I can't say they were rude. But polite they weren't either. You really won't get coddled here so come in with your big boy and big girl pants on and know exactly what you want so that you're not talked to like an idiot. - says me the first-timer. :/ Star rating 3. Today is the second day (that first paragraph was from the first). Got to say my star rating just jumped to 5. The vibe in here today is amazing. Music choice isn't what I'm familiar with but I'm loving it - low key rock with a chill vibe. Nice. My artist (Sam) just showed me a great rendition of the two images I provided to him with requested changes and I LOvE it. He did completely what I asked :) read more

Good place for larger tattoos, but I wouldn't recommend it for small ones. Their minimum price is $100, and I got a tattoo about the size of a quarter that still cost $100. In my opinion, it just wasn't worth the price for something that small. If you're planning to get a bigger piece, though, I think you'll get much better value for your money. Jeff is very talented, he does a great job. :) read more

Mark is an amazing and attentive tattoo artist. He took the time to get my tattoo just the way I wanted. He was very professional, communicative, and attentive, and was available for weeks after whenever I had questions. The shop is clean and we had great conversation. I will definitely be back! read more

Cool tattoo artists. Super chill/nice clientele. Very happy with my tat. My friend has also gotten many from Sam. The bathroom alone is worth the price of the tat(s). See pics. read more

I could sit here and write a small novel on why this place is so amazing! However I'll try my best to summarize. The decor, the atmosphere and the general great vibes you get when greeted at the door while are amazing they pales in comparison to the amazingly talented artist that work here. Most my experience has been with Mark (the owner) the dude is one of a kind. The creativity and insight this man has is next level. I flew from Tampa Florida to have him cover up a tattoo I got years ago. If you're in Michigan and in need of a tattoo I strongly urge you to go to signature! read more

This place has become my official tattoo studio since they did my first one with them years ago. I've been tattooed by them 4 times and each time I just walked in with a different artist - they are all fantastic at what they do! Shop is clean, work is speedy and perfect. read more

We walked in with a group of 6 people looking to get tattoos on a whim. It was an hour and a half before they closed. They accepted all of us and 4 of us ended up with tattoos varying in detail and design. Heath did my tattoo and it looks wonderful. He did small fine line tattooing for me and a friend. He also did a medium traditional tattoo for another friend. Mark did a bigger detailed tattoo with color for another friend at the same time. Each tattoo turned out great and I already have people asking me where I got my tattoo. Place was clean and organized. read more

I had such a great first tattoo experience at Signature the other day! Mark brought what I was hoping for to life, but even better. Mark creates some amazing art, I'm so happy to have this tattoo! He has great conversation, and communicates exactly what he's doing and what's happening next extremely well. The shop is super clean, and the atmosphere is incredibly chill. I will definitely be getting more tattoos here! I wanted a retro tv with the Twilight Zone on and to me this just screams the opening "That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!!" I couldn't be happier! Thanks again Mark! read more

Love this place! I discovered it visiting family in town. I've gotten two pieces done, both among my favorites. Every artist is strong, their guest artists are top-notch (the incredible Jim Howard, e.g.), their prices are fair (especially considering the quality of the work) and the shop itself is a blast to hang out in. read more

Loved getting my first tattoo done here by Jim Howard. He was patient with me and did a beautiful job. Can't wait to get another one done by him. read more

Took two folks in as a walk in on a Sunday afternoon - great effective consultation, comfy shop and quality work

Signature is a class act. I have been a customer for 5 or so years. The shop is always clean, organized, and very professional. All the artists are masters of their craft and take extreme care and pride in their work. Long time customer of Zach Hewitt. He is kind, professional, and a phenomenal artist. read more

I can't believe some of these negative reviews on here, Its a tattoo shop, not a children's daycare. That said the staff is cool, the shop is clean, and my artist Mark was incredible. My expectations were completely exceeded with how my tattoo turned out and since this was my first tattoo I went in slightly anxious. However, I was soon put at ease by the professionalism and courtesy I was shown. I would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks Mark! read more

Just about a hour ago I received a work of art tattoo done by Riley in Ferndale! I literally am blown away with her fast work. Words that come to mind. Skillet. Artistry. Easy hands! She made feel very comfortable. After all my tattoo she gave was on my neck! Go see Riley for your tattoo. A true artist. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Signature Tattoo. The shop is beautiful and clean; it's located in my favorite block on Nine Mile in Ferndale. It's next door to the Boston Tea Room; across from Natural Food Patch...two of my favorite places. I had been eyeing the location for a while; but I never really thought about having another tattoo. I have regretted the one I do have for years. Anyhoo, you're not here for a back story. I simply had to have a tribute in memoriam of Prince. I called and spoke to Madson. He could see me right away. When I arrived, he greeted me like a true gentleman would. I liked him immediately. We had a fabulous conversation which made me feel super comfortable. There was very little pain. I thought the tattoo would hurt like crazy because it's located just beneath my wrist; but it was fine. I adore my Prince symbol tattoo. I have already recommended Madson to my purple friends. read more

Well it took me 53 years to decide on having a full sleeve tattoo and I have to admit I was a little scared trusting someone to ink my body until I found Mark Heggie. After my initial consultation, I knew I was in the right spot. Mark took his time with me and has pointed me in the right direction several times. I was all over the board in the beginning but he has me on track and I could not be more happier.. His creative ideas are second to none in my opinion His shop is clean with great music and everyone that works there is friendly and happy to be there. I now look forward to hanging out and getting my ink on. If you are looking to get a full sleeve done, this is the guy. Thanks again Mark and see you soon. read more

I couldn't wait to get home to write my review. Zach did an absolutely PHENOMENAL job with my tattoos. I couldn't have asked for any better. The line work is fantastic and so clean and precise, same with the shading and the overall design of the tattoos. I got two cat tattoos of my babies that passed away and I almost cried when I saw them finished. They look identical to my cats based off the photo references I gave him. I can't thank you enough Zach, I'm so excited and thankful to have my girls on me and look so beautiful. He did exactly what I wanted and more. Also everyone here is super friendly and had me laughing. I really enjoyed my time here and felt very welcome and comfortable. I'll definitely come back when I'm ready for another and recommend this place and especially Zach. I'm so happy! Thanks for a great experience and for my new additions! read more

This is a great shop and I recommend to anyone looking to get a high quality tattoo check it out. I had an appointment but saw many walk-ins handled expertly while I was there with no awkwardness. The atmosphere is very comfortable, clean and professional. Tattoo artists are highly experienced and do beautiful work (especially Sam Wolf). read more

I just want to start off by saying thank you. Mark at Signature tattoo designed a tattoo for me that represented my husband which has passed away. Our last name is Cloud, so I wanted something to represent him. He looked at my arm and came up with a design made out of love. Marks work is very tasteful & unique. I am very happy with my tattoo knowing it was made with Marks passion that flows through his hands as he designs according to your body and style .Thank you read more

I got my first tattoo almost 4 years ago now at 45 years old. Prince had just died and I was so saddened by the news I had the symbol etched on my inside forearm. I inquired about an acquaintances husband, a tattoo artist and this is where he works. Zach was great. He calmed my nerves and did a beautiful job. I've gone back two more times since then. I didn't realize how I'm demand artists are, however, he always gets me in. I love every creation he does for me. I like the location on the shop and it's whimsical and colorful atmosphere. read more

After years of visiting Signature its high time I write a review. I have nothing but great things to say about this shop and their artists, especially my man Mark Heggie. Whether its a quick walk in or a 2 year sleeve Mark DOES NOT disappoint. I highly recommend Signature no matter the style, they have an artist for everyone. read more

These guys are all fantastic! Shout out to Nick!! He took my peony picture and turned it into a piece.of art!! He also did my husband's memorial tattoo for his Dad that recently passed away! Awesome atmosphere, clean, professional and fun!! If you're wanting some new ink, look no further!! read more

Joey G is great! He did a rose on my arm... I've had it for almost 3 weeks and have had sooo many compliments already. Will be going back to him for many more! I was greeted as soon as I walked in and everyone was really friendly. All the guys are very talented artists. Don't listen to those two girls that gave bad reviews. First of all, they didn't even get a tattoo so how can they rate it. That's like reviewing a restaurant you never ate at. And if they didn't have an appointment and walked in when everyone was busy what do they expect. Hold on, let me stop tattooing this paying customer and give you my full attention. Don't think so!

Signature Tattoo - The night I got it, by Joey G - Tattoo Near Me - Ferndale, Michigan

Zach at Signiture did an absolutely amazing job on my abdominal tattoo! I have absolutely no artistic talent. Zach took my babbling description of what I wanted and created an amazing work of art! Zach is kind, fun, engaging and very talented. I was convinced this one would hurt due to the location and my other experiences at 'other' places! Zach's touch was light and very gentle. I was beyond impressed and ecstatic about my new tattoo. Before I left, we scheduled a time for him to fix my tattoo on my lower back! Zach is DEFINITELY the man!! read more

Got my first tattoo done after months of research by Sam Wolfe. I had a good idea of what I wanted but I asked Sam if he could somehow make it even cooler. He absolutely delivered! He was a pleasure to work with and the rumors that he has a soft touch are legit. He gave clear instructions on how to care for it and he answered all of my questions. I whole heartedly recommend Sam for his professionalism, his artistic talent, and his ability to put ink into skin. read more

Fantastic! It had been a long time and I had been itching to get something new. Davey was nothing short of fantastic! I told him what I wanted and sent him a bunch of "inspiration" pictures to work with. When I came in to actually get the tattoo, the design he drew up was perfect. The colors ended up to be so bright and beautiful. I was there for 2 1/2 hours and he was a complete professional. I will definitely go back! read more

Horrible experience! I had my consultation a year ago with the owner for a full Japanese back piece. Seemed to go well and thought he had a good understanding of what I wanted. We agreed on the idea, I sent reference pictures, took pictures of my back, paid $300 deposit, and left. he'd told me he'd be able to schedule me in the fall and would call around June to schedule. Fall comes around he forgot about calling to schedule my appointment so I contacted him in September and he scheduled me for Jan 7th and at the end of Jan. He told me he'd send me a rough draft a few days before hand. While he did do that, the sketches look like they were done in 10min, doesn't follow what we discussed, and wants to do only 1 part and then build upon and fit the other parts of the piece, make a completely different focal point and then gives 0 idea of what the full piece would look like. I asked about what we had discussed and he proceeds to get mad tells me that's not how it works and that he wasted 6 hours on something that he'd have to scrap 3 days before first session. He then states he'll be canceling my appointment refunding my deposit all because I should just trust his 30 years of experience and should appreciate his professionalism and invested time. read more

Had a really top notch experience with Loaf, if you are anywhere in the Detroit metro area, make the trip to see him it'll be worth it. He is very knowledgeable and was great about giving suggestions about our design ideas to get the best looking tattoo and educating us in what would look good and why. He took the time to draw up several designs so we could see what his interpretation would be and choose from there. His station was super clean and he got it all setup quick, then one of my favorite things about our experience with him is that his machine is QUIET. When we first started I was the only one in the shop who was at the tattoo stage, and it was so quiet he could carry a normal conversation. Once the other machines fired up it was a harder... Great professional, very efficient, amazing artist with very clean lines. Go see Loaf, you will walk away happy. read more

Visited for consult, Booked appointment (expecting to pay just under $1k) sent reference pics prior. Drawing was not what was referenced in pics. I expressed my concern and artist told me "DONT GET IT". Very strange interaction. Definitely think we could have discussed and resolved. read more

To be upfront, I've only been here twice, both times for their annual birthday bonanza. We were there for the better part of four hours each time, so we got a lot of time to pay attention to the artists and staff, as well as check out the building. All of the artists and assistants were super friendly and welcoming, something I don't always feel from tattoo shops. There were no "holier than thou" attitudes or "you should be so lucky to be in my chair" egos. Just cool people shelling out awesome tattoos. The shops is pretty open, but still seemed clean and sanitary. Even with a crowd of literally hundreds of people and waiting lists 8 hours long, I didn't see any of the artists cutting corners on safety, or on quality of their work. Obviously I got to see a lot of tattoos being done - by like 8 artists simultaneously - and I've got to say that I'd feel pretty comfortable walking in and getting work done by any of them. read more

I adore this tattoo shop! I have been getting work done here for about 7 years now. Each artist is so professional, what i love the most is that they are all honest and direct in their communication which obviously means so much when it comes to having something permanent on my body. Its very obvious how much care they put into their work and that they love what they do..which makes being there a real god damn treat if i do say so myself. get a tattoo here, pain don't hurt. read more

In town from Chicago and from the moment of walking into this establishment it was utter dissatisfaction in regards to service. I've never been inside a business willing and ready to patronize yet discouraged for many reasons on why I should not. Brian (manager), is the main reason money walked out the door today, 3/6/22. Unfortunately for the owner, of whom was pleasant and empathetic, was not given the opportunity to resolve my concerns simply because of my frustration and anxiousness to go some place else that was more welcoming and respectful. read more

Service sucked, friend and I walked in to get a small tattoo. We were met with a dismissive attitude. The tattoo itself came out fine but it was nothing complicated. Took less than 5 minutes to complete. Probably won't be coming back read more

This is a very cool, clean shop in a great location. I had an amazing experience with Jeff! I walked in with a picture that I wanted on my wrist and Jeff took it and put his own spin on it. He was very helpful and I was very comfortable even though the tattoo hurt like a BITCH! I will definitely be back! He's awesome! All of the artists there do amazing work...even though Sam seems to be the most popular and most requested. read more
