Eric is a great artist very attentive, I have yet to see a tattoo he can not do or a piercing I that has any issues. I saw the review right before mine and I was apart of the group of girls in the back room we were not workers everyone was having work done. This shop is very, very clean and is the best one I have been to yet, I will be back to get a continuation of a tattoo that has been done. I actually seen how easy some of the piercings were last night and may just get one of those while I’m there as well. Eric even made sure to clean the sights multiple times and explain in detail on how to take care of the new art, and to give his number if we had any questions!
My sister did some research and chose this place. So glad she did. We walked in and were greeted immediately. There was three of us, and youre immediately assigned an artist. My sister and son had Darrion, and I had Adam. There was another guy in the front who helped with paperwork, he was also nice. We all have brought in a tattoo that we made, and all three of us left there happy. I will definitely be back even though I dont live in St Peters anymore, but planning to come back in the summer and get more tattoos with Adam. If you are looking for a shop that is professional, laid back and a nice environment before you feel comfortable, this is definitely it.
Me and my friend went in for a walk-in appointment on a Saturday and had Nick do our small tattoos - they were perfect! He has a skilled hand and made my friend’s first tattoo experience great. We will definitely be coming back for some more detailed work!
Amazing first tattoo experience!! Walked in the night prior and got an appointment set for first thing in the morning the next day. Chris Land did a beautiful job on my tattoo and I couldn’t be more happy. Will definitely be back and I highly recommend Chris!
I got a spur of the moment walk in tattoo. My artist nick was absolutely amazing. He made me feel comfortable and provided lots of laughs. I will definitely be going back to him and this place :)
Came to Mike Spencer for a cover up idea and he made it come to life. You cannot even see the old tatoo. He was fast efficient and listened to exactly what I wanted. We liked the place so much my wide came back 2 days later and got herself one. All the artist are unique and have different styles so your sure to find your perfect fit.
Awesome Experience! Clean workshop, friendly staff. Came in on a busy day and everyone was nice and organized. West was my artist and he did a fantastic job, will definitely come back here again, hopefully soon!
Nick did my Friday the 13th tattoo and he absolutely killed it! He took his time and it turned out amazing. My favorite tattoo and favorite experience! The shop was so clean and such a positive space!
Had three sessions with Mike S. to finish a sleeve. Shop had a cool vibe, very clean and all artists were chill and easy to talk to. Mike started each session working with me to design and took the random ideas I had and created a masterpiece on my arm. Super stoked with results and very highly recommend. Best shop I’ve been to and only one I’d send folks to.
Not new to getting tattoos but came here on a random idea to do Friday the 13th flash…thanks Chris for being great and providing me with the beginning of my Tim Burton arm.
The environment was absolutely incredible. i spent about an hour in there with my best friend while she got a tattoo and even the wait was fun just by how comforting the place is. 10/10 recommend. the art was also amazing. will be coming back for a tattoo myself soon!!!
Got a 3” wall-e and dude tried to charge me $300 for it, still had to pay $200 absolutely absurd, then charged my wife $200 for a 3” Eva all without colors just black and white and he tried to get us for $600 total dudes insane, I asked for price before and he kinda dodged the question I get why now be open with your customers or you’ll lose them for good, thought this was gonna be my new place to go. Not now by far way too much for what you get, talked to other people who are covered in tattoos and they said $100 max for this and I agree, was tempted to walk out for the absurd pricing. Absolutely disappointed in this place.
I greatly appreciated the time Mike Snarzyk took to understand what I wanted and the design options before getting started. He knocked this first part of my sleeve out of the park, it really pops!I was also impressed by the friendly staff and very clean studio.
Mike Snarzyk did an amazing job on a memorial coverup tattoo for me. In these photos, the line-art tattoo was from a different artist, out-of-state. Mike’s is the realistic portrait.He’s super chill, focused, and makes sure you get exactly what you want. A+ art, A+ communication, A+ environment. He even has a big tv mounted high on the wall so when you’re laid back getting tattooed, you can watch anything you want. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for very high quality work and fair pricing.10/105 starsA+Thank you Mike for give me this beautiful piece of art.
Went in on a whim while looking for a studio open on Sundays, and have found my forever tattoo home! The artists were all so nice and friendly! The shop is clean and has a very relaxing feel. Angel knocked it out of the park with our tattoos!! Will definitely be back!
Mike from Iowa did a great job with my sleeve. Knocked it out in one day. Great detail work and moved fast. If you can make it through a straight seven hours, he can probably get you done in one session. Already planning another work, and my wife will be setting up an appointment soon. Shop is clean and was a great setting. They have a lot of different artists, and the place is one of the busiest tattoo shops Ive ever seen.

I went to Mike with a couple of my best friends to get matching tattoos. It was such a great experience and I was so amazed by all of his work so I ended up taking my son for his first tattoo. It was a memorial tattoo for my dad and he did absolutely amazing! I love how he makes you feel so comfortable and isn’t in it just for the money. He really cares about his work and takes his time making pieces that are original. We will definitely be going back!!
Went in with a group of girlfriends to get matching tattoos. We worked with Nick and he did an amazing job at creating us the cutest tattoos! It was my first tattoo and he was so kind, walked me through the process and made me feel super comfortable! Would highly recommend.
The best Friday the 13th flash sale in the greater stl area! Designs were great and same with the artists.
Great experience! and great looking work. will definitely be back!
Got my first tattoo by Kevin Head. Kevin did a super job taking some handwriting and getting it cleaned up to make a great tattoo.After my first tattoo, I got to work with Mike Snarzky, he is an incredible artist!! Mike spent time going over the vision I had and created an incredible underwater scene for me on my calf! Mike’s incredible talent has produced a work of art on my leg. So many people have commented on how great it looks! With this being my first BIG tattoo, Mike and his staff have taken care of all my questions and concerns!
Can i give more then 5 stars? cause if so i am! Mike went above and beyond with the cover up. absolutely stunting. can’t believe that it looks like it was never there in the first place! i was left speechless with how amazing mikes work is and Mike himself! what an incredible genuine person who has a true passion for his work. please do yourself a favor and go get booked with this man! Thanks Mike!
Single handedly rude my 1st night out in 3 years ...I called asked if they had time to do a small tattoo but I lived 40 mins away. They said come up we got you. Got there and everyone basically pretended no one walked in at all. One man asked if I was with a different group, I said no and he walked away. Not only did they waste my time, they were also rude af. Never mind the backroom of girls. Definitely wouldnt recommend
Nick did my boyfriends tattoo and it turned out amazing! He was so kind and super funny. We appreciate how kind everyone was at the shop!
The shop is super clean, and comfortable! Everyone is super friendly, and makes you feel welcome. 11/10 definitely recommend. I’ve had art done by a few artist, but after visiting here I’ll be sticking with Mike for now on. His work is so amazing! He can bring anything to life! 👏🏼👏🏼
I had two tattoos done on the same day from Hailey Alara. She did an amazing job on them and is the only person I will ever use to do my tattoos sinces she did those two. The color combo on my butterfly tattoo turned out beautiful. Favorite tattoos I have.
Phenomenal work on my calf from alex, atmosphere was amazing! I’d give them more then 5 stars if I could
Very clean and friendly place ! Highly recommend to anyone that ask where to go for a tattoo, This is the place !! Hands Down ! Took my daughter for a tattoo, she sat like a champ for 5 hours , awesome work!!
I was incredibly nervous. It isnt my typical environment and I felt out of place walking in. I was worried about getting a tattoo and not liking it. The artists were amazing, they explained the whole process and made me feel comfortable. They were really patient and helped me find the best placement for the tattoo that I wanted.
I got my first tattoo here, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Darion was my tattoo artist, and he was very welcoming. Everyone was also super friendly! I would definitely recommend 😁🫡
Hailey did my daughters first tattoo and it came out fantastic. I decided to have Hailey be the artist for my newest tattoo and it is on day 3 of healing and I love my tattoo! Hailey really does a fantastic job.
PLEASE READ ! This shop is awesome. They got me in so quickly after a mix up on their website. Michael Spencer is no longer there DO NOT book with him and pay the deposit! They apologized for the confusion and took very good care of me. Chris did a perfect job on my tattoo! Thanks guys!!
Out of all my experiences of getting tattoos, Machine in Ink is by far the best experience Ive had getting inked. Everybody was super friendly and experienced. Chris Land did a great job on both and Im ready for my next session. Would highly recommend coming in, whether its your first time or 100th time. Would definitely give more stars if it was possible. Dont wait and book your session today!
My partner and I came here while on vacation as a walk-in. Super welcoming environment, they got us in as soon as they could, and they were very mindful of our timing as we had to drive 9 hours home afterward. The styling/drawing of the tattoos were an easy process, Darion did an amazing job, hes very easy to work with and easy to chat with. We are very happy with our tattoos and our experience, if were ever back in state we will come here again!!
Mike has done two pieces for me now a memorial piece for my mom and matching best friends tats. one for my daughter and one for my son. I will never go to anyone else. Mike really loves what does, takes his time in making each pieces his own. I get so many compliments on each one he has done. I can’t wait to get my next one from him. We will definitely be going back!!
Friendly, clean shop that puts clients needs first! I sent Mike two pics of what I wanted. No consult visit needed, which was a huge plus for me since I am a busy mom of 2. He put together what I wanted and I was there for a total of 6 hours, 4.5 being on the needle. Mike is fast and very efficient. Highly recommend!!
I had a tattoo done by Hailey Alara and am so happy with the design she came up. Absolutely loved hanging out with her during the process and can’t wait to get more pieces done by her ♥️
Best work l have ever seen. My step daughter has 3 from your shop. It is nice that a parent can sign for a 16 year old to get one done. I would love to get one but this contest is the only way I will be able to. I recently became disabled and can no longer work so fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞🤞.#MachineinInk best tattoo shop in St Charles County
Mike is hands down the best around! Always takes the time to listen to my ideas, walk me through the whole design process, and turn every single piece into something that far exceeds my expectations. His attention to detail is incredible and he still works very quickly. I cant even tell you the amount of hours Ive spent in his chair and can never wait to go back!
Adam was awesome! He listened carefully to my idea and made some great suggestions. Excellent work, amazing! Will definitely visit again
Just got a Friday the 13th tattoo by Kevin. Super quick for such a good deal and the work looks great! He deserves a steak dinner!
I’ve had two of my pieces done here since moving to Missouri and I’ll never go to another shop ! The work of all the artist is absolutely amazing, cover ups are priceless and the best I’ve ever seen. Amazing shop, amazing artist, an all around great atmosphere to get a tattoos in! Definitely one of the best shops around
Brittany was my artist and she was fantastic Definitely does well keeping their clients calm and still doing great work!!!!
Had original tattoo and touch up done by Kevin. Service was amazing, he made sure to cater to exactly what I wanted with the original design and also touch ups. Very professional and clean environment. Will definitely be coming back for future tattoos!
If you are looking for a great Tattoo artist, you need to check out Mike Snarzyk and his crew! Our whole family has been to him and he never disappoints! He did a portrait of my mother ( who passed) on my daughter and nailed it 100%. My mommas eyes come through so good, every detail was perfect!#Machine in Ink Tattoo Studios
Reuben set up my appointment and was so kind and caring toward the reasons I was getting a tattoo covered, I really appreciated the compassion and support he showed me through out the process. Darion did an amazing job on my chest cover up and it is absolutely beautiful, exactly what I wanted! Not only did he totally rock the piece but he also shared words of wisdom and good conversation for the few hours I was in the shop. I felt nothing but support & kindness while I was in and I will definitely be coming back again soon & forsure booking w Darion. Thank you guys for the hospitality!! Amazing customer service and employees over all.
Great experience! Came in on Friday the 13th and got a few things done. Chris did great and Ill definitely be back!
Mike is an amazing artist one of the best there is. He is the first person to ever tattoo me and the only person I’ll let tattoo me. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. I went over my tattoo idea with Mike and he blew it away. He really has the best work I have seen. I couldn’t have asked for a better tribute to my grandpa and look forward to getting more tattoos from him in the future. Just got my 2nd tattoo with mike for my other grandpa and its badass. He doesnt have a single bad tattoo
Mike Snarzyk is amazing and I refuse to go to anyone else! Love my Iron man and Captain America! He also touched up a few from other tattoo artist or if they should even call themselves that. They look soo much better. Definitely trust Mike with all my tattoo needs!He takes very good care of his clients!!!
Chris was absolutely amazing and a great artist. He is such a talented artist and made me feel comfortable. I’m from Arizona and will come back here to see him when I come back to see him when I come back
Had a great experience I went in to get a cover up. Turned out better then I thought it would. Friendly and helpful service, Darion took his time to make sure it was just what I wanted .
Walked in and got tattoo from Mike Spencer im very happy! it was good work and incredible service .Ruben was great to appreciate ya guys ..I will be back for more and telling everyone !
Been here 4 time I’ve had Mike and Darion and they are both great artist and have done great on all my tattoos. The customer service here is amazing and they treat you like family when you come in.
Mike Snarzyk took over my tat halfway through after struggling to get in with another artist. The outline was there and he took it and made it more his style. I’m a fan of grey realism even though baseball flowers aren’t a real thing. This was also a cover up of a 25 year old tattoo that had been lightened 3 sessions. Kinda wish the flames would’ve been more defined, but that was the first guy. Overall, I’m happy with how it turned out in the end. Thanks so much
I have had three tats done by Mike now and I’m absolutely obsessed! You can’t deny his talent and ability to make a tattoo pop and be completely unique! I get compliments on my tattoos constantly and look forward to each session. His work is one of a kind. Some of my friends have started to go to Mike now because of the work they’ve seen him do not only on me, but so many other people through his page. I would highly recommend Mikes work to anybody!
I’ve been following Hailey Alara’s unique and beautiful glitter work and searching for the perfect tattoo combining something I love with her talent. Hailey did not disappoint and I now have a beautifully unique glitter Blue Note! She was meticulous in capturing the detail and the atmosphere was so friendly and inviting, I am already looking forward to my next visit!
Mike is top notch! Very professional, super chill and extremely artistically inclined! I brought him my ideas for a memorial sleeve and he brought them to life and made a real piece of artwork out of it! I couldn’t be happier. If you need any work done, I would HIGHLY recommend going to see Mike. I won’t be going anywhere else! Thanks again man! Keep up the good work!!
Came in for the Friday the 13th flash sale. Had a great experience with Chris. Very welcoming and comfortable environment
I’ve been tattooed by Mike, Adam, brittany and Wes. They have all done phenomenal work. I 100% recommend this place if you want good work for a good price!
So I finally went and covered my old tattoo with something much more meaningful. The lighthouse represents hope, strength, and guidance - all things that I strive for as a dad. The lighthouse is modeled after the Yaquina Bay lighthouse in Oregon. Each of the kids is represented by a ray of light from the lighthouse. We’ve weathered some storms but we are still standing strong.Mike did an amazing job of helping to bring this all together in an exactly what I wanted. The service, atmosphere, looking out for the customer, and skill exceeded everything I hoped for. Thank you for making this the best possible experience. I can’t wait to come back for my next one.
We came in for the Friday the 13th flash sale. Kevin was great and we love our sunshine tattoos!
Hailey was great! Made my cousin comfortable for her first tattoo. Shop was busy but everyone was inviting. Cannot say more good things about Hailey. If you’re a gal in need of a tattoo definitely ask for Hailey!! I have gotten other tattoos but Hailey made me feel very comfortable!
Chris was amazing. He did an amazing memorial tattoo for my daughter and was so kind, patient and attentive. It was her first tattoo and it was an amazing experience. Thank you, Chris!
They’re so helpful come to them I needed a Re-wrapping they did it with out any hesitation the tatto literally is amazing I completely recommend them to anyone
Mike has done all 3 of my tattoos and he always does amazing. he does very detailed and skilled work. I get so many compliments on the work of my tattoos. he also does not fail to make you laugh when you’re nervous
Very straight forward and fast! Got twos flash tattoos on Friday the 13th, they turned out great
My artist was Mike and he was very professional. He never made me feel uncomfortable, he was cracking jokes and made conversation with me while I was being tattooed. Everyone there was very friendly and it was a chill and fun environment. I am definitely coming back for all of my tattoos, I highly recommend.
Got an amazing piece done by Mike. His attention to detail both in design and application clearly shows. He takes pride in his work and is super easy to work with. Highly recommend!
I told Hailey Alara my idea and I’m absolutely in love with the final result!! We talked through the whole tattoo like we had known each other for a long time even though it was the first time we met. I definitely recommend her & will getting more tattoos from her.
I was very happy with my experience today with chris! it was my first time getting a tattoo and i will definitely be coming back for more
Darion did a fantastic job on my daughter tattoo and my tattoo. Great line work slide of hand and fantastic conversation. Would highly recommend going here again.
Very clean and professional. got a cover up done by Wes. very patient with me. everyone there was really friendly, another artist was nice enough to let me use his numbing spray. i highly recommend this place.
Love this place! Exellent customer services, and amazing artists! If you are looking for a fine line tattoo artist, Kevin is simply the best!
Kevin was so sweet and friendly! THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME and doing GREAT WORK ON MY TATTOO!!!
Everyone is so nice and friendly. Darion is such a good artist! I’ve gotten 2 tattoos by him so far, and I will definitely be going back to see him soon!
Hailey Alara is the best she rocked out my Unni Bunni tattoo perfectly. I recommend this shop to anyone . It’s super clean fun environment awesome people that work there the vibe is outstanding. Go see them first your tattoo needs!! Hailey nails the glitter amazing check her out!!
Turned my past mistake into a masterpiece! Other tattoo shops said my tattoo couldn’t be covered up. This shop was able to cover it with amazing detail. Highly recommend all tattoo enthusiast that need a cover up or a new piece to check this place out!
ALL I CAN SAY IS WOOOOOOWW!!Mike is INSANELY GOOD!!This tattoo shop has great energy friendly people all around and Mike literally will go to the ends of the earth to give you a tattoo like nothing else. He is detail oriented, takes his time and I think it shows by these photos!! Just watching him at work was a sight to be seen!
Haven’t been to the shop yet but have great experience with mike he’s done almost all my tattoos and he does amazing work
Super cool environment. Along with good people who do amazing work. Mike did amazing on my cover up. With close attention to detail. I high recommend him for anybody looking for realism. Very affordable
This group of artists is some of the best!!! Always so nice, willing to do whatever it takes! Clean and fun shop!!! I definitely recommend everyone I know to go see these folks!!!! Definitely recommend Brittany and TeeJay!!!!!
Hailey, aka Glitter Tattoo Babe STL did an amazing job! I am so impressed with her work and cannot wait for the next one. If youre looking for a talented artist, definitely check out her FB or instagram page. I guarantee you wont be disappointed. Tell her Teresa sent you!And btw this is her original design. ❤️ and omg it glitters and glows in the dark!!!!
This shop is seriously family! One night after work, I was looking for a new shop and stumbled across this one. It was right before closing time, and had no intention of getting tattooed that night, but walked in and sat down to wait to speak to an artist. There was a family waiting to be tattooed already, and I decided to stick around and wait it out. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. In the early morning hours, the family is done being tattooed, and the owner Mike comes to me and was so shocked I had waited that long just to go over ideas for my wedding date cover up (going through divorce). He was patient, listened to me, and immediately went to work drawing something up. He then insisted he would personally tattoo me for the wait, and so my cover up was completed right then and there. I ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. The line work, the detail, the shading, the love that went into it is ON POINT. It also incorporated an older tattoo which he touched up just because! Afterwards, I returned and was immediately recognized and greeted, asked about how my cover up healed and was treated like one of their own. His female artist tattooed me my recently, also on a complete whim, but was something OUTSIDE her comfort zone, also at closing time, and she SLAYED it! Prior to her starting though we sat and conversed for almost an hour, like wed be friends for years! The atmosphere in this shop in incredible and I will NEVER go anywhere else again. If I could give more that 5 stars I would. Mike and his team go above and beyond, have a clean environment, strong family-oriented vibe, diverse tattooing team, and continue to build and grow on a daily basis. If you had any doubt, I hope you dont now. Go see them for your tattoo needs today!
Mike does amazing work! Super detailed and designs are awesome. Way better than the original design that I came in with. Definitely will be scheduling my future sessions with him. Thank you!
Chris was cool and quick with it! Very happy with our experience! Tattoos were clean.
I highly suggest going to see Hailey Alara! She has done three different tattoos for me and all three have came out looking so good! The amount of compliments that I get from the tattoos she has done is insane! If you’re looking to get any watercolor, marble, or glitter tattoos done, she’s your girl!
Nick is awesome, got my first tattoo here and it was a great experience!
Got one of my first big pieces done here and honestly it was the best experience, mike was very professional, hand drew most of the tattoo. mike made sure i was comfortable & took breaks when needed, i can’t wait to go back and have him finish it up!10/13/2023- went up for friday the 13th and got a flash tattoo done by angel, rlly nice and helped me be confident in placement.5/07/2024- angel has always been an amazing artist to go to with ideas, she helps figure out placement , and pricing. she’s helped me and my mom get so many beautiful pieces for a wonderful price’
Went in for a cover up & it turned out absolutely amazing! will forever come back to this place. MIKE SPECIFICALLY. i have my 2nd appointment scheduled & couldn’t be more happier!
Been to a lot of tattoo shops and this one is probably the best Ive been to. Adam was great and clearly took a lot of care in his work. He was able to immediately draw something up and get it ready. He took care to get every detail right and it shows. Color packed in, line detail on point.
Got my tattoos on Friday, Mike did s fantastic job. Would highly recommend him if you are wanting something done!
Just got a tattoo done by Mike j/MJ super cool dude and the piece is even better than I imagined. So happy I came here and will be coming back for more tattoos soon. These photos dont do his clean lines justice. And the little dots are so perfect. Shading is incredible and the leaves. He listened to every detail I did want and added his own details and it is just perfect.
Great shop & great people. I’m from Oklahoma & came to STL to visit for the weekend. Great decision. They really listen to want the customer wants. Adam was amazing!
Great service very friendly and professional Chris did a great job and detail was great 👍👍 will definitely recommend
Was able to get the tattoo I wanted to memorialize my mom and at a great price. The artist was very patient with my request and was a lot of fun to banter back and forth with. Highly recommend.
I have gotten all my tattoos from Mike Snarsyk. The owner of this shop. He does great work and I’m always happy with the experience. I won’t go anywhere else. Five stars for sure.
TeeJay was totally gentle an precise! The work is definitely quality! An I love the walk in is welcome! Will definitely be back later this week!!
I just discovered this shop literally 2 days ago today. So far the artist have been nothing but patient and positive! Im currently doing a little floral project on my left leg where Im having a bunch of different artist tattoo floral designs of their choosing.. The artist I got yesterday (03/02/2024) was so understanding of my project and worked with me to make sure I like it due to it being on my body for life. During the whole thing he kept making sure I was comfortable! Today (03/03/2024) I got my nose pierced The gentleman was quick and efficient He also gave me some good cleanser recommendations. Overall Im so Happy with the Service here, The whole staff is very positive and the vibes are super awesome!! Highly Highly Recommend!!
Came from New York stopped by for a tat could not be happier !!! friendly clean and Chris was amazing !!! Did great job thank you !!!
Absolutely hands down best tattoo Ive ever received, very good atmosphere, very chill. Good people and if I had to say one of the best tattoo artists around in my opinion, Mike. Great work, light handed, knew I was walking into great hands and was more than happy with the finished work after the design was drawn and tattoo was finished. Very talented and will always recommend anyone to him or his shop. Cant wait until the next tattoo I receive from Mike and cant wait until he can finish the sleeve Ive always wanted. Way more than a 5 star rating for me, sucks 5 is all you can do. Keep up the great work man
I’ve gotten a few tattoos from Hailey Alara and absolutely love them! She is super professional and very talented at what she does. Highly recommend!!
My amazing artist was Hailey Alara! I was so happy to let her bring her design to life. It is one of my absolute favorite pieces so far!
Darion did my tattoo and he was so nice and got everything done so quickly. He was talkative and made sure I was cool with everything before he did it. 10/10 would come again and will!
Mike is INCREDIBLE! I saw some work he had done on someone else, and I knew he was the one I had to have as my artist! My 1st tattoo and it was a 1/4 sleeve! I let Mike have his own creative freedom for my project as long as he could incorporate the few items I wanted. It was a memorial piece for my beautiful Native American Mother, and my infant we had lost to stillbirth. He captured MORE of what my heart wanted then I could ever imagine. This is more then just a tattoo for me, it’s a memory, it’s a reminder of 2 people I loved so completely and they are with me everyday in such a perfect, beautiful way right on my body. I could never be grateful enough for the artistic ability he has provided me. It’s a piece that gets complimented daily, and that brings me so much joy because then I get to speak about these 2 dear people that mean so much, it keeps their memory alive. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mike Snarzyk.1sr session black and white, 2nd session we added pops of highlighted colors.
Mike and Ruben were awesome to deal with even grab me something to eat from next door while I was getting work done. Everyone in the shop is super easy to talk to and is a great environment to go get a tattoo on. Work is top notch every time I go no worries at all that Im going to leave happy with what was done!!
Great atmosphere and angel did a great job on my fingers and she was fast I would definitely recommend and come back again
Excellent place to get tattoos very clean and friendly I wont go anywhere else they do amazing work went in for a sleeve and talked to the owner about my ideas and he did 100 % great work highly recommend this shop for anyone wanting tattoos
Hailey took me and my friend in a walk in and did an amazing job. She was super careful on placement, and was very informative on after care.
Love this shop! Friendly service, treats you like family, and doesnt try to pressure you into something you dont want. Also has great prices!
A friend referred me and I am so grateful. Super nice & recently expanded shop. TOP NOTCH Artists!! Very happy with the results and I will be back. The addiction is real. =-)
Mike did my son’s memorial tattoo and I had an amazing experience. He really took his time and made sure it was exactly what I wanted, I will definitely be coming back for more!
I’m absolutely in love with my quarter sleeve! The shop is clean and welcoming. Mike took good care of me, made sure I was comfortable and knew exactly how to help me around hour 6 when I got light headed. All around great experience and amazing work!
Alex did an awesome job. I was really nervous and she made me feel relaxed.
I was a walk in. Got mine done by artist Adam. He was super patient and honest about size, location of my tattoo. I have two more to get and I’ll be going back to him.
Went here as a walk-in with 2 relatives. They got us right in and no wait. They were great and the tattoos were EXCELLENT! Everything was clean and professional. I highly recommend them! Adam and Darrion were amazing and really friendly. I’ll be back when I’m ready for my next body art.
Mike is such a talented artist and does a great job filling the shop with other great artists! The shop is very sanitary and has a great vibe. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Awesome work! Amazing worker and would definitely recommend!
Great location. Awesome atmosphere. Mike is a superb artist, and very informative on tattoos. His tattoo skills are great, all the little details he never missed. Mike and the rest of the staff are very delightful. Havent gotten a tattoo from there, but definitely will.
West did my voodoo doll. Great artist and even awesome shop and employees. Very well money spent
Mike, does amazing work. You definitely get what you pay for. I learned the hard way and I could of saved money by just coming to him first.
Highly recommend Mike! His work is incredible. I still get complements on my arm years later. Can’t wait to book my next piece!
Mike killed my throat piece and is doing an amazing job on my husband’s sleeve! After trying many different shops/artists, this is definitely our go to shop for all of our work! Highly impressed, and definitely recommend going to this shop! :)
If you are looking for someone who is above beyond and truly a Marvel hero, has excellent skills and does amazing work. With a guarantee that you will be coming back, Mike is the one to go to. His work is phenomenal in his dedication to his customers is the best customer service. Ive seen ever make sure you call the shop and talk to his assistant to get a booking with him. I put my life on it ,you will not be disappointed.
Ruben got me in quick fromJust a message on FB BUT Darrion did his MFING thing!!! He covered up this ugly black tattoo i had and he put stitch on both of my hands which is very sentimental to me bc me and my daughter stitch is our thing. I appreciate you so much!!!! Will be back for more tattoos in the future!!!! Highly recommend this place !!!!
Greeted, and helped immediately. So professional, and friendly. Very happy with the service, and new tattoo! Will be back!
Always an amazing experience with Mike. I can bring in multiple ideas from multiple pictures and he can piece them together to give me an amazing piece. Can’t wait for my next appointment!!!
12/10 recommend getting your ink done here. The shop is clean, the music and vibes are great, and the artists are super friendly.Mike was my artist and he brought my piece to life! I’m so impressed and I will definitely be coming back for more work.
Best shop around super clean. Super talented and nobody cares more about your skin than these dudes. Wouldn’t go anywhere’s else !
This shop is incredible! Mike and his team go above and beyond! Location is convenient, place is super clean, always working on bettering themselves and their abilities! Have gotten 2 so far and refuse to go anywhere else, this is home for me! Most understanding, trustworthy, gentle artists. Mikes love for his employees is A1 but is also an incredible family man that shows in not only his shop atmosphere but in his work, especially in family oriented tattoos. All around experience. If you havent gone, or are unsure- go and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed!
I got an amazing leg piece done by Mike that I absolutely love. I’ve been to several other tattoo artists before him and I can genuinely say he is the best. He was professional and took the time to listen to what I wanted to make sure my art was exactly what I envisioned then exceeded that. I highly recommend him and his shop!
Mike is the tattoo artist you hope to get. A friend of mine recommended him so I watched him for 6+ months and loved his work. When I made my appointment he was very chill, took every idea I had and worked his magic. Im going back because I want more from him. Plus his set up is awesome.
I have gotten two tattoos here now. One from Mike and the other from Darion. I love the work theyve done. The tattoos are amazing quality an I had a great time with each artist designing the tattoos. Everyone at the shop are awesome people an have great senses of humor as well. Felt like I was hanging with a bunch of friends while getting amazing tattoos. I will definitely be back soon. Thanks again guys for the great work an amazing environment yall craft.
Such a great environment very comfortable and they know how to make you laugh and have a good time. Also such great work by all artist!! I’ll definitely be back again
I brought my daughter to get her first tattoo. He did a great job. I think his name was Mike.
Adam was my tattoo artist. was my first time getting a tattoo was very patient and kind. highly recommend. even stayed open and hour and a half later just to get mine and my group of friends finished. -Gracie.
Continuation of ink being done by Hailey Alara. Great service, Variety of options from regular ink, ultra violet, glitter or water color. Dont miss an opportunity to book your appointment.
His apprentice tattooed me awhile back. Did a great job. It’s nice to see someone giving people new to the craft and decent shot at a bright career. Mike himself has made such a name for himself in such a short time that he’s become a straight up powerhouse. Wether it’s portraits, straight black or brand new concepts you came up with off of the top of your head he’s going to absolutely dominate the tattoo and satisfy the customer 100% of the time. Keep up the great work.
Mike Snarzyk did an amazing job on my coverup! You can’t even tell the previous tattoo was there. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!
Had an 11 am appointment got there a few minutes early artist has not arrived yet, 40 minutes rolls by artist had not shown up and never heard from them. Reception just kept saying their on the way. I left. Not great.
Mike did a great job on my tattoo. I was impressed with his creativity when he designed my Mother Nature tattoo. I would recommend mike to anyone I know that wants a quality, one of a kind tattoo. I know I will be back soon for another tattoo. The shop is clean and the staff is very professional.
I first heard of Mike based off the kindness of him. He saved one of my very good friends ashes from being tossed into the trash and kept him at his shop until they could be safely returned to his loved ones! Thats when I found out he did ink work and I seen some of his art and decided that after a few year my wife and I wanted matching tattoos in different colors. He did the work better than we had even expected and it was fairly priced as well for ALL the detail that went into it. I refer all my friends I talk to that want new ink to check him out. There are 4 things you are guaranteed when working with Mike. Honesty, integrity, kindness and quality. I will most definitely return for my next project when ever I get the chance and hope that this review will shed some light on the type of person mike is and that it helps you pick the best artist possible. Thanks again Mike for youre kindness and quality of work!
James did an amazing job on my tattoo! Best birthday gift I could have asked for. His line work alone is breathtaking. Don’t waste your time at any other shop!!
Mike gave me my first tattoo ever and he’s the most easy going man I ever met! Of course I was nervous but knowing you have someone as talented as him, it helps knowing you’re going to be taken well good care of! You will never be disappointed here!
Chris is amazing! I will definitely be coming back to you.
Mike Snarzyk does amazing work!! He did a couple half sleeves on my husband and one on me and theyre wicked awesome! During my session at his previous location there was a car accident, without hesitation, he helped secure the driver and daughter to safety from their car that caught fire! Truly great artist and person overall!! 🙌
Vibe is super chill and the artists do amazing work. Will continue to get tattooed here by any of the artists. The owner Mike is a phenomenal artist, as well as everyone in the shop. I would trust any of them to tattoo me no problem. If you arent sure where to go, this is the place.
I went in for Friday the 13th and was very happy with my experience. They had a nice spread of designs to choose from in different styles and had a very efficient set up without rushing the tattoo artists. It had an overall great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this shop!
UPDATE so I got my tattooband it is unbelievable not only we discussed necessary changes to make sure it looked the best it was explained why one way is better than the other and glad I listened. Ill be setting a touch up, soon. And then discussing the rest of my arm. My friends are amazed at the detail and are planning on contacting Mike.Its nice to have a place that actually answers you. Mike has been patient with me as we figure out my sleeve. Im scatter brained and he is calm and works with you. I cant wait to see the finished product.
Had a great experience at Machine in Ink! The artists were there were very chill and welcoming. I went for their Friday the 13th event and was very happy with my tattoos. They had some really cool designs and would definitely go back again!
The best place i’ve been for a tattoo everyone was so nice and patient and my tattoo turned out great thanks to Adam !
Got my first tattoo here, super good atmosphere and great people that explain everything.
I finally did it! I got my first tattoo and Im not going to lie I was nervous but Mike Snarzyk was incredible. He made me very comfortable and did the most amazing job in bringing what I feel is the most detailed and badass tattoo I have ever seen. I couldnt be happier with the whole experience. I will definitely recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
Really quick and easy experience. My tattoo looks really good and I’m really happy with it.
I got my first bigger piece done by Hailey Alara today, and the vibes at this shop were by far the best compared to other shops I’ve been to. My artist listened to my ideas and was willing to work with me to get the best results. She also made sure I was comfortable the whole time which also hasn’t been my experience at other shops in stl.
Haley is amazing! She did a wonderful job on mine and my husband’s tattoos. Very professional and kind! Will definitely have her do my future work.
Memorial tattoo for my daughter people treat you like family good quality. Folks make you feel comfortable
Mike has done 2 of my tattoos so far and he did an amazing job! I get so many compliments on his work. You don’t be disappointed by going to his shop for some new ink! Quality work & great people!
Machine ink is amazing, I have tattoos done from Mike, Angel, and Darion I will not go anywhere else, great work, great prices. I will be back...Rueben is awesome... Great communication
One sign of a great tattoo artist is his schedule Is always booked and that a good thing when dealing with a artist. For getting a tattoo he has a light hand they all hurt but he doesnt grind into you too bad. He pays attention to detail and has great ideas when making a tattoo up from scratch. Ive sent multiple people his way and they have never been disappointed id suggest everyone to give a shot you wont be disappointed
Mike is an amazing artist! He Excels in all genres of tattoos I wouldnt go anywhere else if youre looking for someone to do realism tattoos, traditional black and grey whatever this is your guy! Highly recommend!

Mike is the absolute best!! This is my favorite tattoo i have and i still can’t believe how good it looks months later! He was super easy to talk to, worked around my budget, sizing, everything. 1000/10 would recommend to anyone wanting something very detailed
Adam was great! My tattoo came out perfect. He was quick and professional, I will absolutely be back.
Darion did my tattoo and he was nice and got everything done so quickly. I will definitely come back again. Super cool environment. Along with good people who do amazing work.
Adam did a wonderful job with exactly what I wanted. He has a great personality, takes his time. Very happy. The vibe at this place is really nice too. Highly recommend.

I can’t wait to see the end result of my lion family sleeve😊very pleased with all my work and stuff he has done for my friends and family he deserves 20 stars ⭐️
My buddy went to Mike for a tattoo. It is absolutely amazing! He can do any tattoo someone else can, but 💯 times better. You will not be disappointed. I cant wait for the day I get to experience his artwork. My Facebook name is Melissa Rhea. I always share his work.
Did a great job, walked me through the process, very patient!
My boyfriend and I walked in around 9pm with a warm welcome from the owner and the other artist. One artist was working on someone and finishing her up. It was a at home fun atmosphere. They are amazing at working with you and the pricing is amazing. My boyfriend and I both got tattoos and are both extremely happy with the service and the art work. Thank you so much.
Darion was great! The guys in there were friendly & we were happy with our tattoos. We called and came in for a walk-in & they saw us right away.
Mike is phenomenal. He is talented and I cannot wait to go back for more tattoos. I get compliments all the time on my piece and I highly recommend him every time.
Walked asked what I wanted and I got it even better great place great investment all around great place to get a tattoo around here
Had Darion do my piece on a walk in and I can say best artist ever! Great attention to detail eve try one was super nice and welcoming i definitely will be going again!
This shop puts out some amazing work. Had the pleasure of getting inked by not one but two of the artist here and love both my pieces!! Mike the owner is an amazingly talented artist all the way around, definitely recommend, get yourself on the books!!
I have not personally had Mike do a Tattoo yet, but I am in the planning stages with him. Everything I have seen and heard has been nothing but positive. I am looking forward to having him do my tattoo. I have an appointment in the 25th and I am so excited to see how it turns out!!
Mike did my 6th and 7th tattoos and I will not go anywhere else for my next ones. Hes absolutely amazing. My favorite tattoo is my dog paw print tattoo that was done exactly a year after my childhood dog had passed. It was an amazing memorial for her and I cant thank him enough. Easily the best artist around.
Mikes not only a great artist but is a inspiration for others . I truly believe that he is one of the best in the mid west. Truly talented and humble . Thanks for the head turning work that you have done for me.
True ART-ist work here! If youre going to put something on your body for your entire life, and dont want to look at it with disappointment then THIS IS THE PLACE for you!!
The photos of his work so look crazy good. Definitely worth looking into. I’ve never even gone to the guy myself and I recommend him to every person who talks about getting a tattoo! Can’t wait to go in and get one myself 😁
Mike does amazing tattoo work and it’s awesome to see that he has his own shop now! I highly recommend. He does incredible portrait work and I can’t wait to have him add to my sleeve!
Me and my boay called while otw to another shop they said they took walk ins and we could get in the chair almost instantly. Most shops aren’t open on sundays, they are! Customer service was great! Franke did my tattoo, ones of if not my best hand down. He was really quick and the quality was great! Will definitely be back, and definitely recommend!
Mike is a true artist. Youre not just getting a tattoo here youre getting a piece of art. Very comfortable clean great atmosphere. Could not recommend more. Im usually pretty nervous about finding a new tattoo artist he makes you feel very comfortable very quickly. Refuse to go to anybody else now.
Love my tattoos, and love my experience. Mike does awesome work and nails what I want everytime. You tell him what you want and its done. Other staff members are always friendly and make a good armosphere for everyone.
The artistis at this shop are all extremely talented, and very professional. Have had work done by the owner as well as one of the artists working out of the shop and am very satisfied with the work they did. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get tattoo work done in the area.
Hailey did an amazing job! the entire team was awesome, very clean shop and amazing work! definitely will be back!!
I thought I was UNDER CHARGED for the quality tattoo I have now! Im absolutely blessed with the quality of work I have now! I had a 10 hour session with Mike Snarzyk and the pain was minimal for such a large piece.. The art is so good that I refuse to get tattooed by any one else.My 63 yr old aunt feels the same way about her tattoos because Mike is her only artist now also after seeing my work!!The time and effort put into their clients is second to none. I was treated with respect and listened to about my art direction. The great impression put on me is as permanent as my new tattoos.Thank you Mike Snarzyk 🙏
I’ve gotten two tattoos from Mike and already looking at another one. The time and art he puts into making your vision come to life with his work is outstanding. He listens and to what you want and adds his own expert advice to his work.
My sister and I FINALLY got our sister weekend and decided to commemorate it with complimentary tattoos. Mike did a phenomenal job and the whole team was super outgoing. We will definitely be back 😊
I’ve known Mike since we were teenagers and his talent is beyond amazing. I’ve sent several friends who have become return clients. If you are looking for the perfect tattoo you will not be disappointed! You’re welcome 😉
Darion did a phenomenal job! Excellent shading and line control! Overall, Machine in Ink has great vibes and super clean.
Great staff got me in quick and did amazing work. Darion is awesome at what he does. Super professional people and clean set up.
This is by far the best place to go. Mike is an amazing artist and has tattooed many people I know and Im always blown away by his work. Highly recommend going here and asking for Mike he will not disappoint you!
I attended a tattoo promotion event and it was a great experience. The event was very well organized. I had a pleasant experience from the wait time all the way through the tattoo itself. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and wonderful customer service from everyone at the shop. I look forward to returning again soon!
Ive been going to Mike prior to him opening his own shop, and he has become my only artist. Phenomenal work every time and his passion for what he does shows in every tattoo!!
Mike has AMAZING artwork! I follow him on Social Media and really lookin forward to the time I have enough 💲 to get an art piece done by him... I will definitely update with photos when that gets to happen...ive always heard great things & even have a couple of friends that has artwork done by him....FLAWLESS🖤
Mike did an amazing job! His attention to detail is phenomenal. The studio is the cleanest I have ever seen. 1000% recommend Machine in Ink to anyone who is thinking about getting new ink👌
