Had an amazing session with with Timmy Do Right here at Grade A Tattoo!! It was an all day session with the artist and was worth every penny. He has a great eye for detail and created an amazing piece based on a picture that was shown. He was even able to add a bit of wordage at the last minute to help just make the tattoo perfect. Will absolutely ask for him again when I am ready for my next tattoo!!!! Thank you!!!

I went and got a half sleeve done and Isaac Rouge did a awesome job! I gave him a rough idea of what I wanted and he took it and ran with it. It turned out above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined! He is very detail oriented. He is NOT heavy handed, which I feel is very important. The pain was very minimal. Very fair on the price, he was on time, and just a all around amazing artist.

I cannot say enough how great this place is. Great staff and amazing quality work. I was lucky enough to work with Jeremy and he was a great artist and overall great to be around. He made sure at all times that I was as comfortable as possible and went out of his way to make the process as enjoyable as possible. I can’t recommend this place enough to anyone and everyone. If anyone is wondering about this tattoo shop, it is top of the line and without a doubt one of the best (if not the best) places to get tattooed from in Indiana.

Ron was great. Had fantastic conversations. The price I was quoted at was the price I was charged, so there were no surprises. The tattoo turned out great and you could tell that he took pride in his work and pride in making sure I was happy with the work that was done. Thanks Ron

Got my first tattoo here and had a great experience! Enrique did some awesome flames in my wrist along with some serif text on my forearm. I’ve gotten so many compliments and everyone says it looks really well done— and most importantly I think it looks dope!!! Super clean place, and had a good time; he was really cool and we had a great convo!

I walked in to get my nose pierced without an appointment. Bella was able to get me in right away! She explained the process and walked me through all of it. I felt very comfortable and excited for her to be doing my nostril piercing. She was amazing and I highly recommend her! My next ones will be done with her!

This was my second visit to Grade A at their Glenbrook location. My tattoo artist Ron did an awesome job. He did not rush through my visit, he made sure I got exactly what I wanted and even stayed after close to finish.We are already planning another visit to spruce up some existing art! Definitely worth it!

I highly recommend this shop! Allen Bracknell did my tattoo and he killed it! I will never go to another artist again. I did have to wait a little while but it was well worth the wait. The crew was so polite and sweet to me. They made me feel very welcome.

Allen Bracknell & his team at Grade A took REALLY good care of me. Prices are beyond reasonable & it was a pleasure to work with them. I’m very happy with how my tattoo came out & the quality of work. I strongly recommend Allen at Grade A.

Review №24

Edit to response:You may have me confused with someone else. This has nothing to do with the deposit. Your employee was late to the appointment by 45 minutes and then lied to us that he was working on the images for my friends when all he had was the print out of the images they sent. He had made no changes to them. He talked over us every time one of us was trying to say something. We had booked him for the day with three tattoos. Something fun for us since my friends and I had not seen each other in four years. I dont care that he couldnt do mine for whatever reason he decided to give. I care that he was unprofessional. I really wanted to support a local business and local artists but I will just go back to artists I know from previous work in other states.

Review №26

Just got done with second lobe piercings and a daith. I have never gone to a professional for piercings, but Grade A made it easy to do. Scheduled an appt. online and was asked a few questions by the front desk before I met with the piercer (didnt catch his name). I got the basic earrings for both and I thought it was reasonably priced for three piercings + equipment ($140/$90). The whole process was finished in about thirty minutes. I appreciated that the piercer had me check his spots before he started and asked me if I wanted a countdown or not. I found the piercer to be efficient and succinct, which might be off-putting for people who are new to piercings, but he still answered all my questions and gave all the info I needed for the next few weeks. Definitely a good experience! Thank you!

Lo is an amazing piercer! He was professional and very clean! He also pierced my daughters noze and her friends. He kept them both very calm and explained everything he was doing throughout the entire process. Isaac just did a very inportant tattoo on me yesterday. He does amazing free hand work! This tattoo was everything I wanted and more! We joked and talked about a lot of things! He will be who I continue using for all of my tattoos! All of the staff there are overall amazing people and make you feel like you are at home! Only place I will go for piercing or tattoos!

I came in looking for a nose piercing and was told the price was gonna be $50 the entire service was amazing I’m 16 so my parents had to sign off and there was no lengthy paperwork like Claire’s gives and it made the entire process so much faster. No appointment needed and I only waited 10 minutes max in the lobby went to the room and the piercing too less than 5 min it was the best experience ever!! I definitely recommend coming in for a piercing!

So I went to grade A on North clinton in Fort Wayne IN. I took my daughter to get a Naval piercing and her piercer was this guy named Brad. When I tell you he was excellent, he was excellent. My daughter is a big cry baby, so when it was time to get the procedure done he was very soothing, I loved the cleanliness of his station, and was just a nice guy over all. I very much recommend that you go to this guy. And yes I will be back soon for either me or for the rest of my kids. It went by pretty quick as well. This guy is all about getting you in and getting you out as soon as possible. Love it

Do not under any circumstances go to this business for tattoos! I booked an appointment for an upper arm tattoo with Timmy, paid $200 for design and down payment eight months in advance, and when it came time to do my tattoo he ghosted me completely claiming he needed to reschedule a few weeks but couldnt give me a date then literally never responded again. He refuses to answer me on Instagram and he STOLE MY $200 WHEN I BARELY HAVE ANY MONEY TO KEEP MYSELF FED AND IT WAS CHRISTMAS!!

Got tatted by Allen on a Saturday around Jan and told by the shop that he would be 4 hours late. After his arrival I didnt get tatted for another three hours after the initial delay!! First Session ended around 10pm and was told That the tat has not been completed and would need to come in the next day. Same fashion With the second session where the tat Started 3 hours later than the time scheduled and it didnt end until 11pm and was again told the work is not completed. Was told to call in to reschedule which I did I called the next day and session was set for the 23rd May. Decided to call in to ensure everything are set and was planning to ask for the session not to be delayed but then was told I was not scheduled in(no common sense to call me and let me know)Basicallyy I have paid $2500 for an incomplete tattoo

We found here literally the best tattoo artist in a states. Because we’ve been to a lot. Because we were working with about 15-20 artists in our life. So just highly recommend to this place and especially artist Isaac Roque!!He is just the best young talented artist!You will never regret to work with him. We will came back to Indiana only for his work again.

I got my first tattoo from Timmy in 2016 and ever since, he’s my go-to artist in Fort Wayne! He’s professional, kind, patient, and does his best every time! He is a natural at what he does, and definitely strives for perfection. Out of my 16 tattoos, Timmy has done 12. If you’re in Fort Wayne and need an experienced, professional artist, go see Timmy at Grade A on North Clinton!

Worst tattoo experience of my life. Allen Failed epically...he was rude, and even insulted me at times. He was late and would disappear hours at a time. Didn’t cover my leg after first session and used same ink as night before left open all night. Gave me a poor quality tattoo and charged me $2200 for a $700 tattoo. I tried to walk in the beginning after waiting 4 hours for the first design and Aric talked me into staying even say he would pay for it if I didn’t like it...I regret not leaving. After waiting 6 weeks And multiple text he finally refunded $200 which really is a joke. This place stole $1200 from me and wasted two days of my life. The owner really need to understand what is really going on because my situation was wrong in ever way. My advise would to sit down with your artists and agree on design, quality, time and price before you ever make an appointment. I feel like the owner should literally put a camera on Allen and really watch and listen to how he treats customers. I chose him from work online I seen him do and I swear I didn’t get that guy. Rodney from Wicked ways did a lion on my ankle that was 10 times the quality and only charged me $475...I have never left a bad review on anything in my life and it had to on something that will be on my body for life! I can’t convey how bad this situation was and Grade A really should apologize for how I was treated as well as refund me at least an additional $1000 while correcting Allen for how shady he really is. I Would honestly just not deal with Allen or Aric without the owner babysitting the whole situation!

Review №91

I got an industrial piercing last week and the middle of the bar started digging into my ear making a very sore indention in it. I went back to Grade A to fix it or to give me a bent barbell or bend the one I got with the piercing. A different piercer said the only thing I could do was to take it out and get it repierced. He said I could go to Spencer’s to look for a bent barbell and they’d put it in for me. I went to Spencer’s and the lady there was very helpful. She informed me that it should have been pierced at a different angle due to the anatomy of my ear. They didn’t have bent barbells but she helped me find some hoops for it. She recommended I try other and more professional places in town if I wanted to try a bent barbell. I find it sad that the worker at Spencer’s knew more than either of the piercers at Grade A. I am angry that it wasn’t done right the first time and now I have to go through the pain and inconveniences. I may have to get it repierced anyway but would never go back to Grade A for that or anything else. I’ve been getting body piercings for 24 years and this is the worst experience ever.

AH-MAZING!! Ive gotten 2 tattoos from the Grade A in Glenbrook Mall and they turned out pretty well-done. But both my nose piercing and industrial wee done at the location on Clinton. I really do appreciate that this place accepts walk-ins -- because if I have to schedule then I have too much time to overthink and second guess myself. My friend and I walked into the shop and Brad greeted us and talked to us like equals -- except one obviously had more knowledge on the subject than the other! :D We were in and out in under 30 minutes. He was clean, fast, efficient and well-mannered. I liked the fact that he blared music while doing the piercing and made us very comfortable. Thank you Brad!

Review №98

First off, Im not entirely sure how to voice my dissatisfaction from the Grade A on Clinton. From the phone consultation, the moment we walked into the shop, the artist we were assigned to (Paul), the other co-workers, and overall unprofessionalism from everybody involved in my whole process, was unmatched. The woman that did our phone consultation asked us to send photo emails of the tattoo ideas to give our artist, which we did. My first impression of Grade A, just from my Consultation, was poor. But I didnt want to judge just from that first conversation. Upon arriving for our scheduled appointment they asked us, again, to email our photos to give our artist....already giving us the impression that Paul has yet to even get an idea of what we are putting on our body. This proved to be true as when Paul introduced himself, he stated he has yet to sketch them or even lay eyes on the emailed photos we sent 5 days prior. Not to mention hardly anyone working in the establishment were wearing masks. Paul, however, is who ruined the entire experience. I cant quite describe our conversations with him, but they were so confusing and his eyed fluttered/closed consistently as if he was medicated. We had them keep our deposit and we left, without tattoos. I forgot to mention, while waiting to meet Paul the first time, another artist at the front desk tells a customer patiently waiting, to wait longer, so that he could finish his game of chess...talk about great customer service. We decided to book an appointment the next day at Studio 13, 5 minutes down the road from Grade A. The ENTIRE process was a complete 180 at Studio 13. Please, if care at all about PROFESSIONALISM, CUSTOMER SERVICE, QUALITY OF WORK....DO NOT GO TO GRADE A TATTOO.
