Brass Monkey Tattoo Company

So for my very first tattoo and my husband and I’s anniversary gift to each other, we went to Brass Monkey Tattoo. Josh, who was booked out was very kind to fit us in right away. The tattoos turned out very tight and actually turned out better than we could have expected! We will definitely go back for future tattoos, thanks Josh!

We got two tattoos here– one was a touch up/​fix on my wrist and the other was a butterfly on my wife’s leg. All of the staff were very nice. Our tattoo artist did an amazing job and the prices were reasonable. The shop is clean and has some really cool décor. Overall we were very pleased. This will be our go to place for now on.

I am so huge on customer service and after walking in other establishments asking simple questions and getting snarky remarks and rude looks I am very impressed with brass monkey. My gf and I randomly walked in as they were closing up. They actually stayed open to give us each a simple tattoo. They were nice, quick and professional. My heart tattoo turned out very well and I have no complaints. I will definitely be going back and will continue to recommend them. I feel bad however that I cannot remember the name of the artist that did the work!

I wish I could give zero stars I feel so sickened about this establishment and the way they carry business that words can hardly do justice the disdain this shop has for its customers and the art of tattooing. I went in a couple months ago for my first tattoo I even got two done that day. My «artist» was Dan. I got a pyramid on my arm and a very basic smiley face on my other arm. The pyramid healed fine but the smiley face seemed to heal really nasty and the stabbing was ridiculous. After 75 days or so they pyramid looked alright, the lines were a bit sloppy but it was fine but the smiley face was something horrid. Ink was everywhere it just looked like a toddler took a tattoo gun to me. I went back and Dan told me it simply wasn’t done healing. I didn’t think that was the case so I went to receive some second opinions. After gathering research and professional opinions from other shops I learned that my tattoo was «blown out» that is when the artist drills to deep in your skin and pierces a layer of skin he is not supposed to and that leaks ink all in your inner layer of your epidermis which cause scarring and random ink all over your tattoo. My arm is now a scarred mess with different colored ink all over my tattoo. The scarring is so bad I can’t even cover it up. My scars will always be visible. I went back to the shop and demanded a refund and an apology. Dan said he would try to fix my tattoo i told him he would never touch me with a needle again. Me and Dan stepped outside and were arguing but not fighting we were being adults. Then out of no where a customer of his hit me in the face! After that happened one of the tattoo artist came outside and pushed me as if I did something wrong. This is so unacceptable that I cannot fathom that a business would allow this behavior. A artist assaulting a customer is the most out of line thing you could possibly do. This place scarred me for life. The business ethics are also more than questionable. I received no refund. I left with a swollen nose a ripped shirt and 250 $ on them tearing up my body. If you want a crappy expensive tattoo then by all means come here. If you want to not be scarred I would certainly stay away from Dan and all of the questionable artist in this business. I’m so devastated about my arm I wouldn’t let Dan draw a picture on me. I recommend Tattoos by the Russian. Great work really affordable and you don’t leave with disgusting scars from artist who don’t know what there doing. It’s a shame that this place is even considers a reputable business.

They are rude. Just because it’s a piercing shop, does that give the people that work there permission to act like petulant adolescents?

Went to this shop on a whim and ended with a great experience. Scott did a great job of taking my picture and idea and turning it into an even better sketch. Quick, easy, and I’m super happy with the final product.

Chris did an awesome job piercing my daughter’s nose. He’s a super nice guy with a steady hand. Great location for the best ice cream or beer around when you’re done.

Note: I have not and will not get a tattoo here.
I called to find out shop rates and get appointment info. It was a demoralizing conversation, in which I was talked down to when I asked about deposits and appointments, «How many other shops have you called? I can’t tell you that information over the phone. Not to be rude, but that’s how tattoo shops always work. I don’t know if you’ve ever gotten a tattoo anywhere before. I can’t see anybody’s schedule. It’s first come, first serve.»

I was a walk-​in and I got a piercing and it was good! Nice and chill people! Def recommend!

This place was a right away pick when walking through the door. It has great vibes and some really talented artists. A buddy of mine and myself got tattoos from Bismark, he’s only been at brass monkey for a month now but he’s a great artist who use to do work in Texas.
Both our pieces came out crisp and his lines and coloring are awesome
WARNING– if you’re going for your first tattoo I would try another artist or let him know. Of my six pieces I’ve had done he’s a little tougher with the needle. My leg was sore for a couple days after

Had a memorial tatto done and really was a bit nervous but from the minute I walked thru the door Dan B made me feel so welcome and at ease I scheduled my appt and so happy with the experience. Dan did an Amazing job with the very detailed tat and it’s just beautiful I couldn’t be happier. Thank You Dan for an awesome experience

These guys are awesome! Seth has done some amazing work for me and I would recommended this shop to anyone! Also EXTREMELY clean and professional, plus the work done by all these guys is amazing! It can’t get any better!

Love the environment, the staff, and their work. I always recommend these guys for anything. I’ve gotten all my tattoos, and piercings done at BMTC. Love it

New location is awesome! Josh did an awesome job fixing my tattoo that was done horribly at another shop. I will deff be back!

I went here for my latest tattoo and Dan B did a fantastic job! I gave him a few examples of what I wanted and when I came in for my appointment he was ready to go and I was so impressed with the work and his professionalism that I will be returning to him for my next tattoo. The shop is clean and looks great, the staff is friendly. One of the best shops in town!

When it comes to collecting art that will be with you even unto the grave, and viewed by sexual partners forever, one must take special precaution and choose wisely as to whom they allow to alter their meat suit. These fellas are absolutely top notch! After the first time walking in and discussing my ideas with Dan and Josh, I felt completely stoked about my large ¾ sleeve project.
Dan is about 5 hours in on my arm at the time of this post and everything is taking shape amazingly, I’ll be extremely proud to show off the finished project. Shoot, I’m proud to show it off right now!
If you’re looking for an exceptional shop with fantastic artists you’ve found it! And, absolutely great pricing to go along with the incredible artwork!
Still have any doubts, I dare you to call them or stop in and see if you don’t walk away from that experience with a goofball grin! As a matter of fact, I double-​dog dare you!

Kick ass guys that do awesome work. Thought their shop closed for good, then looked it up… new locale!!! Jonny did a large, awesome piece on my upper arm. Going back to him for all my future work, and I recommend him and that shop to all my friends. Can’t wait to see the new place!
