    Niemo's work

    Niemo is an amazing artist! I wish I would have met him earlier in life. He uses the best ink -bold and vibrant. The room was clean and comfortable. He has a tv, stereo and a couch if you decide to bring a friend. I'm defiantly going back here soon for a half sleeve.

    The experience and quality at Detroit's Custom 5150 Ink is unparalleled. I had originally stopped in with my friend who was getting a small quotation around her collarbone. As we were waiting, in conversation I mentioned that I was looking for someone to do my 4th tattoo, a watercolor half sleeve of the San Francisco Peaks. Thomas immediately came around the corner and told me that he'd love to work with me. Over the next three weeks, Thomas painted the entire piece by hand in preparation for my session. He also collaborated with another artist, Jenny. Throughout the next three weeks they went back and forth trying to decide who would be the best fit for me and my piece. They eventually decided that Jenny would take it on. She nailed it perfectly. It was everything I ever dreamed of and better than I ever thought possible. Jenny asked me a ton of questions and spent another hour with me making sure she understood every little detail and intricacy of the piece before getting started. She answered all of my questions with superior patience and produced not just a superior product but an excellent ambiance and overall experience--all while doing it entirely freehand. Throughout the 6 hour session, Thomas and many other artists from the studio frequently came into the room to check on me and check out Jenny's work--encouraging and celebrating her craft. It's clear that these artists are a family--the genuinely care about each other and each other's art-- and they make you feel like you're apart of their family too. I will never go anywhere else. Get your tattoo done here. Now. Ask for Jenny and Thomas--they'll hook you up.

    Took my daughter in for a Helix and doubles. paperwork is not, it's all on an ipad which was nice…read more Staff extremely friendly and helpful (she was nervous). Do the forms, pick your jewelry, pay, get pierced. Mike Moore was absolutely amazing with everything... he put my daughter at ease, talked her through every single step (I was allowed in the room with her during the piercing) and in general made this an exciting, memorable event. HIGHLY recommend and am thankful - Mike's empathy and compassion was clear and appreciated. Aftercare instructions were very clear and repeated several times, till he was sure she understood. I can't give 6 stars so 5 will have to do!

    My sister treated me to a an early Christmas gift to get my helix pierced and this popped right up…read morewith great reviews. The piercing was booked with Ben on a Friday after the holiday at 3:30 when the place was jam packed with walk-ins. Somehow Ben and Al, who greeted us and helped us prior to our appt, were able to manage all of us and communicate along the way. They were awesome and their teamwork and service was top tier. They also both hyped me up about my stud and totally unprompted. My only regret is not booking another appt simultaneously when it was open LOL! Ben is by far the best piercer I've ever had. He also saved my sister fees by piercing her ear with a dull needle so she only had to pay for the jewelry. Overall I would recommend them to anyone! Worth the price and the wait. Looking forward to another appt when I'm in town again! Also very sterile vibes and Ben took time between appts to sterilize and change gloves even though I was with my sister.

    I would 100% recommend this shop to anyone who values beautiful and precise artistry…read more The artist, Sam, took my rough concept and turned it into a fully fleshed out work of wearable art and I am so unspeakably honored to be the person to have this tattoo. He was professional and clean and took his time with the little details such as placement. Being an illustrator myself, I tend to be quite picky about the permanent art that goes into my skin. Sam is not only a masterful tattooer but he understands the foundations of fine art that make the piece more than just a tattoo, but a work of art. Well done.

    mark is very talented and my tattoo came out nice. PLEASE READ…read moreAfter Three sessions, maybe four. (he was transitioning from ferndale to BFE) I feel a bit taken advantage of and I must leave an honest review after spending thousands of dollars. I would choose otherwise if I had it to do again. the reason why- absolutely no touch up offered and when I asked months later, he said no- it would just be another full day. What artist doesn't offer TOUCHUP? I want to throw up by the amount of money I spent vs marks lack of concern and professionalism. notice he will book you an EIGHT HOUR spot every session and if not just know he preyed on me as a young woman. I've had several tattoos and know that this one shouldn't have taken more than 2 sessions and that I shouldn't have paid what I did. take heed.

You're probably not going to get a walk in tattoo done here, but walk in to talk to or consult with an artist ahead of time to be sure. The shop itself is in a good location with a decent amount of parking, and inside it is inspiring. There are lots of plants and beautiful art. It is body-positive and woman-positive with more than one woman tattoo artist in residence. The tattoo work areas are separated with short walls and actual doors so privacy is controlled. It also allows each artist to have her own space full of the energy she wants. This part of the shop's design really adds to the experience of being worked on there. It allows the creative energy to bubble around without feeling intrusive or exposed while being worked on. It can also shift during a session - door open or closed. I have two fairly large, artist-original pieces done by Autum McCallister (Lethal Lady). Her work is magical! You can find it on Instagram or Facebook, or stop in to see her. She also does commission pieces (your design). Autum's eye for color, shape, and layout makes for truly gorgeous body art. When I have requested (small) changes to a design, she is thoughtful and takes her time to work through what will work well with the piece and fits with what I like. She'll also make some changes as she works and sees the piece come to life on your body. To top it off, she has a great sense of humor, and we have fun conversations with a lot of laughter. Though I haven't worked with any other artists at this shop, I have listened to them work and seen some of it. Stop in with your idea, and whoever you talk to will either be a good choice or tell you who the right person for your piece would be.
