Amazing experience! Atmosphere was calm and relaxing. Papa Tony really took the to listen to exactly what we both wanted and made suggestions that he felt would improve our ideas. When it came to the tattoos his attention to detail and the pride he takes in his work speaks for itself. Never felt rushed. He made the experience calm and relaxing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Papa Tony is doing my cover up, and he was the absolute best at my first appointment he took me in the same night after somebody canceled on him, and I loved the humor. He made sure I was comfortable and occupied with a show (I’m now invested in) and the first part of the tattoo looks great. He also helped me decide on what to do with the tattoo on how crazy the tattoo that’s getting covered up was. 10/10 would recommend.
The slowest artist ever, but the overall tattoo was good. However I was getting a matching tat with 2 others, and mine does not match the orher 2 at all. The artist was very distracted by his daughter being there. Also the choice of TV and music was very inappropriate for the general public.
10/06/2017- The design agreed upon was a black outline, and I would get the colors later once I settled on which colors I wanted. During the tattooing, I felt the artist scrubbing instead of a smooth single line. The lines ended up filled in with grey without my knowledge and the spacing was uneven (the design was suppose to be symmetrical, a libra symbol of balance) and appeared to be rushed. I should note the artist was repeatedly distracted by her young child. I tipped her well, out of pity, but I regret doing that.Edit: dropped from 3 to 2 stars because the picture I uploaded of the healed tattoo has been hidden from the public.
Went in for my first tattoo. Got the estimate and whatnot, and honestly it was a good experience. Chris is a good artist, not heavy handed and the work is great. Would definitely go back to him for the next oneUpdate: I went to Jake today to get my second tattoo. He worked with me every step of the way, even designing exactly what I wanted based on vague information/ instructions. He was very thorough and detailed, and gave me the greatest tattoo I have had so far. Fantastic experience.
Love Tony! Got a tattoo done 10 years ago, just went in and got her touched up looks as good as it did the day I got it.
Hard too see but I just got my first tattoo ever in memory of my sister.To me it was painless and done in a timely manner. I have some more ideas and will come back for more
First time getting a tattoo. I told Jake what I wanted and he made sure it looked perfect as well as making sure I was comfortable! Highly recommend as everyone here is super nice!And before any music lovers correct my Bass clef, it has a semi-colon because of a metaphor so its intentional.
Im so impressed with these amazing artists. Lindsay did such an amazing job with my tattoo!! She was so patient and gave me exactly what I wanted. Im so excited to have such a great piece of art with me forever!!! This means so much to me! Shes awesome and I recommend her to EVERYONE!!
My best friend and i got matching floral tattoos here, done by kyra and they are so beautiful!! kyra did an amazing job, made sure the placement was exactly where we wanted them, and was so sweet and easy to talk to!!
Shelle did a great job! This was my first ink in 40 yrs...my husbands very first! It represents something we hold very dear to our hearts...our babies...our 5 catsShelle was very professional, great to very around. She worked fast and with precision. Hopefully soon she can reinvent my old ink thats faded with age! Oh...her prices were very affordable!Come to Xenia and get inked up!!!
Tony, the owner also does tattoos. He doesn’t keep his appointments, he does ok work on some things but not everything. I have had 2 appointments cancelled by him and others cut short for his personal life reasons. My tattoo was supposed to be 4/ 3 hr sessions. I have had 5 1/2 and still not done. Took me 3 months to get an appointment this last and he called me 20 min before asked me if I was going to be there and when I said yes, he flaked on me. Yet again!! Tipped him well for what he was doing, so it’s not the fact that I was stiffing him. I wouldn’t suggest him to anyone. Go at your own risk if you want a tattoo that will take more than one session. Also, was supposed to have an appointment this passed Saturday at 5pm, he called and canceled again. Told me he would call me back to reschedule my appointment. It’s Monday, still haven’t heard from him.
I had a memorial tattoo done for my grandpa shortly after he passed away. I went in and Lindsay is who I talked to. She was very nice and gave me a price and we scheduled it. My schedule is absolutely all over the place and she worked with me to make sure I got it finished. It was two sessions but after I got it all finished up, I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Lindsay does awesome work and of the styles I’ve seen on her Instagram, @lbtattoodesign she absolutely kills it. The atmosphere in the shop is nice, not like other shops I have been to. If you are thinking of having some work done, absolutely go to totem and check them out. Thank you for the awesome piece Lindsay!
Horrible experience and a complete waste of money. The artist I paid my deposit to kept drawing things that were nothing like what I asked for. And then after not hearing from him for about 2 weeks I had to contact him. I went in and opted to add a simple design to what I already had. It took him 4 hours to do what should have taken a couple of hours, he only went in with the ink a third of the way that he should have, so part of my ink fell out. The lines were not straight. And what he gave me was nothing like what I asked for. It looked horrible and unfinished, like a child had drawn it. I ended up going to a different shop and a different artist and paying twice as much as I paid him to fix what he messed up. The owner fully admitted to me that this artist was flaky so I dont understand why they keep him. I will never go back to Totem. Go to Flesh to Fantasy in Springfield and you will be much happier.
Kyra did an amazing job! She was so sweet and personable and made sure my friend and I had a good time getting matching tattoos!
Papa Tony and Jake were top notch across the board. The tattoo turned out amazing!
I am very pleased with the art of Papa Tony for my tattoos. I love you and its soothing.
I got 2 different tattoos by different artists and they were absolutely amazing!! I recommended my friend there and they gave him a epic tattoo! 10/10 would get my next tattoo there!!
Friendly comfortable shop in the center of Xenia.The artists are extremely skilled and provide a super clean and safe environment for tattooing.I have two tattoos (3 sessions, 14 hours total work) and just planned another one with Tony Siemer, the only artist I will let ink me.My highest recomendations!
I had a appointment with Dani so excited to get my tattoo that was in remembrance of my great grandmother Dani said she was going to let another artist do my tattoo she recommended him the tattoo turned out sadly not good my friends made comments that it looked like an elementary kid drew the butterflies and the color didn’t even take so I have a bad tattoo on my arm forever 😞
Tony is AMAZING! Great atmosphere, everyone is very friendly.
We had a great time! Our tattoos are beautiful! We worked with Chelle to design sister tattoos. She listened to our vision, drew up designs, reworked it as we changed our mind and did a fantastic job. Weve already discussed our next ideas!
Dani did an amazing job on my tattoo! I couldn’t be happier! They have great people and a great atmosphere, definitely worth it!
Got a tattoo by dani here- she was super sweet and professional and she was extremely willing to work with me all the while giving her professional opinion. would definitely go again
Lindsey did an amazing job on my tattoo. I love it. Everyone was friendly there as well and made you feel comfortable.
Tony is great at what he does!! I have went to him for my last 3 tattoos, never disappointed, always amazed!
Such a relaxing, comfortable place. Great energy, and warm people. Wonderful first tattoo experience. Ill be back... And so will my friends.
Very impressed with Tonys skills and ability. Very organized and worked to provide a clean safe way to get a tattoo.
I have gotten all my major tattoos done at totem and do not regret a single one about to get another one done best place I can recommend
This place was awesome! Prices are decent and the atmosphere was great. And my artist was very easy to talk to and did great work on my arm!
Lyndsey Burke was truly a great artist!! She did an amazing job on my daughters tattoo!
Everyone is super nice, great atmosphere. Lindsay is so so good at her work and dedicated to doing a great job. Thanks so much ❤
