Iron Lotus / Cedar Rapids / Iowa City Tattoo: Opiniones
Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience here, I walked in without an appointment just wanted a few tattoos done, I had Lenny and they were amazing I was a little scared and they kept the mood up which helped a lot they also helped me pick out a design that would look best and Positioned all of them very well. I would definitely recommend Lenny!! Thank you Lenny!!
Experiencia fantástica: I got a Flash at Iron Lotus in November from Jesse if the Flamel symbol from the Anime Full Metal Alchemist. He did such a great job I knew I had to get another from him for my 4th tattoo. While looking through his book and FB his work on reds/yellows/golds and honestly making tattoos look like they glow. I knew I had to reach out to him for a tattoo based on a favorite video game, Journey! Every other artist is extremely talented too. I enjoy seeing their work on FB and Instagram. Can't wait to get more tatts there with diff artists! They are a safe, open and affirming place for LGBTQ+ which I greatly appreciate :)
Experiencia positiva: Went in to ask about walk ins and the first lady to greet us was great energy and super sweet exactly what you would expect/want from a tattoo parlor! But when the second lady came up and asked about our tattoos the lady who talked to us didnt listen to what i personally wanted and told me there was too much for my tattoo and i needed an appointment- (i only wanted lineart and flat color) and when it came to a backup i wanted something the size of my palm and she told me i needed to go bigger… i didnt want to go bigger- her tone was flat and kinda extremely rude when telling us about what would happen if i got tatted with numbing cream saying “if your tattoo heals like shit thats on you”. Im aware of possible adverse reactions to some numbing creams and I don't appreciate the way she came off and i don’t feel comfortable being tattooed here due to that negative energy.
Experiencia fantástica: I just had the pleasure of meeting Gish. She was the most knowledgeable piercer / tattoo artist I had ever met. Thank you Gish. She taught me and explained a lot to me in depth and the vibe was genuine and she made me feel at home.
Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I have been coming to iron lotus for years! Everyone is phenomenal! I’ve been tattooed by Jeremiah, Kristin and Trent, gotten to know them so well during our long sessions. I’ve lived around the world, but they’re unmatched. They’re great people, always make sure you’re comfortable, they’re clean/sanitary, and really just have extensive talent. I’ve never felt like they’ve been unfair in their pricing-but remember, you pay for the quality! Their work has held up great over the years. I always get compliments on my sleeves and wedding band tattoo especially. They certainly know how to saturate color!
Experiencia fantástica: Kristen is one of the best tatto artists I’ve ever had! She took my ideas and what I wanted and made a masterpiece
Experiencia fantástica: For anyone that sits hours while getting tattoos, it is a MUST to have an environment that you enjoy and want to come back to. Iron Lotus has accomplished this to a T. The artists and clients had always been joyful to converse with and make the time fly by. Their monthly flash sheets are a fun bucket list item, the custom designs are thought through and executed, and throwing in a piercing every once in a while is always fun. Shout out to my cat lady, Morgan!
Experiencia fantástica: Iron lotus is the tattoo shop I keep coming back to! Morgan H does a wonderful job and I’ve gone to her multiple times. One time I ended up not feeling good when getting work done and starting being sick and passing out. Morgan and the team were quick to respond to my health concerns, helped me come out of it and quickly aided me with a sugar tablet. Proceeded to help me then after some time asked if I wanted to continue or not. I’ve had worst experiences getting my blood drawn at the dr office and feeling faint, Iron Lotus team did a wonderful job! Not to mention I’ve been happy with every tattoo I’ve gotten so far.
Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I both have multiple tattoos from IL and couldn't be happier with how they turned out and are holding color! We had Lobsters done May of 2024 and i just had someone ask me the other day if it was fresh because it is so bright! Feeling the itch for some new ink... Iron Lotus is the place to go!!
Experiencia fantástica: This place is just the best!! I travel over 12 hours at least twice a year for my ink therapy and there are no better therapists!! Everyone in the shop is great and friendly. Jeremiah does kick ass tattoos and I have all types and he knocked them all out of the park. I have been to many different tattoo shops but have never been to one so clean and friendly. I will be back again, again, and again!
Experiencia fantástica: I have always had my tattoos done here. Always 100 percent satisfied. Their pricing is affordable.
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten 8 (?) tattoos from Kristin. Always does amazing work. Everyone here is also so friendly and easy to talk to! There are many reason I keep coming back!
Experiencia fantástica: One of the top places to get tattooed in the cr area. Clean, prices aren't bad and the staff is cool. A place that is a must to check out if you are looking to get a tattoo.
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely fantastic work and incredible artists , Trent and Kristen are amazing and have been my “Go To” for tattoos for years
Experiencia fantástica: Kristin is absolutely top of the line. She’s a killer at her craft, and she is such an awesome human to talk to while getting tattooed. I traveled to see her and will travel again every time if needed I haven’t been tattooed by Trent but was able to interact with him at the shop, he is SO KIND and a phenomenal artist as well.
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been to The Iron Lotus and was beyond impressed, beautiful atmosphere, everyone is kind and respectful and very professional, not to mention the beautiful, fantastic work they do, so much of it is just breathtaking! I was so impressed with the cleanliness! I’m a seamstress by profession and love to create with fabric but what they create at The Iron Lotus is mind boggling! I recommend it to anyone I know who is interested in getting a tattoo! I know working with the public you are going to get some negative feedback, but you can’t please everyone, all you can do is try, and believe me they do their best at the Iron Lotus! Give them a try, I can guarantee you’ll want to go back for more!!!
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve received multiple tattoos and piercings from here and I love my experience each time I make an appointment! From having conversations with the people at the desk and inquiring who’s the best artists to complete my tattoos! They have the best customer service and hospitality in the industry within Iowa! I recommend going here 10/10
Experiencia fantástica: I always go to Gish for my piercings. Every time I go there, it's very clean and people seem to be having a wonderful time. Good environment, great service, and wonderful people. I highly recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: I've gotten multiple piercings and tattoos here over the last 10 years. This place is full of great people and I've seen the time & energy they put into their craft. I highly recommend this tattoo shop!
Experiencia fantástica: I have gotten several tattoos at Iron Lotus from Morgan & Trent. This place is one of the most professional places with the most talented artists!! I’ve referred several of my friends there and they keep going back!! It’s a very relaxing vibe there, Everyone there is so friendly & personable . VERY sanitary and the artists work their ass off to give you the best work they possibly can! They listen to your ideas, and work diligently to give you the tattoo you want and the best experience possible! I recommend Iron Lotus to anyone! You won’t be disappointed! Best shop in Cesar Rapids!!
Experiencia fantástica: Morgan did a fantastic job with my tattoo. It was a copy of a note my dad left me, from before he passed. She got every squiggle, curve and slant of his writing exact. She worked with me on size and placement so it fit well in a place I could see everyday. HIGHLY recommend her! My husband and I are returning for more in July!
Experiencia fantástica: I was able to get an appointment quickly and my artist (Kristin) did a fantastic job designing and tattooing. I got lettering, a simple design, and a very detailed one (3 in total) and they are all exactly what I was hoping for! The process went smoothly and she helped me decide on sizing and placement. The shop is comfortable and clearly sanitary. I’ve gone for their flash tattoos too. I was told the 3 that I got were also designed by Kristin, but I was tattooed by another artist. That experience was great too! I’m planning on coming back again soon for more! Highly recommended this place. They all do fantastic work.
Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely would recommend Iron Lotus for tattoos and piercings. I did 3 sessions with Trent doing a cover up on my back...best art work ever, I've even had other tattoo artists ask who did it. I didn't mind waiting 6 months as I knew great artists are busy and hard to come by. I brought my daughter in to get her nose pierced and it was also a great walk in process.
Experiencia fantástica: I had an incredible experience at Iron Lotus! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed, and the staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. I came in with just a rough sketch of a tattoo idea, and Morgan completely exceeded my expectations. She took the time to really understand what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and turned my vague concept into a beautiful, refined design that I absolutely love. Her talent, patience, and attention to detail made the entire process feel collaborative and exciting. If you’re looking for a tattoo shop with skilled artists and a warm, supportive vibe, I can’t recommend this place enough. Huge thanks to Morgan and the whole team for making it such a positive and memorable experience!
Experiencia fantástica: I've been coming here for a few years now for tattoos and piercings and have always had an incredible experience :)
Experiencia fantástica: I had a tattoo done by Kristin recently and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The artwork turned out exactly how I wanted it, the staff and environment was friendly and welcoming, and the pricing is fair. I plan on going back!
Experiencia fantástica: iron lotus is the ONLY shop i trust for tattoos/piercings! Morgan recently did a memorial tattoo for my kitty who passed away, she captured her colors beautifully. its clear that Morgan and every other artist at iron lotus value their customers thoughts and opinions.
Experiencia fantástica: I have gone to Kristin for a few years now and she has always done amazing work! I’ve gotten a few by her and will always recommend her to friends and family!!
Experiencia fantástica: Yeeeeaah, this place is pretty cool. The people are amazing (special shout out to Angel) and I always joke that I basically live there because they’re just so good I keep comin back for more. They’ve never been anything but super dope. Highly recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten literally all of my tattoos from this shop and all of them have turned out better than what I went in asking for! Super kind staff and artists. Pricing is always super reasonable per piece. The vibes are immaculate and the movies they put on are always fire. I recommend this to literally anyone looking for a tattoo, and often get asked what shop does my tattoos. I always reply proudly with my whole chest ‘IRON LOTUS BABYYYYY’ if you don’t believe me go take a look for yourself friend
Experiencia fantástica: Iron Lotus has been my go-to tattoo studio for years, and I can’t say enough good things about it. The atmosphere is always welcoming, the studio is spotless, and the entire staff is friendly and professional. I’ve had several pieces done recently by Kristin Parlier, and she has been absolutely incredible. She’s not only a talented and creative artist but also incredibly kind, patient, and committed to making sure you love the art you're receiving. She’s open to ideas, easy to talk to, and creates such a relaxed, positive experience. Booking with her is always simple and stress-free. I’ve also received piercings from Gish, who was just as kind and professional. And most recently, my 9-year-old son had his ear pierced by Lenny, who was amazing. Both Gish and Lenny were gentle and patient, explaining the procedure to help my son feel calm and confident. Because of the way they talked him through everything, he’s been proud to take his aftercare seriously—which says a lot! We’ll continue to visit Iron Lotus for all of our tattoo and piercing needs. It's a place we genuinely trust and love. Highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: As a tattoo artist in the area, I had the pleasure of working with the entire Iron Lotus crew for four months while building out my own shop. Jeremiah was kind enough to offer me a spot during a challenging transitional period, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity. To say I learned a lot from the artists there would be an understatement. Iron Lotus operates with a clear system that prioritizes both safety and open communication, creating an environment where everyone feels respected and supported. Artistically, they are highly focused and committed to quality—ensuring every design is thoughtfully prepared, each stencil is precisely placed, and every tattoo is executed efficiently and professionally. Their pricing is fair, and one of the most impressive aspects of their studio is their attention to sanitation. The way they set up and break down their stations demonstrates a strong commitment to preventing cross-contamination. I’ve even adopted some of their best practices in my own studio. I would confidently recommend Iron Lotus to anyone considering getting a tattoo. Their professionalism, artistry, and dedication to a clean, welcoming environment truly set them apart.
Experiencia fantástica: I got a conch piercing done and all the staff were warm and inviting. The piercer was very kind and it was done quickly and healed very nicely!
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten a few tattoos from different artists and all of them are amazing and still look good! Definitely coming back to get some more!
Experiencia fantástica: Kristin has done two tattoos for me and both were a great experience. She listened to what I wanted and had a drawing ready to go when I showed up for my appointment. I was very happy with her work. She has a very positive/ professional/ friendly attitude, you can tell she loves what she is doing and has put a lot of work into perfecting her craft. She is very easy to work with and can work with any budget/ schedule. Everyone I have interacted with at the shop has been very friendly and it has a good vibe. Some places can be overstimulating but Iron Lotus is not one of them.
Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is always welcoming and makes every interaction a great experience! I love Lenny’s style and am currently getting some work done by them that I am more than impressed with! I have spent full days at the shop and have seen the other artists work which are all just as amazing as Lenny’s. I highly recommend them to any and everyone!
Experiencia fantástica: I got my septum done. They were so nice. It was a really enjoyable experience. I also had a friend with me that ended up backing out or getting pierced and they were so sweet to them.
Experiencia fantástica: The best place I’ve been to, someone always answers my questions as needed. I don’t have to wait to get what I need done, love the art work. Plus it’s the only place I will go because I trust them, an they have done most my tattoos. ❤️❤️❤️
Experiencia fantástica: Been going to them for years now and always will they have the best artist in my opinion and and always a great atmosphere always positive and give there clients respect and kindness and always go above and beyond for there clients
Experiencia fantástica: I got a tattoo from Lenny and I'm really happy with how it turned out. The piece is very vibrant, and they gave some good tips and tricks to keep the tattoo looking bright for many years to come. It's also fun to hang out there, as the employees are a joy to talk to.
Experiencia fantástica: I would recommend Iron Lotus to anyone even “semi-local” to get a piercing or tattoo! I have not personally gotten a tattoo here, but I have seen several artists hard at work with happy clients every time I have been here! I first came to Iron Lotus per the recommendation of a friend for a piercing. I was extremely nervous but Cat took the time to answer all of my questions and make sure that I was totally comfortable before going any further with the piercing. Unfortunately, I sometimes have a very delayed reaction to piercings, tattoos, shots, etc and almost pass out. I have been rushed out of other shops before and it almost caused serious problems, so I am always nervous and anxious about telling artists this, even though I typically just need a few extra minutes to sit before leaving to make sure my blood sugars are good. Literally EVERYONE in the shop assured me it was no big deal and even offered to get me a drink or snack if I needed it. I had several questions during the healing process and every single question I had was answered in a polite, respectful and informative manner that didn’t belittle me or make me feel dumb for asking questions. Overall, my experience was so great that I have made the 1 hour drive several times for a few more piercings and recommend it to anyone who asks. TLDR: Iron Lotus is GREAT. Professional, respectful, informative, knowledgeable, very caring and their clients safety and well being always seem to be #1 on their list. 1000000/10 do recommend
Experiencia fantástica: Iron lotus! What can I say? This place is on point. The atmosphere is chill mellow! Every one I’ve ever came in contact with has been sooooo nice and professional! I have gotten all my piercings there, ,and really love Gish . Who’s done all my piercings. I have to say I absolutely love my tattoo artist Angel Gonzalez. Over all I give this place 5 stars !!!
Experiencia fantástica: So thankful for Kristin at the shop! She is an amazing artist and I am so happy with my tattoo she gave me! I can’t wait to go back for more! Everyone who works in this shop is just an amazing and talented artist.
Experiencia fantástica: One of the best shops I’ve ever been to and I keep coming back! All the artists are AMAZING but Kristin is my personal favorite. She’s done so much of my work and I feel privileged to be one of her clients. I recommend her to anyone especially if you love spooky tattoos and collaborating with an artist. The entire shop feels so comfortable and I can’t recommend getting a service here enough.
Experiencia fantástica: I got tattooed by Lenny two years ago and it was an amazing experience! Shop was very friendly and extremely sanitary. I got the tattoo of the doggy to commemorate my childhood dog who had sadly passed away. Lenny was easy to talk to and it was such a positive experience. I’m planning on coming back!
Experiencia fantástica: I have gotten 4 tattoos from Iron Lotus and absolutely adore each one. Everyone working there seems kind and professional. I highly recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: I got my first tat here; the artists are patient and take the time to make sure you get exactly what you want. IF anyone actually caused enough chaos to get kicked out, believe me, they truly deserved to be kicked out! Some kids needs to realize boundaries and respect the workplace of others. Jeremiah is honest, hard working and reasonable. He and the others at Iron Lotus are definitely artists! They do amazing work!
Experiencia fantástica: I have worked with Kristin to create my full sleeve and full back pieces. 10/10 experience. She took the ideas that I wanted to incorporate and created works of art for my skin.
Experiencia fantástica: I have had nothing but amazingly positive experiences with Iron Lotus. Iron Lotus as a whole: When you walk in, it smells like a sterile doctor's office, as it should. If a shop doesn't smell clean, then turn around and leave. The counter staff is delightful, and helpful. If you have an appointment (which I have always had), they'll direct you to fill out an online consent form, then you'll get to your artist. The space has TV's to keep you entertained while you're there. The chair/table you'll sit in to receive your tattoo are pretty comfortable, I've almost fallen asleep on it while getting worked on. My artist: Kristian Parlier is AMAZING. I went to her after a fiend of mine went to Kristian to coverup/modify a very poorly done rib tattoo. The original work way very painful for my friend, and I could tell it was extremely heavy handed. My friend raved about how Kristian had a light touch and was no longer to go back to tattoo artists. So, I started following Kristian on Instagram (@nox.luxtattoo) and waited for her to have some time she was looking to book. My first tattoo with her was my Raid the Arcade cassette tape. I couldn't believe how light her touch is, and how amazing my experience with her was. I am rather heavily tattooed, and she's in my top 3 artists to work with. I've added photos of my tattoos, as they were fresh. The Tape healed amazingly. The Notes in the other one needed to be touched up a bit, because of their nature, and that was covered in the original pricing. All said, 10/10. I recommend Iron Lotus and Kristian to anyone who asks about my tattoos, most of which were done in other locations that I've lived or visited.
Experiencia fantástica: I got my first ever tattoo here in May, and I love it, I got it done by Jesse Davis, and he was amazing and talked me through it the whole time, even when I was crying because of my nerves acting up, I will definitely come back here for my next tattoos
Experiencia fantástica: Here you have lovely people who genuinely care about their craft, I got my tattoo about a year and a half ago and it still looks as amazing as when I got it. I tell anyone who asks me about it or is talking about getting a tattoo to go to the Iron Lotus. The first photo was the day of and the second is now. I have full intentions of getting more work done when I can as afford to do so. 10/10 would recommend. Since I originally wrote that review in 2020 I have definitely gone back and I love all the work I've gotten done there both with my piercings and tattoos. I've gotten a cover-up that's turning into a sleeve and I added a flash tattoo above my rose memorial piece. I've added some more photos to this review and I would still highly recommend 10/10. Can't wait to be able to go back again
Experiencia fantástica: Kristen, and everyone else at Iron Lotus, do extraordinary work! This is coming from a real person who has had nothing but great experiences. Highly recommend!!
Experiencia fantástica: Awesome artists, chill vibes! Anyone you go to here is gunna give you a great tattoo and good experience. Always reccommend this place ❤️ oh and we love Gish I always laugh through my piercings
Experiencia fantástica: I've had both piercings and tattoos done at Iron Lotus, and when I say their work is exceptional, I mean it! All the artists here put so much time and effort into their designs and they are so kind and knowledgeable. With this kind of work you really do get what you pay for and their work is worth every dime. When you work with an artist you put so much trust into them, and these artists really listen to what you are wanting from the session all while keeping their work unique and one-of-a-kind. Iron Lotus is the best tattoo and piercing shop in Cedar Rapids.
Experiencia fantástica: Kristen and the staff/artists at Iron Lotus are amazing! I've always had the best customer service, experience, and amazing ink! I always go to Kristen and Iron Lotus for the best quality art!
Experiencia fantástica: Came to leave a positive review when I saw the negative AI reviews. Im a real person and ive had nothing but good experiences at Iron Lotus. They run a tight ship and do great work ✨️ easily my favorite shop in CR
Experiencia fantástica: I love this place and always recommend it. I've gotten multiple piercings here as well as a few tattoos. I have plans to be back soon ❤️
Experiencia fantástica: Jeremiah, Cat, and gang are some of the coolest down to earth peoples, I've worked with them since probably when 1st opened at lindale getting ideas for my 1st tattoo, Trent was the one who did my 1st two tattoos he was very respectful and calmed me down when I was nervous, Cat did my tongue piercing she was down to earth and talked to me to distract me, and my legend of Zelda tattoo is amazing, sorry I forgot you name, the place is very clean they showed me the equipment before and after opening they did a very thorough cleaning, my only complaint is that sometimes it gets to hot in there, but I love you guys
Experiencia fantástica: I went to Morgan for a cherub in the spring and she absolutely nailed it. I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience!! Everyone in the shop was welcoming and Morgan was so sweet and easy to chat with. I’m so glad I went and will definitely be back! Thank you, Morgan and Iron Lotus!!
Experiencia fantástica: I have been to Iron Lotus to get all 4 of my tattoos and they have always been friendly and professional. While I have used primarily one of their artists, whose work has been superb, I have other friends that have used different artists there and all of the tattoos they have received looked amazing.
Experiencia fantástica: I've gotten multiple tattoos done here and each time they have come out fantastic. I'm very happy with the service provided and I look forward to continue getting work done here!
Experiencia fantástica: Best experience getting a tattoo by far. The piece never hurt but more than that- it never even itched! Straight up magic, obviously healed like a dream too. Ask for Angel, he is maybe literally blessed by an otherworldly being. Also obligatory- facility and procedures are spotless, decor is super fun, and he even gave me advice on some old pieces that had been bugging me while I was in the chair. Trillion out of ten stars, have been recommending him (and Iron Lotus as a whole) to all my friends
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve Never been disappointed with the work that I’ve had done here! Jeremiah and his staff are nothing less than outstanding and professional! The shop is always very clean. I have been going back there for the last 17 years! Not for rework, but to add to my original tattoo from 17 yrs ago. And additional tats. So, goes to show you, I love their artistic work. I would not go back for 17 years if I didn’t!! Thank you Jeremiah Klein and the staff at Iron Lotus!
Experiencia fantástica: I am very impressed with Iron Lotus Tattoo and Body Piercing. The work stations are clean, the displayed artwork is amazing and I love the welcoming atmosphere. The staff make sure tattoos are adjusted and placed in ideal ways rather than rushing pieces. The artists are all very pleasant to work with. The artists all have reasonable prices for such amazing work. The piercers are nothing to shy away from as well. They are very knowledgeable. They really take the time to make placement perfect. Piercings are also done in the most comfortable way possible. You hardly feel the pinch! Not to mention the expansive selection of jewelry to choose from. Both provide clear after care instructions and are quick to help with any questions should they pop up. I will definitely be going back for future tattoos and piercings. I will always recommend Iron Lotus. I can't wait for my next appointment!
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten three tattoos from here, one from Angel, and two from Jessie. They both took their time and did great even though they were just flash tattoos ! Jessie’s line work is incredible and Angel was so patient with it being my first tattoo. I also got a vertical labret done here and I felt so comfortable and safe with her. She was super informative and kept making me laugh. I recommend iron lotus to everyone I know who wants a tattoo or piercing!
Experiencia fantástica: Have got 6 of my 8 tattoos here and have been nothing but pleased with my work. The artists are amazing to work with, along with my countless piercings that I have received at the shop. Nothing but amazing experiences going here. Will forever go to Iron Lotus for my piercings and tattoos.
Experiencia fantástica: I have 2 smaller finished tattoos from Iron Lotus, one from the owner Jeremiah during a suicide prevention charity event, and one of my Dads handwriting from Trent (looks exactly like my Dads handwriting). I love them both so much and they both have so much meaning to me. Because they did such a great on those I am in the process of getting my third tattoo from them, Trent is doing this one as well and it will take a few sessions to finish but I will say that after just the first session I am already in love with it and can’t wait to finish it out. Not only is their tattoo work amazing, their shop is clean, the employees are friendly and they listen to you to make sure you are getting exactly what you want. Would recommend them to anyone getting work done!
Experiencia fantástica: Kristin did both of my tattoos, very knowledgeable and easy to work with and did amazing work! Staff are all very kind and helpful with all of the services they offer. Highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: I have been Iron several times and everyone treats each other with professionalism and are very welcoming. I plan on returning to Iron Lotus to get more tattoos. Love the place
Experiencia fantástica: The negative reviews are AI generated from spam accounts. I've gotten tattoos by Jeremiah, Cat, and Morgan at Iron Lotus and have been happy with the entire experience every time. I have had negative tattoo experiences. This shop has NEVER been one of them.
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten multiple tattoos here from multiple artists. Jeremiah and Kat are amazing! My husband got a few tattoos done by Trent. Years later they still look phenomenal. Multiple friends have had their tattoos done here as well based on recommendations. Clean shop- efficient artists. Thank you Iron Lotus!
Experiencia fantástica: I got these 2 here done by kristin and a few more as well. amazing work, and amazing people as well!
Experiencia fantástica: Trent tieso was absolutely amazing to work with answered any questions or concerns I had during and after the healing and made my nerves none existent during the tattoo definitely going back
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve come in a few times and gotten a few flash pieces done by a couple of the artists in the shop and they all have been very kind even with me just getting a flash piece! I have also gotten a piece done from Morgan’s Valentine’s flash sheet a while ago and loved the experience with her! The staff is awesome and there are so many talented artists in the shop, it’s worth it to go and get something you love by a team that cares!
Experiencia fantástica: Have had multiple tattoos done by Kristin and Jeremiah. Love all the work that I’ve had done at the shop. Not a single issue anytime I’ve gone in.
Experiencia fantástica: I had a wonderful experience getting my first tattoo here. Great place for piercings, too (both mine and my 9yr old's).
Experiencia fantástica: My four year old (now five) had been asking for months to get her ears pierced. So for her fifth birthday we went to Lenny to get it done. Had a wonderful epierence! Lenny not only talked to me about the whole process and aftercare, but he also explained it well to my daughter in terms a five year old understood. Afterwards there were high-five, stickers, and suckers rewarded. Definitely highly recommend and will go back again. Side note: Iron Lotus was the 4th shop I had called about piercing a five year old ears who had been wanting them done and was the first one willing to do it. I'm so glad I found them unless I would have had a sad birthday girl on my hands.
Experiencia fantástica: One of my favorite places to come for tattoos, they always are friendly and make sure your needs are met when it comes to tattooing.
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had tattoos done by Lenny and Trent. They were both professional and attentive. They made sure I was happy with the design before they even touched the needle to skin. I always got a welcoming vibe from the entire staff.
Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing! All the staff are super friendly and super cool! Lenny and Angel are my GO TO artist! They do the most amazing job!! Can’t wait to go back for more tattoos!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Jeremiah is the ONLY person I trust to do my tattoos. (To be fair, I haven’t had anyone else at Iron Lotus do mine, but I’m sure they’re great if Jeremiah works with them!) Every time I go to the shop they are super friendly, do amazing work, and definitely reasonably priced!
Experiencia fantástica: I've been tattooed by Jeremiah and Kristen and couldnt be happier with the way each tattoo turned out. Kristen has been my tattoo artist for my last 4 tattoos and I will continue to go back to her. She is amazing!
Experiencia fantástica: Really good place for tattoos. There a wide variety of art styles each artist has their own unique style. Grate place to go for tattoos.
Experiencia fantástica: One of the best tattoo shops I've ever been to! I've gotten multiple tattoos here by a couple different artists and it's been an amazing experience every time, no matter who I was dealing with. Everyone is laid back and the atmosphere can't be beat. 100% recommend anyone here for tattoos or piercings.
Experiencia fantástica: Most of my tattoos have been done here. I've never had a bad experience. The shop is very clean, the artists are amazing, and I look forward to every time I come back for more. I truly couldn't say enough nice things about everyone who works here and the environment.
Experiencia fantástica: I got this tattooo back in March 2024 & I am still OBSESSED with it! Kristin does amazing work! I can’t wait to go back
Experiencia fantástica: Jeremiah has been doing my tats, including a large back piece, for years and is the only person I trust! My husband has also had several done by him and we have always been so pleased with his work. He is professional but is also super easy to talk to and very friendly. Iron Lotus is simply the best!
Experiencia fantástica: I have known Jeremiah for years and was finally able to have Cat do a cover up for me. I fell in love with her design instantly and cannot wait to go back!
Experiencia fantástica: My favorite tattoos I have were done by this shop! More specifically by Kristin; her work and ability to do both my water color and stipple shaded black tattoo is incredible. I’ve watched a couple artists do their work, specifically Trent. Mind blowing to watch an insane back piece get worked on while also being tattooed. I’d happily make my four and a half hour round trip to do it again!
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten three pieces done by Jeremiah, they are definitely the my pieces I have and he was wonderful with making my visions come to life. Especially the one in me best friends handwriting which he did a great job getting just like hers and letting me vent about how much it meant to me. The first one I got done by him was on a last minute crunch to meet an appointment from an artist that wasn’t able to do it anymore and immediately fell in love with his work and the shop. Such a personal experience and you can tell they truly care about every piece they do and every client they serve!
Experiencia fantástica: Iron Lotus is amazing! No bias here, but Morgan Hazer knows how to zap a sticker onto you! She quirky, confident, and makes sure you are relaxed the whole time. Her professional opinion and artistry keep me coming back—she could have my whole arm if she already didn’t have my whole heart! ♥️
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gotten all of my tattoos by Kristin and Jeremiah and I love them all. I’ve always had a positive experience here. Very welcoming and comfortable environment. These two were done recently by Jeremiah and I couldn’t be happier with them
Experiencia fantástica: I got my first tattoo at Iron lotus after my boyfriends mom had gotten a tribute tattoo for his dad, and let me say it was the best experience ever!! I came in nervous but Morgan quickly made me feel at home. They had movies playing and would constantly make sure I was okay and other artists would come over to see the tattoo and compliment it. She made sure all my questions were answered before I left and to reach out if anymore popped up. As soon as I left I was already thinking about my next tattoo, I would 100% recommend this place.
Experiencia fantástica: I have been getting tattooed by staff at Iron Lotus since Jeremiah opened it. From the first tattoo till the one I just got last week they all have been wonderful. Each artist I have gotten a tattoo from has listened to my idea, gave me suggestions on how to make the tattoo look the best, they are honest about what tattoo design will work where on your body and the reasons behind their suggestion.
Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I both got tattoos from Kristin Parlier. My husband got our son’s baby footprint and I got his side profile from an ultrasound photo, his birth flower, & name. Kristin did an absolutely wonderful job. Both the footprint and side profile look just like the original copies we showed her!!! Kristin was very friendly, kept the conversation fun, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. She also has responded to every message we’ve sent her asking about tattoos we want. We will most definitely be booking with her in the future!!! We love Iron Lotus and recommend them to all of our friends and family!
Experiencia fantástica: I got a beautiful white ink tattoo from Kat several years ago and and it's still my favorite tattoo. The staff was professional, and talented and I'd go back without a second thought.
Experiencia fantástica: Iron lotus did an amazing and professional job on an extremely personal tattoo. I will be back!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Great experience and very accompanying artist. Was my first tattoo and she was great during the whole process
Experiencia fantástica: Very welcoming to everyone! I have gone here for all of my tattoos and have never had a bad experience. Everyone that I have spoken to has been very kind and amazing to me!
Experiencia fantástica: Jesse Davis has done all my tattoos. He does an amazing job everyone in there is amazing such a welcoming atmosphere will forever go there for all my future tattoos. Every time I have gone in for a tattoo everyone has made a positive comment on my tattoos. Thank you all for being you and being amazing. Their pricing is the perfect price for what you ask for each of my tattoos range for 80-100 dollars and each penny is worth the amazing work they do❤️. Can’t wait to go back and finish my spine tattoo in the future!!
