Big Guns Tattoo Oshkosh

Jon is awesome! Very friendly and designed this piece to all my liking and ideas. Before Jon I had another artist from this shop before he moved. The entire staff Is awesome. Will be getting many more from Jon. I highly recommend Big Guns!

Everyone is always so nice, and Paige is an excellent piercer. She is so helpful and easy to work with. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Hands down, love my tattoo artist, Jon Handler! He has inked me since 2015 and I will continue the journey with him as long as he’s working! He makes me feel comfortable and at ease. He listens and makes a beautiful masterpiece. I appreciate all you do Jon! Until next time. He’s stuck with me 🙂

I have gotten almost all of my piercings done by Paige and I have never had a single bad experience before. I have 27 piercings and she has done 20 of them. ALWAYS so kind and so so so professional. I’ve also gotten a few friends and family members to go to her and they as well LOVED her. Can not recommend her more. Thank you Paige :)

Paige is my forever piercer! She’s honestly the best piercer you can get. Paige is professional, respectful, kind, clean and very informative. Piercing is truly her passion, she always aims to make everyone in her studio feel informed, comfortable and confident during their appointment. I have gotten three piercings performed by Paige prior to my visit today. I I moved from Oshkosh to Chicago suburbs right before the pandemic and today I drove over 3.5 hrs each way for my triple forward helix piercings. That’s because I know that Paige practices proper sterilization/sanitation techniques, uses good quality jewelry, always makes me feel comfortable, explains the process and has never placed any of my piercings badly.(In the pictures shown, Paige has pierced everything except my 7 lobe piercings and Tragus)

Have had tattoos and peircing from John and Paige on multiple occasions, love the results, environment and artists.

I get all my Tattoos there from Big John, very clean and Professional and super friendly Artists , before and after now 😊🤘🤙

I’ve gotten a couple piercings done by Paige Amber & she does an amazing job. She is very knowledgeable and gives great information and aftercare directions. I’ve had piercings done at other shops but I’ve never had a piercer be so thorough and spend time educating their customers. I recommend her over any other piecer in the Oshkosh area!

I got a piercing at this shop back in September, and my experience was everything I would want for a piercing experience. The jewelry selection was so good. The shop is very clean and the piercer Paige Amber is so professional and sweet. I was pierced by Lynn Loheide, a guest piercer at the time, who was also very professional and sweet. So after I got my piercing, I actually broke my beautiful, expensive piece of jewelry. Boo. But I got in touch with Paige and she took care of it and I got my jewelry back like I had never messed it up to begin with! I drove literally 5 hours to get pierced at this shop, and I could not be happier that I did!

It’s been 12 years since my last tattoo. I really wanted to get a tattoo for my birthday and lucked out getting a last minute appointment. I went into my appointment a nervous wreck. Jon was absolutely AMAZING! He took my design I created and made it a reality. I literally cried happy tears when he was done. He was extremely nice and funny, which made my appointment just “fly.” He was very professional, knowledgeable, fast, and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend him for your tattoos.

Top notch tattoo shop! I got multiple tattoos done by Nick Monty and they were both great experiences. High quality work in a clean shop. His aftercare instructions helped my tattoos heal quick and nice.

I had the pleasure to be pierced by Lynn Loheide at her guest spot here and I am super happy with the service I received. I follow her on Tiktok and when I seen she was going to be at Big Guns in Oshkosh I just had to book with her! I got my VCH pierced and Lynn was so friendly and professional, she made sure to tell me everything she was doing and made sure I was comfortable. Getting a piercing like that can be super nerve wracking but I felt completely safe and at ease. Not once did I feel awkward or uncomfortable. Also, Paige had so many beautiful jewelry options to choose from at the shop. I really liked having more of a variety rather than just a simple barbell, although you could get one of those if you chose to! Overall I am super happy with everything and I love my new piercing! Thank you so much Lynn! :)

It’s been a while since I’ve visited, but I’ve always been happiest with my piercing/tattoo services here. Someone told me a while back to explore other shops and artists… oof- let me just say, no one has done as good of professional work on me as Paige & Nick have. Now living out of state, I still always wanna gravitate towards them for what I need. People in this shop are educated, honest, & amazing at what they do.

Paige is incredibly nice, professional and clean! Everything about her set up reassures you about her abilities! She’s also is very helpful if you need advice outside of business hours! If you need a good piercing, I would DEFINITELY recommend her!

Awesome shop with top notch artists! Have gotten multiple tattoos and piercing here and very happy with all of them!

I had gotten a tattoo from Colts Timeless in Appleton before so I had scheduled to get another one done there, however, the person that had done my previous tattoo had moved on to another shop and I got stuck with this very rude artist who did not make me feel comfortable at all, and treated me horribly, so we left; it was myself and 2 others that were looking to get tattoos that day, 1 of which it was her first tattoo so I called every single tattoo shop that could possibly squeeze the 3 of us in that day but none of them could until I called Big Guns, but he said he only had room for 1 of us, and the most important thing was to get this girl her first tattoo. We got there, Nick who set up the whole thing was there and was super nice, and everyone else was super nice, they stayed past closing to get her tattoo done, then me and the other person set up appointments to get ours done another time, Nick gave me some really great advice for my tattoo, what to get, what not to get, and how to position it, which is what Ive been looking for in an artist, I dont think Id want to go to another shop, these guys are great.

Second time Ive gone to Nick. Have gotten tattoos from Big Jon also. Both are awesome artists. Laid back, talented, you can tell they enjoy what they do. 10/10 would recommend. Perfection

I wont go anywhere else for tattoos. The guys at Big Guns are the best around in the Fox Valley. They run a VERY clean shop. The atmosphere at Big Guns is is relaxing and what I would expect as being laid back. Jon, Nick and Rocket will do an amazing job for new ink, touch ups and do amazing cover up work. And I cant forget miss Paige Amber the piercing professional at Big Guns. Shell treat you right and give you the service youd expect.

Hailey did an amazing job on my tattoo. She was so professional, and it turned out great! I was only in town for a few days and she was able to squeeze me in. I will definitely be going back.

Had a cover up done by Jon Handler. I absolutely love the design!! Couldnt be happier with how it came out 😄Was walked through the after care process without feeling rushed.Safety and cleanliness before, during, and after the tattoo was top notch. No COVID concerns whatsoever.Definitely found my go to guy! Will be back.

Incredibly reputable, clean, and professional!! Highly recommend anyone go here. Jon has done most of my work and every single piece is amazing. His passion and use of color is unbeatable.

Paige was a very sweet girl and talked me through the process of getting my belly button done. After being told I couldnt get it done or it wouldnt work with my anatomy. Paige came up with a solution to make it possible.

Had an awesome experience from start to finish with their piercer Paige I highly recommend her.

I am in love with my beautiful new tattoo from Jon!! Hes an amazing artist and kind person. Gentle with the machine, and gorgeous results. Cant get enough ink here!

Came here with my 2 friends as walk ins an hour before close, Nick and Jon were very nice to us despite us being an inconvenience. All of our tattoos came out just how we wanted & we had a fun time chatting and hanging out. I don’t think I’ll go anywhere else for a tattoo

I highly recommend Nick Monty. He made me feel so at ease! He made me feel comfortable & confident being my first tattoo experience. This place over all was very clean and professional, nothing like your average shop!

First experience getting a tattoo at big guns. Extremely friendly staff! Really worked with me on the design and my tattoo turned out amazing! And on top of that I ended up getting locked out of my vehicle when I was going to leave and they went out of their way to help me with the situation. Would absolutely recommend this place to everyone!

Great group of people who really knows what they are doing. They really want to give you the best that they can ever time. And they are all have so much talent at do tattoos that you really feel like your walking out with your own art work that you get to have for years to come

Do. Not. Go. Here. Both my friend and I have gone here for our tattoos and neither one of us walked our with the tattoo we asked for. My friend asked for a tattoo of a little girl and ended up with a boat instead because the artists are incapable of listening and do not respect their clients wants. If you want a tattoo youll b happy with, go anywhere but here

Came in to get my girlfriend her anniversary present and the guy at the counter looked at her idea and pretty much called her tattoo idea a joke. Also said doing 12 little birds was a little too much detail, pretty much not wanting to earn our business. First time being in a tattoo shop ever wouldn’t recommend to anyone, haven’t even seen the art there but customer service was a flop.

I have been tattooed and pierced at this location many times. I do not live in Oshkosh, but I drive to this shop because all the artists are kind, take the time to listen, and pump out amazing work. Each artist has their own artwork you can choose from if you want to walk in and get tattooed right away, or you have something already in mind. I have been lucky enough to get tattooed by Rocket and Nick. I have also gotten a few piercings fixed by Paige as well as a new philtrum piercing. They all look amazing, and I feel so lucky to have found these artists. I would like others to know that it is worth the drive, worth the money, just see for your self on social media - as their work is incredible. Ill add photos to show the philtrum piercing Paige did (I apologize, I dont have many close pictures), the photo of the heart tattoo is by Rocket, and the rose/hand tattoo was by Nick. Please keep in mind the tattoos are fresh which is why the skin is swollen on the hand, the philtrum piercing is fully healed in the picture. Hope this helps!! :)

2 months ago I went in for a tattoo and the experience was great. The shop is super clean and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The problem is my tattoo is not what I wanted. The artist (I wish I remembered his name, he was very friendly and I think he was wearing glasses) messed up pretty bad and shaded everything way too much. I think he knew he messed up cause he said something about it just looking dark cause of the stencil. There is no fixing this. It will never be what I wanted, my only option at this point is to fill it all in and Im not thrilled about having to go get that done. Im posting 2 pics, the first shows what I wanted, the 2nd shows what I got. Very disappointing...

Great experience everytime. Most of my tattoos have been done by Jon and they always turn out amazing. Can wait to get my next one soon!

I have had multiple tattoos done here at big guns in Oshkosh. I have never had an issue here at all. They are decent on there prices. I dont like going to other shops because of their pricing. But, thats my opinion. The work that is done in big guns tattoo is exactly what I look for, for my tattoos.

Ive been coming to Big Guns for almost four years, and John is the only person I will let work on me. Always great service, and my tattoos always come out looking even BETTER than I pictured in my mind!

Top notch artists, piercings and service. Been a loyal customer of Jons for over 10 years now. Cannot say enough good things about this shop!!!

Paige is super friendly and professional. I already have my next appointment scheduled with her.

Jon did an amazing job on my tattoo. Id recommend him to anyone. Definitely going to be a repeat customer.

Talen was wonderful and super personable and made me feel very comfortable and safe. 10/10

I highly recommend getting your tattoos here. Excellent customer service, great prices and unique tattoos. Best experience Ive had at a tattoo shop!

Paige Amber was so kind and informative about the piercing process. I will definitely be going back.

Nick is a very professional, creative tattoo artist. I highly recommend him if its your first tat or your fifteenth.

Ive been pierced by Paige and tattooed by Nick Monty. Both were awesome experiences. I highly recommend this place.

It was a Friday 13th tattoo, super busy but the artist was still nice and didnt rush the process
