Liquid Courage Tattoo & Piercing

Liquid Courage is by far the #1 tattoo shop in Omaha. From the moment we walked through the door they were friendly and professional. We compared other tattoo shops around Omaha and there was no comparison to Liquid Courage. John tattooed my husband and I. This was my first tattoo; he made it painless and easy. We are already looking forward to our next tattoos at Liquid Courage.

This place is awesome. My husband and I were traveling from out of town and made an appointment with Andrew milko, who luckily had a cancellation and could fit us in (he’s booked for the rest of 2015) the studio is s little hard to find, you need to look for it which makes it even more of an awesome shop. Super clean, everyone is friendly. I looked through the other artists books and they all seem super talented. Andrew was professional, friendly, and did a great job on our tattoos. Plus he’s from the east coast, so we had a lot to talk about. I would travel to get tatted by him again.

I learned about Liquid Courage because I was part of an adult rec hockey league here in Omaha. I was told that if I was going to have any ink done I had to go and see Devin at Liquid Courage. I met Devin finally one night at a drop-​in/​pick-​up hockey game and asked Devin if he would be able to fix the mistake from seeing a newer artist at Hart & Huntington in Las Vegas a few years back and Devin said no problem.
I finally was able to work it out with Devin to stop by Liquid Courage on August 14^th while my children were in school. I arrived just prior to my 12:00 pm appointment and proceeded to fill out the paper work required and before I knew it Devin was at work on my Chicago Cubs tattoo. There was lively discussion through out the time that I was there and before I realized it Devin asked me to take a look at how the ink now looked. I was very happy to say the least. The tattoo did not look like it was faded away like it had since originally getting it. I have been so happy to know that my Cubs tattoo looks the way it should have always looked when I originally got it. Now I just have to get my wife to agree to allow me to add my Chicago Bulls and the 2014 – 15 Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks logos with my Cubs and Chicago Bears tattoos.
I posted a picture on Facebook and will advise that if you live in Omaha or you’re going to visit Omaha you need to see Devin. Liquid Courage only does work by appointment and is usually booked well in advance. If you are able to catch Devin at his 2^nd shop Sailor’s Grave in the Community of Benson Maple Street at roughly 61^st street, things are on a first come first served basis. I high recommend if you’re going to Sailor’s Grave that you get there one hour prior to the 12:00 pm opening or be prepared to wait for a while.
Thanks Devin!!! I hope to get back soon to add more ink to my body!!!

I read all the great reviews on here so I decided to go in and check it out. The receptionist was snobby and rude. I handed her a hand-​drawn picture of what I wanted and she looked at me like I was joking. Yes ma’am, I know my tattoo is not going to look like it was drawn by hand, it was a sketch…
Anyway, the pricing was the same as anywhere else. Place was clean. After looking through all the binders, my boyfriend finally pulled me out. He has sleeves and has been getting tattoos for years and the first thing he said was «their reputation exceeds them» and I agree. I decided to go to Black Squirrel and I couldn’t have been happier!

Holy crap! The easiest way to see whether or not you are an artist is to get something tattooed on you. Forever. I just finished the third session in a series of one whole piece. I am not an artist, For months I have had outlines and then some shading and fill in, but never saw the full picture. Devin is my artist exclusively; I have waited to get multiple pieces done by him and he gets me. And my ideas/​theme. I came in a long time ago with a shit-​ton of images to get the concept. He put together a sketch (in of itself is art) and I have gone in and got it started. Today, in its’ fainality, I could not be more impressed! Awesome is an understatement.
I have seen some of the other artists’ performing and end results and know that the bar is set high.
Certain artists have skills that exude the others, but all are extremely capable of taking your money and delivering an exemplary product. I will be going back soon enough and by that, in about 8 months from now.
Pro tip: Make your appointment now, get the best results later. $ 60 minimum

When I moved to Omaha, I had no idea of where I would be going to get my next piece of art done. After reading through a lot of reviews and consulting some of my friends, I opted to go with Liquid Courage. I met with Andrew and he immediately for the vision of what I wanted to have done and what I wanted to incorporate. The trick was that I wanted to not only have a significant piece of work done, but I wanted it to be built around an existing tattoo. After some planning and 2 sessions, I was blown away with the art work that now graces my body. I will be back for additional work and never hesitate to to recommend them if someone is looking for some new work or to get tattooed for the first time. Simply phenomenal and my tip is to look through the portfolios of the artists. Each will have specialties of what they are best at in terms of design. Also, they are booked well in advance, so be patient… it will e worth the wait.

J is the man. Liquid Courage is the only place I go for ink. Professional, artistic, and pleasant to talk to. It’s worth the wait; J took an idea in my head and created a piece of art that I love on my arm. Been taking friends here since. Make sure you tip your artist!

I’ve been going to Jeremy «Fierto» Cruz for four years now. I got my first tattoo from him and haven’t found another artist I trust like I trust him. The shop is always clean, good vibes, and even better art. I live in California but drive all the to Omaha just to get ink slung by this shop. When it comes to the «gold standard» in tattooing, look no further.

A quick update now that my tattoo is complete. Completely satisfied, can’t wait to get another (as usual). Dennis is a talented professional and made me feel completely comfortable. I love the finished piece. The shop is so friendly, every time I was there I had a good laugh at the jokes/​stories artists and customers were telling. From the books it looks like everyone there would be worth seeing to get work done.

Have gotten some piercings here, nice people, good job.

Hands down the best place in Omaha to get a tattoo. All the staff is friendly and professional. Everyone there does amazing work and it shows in the killer art they make. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I have to echo the sentiments already expressed about Liquid Courage. It is simply the best place in Omaha to get a tattoo. I got both of mine here, and after seeing some friends get tattoos from other places, I’ve got to say I’m glad I went where I did.
Mine are relatively simple, but my buddy had a couple custom pieces he designed done here and everything has been top-​notch. The artists here are just that, artists. You can either bring them your own ideas or let them come up with something for you, and either way you’ll walk out with the best quality work, which is important when you’re permanently altering your body.
If you are going to get a tattoo, I honestly cannot recommend this place enough, they’re the best.

Top Notch Artists! If you are seriously looking to get a good tattoo, look no further. Stop into the shop and check out all the different styles the shop has to offer. Every one of the artist are super friendly and shop is very clean. I have been coming here now for a few years and I will most likely cover my entire body by these tattoo artist here at Liquid Courage. The shop manager is a pretty cool dude too.

I started my tattoo life at various other places around Omaha and I have some ok tats from these places but as soon as I started getting ink from Fierto at Liquid Courage and meeting the artists there I will never go anywhere else for my inking. They are cool to hang out with in and out of the shop and the art that comes out of each artist is amazing and I’m proud to have some of that talent on my body!

I got my very first tattoo from jeremy it is also my biggest tattoo. I brought in a drawing I had done and asked jeremy to super size it. It turned out snagging it was exactly what I had wanted. It was an amazing price for the size. Jeremy has a lot of talent. My first tattoo is the one I am most proud of. I would recommend them to anyone, which I do! You would be dumb to expect anything but greatness! Thank you.

I’ve been going to Liquid Courage since it first opened… following one of the artists from another shop. I wouldn’t even think about going anywhere else. Every artist there is amazing. And what’s really cool is each of them have a specialty, so there will always be someone who will be able to give you exactly what you were looking for, and more.
The other thing that’s great about Liquid Courage is that all of their tattoos are custom. No picking from flash on a wall. You’ll get something no one else has.
Because of all of the above, the artist’s schedules book up quickly, so you might have to wait a while to get in to get your new ink. But it is well worth the wait.

For my very first tattoo, I came to Liquid Courage and to Devin. The first time I met Devin, a friend of mine was getting a tattoo on her shoulder, and I knew, right then and there, that I would ask Devin to do my first tattoo.
My tattoo is a 6×8 picture of someone who is very close to me — someone I lost way too soon. What Devin did for me, it’s priceless — which is probably why I didn’t mind paying for his handiwork.
Devin is, above all things, an artist. He took an image I had and gave me something that will be with me forever, and I could never, in a million years, be able to express the gratitude I have for the quality of workmanship with which he performs.
If you’re looking for a tattoo and you kind of have an idea, bring it to the artists at LC… They are AWESOME — every last one of them!

I’ve had two tattoos done here and I love them both. I’m sad that I moved out of state and can’t get any more work done here. I haven’t gotten a tattoo because I haven’t seen any studios that are as nice as this one. I now live in Berkeley CA (you would think I could find some place as cool as LC) and I still miss this place.
I love that Liquid Courage had done completely custom tattoos for me. I never have to worry that I will see someone with a tattoo just like mine.

The only place in Omaha to get tattooed, as far as I’m concerned. I love the crew here. In addition to being talented (obviously) they’re also unbelievably creative, know how to have a good time, and never settle for giving anyone a ‘plain ol tattoo’. Everything is 100% custom and tailored to the client.
Plus, once a year as a customer appreciation gesture, they have a Free Tattoo Day. But keep in mind that because they’re so good, and people have such a high opinion of the shop, appointments with some artists are hard to come by on short notice. Stop in and make an appointment, Nick will also help you decide who you should see you don’t have someone specific already in mind and offer recommendations on what they can and can’t do in terms of design.

This is my favorite place to get tattoos. I first came here because my co-​workers recommended this place. Very talented artists. I actually never got a big tattoo until I came here. I brought in my design and he redrew it 3 times bigger than I wanted. I was really nervous about getting a big tattoo, but I made the mistake of not listening to a tattoo artist in the past. So, I stuck with the size he recommended and I’m glad I listened to Devin. Devin also did a great cover-​up on one of my tattoos.
If you want to get a tattoo give them a cal. They’re very busy, so you might have to wait a few months. Be patient, it’s worth the wait.
