Marcus is a phenomenal artist and extremely patient and understanding with newer tattoo clients! Marcus helped me realize my design I wanted to the fullest and helped me understand the tattoo process as a whole. I’m so thankful for him and his work as my tattoos are amazingly awesome! Equilibrium is an amazing place to get work done as the atmosphere is fantastic and welcoming to all people. 100% recommend equilibrium.
Ive never felt more comfortable in a tattoo shop! Marcus and everyone in the shop is incredibly friendly and accommodating and just want you to walk away with a great tattoo! Marcus works his butt off for his clients and it shows. Im in the middle of getting a large cover up and hes done a great job of explaining how the elements of the cover up work to conceal the old one keeping me involved in the process the whole time. 10/10 would recommend to anyone getting their first tattoo or if youve gotten a couple already.
Marcus is a great person and a great tattoo artist! He made me feel very welcoming and at ease because it was my very first tattoo! He answered all my questions and was very cool. Will be going back for more! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting a good, Quality tattoo artist!
Great experience getting my first tattoo with Marcus. He made the process so easy and helped me get exactly what I wanted. 10/10 recommend!
This is my second time being tattooed at this shop! I love the atmosphere and the people who work here! Great work, friendly experience and some of the best conversations I’ve had in awhile. Honestly great vibes all around!
My #1 choice for a tattoo shop in town! Very talented artists with the most welcoming and warm vibe. You will never be talked down to or intimidated at this shop! Quality work and quality people all around :)
Marcus was absolutely incredible at doing my tattoo, he really went out of his way asking me what I wanted and a great guy to talk to while getting my tattoo.
Marcus is AMAZING! He takes your vision and turns it into a reality. He is truly an artist and I trust him with permanently inking me anytime! I am so happy when I am getting my art done with him. Thank you Marcus for everything over the years!
Marcus and Helen are both amazing! I had tattoos done by both and they turned out absolutely phenomenal. I am so happy with the work I had done there and I will absolutely be back in the future.
I am beyond thrilled with the results with Marcus and his creative juices! My hand tattoo was first done by a family friend and after consulting with Marcus he took full creativity with what I wanted and blew this out the park !!!I definitely excited for my next session and will be frequently looking forward to work with him on future projects 🤎Thank you Marcus for a riveting experience and for the laughs and just all around great vibes ! 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Marcus was amazing he did my sister and I tattoo! He was very professional and clean! Will be going back to him for more of my tattoo in the near future!
Marcus and the Equilibrium crew are so incredibly kind and talented! And they offer such an inviting and safe space to be tattooed🫶🏼
Marcus has done 2 tattoos on me and I love how they have turned out! His attention to detail is exquisite! He can make anyone feel comfortable in his chair! I highly recommend him! The shop is fun and inviting and the gallery highlights local artists of all stages of life.
If I could I definitely would give 10 stars, I got a memorial tattoo for my mother today, it was a very rough day that was made into a beautiful memory. Im so glad I came and got this tattoo that will always hold memories! Thank you so much to Marcus!
BEST TATTOO SHOP IN TOWN!!! i could not recommend this place enough. both artists are incredibly friendly and marcus did an INCREDIBLE job on not only fixing two tattoos i previously had done (at another place), but also on the new tattoo that i decided to get. Truly the most TALENTED and friendliest people you will ever meet work right here in this shop. Any time i need a tattoo i know where to go (and you should go too!!!)
Marcus IS the best tattoo artist I have ever been to or seen lasting work that you will not regret. Hes truly the a great person and down to earth. I have known him for over a decade now. You will definitely get what you want from this ink master (my vote).
All my tattoos have been done by Marcus at Equilibrium. The professionalism and atmosphere can only be outshined by the sheer talent. Marcus can duplicate found designs, but also create beautiful custom art and lettering, his pointillism is probably my favorite of all. Everyone is so friendly. The whole experience is comfortable. And they provide great aftercare! They also support local artists by displaying art in their gallery. I will only go to Equilibrium for my tattoo art. Highly recommend!
Equilibrium is a very welcoming place that made me feel right at home. Helen was amazing and helped put my anxiety at ease for my first tattoo. Theyve done three pieces for me now and I can really trust their work. I highly recommend the shop to anyone looking for high quality work.
Marcus is an amazing tattoo artist! He knows what he is doing, and he can correct other artist’s mistakes. Helen is also awesome! I wasn’t tattooed by her, but I saw her work.
Everyone here is fantastic. Marcus did a chest piece on a friend of mine and the moment I saw it, I knew I wanted him to do my sleeve. Its been a year and half in the making so far and Im still excited for every appointment. I travel 2 1/2 hours one way for this because its nice to have an artist that is excited to do the work as much as you are excited to have the art.
This tattoo experience has been nothing but phenomenal. Marcus is knowledge and very talented. I will be continuing all my work here.
Okay, I dont even know where to start with this. Ive been going to Marcus for a couple of years now and man, oh man, is he fantastic! Not only is he a PHENOMENAL artist, he is also a pretty great therapist 🤭 if Im being honest, the man knows way too much about me 😅 BUT back to the art, I go in with an idea and he brings that to life and does such an amazing job! We have done a full Disney sleeve, a cherry blossom tree that covers about 80% of my chest and half my neck(that is a coverup I might add), and the amount of compliments I get isnt almost insane to think about! Now we are starting a flower/garden sleeve, and let me tell you, I am not always easy to deal with, and he does a GREAT job 😅 I will ALWAYS recommend Marcus to everyone I meet!
I have been getting tattoos done by Marcus since I moved to KS in 2018. He is an amazing artist and truly listens to what you want. He gives advice and input on how to make your tattoo ideas better than you could ever imagine. Even after moving to DC, I still fly out to get tattooed by Marcus. Their new shop is huge and very cleanly. They also display local artists artwork, some of which you can purchase. I can’t say enough good things about Marcus and Equilibrium tattoo and I recommend anyone looking to get a tattoo to go to them!
From the moment I made the appointment all the way to the end of my appointment, the client service was amazing. I had an idea of what I wanted, and Marcus took it to the next level and made it 1000 times better. The environment is welcoming and friendly. Ive been wanting a tattoo from this place for a while, and now its the only place Ill go to in the future. They are fantastic!
Equilbrium provides such a unique experience and all my ink has been done by Marcus. I say unique because the team provides a genuine, comforting environment and are happy to lend their expertise and insight so youll be confident the finished piece is one youll love and be proud to share. He has such a gentle touch and all my sessions have been fun and rewarding. They are all just super good people. If youre on the fence, go check them out. They are amazing and ready to bring your ideas to life!
Great people and great art. Marcus has done all my tattoos and I’ve only had good experiences. I highly recommend him or Helen for your tattoo needs
By far my favorite tattoo shop! I’ve been getting a half sleeve done here for about 6 months now and it’s been a wonderful experience. The vibes are so friendly, the artists are extremely talented and fun to be around, and the atmosphere in general is just pleasant. I couldn’t be happier with the work I’ve gotten done and I will always recommend this place to people.
This is the absolute BEST place to get a tattoo. Everything about Equilibrium SCREAMS comforting, inviting, and inclusive. Such a beautiful shop with beautiful people working in it. The talent is UNREAL. 1000/10 would recommend! I encourage everyone to go in and meet these kind souls to see what theyre capable of! They will not disappoint. Not to mention the STUNNING artwork they have displayed in the shop from local artists. If youre looking for a place where you can be your truest most authentic self with no judgement this is the place to be!!!
Both artists at equilibrium are incredibly talented and fun to work with! Marcus, the shop owner is professional but still knows how to have fun with his clients! And Helen is incredibly endearing and a sweet human being! Both of their work is amazing and I would recommend both to anyone!
I always love going to Equilibrium Tattoo, and their new location is absolutely beautiful! A great experience, and always a great result - I get so many complements on Marcuss artwork!
Marcus did an amazing job on my scar cover up! Very friendly and awesome artist!
Marcus is a great artist and, since youre stuck in one place for several hours anyway, a great person to talk to! Im excited for my finished piece!😁
Marcus did my tattoo, absolutely loved it! 100/10 definitely recommend
Marcus did both my tattoo & my daughters tattoo. Absolutely wonderful job! Very professional! Well be back again for sure!!!
Best experience ever!!! Absolutely love the atmosphere!!!! Will recommend to anyone and everyone over and over!!! Totally worth the wait if you cant get in right away!!! Theyre busy for a reason!!!
I adore this place! They produce super lovely tattoos done with precision and care. Can’t recommend Helen and Marcus enough! I’ve gotten several pieces done and I love them.
I got a piece of flash from Helen during a walk-in and it was great. I love the tattoo and it only took about 20 minutes. Definitely plan on coming back for more, I love their art style.
Absolutely LOVED my experience with Marcus. He made me feel so comfortable and does such amazing work! :)
Marcus is amazing. Walked in ready to get something finished and he made it look better than I could ever imagine. 100/10 highly recommend!!!!
Friendly and accommodating staff, good vibe, and amazing artistry! Best tattoo experience I have had by far.
The shop is very cozy and welcoming, and Helen is an incredible artist. I will definitely be going back for more ink in the future.
Marcus is the man, takes him time making sure you get exactly what you want and nothin you dont. Fantastic shop
10/10, definitely recommend Marcus! His work is beautiful and I can’t wait to come back!
Marcus is absolutely wonderful and great to work with. He’s the friend you’ve had your whole life you didn’t know you had.
Beautiful art everywhere, friendly/inclusive staff, and skilled artists that put out badass tattoos. What more can you want?
There is no other shop that I would allow to tattoo me. Marcus did a phenomenal job on a forearm sleeve about 18 months ago, providing a comfortable, safe, and inviting space during the 10 hours I spent with him. So when I had a vision in my head for a leg sleeve (do we call it a sleeve when it’s on a leg? lol) that represents my neurodivergence and complex PTSD, I knew that Equilibrium would be a safe place to share my story. Because I lack all creativity, after sharing my story with Marcus and sharing some images that resonate with me, I am allowing him complete artistic freedom in the piece. I trust his vision completely and have another 30 hours scheduled with him over the next 7 months.I’ve also been tattooed by Helen and she did a spectacular job on my little Lego man.If you are looking for a shop that is safe, especially for the LGBTQ community, and feels like home, but you want an exceptional tattoo, look no further.
Marcus is fantastic !! He got us on his schedule with ease and was very flexible. He made the experience fantastic for our people who were first timer’s. 10/10 recommend. Vibes are immaculate
