Inkfam Tattoo Gallery: Reviews
Negative experience: Loved the conversation the atmosphere and the artwork BUT my father came in just for a name on his arm...the artist Sean talked for an hour and a half before we even started and proceeded to talk our ears of for another 2 1/2 hours with some tattooing in between 15-20 minute rants. Then at the end charged him 200 an hour for 2 1/2 hours of talking 30 min of prep and 1 hour of work. I expected him to adjust the price due to the Obvious abundance of his ranting and storytelling but no he was definitely firm. Great artwork but will not return unless there is an agreement. Because 800 dollars for an hour of work is outrageous especially for just a name in black on a forearm. 3 out of 10 experience moneywise.
Fantastic experience: Me and my husband and my son went here for my son's first tattoo and 18th birthday. First of all we went during Shadows toys for tats promotion and got awesome deals and got to contribute to an amazing cause! Second it was clean and even though we didn't get to get our tattoos from the GOAT himself (that's the dream) we all got really good work done by very professional, nice guys that made my son feel comfortable and didn't rush us when doing our designs or placement. I recommend this shop to anyone that is thinking about getting a tattoo and asks me where to go. Shadow is an awesome guy If you get lucky enough to get an appointment with him. He does great things for our community, is it amazing artist, and is all around just a really cool guy. If you're looking to get work or piercings done this is where you need to go.
Fantastic experience: Went this week to get matching mother and daughter tattoos. We had met with Sean before because my daughter is 16. He’s super professional and you can tell he cares deeply for the art that is going to be with you forever. He explained the process to her very thoroughly, even made her laugh a few times. I was instantly comfortable. He was very clear about what will and will not happen. The day of he again went over the process and what he expects. The same care and respect he put into her tattoo he did mine as well. The shop itself is clean and feels safe. The energy is wonderful. Overall, if you’re considering getting a tattoo for your teenager or with them, InkFam is the place to go. Even an overprotective mom like me knew my daughter was in great hands and it was done with the greatest sense of professionalism. Thank you again Sean!
I’m so proud to hear that! Sean def goes the extra mile to make people realize their options and makes people feel heard in the process. I’m so glad you have Inkfam a shot and Ty so much for leaving the review!
Fantastic experience: monique did my nose piercing today, she did so good and was such a welcoming person !! she definitely made the process so much easier for me
Thank you Sarah!!
Fantastic experience: The best artist hands down, very relaxing environment. Go see Sean and Shadow. If you're looking for your first or 50th tattoo, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much Jason! That’s so nice of you to say Ty so much for the review and for the good energy. We truly appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I came all the way from New York to get a tattoo from Sean at Inkfam and it was the best tattoo experience ever. The store was very clean and welcoming and Sean was great and did great work. Next time I’m back in town and need some ink therapy I know where to go to get it. Thanks again Sean you are the man.
That is so amazing that you traveled that far to come get tattooed from Sean. He is definitely very thorough and puts his heart into his work. I’m super grateful for you bro. Thank you. We look forward to you. Coming back again soon.
Fantastic experience: What a GREAT experience with Eric and the Ink Fam. My wife and I got tattoos after 35 years together. Her's says ALWAYS with 35 in RED. I got FOREVER with 35 in RED ♥️. Will definitely be BACK
I am so glad to hear that. Eric definitely takes a lot of pride in his work and he showed me the pieces that you guys got and they came out amazing
Fantastic experience: I'm 53 an it was my first tattoo Eric my Artist was so nice and honestly gentle the shop was clean tattoo didn't hurt it was a great experience
I’m so happy to hear that Tonya ! Thank you for giving Eric a chance to do your first tattoo! He def makes it a fun experience. I appreciate you leaving the review !
Fantastic experience: Monique is my most favorite piercer in all the land.. I've been to a million places and have many piercings and she is by far the best..she goes out of her way to find the exact jewelry im looking for and makes sure I'm comfortable the entire time for an easy smooth piercing.. she is so sweet and I always enjoy our conversations..she is who I will choose for any future work!
Ty so much for the review ! We love Monique also and I’m so glad you had a good experience!
Fantastic experience: First of all, I’d like to thank Shadow for the unforgettable experience of getting my first tattoo. 2 years ago I decided I wanted a henna inspired piece and a friend of mine had recommended Shadow. I looked into his work and right off the bat knew, I wanted him to be the artist for my piece. I had a consultation and was able to get the process started. Leading up to my tattoo appointment, I got to know a little more about Shadow and got to appreciate what he does for the community. This made me feel more comfortable, as he is a very transparent and laid back person. The day of my appointment arrived and he brought in this amazing energy that helped me prepare and feel comfortable. We designed the tattoo together based on 3 ideas and he made it fit perfectly. He went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and able to get through my tattoo session. He executed my vision. I truly recommend you entrust him with your visions. He is a true artist and you will not leave disappointed.
Awww thank you so much Nashalie!! That means so much to me
Fantastic experience: i got all my new piercings, jewelry, and re-piercings from monique, she is extremely comforting and accommodating along with being a great listener and being judgement free while also being honest and putting health before beauty!
Thank you tristan ! We appreciate you so much!
Fantastic experience: Started my sleeve with Sean yesterday so far it's been an amazing experience.. he does a great consultation sits down talks to you tells you what to expect and where we go from here and the rough amount of sessions you'll need. My First session was 10 hours straight, breaks drinks food when needed if needed. I haven't let somebody touch my skin in 10 years and have been looking for a new artist for a while. Really glad I stumbled into the shop. Sean really cares about his work and really cares about what you're getting for your money . The shop is very clean very professional and honest! Everyone there seem to be great people. I found my new tattoo fam new loyal customer! I would highly recommend the shop to anybody on the fence it'll be worth your time!
Ty for taking the time to leave a review and for the twist and faith you put into Sean!
Fantastic experience: Monique took my dermal out after another shop couldn’t and said it needed surgical removed. The lady at the other shop just didn’t know what she was doing but when I tell you Monique took it out in less then 5 minutes and it didn’t even hurt one bit and no scarring!! I’m truly thankful for her ♥️
Ty so much for the review ! I’m glad you had a good experience!
Fantastic experience: Loved the whole experience! Shadow is awesome! Everyone else at the studio was friendly and accommodating! If you're looking for a high quality tattoo with a great experience, I highly recommend you visit!

We appreciate you Jessica !! So glad you came to inkfam for your piercings!! MO’s the best!
Fantastic experience: Monique at Inkfam Tattoo Gallery was beyond amazing with our nervous 15 year old... She's quick, precise with her work, and incredibly professional & compassionate... I would encourage anyone looking to get a new piercing to go to her! She recommended the perfect placement & jewelry that flattered our individual needs so seamlessly ❣️ You won't find anyone better!
Awww we’re so glad to hear that. Thank you for taking the time to leave such. Good review!!
Fantastic experience: Monique provides good customer service, she is friendly with everyone and treats everyone like a friend. She is great at keeping nervous clients, like myself, calm and reassured. Prices are also reasonable and I love the vibe the parlor provides.
Thank you Eli!!!
Fantastic experience: I went there for piercing as a walk in. Fyi, if ur a minor, you need your birth certificate and a parent’s driver’s license. Monique was very sweet. She did my piecing super well, helped me with a keloid, and gave me great after-care tips. She’s very knowledgeable.
Thank you Maren. We appreciate you
Negative experience: I love the work and it seems like a great place for some customers. My ex has been getting the run around for the past two months and can't even get a conversation with someone to book. Good people with absolutely terrible customer service.
I’m so sorry you had that experience with the shop. That was definitely not intentional and I wish I knew who you were working with so I could help.
Fantastic experience: Walked in last minute to get a piercing. Monique is awesome! Did a great job on my smiley! 10/10
Ty Sydney!!
Fantastic experience: Got a piercing here as a walk-in. Highly recommend! Mo was so kind and patient. She was calm and did not make me feel rushed nor anxious, Mo was also respectful of pronouns and prefer names which is amazing. This girl knows her stuff. The shop is very clean and her technique was excellent. I really appreciate how well she cleaned the area and handled all the equipment and jewelry to not contaminate anything. She made me feel safe and well looked after. Definitely will be back for more piercings and tattoos in the future! Thanks for helping me get my septum back!
Thank you Dalota!!! She def brings the patient good energy. I’m so glad you had a good experience!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend, the piercer (didn't get her name) was amazing. She did great and the shop was one of the cleanest I have ever been in. You'll definitely regret not giving them a shot. So happy ! Thank you again!
Thank you Stephanie!! Her name is Monique. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: We got piercings here as a walk-in. Highly recommend! Mo was so kind and patient. She was calm and did not make us feel rushed even though there were folks waiting (Saturday evening was poppin') This girl knows her stuff. The shop is very clean and her technique was excellent. I really appreciate how well she cleaned the area and handled all the equipment and jewelry to not contaminate anything. She made me feel safe and well looked after. Will be back! Pictured: rook and helix piercings
Awe thank you Florence
Fantastic experience: The best tattoo shop in Indiana... not just Indianapolis! These guys and girls will take your inspiration and turn them into aspirations that others only dream about!
Thank you so much Cody!!! That’s so kind of you dude !
Fantastic experience: Really well run shop with world-class artists. The owner and his crew are also heavily involved in the community. This is truly a family and beginners and covered customers alike will both have excellent experiences. Don't forget they do the highest quality piecings; even for the little kids (parent and birth certificate needed obviously) which is better than those mall places with the guns.
I can’t thank you enough for this review of our shop!!! Thank you so much !!!
Fantastic experience: I got 2 of my tattoos redone by Sean here a while back, and everyone in the building was amazing and really nice!! Sean was super easy to talk to during the whole tattoo process, and he was super helpful with all the aftercare questions I had. I will definitely be going back for any future tattoos that I wanna get! The picture and video are after they were done healing. (Poor lighting I know haha)
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for giving Inkfam a chance!!! We appreciate you !!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely adore this place! I love the piercer she is the sweetest person and very understanding and very patient! She’s also a nurse and honest about if your anatomy is correct to do it and will tell you if it might reject, honesty is key to having a good clientele. The tattoo artist there is honestly the best tattooer hands down. Has amazing work and very professional! Hes very honesty with you and I appreciate that more than anything!
Thank you Isabella!!
Fantastic experience: Wish I could give this place 10 stars. Mo was amazing and prices are great too studio felt homie and comfortable. Definitely going back... great quality work and the people are amazing.
Thank you Doris!!! We super appreciate you!!
Fantastic experience: Best tattoo shop around! Very professional and friendly! Shadow is an amazing artist who gave me the most beautiful watercolor tattoo on my forearm. I can’t say enough good things about him as an artist and his shop! I highly recommend if you want a high quality one of a kind tattoo!
Awww thank you so much Autumn!! This is so appreciated!!! Your sleeve is so colorful and beautiful!!!!
Negative experience: I would LOVE to be able to SAY work done there, but I've gone twice and get NOTHING but a run around. A year ago, I walked in, showed what I wanted, and was given a business card to text the artist, so she could set the appointment. I text the artist that day, and recieved a text back, telling me she no longer works there. A month and a half ago, I went in asking about a tattoo, and they took my number so the artist could text me. I've not heard a damn thing.
I’m not sure how this happened but I’d do whatever possible to help make sure we fix it. We haven’t had a female artist in the last two years so I’m not sure who it was for , but regardless I’d gladly help any way that I can. Hope you have a good day and again I’m sorry this was experience
Fantastic experience: I had a bad experience at with a tattooist but wanted to find someone who could understand what I was wanting. This erson would need to finish work the bad tattooist had not completed. I went to Ink Fam, spoke to Sean, who made a very good first impression. He managed to squeeze me in the following evening. I had so much fun, laughing, joking and cutting up with everyone there. When Sean showed me how he'd fixed my infinity symbol,vehicle has deep personal meaning to me, I got a little emotional. It was exactly what I wanted....a tribute to the man I lost last year. Thank you, Sean. Can't wait til December when you Ink me with y beloved "bird on a bat".
Awww this makes me so happy to read. I’m so glad Sean was who you sat with. He seems to bring emotionally important tattoos to life every time. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Shadow went above and beyond for me on this piece. I’m so honored to have this and it came out better than I even imagined. Beautiful souls doing beautiful work. Highly recommend ❤️
Thank you so much Donna !! That is super appreciated and I’m thankful you left the review !! Have a good day !
Fantastic experience: Woke up wanting to get my nose and nipples pierced again! Called ink fam and spoke with Sean! He was very funny and welcoming! He assisted me and when I walked in he greeted me with the upmost respect and compliments! Loved the atmosphere! Moe did my piercings, and I loved them so freaking much! She removed a keloid from a previous piercing and y’all she knows the body anatomy very well! I told them they are STUCK WITH ME.
That’s amazing to hear. Thank you so much for the great review!!
Fantastic experience: I went here for a piercing, and their shop is super cool! Nice comfy waiting area that makes you feel at home, tons of jewelry to choose from and friendly, experienced staff. The girl that did my piercing was very informative and helpful and I definitely plan on going back if I get another piercing or a tattoo.
We really appreciate that Elizabeth. Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Sean Kiersztyn did an absolutely amazing job! I went in for 4 smaller tattoos and he did a great job on them all. They turned out better than I could have imagined!
That’s awesome thank you for coming to inkfam!!
Fantastic experience: Great place to work with. Artists are passionate and honest. Definitely recommend a consultation if you are on the fence. And even more so I recommend using them for all your body art needs and wants.
Thank you so much Stacey !!
Negative experience: Loved this place love shadowink and the family feel they bring to the place but after a yr of working with sean on a sleeve and 7000$ spent it is only half finished. Sean quit responding to my messages when I brought up the fact I was quoted $7000 range for the finished piece. I asked him how many more sessions or time it would take to finish and he could not give me a straight answer. They are great artist but I feel after I laid down 7000$ just for a half a sleeve they would be respectful of my concerns instead of going awol and leaving me with an unfinished piece. A peice I started to hide self harm scars so it was a very important piece for me or I would not have invested so much time into it. I've reached out to multiple ppl in the shop and have not received a response in months.. I would be very greatful to hear back from Sean or shadow on making a plan to finish my sleeve. I'm not looking for a free tat but no one just hands out money without an end game planned out the end game we had planned did not work out the way he had hoped or explained to me. Last message I got from sean said to let him know when I was ready for a new session I instantly replied that i was ready but never got a response back. Not professional at all as soon as I showed concern and wouldn't let him brush me off with a hand held out for money, he went awol and I haven't heard anything. I've also reached out to shadow and told him the issue and asked if he would consider finishing the sleeve sean started I got met with silence. All I ask is for respect and my concerns to be acknowledged.
I had no idea this happened and I have not seen your message ! I am so sorry! ( this is Shadow btw). I’m not sure where you messaged me but how can I get ahold of you so I can help you handle this or get to the bottom of this ? My gosh I’m so sorry .
Fantastic experience: Had a great time getting pierced by Monique. The staff was friendly and very flexible. There was 5 of us girls getting multiple piercings all together and Monique was amazing and patient. I would definitely go back.
We really appreciate you coming to Inkfam and trusting us with your piercings!! Especially for all of your friends. Thanks so much for the review too!! Have a good day
Fantastic experience: I had my lip and my nose pierced by Mo and she was awesome . I was originally nervous and kept changing my mind but she didn't care at all and actually gave me very useful information for how much it would hurt and how to take care of it as well . She also talked me through the whole thing and it felt like it was over before it even started . 10/10 experience and I'm definitely going there again . Also the employees were so kind
We are so grateful for your review and for the trust in the first place. Mo is so helpful and we are so happy you felt that from her too. Ty so much !
Fantastic experience: Josh Tennison has been working on an arm sleeve for both me and my husband and both of us are extremely happy with his work and creativity. Joshua Tennison is professional, caring, and a top of the line artist and in my opinion, one of the best tattoo artists in Indiana! He takes sanitation and cleanliness of his shop and practice very serious. I highly recommend Ink Fam/Josh Tennison!
Thank you Tamora!!! We are very proud of Josh- aka Shadow and love the sleeves he’s doing on both of you!! Thank you for the kind review!
Fantastic experience: Big shoutout to Monique!! thank you so much for my piercings , I love them. She was great with me and was patient throughout the whole process. Will be back!
Thank you so much !!! We really appreciate you trusting us with your new piercing!!
Fantastic experience: I am a returning customer to InkFam. They are an unbelievable crew! Very welcoming, very clean, and very friendly. Monique Is a very good piercer. She’s quick, caring and very professional at her profession. I recommend her for any piercing.
This makes me very happy to see. Thank you so much crystal !!
Fantastic experience: I’m truly happy with the service that I received here at this shop. Monique pierced my ears and she re-pierced my nose. She was patient with me from start to finish and made me feel extremely comfortable through the whole process. And not to mention the shop, was extremely clean and organized! I’m looking forward to coming back very soon!
We can’t thank you enough for the kind words rhonda. Thank you sincerely. I’ll pass the review along to Monique!
Fantastic experience: Great environment! Nice people! Fair pricing! They are definitely the people to come see for all your tattoo and piercing needs!
Thanks Joshua. That means Alot to us. We def pride ourselves in these things. Have a good day !
Fantastic experience: Mo and the staff of InkFam have ALWAYS been awesome to me. I first encountered them when I wanted a nose piercing after 8PM on a random Wednesday night. They were the only shop that was open and willing to do the piercing. That is when I met Mo. From Day 1 Mo has always been the bomb and so very helpful. Not only did she pierce my nose, but she also gave great aftercare instructions and always made herself available if I had trouble changing a piercing. A few weeks ago I had issues changing my nose ring and at that time Mo properly educated me on the type of ring I needed to be purchasing as some are shorter than others. At that time I was fussing about my eyebrows and she let me know that she did those too. She explained the cost as well as the process and we made my appointment that day. I CANNOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE RESULTS! She was very precise with ensuring that I was comfortable, that I knew what she was doing every step of the way, and that I was happy with the color as well as understood proper aftercare instructions for my new eyebrows. I highly recommend Mo and the entire InkFam crew! Thank You!!!
This just made my day. I can’t wait to tell her what a thorough and positive review she just got thank you so much for taking the time to write this out , and for trusting us with both of these services. We pride ourselves in professionalism, and Mo’ is a prime example of making our clients feel heard and well taken care of. Have a great day Miss Lish
Fantastic experience: Monique is an awesome piercer great vibes makes certain you will like what you gonna get done! Be sure to go check her out!
Thank you Jared !!
Fantastic experience: Monique was amazing. She made me feel comfortable and at ease. She explained every step and went over all jewelry options in detail. I will definitely be going back to see her.
Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Monique did such a great job with our piercings. She was super personal and very knowledgeable. We will be back!
Ty so much!!
Fantastic experience: Went to get my septum pierced by Monique. She was really great and made it as comfortable as possible. Definitely recommend and will be going back for any piercings I get in the future.
Much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: I came in to get my ears pierced and get a consultation for tattoos and met Sean and Monique. They were both incredibly nice, and I loved talking to them. They were professional, quick, and lovely to talk to and be around. I plan on coming here whenever I want any piercings or tattoos in the future.
Thank you for the feedback!! We love our Inkfamily !
Fantastic experience: My experience started a 5 days before my tattoo was completed by Sean K. I was greeted and listened to very kindly and respectfully. He looked at my reference and instantly told me he loved the concept of the art and went into deep detail of his idea of what he wants to do. He gave me all of the information of what to expect day of session if I wanted. We decided to schedule! Upon entering the building today for tattoo day, I was greeted with smiles and great energy. Everything was very clean and organized. Sean explained what I was to expect for the day and he got to drawing. His energy an confidence was awesome! And his artwork is even more incredible! The stenciling he did was perfect and he didn't have to apply more than once. When we started the session, he made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed close by. When he began, he counted down and I immediately could tell he had nice light hand. I didn't have any discomfort that I couldn't handle the entire time. He offered breaks and drinks. He explained alot as the session went on. I loved the conversations we had. Sean was always very professional. At the end he went into amazing detail which made the piece of art come more alive. I am beyond satisfied with my experience and I'm in love with my new beautiful art piece he has given me. 10/10 highly and completely recommend Sean K especially but any of the Ink Fam! THANKS AGAIN SEAN, YOU ROCK!
Positive experience: Great people. I have been there allot lately and they always make sure you are one of the family. Mo did my nose piercing and I love it next time a tat!!
Fantastic experience: Shadow did an amazing job as usual on my newest tattoo. I gave him a concept and he ran with it!!!! If you are wanting amamzing ink he is your man!!!
Fantastic experience: I had a half sleeve shoulder piece session in August with Shadow. I couldn't sit as well as I needed to complete it, so he also fit me in a month later (even though he is booked solid) to add a very important detail that I needed. He made it work for everyone and I am so grateful. Shawdowink's talent and passion of tattooing is next to none. He takes just as much pride in the work he does as he puts into the healing process and future of the work he does. One of the very best, for sure! Everywhere I go, if someone sees my work they compliment it and really love to look at the detail. Its beautiful! The rest of the staff at Inkfam are so welcoming and kind. A very comfortable place to be. Thank you for everything
Fantastic experience: S/o to everyone that works within the shop. The energy and the vibes is unmatched. A very welcoming atmosphere but huge thanks to the artist Shadow for the work, time and his creative ability to deliver! His work too goes unmatched. 15hrs of pure patience and attention to detail & body language! We got more work to do!
Fantastic experience: THAAAANK YOU SO MUCH SEAN FOR THE AMAZING TATTOO AND EXPERIENCE THT U GAV MY DAUGHTER FOR HER 16th BIRTHDAY!!!! SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT AND WE BOTH ENJOYED YOUR SERVICES AND APPRECIATED HOW KNOWLEDGEABLE YOU WAS ABOUT THE SKIN and how much you take pride in your skill and in your work.

We’re so glad to hear you guys had a great time w Sean and the inkfamily at the shop!! Congrats to your daughter and thank you for trusting us with her first tattoo . And also huge thank you for the loyalty over the years. You are super appreciated ❤️- Shadowink ( owner & artist)
Fantastic experience: Got a simple nose piercing but still had a great experience. Once I make up my mind for my next piercing, I will be going back to see Monique!
Fantastic experience: Pierced my nose for the second time. Was nervous to do it again because I had a bad experience at a different place. Monique made me feel so comfortable and was very happy with my experience! Would highly recommend her for piercings.
That makes me so happy to hear !! Thank you for giving us a try. I know she will be excited to hear about this review!! Ty brooklyn!
Fantastic experience: Great experience! I got a tattoo done by Sean Kiersztyn and was very impressed with the way I was treated and the overall result. Everyone I came in contact with at the shop was friendly and laid back but very professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely be returning for more work in the future.
Thank you Allison!! That makes my day to know you were treated with good energy by everyone. Sean is def a master of his craft !
Fantastic experience: Very clean and very professional. Great energy and their customer service was extremely superior. Monique did my nipples and my ear and it doesn’t even feel like I got a piercing. It was quick, smooth and easy. Very shocking to not feel a thing. I will be back to get another piercing and also a tattoo. Oh and the prices are unbeatable. Again I loved their energy. Thank you again InkFam.
That makes me so happy! I’m gonna tell her you left this review now !! Ty for trusting us Melah !
Fantastic experience: I just had my first of many tattoo sessions with Sean. He listened to everything I wanted and exceeded my expectations. His booth is immaculate and he was on it with hygiene. My tattoo came out literally perfect and he made sure I knew exactly what to do for aftercare. He was great to talk to and fun to hang out with. It was a great experience and I’ve already scheduled my next session. Highly recommend Sean!!!
Thank you!! We love hearing that! Sean really cares. You can feel it. Thank u!
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience! The whole staff was cool, calm and very helpful. The shop was clean from top to bottom. They take every precaution, and they all have great attitudes and amazing minds! I will definitely come back if I’m ever in Indy again. Thank you guys for putting an awesome tattoo on me today, it means a lot that you took the time to do this for my cousin and I. The little details mean everything. You made it happen and I couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you so very much
Thank you so much Jacqueline!!! We pride ourselves on cleanliness and good energy! I’m glad you felt it.
Negative experience: "Beware" trickery on pricing "Save yourself a headache" way over priced for tattoos My tattoo ended up looking like a six-year-old drew it, I am so sick, Now I have to find someone else fix it , This place is ripping people off! and S Has no talent Save yourself some trouble don't go here! There's a lot better talent at a way better price at other places, It's not worth it.
Fantastic experience: I had my nose pierced and she was awesome she took her time she explained the procedure and I was sorry relaxed I didn't even flinch I wish I could remember her name it's the only piercer that you guys have so she's a keeper!!!!!!!!!
That’s awesome to hear !! Ty Elaine !!
Fantastic experience: Got my septum pierced today by Jennifer and let me just say she was absolutely AMAZING! so fast and i did not even know she had already done the piercing. Highly recommend her! She’s awesome at what she does! Thank you so much for such a great experience
Aww thank you for the review and the trust Sarah!
Fantastic experience: When I had got to inkfam I had talked to Shadow about what kind of a tattoo I was wanting and what I wanted to have all done with it and know that he was down with my idea and it also felt good to get a second opinion from a talented artist such as himself and he was very nice and knowledgeable! While getting this done it had gotten even better when I had gotten to meet a celebrity at the shop too!!! I absolutely can’t wait to come back to get the rest of this piece done and to see it all come through when it’s completed. I00% recommend anyone to go the inkfam and request shadow to do your tattoo because he will make it happen and it’s so worth it after it’s done
I really appreciate your trust and respect! Had such a fun time on this portrsit we did for you! And it was an added bonus that Jacoby ( Celebrity) stopped by and hopped in the video w u. What a fun day !
Fantastic experience: When I say this is the best place for tattoos, I mean it! Shadow was awesome, took great care of me, and made me feel comfortable the whole time. He did an amazing job on my thigh piece and I’m blown away by it! I’ll never go to another artist. Incredible.
Thank you Raven!! I absolutely love the tattoo we designed for you !! Thanks for leaving this review !!
Fantastic experience: As soon as myself, my daughter, and my sister walked in the door. It was welcoming VIBE. We all went so my sister and daughter could get pierced I was there just for moral support. We were greeted by Shawn who made us feel super comfortable. He was very down to earth. Then we met Jennifer who was the piercer. She was a sweetheart and a bad a** at the same time. She was Very knowledgeable in what they wanted, the space was very clean. (I’m very particular about sterilization and clean spaces) So it was a “GO” for me. My daughter was getting a nose piercing and my sister was getting a septum piercing. Shawn was asking if I was getting one too. I said no, I have enough. Long story short, Shawn seen an opportunity for this to be a memorable family affair, so he paid for my piercing. Jennifer was very gentle and quick. She gave us all the knowledge we needed to care for our piercings. We all talked and laughed. Felt like I knew them for ages. We will definitely be back. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE EXPERIENCE THAT WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
Thank you Cookie !!!
Fantastic experience: 5 years of thinking about my first tattoo... mostly waiting to find the right artist and let me just say... I definitely found the right one. Honestly, Indy's BEST. I had a few ideas in mind for my very first tattoo but after seeing Shadow's work and truly amazing creativity, I gave him artistic freedom on my very large thigh/hip/side piece. I trust him, his skills and his artistic vision, without a doubt. 100%. That's a really big deal for a piece of art that will be on your body forever. He's THAT GOOD. As nervous as I was for my very first tattoo, Shadow went above and beyond to ensure my comfort. His passion and positivity are contagious. I'm beyond happy with my piece so far and can't wait for the next session. Each session is even better than the last. I'll never go anywhere else. All of those years searching for the right artist... it was time well spent to find Shadow and Inkfam. As I mentioned, I've spent quite a bit of time at the shop for my piece and I've only seen amazing work from everyone (Sean is also a phenomenal artist and Jennifer for piercings). Really you can't go wrong if you're going to Inkfam! Great team and great people. 5 stars, absolutely recommend.
Jennifer thank you sooo much for giving me the honor of your first tattoo! I had such a good time talking to you about your ideas and creating this masterpiece for you ! I love how we made it fit your body and compliment your musculature! Can’t believe we got over 100k views on it on my instagram page !! Ty sincerely for the trust and faith. And the review !! Sincerely, Shadowink Inkfam Owner
Fantastic experience: Shadow is the best! I’ve gone to him for most of my work and he makes me feel at home every time! Great experience and great artwork!!
Thank you Drew!! That means Alot man. Especially since you’ve been a loyal client and friend for over ten years bro!!
Fantastic experience: I had a few random small tattoos and I was really wanting to incorporate into starting a sleeve last summer. I had a consultation with Shadow and then started one arm. I was so impressed with his work I decided to go back and start the other arm. I just was in yesterday for a hip piece. I would recommend Shadow to anyone for his tattoo abilities you will not be disappointed. This is a lifetime commitment and you want it to be phenomenal and he will do just that!
Fantastic experience: Jennifer pierced my daughter's ears and did a fantastic job! I highly recommend her. She was clean, professional, and wonderful with my 10 year old daughter.
Fantastic experience: Walked in for a septum piercing and Jennifer took care of me. Jennifer was professional and did an amazing job! I definitely recommend going to her for your next piercing.
Fantastic experience: Jennifer gave me my first piercing and did a really good job, and helped me through it. will Definitely come back for more, and to get a tattoo from sean! he seems really cool
Fantastic experience: I had some previous work done that I wasn't to happy with that was older. I reached out to Shadow and asked for help. I wanted one piece to be touched up and another area covered. I had been looking at ideas online but was not absolutely sure what I was going to get until my appointment. I gave shadow all my ideas and told him I trusted him and gave him the freedom to do his thing. I could not be happier. I love my new ink....❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic experience: Cloie pierced my industrial and my lobes and is by far the most amazing piercer i’ve been there! She was so sweet and talked me through everything. 100% would go back and would recommend her for any of your piercings!!
Fantastic experience: Cloie is amazing...puts you right at ease, confident in her skills...had my Daith pierced and loves re-pierced..it looks amazing...well done Cloie!!! Highly recommend her!!!
Negative experience: I had to edit this review. I have never used second skin but for this tattoo it was recommended. Come to find out my skin didn’t like it so my tattoo has looked faded since it healed. I’ve reached about this but never got a response. Sucks because it would’ve looked great. Now I’m searching for someone to help get it back to how it should be.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that !! We are so grateful
Fantastic experience: Yoni did my industrial piercing and she was super sweet and informative! Overall I had a great experience and it was a fun atmosphere. I love my new piercing and it's healing well!
Fantastic experience: I'm working with Shadow and couldn't be happier or more impressed with the whole experience. He has been highly professional and thorough in the design process to make all my ideas not only a reality but to really bring them life. The shop itself is super inviting and clean and the staff very friendly. It's evident that creative art and compassionate service are driving forces behind the business. So excited to go back for more
Fantastic experience: Delaney is amazing! She made me feel so comfortable from the start. We vibed the whole time and her creative mind is extraordinary! I was so happy with my tattoos. I will definitely be back soon <3
Negative experience: Unless you want to get a large tattoo they don’t want to deal with you. I tried to speak to someone about getting a small tattoo repeatedly with no response very very disappointed in this. My son has been there had a very a nice large piece done all I want is a simple small tattoo on my wrist but apparently that is not good enough or expensive enough for them to do.
Fantastic experience: Best tattoo shop around Indy! Not only are all the artists incredible but the piercer is amazingly talented as well! I always send every one there for their tattoo/piercing needs, definitely check them out!
Fantastic experience: It’s been a long time coming to get our unit’s tattoo. We could not be more happier with the results! The time spent with Sean K while he performed his artistic skill was amazing from the start. It was like we were just hanging out in the shop the whole time. Sean k is very passionate about his work. The staff here is very friendly and personable. The other artist (DK) was very interested in our work and gave valuable input. There is no other shop I recommend than INKFAM.
Fantastic experience: Got a half sleeve done by Shadow last night! Words cannot express how much a positive environment in a tattoo shop means to me. I loved EVERYTHING about it from start to finish. The atmosphere is dope. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly. The quality speaks for itself. He’s light handed so if you have a big piece, LOOK NO FURTHER! Top 2 and he ain’t number 2!!
Fantastic experience: WOW! Where do I even start!?!?! Getting your first tattoo can be exciting, scary and liberating all at the same time. When you start your tattoo journey and have no clue of what to expect working with a tattoo artist it can be scary. You have no clue if who you are working with is "the norm". I went to another tattoo shop searching for a shoulder piece and was really disappointed with my entire process. I had very little communication, was told that he wasn't going to do what I wanted but would do something close with he creative flare and what I ended up with had NO FLOW with the curvature of my arm. After meeting shadow I WAS BLOWN away at his professionalism, passion for art, the A to Z explanations of the entire process and the transformation thus far. You will not be disappointed if you can get in with shadow! He is in such high demand that it is hella hard to get in with him so if you can set an appointment.... DO IT!!! I saw 3 of the other artists while I was in there for 10 hours getting my tattoo and I was REALLY impressed with all of them. One of the guys did a realistic portrait, another did a full back piece of angel wings and the lady artist did an epic body piece that flowed really well with the girls body. GO check them out!
Fantastic experience: I recently had a tattoo done by Shadow and I was more than pleased with the experience. From the carefully planned design, to the tattoo process and aftercare instructions, everything was excellent. Shadow was very thorough, detail-oriented, and professional. The tattoo shop itself was very clean, friendly, and welcoming to their guests. I highly recommend giving them a visit!
Fantastic experience: So I had Sean do a tattoo of mine that was just a touch up and decided to revamp it and make it look brand new ! It made me feel good knowing I had a masterpiece on my arm I fell in love . He is a very professional artists and I’m so glad I met him personally . Go to him for all your tattoo needs ☺️
Fantastic experience: The shop is a beautiful shop! Super clean, super understanding, and super helpful! Shadow does a wonderful job of creating beautiful art and tattoos! The amount of care that goes into the shop, the art, and the craft is unmatchable!! You are in good hands whenever you walk in the door! You will leave happier and more complete
Fantastic experience: If I could give Shadow 100 stars I would! I’ll definitely never let anybody else tattoo me.. his work is amazing and I promise you won’t regret it!!! #inkfamforlife
Fantastic experience: The owner is one of the most skilled artists I’ve met, a true master of his craft. Their whole staff is friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for expert quality tattoos and piercings!
Fantastic experience: One of the most professional shops I've ever been to. I appreciate that you can be private in your own room and no one can see in, if you want it that way. Great from the seating area to bathroom lol. Plus, it has Zak (DK), the best around, periodt. Thanks for the awesome experience guys!
Fantastic experience: Yoni (the piercer) is amazing! She was so kind and let our session go at my pace. Definitely coming back and will definitely recommend her to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Just got a tattoo coverup done by Sean. I love how clean the shop is, the environment is so friendly and calming. Not only are there good artists there but they care about the community and giving back. They are having a toys for tats drive, where you bring in art supplies and get money off your tattoo. I love how they want to give to children that won't be getting Christmas. It's nice that they are encouraging children not to give up on their dreams, even if they aren't in a traditional place for Christmas. That speaks volumes to me on what kind of people work and run this tattoo shop. They are breaking down tattoo shop stereotypes everyday, and I'll never go anywhere else for a tattoo now. This shop is like family now.
We appreciate you so much Lisa! Thank you for the trust
Fantastic experience: Sean was amazing. I had sent him some references to what I wanted my piece to be and the story with it. He was able to capture all that I wanted. Super professional and the rest of the staff was just as awesome. I love what they do for the area kids as well.
We appreciate that . Sean has such a big heart and definitely cares about your vision for the tattoo more than a lot of tattoo artists. Ty for giving our shop a shot. - Shadowink
Fantastic experience: Sean is FANTASTIC! I asked for a tattoo to memorialize my dog, I thought his paw print or silhouette. But Sean made a custom design that blew my mind. I am moved by how much care and passion he put into the design. The detail he was able to work into my little dogs face is stunning. I had a great evening conversing with him while he worked on my tattoo, it turns out we have a lot in common and we both have a passion for art. I can not say enough good things about Sean, it was the best tattoo experience I have had. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Delaney is super awesome! She’s done several of my tats and tonight I got my mom to get this beautiful peacock feather done by her. Go see Delaney at InkFam!
We love Delaney! We’re glad you followed her to our shop. She is quickly becoming one of the fam. Ty for everything! - Shadowink
Fantastic experience: I just got my first InkFam piece last night. I don't even know where to begin to describe my experience. My entire experience has been beyond awesome! From the very first time I presented Sean with my idea, he took it and ran with it! He is a true artist who definitely loves what he does! I knew the second I met him that he was the right one! Sean is very professional and talented, as well as extremely helpful and caring. He was very clear on after care instructions to ensure my piece heals properly. It's obvious he takes pride in his work & his work is above incredible! The shop is very clean, and everyone there is extremely friendly & professional. They all made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I just can't say enough about InkFam and everyone there! I would recommend InkFam to anyone! (And definitely will!) Everyone there is an incredible talent! You won't be disappointed! A very big "Thank you" to Sean for making my piece even better than anything I could've imagined! It is completely Perfect!
