a great comfortable atmosphere. Davion did a wonderful job on my tattoo and we all shared a lot of laughs. Definitely a fun experience and I’m already looking forward to going back for my next one.
I went an had Soldier Mike do my very first tattoo. I came in with a very crappy drawing and Mike turned it into something Im proud to wear. We got back relatively quick and Mike just made the entire experience very relaxed. He just talked and made jokes the whole time. He did really great keeping my arm cleaned up and had no problem tattooing me with a bleeding disorder and said not to hesitate to call with any questions. Definitely recommend and we will be back.
Our experience was great! Săip was very helpful and informative consulting my husband and I on what our expectations and what he suggests would look best! Thats what a good artist does! Thats why we came to Evil Genius! They came highly recommended. And depending on the type of body art you are looking for, depends on the artist that best fits your expectations and their specialty in the piece you choose. I also like the fact that they charge by the hour. The way I look at it, you get what you pay for. If you are willing to endure it, you will get the best results by taking the time to perfect your piece. Great art takes time! I cant wait to get started!! Thank you Evil Genius for a good experience!(This is the piece Im looking to get, with Săip expert guidance, it will be bad ass)
Had my nose pierced by apprentice Samantha while under instruction and supervision of Charly! Both of them were incredibly sweet and easygoing. You can tell Charly is very knowledgeable in what she does and Samantha did an amazing job. 10/10
Got a tat from Krist and Im pretty sure I got more compliments on my new tattoo at my wedding recently than my dress! Amazing work and a fun bunch of guys at the shop to chit chat with while you get your work done. I drove 3.5 hours to this shop and it was 100% worth it.
I went here for my tattoo and my artist Eli was amazing! He was very professional, gave me some breaks to help me along and told me some good ideas for my next one. I will definitely be back to get more tattoos in the future!
I didnt receive any services, however I went in with a friend who was getting pierced by Charly. I was blown away by the atmosphere of the club but also the friendliness, professionalism & expertise of not only Charly but ever staffer I interacted with. Should I ever decide on another tattoo/piercing, Evil Genius will be the only choice!
Krist was my artist. He was an hour late to my consultation, and almost 2 hours late for my tattoo, and rescheduled finishing my tattoo twice before I gave up on him. He is a great artist but not worth the headache he will give you.
Alissa was GREAT, very considerate of everything she did.
I setup an appointment and went in for my first-ever piercing. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and the place had an awesome vibe. The process was quick and every question I had as a newbie was answered. When I get my first tattoo, Ill be returning here.
Alyssa made the entire experience comfortable and easy! I appreciate all the steps they walk you through to show sterilization and safety steps. Will definitely be using them again!
Charly was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I couldnt be happier with my daith piercing. I look forward to come back for additional piercings, quality jewelry, and fantastic service. Thank you Charly and Evil Genius Tattoo Club!
Absolutely the worst customer service and tattoo shop I have been to in my 20 years of getting tattoos. I would not recommend. I never got my deposit back for a unfinished messed up tattoo. The owner had an attitude that his time was more valuable than mine. He never communicated with me even though I called several times to talk to him about my tattoo. It was his artist that messed up my tattoo and the owner Krist took over because of it then Krist didnt even follow through. The art work is sub-par for the amount you pay. Again customer service was extremely poor. The scheduling is the worst I have ever dealt with. Constantly came up with excuses as to why they forgot I was scheduled, they scheduled construction during my appt so they canceled, etc. KRIST was extremely unprofessional. He wouldnt take responsibility for his employees or his work. Krist even left me laying on the table while he went to talk to some guy outside.. for a whole hour. Btw he charged me for that time.
Got an eyebrow piercing with Charly Lowe and the experience was wonderful. Charly is extremely friendly and professional, and offers wonderful options for jewelry. Definitely will be going back for another piercing, I absolutely loved their work.
SCAM!!!! This place will take your deposit for a tattoo and never provide any services for you. They feel protected by a small disclosure on their receipt that says Deposits are non-refundable They made me put down a deposit to save my spot for my tattoo. They mis-scheduled my appointment and made no attempt to fix the situation. Not even reschedule the time they had mistakenly scheduled me for because Id still be at work and would not be able to make the appointment. They blocked my messages, wasted my time, took my money, and were completely disrespectful! This place gives local tattoo shops a bad name please spend your HARD EARNED MONEY some where else!
So I originally took my initial post down, but having gone to another shop, I learned that their piercer was just looking for money. She was not professional enough to just tell me no, this will be way to small for your nose. She just did it. I wouldn’t recommend going here for any type of piercing!
Saw Eli for my first piece. He came up with an incredible design for what I wanted and was super accommodating. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning in the future!
Wanted to get my nipples repierced, Miss Charly Lowe took care of me. Everyone was very helpful, the atmosphere was awesome. I wished I lived back at home in Lafayette or closer, I have some ideas I may want to get soon... I also wanted to wish Miss.Charly Lowe a wonderful happy birthday 😘 😘 😘, hope you enjoy your day!!!!!! Congratulations to you as well, keep ur head up and keep moving forward!!!! Also can’t wait to order more jewelry when the swelling goes down!!!
Davion Ellis is a true creative genius! I came in to the shop with an idea for a memorable tattoo and he turned it into a beautiful work of art! He was professional through the entire process and I could not have asked for a better experience! I now know exactly who to go to when I need more work done. Thanks Davion.
This is the only place I will go from here on out. The treat u like family. I got my front neck tat started and it looks amazing and they good price. I have tattoos from a bunch of shops and Im most happy with these guys they will finish the rest of my tattoos their amazing tattoo family.
After two sessions costing me $1,000 (+250 for a tip) I had my last session (approximate hour long finish up/touch up session) scheduled a couple days before shut down for covid 19 and was told it will be free of charge, I was pumped about that & just planned on leaving another $100 for a tip. I call to reschedule after they re-opened and they now tell me theyre going to charge me cause the guy that did my tattoo quit... Now my tattoo in memory of my father who just passed away is unfinished, I refuse to go back there cause thats shady and extremely unprofessional! GO ELSEWHERE!
David did an amazing job on my tattoo, and i am in love with it! He was super helpful, patient, and worked with my budget. i will definitely come back to him for my next tattoo!
Charly, the piercer, knows her stuff but unfortunately the customer service at this shop is lacking.The first time I came in the man at the front desk ignored me and my boyfriend and carried on a conversation for a few minutes while we waited at the front desk. I had hoped that the wait was a one time thing but it was not.Three weeks later I came back to get a jewelry post changed out. I was hoping it would be a quick thing when I was down town but it took over 10 minutes of standing at the front desk just to be greeted and asked what I needed despite employees walking around and seeing me waiting.Im very disappointed and will not be returning.
I dont just have a tattoo, I have a work of art on my back. Krist knew how to take my idea to the next level to create a truly unique combination of art and science. He has respect for both art and his clients and I have enjoyed my 12 hours with him so far.
They took very good care of me and my piercings made sure they were perfect and took extra steps to make me feel like more than just a client! Amazing place to go to and I highly recommend.
I had a wonderful experience with Charly as my piercer. She was very helpful and super friendly. She made sure that my paired nostril piercings were just right.
This was my first tattoo at Evil Genius Tattoo Club and my second tattoo by Krist Karloff. This tattoo shop is super charming and clean. Theres a lot of love put into this shop, and it shows!My first tattoo healed beautifully, and Krist was available to answer all of my many questions/concerns. The same attention to detail from Krist was also applied to my second tattoo, and I cant wait to see how it heals!If youre in the market for a high-quality piece, Evil Genius Tattoo Club is the place to be!
Evil Genius is the best place to get a tattoo job done in Lafayette Indiana. Plus they have the experience and a whole lot of beautiful products for tattoo aftercare. The staff treat u like family and its a whole lot like getting ur tattoo done at home cuz the ambience in the shop is the bomb! I went from feeling like a customer to feeling like I belonged to the place! Kudos to Shawn Festiva and my tattoo artist Davion for coming thru with such an awesome experience!
Awesome Tattoo club! People here are great and they give great tats!
Amazing! The artists and receptionist are so kind and funny. Amazing, talented artists and would be the first tattoo club Id recommend to everybody. I love my tattoo!! Would definitely go there again.
Davion did an amazing job with my tattoo. It’s the most clean and and well done tattoo I have now! He was patient and helped me design what I wanted when I wasn’t even sure what I wanted, and it’s gorgeous.
Second time getting tattooed by Flip. Great work as usual and I had an overall pleasant experience
Got my first piercing here! Very nice staff, explained everything well and were very kind. Its expensive but the quality of the work (and jewelry) are worth it.
Clean shop, wonderful tattoo artists. Chris did a great job with his Friday the 13th tattoos!
Shop is very welcoming and cozy. The staff is accommodating and friendly. Very happy with my tattoo from Eli. No complaints!
The worst piercing Ive ever gotten. My ear bled for 15 minutes and didnt stop once I left, the stud was the same size as the hole so my earring slid through the back of my ear the very next day. When i called asking what they could do about it they refused to help and said there was nothing they could do. Do not go here for piercings!!
Saip gave me and my wife amazing matching tattoos yesterday for our 10 year wedding anniversary. top notch work will definitely be going back I highly recommend him and and evil genius tattoo
I got my first tattoo yesterday with flip and while he did an *okay* job (edit: after allowing it to heal, I noticed one of the small circles on the tattoo wasnt completely filled and the circle wasnt even round like the other two - I added two pics for reference. one good circle and the bad circle), he was extremely uninterested and almost rude. my consult with him lasted maybe 10 mins and he simply asked what I wanted without asking anymore questions. also, what an insane price between the deposit and tattoo! I got such a small tattoo, one color (black), and it took maybe two minutes to complete for $157? I will never get a tattoo done by him ever again. he treated me like an inconvenience the entire time. definitely regret picking him as my artist.
Love this place! I love the set up of it and everyone in there is great. Its so clean. Flip has done my last 2 tattoos and he has been great
Very health safe and very professional. Charly explained the whole process and is excellent at what she does. Highly recommend Charly and Evil Genius Tattoo Club.
I got my first tattoo here in November of 2017 by Krist and didnt realize until recently (when I finally built up the courage to go and get it fixed by a different artist) how unfortunate my first experience actually was. Scheduling was a challenge as there were a couple appointments that had to be rescheduled, which I understand when you are going to an artist who has such high demand. I really loved the tattoos of his I saw on line so I gave him a lot of artistic freedom. Basically whatever he thought would look nice or be fun to do. I asked for water color flowers, but left the rest up to him.When my tattoo was finished (top of my foot) I was in PAIN. I know tattoos hurt, but I couldnt put any weight on my foot for WEEKS. I work in healthcare so I know how to properly care for open wounds and I followed all their instructions, down to the letter, even buying the exact products they recommend and sell. My foot ended up swelling up huge, even weeks after the tattoo, and I have very large, very deep scabs. There was a lot of skin trauma. Even after a month, my foot would be fine in the morning, and after being awake and walking around for only a little bit, the bones in the top of my foot would hurt pretty bad. When the swelling mostly went down and the tattoo healed (about 6 weeks) I reached back out for a touch up session. I know he is busy as an artist but It took a LONG time for him to respond, a month after the first email, then three weeks, then another two etc. I was offered a date (the 24th) but no clarification on which month. I had to reach out again to figure out when it would be. I live out of town so I had to know in advance so I could drive back in.After some back an fourth I got a date. I made the drive to Lafayette (about 3.5 hours) and FIFTEEN minutes before my appointment time (after driving to Lafayette) I got a call from the shop that Krist left for the day, and that he would reschedule with me. I turned around to go home and I never heard from the shop again. I reached out one more time a few months later and got no response. I vowed I would never get a tattoo again because I thought the entire process I went through was normal.It wasnt until recently that I built up the courage to go to a different artist to see if they would be willing to attempt a coverup, because ultimately I was left with a tattoo that I was unhappy with and frankly didnt look good. I went to this other artist and he did a full coverup, and my experience was so different. It didnt hurt at all compared to the first time through, I was comfortable walking right after it was done, it healed (what I know realize is) normally.All in all, 1300 dollars was a lot for me to spend on a tattoo to have that be the experience. I would expect with a high dollar price tag a high dollar product, and unfortunately for me personally, I didnt get to have that experience.I attached photos of the original tattoo immediately after and during healing for reference
Trashy place couldnt even finish in color like they was supposed too. say its more money midway when we was set on price go somewhere else these guys suck
Stopped in during a recent fundraising event and loved it. Recieved a killer tattoo, loved the artist, and the vibe. Will definitely be returning for more.
Jarod was perfection. I have never had such light-handed, painless work. It turned out beautifully and I am so impressed.
Everybody was so amazing! They went above and beyond keeping the place clean, and Charly talked me through absolutely everything and made my piercing as quick and painless as possible.
I can’t express enough how much I love my new tat, Eli really is a genius!
These guys are awesome. Love my work that they have been doing. Will always go to Evil Genius.
This place is amazing.... Even if you dont know exactly what you want they do everything in their power to help you.. Including search on the computer and help you come up with ideas to make your tattoo unique to you and something you will love for a lifetime!!! I will go no where else for a tattoo this is a 5 star tattoo shop!!! Thank you guys you are truly amazing
Such an awesome group of geniuses!!! When size and style counts, these guys are by far the best! Very friendly and create a great atmosphere. By far the best drilling Ive had!!!
Customer service was amazing and Charly did an amazing job on my piercings. Would recommend to anyone and will be coming back!
Amazing place but still I have to say they never fixed my tattoo mistake its miss spelled I have been trying to get it fixed but I have gotten no answer I wish I could give them more of a star but I am so imbarssd about my tattoo but yes very good place and very clean
Eli did a beautiful Robin with watercolors and it was everything I wanted and hoped it would be! Cant wait for my next one!
Very friendly and professional.....I like getting a sticker from soldier Mike after the tatoo was done by him....but they all made me and my daughter (her first two tatoos in life) feel comfortable.
Good atmosphere , awesom people,alexis was very personable,great job on my tattoo, ..Looking forward to my next visit for anothet tattoo my wife is goin also ...Great Shop....Highly Reccomended...
This place sucks the parking sucks and the owners suck and I wish they would respond like they do in the other 1 star reviews because it shows how professional they are at being a business.
Eli is amazing!
David Antonio did my tattoo and he gave me exactly what I wanted. He made my first tattoo a great experience and I will definitely be back, it was my personal idea and he made it come to life. Thank you
Davion was super friendly and vibed on my ideas immediately... Cant wait to see what he come up with! Front desk guy (Matt) was very professional and organized.
The piercer here is great! I highly recommend coming here. Shes by far the best Ive been to and I dont mind driving about an hour.
1st trip to this shop and I have to say super friendly, clean and really happy artists there, Devine was my artist and she was awesome thanks so much and I look forward to coming back soon!
Chris did a fantastic job with the tattoo! Would definitely recommend
Got a piercing by Charly and the whole experience was great! She sterilized my jewelry in front of me and talked me through the whole thing.
I love the piercer. She did a great job and was very nice. I will go here for all my piercings.
Very good group of artists and piercers, lots of great art and piercings done, a pretty good amount of high quality jewelry to choose from as well!!! Keep it going guys!!!
Nice chill atmosphere and very professional. Place was clean and each bay was organized. Im from indianapolis and Ill be coming back for more work.
I needed a tattoo fixed. HOLY cow!!!!! WAY beyond my expectations!!!!! Ah Mah Zing!!!!! I said artist choice. Devon took it and ran. Love. Million thumbs up!!!!
Mike does good work and is a blast to get a tattoo from. He did an excellent job on my all white tattoo.
Love this tattoo shop! Amazing people and amazing work. Ive received 3 tattoos and a piercing here!
Flip absolutely killed it with my tattoo. I was nervous it wouldnt fit on my arm, but he made it work. Crazy clean lines, will be back.
For their free tattoo scam they wanted you to donate 40 to 60 dollars worth of school supplies. I can pay that much to get a tattoo else where. It was a joke.
Flip did a great job on a detailed finger tattoo.
I had some bad tats fixed by Aaron and he was amazing...he made my mistakes masterpieces! Strongly recommend them...
They have AMAZING tattoo artists!! Eli is the BEST!! and the staff is awesome as well!!
Ellie has always done a great job on my tattoos.
Ive had a tattoo and a piercing done here. I was very impressed both times. Ill be back for sure.
Charly is very informative,takes her time and goes step by step through the experience. Awesome people work here.
Great experience. Total chill, wont ever forget my Indiana Experience 😘 Thanks to Flip for my new art work 😊
I had my chest tattoo finished and the shop was beautiful. Everyone was very friendly and professional.
The artist are great! Super friendly environment. All their artwork is amazing
Dude refused to do what customer wanted so we went elsewhere and got it done. Looks amazing and not a hot mess like evil genius said it would.
Awesome place! So incredibly pleased with our PB&J! You will be seeing us again!
Was told the tattoo would be a certain price and after my girlfriend got it done, the price was raised considerably. was not the best quality tattoo either by far.
Great artist did a wonderful job on my tattoo.
My favorite tat place by far. Love the environment and atmosphere the people are great and nice and they do good work!
Clean environment. Friendly staff. Clean lines and beautiful lettering from the artist, Flip Mills. Thank you!
A little pricey but overall great customer service and very hygienic with the use of sterile techniques
It was really chill. The dude doing the tattoo was friendly and made us feel welcome.
Great artist. Good work and fair price! Perfect for a tattoo!
Never disappointed when I get something done here!!!!
Loved it all and the experience...They did an amazing job ...And I will in fact be coming back soon 😁thank you guys so much
Got a piece done by a guest artist. Came back 2 weeks later for a touch up, and they refused to do it. Argued with me and asked me to leave the shop. I’ll never go back.
Cant wait to go back to get more tattoos. I traveled here from VA to get my tattoo and I will be returning.
Everyone here is super nice and welcoming! Definitely recommend
Very professional atmosphere. Super kind staff and are always interested in what ideas you bring in with you.
Very short with me on the phone. The shop itself is nice but service could be more friendly
Absolutely wonderful staff, very clean business and amazing work.
Awesome piercing by Charly, thank you. We will be coming back
Amazing work! I am extremely happy with how everything turned out.
Even their apprentices do excellent work! Clean, hospitable, severely talented!
The best place for tattoos and piercings!! 🖤
I went to Evil Genius about 3 months ago... and it feels I was born about 3 months ago. Hands of an angel.
The club itself was amazing, just had a bad experience with Krist.
Flip did my tattoo and was super patient and was awesome!!
Its going to be an awesome shop! Newly remodeled, clean and professional!
Originality on tattoo was helpful. David is the go to 10/10
