Sean did an awesome job! This was my husband and myself, first tattoo. Sean was very accommodating, worked with our schedule and added his own twist to make our first tattoos unique. We highly recommend Sean at metro studio ink! We are already planning our next one 🤩

Everyone here was friendly and professional. I worked with Kennedy and she is amazing. Worked with me to get exactly what I was hoping for...no I will correct that statement with I got better than I was hoping for. Have another appointment with her and looking forward to it. I would highly recommend her.

Sean Thompson came highly recommended!I have had issues in the past with fine line work. Sean put that to rest!Clean, painless and his attention to detail is more than I could have asked for! Hes my artist for life!

We waited a while beyond our reservation but you can’t rush an artist. Sean added some great personal touches to our design concept that made the final tattoo even better than we had imagined. Well done and highly recommended!

Sean Thompson is an incredible tattoo artist and a great dude!!! Highly recommended him!

Several great experiences here so far. Four different people in my family have gotten a tattoo from Huck at this location and he did an amazing job with every single one. Very talented, professional and friendly staff. Nothing but good things to say about Huck and Metro Studios Tattoos, super recommended.

I wish I could leave a review with zero stars… I came in and made an appointment, came in and did the paperwork and then sat in the lobby for 40 mins and no one ever came back. Just people going in and out to smoke. Ended up leaving. Waste of time! Don’t bother!

Sean was absolutely amazing with the work he did on my favorite tattoo this far! Professional, clean, listened to what I wanted and just did an outstanding job! Will definitely be back for more and would highly recommend!

Kinda obsessed w this place. My daughter and i have gotten 12 tattoos here. The staff is amazing! We feel so comfortable! Sean Thompson has the most amazing eye for detail. Line work is so impressive. Absolutely recommend this shop..

Sean was incredible, he was so patient w me and helped me so much and has the perfect eye for the tattoo i wanted!! i recommend him 100%!!!

Sean was amazing! I got my first tattoo and it turned out better than the picture I gave him! I will definitely go back to him. So very happy with the tattoo and how he got the detail of it so perfect!

Sean and all the other staff were great. Professional, clean, good vibes, and obviously great work. Highly recommend.

Best piercing experience yet! Joanne came in on her day off and pierced both mine and my husbands ears. She was super enjoyable to be around and very informative. 10/10 would reccomend getting pierced here. The gentleman at the front desk was also super friendly and inviting. Definitely my new go to spot!

Sean is amazing! He did dandelion tattoos for me and my mom, and they turned out perfect! I’ve never seen such perfect and detailed tattoos. Definitely recommend!

I went for a consult with Sean. He came with great ideas for a tattoo that my son drew before he died. Sean was amazeballs!!! He chanelled my son, mom, and dad and went to work. I beyond happy with my new ink. Fabulous job!

After moving away from my previous local shop I was nervous to find a new place locally... after checking out a few others around the area and not so impressed I found Huck and he’s been awesome. Had a few sessions with him so far and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! He gets my style with out me having to bring in a bunch of references. A legit artist! Art work has been solid and couldn’t be more happy... highly recommend him plus he’s an all around great guy!!!!

Joann was amazing and provided a very comfortable environment for my sister and I to get our piercings!! She was very informative and it is clear she is skilled at what she does. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and I will definitely be going back.

Joann is the most amazing tattoo artist Ive ever encountered. I had 6 tattoos before finding her by various artists at different studios and none of them compare at all. I sent her a picture of what I wanted and she transformed that tattoo into 1000x better than the picture or my hope for that tattoo and put that on my skin. She will be the only artist that I ever let touch my skin again and I look forward to her fixing my other tattoos to make them look as good as the one she gave me. Great pricing but, damn, she under charged for the work of art she put on me. Ive unfortunately paid way more for less!

The owner is awesome and the artists are true professionals.

I highly recommend this studio, all of the artists are obviously very knowledgeable. Working with Sean was awesome and the memorial tattoo he did for my grandma is beautiful

Sean is an amazing artist and he does amazing work! I will definitely be recommending him to all my friends.

Made an appt for a navel piercing, the lady on the phone was a bit rude but we went anyway. Got there and when the lady ‘greeted’ us VERY rudely, including using profanities and acting like she was totally put out that were patronizing the business. Threw a clipboard down, said fill this out, and walked away. We decided to take our $$ and support another business. This kind of attitude might work in a big city but I can promise you, it will not fly in Howell. Best of luck to this new business but I will not recommend them!

I called Metro on September 10th wanting an anti-eyebrow piercing, JOANN informed me that they didnt have any surface bars. So I went out on a whim and asked if she did dermals, and to my surprise she does! She told me to head in around 6:30 and she would help me OUT. When I got there she was super sweet and helped me fill out the paperwork and pick the jewelry I wanted. When it came time for the piercings I was super nervous, for absolutely no reason! She did an amazing job talking me through each one, and they look PERFECT 😍 I honestly couldnt be happier about the whole experience!💜

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Best experience ever. Joann is an amazing artist and person. I first seen her work at the Cleveland tattoo convention so I had to add her on facebook to see more of her work and I absolutely loved it. Ive had a ton of different artists tattoo on me and she is the first on to make me feel completely comfortable and welcomed. She has done my permanent eye liner which is so awesome and Ive had her work on filling in my sleeve which I absolutely love. I live about 3 hrs away in Ohio and I most definitely will be making the trip to Michigan for her to tat on me a lot more! Also the city i live in has a few good tattoo artists but I would rather drive 3 hrs for her than go to my own town because she made me feel so welcome and made my husband feel welcome as well and the Best part is she does Amazing work!!! Im already searching and planning my next tattoos i would like her to do. I HIGHLY recommend Joann!!!!!!! The shop was also clean and I love the set up and the other artist that was there at the time was polite and made me feel welcome as well! Thank you so much Joann for such an amazing experience and such amazing work!!!!

Joan was amazing, shes the most down to earth artist Ive met in a while, super friendly and professional. The work she did for me was incredible and I love it. I highly suggest you see Joan if you have any tattoo needs or questions shes the one to go to.

I had a tattoo done by Joann and she was very nice and did a great job on my tattoo! 10/10 would recommend. She even went in on her day off to fit me in to get my tattoo finished:)

Joann did an amazing job on mine and my friends tattoos. She made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Very cool, humble chick. I highly recommend her and cannot wait to book my next tattoo!

Turned out exactly how I wanted and it was a great deal!

I got my tat done by Igor and was super impressed. Actually cried in the car cause I was so happy and wanted this piece forever. He made my dream come alive. Also I recently had Igor make me a piece from his eye. I gave him free range and it turned out so fricken amazing! Both artists are super cool. Britt seems to be an excellent artist as well. The price is right for the art you get, trust me. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting their first tat, new one or a good touch up.

I literally JUST LEFT from getting my Ashley (bottom lip) pierced staff was AWESOME, FRIENDLY, explained everything. Shop was amazingly cleaned whole atmosphere was great!!!! Piercer was great DEFINITELY GETTING MORE DONE!!!!!!!

I received an awesome tattoo done by Jeff “Huck”. The attention to detail is very impressive and his knowledge of tattooing is equally impressive. I really enjoyed my conversation with Huck while getting it done. He and the entire staff were extremely friendly and actually made the process fun. I am so happy I stopped in after being told by another artist from another shop that he would not do my piece. Huck, on the other hand, right away said he could do it. I am very happy with my tattoo and just as happy with shop. I’ve already scheduled my next tattoo.

Joann is an amazing Artist made my boyfriend and I feel right at home. :3 I love this place!!!!!

Well one of the best tattooers i know works there his name is Sean.. Work is outta this world..

Had my tattoo done there. It looks great

This was an amazing experience. I wanted a cover up, the job done by Jeff Hatch was outstanding! He was personable, knowledgeable, and very skilled. Jeff was professional and has high standards of quality and sterile technique. I was very pleased with the outcome of my cover up, I would certainly recommend and I will also return for future work. Definitely a shop to visit if you are looking for a great tattoo artist!

Joanna overcharged me for my tattoo and was very egotistical. She made comments that made me feel bad about myself. And kept stopping and starting allowing my skin to swell and get red to the point she had to put numbing gel on to be able to finish the tattoo. She seemed very distracted throughout the tattoo and got very impatient when waiting for my fiancee for 5 min to get there to pay her. She seemed very self entitled and condescending about how i was able to pay for the tattoo.

Igor did matching tattoos for my mom, my brother, and myself. Super funny and made me less nervous since it was my first tattoo. They look amazing. 100% recommend!

Jeff did my tattoo, was super simple, clean, and of quality. Jeffs a cool dude and super easy to be around as are all the guys and gals there

We had our appointment with Igor who was so patient and professional with both my wife and I. Our tattoos look great! Everyone at Metro are great and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much for the awesome work!

Shop was clean and the artists were knowledgeable, professional and welcoming. Jeff did an amazing job making our ideas come to fruition. Great work on our mother/daughter tattoos, they turned out perfect and we love them.

The location is great, right in the heart of downtown Howell. It was very clean and the staff was friendly. I got my work done by Eric Static and I love it. He took the time to capture exactly what I wanted. He offered suggestions that made the tattoo better than I imagined. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new tattoo. I suggest making appointment that way you have quality time. The picture does not give the tattoo justice. Not all tattoo parlors are the same but this one was exceptional. I will be back for my next one.

Been going here for 3 years always get the best professional treatment from all staff and owner would highly recommend them for your next tattoo

Amazing quality and amazing people! All of the staff are incredibly nice and very talented artists. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Took my son for his first tattoo for his 18th birthday. What a fantastic experience! Excellent, warm, friendly service. Would very highly recommend! Jeff was awesome!

My experience at Metro Studios was great. Britt was very accommodating and friendly. I love my tattoo and would definitely return for another. Great price as well!

First ever tattoo for both my best friend and myself. Igor was awesome and our small, simple pieces were done to perfection. The entire experience was fantastic. 10/10 would recommend.

Walked in and had some questions about my tattoo. Tex helped me right away and was extremely helpful. Did my tattoo right away and was amazing with explaining everything and making sure I was comfortable.

Excellent customer service! Britt helped me pick a good placement for my tattoo and was extremely accommodating and friendly. I will definitely be back!

Best tattoo shop ever!!! Definitely wil be returning!

Great place! Brit did an awesome job on my sleeve. Would recommend these guys to anybody looking for a friendly environment and great prices!

Sean was amazing!! Can’t wait for more!!

I had my first tattoo done at Metro, they were very inviting. All around a very great experience.

First time I got ink (a Fox my granddaughter drew). The artist, Britt, was very attentive to the smallest detail in creating an exact copy of a memory. Very personable and informative. Highly recommend!

Erik did my tattoo. Awesome guy awesome shop. Friendly staff will definitely be going back.

Ive gotten quite a few tattoos done by Igor and Ive always been very pleased with my artwork and get nothing but positive feedback from anyone that sees my tattoos definitely the best shop in Livingston County in my opinion.

I wanted to get a tattoo for my grandchildren of which I have 7 I told the tattoo artist “Huck” that I wanted butterflies one for each and the tattoo he designed was beautiful. I highly recommend this place very professional and friendly.

Great experience! Wonderful customer service! Will definitely return to get more ink from Britt!

Got my first tattoo done here by Tex and had a great experience! Super friendly staff and a welcoming place overall.

Great experience!!

Got an awesome tattoo from Igor today. Such an awesome guy and great artist.

Was in last week. Artists and owners were great people! Would definitely recommend. Metro studios is a cool little addition to historic downtown Howell.

This Place is AMAZEBALLS! Best tattoo parlor i have been in for quality work with that non commercial experience. As a customer I felt completely confident in my artist (Igor) and completely comfortable in the environment. If you are looking to get some ink work done GO TO THIS PLACE! worth every Penny.

They are great, place is clean, the guys are great and their prices are good...

I went in on a Saturday to check out the artists first hand. They are the real deal. It was nice to visit a tattoo shop that was friendly and professional. I got both my elbows done 1 1/2 weeks later by Tex. It was exactly what I wanted. It was an easy conversation going over the plan. I didnt feel pressured into a different tattoo. Thanks guys I will be back soon for more ink.

Igor is not only a great artist but an amazing person as well. He has done every one of my tattoos and I dont think Ill go to another artist.

I called on Wednesday 7/25/18 and spoke with Tex. I explained that my sister was in from out of state and we would like to get a tattoo together but, she was leaving to head back on Friday morning, so Thursday was the ONLY day. I knew it was EXTREMELY short notice and the odds of being able to get an appt was slim. Tex said to text him the photo ideas and once he was done working on his current client, he would call me and we could discuss the details but he said he could see about fitting us in. I text him several photos and waited and waited and waited. I text him again, several hours after the shop had closed, still no response. I called on Thursday morning as soon as the shop opened, 11am. I asked if Tex was working and they said he was not in today. I explained the situation and they asked me to hold, suddenly a new voice is on the line and they sounded half asleep. They did not introduce themselves and we had an awkward exchange of pleasantries, once I figure out that I was speaking to Tex, I explain again that I followed his instructions and I wasnt sure if I had the proper phone number. He confirms that I did have the correct number and he said he did receive my messages, long awkward silence.... I ask if we can schedule an appt for today and he says that Friday would be better, I remind him that my sister will be gone and I also say that I completely understand that this was super short notice.My complaint isnt that he couldnt fit us in, it was the unprofessional way it was handled. Why couldnt you reply to my text with a short message letting me know you got my text and there were no openings available? Why when I called and asked if Tex was working, I was lied to and told he wasnt, yet suddenly hes on the phone?! I was super excited about possibly finding a new artist to work with and I was more than willing to drive an hour from Detroit, to Howell. I guess Ill keep looking.

I came from New York and found this shop, very talented friendly artists and super clean, highly recommended, will definitely pass by again.

Very professional and helpful. I would recommend it to anybody

Awesome place to go to. Very helpful and friendly. They did a great job.

My wife and I got tattoos recently and were very pleased with the staff and experience. Our tattoo artist, Britt, was great to work with and we would highly recommend.

I can’t believe how sociable, kind, and professional Igor was. My tatto is way more than I exspected. Thank you Igor, and thank you Metro Studios!

Great work and almost painless tattooing

Best place to go!

This tattoo shop is amazing!!! They give b amazing customer service and tattoos.

Cool place with passionate staff!
