This awesome shop conveniently located in downtown Fort Lauderdale is a great place to get some quality work. No matter which artist you choose from their sick team, you'll be sure to get the exact piece you desire. They're a color-oriented shop but I've seen some great black & grey pumped out of here. They take walk-ins but doing your research to see which artist suits your style is always recommended. It's a very welcoming place & doesn't have a high strung environment like you get at some other shops. There's sick flash art any where you look which is always nice to see. They even have a "bone roller" get-what-you-get table in the front if you're up for that. I've got a good bit of work from Mitch & he's done a killer job every time. I'm a big fan of this shop, I highly recommend checking it out. read more

I'd been following Katie on Instagram for some time and had been trying to think of something fun that suited her style. With the Panthers' Stanley Cup win it felt the right time to pull the trigger, and had a great experience. Bad Fellow is a great shop with plenty to look at while being tattooed, and everyone is chatty and personable. Katie's idea for my tattoo was exactly what I was hoping for - something a bit out of the box and unique, and I was thrilled with it. It's now about 2 months later, and the healing process went great and I couldn't be happier. read more

Bobby is awesome!! Shop is clean and has great vibes! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Katie provided an absolutely amazing "roll the bones" experience. Very friendly, and easy going. The care package at the end with cleaning supplies and stickers was an awesome touch I've never seen before. She also is the most gentle tattoo artist I've ever had tattoo me. Me and my buddy both got smallish flash tattoos and were both in and out in two hours, both tattooed by her. The shop is also cool as hell. The art is all amazing. Lots of pop culture meets tattoo pieces to look at. They were playing movies also which was a nice touch while getting tattooed and taking mind of the pain. 5 greasy stars for sure. read more

I've been going to Badfellow tattoo for the last few years and I highly recommend to all family and friends as the best tattoo shop in Florida (maybe that I've ever been too). The artists are excellent. They've been able to help get my ideas on paper to depict exactly what I had in mind. I've gotten my tattoos done by the owner, Bobby, who is professional, friendly and extremely talented. I've gotten so many compliments on the color and sharp lines. Not only are all the artists super cool, but the shop itself is great! The art work and creativity gone behind the shop is insane. There are also video games and TVs for guests to entertain themselves if waiting. Again, I recommend this shop to everyone. I've never been so satisfied with a tattoo experience! read more

Got a small finger doodle from Katie. Great person to work with and fun shop. Super friendly vibe with zero tattitude. Also, the music was on point. Putting Ghost on after mutual professed love was great! read more

I had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Tyler. My cousins and I went there with an idea of what we wanted and he was able to bring to fruition exactly what we had envisioned. He was extremely professional and patient with us. The shop was very clean and also gave us a goody bag of items to take home with us. I highly recommend this tattoo shop. read more

I came here because my go to tattoo artist, Leif, is currently working here. I've been going to him for years and he's always gone above and beyond for all of his customers. This was my first time here and I loved the experience. Everyone that works there is incredibly nice and always make sure you're alright. On top of that the entire place is impeccably clean. Not to mention there are several retro games to play while you wait. Leif and I played some competitive Tetris after he set up the station to continue with my full sleeve. It's very close to getting done and I'm excited to see the final results. Leif does all types of tattoos but personally I love his fantasy ones above all of the others but he's an incredibly varied tattooist and is willing to try anything. Come by here to relax and get a tattoo. You won't be disappointed. read more

Bedfellow is my favorite tattoo shop. The vibe here is awesome, the crew is super friendly and professional, and it's never boring at the shop. They have so much going on (during normal times), and the artists have so many varied and unique styles. They consistently win awards. I couldn't recommend this shop enough. read more

I have been going to Bobby for over 10 years! He does great work and is very professional. Tattoos that I've had for over 5 years still look brand new and still get compliments on it. Definitely recommend Bobby and anyone from his shop! read more

I got my second tattoo by Katie, and I'm far from pleased. I sobbed for 30 minutes after... We had 3 tattoos planned for the day, but only reached 1. I went to see her again as I thought she was nice and accommodating, but she was far from that. We couldn't see eye to eye when we were initially messaging but I thought we could make something work. She was extremely rude and I felt very uncomfortable the whole time. I tried to be nice to her and be as mindful of her as possible, but she not once asked me how I was feeling, if I needed a break, a water, etc. I made it clear I was hurting and all she responded with was I should see a doctor for my pain, 3 times. I didn't move my arm nor make any noises, I only was bouncing my knees and had my hand in my pants to go through the pain, and all she asked was if I was touching my privates, twice. I felt very uncomfortable. I did not say one negative thing about the tattoo or to her, I just asked questions and suggestions. The tattoo is NOT terrible, but I am very unhappy. I mentioned several times I did not want it dark at all, and she made the whole tattoo pitch black, like a giant cover up. She was not accomodating and seemed very annoyed at any suggestion or question I had. She didnt care what I thought, she didn't ask once what I thought of it, just charged me and goodbye. I was not going to say anything to her after NOR write a review, but the fact that she blocked me immediately after the tattoo, was the final straw. I would have at least a strand of respect for her if she messaged me saying something along the lines of; "I don't believe we should continue the other 2 tattoos, as we are not a good fit", I could have at least respected that. But, the fact I paid 800 for a black spot on my arm I specifically asked to not be so dark, and that she was far from nice, and that she couldn't even have a single ounce of decency, is the farthest idea from professionalism. I would recommend Xavier there as he seems the nicest and is very talented. read more

The best (and coolest) shop out there! Leif has been tattooing me for years, but all of the artists here put out incredible work, and the environment/vibe is the best. Everyone is always friendly, the place is clean and their practices are hygienic. I recommend them to everyone, and trust them with my (young adult) children. My daughter has gotten her tattoos done here and Bobby has done piercings for her and her friends. It's a rule in our family...if you're getting work done, you don't go anywhere else. read more

Came with high recommendations. Unfortunately, I had a rather slow start to what I wanted done and was asked eventually to draw the thing I wanted myself. A memorial piece for my deceased bird, for which I left $80 and a feather for artistic reference. After being asked to make up the drawing myself - having been there in person and explained it, sent many photos and detailed descriptions, some things came up in life because we live in strange times and it took me some time to try and pick back up on the project. I actually completely understood that after almost a year the deposit (which was +$30 of what I was requested to provide) was forfeit, but I really question why the artist would knowingly throw out or "misplace" the feather I told her was from my bird that is dead. I cannot understand at all why a human being in possession of another person's important item of that nature, wouldn't have reached out at some point to try and return it. I sat on this for awhile and I ended up blocking the artist on Instagram because this hurt me so much. I am pursuing another artist for the project, and thankfully, that wasn't the ONLY possession I had left from my bird. Truly depressing and sad the way this went. I would say that in the future, I'll be sure to pick an artist much more carefully. read more

This is the first negative review I've ever written. But it's about something that is on my body forever. I brought in a stenciled design to make it easy on the artist. The artist I had in mind wasn't available so the OWNER stepped up and said he would do the tattoo. He took back the stencil and brought back a terrible design. I told him I wanted the Stencil exactly. He made some excuses to why a print couldn't be copied and that a "graphic design is different from a tattoo and can't be replicated". This is completely false and by this time I've already had over 30 hours of work done. Not my first rodeo. He then came back with the basic design I wanted. I honestly should of walked out then but I had paid a deposit I knew that I wouldn't get back. He laid the stencil on my calf and I wanted it reversed. He responded "impossible". So we started and I made it clear that I just wanted the outline and very minimal shading. The OWNER butchered it. Over shaded everything, lost part of the stencil, wouldn't own up to it. I hated it. I went back for a touch up and he 100 percent made it worse. Even as I checked out the touch up I sighed and made it understood I wasn't satisfied but the damage was done. I now had an over shaded, in proportionately tattoo on my leg. Even another artist joked that my bear looked like it had manatee flippers. I eventually went back to my old artist out of town to get more work. He saw the tattoo and said "damn what apprentice did you let practice on you". Lines were blown out, everything was way sub par. And it was unprofessional. You could tell the owner didn't care about my feelings and just wanted the money. I don't recommend this place to anyone and I get asked all of the time where I got my tattoos done. BE CAREFUL with what shop you go to for something that's on your body forever. Otherwise like me you will not only overpay, but you will do so to have someone mess you up permanently... read more

Definitely a spot you wanna check out! Everything from sleek black and gray to vibrant colors and anime Badfellow Tattoo does it all.
