Let me preface this review by saying that I have exactly 0 knowledge of the tattoo industry and…read moreculture, but as far as I could tell, my experience at Glory Bound Tattoo was excellent. The past few years have made me a stronger person and I wanted to always have a reminder of how brave I can be. After research via Instagram, I found a few artists that fit what I was looking for. Evan, from Glory Bound Tattoo, was the friendliest and most personable via DMs and just as nice in person. She kept me cool, calm, and collected (at least I hope that's how I came across!) during the entire process even though I was very nervous. She was chatty, but not overly so, and was willing to take plenty of pictures of the finished product. Because of Evan's thoughtfulness and work, my first tattoo experience was a good one!

I was bummed when I found out he was moving away to Kansa City but the people there have gained a great artist. Rich did my first tattoo and to this day he is the only artist I go to. Rich does amazing traditional tattoos with bold clean lines and great color schemes. His designs are unique and I have a great amount of confidence in them. Whenever I want to get tattooed now I tell him what two or three things I am looking for and let him do his thing, the trust I place in him is worth it. If you are looking to get tattooed and you want tattoos that will heal exceptionally and that turn heads, Richard is your guy. Kansas City, take advantage of the great artist your city has gained. -Gio ( I'm lazy and using my brothers account)

However, Jason was the best of the best. From setting the appointment to getting through both tattoos. He was friendly and funny and had us laughing the whole time. His artwork is fantasti too. So the combination of all those things speaks volumes to me. I 100% would recommend the business and Jason. Thank you!

Radiance was suggested to me by a friend. My nose ring was 140.00. It is top of the line. I already knew the price of BVLA jewelry. Rami at the counter was so sweet and showed me selections. Wouldn't you know they had a purple sun. She explained the process. Kate took me into the room. Let me tell you it is like a spa. Beautiful and clean. The bathroom had sweet little Lego plants. The process was to be expected. Click pinch click. That's it. Done. I left with a complete understanding and also after care. It didn't hurt. It's fine now. It's healing beautifully. I will be a return customer.

She is WORTH THE WAIT. Do not be discouraged when you go to book and see that her openings are months out. That's because she is THE BEST permanent cosmetic artists in the KC area. I've had the 'trifecta' - brows, top eyeliner and lip blushing then decided I wanted more color and went to a lip stain. I get compliments ALL the time and I have referred countless people to Kara. Her high energy and charisma will make you feel like you're family and she does anything she can to ensure a comfortable experience. Seriously, don't wait. BOOK TODAY.

I planned my morning around that confirmed time, but the appointment was not put on the schedule. When I reached out to confirm and clarify what happened, the provider acknowledged she forgot to book me, but then canceled my future appointments and said she was no longer comfortable doing advanced treatments on me. I understand mistakes happen, but I found the communication and handling of the situation unprofessional. I was simply trying to clarify an appointment time that had already been confirmed, and instead of the scheduling mistake being handled clearly, I was made to feel like I was the issue. Because of that experience, I would not feel comfortable continuing services here and would not feel comfortable recommending her.
