Got my first tattoo just yesterday! Sage was my tattooist and did a wonderful job meshing all three of my ideas together into one tattoo! Definitely will be back to get more 😅 I appreciated how accessible it was for Walk In Wednesdays and thoroughly explaining the process to me. Thank you Empire Ink for my first tattoo experience!

My husband and I started going to Mike Vest for all of our tattoos about 5-6 years ago and he has done both of our sleeves, large pieces, small pieces, cover ups, and several pieces for all 3 of my sons as well. We will never go anywhere else as long as Mike is in business!!! He is clean, friendly, professional, and really does care about making us happy. Ive referred friends to him as well and have always been given great feedback about him and his shop. My son asks me to book appointments with Mike every time he is home visiting from Alaska as well. I couldnt ask for a better atmosphere for my tattoo experiences!! So respectful and fun and such a cool shop too!!! Zach does amazing work as well and did one of my sons tattoos recently.

I love the atmosphere of this shop. Everyone is so friendly there. Mike Vest is an absolutely amazing artist! He did a sleeve for me that is stunning. I get so many compliments on it daily. I highly recommend him and all the artists in this shop.

Sage did my first tattoo in memory of my dog I lost this year. He did not disappoint. Very down to earth and professional! Will be going back for future work!

So I called the shop yesterday after being told by another shop that they were booking 6 months from now and Mike got me in the next day. Guys, this shop is gorgeous and the people are amazing. The atmosphere is so fun and welcoming. I brought in a picture of what I wanted and after stenciling it we decided to change the tattoo...completely. after reading all the reviews and seeing a lot if Mikes work, I just told him to freehand it. And that he did. Guys, I have 9 other tattoos and this by far is my absolute favorite. Mike knocked it out of the friggin park. Its better than I could have imagined. Also, on our tattoo break Chad did a phenomenal job on a second nose piercing for me. He was so considerate and asked several times during it if I was ok. It looks amazing. Overall I would give these guys 100 stars if that was an option. I would.for sure recommend this shop to everyone. And..let him go with it. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Ive gotten a ton of tattoos and piercings here, theyre the first place to do my piercings correctly and all the tattoos Ive gotten here are masterpieces. Super likable people, great atmosphere, good work. Plus they have a gift shop with a lot of cool stuff. Certainly worth checking out and I highly recommend.

I’ve had a couple of tattoos done by Zach Webb. He knocked them out of the park! He’s very quick to respond to appointment requests, is very relatable, and is very passionate about his work. I recommend him and others in the shop to anyone looking to get a tattoo, especially to people getting their first one. Everyone is welcoming and respectful.

The atmosphere here is unmatched. Ive spent time in other tattoo shops and they just dont compare. Everyone is super friendly and inviting, fun while still being professional. They act like a team here. Mike went out of his way to ease my fears after having a bad tattoo experience somewhere else. He really took the time to make sure I was happy with the design.

From doing a coverup to a memorial for my son who passed, Mike went the extra mile to make this all happen. He’s down to earth, works with you on designing, and doesn’t screw you over. Would recommend to anyone.

Mike and Sage are my go-to guys. They are both amazing guys who take good care of their people. I actually would give them a 10 ☆ if I were able. They dont give you what they want. They make sure it is what you want. Everyone in the shop are amazing and out going. Check them out.

I went to Mike for a Harry Potter tattoo that I really wanted I gave him the general idea and told him to have fun with it and add his own spin to it. It came out beautiful and I get compliments on it all the time!! Would definitely go back to his shop! He is amazing and very professional.

It was yearsss ago. Maybe 2016? I won a contest on Facebook and the owner Mike did my tattoo! I absolutely love it! He was very kind. This was only my second tattoo and I didnt even realize you were supposed to tip artists, so sorry for that Mike! But Ill definitely get him back one of these days, as I would love to make a trip back to Indiana and get another! Such a good experience and an awesome water color tattoo that I get compliments on constantly to show off 💜

Mike at Empire Ink did mine and my husbands wedding ring tattoos. This was our first and only tattoo. He did a really good job. I was nervous and do not like pain at all. He was really patient. Wedding ring tattoos are very tiny and he did a good job keeping mine looking delicate like I wanted and got the color I requested perfect.

Review №22

Empire Ink is the best tattoo place I’ve ever been to. I remember the first time I walked into the shop everyone was super friendly and the atmosphere was great. I got two piercings one by Mike and one by Chad and both experiences were great. I also got several tattoos from there and every single experience have been great. I 100% recommend going to Empire Ink for tattoos and piercings, they’re the best!

Ive had a couple tattoos done by Amanda Warrick and have been very pleased overall! Her work is so neat, clean, and genuine. She has a light hand and I really appreciate that when getting ink! I definitely recommend her for black and white, stippling, or any fine detail work :~)

I LOVE this shop. Everyone is so welcoming, beyond comfortable to be there. I’ve gotten several tattoos there along with a piercing. It’s very family oriented everybody helps each-other. I wouldn’t want to support any other shop. Best one around.

Review №26

I went here with my boyfriend a week ago from a near by campus and he started off talking online to Mike about ideas. They were REALLY easy to brain storm with and told us to come in the next day to schedule an appointment after cementing down our ideas. It was both of our first tattoos and Sage was the artist who gave us the tattoo. We both LOVED him and how he worked with us, he is a very trust worthy and skilled= artist and would recommend him to anyone. We were more than satisfied with the work they did for us.

Review №28

Worked with two artists from here. Took my money and my tattoo still isnt done. So called owner said sage didnt work there anymore and would make it right. Tried to say he paid Sage the 300 to finish the work not done for the money I already paid up front. Havent heard from either one since. Just lies to get my wife to take down her review. Dont recommend, and if you do, dont pay unless the tattoo is completely finished.
