Great experience all around the board! All the staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful in me getting my first tattoo. Dylan gave me my tattoo, and he was truly excellent! He always made sure I was comfortable and made sure to make the process as easy for me as possible. The environment in the parlor is super nice and clean.
My uncle and I both got tattoos yesterday (04/29/23) courtesy of Miguel (mine) and Dylan (my uncle’s). They came out amazing and exactly how we wanted them - as walk-ins too! The receptionist was extremely helpful and patient with us as we were filling out our paperwork and getting our quotes and the artists were both very personable and most importantly cleanly/hygienic as well as clearly experienced at tattooing. Definitely will be returning for future work and would recommend to anyone!
Just got my septum done by Amber and she’s great! Very good at explaining things, nice, and quick. The lady at the desk was really nice too :)
Got a piercing here the other day, probably won’t come back. people at the front desk are very rude. my piercing was great and the piercer was nice. but the customer service alone is a good reason not to come back. go a block down the road and you can get it for cheaper and the people there are actually nice.
I’m new to Arkansas & this was the first shop I’ve been to!! I was blown awayyy with the professionalism and customer service!! They were so kind and efficient getting me a quote. The artist drew up my tat and got me in and out super quick. Not to mention the tattoo came out gorgeous! Dylan did my tattoo & Amber pierced my nose! They were both very thorough. Definitely recommend this spot!! Thanks so much again
Amazing work from Dani!! She has an amazing eye for color and is one of the nicest people you could have to work on you. She made sure every bit was just how I wanted it. Everyone was phenomenal with great attitudes. I will definitely be returning for more artwork. Much love!! 🖤🖤🖤
Wonderful experience. Got a cheek dermal. She did a great job 👏🏼
Great prices and artwork, my bro has gotten 2 done and I had a retouch done. Thats were ima be going for now on.
Starting coming here after my daughter had a bad nose piercing done somewhere else & Amber did an amazing job with her! We were so happy that we started getting tattoos & Dani has done beautiful work for her & my oldest daughter. My 1st artist is no longer there but everyone is so much fun to be around that I will keep coming back🩷. Dylan did my latest & I love it. We are planning to go again next week 😆
My first professional tattoo and chose the right place and the right artist. Miguel is very professional and knowledgeable in his art. He hooked me up with a memorable tribal piece that not only looks amazing but fits me to the T. Done completely freehand in just a couple of hours his experience shined through. Thanks Miguel.
Dani has done my arm in solid red, and black bands around the wrist. Really laid back shop with some cool people. Super easy to talk to, and have always enjoyed my time while getting a tattoo. Dani and the rest of the shop there are really kind people. The toys for tots promotion they do is a wild deal, such a great thing they do and you can get a tattoo for next to nothing. I recommend this shop for sure, worth checking out at least.
I went here three times now and I love All of my piercings. I had my tragus piercing, my forward helix piercing and my conch piercing. They all hurted but worth it.
Took their time, extremely clean, patient, honest, great artists with honest opinion s and hot ideas. My daughter got this by Darron and its perfection! So great I wanted one too. Great experience. Very relaxing atmosphere. We ll definitely be back.
My piercing isn’t healed yet, so I will not add a picture. I made the very impulsive decision to get a vertical labret piercing on a Sunday and this was the only place open. I didn’t do any research and I was really scared when I went in but I just really wanted it done. Amber was amazing. She did it perfectly, and even cooperated with me whenever I was being indecisive! She was so helpful. It was a wonderful experience. I would recommend this place to anybody in the area. Thank you so much Amber💖💖
Loved my piercer very chill,quick and professional!! Thank you Amber !!Nose piercing $50
Miguel.... Im in love with the tattoo you basically free handed entirely. It was in honor of my meemaw and matches her stitching she made and gave to me. You didnt even see the stitching of the wolf, but just by my describing her and the symbolization you created what I consider a perfect piece of art that I absolutely love. Shout out to Empire and Miguel, Dani, Johnny entire staff!
This shop is a great place to come to from the friendly and kind staff all the way to the great work of the artist they have working. Big thanks to Chad for hooking me up he gave me the exact tattoo I wanted and then some!!!
Awesome place to get tattoos, piercings, etc. Very clean, professional, friendly, helpful, and create a great atmosphere to get your ink done. Ive been getting tattoos done by Dani for past two years here at Empire and wont go anywhere else! This place is great and they can do any style or work you need done. 👍
Dani always does awesome work. Great atmosphere and always super clean.
Excellent professional work from highly experienced artists.Highly recommended!
Amber was absolutely amazing. I brought my Austin adult son there to get his ears pierced. She understood his special needs on communication and talked him through every step. She was patient and kind. Would recommend her for any piercing needs
Got my conch and helix pierced by AMBER! She was AMAZING and fun to talk to! She made me feel very comfortable and she listened to me on how I wanted my piercing done! She made sure we are on the same page before she pierced! Highly recommended!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Piercing experience was awesome! Their lady piercer was so kind and efficient. Everything was sterilized and I felt super comfortable with her.
Amber did an amazing job on my snake bites
Ive gotten 2 tattoos here and wont go anywhere else. I want to take my boyfriend here too! Everyone Ive spoken to has been super nice and explained everything clearly.
Loved it Dylan did an Amazing job! Definitely will be going back to have him do a cover-up for me.
Miranda was great!! She was super sweet fast and and did a great job!!! The shop was very Clean and everyone in there made sure I was completely comfortable before and after my piercing... I will not use anyone but them... 10 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me
Great service! Tattooed my son for his very 1st tat. Did a great job, Super clean lines! We will def be back.
Absolutely love this place, will come here for all future piercings! Krystal was such an angel, she really went above and beyond to make sure my piercings were perfect. I absolutely love them! She does such a great job making you feel comfortable and properly informed on what you’re getting done. The whole place has such a positive vibe, you can’t help but have a fun time!
Amber and Chad put a lot of effort into getting my hoops in… those killer captive beads look amazing now and I’m so happy to have them back in. Love these people!! 🖤
OMG!!! I had such a delightful experience. The inside is amazing with all of the different tattoo ideas around. It is a very clean place with great employees. I had the wonderful pleasure of getting tattooed by the artist Miguel! Dude he was super nice, works fast, his work is SUPER neat (yayyy) and he’s not heavy handed (thank god). I would most definitely recommend them! Make sure to make an appointment because they do get busy
Went in for a walk in piercing and everyone was super friendly and professional! Masks are required currently and everything was very clean and my piercer was professional and Im in love with my new piercing. Even on a Saturday night, they got me in and finished quickly. Highly recommend!
They were super professional and I was nervous to do color but Johnny convinced me and im so happy he did. He did such a gorgeous piece and 10/10 would go back! I also got my medusa and nose pierced here about 6 months ago and it healed perfectly. would go back for another.
Clean, friendly, and overall a great atmosphere. Was able to get my left ear pierced with no trouble at all. They also provide a nice informative packet which tells you how to properly clean it, ect. Most likely gonna come back for a tattoo at some point. Knew it was the right place when I walked in, and re-runs of The Office were playing on the T.V. in the lobby.Edt: Came back for two more piercings. Just as perfect as the first time 👍
I’m not sure if I wrote a review the last time I was here, so this review is for both experiences. First, my boyfriend and I got our first tattoos from Chad. He was excellent and made us feel comfortable. Second time around (today), Krystal gave us two piercings each, in our earlobes. She was amazing. She walked us through everything she was doing. I would recommend this place to anyone who wanted to get a piercing or tattoo.
I got a large tattoo here about 3 years ago, and absolutely love it! Well fast forward to last week, I came in as a “walk in”. I wanted a small tattoo, and the front desk lady got me a quote, but was unsure exactly when she could get me in. I got there about 2pm, she asked the artist for an estimated time and he said an hour or 2. I went home then called back to see if he was ready, and then he apparently had an appointment to do another tattoo by this time… the front desk said “I promise we’ll get you in today”… I didn’t get a call for the rest of the day. I felt my small tattoo was just pushed aside. But I’m sure if I wanted another big tattoo that cost more money, they could have made time for me. It’s unfortunate because I used to talk this place up; there are some amazing pieces that come out of here. I’m not sure if I’ll come back though, after this last experience.
We had such an amazing time at Empire Tattoo. I went in and had my snakebites redone and I got my septum pierced. Krystal is very gentle and she is a great conversationalist.While waiting our turn for my piercings, my husband has a piece of flash catch his eye. The tattoo artist, Dannie, was phenomenal. She was fast and very friendly. We felt right at home there and its going to be our new body modification home. Go check em out! Just set up a consult and youll be able to see why its a great place to put your faith in some amazing artists.
I went to have my nose pierced recently and I chose this place because it offers a really good price and Crystal was super sweet! I didnt even make an appointment, I just walked in and I got seen in less than 5 minutes. Crystal made sure I liked the placement of my piercing before she did it. She made me feel really comfortable and explained everything that was happening, especially with all the tools and the cleanliness of it with COVID. I highly recommend going to see her! I cant speak for my experience with any of the tattoo artists, but I was thoroughly impressed by the service and for a good price! It was around $45 for my piercing with tax. Please make sure you tip! She deserves every penny for sure!
My Husband & I both went in today to get my bellybutton pierced and his bridge pierced.Our Piercer was Krystal. She is AMAZING, super sweet, talks you through everything she does, and she did a fantastic job on both of our piercings. I will definitely be coming back! :)Now on the shop and the other employees.The shop is badass itself! I didn’t get to catch the front desk girls name but she was so sweet too. Very friendly place 🖤🖤 11/10! Thank Y’all!!
Beyond an artist from here named miguel “hope i spelled that correctly my guy” giving me a solid tattoo and my ex a very solid cover up. I had a tattoo that I really wasn’t happy with from someone working a different shop and I knew I need it it covered. They have a reputation for quality and I’ve gotten nice work done there so I reached out to John the owner and he gave me a cover up tattoo that has honestly changed my outlook on what a quality piece of art is. I went from having something I’d hide and show no one to something I got tons of positive feedback on and more than that I’m proud to have on my body. It’s also a great vibe. I had a session that needed breaks I felt welcome and enjoyed every second of hanging out with staff. If you’re in Arkansas and you want what I’d consider a step above professional quality work and overall just a a good time hanging out with the crew there you won’t be disappointed. The only negative that’s not a negative is you will catch the bug and be inspired for more ink the second you walk out. Just understand these guys are passionate and professional. They’re not here to just to give you tattoo they’re here to give you body art that you’ll be proud of for as long as your living. To say I look forward to coming back is an understatement. If you want a flash tat go for it! And if you want a bada$$ piece of art by artist who take pride in their work come get a quality piece of art on you this is the spot
Amber is a fantastic piercer—I was super nervous about getting my nose pierced, and she was not only educational, but understanding as well. She walked me through the process, and gave me very realistic expectations of what to expect. She did the exact thing for my friend, as well.5/5 great person and piercer.
I went in for a piercing with Amber. She has a fantastic bedside manner. Very clear instructions for aftercare. Clean set up and break down of area. Would recommend!
Came in today for my first tattoo, they got me in fairly quickly after I arrived. They have nice staff and our tattoo artist Miguel was great! The music playing was pretty good and the tattoo on my foot went pretty smooth, he was very gentle! Great first tattoo experience. Will be back to see Miguel!
Very friendly place. I had an issue with a piercing that I got at another parlor. The place that did it was closed on this particular day so I went to Empire. Crystal was amazing and helpful. She tried so hard to help me with my problem so that my money wasnt wasted on my piercing bit ultimately all of her attempts were unsuccessful. I do not blame her nor the place that did it because no one could have know my face was going to swell like that. I appreciate how kind and gently she tried to fix the problem and she was just wonderful. She tried very hard to get a new, longer bar in my lip but it was just to swollen. The place I got it done is going to Pierce it again at no cost since the bar was to short. Great place for sure.
First off, DANI was nothing short of AMAZING.Im new to the state and was referred to her through a friend. Shes beyond talented and her work shows it! The place itself was great too! Super clean, super friendly staff, nice, tidy artist rooms. DID I MENTION HOW CLEAN IT WAS? Plus, theyre involved in helping the community, which I love! I definitely recommend.
Went as part of the Out of the Ashes fundraiser. Whole shop made the first timer experience as easy as possible. Front desk was kind and answered my questions. Miguel made me feel completely comfortable and at ease with the process. Overall, the shop seemed really clean too! Absolutely could not recommend more!
My friend Gabby and I showed up an hour before they closed and Miguel managed to get both of our tattoos done in less than an hour with both of them looking flawless! This was first tattoo so I was super nervous but Miguel made it an amazing experience! I will definitely be back for more!!
Ok please come here if youre thinking of getting ink. This was my first tattoo ever and Miguel did such an awesome job. He sketched it out for me before- and is so talented!! It was better than I expected it to be. Price was reasonable as well. Staff was amazing, and they made me feel welcome- especially as a first timer!
Went above and beyond to make sure the design of my tattoo was wright
I got two piercings by Krystal! I recommend her to anyone who is trying to find a good piercer. You can visibly see she makes sure every thing is very sterile. I ended up having issues with one (not her fault), so I went back up there and she was happy to address it for me with no issues!!
Theyre all super nice at this shop! Ive seen work by Darion, Dani, and Miguel in person and they are all excellent artists with their own personal styles. Their toys for tats promotion is incredible, so take advantage while you can! Love you guys:)
It took me a while to post this since my phone broke, but I can for sure give them 5 stars!We went to 4 different tattoo parlors and empire was the ONLY that sat down with us and looked at our tattoo ideas and gave us a price.The other places would glace at our pictures we brought and give a price range without letting us explain any intricate details. The tattoo was pretty simple but since it was my husbands first tattoo, I wanted this done right. Miguel tattooed both of us and it was great he was respectful, nice and informative about aftercare.Definitely going back to him for our next one! Highly recommend!
I went with no appointment and a fairly bad picture of what I wanted. They worked with me easily, and Miguel drew it up by himself. He did an awesome job, with the drawing and tattoo. Its my second one getting done by Miguel, and I highly recommend him.
I dont really write reviews but i felt like i had to for here. So I dont do good with needles and pain, but I love getting tattoos... which is not the greatest mix. Dani was my tattoo artist and she was SUPER understanding and helpful throught the entire process. She was REALLY easy to talk to but completely focused on her work at the same time. She went outside her comfort zone to do a black and white for me and did an AMAZING JOB! I will definitely be coming back to her for all my other tats. Thank you Dani!
My appointment was scheduled at 2PM today for a belly piercing Krystal was freaking AWESOME!!!! She examining my belly to make sure first if I could get it pierced (she picked out a beautiful jewelry perfect for skin complexion) then she marked where the piercing would go and made sure I looked at it to make sure it was in the center. Finally she told me to take a deep breathe on the count of 3 and TADAAA it was FINISHED quick fast easy and didn’t hurt at all!!! She also went over how to take proper care of the piercing!! Well done krystal I definitely will be back again sometime
The staff are super professional and friendly and I loved how clean the shop was. I would definitely recommend anyone come here for their tattoo/piercing needs! Miguel is so talented and kind and did a great job on my tattoo!
I had a piercing that bothered me even after 3 years of being in. Ive had other piercers try to correct it but it only made the problem worse. I took the ring out just to stop the pain, but ended up not being able to put the ring back in. I went to Dave and literally after a day the pain stopped. Literal miracle worker, but Im sure the quality of the jewelry contributed. Very friendly atmosphere and great customer service. I will definitely continue to come here for all my piercings!
I came in today for my first tattoo ( July, 21 2019) and let me tell you...Miguel was absolutely amazing and I was more than happy with my tat. The staff is super friendly and make you feel at home. Miguel is very talkative with his clients while performing tats, which I love. So shoutout to Empire and I will be a returning customer!
NEGATIVE 5 STARS!! THE UGLY MAN ATTITUDE ANSWERED THE PHONE. All I wanted to do was ask a general question and he began being very rude. Its not my fault you are not happy and it displays with his attitude. I will never spend my money with someone that talk to their customers like he did with me. Do NOT and I repeat do NOT go to this tattoo shop, youll come out being just as upset. Customer service is horrible!! Run. Run. Run. Run as fast as you can.
Best tattoo studio around! Johnnie is fantastic, his art work looks awesome. Never disappointed!
I got tattooed by Miguel, he was very professional. He made me feel very comfortable. Super friendly, overall the best experience I’ve had in a tattoo shop. Will definitely go back to get more work done by him🙂
Came in to setup an appointment for a sleeve, 20 minutes before my appointment I had an emergency and had to reschedule. They said if I didnt reschedule within a 2 day period, I forfeit my deposit, designs, everything just because of an emergency. They didnt once suggest rescheduling for the same time. DO NOT USE THEM
My experience was fantastic! I got my ears pierced, and Krystal was so nice and helpful through the whole process even though I was super nervous. Will definitely go back for any future needs!!
I have been there before and they were rude just like the first time. I had issues with the atm and but my sister tried to work on the issue. How was I gonna walk out without paying who in the right mind would walkout without paying as a business person I know and they were rude too. As a person of color you better take your business elsewhere PERIOD.
So far both experiences Ive had were very pleasant. The shop has a very laid back vibe and I straight forward process to get to the back. Miguel has done both of mine and both times left has if my image was printed on my skin. Mad props my dude.
Ive actually gotten a tattoo there before and 5 of my friends. Ive tried to go back 2 other times. The lady at the front desk is so unprofessionally rude I dont know how they even stay in business on her customer service alone. I witnessed her talk to others in the lobby waiting the same way. We potentially walk out and got great service down the street. Unacceptable!!!!!! Will not ever patronize thier buiness again.
This place is the only tattoo parlor that’ll I’ll ever use. It’s extremely clean first of all. Everybody there does good work. Darion did my last 2 tattoos. One tattoo is of my dog’s paw print that recently passed away and my other one is a treble clef and bass clef in the shape of a heart. I️ definitely would recommend this place if you want to get some good quality ink for an affordable price. Anyone leaving bad reviews probably showed up 30 minutes before closing and expected to get 5 hours or so worth of work done—which is nonsense.
I came in with a friend to each get a tattoo done and called ahead and told them what I wanted and they said they would have time to do it. We get there pay for my friends tattoo and they begin setting up for it and tell me they wont have time to do mine even though they had just said they would. So I even tried to compromise and asked if I got it smaller if theyd have time and again they said no to come back tomorrow. So I was pissed about that but I caled back the next day to make sure theyd have time to do it, and again they said no but to call back on a later day and theyd try to do it. The customer service is ridiculous, and common sense should tell you if two people come in together to get tattoos you should let them know on advance if you can only do one of them. Ill never go back to this place. Oh and not to mention they quoted me one price then when it came time to write it down raised the price by almost $100.00. The only reason Im giving them 2 stars instead of 1 is because the work. The guy who did my friends tattoo was nice enough and did a good job matching it to what she wanted. But Id go somewhere else in a heartbeat.
I had my 18th birthday yesterday and decided to get piercings to celebrate. Krystal was amazing. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I did get extremely light-headed but she took very good care of me and made sure that I was alright before I left. Krystal, if you read this: YOU ROCK!
I am 49 and a grandma, so when I wanted a tattoo, I was a little nervous! I chose a beautiful Chinese Hope symbol on the back of my neck. They were WONDERFUL! Very nice to me, the pain was minimal, and it was quick! I recommend them for ALL your tats and they also do piercings.
The experience was terrible!! Had appointment for piercings they acted like they didn’t wanna pierce me and my friend from the beginning kept telling us to reschedule. Sat their for over 30 minutes past our appointment decided to take mine and another girls temp wouldn’t show us my friend apparently had a fever then said “well our ac doesn’t work” then said they had to kick her out. Very rude do not recommend!!
Daughter got her 3rd piercing for both ears, a bit pricey but excellent job and clean facilities, staff was helpful and kind.
Empire of Ink is the best place to get tattoos or piercings. The staff is Awesome and always makes sure the customer leaves happy. Johnnie and his staff are truly talented people. I have had numerous tattoos done won’t go anywhere else!! Keep it up guys!
Wonderful experience both times I’ve been there! Dani is an incredible artist.
I had went up there to get a tattoo. The artist ask when did I wanted it done. I told him today. He had an appointment at 4:30pm & told me he can do after that appointment. The receptionist desk lady said they will call my number when he is ready. I stay in Little Rock all day for them to call me & I wasn’t from there. I told them that. After about 5:30pm, I went back up there to see if the artist was done. The receptionist told me someone else was in there & I will have to make an appointment & put a deposit down after they have already told me they will call me when he was done with the 4:30pm appointment time. They do 1st come & 1st serve. I never received a called & they had me waiting in Little Rock all those hours for no reason.
I went to have 4 piercing at once done. Tragus, conch, daith and rook. Amber did all four of these. And this was under the supervision of supposedly the best piercer there, Crystal. My daith was pierced crooked and automatically was pushed out the next week at work due to swelling from the angle. Then she pierced my rook too thin and only let me know hours later on Facebook when she was feeling guilty. She made sure to keep my jewelry so I couldn’t go anywhere else to get this done. Then I went to go get my tragus looked at by a professional and they said I would never be able to wear a ring or anything but A stud. And it would be a piercing length bar that would be a pain to always order. So basically I’m out three piercings (about 100 bucks) and the only thing they had to tell me was if I had a known before, because I’m the expert right, they would have given me my refund. But they basically told me to screw myself on the money I’m out. Please do not go to this place, you’ll be paying more at another but you’ll get what you pay for
Me and my friend went to go get piercing and everyone was so sweet! The lady at the front desk calmed my nerves and Dave did the piercing so quick and they came out perfect. Cant wait to go back and get a tattoo
Always a pleasant and comfortable experience in this shop, whether I’m going for a piercing or tattoo. Everyone here is professional and easy to work with. Thanks, Empire team! 🖤
Krystal is a phenomal piercer. Been wanting to bring back my Monroe for awhile and she did so good. Very pleased made sure we had all the information we needed about after care as well. Keep her Empire shes amazing.
My visit for a nose peircing was quick and professional . The shop was very clean and the staff , amazing. 5 stars all the way around ! Thanks and I will be back to get some ink for sure !
I was so nervous, anxious, and scared that I wouldn’t be able to handle the pain of a tattoo.! Let me just say that MIGUEL IS THE VERY BEST.! As long as you chew some gum and start a conversation the entire time (Lol like I did) of your session YOU WILL BE OKAY .! I Promise.!!! Thank you Miguel for making my Day as well as my FIRST tattoo. I will see you in about a month for another one .!
Everybody at Empire is extremely welcoming and helpful. Theyve had a very busy past few weeks with the Toys for Tatts special and are still handling business exceptionally well. Not to mention the awesome tattoo I received and the fact that its for a great cause. They have definitely gained a new long term customer.Also, in regards to any negative comments posted recently about the Toys for Tatts special, its a little hard to get in to get a tattoo at 5:30pm on a Thursday when people started lining up at 10:30am (most people would expect this). And for the record, the guy at the front is not a douchebag. He was very helpful and courteous even with the massive amounts of customers :)
I got a large leg piece fixed and done a year ago on Oct 9 absolutely love it!! The people there are great and friendly!! Only bad thing was Im allergic to the red dye in the tat. Not their fault cause I didnt even know lol. Im goin back real soon!!
I had an amazing experience! Staff is very friendly and professional! Worked me in for my tattoo as a walk in and consulted for an appointment later on. I had a bad experience at another parlor that day and came here.
Front staff comes off very rude for no reason. The woman working the front desk was rude on the phone and she was rude in person as well. My friend and I took our business elsewhere and found much more reasonable pricing and a friendlier staff down the road at The Psycho Delic Butterfly Tattoo & Piercing
Honestly my favorite place to go to. I know I will leave with good quality work that Ill love forever. I never feel stressed in the environment everyone is very friendly. When Im there I feel like im just chillin with my not so average family. I will go there for the rest of my life. I love being there. Its not only ink therapy which I love its just a place for me to escape and relax. I love everyone at empire its always a wonderful time.
Ive been visiting the guys and gals at Empire for more than 5 years. They just keep getting better. You will not find a better bunch of people who actually listen to their customers and frequently do toy drives and specials to benefit our community! Stop by for a visit! You wont be disappointed!
Extremely professional when walking in. Were from. Out of town last second thought. Looked up several places and this one sounded the best. So, we came over. Super clean. Friendly place.. Wed return if every in town again.
I came to the Pitbull Rescue fundraisers and got my paw prints . Amazing Artist. Very great job. And Iam going back for a large cover up. Cant wait. My Artist was awesome. Very nice young man from Maumelle. Thank you .
Empire is the best of the best everyone in that place is amazing. When people see my tattoos immediately they ask me which artist is the best i tell them all the artist are great. David , John, and J.P, Danny, and lil david!! I love these people they have done amazing work on me. ROCK ON EMPIRE TATTOO
My tattoo is missing ink in some spots. Sure she said I could come in for a touch up for free but I live out of town and I expect to have a simple tattoo like I got to have all the ink actually in my skin. She was really nice and the actual outline doesnt look bad at all, but she didnt go deep enough. Update its literally looking like the ink is just scabing off and with some of the ink missing in spots it looks terrible.
My nose piercing the 2nd day began embedding in my nose. Obviously it was too tight when it was not touched or anything, I had to pay $22 to fix. There are cheaper places that do it correctly on the first day.
If I could give this place a lower score I would. One star does not begin to cover the awful service I received from Empire Tattoo. Completely unprofessional and just over all awful quality. A sign in the lobby reads Prices subject to change according to the customers attitude, a small warning to the immaturity and shitty attitude of the employees and management. If you have any respect for yourself and your body, dont go here. Find somewhere else and find it quickly.
Great people, amazing work and excellent prices. They know what theyre doing and are very friendly. Very clean, sterile and educated. This is the only place I go to get my tattoos.
I got my 2nd Tattoo at Empire Tattoo in Little Rock the gentleman that did it was amazing his name was Chad. He made me feel comfortable and he also talked to me while he was working. If i ever get anorher one i will return ro Empire and let the same man Chad give me my next one. Thanks Empire for such a great experience.
Its where I always go to get my ink. Krystal is a great piercer. And Johnny is awesome, ok, so all the artists there are pretty amazing. Pricing is also reasonable. Love it
Awesome place to go for first timers! Ive gotten a few tats and piercings here, every visit was great. Its very clean and neat inside and the artist are dope!
I went a year ago to get a tattoo and now I am in the process of trying to get another one! Good customer service and the guy ( I wish I remembered his name) who did my tat was dope! Cannot wait for my next one!
I LOOOOVVEEEE Johnny! He has such a great personality. He is a gifted artist and the only one who I use for tats. The staff are always friendly and the place is always clean and sterile.
Even if the prices are high, they still do a great job and what its worth no matter how much it is. No one takes notice that the piercing is once price and the jewelry adds to it. Also reading their responses to 1 star reviews gave me a laugh lol. I would literally reply with the same thing.
Came in without an appointment. Was greeted by friendly staff who were eager to help. Great work for a fair price. Definitely would recommend to others and will be going back
If you want to leave early on a Saturday night CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS HOURS PLEASE!!!! Don’t turn away paying customers 30 min before your sign says you close. If you stop taking clients at 9, your hours of operation should read CLOSE AT 9! We drove over an hour one way to come bc of the awesome reviews on google and still very disappointed
Great place to get a tattoo. It was clean and sanitary. Dani was really nice, and took time to explain the process of getting a tattoo. She has great customer service skills, and Ill be back.
Really nice people! Very well ran business especially during deals when people are lined up out the door! They have a deal right now Toy for Tats and its amazing how they donate their time just so kids can have toys for Christmas!!!!
I got my first tattoo done by Miguel. He did an amazing job. It is exactly what I wanted and he made me feel comfortable and I will be going back.
I had a great experience with Miguel. He did a great job on covering up a previous tattoo...long story!! I told him what I wanted and he delivered. I’m about a month out and my tattoo is healing beautifully. I look forward to working with him again in the future.
Everyone there is amazing they make you feel so comfortable and they joke around a lot. I had a big piece done there and a piercing . the guy with the tatt above his brow and john and dani are everything. If you want a good laugh and a bad ass tattoo its the place to go
Wayyy overly expensive. Darion was horribly sexist and very disrespectful with some of the words he choosed to use. I have tons of tattoos. And I have never disliked any of my experiences. Empire tattoo is probably a awesome place but I would get a tattoo with someone else. Thats just my opinion.
What are the best tattoo shops I have visited in a very long time. Excellent customer service. Excellent line work. Excellent attention to detail.
I love this place, and there is nowhere else I would go. Service is wonderful tattoo artists are friendly and very helpful picking out and understanding what your needs are. I will ONLY go to empire. I would urge everybody to do the same!
Incredible art, great customer service and absolute professionalism. If you know your tattoo isnt just a single experience but a lifelong token, these are the people you want guiding you. Tell SIMBA bobby sent you
The staff is friendly and professional, the place is clean and the prices (for piercing) are much better than some of the other shops in town. Would recommend for anyone!
Migel was super cool to work with & it was nice to have someone doing your tattoo who actually had a conversation with you. Will definitely be going back soon to work on my thigh piece!
Very rude customer service at the front desk. My tattoo artist was really chill though, love him.
Sharing this post Don is the owner also he is a great artist who did my tattoo which is one of the kind no one else has this Rose design they are very professional people there also a great family friendly crew everyone was nice and pleasant very safe and clean with mask and sanitizer everywhere 😁☺️😉😊 Angela Williams
Miguel is awesome! Great tattoo studio. They are very clean and everyone is super friendly and very welcoming! I will be back for sure!
My piercings was done perfectly by Krystal and she was so sweet, patient, caring, and funny... like I seriously recommend that if anyone wants a piercing to go to Empire to see Krystal ❤️❤️
I got my tongue pierced and they were awesome! They made me feel comfortable while I was nervous, the service was great, the people were great, and I just love being in that environment!!
Seriously love this place they are friendly, honest, and very good at what they do. Second time I’ve gotten a tattoo from here and am not disappointed!!!! Love love love!!!
Ive gotten all 7 of my tattoos at empire of ink! love the guys and gals very friendly wonderful customer service very clean willing to go the extra mile to make your tattoo happen I wouldnt go anywhere but here!!!
There are better places for cheaper remember always check out someones previous art before getting a tattoo not just that book on the table because you never know what artist did what . I did and found better and cheaper very disappointed in my tattoo after I got this new one done and was able too see and feel the difference in how I was tattooed .
Aaron is there now and he is the best. I refuse to go to anyone else. Dude has you laughing the whole time. Great work. Will make it bigger and better than what you thought originally.peace, love, and ink.dm
This was actually my second time getting a tattoo at Empire and the staff was very friendly knowledgeable and my tattoo is awesome. Love the atmosphere that had some music going great conversation and my tattoo is slamming thanks to John.
Best tattoo place ! My great Artist Guy Miguel Cab I gave him a FULL FIVE STARS!!! I highly recommend y’all go over here Empire Tattoo and check Miguel Cab out!
Second time going. Left tragus and right today. Great customer service. Krystal is awesome. Best for any piercing
I would not recommend this tattoo shop. The staff was very unprofessional and rude and they only had one person to do piercings which is odd because it’s a tattoo and piercing shop. I came in at 6:26 pm and before I got in the door they were saying we don’t accept people after 6:30 , without even asking what I wanted.
Dani- is amazing!!! Super excited! Her work is amazing!! Cant wait to finish my art work!!Entire staff absolutely GREAT!!
Good time, got to see my best friend in pain while me, my other friend and the tattoo artist talk and joke about stuff.(dont worry the tat came out perfect according to my friend) I plan on getting one there myself one day soon.
This place was everything and my Artist was great felt like we were old friends catching up before I knew it my piercings were done.
I have gotten 3 tattoos from empire and they always do such a great job. They are so professional. Cant wait to get my next one.
Great place to get tattoos. Everyone there is awesome at what they do. Great people great atmosphere. Clean. Definitely the best.
They dont know how to take out a Medusa piercing after saying they did over the phone. They basically lied. Never coming back or recommending this place to anyone
Took my daughter in for a thigh tattoo. We were very impressed with the kindness and skill of the staff. We will return soon.
I have had 4 piercings done here and the lady is awesome. Super sweet and professional.
I did my first tattoo and Im very happy with it
We got right in & had 3 tattoos & Miguel was awesome & super friendly. Plus he doesn’t have a heavy hand 🤪
These guys were amazing, I got my septum pierced and fully plan on going back for more tattoos and peircings.
Been going their for about 3 yrs or so always a great time , the whole staff are great and outgoing people. And the art work is awesome
Super nice and professional. Ive gotten 3 and will get more piercings from here
This was my first tattoo and Darion was great I was really nervous but he was so nice and it looks great!

I loved it. I went to the toys for tats special and they were awsone people great atmosphere great attitudes!!
Im having a sleeve done by Lil Johnny. Everyone there is super awesome, friendly, and professional. You get what you came for here and more.
Honestly. Terrible. My tattoos weren’t filled in all the way and look like I’ve had them for years when I haven’t. Don’t recommend!!
Absolutely loved the surroundings. and the work is amazing. even if it takes them 10 minutes the pieces come out amazing
Best in the state they treat you like family s/o Dave, Justin, John and all the pretty ladies. You guys rock👍
Great service! The price was reasonable and the the artist was cool, I will be going back!
Charged a lot for a very simple tattoo for my wife and I, and didnt do a great job of it either. I wont be coming back anytime soon.
Great tattoos, great service! I have 3 tattoos & all came from Empire! I’ll be back for sure!
One of the only places I trust worth my ink in the central Arkansas area, great artists and stunning work.
Nice, clean, fair prices, and the piercer was super professional and answered all my questions.
Had excellent service with a great price on a good piece of work! I highly recommend this place over any.
Excellent work Dani is a great artist!!!
The price there for a tattoo is outrageous a simple outline of a tattoo $150 no thank you a tattoo should not cost $150
Great artist. Ive never had a wait time for a tatoo either
Dylan was amazing! The staff was great and I’ll be back!!!
Terrible we came 23 min before closing on a Saturday night and they turned us away from a $400 quick easy tat to say the least worst experience ever.
These people are great!very fun atmosphere and great tattoo work
Amazing place, very nice people, Chad did amazing. Great guy!
Always a great experience. Clean, reliable, amazing staff. I suggest them to everyone.

Was a wonderful experience... Staff was wonderful... Place was clean and J.P. did an amazing job!!! Thanks for the forever treasures!!
The absolute most highest priced place that we went to for estimates on tattoos would not recommend going to this place the guy inside was very unprofessional

Lady at front desk was so rude she would cause this business to lose a lot of paying customers
Nice place. Friendly staff.
