Came for a walk in and things could not have gone any smoother! Thank you lots to Big Top for a great first experience. Nadja is super awesome and made the 40 ish minute tattoo feel like a breeze. Awesome line work and personalized sketch. Will be back to add on it.
I had a wonderful experience. Shop was very clean and welcoming. Josh and I had a good time talking and I love my tattoo. Will be back to see him soon!!
Love Big Top Tattoo! I have nine tattoos and they have done two of them, the first years ago. I have wanted this for a couple years and Josh was amazing at getting it at the placement I wanted in the format I asked for. I love that this place is walk-in friendly as most of my tattoos are not large or complex enough to need a consult.
I got my first ever tattoo done here yesterday, and despite me being a bit nervous, I had an overall phenomenal experience. The shop is a great environment, and Adian went out of his way to put me at ease. The work turned out exactly as I hoped it would, and it was done quite quickly. Will definitely return here for my next one!
Dan is a master of his craft, I am honored too be able be tattooed by such a talented artist. He eats, breathes, and sleeps everything tattoo. I truly believe every client that walks into Dans shop will get a unique experience. Dont believe me? Stop in and find out for yourself!
Adian did amazing! I was a little nervous because this was my first tattoo, but he made sure I was comfortable and liked the placement of the tattoo. He made conversation and he showed me how talented he is! Will be back! (when I have more money lol).
I absolutely love this place I got my first tattoo here all the artist is very nice and friendly. Special shout out to my artist who was so nice sweet and honest this will definitely be my new spot
Big Top Tattoo is a great, fun, clean place that will accommodate all your tattooing needs. All of the artists want the best tattoo for you, if its your first time they will walk you through it and make sure you get the best tattoo and experience. All of the artist there are amazing and are all looking out for you. Mark Heggie did my amazing sleeve and cant wait for the next one.
I got a tattoo 40 years ago that was the worst of my tattoos. I have tried to have it covered up but no artist would even try. Stopped into Big Top on Saturday. I was prepared to just have it covered by a black band around my wrist. They told me they wouldnt do it, they could do better. Josh took on the challenge. I was in the navy and had been inked by a couple famous artists. When I told them Mike Malone, Honolulu, and Pinki Lee, Hong Kong had worked on me it got the attention of a few of the artists. Josh agreed to do the work with one request, I had to let him take photos of their work. Of course I agreed. Sunday my worst tattoo became a thing of beauty. I was a walk in and all the staff greeted me with open arms. I would definitely recommend Big Top Tattoo to anyone looking for a clean, friendly, talented shop. Since Josh did the magic I would definitely recommend Josh. I think any of the artists would be good. Thanks Josh for making my 40 year nightmare into something great!!
Always thrilled with the work I have done by Loaf. Amazing at what he does and I highly recommend him. This shop is always clean and no matter who the artist is Ive yet to see work come out of here that I didnt like. I have two other pieces that I got elsewhere that I actually plan on having redone and covered by these guys. Definitely regret going anywhere else.
I had a structure tattoo completed by Loaf. Lines are solid and straight as an arrow! Grateful and happy to have worked with a respectful, talented artist... He didnt do the blackout. Worked into it as requested. Thank you.
I have been here twice recently and love my new tattoos. Adian did a fantastic job both times. Super talented and very easy to work with.
Im currently in the process of getting my first tattoo and its exceeded my expectations. All of the artists are super friendly and bring an incredible amount of experience to the table, and you see that in the art they produce. Highly recommend
Quality tattoos, artists are very professional and knowledgeable. 10/10 place.
I went in to the shop today and Josh took care of me quick and easy early Christmas gift for the wife. I really appreciate the short notice and quick walk in service. I’ll be back to complete the other tattoos that I’m in need of. Thanks again guys.
Got this tattoo done for my grand daughter. The artist was great, respectful! Ill be back!
We highly recommend John Kurse. My husband, son, and I traveled 1 hr 30 min to see him. It was absolutely worth the drive! He came recommended by a friend. He is great to work with. He was patient. He listened. He is confident. His work is neat, clean, detailed, crisp!👍🏻 Very creative. John is funny, made us laugh. I liked the atmosphere of the studio. The other artists were friendly. Good music. It was clean and organized. I liked to see the artists having fun as they worked. Thank you John for taking care of us. I can’t wait to make our next appointment for another visit! Fun experience to celebrate as a family!
So cool this place still does walk-ins. Sometimes, that spontaneous urge to get tattooed makes for the best experience.
Ive asked Josh to tattoo me in a hundred different styles, and be knocks it out of the park every time.The shop is clean and the artists are professional.Highly recommend.
John Kurse did a great job on an anniversary tattoo for my wife and I. He was friendly and courteous and the shop was soooooo clean! Everything was just done well and it was an overall great experience. Definitely recommend them and the shop as a whole.
Exceptional tattoo experience with Giuseppe . He did a tattoo on my finger that has some fine detail and it turned out fantastic. I needed a quick touch up after the initial healing but after that it has been great and gets complimented all the time. I highly recommend Giuseppe for any tattoo needs.
I have been getting tattooed by Dan Rick for 10 years. I have referred 10 people to Dan. His reputation for amazing work is unapparelled. A clean, engaging environment. Dans creativity in his design and application is incredible. If your serious about getting ink from the very best in the industry, Big Top Tattoo and Dan Rick are my #1, and only choice. Wouldnt go anywhere else.
Have had two sessions with Giuseppe Tocco so far and both have been great! His artwork is awesome and hes a blast to talk with during the tattoo session. Definitely recommend giving him a look for your next tattoo.
Took my partner to get their first tattoo, walked in, waited for one of the artists to finish with their other customers while someone made the stencil, and they did it quickly and perfectly. I dont know much about art or tattoos but I know what I like and I liked Big Top Tattoo.Clean, fun and reasonable, 12 out of 10
100% recommend this place!! My mom and I walked in just inquiring about getting our first tattoo. They were so accommodating and did it for us on the spot! One of the artists, Loaf drew up exactly what we wanted, changed/tweaked accordingly and made it PERFECT! We both were super nervous and he made us feel completely comfortable! This was our first and definitely not our last!! Love Loaf! 🤘🏼🖤
I honestly never write reviews. But I felt I had to let others know my story. I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s ever received A tattoo that they were unhappy with, because a artist claimed they can do it and afterwards you find out they couldn’t. And here you are left with a tattoo you’re just so unhappy with. So that being said, for many years I was extremely leery to ever get another tattoo again. And today I happened to stop in Big Top Tattoo. SO GLAD I DID! I really gotta say that not only is that place so welcoming, friendly, kind, Polite, clean, and just has such caring staff that they are all so talented and patient with each client. I’m pleased to say that I had a VERY TALENTED AMAZING ARTIST named Loaf and I walked out with a absolutely beautiful tattoo that I’m VERY HAPPY WITH along with my son who also got one from Loaf. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AND I PROMISE YOU you’ll be one happy person with his amazing talent and art. I’m beyond excited I finally found a place and the perfect tattoo artist. What a relief.... I can’t thank him enough. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BIG TOP TATTOO💯
Josh was great and so was nayla. Got us 5 in for tattoos within an afternoon and did great work. Short and sweet!
Hands down the best shop I have ever walked into. The vibe is warm and welcoming. The talent is amazing and the artists are even better!! Especially my guy Loaf! He is beyond talented and surpassed any expectation that I may have had when I first started getting tattooed by him a year ago. His lines are tight, his color pops and lets be honest he brings my ideas to life, even when they are all over the place (; And if you haven’t sat in one of those shop chairs you really should because they are super comfortable!
Lorne Morris is the best! This is my first tattoo and he nailed it. Lorne is very professional and fun to chat with. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the process. Big Top is clean. The other customers and tattoo artist were friendly. Music was perfect despite what others might say. As a first timer I would definitely recommend you check them out.
Got my most recent tattoo here from Tessa. I have 3 others and can definitely say this one was the best experience I have had yet! I came as a walk in with an idea and Tessa sketched out the perfect tattoo for me. She recommended small changes to the design to ensure that it would still look clean a few years down the road. It was nice to hear how much they cared about really doing good quality work! I will certainly be returning here for any future tattoos!
I could not say better things about my experience here. I just got a forearm piece done by Lorne and it turned out better than I could have imagined. Hes got a gentle hand and hes swift! We covered the inside of a my forearm with a lioness and cub and he completed the whole thing with incredible detail in about 3.5 hours. I do have a high pain tolerance but not lying when I say that I was barely uncomfortable during the entire tattoo. I have my other forearm done as well and the piece he did had more outline and more shading and it hurt significantly less. Not only that but hes good company too. The entire shop was friendly and just a good vibe. Wish I could go back tomorrow and finish the half sleeve. Cant wait to have him add to it!
I would 100 percent recommend this shop. They have an array of talented artists who truly do an amazing job. I have personally been going to Jeff for all of my tattoos for the past three years and can honestly say I love all of my pieces. He is professional, talented and pays extremely close attention to detail. If you want beautiful art work, for sure check out Big Top!
Loaf did a small peice on my chest. I was surprised when he said it was done already, but it was perfect. The cleanest lines, which is why i went to him in the first place. Ill be back for my next one for sure.
Lorne did my first tattoo and being in the shop was an awesome experience! Lorne did and incredible job and I definitely plan on returning for my next one!!
Kyle Weeks will provide you with some REAL clean lines and serenade you to the tunes of your favorite songs. They will however be with his own, dare I say...far better, lyrics.
Josh, Loaf, Mark all great guys. Clean and safe good place!
My daughter and I got tattoos (that we drew for each other) by Loaf. He did a great job on the tattoos as well as accommodating our designs. He also touched up an old one and gave me one more. He was friendly, professional, clean and pain free. I will definitely be back for future artwork!
Tessa is wonderful :) I have been to her twice in the last three weeks for two different tattoos. I didnt have a design or really even reference images for either - I told her the meaning behind the tattoos and some elements that I like, and she did the rest :) My first tattoo was a simple tree and she designed it and placed it perfectly. My second tattoo was larger and on my side from my hip to under my bra line with color and black and gray - Tessa designed the whole thing so thoughtfully and carefully, with perfect execution. Tessa made the whole experience so pleasant and as pain-free as possible. Shes super great all around, and I highly recommend her to anyone :) shes an excellent and talented artist that I plan to have do my half sleeve and back tattoo. I am so thankful for all the work she did for me - its refreshing to see people who put so much into their art :) love this place and specifically Tessa!
I got tattooed by Giuseppe a couple of times and he’s done an outstanding job. Tattoos still look fresh months after and had amazing customer service. The environment was really cool as well. Highly recommended, great experience all around.
I had some Initial ink done at another local shop, the quality was good but wanted to get more of a completed look for my half sleeve to come together which wasn’t happening. I did my research and came upon Loaf. His work and reputation were impressive. He gave me an honest opinion and told me with confidence for sure he could make this look good. I’ve had two appointments with him, and I’m so happy and impressed with his work. He is seriously talented! I will definitely be a return customer! Not to mention, it’s always a fun time to chat with the people in the shop. So happy that I found Loaf and Big Top!
Giuseppe did my tattoo and I’m so in love with it! By far my best experience at a tattoo shop. He was patient with getting my tattoo placement exactly how I wanted it. Very clean and professional. 10/10 would recommend!
I’ve been to Big Top before, but this was my first time getting a tattoo from Loaf. I came here with my sister to get a tattoo together. Not only was he patient with our uncertainty on locations and size, he accommodated our changes to the tattoo design very well. He was also super patient and accommodating to our schedule, as we had to change the date and time. I’m in love with the work, and he was just an awesome guy to talk to. My tattoo looks great, it’s healing wonderfully, and I’d recommend Loaf to anyone. Whether you’re a first timer or going for your 20th, I’d recommend him anytime.
I absolutely love my tattoo and I love my tattoo artist even more. I went in wanting a specific tattoo on my inner fingers and he explained all the reasons why that wasnt such a good idea. I love that he didnt just take my money knowing the tattoo wouldnt last in the spot I was requesting. He gave me some really good suggestions and within minutes I was tattooed and out the door. He was very professional and friendly and the work was just amazing. Whenever I do decide to get another tattoo I will be sure to go see Dave again. Thanks so much Dave I love my new tattoo! ❤
Both times I’ve been to Big Top Tattoo I have had great experiences, my first Artist was Jeff, he was so kind, professional, and he did a wonderful job on my tattoo!! Today I had Dan, once again a wonderful experience, he tattooed my sister and I, she said she would definitely go back! All of the tattoos look amazing, exactly what we wanted! Clean, professional, and such friendly service, great establishment all the way around!
Mark has been doing my tattoos for about 10 years. I wouldnt trust anyone else. He has never steered me wrong. He also recently did my daughters first tattoo as well. I have sent others to Big Top and they are always happy. All of the artists are very talented and polite.
I had such an awesome experience here! The place is clean and orderly, the staff is friendly, and I felt like my vision really came to life. Giuseppe was amazing and I love my new pieces. I already have the itch to get more and I know exactly where I will go when its time.
I was looking for a talented artist that could create a clean and awesome sleeve. After checking with some friends that knew more about tattoos and various artists than I did I choose Mark at Big Top Tattoo.The shop is clean, the talent there, the quality is impressive.We are 100% satisfied with the custom piece he created. Thanks Mark!If you want to be proud of what you put on your body go see Mark and Big Top Tattoo.
I cannot say enough great things about Bigtop Tattoo! I have gotten several tattoos done here and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The shop was super clean and the service was wonderful. Adian has done all of my tattoos. Not only did he do absolutely gorgeous tattoos, he was highly professional and was awesome to talk to. If I could give this review more than 5 stars I would Bigtop rocks!
I just had my full arm tattooed at Big Top with Loaf. His style and input was great. Whenever I had an idea and it wouldnt work, he would let me know. He cares about his artwork and doesnt want his customers to walk around with something that just wont look good.Everyone else that worked there was very nice and I saw a lot of art work over the past year, and everyone seems to do an excellent job, especially Loaf ;) Im sad that my arm is done.This place is very clean and I recommend checking them out for your next tattoo.Great job Loaf!
I walked in about a week ago for my 1st tattoo. Lorne does phenomenal work, and he was very easy to talk to as he walked me through the whole process. Very friendly place, and I loved being able to talk with other customers while getting my tattoo. I know once I decide on my next one, that I will be back to Big Top!
Best shop I’ve been to period, but definitely the best shop in Michigan for sure. Getting my second piece done by Dan and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of his work and the atmosphere of the shop he runs. Anyone you get work done with in his shop does a fantastic job. This is the only shop I recommend to my friends and family and highly recommend it for anyone looking to get solid ink put into their body.
Got my first tattoo with Loaf. Overall great experience and I love my tattoo. His lines are very clean and neat, which its surprising that a lot of artists arent. Had my appointment booked somewhere else originally and then saw his work and switch almost immediately. Definitely coming back
I got my first big piece done by Loaf. He does amazing work!! I am completely in love with it.I recommend Big Top Tattoo to anyone. Everyone there is funny, does fantastic work and very clean.Thank you so much Loaf. You are my go to now.
My name Is Nick, My Fiance and I came in here to get tattoos as walk-ins on a Sunday as they were still pretty busy, we got a consultation from Mark(The Owner) they couldnt take us that second but Mark had us leave our number, we left thinking that we wouldnt ever get a call back at all to come on back once they were done(we were more than welcome to wait for someone to be available for a walk in). They gave us a call same day and we came back in and were able to get fairly reasonable sized tattoos for reasonable prices. The work was really well done, My Fiance got writing on her left arm and I got this fun awesome Black Widow. Both tattoos were done by Loaf, and all the artist there were awesome. I was recommended to this place by my friend and I would definitely reccommend this place to anyone else looking to get some quality work done. Theyre all awesome funny people and it was a great experience for a first time tattoo for myself. THANK YOU.
Loaf at Big Top is a boss. Got my leg done this week and couldnt be happier. The shop is clean, the staff is awesome, and the artwork they do is fantastic. Highly recommend going in and making your tattoo dreams come true.
Came here to get my 2nd tattoo a month after I got my 1st one out in vegas. I came in with a basic picture of a dog similar to my first one. And asked to add a collar to the one I already had. Giuseppe did my tattoo and his work is awesome! I intend on coming back to get another one in the near future.1st pic is the one he did, 2nd pic is the one he added too.
Got a walk in tattoo, talked to someone then waited for a bit for a free artist. Got tattooed by Davey I showed him what I wanted (Black and White wild flower design) and he kept the style buy changed up the flowers, and some of the stems, as well as just making it more less cluttered which was was awesomeHe did a great job, I felt comfortable the whole time, it was clean, paid a good price for it. Couldnt have asked for more. Im super happy with my tattoo
Highly recommend Big Top Tattoo. Ive gone to Loaf for several tattoos and he always does great work. Line work is straight and clean. He is easy to work with and makes the tattoo unique to what you want. The shop is very clean and the staff are all friendly people.
My friend recommended going here and seeing Mark to get my tattoos done and I am so happy that I did. Mark did a amazing job on both of my tattoos. He is super friendly and gives off a very calm and fun energy so you wont be nervous at all about getting a tattoo. Also the whole shop is clean and everyone there is super friendly. I highly recommend going here for your tattoos.
All the guys at big top are top notch! All my ink done here!! Highly recommend getting all your work done here! True quality work, Lorne Morris just did a beautiful piece for me! If you need a tattoo they are all great! I will be back for more thank you guys.
I got my first tattoo from big top, and they were so professional. Since it was on my outer forearm i had to lay down, but i was very comfortable. I always hear stories of people being uncomfortable.I get compliments all the time on it, they did such a great job, im getting another here very soon!
You def wanna skip on this place. Veryunprofessional. Dan (the owner) clearly has angerissues and shouldnt be tattooing. Over the pastyear Ive been there Ive noticed that everyone thathas worked for him or just started to work for him,always end up leaving (big red flag). Watching himlash out on customers for just walking in and askingquestions, and from him lashing out on me forasking for a minor adjustment on a tattoo. if youdecide you want to get tattooed by this unstableperson, good luck.
Amazing place to get your tattoos. The staff is professional and immensely talented. From Mark, to Tessa, hell everyone there does top of the line work. Would recommend to anyone I knew getting any work done. Have two pieces done here and I know all my other work will come from this place. Cant recommended enough.
Aidian has now done two of my tattoos, also two of my friends tattoos as well. He does great work, he is very sweet and professional. I love the work he did for me and I will recommend him and Big Top to anyone I know that is looking to get a tattoo. Also very professional and clean! Great place!
I got my first tattoo done here and I could not be happier with the results. Josh Fallon was my tattoo artist and he deserves a ton of respect because he helped me pick out the right placement and text size so that the tattoo could turn out the best that it possibly could. Overall, I am extremely happy with their customer service and the quality of their shop. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get tattooed.
Big top is a very clean shop. All the artist are really good. Dan Rick did a Japanese bodysuit on me. It is flawless. Every time I went for my appointment I felt comfortable and the shop is a lot of fun. I highly recommend Big Top tattoo. Dan Rick is an amazing artist.
Got my first tattoo with Loaf, overall a great experience. Lots of friendly sarcasm with the employees put my nerves to ease. The atmosphere of the shop is interesting and unique, but comforting all the same. If you are possessed by a demon dont go to their bathroom. Would get more tattoos from there in the future.
My daughter got her first tattoo from Josh. He is always professional and honest. He discusses placement, size and the drawing. My other daughter and myself have gotten several tattoos from him as well, he never disappoints. I have and will continue to recommend Big Top and Josh.
My experience with Big Top was a great one. The artists are so friendly and funny that they make getting a tattoo even more enjoyable. I had my first tattoo done there and I was a little skeptical oh how it would go, and they made it an awesome experience and I will be going back soon for more!
This is the only place I will go for a tattoo. I went to other places to try and get an estimate and this is the only place where there wasnt some disinterested receptionist booking he appointments. Davey James came right up and shook my hand and said hi, as soon as I walked in. Lorne did my first tattoo and Davey did my second. Both as quick walk-ins. If they arent currently with a customer, the guys are happy to help! The overall environment is open and inviting, and the artwork on literally every wall is a small sample of the hard work each artist has put into his craft over the years.
Shop is great. Quality work from everybody in there. Loaf is currently working on my arm and I couldn’t be happier with the work he’s done or the experience he’s created. Very good at his craft and very professional. Proud to say I’ve gotten work done by him. They really know what they’re doing in there. If I could give them more stars I would.
Dan Rick and Big Top is a premier tattoo parlor. Dan level of professionalism both tattooing and doing business is top of the line. The whole team is very friendly and makes you feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I would recommend Dan or any of the tattoo artists at Big Top to anyone.
I have had all of my tattoos (four total) done by Davey James. Big Top is very clean, with fun and friendly artists. I felt very comfortable while there and they were all very accommodating and attentive. I would definitely recommend Big Top and for your artist have Davey!
I got my tattoo done by Josh around April, he was patient with me knowing that this was my first big tattoo so he let me take breaks, he was making conversation and made me feel comfortable. Overall he was a really cool dude and my expirence was awesome ! Also...it was very clean in the shop which is a huge make it or break it for me but everything was perfect! :)
Lorne is a great artist and really made me feel comfortable. What he produced for me is an amazing piece of artwork and added nice touches that I love. I absolutely love what he did. While Im done for awhile, I look forward to my next appointment with him.
Got my sons name done by Aiden, absolutely love how clean and bold it turned out. 10/10 recommend to any of my friends looking for a tattoo. Great clean friendly atmosphere.
Was super nervous going in to get my first tattoo.. the staff sat with me and calmed me down and made sure I was okay before starting. Adian is amazing, very fun to talk to and super talented. Booking my next appointment super soon! Can’t wait!
I have been looking for someone to cover up a piece on my back for the last 5 years. I found Danrick on Instagram and loved what he specialized in. Came in to see him and told him what I wanted, and he created the most beautiful masterpiece for me. He covered my whole back with such an intricate peacock, full of beautiful colors. I couldn’t be more happier about the outcome. He worked so well with me and always made sure I was comfortable, even took a break and made sure I ate lunch with the whole shop before we continued since I sat for over 5 hours. Couldn’t be happier with his service. My all time favorite tattoo from my favorite artist 🙏🏼
My sister and I were walk-ins, they set us up in between their scheduled appointments and had us out the door in 45 minutes! Very easy going and professional staff, super clean environment; shout out to loaf for giving my first tattoo (I love it)
Had a great experience at Big Top. I came to see Lorne for my first tattoo, to celebrate my 30th birthday. He did a great, quick job. Made me feel comfortable and I love the results!
I had a wonderful experience here. Gio took his time and worked hard to give me the tattoo that I wanted. I would recommend seeing Gio,or any of the other very talented artists at Big Top Tattoo.
I basically let Loaf surprise me with a mandala tattoo design (which I was unsure about at first because he chose to do dot work instead of lines) but it turned out amazing. This was my first tattoo and he made me feel comfortable and was friendly and entertaining. I will definitely be back!
Davey and Tessa do amazing work. Davey did my family crest and Tessa did my wife’s memorial piece. Both came out better than we could imagine. I couldn’t recommend this place more. Clean, professional, friendly, and great artists.
I love my tattoo that my daughters got done for me on Mothers day. With it being a copy of the original one my mom had done 23years prior when I got my 1st one done! Making the the best addition anyone can get. Now my kids have the same addiction 😯💫👍🏻 Just make sure that the addiction is tasteful to your body and professional life.
I showed him a simple text with the words I wanted for my tattoo and he came back with a beautiful elegant template that was exactly what I had wanted but could not express! It was larger than I had wanted and even though he tried to explain why it should be bigger, I was still unsure. So he patiently re-created the template smaller a few times to show me how that would look and he was right, it was the correct size the first time!Great staff, very friendly and patient. As a matter of fact, when I made the initial call to see if I could get in that night, my signal dropped and he called me back to finish giving me information!
Walked in on a whim today because the shop looked nice and well kept, even from the outside. I immediately talked to Jesse, who was incredibly welcoming and eased any anxiety i may have had. After a short wait, the process began and Jesse continued to be friendly. He managed to do my tattoo perfectly while still chatting about TV with me. Its a simple piece, so any mistakes would be blatantly obvious, but he made none. It took half as long and i paid half as much as I expected to based on work Ive watched my friends get done at other shops. Not only would I reccomend Big Top, Im coming back next week for more
Loaf is an amazing artist and a great tattooer. He made it a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. Im very excited to continue to work on my sleeve with him through the year!
Ive have 4 small tats done,my 4 sisters and I went and had a special tat.my daughter and her husband go there as do 2 of my nephews.The guys are great there,very friendly and will work with you on what you want.We are all happy with all the tats weve had done. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Thanks guys.Sharon Collins
Great experience here. Lorne did mine and he was great! I was a walk in on a Saturday and I got my piece drawn up and inked within two hours. Great atmosphere, prices are reasonable, definitely recommend.
Mark is a wonderful tattooer and all around artist with a great eye for composition. Anyone would be lucky to be tattooed by him. Especially any illustrative or traditional Japanese inspired pieces or even a combination of styles. For quality large scale pieces, he’s the man for the job.
All I can say is I will not be going back. Ive heard good experiences others have had here, the rudeness and arrogance is just one problem. There is no privacy so you hear all the banter between artists. They cant even afford comfortable seats for there clients, they have stackable chairs to sit on. The shop is way out dated and dont even get me started on the awful music that you have no choice but to listen to. There are way better shops out there and way more talented artists that will appreciate there clients considering we are the ones paying.
When I decided to get my first tattoo, I asked friends for recommendations and was bombarded with names, shops, and links to portfolios. Being the research-loving nerd that I am, I examined Every. Single. One.It took a couple weeks and a lot of coffee, but eventually, I landed on the portfolios at Big Top & Signature… When art makes you sit up a little straighter in your chair, you know you’ve found something special.Every artist here creates extraordinary work that leaves you feeling like your life is more enriched just for seeing it. Mark Heggie’s artwork left me astonished and I knew instantly that he was the one.The vibe at both Big Top & Signature is cheery and warm; and curiosities and wonders line the walls, making you feel like you’ve entered an otherworldly place apart from the daily humdrum. The artists gleefully jest with one another, heartening everyone’s spirits who comes through the doors. Even their slogan is We[Heart]Everyone.Mark alleviated all of my first-time jitters and made me laugh. Then he designed and gave me a tattoo so personal and beloved to me, that it feels like, by some magic, he etched away at my skin to reveal what’s always existed underneath.If you’re seeking unparalleled artistry, a clean and novel environment, and a sense of camaraderie, then choose Big Top & Signature. I’ve done all the research for you.
I had loaf and the tattoo turned out great! The artists are super easy-to-talk-to people and take their own art very seriously. If I get another tattoo I will definitely come here again.
Dan Rick @ Big Top Tattoo is an expert at his craft. He revived, enhanced and saved two of my existing tattoos. Recently, I had Dan add some work on my back and he exceeded my expectations once again. The guy is busy and books far in advance, but worth the wait no doubt.
I have gotten three tattoos from Josh Fallon at Big Top. Quality of work is great, staff and atmosphere is very friendly. Definitely sticking with them for the rest of my artwork.
I came into the shop a few minutes after they opened and asked if they could do a quick walk in. Everyone seemed busy, but they quickly found a way to squeeze in my little tattoo into their busy schedule. My tattoo turned out a lot better than expected and I will be going back. The only downside is that they accept CASH ONLY.
Just finished getting my tattoo by JEFF! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! He totally nailed what I asked for. It came out better than I expected! He knew I was nervous and totally put me at ease. I can’t wait to come back to get my other tat worked on.
Mr Heggie has been doing a sleeve coverup for my daughter for the last few months. The shop is always clean and sterilization is on point and consistent. Friendly helpful staff. Mr Heggie is a master of the craft. If youre getting a tattoo, go here! Get a piece that youll be thrilled with, proud of, a piece that people will admire often. Youll be like my daughter....enjoying how much everyone loves the art on you!
I would strongly recommend Big Top Tattoo! This picture is after 3 sittings! I have about 7 more visits before my arm is completely done and I love it.I have well over 20 tats and the work here is top notch.
Mark Heggie is a masterful artist worth every second of appointment wait time. Not only is his artwork second to none, he is compassionate, caring, and patient with first timers and made my daughters experience one of joy.
Went here for a cover up of a thick black tattoo. Josh worked some magic because you cant see it anymore and Im in love with my new tattoo. He also told me jokes to get my mind off of the sensitive areas. For real, the best.
Love this place and all the artists in there. First time getting a tattoo. Lorne made me feel comfortable and did a wonderful job. I will definitely go back.clean place.they do beautiful work.
Good art is overshadowed by the blatant racism.My little brother got his first tattoo from an artist here back in December and had a great experience, so I didnt hesitate to choose Big Top when I wanted to get a cover up on my knee. I walked in and talked to an artist, who quoted me a price and told me hed be available in an hour. I sat down in the shop to wait, looked at the artists past work, which was very impressive. Mr. Heggies work also caught my eye, but as I looked closer at one of his flash sheets, I saw a design that featured the words Arbeit Macht Frei. I did a double take, and thought maybe it was somehow ironic and not pro-Nazi (unlikely), but as I sat back down to wait the last ten minutes or so, one of the artists (who had glasses, and who I had previously assumed was Heggie) started telling blatantly racist jokes. One other artist seemed amused, and then a woman in the back chimed in that maybe it wasnt cool. The artists who were telling the jokes and laughing made fun of the woman, sarcastically asking if she was triggered, then continued to make more jokes, as well as acknowledge that the jokes were racist. I had heard quite enough, and got up, walked out, and left. I was really disappointed that Id wasted my time but I am not willing to spend my money in a shop where racism is not just tolerated, but encouraged. All of the art I looked at was phenomenal, but no art is good enough to justify the racism that the two artists displayed.
Got my sons footprint done there 5yrs ago it still looks awesome. Got my daughters foot done 2years ago an it looks terrible. Its so faded already the older tattoo looks better then the newer. An i had my kids names put above their feet an its sooo scratchy. Ill be going to wonderland from now on.
I walked in Big Top praying someone can fix the koi fish on my arm since it’s super faded and even embarrassed to show it off. Mark checked it out and I set up an appointment just to get started and just one 2 hour sesh made a complete difference. He started on the inside of my arm yesterday and I’ve never been so happy with how everything is coming along and I’ll only go to him for ANY of my tattoos for the rest of my life. Don’t sleep on this place💪🏼
Loaf does detailed and high-quality work. He did my family crest recently, and suggested some changes to it that I hadnt thought of to make it even better. I couldn’t recommend him and this place more.Professional, fun and friendly.
Garth did both of my tattoos a few years ago. He did an excellent job on my foot. I went back a few months later for a coverup on my wrist. It turned out terrible! I regret the coverup more than the original. I recently went to a different artist that added highlights and shading because what was done didnt even cover the original. Gave 2 stars only because of the work that was done on my foot.
This place is really a fun environment to be in, with friendly, talented artists. I got a tattoo here today, and it came out MUCH better then i had expected. My appointment was with Mark Heggie, the price was very fair, and very well designed.
Loaf is amazing. Husband has had two tattoos done by him and I just got my first one done by him. Love how clean his work is! Thank you!
Got my tattoo done by Loaf and I love it! I have a hand full of tattoos from other places and this was my favorite place. Everyone there was super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back.
Hands down ... a great experience working with Lorne. Phenomenal artwork. Takes my ideas and applies his perspective and creativity.Countless compliments on his work.Keep up the great work guys!!!
If you want an amazing tattoo then you need to go to Big Top. The place is very clean and every artist there does amazing work. They are all very friendly and funny. I tell anyone I know who is looking for a tattoo to go to Big Top.
I was extremely impressed with how patient and gentle Loaf was with my somewhat squeamish friend who got a best friend tattoo with me last month. I give him thanks for being such a talented and thoughtful artist! :-)
Do NOT listen to the moronic individuals who gave this place a one star review. Even though I only had touch-up work done on a piece I got many years ago, the quality and precision of the process brought it back to life! Big Top is the place to go, and I for sure plan on being a regular.
I’ve been trying to make an appointment for my touch up with Tessa and no response. I called the shop two weeks ago as soon as they opened at 12 left her message, because she was with a client . Heard nothing, texted her after Halloween and nothing again. Being in the business world as well , it’s unprofessional not to reply. Anyone could’ve called me back from the shop to setup up something. Lesson learned! I didn’t mind even if I had to pay outta of pocket again, why I made an appointment else where.
Another great experience at Big Top! Walked in w/no appointment but Mark fit me in & did two awesome tatts for me! Thanks Mark, awesome job, love the work you did!!!
Great Shop! Tessa did a cover up for me and it turned out wonderful! Hand drawn on my arm in the shop... great artist. I WILL be back for more!
Loaf was AWESOME! Fantastic job on function, form, and follow through. Have been back 3 times since he did my first one and plan to be back again soon!
Got my first tattoo done with Loaf! I went in with an idea I had and he guided me in the right direction and I couldnt be happier! Turned out great! Definitely will be going back!
Lorne has done a piece on my back and he’s so friendly and he took a design I wanted and turned it into something much cooler and I just think friendly tattoo artists that are passionate about helping you with a tattoo makes the experience itself
Loaf did a awesome job on my tattoo!! My tattoo healed quick! I would recommend loaf to all my friends! My tatt was neat and clean looking, love the shading!
I came in as a walk in. Loaf did my tattoo and I couldnt be happier. He is very professional. I am beyond pleased and will be coming back when I want another tattoo.
Ive come in for many hours of work with Joe, and havent had a moment where I didnt feel absolutely comfortable. Great guys, great music, great environment, and amazing art. Ill be coming back time and time again!
Love big top and the crew they have awesome service and awesome people I have never had a bad experience with them always walked in excited and came out stoked highly recommend this shop to anyone interested in getting artwork they’re the best mark Heggie is a savage with a gun so are the rest of the crew don’t believe me well then go in and see for yourself I promise you won’t regret it
My buddy & I wanted to get tattoos on a whimb..They were accepting walk ins on a Saturday when most shops dont...I was impressed w how clean it was at first glance...Very professional & friendly...They give educated advice when it comes down to positioning...Very happy w the work!!!
Adian did a great job on my two studio ghibli tattoos! I highly recommend Big Top!
Awesome shop, super clean and friendly staff!! Nadja was my tattoo artist and she did an amazing job! She was very kind and honest!
The absolute best tattoo shop. Best artists. Awesome vibe. If you want good work go to Big Top. Cant give them enough compliments.
Nice place. Everyone is very friendly. Open 7 days a week.
Love this place. Ive had my last four tattoos done here, and I couldnt be happier with the results. Competitive pricing. Friendly, fun and comfortable atmosphere.
I am very happy with my tattoo, Being my first tattoo I did not know what to expect. Josh did a amazing job on calming my nerves & giving me a tattoo that I was very happy with.
I love my tattoo it turned out so wonderful in loving memory of my wonderful mom ♡♡♡
My son got a tattoo done there and it is the best shading I have ever seen. Excellent staff!!!!!
Rude and arrogant from the moment I walked through the door. Was there to get my first tattoo and was immediately turned off by how I was treated and talked to. Turned right around and left. Customer service needs to be polished up here.
Tattooed by Loaf and he did an amazing job. Friendly service and entertaining staff. Would come back if I wanted another tattoo.
I went in with what I wanted for a tattoo, got it done and was out. Very nice place, well decorated. I enjoyed going and will go again when I get another tattoo.
Highly recommend, Super clean, loved my tattoo!
Got my grandpas name tattoed on my chest right under my collar bone and couldnt be happier. I plan on going back to get my next tattoo. I have referred Big Top tattoo to many people already. (: thank you!!
Went to Big Top Tattoo for my first Tattoo. Davey did an awesome job on covering a scar i have on my right leg. Highly recommend Big Top Tattoo.
I dont think its possible to walk in and not get a tattoo. Tge guys are awesome there. If they dont do that style they will send to the person in the shop that can which speaks volumes. If you need a tattoo do yourself a favor and go to big top
Every artist in the shop does amazing work. Highly recommend checking Big Top out for your next tattoo.
Mark Hegge did a phenomenal job on a very important memory tattoo.Thank you for your professional artistry.Boyfriend made an appointment immediately when he witnessed the great job Mark did..Thanks & see you all soon!
The guys were cool as hell, very friendly and professional. Tattoo came out pretty dope as well. Will be coming back when Im in town again.
Tessa did this amazing cover up for my wife. This is the second time I have gone to her (3 tattoos) and I am impressed every time. Thanks Tessa!
Got my first tattoo by Loaf and I couldnt be happier with it. Awesome atmosphere and awesome people. Would recommend!
Loved the Tattoo Artist! She was awesome. Very patient with too as this was my first tattoo experience.
Go hit up davey,, just got my first tattoo from him and he did a stellar job. Hes super chill and knows what hes doing. I will be going back
Great work. always willing to work around my schedule. call dan . turned a nightmare tattoo into an amazing coverup. so good went back for full sleeve.
Super nice guys, went in for cover up but got refused and given the card for laser removal. Takes a truly professional person to recomend whats the best choice for the client.
Joe did an amazing job on my tattoo will definitely be back for another one by him!
Huge heartfelt shoutout to Loaf. I just love my art in honor of my Dad.Hit him up. You won’t be sorry.
Amazing artist definitely will go back again joe did an amazing job on my ankh tattoo and my wife’s jack skeleton
They were awesome! Did my wifes and daughters mother/daughter tattoo plus my cover up and did a great job!
Lorne did a cover up for me, and I absolutely love it!! I couldn’t be happier. Great people, great prices, and great work
The owner did a Robert Frost tattoo on my side.i love his work and he was so seeet! Even held the door open for me as I left :)
Tattoo done by Lorne Morris. Very VERY pleased with his work. Most definitely will be returning to Big Top for more!
I went in with my father to get a tattoo and my father consented and and mother and it meant a lot to me and the person there (don’t know the name but he was male) told us I couldn’t get it because HE didn’t think it was a good idea yet he isn’t my legal guardian and although he wasn’t rude I found it unprofessional and ridiculous
Highly recommend this tattoo shop,clean and friendly atmosphere. Mark,Dan and everyone else here are extremely talented.
First time getting a tattoo at this shop. Dan was great. Cant wait to finish the sleeve he started.
I got my firs tattoo at this place very good And respectful people clean place Lauren is my artist he is a very cool dude.. looking to get my second tattoo soon 🤗
The people that leave one star reviews about this place are really lame to be honest. The music, art, and atmosphere are fantastic. I will definitely be coming here in the future!
This is a great place! Great people and they do great work! I will go back if I ever get another tattoo!
Love my new addition ❤❤ Dan Rick did a great job! I will definitely be going back.
Very clean and very professional. Nadja was awesome and did a great job on my vacation tattoo.
Great experience. Josh is an artist. The tattoo is complex, gorgeous and was exactly what I had hoped for.
Got my first tattoo from Tessa, who did amazing work! Would highly recommend!
Love Loaf and all the tattoos Ive gotten at Big Top. Would definitely recommend.
Guy with glasses was very very rude i will never go back there went in to get pricings and i had a tattoo with aquafor and told me to take it off thats nasty and i put my arm on the table while my wrist wasnt even touching and told me to take my arm off i dont recomend this place unless you want rude people
They did an awesome job on my first tattoo. I would highly recommend them for tattos
Im really happy with the work that Davey James did on my arm, which he works at Big Top Tattoos.
Lorne,Your artistic flair is awesome. The eagle globe and anchor is fantastic.ThanksGregg
Great shop Lorne d. Morris is the man, easy to talk to and got me in on short notice
I dont review places unless they are top notch. They have a friendly atmosphere and a great staff and will get all the rest of my ink done there.
I showed Tessa what I wanted and she captured it perfectly. I will definitely be back
Dan rick always does excellent work, and has done so on myself, and several family members. We will be returning for more work soon
Got a four leaf clover with my parents initials 2 and a half years ago and the colors are still vibrant.
100% satisfied. The artist was friendly, professional, and very talented. Would get inked again.
Excellent artists. Clean laid back friendly environment. Excellent customer service. Will definitely be back.
Excellent service! Was in and out very fast and the tattoo looked amazing
Very friendly and talented staff. Got a great chest piece done by Mark Heggie.
Was better before Joey left. Just not the same style from the others. I found him at eternal for anyone else looking for him!
My sis and I were a walk in on a Sunday. They squeezed us in and did an amazing job.
Went there a few years back got a tattoo havent had the time to get it touched up finally when Im free I come back and I show them and they want me to purchase a tattoo to touch up the pre-existing issue..
Was my first time and it was the best!! Highly recommended even got my mom to get one 👌🏼
Loaf has a great style and real personable. Facility is super clean.
Felt like it was rushed and now having to go somewhere else to get it fixed and over priced
Josh Fallon is awesome. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Relaxing and fun atmosphere. Definitely recommend.
Got my first and second tattoo done here and i loved both of them
Great steady work on my tattoo! Still love the work done by Loaf.
Awesome people thank u so much love my tattoo definitely coming back
