LOOK NO FURTHER! DETROIT GRAND TATTOO COMPANY IS THE PLACE TO GO! This was my first time getting a tattoo. I have wanted one for a long time but always got anxious at the thought of an artist not liking my idea or getting uncomfortable about the placement/size but not speaking up and then later regretting my decision. I went in during their Walk-in Wednesdays (I highly suggest if you have an idea and want to skip the wait list) and as soon as I walked in and began talking with Kevin, my anxiety almost immediately went away. He is SO knowledgeable about the art of tattooing and he is also very patient. I appreciate Kevin and the business he is running. I also got lucky and had the privilege of meeting his amazing wife and checking out his private tattoo studio, Witch House (do yourself a favor and check it out because it's awesome). You can really tell Kevin, his wife, and the Detroit Grand Tattoo crew really care and are passionate about what they do. They want the best for their clients so if you want a quality experience from start to finish, now you know where you need to go! And if you don't well...good luck! I will definitely be back to see Kevin and I will be telling everyone to go see him or anyone at...
Read moreI highly recommend this shop. The place is very clean and has a warm and relaxed vibe you don't always get elsewhere. It also spares any intimidation or arrogance.
I made an appointment with Bodah after seeing his extensive portfolio and Instagram online. The goal was several cover ups on my upper back from years ago. I met with a few other artists on this in the past but the options given to me of what they could do with it were limited.
We met right on time and he asked what I wanted to put over it and that we could basically do anything. We brainstormed a bit and He drew up 2 custom pieces that looked incredible. His confidence really put me at ease and he immediately went to work on it. During session 1 at first break I remember taking a look in the mirrors and being shocked at how much he had gotten done in such a short amount of time and good it already looked. I had a great experience getting these done and he was really cool to talk with thru it.
Bodah does some very impressive tattoos and I am glad I chose him to finally get it done, They look awesome! I will definitely be going back to him/here for my...
Read moreI scheduled a half sleeve tattoo appointment with Jesse Neumann for August 17th. On August 5th, I emailed him three pictures showing every angle of the exact tattoo I wanted to get, he said he would email me the drawing before the tattoo appointment so I could approve of it, I also paid the booking fee that same day so the process could continue smoothly. By August 10th I still had not received anything from him. I let him know I did not want to proceed with the tattoo. The manager, Pamela was very understanding of the situation and my concerns. Jesse on the other hand, decided to get snarky with me and replied to my cancellation with "Wow, ok! Let me talk to my manager about this." I tried to apologize to him and he responds with "I'm just not the artist for your tattoo." It's one thing if I didn't have a clue of the tattoo piece I wanted but I clearly laid out the details for this artist and nothing was completed or conveyed to me. I was really looking forward to getting a piece done at DGT because I've heard only great things about their business. I have two tattoos currently, and neither experience was this...
