I was scared. Let that be on the record. I wanted a tattoo and for all the wrong reasons. Mainly because it was cool. I consulted friends and drove everyone crazy with questions ranging from where to get it from to how much it would hurt. So one late night during work, I decided that it was time. I looked at all of the tat places around Toledo and decided that Needle Masters was going to be the place. The thing that sold me was that they guaranteed the work and they even won awards for being THE cleanest tat parlor in Lucas county. They even bragged that the health inspectors got tats from NeedleMasters. But as they say, seeing is believing. Ads can lie, testimonials can be hyped and some people don't always tell the honest truth about things. I went in and was greeted by my tattooist, Jose. I told him what I wanted and what I wanted to spend. He took the design I had and made it a lot better than I had drawn it, and being that it was within my price range, I went with it. Now came the hard part. The execution. He had me wait for about 20 minutes while he prepped his work area. They he called me back. It was set up professionally, and he was wearing gloves and a mask. He had me sit down where he could do his work. I asked if it would hurt. He was honest, and I like that, saying it would a little, but I would get used to it. No painkillers. It took a little more than an hour and when it was done it was fantastic. The only regret I have is that it is on my lower back where few people can actually see it. I hurt, but only on a scale of about 5 out of 10. Not too bad, and you know, I would do it again. He gave me an aftercare pamphlet and told me to return if I had any concerns. It healed according to schedule, and today sits on my back as a testament to his skills as an artist. Would I go back? You betcha. I'm planning to add to my artwork on my back, and hopefully Jose can finish what he began. I will always use NeedleMasters and if you go there, you will too. As they say, a good tattoo isnt cheap, and a cheap tattoo isn't good. Truer words were never spoken. read more

fuck this place pierced my anti eyebrow with a curved bar n i didn't see what the mf was gonna use until after he put it in my god damn face read more

actually unprofessional with their piercings. they do not use the correct grade of jewelry so piercing become infected very easily.

Got my first tattoo here! Heaven tattooed me and she did awesome! I started getting nervous before the tattoo and she was super polite about it and told me she could start small but once she started I was fine! Awesome experience and will definitely go again for my next! The price of my tattoo was $120 which is a great price for how big it was! Some friends of mine paid the same price for a small tattoo at a different place so the prices are great here! My tattoo only took about 15-20ish minutes so not too long! The pain was a solid 3/10 some parts hurt more than others I got it on the side of my thigh and definitely recommend getting a tattoo there because it wasn't painful. read more

Was on road-trip for my 16th birthday and went here to to get a belly button piercing. Zii got me in very quickly with just a call. Very quick and painless. Very comfortable environment and Zii was very good about it being my first piercing and made sure I was comfortable and stable. read more

Needle Masters Tattoo Studio - Tattoo, thigh piece. - Tattoo Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Love it! They have done several piercings for my friends and I and everyone loves them!! Whitey and Gravy are so friendly and accessible outside of the shop. I can text them a question about my piercing and they will answer within minutes. I prefer this shop over the other location, just because of pricing and friendliness. It gets busy weekends after 9, people like to do things on a whim and bring friends with them (like me), but it's the best place I have been to. I plan on sticking to this place for as long as I can. read more

I am a first timer. Our tattoo artist was Tank. Was able to get in for a small tat as a walk in. Tank was thorough and knowledgable. He made me anD my friends feel comfortable and safe. He let us listen to Taylor swift. He is the best and highly recommend read more

Got three piercings here in the same night and all three have healed super well and I never had any problems with them. Everything was clean and the whole process was explained and the equipment being opened was shown the whole time. read more

I don't recommend the one on Reynolds very nice but very unprofessional and they give you the run around and excuses even when they are at the wrong and tried to give excuses on why we can't use our refund gift card and do a horrible job on tats. read more

Mario did a tattoo on my wrist. It was suppose to be my daughters name. Brooklyn. He had the stencil correct then decided to free hand which I questioned but he guaranteed he could do words better free hand well when he was done I looked down and started crying he spelled it wrong. He smelled like he had just smoked a bowl then put a pound of cologne on to try to cover it up. He went over it and corrected it the best he could. I was so upset. He then argued with me that you spelled brooklyn brookyln (which is how he spelled it) then he continued to charge me $95 for the fucked up tattoo and gave an attitude when I didn't leave a tip. He also screwed up my friends side piece the same day. She had gotten 10 tattoos there and 4 piercings before then. She's never went back. I would be mad no matter what tattoo he messed up but this one is my daughters name. That's a big deal to me. And then to continue to charge full price which every other studio and artist I've talked to have all said something that small and simple would be closer to $60-$65 not $95 read more

I like this shop better than the south location. All of the artists and piercers are nice and don't overcharge like the south shop. Never had to pay more than $80 for my tattoos and my piercings have never had an issue. read more
