If your in the area, hell, even if your not I recommend coming to Blue Ribbon and seeing Jonesy!…read moreShe is an amazing person and a fantastic tattoo artist! The tattoo she did for me was a memorial tattoo for my papa that recently passed. She was able to take a sample of his handwriting and put a special message we used to say when I was younger on my should so he's always with me The shop I very clean and Jonesy goes out of her way to make sure you're comfortable and explains everything before getting started. And answers any questions along the way. She let us play our own music while getting the tattoos done. I'm from the Chicago area and I'd never go anywhere else now, it's a longer drive for me but totally worth it knowing I'll get stellar treatment and knowing my tattoo will be amazing! Bonus she's a Supernatural fan ask her about the cons and she'll tell you all about them. She's even got a poster sized photo op with the boys in the parlor! Go check it out! I can't recommend Blue Ribbon and Jonesy enough!

Her schedule & pricing are very reasonable, I'm bummed she moved a little further away. If you're looking for something that you won't regret, look no further than Blue Ribbon!

My daughter and I booked our appointment for poppy tattoos on our forearms. We were scheduled with…read morePablo, and did a great job. I gave him my design with requested alterations, which he did on his iPad in just a few minutes. The space was clean, safe, and sanitary. We were not sure about what size to get, so he printed a few variations and advised us on the one that would show the fine-line look we were going for. Pablo was also friendly and informative-- talking us through each step. It was my daughter's first tattoo, and he was attentive with her especially, turning on a fan when she said she was a little nervous. We will definitely return! They also do piercings and permanent makeup on site.

i want to start off by saying THE ACTUAL PLACE IS AWESOME AND SO ARE ALL THE WORKERS. except one…read morei've had a few problems with. there's a dude there with a lip piercing, had a broken hip at one point. the building was clean and the staff was nice but there is a man i do not recommend. he tried talking me out of doing a certain piercing cuz of his personal opinion and tried convincing me to do another that was similar but i did not like. after he ended up doing the one i wanted he didn't even put it in the right spot.. i thought it was just swollen and needed to heal up. i was wrong. i tried giving him another chance so i came back for 2 more piercings and he put them too far up than where they were supposed to be! no jewelry looks good on it no matter how i adjust it. i've had it pierced before (by someone else years ago, it just happen to fall out and close) and it was perfect. he does not have good placement on any of my piercings so far (i've gotten 4 done by him and none of them look correct :( they look odd) i'm so sad im gonna have to let them all close back up and go to a new piercer who can do it correctly :( don't waste your money on him

I lived having Sydney help me with my recent piercings. I came in hoping for a conch and nostril…read morepiercing, but after examining my anatomy, Syd discussed options other than the conch, because she was concerned it wouldn't heal properly with my ear shape. She let me know my other options, and without pressuring me to get any ear piercings, helped me choose an upper cartilage. This was $10 cheaper than my original conch hopes, and i am so thankful she helped me choose a piece that would heal well, rather than getting an extra $10! I will absolutely be back to finish decorating my ears!

I got a small tattoo on my lower leg about 23 years ago and have been wanting to get it touched up…read morefor a long time but have always been kind of nervous about it. My past experience and knowledge about tattoo shops is that they can be very intimidating. That was NOT my experience today!! I first met the guys from Sacred Apple about 20 years ago when I was doing something for a radio station that I worked for. I have always said I wanted to go there to get my work done. The owners have changed and so have the artists, but I felt like this is where I wanted to go. The location is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. There were 6 cars parked out front and I thought that meant there would be a wait. I was wrong. The shop is really large and can handle multiple clients at a time. I was greeted as soon as I walked in by the owner, Travis. I explained to him what I wanted done and he told me he could fit me in right now. He told me that they are pretty busy through April but because mine was simple he could get to it. His tattoo booth are was clean and well organized. I watched him take extra steps to insure an aseptic and sanitized technique. He talked to me throughout which helped with the slight discomfort/pain. We talked about some possible additions in the future to my simple tattoo. The whole process was less than 30 minutes. At the conclusion, he walked me through the after care process and he thanked me, I paid up (very reasonable) and I was on my way. The whole time I was in the shop, I felt comfortable and welcomed. He made sure that he asked me if it was okay if someone who just walked in the front door could come back so he could answer their questions. I appreciated the courtesy. I waited almost 20 years to get it updated and I am glad that I chose Sacred Apple.
