All for an affordable price. I appreciate the surgical steel and not having to ask too many questions in that regard. I would say my only "qualm" if you can even call it that, is that they don't send you home with any cleaning solutions. You have to make it yourself. It's easy - distilled water and salt - but there's something about having a shop provide it to you that makes you trust it more. They could also probably increase price slightly if they added that...just a business reco from me. But I'm happy!!

I'm very impressed by the service…read more I was wanting a tattoo and I noticed this location was local, so I decided to step in and get to know the crew and environment. When I entered, I was greeted warmly by the staff and asked what I needed assistance with. I told them I would like a tattoo and asked for pricing. They gave me a fair price and I was assigned someone to get that piece of work done. The individual assigned to me was very nice and respectful. They were very skilled in their craft and I appreciated the friendliness of the associate. It made my experience a lot better, and it slightly took away from the pain of getting the tattoo (they never get easier). Overall, I'm very impressed with the service of the staff and the tattoo. I recommend anyone looking to get a tattoo to come to this location. I will definitely be returning here for more work!

I initially chose to use this piercing studio because I liked the way the exterior of the building…read morelooked with its Ouija inspired graphics. I was directed to the website where it was easy to arrange an appointment, and that appointment happened to be with the owner of the establishment. Once I got there for my appointment, I was in awe of the interior decor as well, which was really nicely decorated and had a very cool indoor plant garden, of sorts. I was greeted very professionally, and then was shown all the options available for my dermal piercing, which was fantastic! I didn't realize I would be given such a massive selection to choose from, which got me really giggity lol. It took me a few minutes, but I made my selection and then proceeded to wait in the lobby until I was called. It was there that I became more in awe- especially after seeing his pressed penny machine. I have literally never walked by a pressed penny machine without choosing to partake, so that was RAAAAD! Now, I don't want to think about my age hahaaa but it's been at least 20 years since my last piercing. Clay was VERY thorough in letting me know all the details about THIS type of piercing, which I didn't previously know. Apparently- dermals WILL eventually work their way out, which didn't make me change my mind- but can certainly sway others against it. He stressed that it was only a matter of time, but I am grateful for knowing this so I don't need to freak tf out when the time comes hahaaa. Aside from that- this dude had an amazing personality-very caring and communicated well all thru the process. I don't plan on ever going anywhere else for a piercing or body jewelry, as I am HOOKED!

The #1 tattoo shop in Kansas City. Hands down. Has won tons of awards and all the artists are all…read moreincredibly skilled! As I just said, you cannot go wrong with any of the artists here; however, the two that I go to are Bob Bitner, a master, and Wes Durham, the current apprentice. Both guys have done amazing work and I will continue to recommend both of them as well as the shop as a whole! I will briefly summarize how the process works for those of you that are unaware. Catalyst really only works on appointment only. Unless you want work done by one of their two apprentices you will likely have to put your name on a year long wait list to get an appointment with one of the master artists and likely will also need to give them a down payment-this is so people don't back out all the time. The next step is usually to go have a consultation with your artist that you choose. During this consultation, you and your artist will discuss the type of artwork that you like and want on your body for the rest of your life (lol) and then either he or she will work on some drafts to show you to see if you like them. Most recently, Catalyst was located out in the cuts of Independence, MO off 291 Hwy; however, they recently moved down into the Crossroads! I had my forearm sleeve recently completed by Wes D. at the old Independence shop. I do have an appointment in January of 2019 with Bob B. to finish the rest of my sleeve! This shop prides itself of professionalism, cleanliness, and unique work & artistry. It is not cheap but you get what you pay for when you purchase a tattoo. In my opinion, this will be with you for the rest of your life so you might as well have it done by the best tattoo artists possible!!

When I said I was interested in getting my first tattoo, she looked annoyed but said she'd stay and tattoo me. I showed her my design and she took me back to her table. The music was VERY loud and it smelled of smoke throughout. My questions were answered but overall I was uncomfortable and never really got over my nervousness. After the tattoo was finished, I walked out the door. No wrapping was done or cleaning instructions. My tattoo ended up healing properly and I did my own research on how to care for it. I know I should have asked more questions about the after care process, but it should be the responsibility of the artist, right? I chose this shop because my husband had gotten a tattoo a few months earlier and had a good experience. But not all artists are created equal!
