Absolute Tattoo: Reviews
Positive experience: Pretty easy experience my son got snake bite piercing he seems happy with them
Fantastic experience: Tried to change dermal stone couldn't get it off but they never gave up
Fantastic experience: Everyone here is awesome! From the moment we came in, they were nothing short of kind and welcoming. My dad and I got piercings by Brittney and made experience extremely comfortable. We were given a thorough aftercare sheet after the service was done. She killed it! Even though I didn’t get any tattoos today, seeing the work that the artists have done made me excited to hopefully come back and get a cool piece done. Thank you guys :)
Fantastic experience: I recently went to Piercings By B, located inside Absolute Tattoos Kansas Ave location, for a new dermal piercing on my neck. As someone who has had this specific piercing eight times before—my "floating little necklace"—I came in with a lot of experience and specific expectations. I can confidently say that B not only met them but exceeded them. First off, B's flexible schedule made booking my appointment a breeze. It was easy to find a time that worked for me, which is a huge plus for anyone with a busy life. When I arrived, B's professionalism was immediately evident. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and took the time to discuss my history with this particular piercing, ensuring we were both on the same page. The procedure itself was as quick and efficient as my previous experiences, if not more so (historically, I've driven to Westport in KC to have dermals put in). B’s attention to detail and calm demeanor made the process smooth and reassuring. The final placement is perfect and looks fantastic. Knowing that dermal piercings can sometimes reject, I told B that I would definitely be returning to her in the future if this one needs to be redone. The level of comfort and trust she established is the main reason I’ll be back. For anyone looking for a professional piercer who offers affordable prices and a great experience, I highly recommend Piercings By B. Pic for reference below
Fantastic experience: Called and was able to get squeezed in the same day. It was more than a tattoo; awesome experience. Definitely will be back.
Fantastic experience: Got us in the same day (mind you for a simple tat) but Mary was incredible setting the appointment and Jen was so damn cool and talented. Def will be back and highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I've known Jake for over a decade & he is one solid brilliant artist, his work is Absolutely brrethe taking. I have to give a huge shout out to Jody she has put her twist on every tattoo she has put on me, I can always count on her creativity & attention to detail I get more compliments on the tattoos by Jodi Im already planning my next visit to her as we speak! Thank you to all the Staff at Absolute Tattoos, I'm definitely a customer for life! Michael Eliot
Fantastic experience: Jacob did a AWESOME job on my portrait tattoo. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Have had tattoos done at both locations! Staff are very friendly and professional, VERY clean. My friends & I have had multiple pieces done by Jodie, Jake, Randi, and Tayler. As far as I’m aware, none of us have needed to go in for any corrections although I know if I needed to, they would work with me! The hourly rates reflect their quality of work. I definitely recommend ABSOLUTE whenever someone asks where I got my work done!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get a tattoo. Jake is extremely knowledgeable and a phenomenal artist. A very cool atmosphere with friendly staff. Get your tattoos there and you definitely won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: The Best Jacob does an awesome job and is an awesome asset to the community and very respected.

Fantastic experience: I won't go anywhere else for my tattoos. Fanatic design skills and professionalism. Customer Service is top-notch!
Negative experience: Do not recommend wanted to check out the shop and tried to come in for a piercing and immediately after stepping in staff were rude and unprofessional told me my age was questionable and started barking orders to prove i had the right anatomy laughed saying even fine line wouldn't pierce me jokes on them I absolutely love the piercer at fine line but for a tattoo parlor they seemed very judgmental and I don't think they intended to peirce me the moment they started talking absolutely horrible experience
Fantastic experience: LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The piercer is one of a kind, very patient and talented, as the artists too! 100% recommend coming here!
Fantastic experience: Brittney is soo amazing, her personality, professionalism and just being around her makes me always want to go back to her!! She has done all my piercings. She will definitely tell you up front if she can or cannot do it. What she thinks. She makes every appointment a great time. I have no issues with it hurting she knows what she’s doing. I definitely will recommend her 1000% every day. ♥️♥️
Fantastic experience: Jacob the owner is an amazing artist. He did my very first tattoo. It took me 7 years to plan this tattoo out exactly how I wanted it. Jacob took my idea and ran with it. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and really did quality work. 100% will be coming back!
Fantastic experience: I got my lovely piercings there and I will be going back!!! She did what was in my best interest, told me the truth, and overall a very lovely person!
Fantastic experience: B is the best piercer in topeka!!! In this last year she has helped me completely transform my ears! She has the best eye for custom curations and designs. She is honest about anatomy and always has a backup plan if something doesn’t work out, she is always quick to respond if I ever have any issues with healing, always suggests ideas to assist in making healing painless and easy, and is always quick when ordering new jewelry for custom curations. All of her jewelry is high quality that makes healing a breeze. She also takes extra care to ensure that everything is super clean and sterilized, even with a simple jewelry change. I am healing some more new piercings but I cannot wait to finish off the ideas we have came up with and show off all of her amazing work!!! Don’t go to anyone else!!! Let B poke you!!! Painless, easy, and always a super fun environment!!! Everyone in the shop at both locations are super nice and a lot of fun to be around! You will leave happy every time and want to come back for more!
Fantastic experience: I go here and see B! She does all my piercing. She is very clean and professional. She works fast and explanes everything from the anatomy to the jewelry. ❤️
Negative experience: I went to the mall location with appt with a piercer She was Rude from the moment I walked in before saying a word to me she was making comments to her co worker about us. Then proceeded to insult me by making fun. Never have I experienced such immature behavior from another adult. Extremely unprofessional. I ended up going elsewhere thank God and had a great experience with someone else
Negative experience: Awful experience. Rude and unprofessional. I would tell anyone to AVOID this place in the mall.
Fantastic experience: I have got most of 1 sleeve done by Jacob he is one of the best in Topeka...
Fantastic experience: Piercer was amazing!! Love love love Piercing by B

Fantastic experience: Always a great place to get ink therapy. All very friendly and great work and attitudes
Negative experience: Horrible customer service. They don’t respond to emails or message’s they’ll just look at them and disregard them. The lady who answers the phones is very rude and aggressive with customers.
Negative experience: Was turned down for wanting the letters “ftp” when it’s an established world renowned company that’s been around since 2010. Idk, maybe educate yourselves first? Can’t imagine judging someone for the kind of tattoo they want since it’s their out of context opinion that matters most and not the client’s lol. What a joke. Enjoy the 1 star.
Fantastic experience: I got my nose pierced today and I absolutely love it! My appointment was at 3 and I was out within 10 minutes. Brittany was amazing at explaining the process and was quick! Love the choices of jewelry! Definitely will be going back!
Thank you♡
Fantastic experience: Staff is amazing and so talented. Absolutely must go see them for all your tattoo and piercing needs!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing got my tongue peirced and the lady was amazing
Fantastic experience: This is the best place and only place I will go for tattoos Jacob and his staff are by far the best and 100% professional!!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: I've gone to see Jodie 3 times now for my tattoos. She's extremely talented and personable! My husband and I got matching owl tattoos the first time we saw her. The second time she did a portrait of my cat that was also a cover up. And the third time was for their Friday the 13th special! It was extremely busy and the wait time was a bit long but was totally worth it for the quality! I have two appointments currently scheduled and will continue to return! I've also gone to see Brittany for nipple and a lip piercing! She's great as well and made me feel comfortable during the whole process! I've had a great experience every time I've been go the shop!
Fantastic experience: Attended a Friday the 13th event. Everything was super organized and the artists actually took their time with each client. I am very happy with the finished product as well as the whole experience
Fantastic experience: Very fast and friendly service and a great job on the artwork. Will definitely be going back for more pieces.
Fantastic experience: Jodie is awesome!!! Super sweet and relatable in a lot of ways! Had a great experience on one of there busiest days! Definitely have a regular customer!
Fantastic experience: Owner is amazing and all the staff is phenomenal. Of course the work is amazing to match.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and accommodating staff! Great energy!
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Everyone is super helpful, welcoming, and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Jacob is absolutely amazing! My first tattoo after I lost my eldest son. I had a portrait tattoo over my heart. Definitely the best choice for tattoo artist!
Fantastic experience: Great staff in a comfortable setting. I’ve had several tattoos done here and have been very pleased with the work. Tayler did an excellent job on my last one! I will be back for more soon.
Fantastic experience: Just got both my earlobes pierced by Piercings By B, who operates here. Great work! She explained the process and aftercare well, and made it a comfortable as possible. 10 out of 10, would recommend. Will be back.
Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Jacob took his time and I loved the way he was attentive to our needs. Absolutely beautiful and fun.
Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo yesterday! I wanted something which was in my native language(indian) and loved the designs Jodie created. I appreciate the time spent on creating the designs until I was satisfied and ready. It went effortless. Highly recommend this place and a special shoutout to Jodie.
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I got our nose pierced here. The staff was very relaxed and good vibes while knowing their stuff. The piercings went well. Quick, easy, and not much pain. It was easy and convenient to schedule the appointment online. I would highly recommend.
Thank you :)
Negative experience: I called to set up an appointment and get pricing for a piercing but when they told me the price I was politely trying to turn them down and thank them for their time when I was very rudely hung up on by the girl who answered the phone. The overpricing I can look past, but to be so rude as to hang up on a potential customer? I will never use this business because of the impolite customer service alone.
Fantastic experience: I went in for my first tattoo and it was amazing thank you Jacob and everyone at absolute tattoo i recommend lt to anyone who wants a tattoo they’re the best
Fantastic experience: Wow. Jacob does amazing work. Top notch and beautiful. Thanks absolute tattoo. We will always be back....can't speak highly enough about Absolute.
Fantastic experience: Absolute Tattoo is a superb tattoo shop. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. All of my tattoos there have been done by Jacob but they all do amazing tattoos. Jacob's work is mind-blowingly good and I couldn't ask for anything better. Def recommend!!! I won't go anywhere else.
Thank you ♡
Negative experience: It’s a crying shame that a place with so much talent and respect here in Topeka treated me so POORLY….I would go allll into my experience but we all know it won’t change much, HOWEVER just know not EVERYONE gets that same “Absolute Treatment” if you get what I mean.
Fantastic experience: I got both of my nose piercings here with Brittany and she was super nice and amazing! Definitely am planning to get a tattoo here also.
Fantastic experience: Awesome artist friendly atmosphere more than satisfied with them
Fantastic experience: Thursday was the 3rd time I had Brittany do a piercing for me. There's a reason too, she's amazing! Professional, personable and remembered me even though it was almost a year since my last. I won't go anywhere else in Topeka for piercing.
Fantastic experience: It was amazing my daughter got her nose pierced and I got my tounge pierced and we didn’t feel anything, we recommend anyone to go here.
Thank you :)
Fantastic experience: Nothing but exceptional work. I'll wait months to see Steven Rudd!!
Fantastic experience: Taylor was fabulous! She was very easy to work with and very creative...worked well with a newbie!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was super friendly. I was kinda nervous but Brittany was just so comforting..... Thanks and I'll definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: Intelligent, experienced, professional. Great staff cool environment. Tattoos and piercings.
Fantastic experience: This is the second Tattoo I've gotten from Jodie. I have never been happier with a tattoo. She is so talented and detail oriented. It is absolutely stunning. I now have a new favorite artist and I get to keep her work on my body. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Wife got a piercing. Staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She won't go to a different shop again.
Thank you so much♡
Fantastic experience: Had my lip pierced here. Positive experience. Recommended.
Negative experience: Artists are skilled but service is terrible, attempting to request some examples of an artists work will not be honored, attempting to get a quote is unlikely, attempting to get a concept design is a definite no with them literally saying “our artists will only do a rough sketch on an iPad the night before or day of before beginning the tattoo, for $150/hour rounded up”. Attempting to book an appointment requires 4-5 months of waiting. Either the person manning the email and phone are just extremely unprofessional or they simply lack any concept of courtesy and don’t care. While I’ve seen good work from others in the community, I would never get a tattoo from this place, their service is just that atrocious. And while the price of $150/h is fair, I expect to receive a simple concept design and proper customer service.
Fantastic experience: Jacob is the best tattoo artist around! The shop is clean and staff are amazing and helpful! Jacob goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and happy with the design. I’ve gotten tattoos regrettably at other shops and during the tattoo it was extremely uncomfortable and hurt. I have had my biggest tattoos done by Jacob and they look the best, and he is so gentle I could actually fall asleep it is so relaxing. Highly recommend, I won’t be going anywhere else ever again!
Fantastic experience: Did a jewelry change and she was very friendly and efficient the whole time. Even gave me some new information my previous piercer hadn't told me!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing staff and the best line work and general art for tattoos. I would definitely recommend getting a tat here if you plan on getting one. I drive 600 miles for this place, that should say something to you.
Thank you:)
Fantastic experience: Brittany is the BEST for ALL piercing needs! She has done some of mine and the placement is perfect! She’s VERY CLEAN and very nice! Thank you again! See you when I’m back in town for who knows what next!
Thank you for the awesome review:)
Fantastic experience: Jake is the best artist around. I got a half sleeve from him and he touched up my other one making it 100x better. He took an idea that I had and turned it into a wicked cool tat. His shading and realism is hard to beat. Very easy to work with.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. Super nice people. Couldn't be happier!
Fantastic experience: Brittany was absolutely amazing, got my first piercing today. She was so relaxed and was so kind it really put me at ease. I can’t imagine a better experience. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! ♡
Fantastic experience: Great work. Easy appointments. Sanitary and professional
Fantastic experience: Absolute Tattoo has the most talented artists! Jake did an incredible Military piece on my husbeast. Jodie has been working on a massive back piece/coverup on myself.
Fantastic experience: We had called several places trying to find someone to pierce my daughter’s ear (ear cartilage). Everyone would tell us, they have to be 13 or 14 with parent consent. My daughter will be 13 in just a couple months, but you know when you want something done, you don’t want to wait months for it to happen. We drive to Absolute Tattoo. We walked in the door, they were so friendly and professional. We talked about things and they told us to be back in 2 hours. We went back. The girl that did the piercing was awesome!! Super gentle, explained everything, clean, and she made my daughters weekend! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for the review♡ you guys were awesome to meet♡
Negative experience: Yeah been trying to get a cover-up tatt did the online consultation and sent them several photos and no response or reply. So I'll obviously be finding a different tattoo shop, not pleased with them at all, guess they don't want return business. Yeah they post that but leave out all the messages I replied back after I called and was told they had no messages from me. Whatever guess all my money will find another tattoo shop
Sept 5th 9:55 pm : James Reeves: Would like to get a cover-up tattoo of my last name Reeves, in a cool type of font
Sept 5th 10:11 pm : ABSOLUTE TATTOO :what needs covered?
Sept 5th 10:12 pm: James Reeves: That GAUGE (pic was sent above)
Sept 5th 10:14 PM : ABSOLUTE TATTOO: ah ic. okie , that is a jacob project ,he is booking into 2021, and cover up rates are 160 per hour. you would need to call when the shop is open to leave a deposit of at least 250 to get in the book. that deposit comes off your total in the end
Sept 5th 10:15 pm: James Reeves: Ok you guys are back open Tuesday at 11 or 12 right
Sept 5th 10:15 pm: ABSOLUTE TATTOO : 12
Sept 5th 10:16 PM: James Reeves: Ok thanks will call back then
That is our following message regarding this review. We answered all questions very promptly during non business hours. It left off with him to call and make the first step of leaving a deposit which is a policy to make an appointment. This review does not show a true reflection of how this encounter happened. We strive to give everyone a great experience from beginning to end.
Fantastic experience: Great business, very responsive. The artist took my crazy ideas and created an awesome Harry Potter sleeve. True artist great value. All of the staff are super friendly and helpful
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place ! Got my nose pierced there and Brittany is amazing!
Thank you ♡
Fantastic experience: I got my daughters footprint done by Jake and he did a phenomenal job along with a couple touch ups, they care about their clients highly recommend
Positive experience: Great place. Beautiful work. Teen daughter got piercing. Easy.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Never disappointed! Love absolute they have done several of my tats. Jodie just did my recent one and she did an amazing job
Fantastic experience: It didn’t take very long to fill out paper work and to get back to the piercing area. Everyone was really friendly and nice. The piercing process was fast easy and smooth. I would totally go back there again for another piercing.
Thank you so much
Positive experience: Absolute Tattoo provided great customer service, a chill atmosphere, and efficient service. The pricing of my service however (cartilage piercing) seemed overpriced in my opinion.
Fantastic experience: Jake did a great job on a lion/peacock feather piece that I have been waiting to get done for a few years. I gave him a few ideas of what I was wanting and he created something beautiful that has the sentimental value that I needed from the tattoo. This will be the only place I go to in the future. His attention to detail is on point and he takes pride in the quality of his work. Good vibes in his shop also from all the staff. Professional and down to earth combined. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience! Only place I trust with my tattoos!
thank you :)
Fantastic experience: Great piercings by Kim and excellent care instructions.
Fantastic experience: Loved the tattoo Jake did for me. I told him what I wanted and he gave me a unique and beautiful tattoo down my spine. It is my favorite one and I have another one scheduled with him in May. Can’t wait!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place!! The lady that helped me was very sweet and easily relatable. Definitely going to go here again!!
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have had all but five of my twenty-four tattoos done by Jodie at Absolute, including my first. I have also gotten a lip piercing from Miss Brittany. Dope people, insanely stellar artwork, and a killer atmosphere. Would Recommend Absolute to anybody and everybody for all body piercing and tattoo desires.
Fantastic experience: Been here for piercings. They make sure you're happy with placement, they explain the process, they're clean and they explain the aftercare very well; they also give you sea salt. Also, if you have a problem with something they'll take care of you! I went to another place in Topeka and the lady was very cold and she explained nothing!
Thank you <3 B
