Alien & Co.

Now that it has almost been a year of getting both of my tattoos from here, I can speak about it. I had a tattoo that was done by Devon that I will forever hate that it is on my body. My vision was to eventually do a patchwork sleeve, so smaller tattoos that take up my arm. I have a tattoo that takes up almost my entire upper arm. Not only is the size of the tattoo very LARGE but it’s done poorly. It is nothing but scar tissue, I have a blown out line, it’s patchy in the areas that are supposed to be blacked out, and the lines are not even. Both of my tattoos are absolutely scarred to the point where it hurts to scratch it. On top of getting tattoos that were poorly done, I was also hit on not only by Devon but the owner….I would not recommend this place to anyone, let alone someone that is a young woman..I will NEVER return here, even for a touch up.

5 stars for Dustin, awesome job on my half sleeve. Would highly recommend.

I lost two of my fur babies in less than 3 months apart from cancer. I wanted to get a memorial tattoo for my Daisy May and have a halo added to an existing paw print tattoo for Bella. Alien was amazing and he understood where I was coming from. My heart is whole now because of this beautiful tattoo. Thank you

AUSTIN HAS ONE OF THE BEST HANDS IN THE BUSINESS, ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO BE AROUND, VERY CLEAN AND RESPECTABLE ESTABLISHMENT.

Cool place!! Professional artists and excellent art work!!

I got a tattoo on my hand about 4-5 weeks ago and he really dug into me. I call him and told him that he had dug into me and that the tattoo was starting to scar pretty bad. They told me to call in 4-5 weeks when it healed and when I called I just kept getting stonewalled. No apologies or anything. Now the teeth on my tattoo are completely scarred over the crown is scarred and it has faded significantly.

Dustin is a nice guy, but did awful, shaky work on a simple Celtic knot tattoo. Way over priced for what it was too. This was my first tattoo so I didnt know any better... Really upset because where the lines of the knot cut in and out of each other, they touch where it shouldnt! So finding a way to fix the tattoo is damn near impossible. Go anywhere else in Sioux Falls but here.

Literally kicked me out of his store for being “too picky” about something that will be on my body forever. Also said it was ugly (my grandparents drew the flowers for me so it was sentimental) wasn’t interested in any of my critiques. Very rude to me, he said I will never be pleased, how I am too picky, will end up not liking it anyway and will give him a bad review. So here I am giving a bad review anyway because I walked in and drove 4 hours to get a tattoo I was super exited for and walked out crying.

Seems like a good group but I was directed there and spend a good half hour talking through my idea and measuring and taking photos for refrence. I had gotten one artiest number but not the one assigned to me. So they had my number and I reached out to the artist who’s number I did have and he said he would have him message me. And we’ll it’s been 2 months and I’ve heard nothing. Really disappointing

We called, and they had no issues fitting us in the same day! Dustin did me and my dads first tattoos, and they look great! Super cool guy. The other man working there was also very friendly, shouldve gotten his name. Would recommend!

I got my first tattoo here and wasnt disappointed. They were really cool. The shop was a great vibe. All in all a fantastic first experience. Definitely coming back and 100% will recommend.

Steve is the best! Always a good time when I go visit. He does very good work as well will always trust this man to do my tattoos Highly recommend him. Besides that the whole crew his has are amazing artist good people.

Automatic 2 star for store cleanlinessI got my first tattoo done here 3 weeks ago and I got it done by Dustin and it looks horrible! I specifically wanted him because I heard he was one of the BEST! I got a simple lining tattoo, which was a heart and I also got some animals. Heart is messed up. Wobbly lines everywhere. Probably going to get shading done so it looks better. Disappointed and will not come back here ever again.

Alien has done almost all of my work and I am pleased with everything I have had done. Most recently my pup passed away and he did her paw print along with a saying in my handwriting on my foot. It turned into a beautiful cremation tattoo (I asked to have her ashes mixed into the ink).

5 stars all the way! My tattoo was done by xandra and I am so impressed. Everyone was so friendly and fun. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Wyatt did a great job on my tattoo & my friends!! Dustin did not do my other friends (first) tattoo well, we are disappointed but we’ll live. I would recommend Wyatt for sure, he’ll fix my friends tattoo once it heals. Would not recommend Dustin.

Dustin just sent three of us away with the comment maybe we just shouldnt do this when we asked for some clean lines and symmetry of our tattoo. We were all planning to get the same tattoo as a grandmother, mother, daughter tattoo. He had to sketch it and Im not sure if it was something that was not in his wheeelhouse or if he did not want the work or had an issue of some other sort. Seriously unprofessional and he just lost some work..guess he doesnt need moula?! Disappointing as we made the appointment days ago and came to South Dakota from Minnesota as my daughter is 16 and can get a tattoo here and not our home state. SO glad we decided to leave as this place did not feel right with an angry tattoo person. Would not recommend at all!

Came here spontaneously after our artist got in an accident and was not disappointed. Ron was awesome and inked exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much Ron, youre the best!

Dustin did an Awesome job on my very first tattoo! I will definetly go back for my next one with Dustin! He was professional,knowledgeable, honest and patient! Definetly recommend him.

Went to get priced and it was the most painful thing ever!The person doing the procedure must have been inexperienced and probably shouldnt have done it to begin with. I asked if she was comfortable doing it... Yeah no problem.5 mins of fumbling around my open wound because the needle pulled all the way out before the earring was placed i tapped out. Id rather push a baby out of my nose hole than do that ever again. OUCH!!Sincerely Margaret AnnP.S. im still bleeding from the unfilled hole in my ear.

I just got my first tattoo as a minor and Dustin did an amazing job very caring and made me feel at ease overall amazing experience and the tattoo turned out perfect!!

Got a tattoo of a very meaningful quote and tree...love it! but the A’s are both stone mason symbols and not what i wanted specifically...first tattoo and i love it just would’ve wished i’d know about this “signature” lettering...overall great experience

Steves done two so far and Im looking for #3. Hes the most hygienic in the state because he helped write the laws/criteria that artists should abide by. THIS is the place to go.

They are a great place to get tattoos and piercings I have had a great experience with them

You go into this place with a idea with what you want, then you come out with a work of art that beats your idea! This place is amazing and friendly a great tattoo shop that doesn’t need all the bells and whistles the other shops have! Their art speaks for its self and it’s all they need!

Ron is awesome! I will be back for more!

Alien did mine. Great work. Felt comfortable, clean, and he answers all of your questions. Only problem is he was a little heavy handed leaving some scars but he knows what hes doing... thanks alien!!

Love getting tattoos here. ALien and his crew do great work

Owner is very nice an makes sure ur very happy with your tattoo an makes sure he knows whats you want also before he starts . Will defiantly go back

Always great work from Dustin.

Professional and welcomes you in like youve known each other for years. Does great work! Im going back again for sure.

Its the only one that I would like to get my tattoo done okay and he is a nice person okay and he does a good job of cleaning up the place

Great place!! Steve is a pro at what he does only get tats from him now on...Great laided back guy and work is awesome

I have an awesome SUNNY tattoo from Alien. He has done MANY for us (we have 153 total... hes done many of them)

Affordable pricing, friendly and experienced staff, very professional, but still down to Earth. Alien and I have very similar tastes and I will be getting ink from him shortly

Its not a bad shop to visit. Nice staff and got some cool things there. Havent got work done there yet. But looks promising.
