Syndicate Tattoo

Awesome experience. My best friend and I went in on a walk-in Wednesday. Super high quality work, fun and welcoming staff and artists, great conversation… excellent environment. I have been to other shops for tattoos, but was so glad my friend could get her first one here. Highly recommend these guys!

I found myself bored on a Wednesday and after spending an hour looking for designs, I walked into Syndicate. Luckily, they werent too busy. Within a half hour, Joel had drawn up a sweet design from a few inspirations and had me in the chair. He was meticulous, organized, and friendly the whole time. Two hours later I was walking out with a new tattoo. Great place, great people, great prices!

Very friendly. Matt made me feel very comfortable. He asked a few times if I was good and ok. Great environment. I would highly recommend them. When I get another tat I will definitely go back.

Jason has always killed the needle work. I got lucky on a visit on walk-in Wednesday. 1st in the seat. Appreciate the conversation and especially your work every time bro. Your number #1 to me. (Sorry Sam).

I had gotten a couple of rather uncomplicated tattoos before at another shop near my hometown, but recently had an idea I really wanted to get done. I did have to schedule the appointment like a month in advance since I work all day, but the wait was well worth it. I picked a somewhat complex font, but Matt had no problem getting it done in a timely manner and making great small talk the whole time to keep me comfortable. Turned out great and seems to be healing very well. I’ve got a few other ideas in the tank so I will definitely be returning.

Highly recommend this shop! The shop is clean, organized, and visually fun to be in. Sam is so incredibly talented, and she exceeded my expectations for how I thought my tattoo would look. Her attention to detail was unbelievable and you can tell she really cares about what she does. I will definitely be going back for more!

Second time there today and it was just as excellent as first time. The staff is friendly, welcoming and fun. I laughed so much today! It’s rare to find a place that inviting that also (more importantly) does amazing work. I’ll be back again (and again). Already planning my next piece!! Give this place a try. You will not be disappointed!!

Wonderful place to get some work done. Had awesome art done from Matt on a matching tattoo! The staff is very friendly, super clean and happy to answer all questions. They even throw in an aftercare bag!

Jake was absolutely awesome with my first tattoo! he finished it super quick too, but it still looks like it took over 3 hours. he was super friendly and listened if i needed to take a quick break in the middle. i will definitely be coming back here for my future tattoos!!

Cannot recommend this shop enough. My artist was Sam who always does a great job. The shop conversation was funny and amusing, I will definitely be returning!

Jason did an amazing job with both of mine and my husband’s tattoos. He made sure everything was exactly what we wanted.We had a great experience at Syndicate!Definitely recommend getting your tattoos here!!!

Syndicate was the most professional, friendly tattoo shop I’ve ever been in. They did an amazing job creating a beautiful memory representative of my grandfather. I would 100% recommend Syndicate! Looking forward to my next with them!

This place and the people are great! Got 8 small tattoos with Sam today and she knocked it out of the park. Them being some of my first in highly noticeable areas I’m stoked with how pretty and feminine she was able to make them, worked with me on placement and size perfectly:) another artist Jason even took time out of his day to check out some work I’ve been needing covered when he didn’t have too. As someone who’s used to private studio artists I was throughly impressed with the overall vibe and everyone being so willing to take on different pieces. (And help fix another’s work) Will absolutely be coming back and finishing a full back piece here. 10/10 thank you so much Syndicate, Sam and Jason. Looking forward to much more art soon.

Sam is amazing! All the artist at syndicate are great if you’re looking for a tattoo I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Jake was my artist and I could not be happier ! He did an excellent job creating my tattoo!!! The place is super clean , the music is awesome, its just a great place to get a tattoo!!!! I highly recommend it !

For my first tattoo I decided to go with a half sleeve, Joel did an awesome job. My first session was over four hours, everyone kept up an interesting conversation and made it fun! I can’t wait for my next session!

I got my first two tattoos ever with Jason and I had a great experience! He was very calm and patient helping me figure out the placements I would love, I will absolutely be coming back for my future work!

Nice art work, nice people, nice atmosphere and super nice shop! I always love getting my tattoos done here! Need a tattoo? This is the place to go!!

Amazing atmosphere and artists. Jason did an excellent job bringing my vision to life. I dont see how it could have been any better.

By far the best environment and artists, hardest part of moving away from Kansas was losing all these awesome people

My artist was Joel, he did a phenomenal job on my cover up. He is polite, he enjoys his job and takes pride on his work. He is patient. I enjoyed the fact he put his own taste on the original cover up I picked, his work looks better than the piece I picked out.

First time visiting the shop & it was a wonderful experience! My tattoo artist Sam was so welcoming & talented to put my idea into artwork on my body. Definitely recommend if your looking for a new tattoo shop!

I absolutely recommend this shop. The process, from emailing my idea to getting ink done, was very professional and fun. Matt Goss was my artist and he did a fantastic job giving me a hexagon sleeve so that I can fill them in with tattoos as time goes on. He ensured the tattoo fit my specific arm, and was diligent in making it all fit together. The lines are very clean and he worked efficiently. I will be back for sure. Everyone working there was polite, funny, and welcoming.

This shop is so good I trust them to tattoo my 18 year kids and did I mention we fly in from Seattle just to see Matt and the crew. You’ll get top notch customer service, art work and leave with a smile and dope memories. Cannot recommend this crew enough.

My tattoo was done by Sam and she did an INCREDIBLE job!!! This was my fifth tattoo and first at Syndicate. This one was by far the best experience. I live in PA and was in town for K-State homecoming and the beat down of Okie State. I will likely be making the trip back for my next one and Sam will be my only choice!

I love my time in the chair at Syndicate. I have tattoos from three of their artists (one from before Syndicate was the place to go). Most recent with Sam and I LOVE it! This shop is my only recommendation for getting a tattoo!! Next one already scheduled and many more anticipated. Love the atmosphere and the artists!

Matt always goes above and beyond! Such an amazing tattoo artist & person. I have had multiple tattoos done by Matt and absolutely love them all. Amazing artists all around in this shop. Wonderful atmosphere and people, and their work speaks for itself, very clean, professional, SO talented, and worth every penny. You will not regret your time and money spent at Syndicate.

Great tattoo artists and great customer Service, they are very welcoming. Everyone there is so talented! Prices are 100% worth it!

Matt is an amazing artist and made the entire experience very enjoyable. Will definitely come back for him next time I’m in the area

Joel at Syndicate did my memorial tattoo for my grandfather and did an absolutely amazing job! All done within a timely manner as well. Made sure I was comfortable and more than happy with my product before leaving. Great atmosphere and the rest of the staff was amazing as well! Will definitely return for more work in the future! Thanks again!

Joel and all the artists at Syndicate are extremely talented. Beyond the talent though, they also are highly skilled and know their machines. I had FAR less skin disruption with the tattoo I got here than any other I have, healing is going well as a result.Update: Joel did such an amazing job on the first raven, I absolutely trusted him to do another. Beyond new ink, I will be back to have old ones touched up as well. Hopefully Ill have art from Jason and Matt as well. Absolutely cannot recommend this shop enough.

I’ve gone here and seen Sam twice and her work is AMAZING!! She is very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Will be making the commute to go here again.

Fun and sanitary environment! Definitely got what I wanted... still not complete yet, but so excited to see the finished result thanks to Joel!

Got my first tattoo today, was an awesome experience! These guys definitely do a great job! Sam, my artist, did an outstanding job, thank you very much! Definitely and highly recommend going to Syndicate!

We’ve been going to Sam at Syndicate for over a year and she (and the shop) are absolutely fantastic. It’s clean, well lit, and has the coolest decor. The artists are friendly and knowledgeable and you can tell they love their jobs. Sam does amazing high quality work and is great at working with you to figure out a design.

Incredibly disappointed i left an honest review of this shop and it was taken down. I have been a previous customer of this shop in 2019, this time i chose to pass on this shop because they had completely changed in costumer service, staff, and kindness. i had come in with my adult sister to get sentimental tattoos that our great grandma had drawn before she died. We were quoted $150 per tattoo and said they would need to be blown almost 4x their size.. we were blown away because they were the most simple flower drawings. The tattoos, had they been blown up to the size they insisted, would’ve looked horrible almost like cruel abstract art… the designs were meant to be small and i feel any artist should be capable of accomplishing a small tattoo, but overhearing the artist talking about our tattoo idea, it seemed as though we were an inconvenience. After this whole encounter, It felt like we were being incredibly taken advantage of. I have many tattoos and have never experienced such bad customer service. We left to another shop who took us in right away so kindly and did the most beautiful tribute tattoos we were looking for. The tattoo shop we ended up going to was also blown away that this shop wanted to blow up our tattoos a comical amount. While people might have good experiences here, i urge you to listen to to your gut if you feel this place is not right for you.

Syndicate Tattoo is one amazing establishment with absolutely incredible artists who are each extraordinarily talented in their own ways. I have spent so much time in the shop over the last few years and every time I go, I always stumble out of there feeling like Matt just relentlessly and mercilessly dug a needle into me for hours on end and it’s AWESOME. The shop itself is absolutely one of my favorite places to be. Listening to the artists banter is undeniably hilarious and the shop attracts some strange and unusual people with wild stories to say the least. I have to try and not burst out laughing the entire time I’m there in fear I’ll mess up the tattoo I’m getting. Overall, it’s a great environment with great people who I am grateful to call my friends; which is why I’m giving it one star!Just kidding.

I had Sam do two pieces for me. Both very important, but one was in my dads handwriting. Several other studios had told me it couldnt be done, but not Sam! She managed to do it perfectly! I couldnt be happier with my experience there. She and the rest of the crew were warm and lovely people. Ill be going there for my future tattoos!

I just got my second tattoo here with Matt Goss and I absolutely love it! Both tattoos have been amazing experiences with amazing people. All of the staff at Syndicate are kind, hardworking, and have a great sense of humor. If you’re looking for a relaxed atmosphere and quality work, look no further!!!!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience here! Syndicate was extremely professional and kind as this was my first tattoo. Matt explained the tattooing process, and was very accommodating to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I definitely recommend Syndicate for your next tattoo!

I loved everyone at this shop. They were all so kind and inviting. Jake was my artist and he did the best work I have ever seen. He put my nervous completely at ease!!!!

I got my first two tattoos from Sam today and I love her! Her vibes and the shops vibes are so amazing and she made me feel incredibly comfortable. So glad I went here for my first tattoo experience and will absolutely be coming back to Sam for any and all that she is willing to do!😆

I have a total of 6 tattoos from Syndicate. 4 by Matt and 2 by Sam. I have absolutely no desire to get tattooed anywhere else. The atmosphere and vibe is always perfect and welcoming. All of the artists are funny and care about giving you a quality tattoo that you will love. I’ve seen Matt and Sam take my ideas and create them into something that is more than I ever imagined it could be. I will always recommend Syndicate to anyone looking for fresh ink, touch ups, cover ups, or any other of your tattoo needs!

Clean, bright space with fun artists. Got a tribal(ish) style tattoo from Jason England and it turned out even better than I had anticipated. Very pleased with my experience at Syndicate.

I had a wonderful experience at Syndicate Tattoo. My artist, Sam, was so kind and funny. She was fast and did an incredible job. They also give you little goody bags to take home which was such a nice treat!

Me and my wife got our first tattoos today and we are super happy with Jake fielder and the work he put on us. Will be making more appointments in the future. Thank you so much!

I don’t really ever leave reviews but I got my first tattoo done yesterday and i’m so glad I got it done here. Everyone is pretty chill, straight to the point, and really nice. They all are amazing at what they do and produce some of the most beautiful and intricate pieces I have ever seen. If you want great results, go here.

I had a consultation with Matt today and his wife for a tattoo, first I just want to say how warm and inviting they both made me feel. Usually in the past going into a tattoo shop it’s a little uncomfortable for me but they welcomed me as soon as I stepped foot in the shop. It’s so beautiful. All the amazing art work on the walls and even had an area in the back to let me sit privately and wait with refreshments provided. I can’t wait to come back and get my tattoo done. Thank you so much. I was only to get one blurry pic of the waiting area but they also had books with beautiful art work to look at.

Sam was AMAZING!! She was light handed, funny, and incredibly artistic. I 1000% will be coming back!!

I had got a tattoo with Joel Smith. He did a really great job of taking in my preferences in style when making my tattoo. I had a good time talking with him and his coworkers. It was a really good experience.

Have been to Syndicate for multiple tattoos and have never been disappointed. Travel over 100 miles to sit in Jason’s chair. The other artist and front desk staff are cool, professional, and knowledgeable about the entire tattoo process.

Sam was amazing! She took the time to make sure I felt at ease and told me I could take as many breaks as I needed, even reminded me when it was time to move my car so I didn’t get a parking ticket with the new manhattan parking laws. I’ve always seen Matt in the past and was honestly hesitant to try someone new - but I’m SO glad I met Sam and I see now why the syndicate family has the best reputation. Thank you guys for always doing amazing work AND having a great attitude with everything - I’ve never found that anywhere else!

Great shop and great people. Recently restarted my tattoo journey and glad I chose Syndicate. Jason England is the man and all the other artists are extremely talented. You won’t be disappointed.DeShawn

Very professional and very caring, jason does a good job of making me feel included in the banter but gives me wicked good tattoos everytime

Review is long overdue. Got a tattoo done by Sam back in August, and I still absolutely love it! I gave her an idea of what I wanted, and she absolutely killed the custom design, as well as the line and color work. I’ve had several people stop me to compliment the work, and all that credit goes to Sam. Thanks again!

Love this place. They are so welcoming of all people which means a lot to me as a non-binary person! I’ve gotten tattoos from nearly everyone and they’ve been incredible.

Been here before and got an awesome tattoo, came back and got another. Literally such a cool shop. It’s a super clean shop, and the staff is super friendly and fun to sit with while you get work done. Cannot recommend them enough.

I dont want anyone but Lindsey to tattoo me from now on. She drew up a gorgeous black & grey scorpion and I love it. Best tattoo shop in Manhattan.

Recently got a piece done with Matt Goss super happy with the tattoo and even happier to have found such a great shop for future work! The staff was great and made the experience even better. The shop was very clean and inviting. I felt like the artist was easy to work with and provided clear after care instructions. Would highly recommend Syndicate Tattoo.

I’ve gotten tattooed by both Joel and Matt and have been very happy with the outcome! I always feel welcomed by everyone that works there!

Super clean shop, and the staff awesome to just sit and talk with while getting your tattoo done. They make you feel like family and every convo is a full shop convo! This is my third tattoo by Matt at Syndicate and I will be going back for more! Highly recommend them!

Me and my wife went three years ago for her first tattoo. We both got tatted by Jason and the experience was wonderful. He was pretty quick getting them done, art work was amazing, specially his line work and him just like the rest of the staff was friendly and very professional.We went in yesterday for piercings this time. It was pretty full but the staff worked quickly and proficiently to get everyone in and out. While waiting a older gentleman had not so nice things to say about what language and people should be allowed in the U.S. I wont lie, there was a heated discussion but the staff stepped in and let gentleman know that that type of behavior was not excepted and that his appointment was canceled.I have never gone to a place here in Kansas where they have shown me and my family so much respect, just like anyone should be shown the same.We felt secure and peaceful. Thank you guys for standing up for whats right. Definitely coming back.This place is full of laughs, happiness, positivity, peace and something a lot of places forget about; respect. Love this place and the atmosphere in it.

We worked with Sam, and she did an incredible job! The entire staff was extremely friendly, the shop is very clean with an awesome vibe and atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Matt did an amazing job with my request for a custom memorial tattoo. I have really, really sensitive skin and he took the time to explain how my normal skin care products might react while I was healing and stopped tattooing when it was best for me because my skin had had enough. He also let me know if the tattoo needed any touch ups because he had to stop that all I had to do was call. Everyone at the shop was super warm and friendly! Highly recommend.

Sam is absolutely amazing! I scheduled two weeks in advance through the shop and reached out to her via her Instagram @smittenkittensarts, and she was incredibly reception. I felt so comfortable with her, especially considering my tattoo was close to sensitive areas, and her work is AMAZING, so much better than I had dreamed. The comfort, skill, and conversation are definitely worth a visit!

We were able to walk in on a Saturday and get scheduled for later in the day. We are super happy with our work and would recommend to anyone. Matt was personable and did an amazing job.

Sam did an absolutely amazing job on my tattoo! She made me feel so comfortable, and she pays close attention to detail which I really appreciate. I highly recommend having her do your tattoos— I’m sure I’ll be back for another one!

Sam is the best. Top notch, cant be happier.

I have gotten both a tattoo here and some piercings here.Jason, the artist, was great. Very clean and professional. Great to talk with about what you want and delivers it. Saw both my fiance and I on the same appointment. One of the best tattooing experiences Ive had. Jason was also very keen to check up on my tattoo when I returned to get some piercings. Will definitely be coming back for more.John, the piercer, was also great. Described what exactly he would do and what it would feel like and thats what happened. Talked with me about my concerns about a septum piercing and answered all my questions. It was done and over with before I could blink. Will be returning for this as well!Both services are priced well. Had a great time here.

I cannot give enough praise to Syndicate Tattoo and its staff. Ive gotten a piece done by almost every artist here, but I mostly work with Jason (so sorry I havent gotten my piece finished yet, dont hate me). Everyone here is beyond professional and its such a welcoming environment once you walk inside those doors. One tattoo I got, I started to feel lightheaded and Jason & Lindsey made sure I was taken care of and helped me feel better by providing me with some juice and a small snack. They truly care about your wellbeing and want you to have an above and beyond experience here. Matt, the owner, is one of the nicest people Ive ever spoken too and hes also one hell of an artist. I would recommend Syndicate over and over again to anyone who asks me. I really cant say anything negative about the place.ALSO, Ive gone to John, the piercer, for years now. He is one of the chillest guys youll ever meet. I know he cares about what he does because hell help you find the jewelry that suits you best and let you know whats gonna be flattering on you. I really cant get myself to see somebody else because John not only does great piercings, hes just so easy to talk to, so it really lessens any anxiety I have over getting pierced because ya girl knows shes in good hands.Syndicate is seriously one of the only shops I really trust. Im a forever client, or for as long as they tolerate me :)

My first tattoo ever was 2 weeks ago. I was impressed with this shop’s professionalism from the moment I got my quote to the minute I left the shop. And ever since I left, I’ve been dying to get back. Matt made me feel completely at ease and clearly knows his stuff. I got a book tattoo and he casually suggested a book sleeve, and honestly I can’t stop thinking about that! I’ve gotten nothing but compliments on how clean and sharp the lines are in my tattoo. Can’t wait to come back!

Matt was a consummate professional and did an excellent job on my tattoo. He gave me options, asked me questions, and made sure I got what I was looking for. The facility was bright, welcoming, and spotless. Everything about the experience made me feel comfortable and valued.

Matt was very nice and made me feel comfortable when I was getting my first tattoo. He let me know what he was doing and helped me be less nervous. I love the way my tattoo turned out. Would definitely recommend this place, very professional and trustworthy.

This place was clean, and well organized. The staff was extremely nice and helped me with my first and second tattoo. Jason is very talented and turned my ideas into the perfect tattoos. There were minor tweaks I asked him to make to the sketch before he started tattooing and he did it for me no problem. When I went back for my second tattoo he touched up my previous one at no cost. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

John is amazing! Ive been pierced in many different places by many different artists from California to Montana and back, and John is hands down the best! Hes so personable and funny. Hes been doing this for 19 years, and I definitely felt like I was in great hands. Hes awesome and the prices are super reasonable! I will definitely be back for more!

I got a body piercing from John. He is clean! He incredibly professional. He educated me on post care instructions. He THROWS AWAY the used instruments. He was so pleasant and made my experience enjoyable. He has being doing this for 20 years and knows exactly what he is doing. It was very reassuring to know that I was being cared for with the utmost professionalism and protection during the body peircing procedure. I cannot say enough great things about him and the overall experience! Highly recommend John!

I absolutely love them! I got my very first tattoo here on the 3rd...and all I have to say is theyre all so incredible! Tony was my artist and he was nothing but happy and friendly and kind, as well as the other artists, they all had their own banter and ways to make the atmosphere more relaxing. I recommend this place to anyone I can now haha theyre reasonably priced for the amount and quality of work that they do and I couldnt be happier about my tattoo.

Matt and his crew are the it team downtown. I really enjoyed the fact that I got welcomed in and everyone seemed to be enjoying their day. Thats the energy you want in a shop. Professional and friendly. Looking forward to seeing them again for work.

I have taken my daughter to Syndicate a few separate times to have her tragus and rook pierced. John Fitzgerald is amazing! He is open and honest about everything up front, polite, and courteous. The shop is always clean and the art and artists are top notch! I would recommend this shop every day of the week. Thank you John for taking such great care and pride in your customers and craft. We will definitely keep coming back.

Matt did an awesome job on tattoos for my dad and I. The shop is super clean and everyone is very friendly. A fun shop to be in. Will definitely be back for my next tattoo!

Got a touch up of a decade old tattoo that Jason did originally. Orange just faded due to UV exposure, my fault. The rest of the tattoo is still pristine. Just as happy with the touch up as I was with the original.

My first tattoo and Matt made it a great experience. His professionalism was way more than my expectations. Very happy with the results.

I have received a few piercing from John, and some not by him. I have only had an issue with one piercing which he did his best to fix although it was not originally done by him. He was very helpful and accommodating as well as offered great suggestions and showed he wanted the piercing to be right and heal correctly. I believe this says a lot about a piercer and a shop with how they treat their clients. I highly recommend John.

My experience was amazing! It was my first tattoo and I am so glad I waited so long and found the perfect artist. Lindseys art is top notch and her tattooing is beautiful. She captures all the details one could want. Already planning future projects.

I got my first piercing here (my tongue) and the piercer was amazing and very understanding. I didnt really shop around price wise so Im not sure what a normal price is but I thought the $40 they charged was very reasonable. I went back after it healed and he changed out the jewelry for me.Edit - I ended up going back and getting my belly button done. Same great experience!

I had two tattoos done here one in July 2019 and the other Feb 2020. I had different artists, I believe one was Matt and the other was a beginner female who barely had time practicing. One thing I learned is that they dont design, they only copy and paste from a picture you take. I had to get my first tattoo redone by someone else not in this shop because it looked incomplete, there was no details added. My second one Im getting removed since the artist said she can do what I asked and ended up giving me something else. Everything was completely wrong and was even mistaken for a temporary tattoo. Embarrassing having to deal with it and hated having to look at it.

I went to Syndicate yesterday to get my arm piece reworked; I had Matt and he was awesome. My piece is very sentimental to me and he took his time in making it just as special to me as it had been before. It looks amazing and I cant wait to go back to get more added to it. No complaints on my end. Everyone in the shop was awesome.

Got a nose piercing done here ($55) and the staff was very friendly and super funny. I was a bit nervous but John made sure I was okay after getting a little dizzy and made sure I understood how to care for it. Overall a very good place for piercings and tattoos!

Awesome service! Not only was John extremely knowledgeable, but he informed me step by step over what he was doing & why. Was clear and conscise about after care instructions as well. Also provided a very clean & comfortable atmosphere! Definitely will be back for my piercing needs. :)

There are certain things I look for before choosing where to get my next tattoo, and for everything Ive seen online, this shop hits every criteria! Professional, stands by ethics, clean, reasonable prices, high quality talent, friendly, and willing to tell customers with honesty and tact if theyre making a bad choice on tattoo and/or cover up selection. For everything theyve displayed online, I will be a customer very soon! Wish I could give 10 stars!

Went in to get my wifes small tattoo touched up. Very friendly people . Sam at the front desk is a young lady from our home town. She does great. The tattoo artist was great and very friendly. Highly recommend.

Syndicate is an awesome tattoo shop with amazing artists. I’m so happy with my tattoos from Jason and I always enjoy the atmosphere in the shop!!!

Love, love, love this place! I have only had piercings done here (like 5 or so) and their piercer is amazing. Hes really nice and fills you in on everything to do and will help you out if you have any complications!Definitely would recommend!

Got my tattoo and my piercing done here and will definitely go back! Super chill and staff is amazing. The tattoo artist know what theyre doing and will give input if you want it. Great conversation and great turn out. Beest place in Manhattan for piercings and tattoos

Joel and all the artists are highly skilled. The artwork speaks for itself, but its the other things that set them apart. They know how to properly use the equipment to give you a tattoo that heals well, causes minimal skin disruption, and they answer all your questions with thoughtfulness and a friendly attitude.

I have only had piercings done here but John is my absolute favorite! He makes you feel so comfortable and will answer any questions even if you have them once your done and at home! Anyone needing a piercing in the manhattan area go see John Fitzgerald!!

I felt very comfortable and the artist was great and reassuring despite me psyching myself up over getting my first tattoo. Will be going back!

I have tattoos from two different artist at Syndicate as well as one from Stray Cat. I have tattoos from Anthony and Adrian. They both are great artist and did really good work. Very friendly, professional and put you at ease. They are both very patient and really put in the time to make sure everything is perfect- for example they dont make you feel like you are wasting their time if you want to change something or adjust placement etc (unlike Stray Cat). The prices are very reasonable without being a dirt cheap tattoos type place. The atmosphere is bright and friendly with artist chatting with customers casually. You really feel welcomed. I will say that the only thing I found off putting is that the counter lady can be a little unfriendly at first but thats probably from dealing with a lot of jackasses who waste her time daily that never actually put any money up. Overall I would highly recommend this shop and plan to go back myself.

When I made the appointment my service dog was with me I told him that I would not have my dog with me when I want to come in for the tattoo that my husband would beiwith me instead. They were very kind and understanding they told me that if I need both of them there with me then bring them.As for my tattoo I couldnt of asked for a better job. He did outstanding work. He had to correct a tattoo that I had done somewhere else and they did a wonderful job. I do not know the name of the person that did my tattoo but I believe that he was the ownerI would definitely recommend this tattoo shop to anybody

I have gotten 3 piercings from John and hes amazing. I have quite a few piercings and Ive been to 4 different piercers in 4 different citys, syndicates prices are fair and in line with everywhere else Ive been. You get what you pay for. Youre getting high quality jewelry and an experienced piercer. I also really appreciate that he will change your piercing for you, for free! Some piercings are difficult to change by yourself, especially at first. I was also tattooed by Tony, he turned a picture the sice of a nickel into a two inch tattoo and it looks great.

I got my nose re-pierced here and it has healed up so much better and faster than it did when I originally got it done at a different shop. I was able to walk-in on a whim and I only had to wait for maybe 15-20 minutes for the two people who were ahead of me. It was quick and easy but he also made sure I knew how to take care of it and he assured me that I could go back for help with it at any time.

Setup an appointment with a $100 deposit. Their policy requires a 24 hour notice for rescheduling. I had an extreme emergency come up the day of the appointment. Called to explain the situation. No exception was made, a different time was not offered, and none of the deposit was refunded. There was no understanding on their part, just rudeness. I will not be going back and will not recommend Syndicate to anyone else.

Great work! I came to Matt with a sloppy first session tattoo that had crooked lines, and no depth to any of the art. Matt was able to somehow straighten the lines and add so much depth to my art. Unfortunately, I had to leave for a deployment before I could finish the piece with him, but look forward to returning home and scheduling my next session with him. Great, clean shop....would recommend it to anyone in the Manhattan looking for some new ink. Thanks Matt!

Love this place so much, the staff takes great care of you, the artists are all knowledgeable and talented. They can dreams into reality. Jason is my go to guy but everyone there is talented as hell. Very happy with this place and will be back again and again.

I have had two tattoos done by Sam now! She is great! Only place Ill go in MHK!

Sam is Great! Both of my tattoos came from this shop. The one done by her is my favorite! She does amazing work!

Had amazing service. I had a belly ring before which rejected, and a guy at a different shop gave me a bad experience. They were very friendly answered all of my questions about my nose ring and making sure I was getting the best thing for me (side to be put on, ring vs. stud type of metal etc.) and were very patient with me (I am a fainter and he let me sit in his chair until I thought I was okay despite getting ready to close). All in all a very very good experience, and reasonably priced. It was very clean and the staff joked around with me. Will 100% be returning

Ive been getting tattoos for years now and have been in many shops. From their cleanliness to professionalism and skill, I have had nothing but a wonderful experience. I continue to recommend this shop to anybody that asks. I wont go anywhere else!

Adrian did a stomach tattoo for me of a Cheshire cat a few months ago! It was super painful and he was very understanding. I tried not to squirm, but darn...that hurt! :). I am contemplating another tattoo and I would be honored to have Adrian be my artist! His work has amazing depth and personality. The shop was clean and the atmosphere friendly. I will return

Very friendly. Got a belly button piercing. The piercer was very thorough with making sure the placement was right and giving proper instructions of how to take care of it during the healing process. And the piercing did not hurt a bit!

Just got my second tattoo done at Syndicate! Thanks Matt, awesome job again!

Great shop, super clean and great with customers. Tony had to freehand my tattoo on me and did an amazing job. Their customer service was great and Tony really took his time to make sure I got the art I wanted. This is easily the best shop in the area.

Matt is a great artist and is very attentive to what I had envisioned for my tattoo. The shop has the best atmosphere of any shop I have ever been in. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!

Great experience all around. Matt has done an amazing job. He takes the time to make sure its right. Sometimes I think I go more for the laughs than the tats. Everbody in the shop thinks they are a comedian, even if one of them has to explain to everyone why it SHOULD be funny.

Great place got my first tattoo with Sam she did amazing and was really nice took good care of me and the tattoo

This is the top tattoo shop to go to. The pricing is super expnesive, though they do charge hourly, and the artists are genuine about their work. Everything was handled professionally and the standard is held high. Great shop!My one gripe is that, the artists are not as helpful. maybe so they cant be to blame for a bad tattoo, but they are like doctors, they dont really answer your specific questions. They give you a vague run around hoping you can answer it yourself so they are not held liable.

Best tattoo parlor in town. Matt is the best and everyone gets along so well. My wife and I have multiple tattoos done by Matt. You cant go wrong by going here.

Syndicate is the only shop in the manhattan area that I would consider going to because of how great their work is. Adrian has designed my whole left sleeve and it came out better than I couldve expected. I live in Wichita where shops are a dime a dozen and I still make the 2 1/2 hour commute any time I want more work done.

I got my daith pierced somewhere without doing enough research. After six months of pain a friend referred me to John at Syndicate. Within five minutes I had a new, appropriately sized, ring and some sound advice on care. My daith was 80% better in less than a week. Johns the man! Everyone made me feel very comfortable and I only got a little bit of grief for not doing my research the first time (it was kind of like getting reprimanded by an older brother and was WELL deserved haha).

Super clean and professional! Tony is one of the best artists Ive ever gotten to work with and I couldnt be happier with how my tattoo turned out. I will absolutely be going back!

I have four other tattoos on me. three from a shop in GA and one from a shop right there in Junction City. it drives me crazy to have a piece on me that isnt done perfect. unfortunately, that is the way a few of my pieces are. i now have a flawlessly awesome Runic compass on my arm and will be going back shortly to get my other piece done shortly. i would definitely like to say thank you so much ANTHONY.

Nice, helpful people. I got my first tattoo here, and Im glad that I did. They made the process so easy and no hassle. Tony was a great person that makes me want to continue.

Matt was the tattoo artist that helped me today and he did a fantastic job. My tattoo is very sentimental and he paid attention to every detail to make it perfect and special.

Great work! Sam was Super relaxed and personable. I am very happy with my tattoo, can’t want to come back!

Great, friendly and talented crew here. Have been working on a leg sleeve for the last couple years with Matt and am very satisfied. Would recommend to all my friends and family.

I got my daughters footprint tattooed and I LOVE it. it was my first & the people were great. its a very clean place, and very laid back. I recommend everyone to go here, I know Ill be returning.

Theyre frauds. My friends are no stranger to ink and have been pierced here before with no problem. They both made appointments for 1 PM for a new tattoo and when showed up was told it was at noon, the card said 1, but they will not honor the original time and stole $100, refusing to refund it as well. That is no small amount.

Matt was an awesome artist! Great/clean environment and the place being gender friendly is definitely a plus. Definitely going back for my next half sleeve 🤘

Had an amazing first tattoo experience with Sam! i would recommend this place to anybody

Great experience and I love my new piece. Thanks Matt. Can’t wait for my next one.

More expensive than most tattoo shops Ive ever been too. The same as most other Manhattan, KS businesses.. This is generally refered to as the college/military kid tax.There is absolutely no reason to justify the higher prices. The artists here arent above average in the slightest so what warrants these prices??? A lot of the art I was shown was basically mediocre.What I found worst of all is that this place is staffed by a bunch of weirdos from whom I got a strong inclination (from over hearing some of the bizarre conversation in this place) that they are seemingly radical freaks.

John is an amazing piercer. He has done my last 12 piercings. He is super professional about everything and great at making sure he explains everything.

Super easy experience getting in contact and planning the tattoo. Sam was so kind and amazing at what she does!

Artists and Veterans stay away! They do not honor or treat either with respect. They kick you out and threaten to call the police on you if you dont leave when you call the owner out on his dishonest & unethical business policies.If youre an artist, and bring your own work in for a tattoo, DO NOT let them make a copy of it. Its shop policy that once you allow them to make a copy your artwork becomes their property. This happened to me today, when I came in to find out about how much theyd charge for a mother/daughter tattoo I designed. They refused to give the copy of my work back to me, claiming it was now their property because they made a copy of it. Check my Yelp review of their shop for a full account of what happened. Google wont allow me to post the whole story here.

Stellar! Professional & kind shop with wonderfully talented artists. Ali did my brows and was a dream to work with. I would travel hundreds of miles for the service and professionalism at Syndicate.

Great place to get some ink work done, everyone in the place is friendly, uplifting, they encourage each other and take a genuine interest in your tattoo even if theyre not the artist doing it.

John was super fun, he made my piercing experience so relaxing by joking with me to keep it entertaining. His skills are on point, Ill be back for jewelry and any other future work I may get done

Fun and enjoyable time. Great place for a first timer getting a tattoo.

Great conversation with artist. Made me very comfortable. Did an amazing job! Better than I expected!

Love this shop and my new tattoo! Thanks, Matt, for doing an amazing job! I highly recommend this place - the atmosphere, employees, and art are all awesome.

Best bunch of weirdos and radical freaks Ive had the pleasure of spending time with!!! I was so comfortable and everyone at the shop was friendly. From what I saw it looked like everyone did great work and the atmosphere was great!

Haven’t ever been to this shop but I plan on it now!! Stand for what you believe in!! Y’all will be seeing me soon, I have so much more ink I need and I’ve been looking for a shop! Glad I found one with equality and morals.

Well, got my first tattoo here. Simple (may not that simple as its Arabic?) words on inner wrist. The letters were slightly bigger and thicker than I wanted, but I was told that was the smallest font (I dont quite understand as Ive seen others having smaller ones) they can go. Initial result after healing was ok but not perfect as edges of some letters were not sharp straight and the ink was not even among all the letters. So I scheduled a retouch. He quickly gave some fixing on the letters I asked for, but slightly made me feel him being impatient and indifferent... Everything happened too fast (5min initial work + 5min fixing) and now with even thicker lines and less space between letters, he told me you know that these lines will become thicker in a couple years... And he pointed his own tattoo as an example for me. It had been too late for me to say anything... The I (the initial Alif) became obese and had a unproportional fat bottom. I realized only now that the letters would join each other and become illiterate in the future. I was just too upset and its useless to say anything after its already done. I really really dont understand how he didnt tell me that before he actually added those lines with heavy hand!!! Arrrrgggghhhh~~~~To avoid being in my position, make sure you talk (before anything is done) SUFFICIENTLY so that you are confident that your artist understand what you want. If its foreign language, make sure they know how to write it properly. It may not be particularly interesting for the artist if your tattoo is just too simple so that they might be indifferent and dont pay much attention or care. Its especially important that YOU insist that they give their best performance because nothing is too simple to you, and you want it to be perfect even though its just a straight line. People with soft personalities, you need to be tough on this. Just DO NOT rush into it!

Well every time I have gone into the shop it has always been welcoming and understanding on what I would like to get. They are always so nice, and very talented artists. I will go back many times.

Great staff the guy who did my tattoo was amazing made it a great experience will definitely be back also they are crushing it at being clean they are wiping everything down constantly everyones got a mask they really care about your comfort and safety

These guys are amazing! Tony is the man. Always a welcome atmosphere and great work. Love everything they have done so far. Thanks again!

Didnt have an appt and needed two earrings to be removed. They did it for me.

This place is only after your money. The receptionist was extremely rude and wouldnt even let me get a word in. She just kept referring me to their website. You would think I had ebola the way she acted. Never before have I seen such horrible customer service. Even at Walmart, and thats saying a lot. I dont know how they are still in business if thats how this place is run. I only give them one star because I have to.

This place is completly overated. I saw their work and thats why they deserve a 3. However pricing wise was not cool. I was going to get a a small forearm piece and he quoted $200. In Texas where im orginally from, I couldve got it for less than $100 and BETTER QUALITY.SMH small town, just because you the only dont mean you charge people out the ass. Also their hours are completly stupid and ridiculous.

Thank you Matt for my latest piece. The shop is stunning. Cant wait to come sit for my next therapy session.

John was awesome when I went to get my nose pierced about a month ago. He knows his stuff & is someone you can definitely trust :)

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere! Jason did amazing work on my cover up!! Highly recommend!

I wanted to use Syndicate, but at 2:00pm on a thursday the place was locked up.Two adult women sitting inside by front window just sat there and looked at me, but no help.

The best in the business. Talented, experienced, whatever you want or need, any if these artists are highly qualified.

Their piercing specialist is the best! Hes very sweet and professional. I like that hes available to answer questions or concerns via FB also.

Disappointed. I keep hearing a dog barking everytime I walk by the business. Owner seemed very passive aggressive about it when I went to discuss it with him/her/they.

Ive spent 7 hours in the chair with Jason and each session is never uneventful. Great atmosphere with an extremely personable staff of talented artists.

Got my first tattoo here and Matt did an amazing job!

They were all very nice and friendly. I got exactly the tattoo I wanted.

They made my first tattoo experience very pleasant!

They are very friendly and put their customers at ease why they are working on your tattoo. I would recommend them to anyone.

Ive had several tats from Matt over the years including when he was apprenticing many moons ago. I need to back and have him a couple more when I have time.

Jon for piercing is great! Made my wife and I feel right at home! Will continue to go!

Just awful I dont know who the gentleman was tonight but he is rude and very disrespectful.....Update to your response...I understand where you are coming from and on behalf of myself and friends I apologized but at the end of the day we were paying customers and the comments of the gentleman that was involved in the incident were very rude and unprofessional and I will not apologize for how my friend behaved after the fact he had it coming and since you cant be human enough to apologize on behalf of yourslf or your employee I will not be doing business with you guys ever....have a great day

Tony was amazing. Helped me with a cool coverup

Great experience, Joel was excellent, art turned out great. Thanks!

I just got a tattoo by Lindsey, the apprentice. She did such an amazing job!! I will definitely be going back to her!

If you go to Syndicate, DONT go to Anthony. ANYONE BUT him. Cant even get a simple ring around the finger right. Asked him if it could be corrected, he said itd be $50 again. I asked what about it being crooked and uneven? Then he got rude Im not interested, find someone else to do it in a condescending tone. Faded from the beginning, crooked and uneven widths. Some professional...

Thanks to Jason and staff for the great experience and awesome tattoos! We will definitely be back!

I love Anthony he did my hakuna matata tattoo and it was a great experience. Im going back to get my daughters foot print on my foot I hope he can do it

Joel was awesome. did an awesome job with what i asked of him. the whole crew was fantabulous. thanks

Its a college town so expect your prices to be a little higher than normal. The more you come back the cheaper it seems to be. Return service is appreciated.

Heard of the integrity of this place. Thank you for standing up. Plan to get a tattoo here next time I pass through.

Gorgeous work every time!

Lovely shop, lovely artists and awesome tattoos!

Matt Was Very Nice Helpful The Place Was Clean And Organized I Would Recommend Anyone For Tatoos Or Piercings To Go There !!

Very nice people, got my nose pierced and it was very fast and didn’t hurt as bad as I thought

Great place, they give great advice for your piercings and high quality jewelry. A+

All the artists are awesome. Real chill, fairly priced, and willing to figure it out with you.

Prices are great and the work is amazing. Jason did a great job!

Very nice people! Had my first navel piercing done here.

Best place to go in the area. Im comfortable enough I told my elderly mother this is the only shop to use.
