Believe me...you have to pack your patience with me as a scary pants. Tattoo with Ally - I had already emailed an image of what I wanted to Charity. I thought that was it. Wrong! I was introduced to my artist, Ally, who had sketched some super dope art for me! I was really pleased! During the tattoo she talked me through it (it's on the back of my leg so I couldn't see the process) and made sure I was ok. The tat came out perfect!!!!! Her aftercare instructions were super thorough as well. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking to get some ink done!

The shop is upstairs and arranged like an apartment. It was so clean and it was cool that I didn't have to think about if other people were going to walk in while she was working. She had music related to my tattoo playing when I came in, and she couldn't have done more to make me feel comfortable. And that doesn't even cover how much I love my new tattoo. She was really flexible with my needs throughout the process, made me feel so comfortable. It was two hours and it flew by because she's so easy to talk to! She's a perfectionist, too-- so that's exactly the kind of person you want inking your body permanently. Sammy is so talented, and just what GPP needed! I can't wait to get more ink from her soon! Can't recommend her more!

While this was happening the staff member I was sitting with was very impatient and unprofessional, at one point also asking me "Where's her f*cking ID?" I left the building with a little spike helix piercing, thinking it looked good. However, within the week, the spike had COME OFF. it's not a twist-off (even if it was, I never would've been able to find it) it actually just like... popped off. After that, I didn't want to accept that I had flushed $70 down the toilet, so I flipped it around and would press it in every hour or so because, even still, without the spike, it would sink into my ear and close the hole. This was a very painful addition to my piercing journey. And this morning, when I woke up, the whole thing was gone and the hole was closed. I'm very, very, unhappy about my piercing, and if I could go back in time, I would've gone somewhere else.

You know what to expect when you go to a tattoo shop - condescension, lack of communication, no…read moreopenness, and generally a feeling you're bothering the artists for existing. At Harlequin, you get none of this. When I decided I wanted a hand piece, I knew I needed quality. My partner has gone here for a couple tattoos with Dawn, and she's always happy with the outcome. So, I decided to see if I meshed with the current artists. When I reached out to Luke, he was responsive and open to my idea. Booking was easy, and as you can see, the result was worth the wait. I sent a couple pics with my overall idea, but what Luke drew was beyond anything I was thinking. I can't put into words how excited I am with this piece. Luke was easy going throughout the process and on the day of the tattoo. The shop was clean and welcoming. The other artists were very kind, happy to talk throughout my stay. Again, no pretentious vibe here. I'm sad to say Luke will be opening his own shop soon, but most everyone at Harlequin seems awesome, so you should not hesitate to get your work done here. I'll be supporting them and Luke at his new shop in the future.

I messaged her on her Instagram and she was very quick to reply (most artists in my experience suck at responding) and set up a date. The tattoo shop is right in downtown Hamtramck. Parking is simple, but there are meters so bring change just in case. I found the shop to be very clean, open and welcoming. I do wish there was separation between artist stations but it seems most places are doing away with privacy. Dawn was very friendly and helpful with finding placement and perfecting sizing for my pieces. The tattoo process was simple. Dawn was great to chat with. She had a nice way of explaining what she was working on as she went through the process. I love my tattoos and wouldn't hesitate to go to this shop in the future.

I had a tattoo done here 20 years ago, when it was a storefront parlor with all the work being done…read morein an open floor space. A lot has changed. If you come here at night, you might think you're walking into a punk/metal club. The decor in each booth shows off the personality of the artists. But, don't freak at the skulls and horror movie statues: these are some of the coolest people you'll ever meet. Assuming you're here for a tattoo, your first stop will be looking at the books by artists here so you can see what kind of work they do. Some of the artwork is so beautiful and elaborate that you could make a print and hang it in a museum. The guy who did my work was Matt Black. We exchanged texts with my sketch of the design I wanted, and his ideas for how it would work. After seeing his work in the book, I shouldn't have been surprised, but the artwork he did was beautiful. I couldn't have imagined that my crude sketch would turn into something so impressive. I just got back from Las Vegas, where a tattoo parlor wanted to charge $250 for an hour of work; this was a place rated as a $$ price, which is crazy. The people out there are no better than the people here. Matt did my tattoo in about 2 hours, and it cost $250. Don't feel like you have to spend a fortune on a tattoo, and definitely don't go to a cheap place to save a few bucks. Eternal Tatoos will give you art that will stand the test of time.

I picked it because the owner (Sebastian) was a season 2 finalist on Ink Master. Sebastian stated that he only did black & white realism, & passed me off to Tron. I specifically told Tron that I was VERY particular, & to take his time. . . I was willing to pay for it. Now that the work has completely healed, it is some of the worst work for letting "I" have ever seen. Precision, accuracy, finesse, consistency are needed, which are obviously lacking in this work. I have since found out that Tron is one of the least experienced artists (?) in this establishment. A scratcher. IF you go over this tat with the same level of scrutiny as an Ink Master judge, It fails on many levels. . . consistency being the most lacking. The most obvious. . . the negative space in the "e" in "When" looks like a blob. I wrote a review they were not happy with, but surely deserved. They gave a half hearted apology, but did not mention giving back my money or making some attempt to fix it. Caveat Emptor.
