Love my piercing and stuff is always nice. Thought I needed my earring replaced but they just put it back In and closed it ! Appreciate the help

The vibe, the place, and the people are awesome. The artist are solid and the art work is great. Recommend all day!!!!!!

Everyone was so nice and welcoming. I mainly interacted with Audrey, at the main desk, and Joy, who changed my nose piercing. Joy was sweet, easy to talk to, and super gentle. She was off the clock but still took the time to help me out. I definitely recommend and would go to them again

I have and Im sure will continue to get wonderful and friendly service from Michigan Ave tattoo. Audrey at the front is always the most helpful, Joy is quite literally always a joy to work with, and I feel so awful, but the other piercist, whom Im so sorry, Ive forgotten their name but they are also amazing. They are all incredibly gentle, informative, and friendly and I cant see myself going anywhere else in the near future for my tattoo and piercing plans!

I got a spontaneous leg tattoo here by Ryan a couple weeks ago. The shop was spotlessly clean, the entire staff was welcoming and professional, and the quality of the tattoo was equally amazing! Ryan was friendly, professional, and also fast, which was appreciated because the spot was definitely a not-so-painless one. I will definitely be returning.

I started going to Michigan Ave back in October, and I have rapidly become a regular. The entire staff is kind, caring and courteous to the entirety of your experience and they genuinely make you feel like family.Joy helped me change my nose piercing, in professional manner and measured and helped me size piercings in a way I have never experienced in any other tattoo shop.Ryan is possibly my favorite tattoo artist of all time and I look forward to getting at least 3 of my sleeves finished by him. Beautiful art, great tableside manner and the slickest tattoos youll see.By far one of the best tattoo shops in the state if not the country.

I have been working with Krista to create a cover up tattoo, and her work has far exceeded my expectations. I gave her a general idea of what I wanted, and she blew me away with her drawing. She is taking the time to make my tattoo just right, and it’s clear that she cares about her work *and* her clients. The location of my tattoo is particularly painful, and she is careful to be as gentle and understanding as possible. Everyone I’ve shown my tattoo progress to is extremely impressed. I can’t wait to see the finished product. I know this is a tattoo I’ll be proud to show the world for the rest of my life.Bonus: great music and fun atmosphere! Tylor had me laughing the whole time. Great crew.

After a long day at work, I was so excited to get a tattoo to commemorate the loss of a loved one. Something small and simple, yet personal. I saw the wonderful reviews and the amazing artistry of the tattoo artist I had an appointment with.On the day of, the artist had opted to do an email consultation because they finished early - they were nice enough about it in their initial text. However, I they should have just done that in the first place to save us both time - they had almost a whole week to do so. Unfortunately, I didnt receive their text until last minute when I was right at the door. I was frustrated by this. Of course, this is not their fault.When I responded that I was going to another place, their tone suddenly became rather condensing and rude. This person should have remained professional, but they decided to be salty about it instead and texted me after the text conversation reached a natural conclusion. Im glad Im not giving them my business if this is how the artist conducts themselves to potential clients. :/

Great piercing experience with Tylor! Super cool, professional and friendly environment. Definitely recommend coming here :)

Krista is a gem & her linework is spectacular!! She was so sweet & hilarious during my session. I am extremely happy with my tattoo. Thank you for everything :)

There was a mix up with my scheduled time in, (bcuz Im dumb and thought my apt was a 2 and it wasnt supposed to be at 1) The girl at the front desk asked if the piercer had time to fit me in and she did! I appreciate them so much for that since I had a 45min drive there 💜 Joy did my nose piercing and shes so great and so fun to talk to!

I went to Ryan to get some work done. Not only was he professional, easy-going, funny and quick, but I received my new favorite tattoo! I’m in love.

Ahhhmazing! Wonderful staff, super cool environment, and fantastic artists.

Cant say enough good things about this place. Tylor is an absolute joy to work with. The shop environment was fun and welcoming, and Tylor did an amazing job. Give them your money!

Amazing place. Best tattoo and piercing shop ever. I get all my work done here. Polite professional and amazing. PS they ?*&%$#! Rock and are PROFESSIONAL AND RESPECTFUL. THE WORK IS HIGH PROFESSIONAL QUALITY.

Your experience here is probably going to depend on the individual artists that youre working for either piercing or tattoos. My ex-wife my daughter and I all worked with Krista we enjoyed very much the quality of her work she was very fair in determining how long she worked on you and shes willing to work well in collaboration.She actually gave advice about restoration work that I wasnt really interested in but it turned out I was wrong that shows somebody whos knowledgeable about their field.

Joy did myself and my friends piercings and she did AMAZING. So professional and clean, and very efficient. She made sure everything was perfect before proceeding and makes you very comfortable. We will be coming here again!

Tylor is the best! Hes so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Myself and three other coworkers went and got peicrings together and we all felt so comfortable and had fun talking with him! I live kind of far from this place and I would have no problem coming back for future peicrings. Hes totally worth the drive!Thanks Tylor!

Its a really good place to get work done. Good vibes as high quality work!Krista is the artist I seen for my appointment. Shes very talented!

I have had several wonderful experiences with Michigan Ave Tattoo. They are very clean, which is so important especially right now. I had my work done by Krista who is so incredibly talented. The time flew right by with her. She is so gentle that it honestly didnt hurt at all. I will absolutely be going back for any work I get in the future.

Tylor was very professional! Tylor made sure we knew everything we needed to know before continuing. He is very talkative, and makes you feel like a long time friend.

I have had two nose piercings and a helix done by Joy. Each time I entered the shop I felt welcome, safe, and respected. She is an exceptional person and professional. I cannot recommend enough!

I had an ear piercing appointment with Tyler. He was awesome! Tyler immediately put me at ease, he explained the procedure and he made sure I understood the care instructions. The staff are friendly, timely, the business was very clean, and Tyler was thoroughly knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place for your body piercings.

Tylor did an amazing job with my septum piercing. He was super friendly and very professional. Everything was explained to me ahead of time & he made sure I was comfortable with each step of the process. They have safety protocols in place & the shop requires an appointment & for you to call when you arrive. I felt safe and well cared for. Top notch outfit with amazing customer service!!

My cousin and i went in last minute and Tylor was amazing. Super sweet, and incredibly calming. I will recommend him to EVERYONE. Thank you so much, Tylor!

I had two piercings done by Tylor a week and a half ago and he was fabulous. He is so thorough when explaining the process and made me feel extremely comfortable. Youll find me coming back here for all of my future piercings!

It was an amazing experience! Tylor is the best ever. Put my mind at ease.

My first tattoo experience could not have been better. I had to make an appointment due to the pandemic and it was easy to do. Joy is a wonderful person to deal with and she wl make sure you are well taken care of.Ryan did my tattoo. He was very professional and cleaned everything really well. He did an excellent job on my tattoo and I couldnt be happier. I will absolutely go back for future work.A very clean tattoo and piercing parlor with wonderful people working there.

Tylor is THE BEST and I would recommend them to anyone!! I went for a nostril piercing with a serious piercing phobia. They were so nice and calm, did not react to or increase my anxiety, and knew exactly what they were doing! Super professional and wonderful. Will be going back for any future piercing needs.

Found this place on a Google map search and called to make sure they were open to the public (due to covid19). It just so happened to be about a half hour before closing and an awesome woman named Joy answered the phone and informed me they were open by appointment only but if I were to get there soon she could accommodate my needs! I was in need of new jewelry for my piercings and she was so helpful! Took my measurements and helped me find exactly what I needed. Extremely cool place with awesome people, I will definitely be a repeat customer!

First time here and first time getting a piercing. Tyler did an amazing job and made me feel very comfortable. Will definitely be back!

I called practically in tears because I couldnt remove my nostril piercings for an MRI. Joy told me to come right in and she could help me out. Not only was she very professional and hygienic, she was also incredibly kind and compassionate. I would highly recommend Joy to anyone looking to get piercings. Thanks so much Joy!

Joy hooked me up with my piercings and she was the best! Super kind and so informative. I will definitely be back again!!!

Excellent staff, clean areas, and works well to get your tattoo just right. Krista is amazing, and will walk with you through your design.

I spent ten hours of my Saturday at Vivid Inks with Cory Torran getting a half sleeve done. I had the greatest experience someone could have getting a tattoo, and that tattoo turned out better than I could have imagined. Cory is an amazing artist, so you can guarantee that whatever tattoo you get will be exactly what you were looking for or better. Everyone who works there are great people and go above and beyond to make sure you are relaxed and comfortable during the whole experience, Cory let me pick out our pandora stations throughout the whole day, ordered us lunch, and was open to any changes or ideas throughout the tattooing process. If you are searching for a new place to get a tattoo, especially if its your first time, you will not find any better place than Vivid Inks.

Ive been to barbers in the wen l live there. This man here is the BEST! NO Barber got my mange right the first time ever.

Great service! Super efficient yet thorough, and Ill very likely go back for all my piercing needs.

Joy is the best....love this place .. affordable and great jewelry, painless piercings.....I cant wait to get a tattoo there next 🙂

Tyler is AMAZING, I called on the same day got and appt with him and he walked me through the whole process (I got a stacked lobe, so two piercings). He took the time to map out where the piercings should be and really listened to me and made my vision a reality!! When I have my next idea, I will definitely be back!!

Got some piercings here from Joy, who was fantastic!! She helped me pick the perfect spot for my cartilage piercing, and was very kind & knowledgeable about all things piercings. She was friendly and made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

This is such a great place. The staff is so welcoming and professional. I have had two tattoos and one piercing there so far. They were able to work well with my scheduling for my most recent tattoo which took 5 sessions. They’re so talented and knowledgeable at what they do. I highly recommend Rob. He is such a creative artist and has a style that’s totally his own. His use of colors are just truly stellar. Joy makes you feel so comfortable and always has a smile on her face. Such great quality all in one place :)

They are not professional. The piercer flaked out twice. Waited weeks for the appointment & I get a call 5 minutes before the appointment to cancel

Called ahead to see if they could do a walk-in earlier today for my second and third sets of earlobe piercings. Tylor did an absolutely amazing job! He made sure to mark the placements carefully and explained everything to me step by step. I barely felt a thing! Will definitely be returning sometime down the road. Thanks again!!

Absolutely love mine and my fiances cresent moon tattoos. They turned out beautiful and also enjoy having my dermal back! Thx Ryan and Joy!

Nice bunch of folks :)

I loved Joy. She’s the piercer. I highly recommend her. She does amazing work and she answered all my questions truthfully. This is the only place I’d ever recommend for any piercing needs. Joy is professional and definitely an expert. It’s the cleanest shop I’ve ever been to. I can’t wait to go back for another piercing!

I recently got a rook piercing done at this establishment by the lovely Joy. She was extremely knowledgeable and helped me decide what would look nice on my ear. It was very clean and a comfortable atmosphere. I will 100% be returning.

Absolutely the best piercing experience I have ever had.I walked in today after having issues with piercings I had done at another local shop. The other local shop did a terrible job and I have been desperate for the last 8 weeks to get it fixed. I had five cartilage piercings done at the other shop, and left with poorly fitting jewelry that caused irritation, and the piercer had messed up the placement of one piercing entirely.Tyler at was amazzzzing. He *cared* about finding the right jewelry for the piercings that needed to get swapped out. I had 3 new piercings done while I was there, and he did everything perfect. He spent time measuring and making sure that placement was exactly where I wanted it. He took extra precautions to keep everything sterile. You can tell he cares a lot about what hes doing and takes pride in his work.Expectations were far exceeded. After visiting today, Im back at home and loving my ears again!

I came in today to have some earrings I had just gotten done 5 days ago replaced. The place I had went for prior had put in too small of a post and it quickly swelled up and I was in a lot of pain.I came in as a walk in and everyone was super friendly and helpful! Tyler (I believe was his name) helped change out the jewelry, and even though it was painful (not their fault), made it a comfortable experience. Any future piercing needs I will be definitely heading straight here and I would highly recommend this place to my friends!

All the people who work there are just great people. David and Joy are awesome. David has done my new tattoo, and Joy some of my piercings. I had an ideal of what I wanted for a tattoo, and he came up with a design that I am so grateful for, and the work is amazing. Joy pierces so well I didnt feel a thing. I walked out feeling like family. Will definitely be back for more. Thank you guys. See you all again soon.

Had a great experience getting my second nostril piercing with Tylor! He’s very professional and knowledgeable, as well as very kind and talkative. I will definitely be coming back for more piercings from him in the future.

Friendly staff and great work

Came in with 3 of my friends for us all to get various piercings. Joy was not only accommodating, kind, and professional, but also warm and caring. Joy not only took the time to talk to each of us all personally about our piercings and the best options for us in terms of placement, jewelry, etc, but also offered us all water and moved extra chairs into their piercing space so my friends and I could all enjoy the experience together. All 4 of us had an incredible experience and we will all definitely be coming back in the future. All of our piercings look great and already on only day two have virtually no redness/swelling and very minimal soreness! Joy is extremely knowledgeable and loves their craft, and is happy to share that knowledge and passion with their clients. My friends and I agree that spending two hours with Joy was the absolute highlight of our weekend!

Gave me a great tattoo perfection at its finest

Great experience every time I go there. Everybody is extremely nice and helpful. The quality of the tattoos are above and beyond any other shop I have gone to. Corey is not afraid of a challenge he took on my cover up without hesitation. Thanks again

Krista made my first tattoo experience awesome. Extremely nice, understanding, and a great artist. I will definitely be coming back.

Vivid Inks was the first place I got a tattoo and I couldnt have been happier. I drew up my own tattoo and sent it in. The artist were able to make the drawing look amazing and exactly how I wanted the tattoo to look. I had my tattoo done by Fox and she did an amazing job. I would recommend anyone thinking about getting a tattoo to come to vivid ink.

Clean, friendly, good work.

I can not begin to express my appreciation for Joy. On a Friday night, we requested 7 different people piercings, but not until one hour before closing. Joy took every single one of us, and did an amazing job. Not only that, but she was so patient and helpful.I highly recommend Vivid Ink and will be using them moving forward.

So clean! And joy was wonderful! Got my medusa pierced.. plan on coming back for more!!

Piercings by Joy are awesome and front desk is so amazing! I went in to get my nose pierced twice on one side and Joy took so much care to make sure both piercings were right. She measured, put in mock rings to make sure I liked the placement, told me what she was doing and was super personable. I had an issue with one piercing about a month later and went in to ask her about it and she took care of it. She is super professional and will be my piercing person from here on.

I just had my first tattoo here by Krista on Saturday and she was awesome. Easy to work with and easy to talk with. It was on my chest so I couldnt see her working but I loved that she kept me updated on what part of that tattoo she was working on. I enjoyed my ink session and cant wait to go back ❤️Tylor was AWESOME! I went in today to have retainers put in before surgery and he was so kind and gentle and also informed me the jewelery the previous piercer that I was going to was using old jewelry so thats why I was having some issues. Ill definitely be sticking with Tylor from now on ❤️ thank you again

Been coming here to see Cory at the recommendation from a close friend for about a year now, and ill never go anywhere else. Amazing artwork, clean environment, just overall amazing shop. 12/10 would recommend!

Joy is an amazing and thorough piercer! I got my nipples pierced and she was so helpful and answered all my questions and really took her time. Very reasonably priced and clean! Best place to get pierced in the area!

It is a super clean shop with welcoming people and beautiful jewelry. I had such a great experience overall and I recommended this to anyone looking to get tattoos or piercings. Cory does amazing detailed work, I will definitely be going back for more.

Was in and out in about 30 mins for a nose piercing. Joy greeted me at the door and was so wonderful from beginning to end. She made me feel very confident in the procedure and was so friendly! PS - she did such a great job that it didnt hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would! Very clean and sterile supplies, along with thorough aftercare instructions - highly suggest!

Awesome tattoo shop the art work is great! Foxx does awesome work! As a combat veteran, the pieces I wanted done are very personal to me and I couldnt ask for better. Thank you for the great work youve done for me. I highly recommend this shop!

I got both my cats tattooed on my arm & Rob did a great job I go 4 touch ups later today I would definitely go back2 get more tattoos

Spent 8 hours getting three incredible pieces for my wife and me. Across different styles, they all came out amazingly.Cory is one of the best artists in the country.

Joy did an amazing job doing my piercing! She was so comforting and gentle (as she could be!) Would definitely go back to her!

This is the best shop I’ve been to hands down, nobody is going to read this long review so the main point is MAKE THIS YOUR GO TO SHOP they are amazing. I got my ears pierced yesterday at another shop in Ypsi, and the guy screwed the backs on telling me it would “stop a lot of the bleeding”. But last night the backs were on so tight I thought I was going to pass out (I think the swelling caused it to be tighter). I called and asked if they would be willing to loosen the backs for me as sure enough they said yes. I forgot her name but there is a woman with dark dreads, and she talked with me about why the other place was wrong and how that could actual cause problems with the ear tissue. She made sure I went home knowing the right method to clean my ears and all of that.

Excellent customer service and talented artists.Thank you Joy and Catmouth Steve! You made 4.5 hours feel like a blink of an eye! Cant wait to come back for my next session :)

Its been almost a year now since i got my nipples pierced and Im perfectly healed with no issues. Great people and service!

Joy is great! Got a daith piercing and she did a wonderful job. Everything is clean. Everyone is friendly. I would recommend this place to a friend!

Super awesome place and I will totally be coming back for more tattoos and piercings! Foxx gave me a little smoky ink blot cat on my inner wrist and I am in LOVE with it!!

Everyone I interacted with was super nice and professional. Joy was very considerate with making sure that I felt good about the entire piercing process.

I was just researching a place locally for a friend.

Love this place! I’ve gotten 2 piercings there and got my daith changed, Joy is one of the nicest people I’ve met and is great at her job!

The staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was warm and lovely. The art was stunning.

Foxx was amazing highly recommend her!!! very clean and professional. Will be going back for more.. best place in town for sure

This place is so amazing. All the workers were very welcoming and it was a great experience. I didn’t feel awkward at all here. Also a clean and cool looking shop. I totally recommend the tattoo artist Foxx!!! She’s super cool and niceand above all, talented. I will be back.

Rob was very unprofessional. My first full day appointment he was 2 hours late and then i realized he double booked his schedule and booted me after only one hour of ink. I gave him a 2nd chance and he called into work sick and notified me an hour in a half before my appointment. The man does not like to show up to work on saturdays apparently. I had multiple appointments scheduled that will now be scheduled with someone else. The shop just lost an easy $1000 bc of him.

Joy was amazing beautiful person very comforting. Thank you so much i will be commimg back.

Loved this place! Highly recommend their services! Ill be back soon!

My No Good Very Terrible Experience with Vivid Inks, their owner, and tattoo artist Dave.I came in for a very simple Umbrella Academy tattoo that I painstakingly created a vector for in Photoshop. When I came in with the printed design, they said no big deal except that their tattoo copier was broken so the artist, Dave, would have to draw it by hand. Ok no biggie. I had made an appointment, and Dave was running late. They said I’d have to wait about a half hour. Ok, I get it art takes time. About 45 minutes later Dave finished up with his other client, and informed me he and the owner (who I was led to believe he was dating) were going to go grab a cigarette break quick. A quick cigarette break turns into a 15-minute food run. Which he then proceeds to eat while sketching my tattoo design up. It’s simple enough, so I figured it would turn out fine even after seeing the sketch. Like he would remember what lines needed to be thicker or thinner and this was just his guide.Spoliers! It came out quite crooked in shape and line density and because its a very simple design that’s super noticeable. So I called for a touch up despite my deep feelings of dread at having to deal with this shop and artist again. Free touch up right? So after being made to go in in person to see what was the problem, they scheduled me for the following Friday at 3. Great.Learning from last time, I was running about 10 minutes late myself and called to see how the shop was running that day to avoid waiting around like last time. When I informed whoever answered the phone that I was running 10 minutes behind and asked how it was looking on their end, he only said he would let the artist know. This led me to believe they were waiting for me and I should hurry. Nope! When I got to the shop, Dave was in the middle of another huge sleeve design and I was told it would be about a half hour. (Yea I’ve heard that before :/)The owner then commented to me, “Oh is your touch up scheduled for today?” At this point she checks their calendar to confirm yes, it is today. Then she proceeds to ignore me without even so much as an apology for clearly forgetting my appointment, and goes to tell Dave he has to ‘quickly do the little umbrella touch up before his appointment at 4.’ He’s still in the middle of the large sleeve tattoo, it’s already about 3:20 and he’s clearly annoyed with her. Because he knows as well as I do that he doesn’t have the time to manage all these tattoos properly. He also ignored me completely, and honestly I probably did him a favor by walking out. I got the distinct vibe that everyone working there was more interested in hanging out with each other than actually running a tattoo shop.TLDR: Poor management, poor work ethic, poor work and absolutely zero customer service. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!

I had a great experience here with Joy. She pierced my nose and was very good at explaining the process to me along with after care. Highly recommended.

Great artists, amazing treatment and great pricing...

Could not be happier with Robs work!!He is an amazing artist!Joy and Christa were very sociable and welcoming and Corey was hilarious!I will never go anywhere else!

Got my eyebrow and libret repierced. Got me in same day. Didnt bother her that Im a flincher. Would definitely recommend.

If you want a piercing and a satisfying customer experience, come here!

Got my libret and eyebrow repierced, staff was excellent. Set up consult for ink work.
