Steve your work is amazing.  Today my husband is getting our new daughters name on his arm...The sketch alone had me in tears...Thank you!! I can't wait for you to finish his upper sleeve for our baby!!! Steve already finished my husbands right sleeve which turned out better than i could expect....if  you want quality in art, price and time..then this is the place to go....Thanks again Steve!
Review Source:This place is absolutely amazing. Â I had a sleeve done by the incomparable Steven Campbell, and I have never been more impressed by a tattoo artist than I am by him. Â He was fast, efficient, flexible, reasonably priced, and fun to talk to (which helps if you are sitting there for 8 hours).
He helped me take a design I'd been working on for about three years, including a hand drawn scribble fest that looked like a four year old made it, and turn it into something I have on my body now, that I absolutely love. Â His prices were really good, better than most places I've checked. Â He changed several things last minute, and incorporated two other pieces into the new work, making it all look like one big piece.
Can't say enough good things about the dude. Â Check the pictures for my sleeve when it has healed. Â I highly recommend this place, especially Steven Campbell, for all your tattooing needs.
I would recommend Exile to anyone looking to get a tat. These guys working here are super legit. My boyfriend and I both got tattoos...he is having a half sleeve done, and I had two done (wrist and side), all by Steven Campbell. I'm amazed by all the tiny details and gorgeous shading Steven is able to create. Dude is amazing. Super nice, too. I highly suggest him.
Review Source:I chose this place because of an artist that tattoos here, Jessie Hopeless. The parlor is small, but very nice and clean. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.
Jessie herself is absoultely incredible as an artist. I'd have to say her work is some of the best stuff in the city. It does come at a cost that isn't for everyone, and that's a 12-mo wait to have her tattoo you (I waited about 10 mos for my piece she did).
I would say the wait is very worth it, if you are considering a large, detailed/ornate piece. You really won't be disappointed. Also located in one of my favorite areas of town off of 39th st by KU.
Jessie Hopeless is beyond awesome! Â My latest tattoos are amazing. Â Even people who don't care for tattoos compliment my newest one.
The shop is very clean, warmly decorated and very welcoming. Â I have been to other shops that make you feel as if you need to know the secret password to get help. Â Not here. Â From the time I called to make my consultation appointment through my last appointment I was treated very well.
Jessie is definitely an artist. Â I have other tattoos, which are really good, but my latest on my arm is without a doubt is the best. She didn't miss any details and added little touches to make my baseball style pin up look so real.
If you can't tell, I highly recommend Jessie. Â Now....what can I get next?
i found the other listing for the old address and left a review there too but this is the new location. Â i have a few tattoos that could be better so i am way picky now that im a bit older and i did a ton of research and found this place. Jessie is amazing, and i love all her work!!!!!!!! Â she did a piece on my forearm and it came out great. i cant say enough good things, you need to go here!!!
Review Source:I've been getting work done by Danny for several years now, and am always impressed with his quality of work, and professsionalism. The staff there is great , always friendly, and they always call to confirm your appt. which is extremely helpful. I've known many people that have went to Danny, Steve and Jessie, and they couldn't be more pleased with their tattoo, and experience.
Review Source:I already posted this review, but then I noticed that the reviews were for the old address. I thought it in everyone's best interest to re-post with the correct address.
This place has an intoxicating aroma of antiseptic that puts you at ease. I was selling a turntable to someone at a different tattoo shop, and when I walked in I was punched in the face with the stink of incense. What's that all about? I want it to smell like someone just cleaned up after a murder. Like some methodical serial killer who uses industrial chemicals to eradicate any trace of blood sweat or tears is on their payroll as their cleaning person. Mission accomplished.
I also love the fact that when you walk in you're greeted immediately with a friendly hello. I've been to too many shops where the employees are too busy with a magazine to even look up when you walk in. These places can be intimidating for a lot of people, and the last thing someone who is getting their first tattoo needs is to feel like they don't belong there. (Mercy Seat, A-1, I'm looking in your direction.) At his old shop Danny used to play the oldies station throughout the waiting area, which I always liked. I can't remember if they do that at the new location.
Danny is pretty well known around town as one of the best, but the other two artists here are pretty great too. I checked out their portfolios online and was impressed. I've been going to Danny for about six years now, and my oldest stuff by him still looks great. He is a friendly guy and constantly asks how I'm doing, and if he sees that I'm hurting, if he's on a spot known for its sensitivity, he'll apologize. I mention this because when I was getting my stomach tattooed at another shop, and I asked for a break, the guy got all pissy, and made me feel like a total puss.
The new shop can be hard to find a decent parking spot, but the new neighborhood is so much better that it doesn't matter.
Due to his ever growing reputation, there is a wait to get in with him. I usually call and make an appointment to talk to him, then I make another appointment to get the actual work done. He does keep blocks of time set aside for walkins though, as do all the people, I just find it easier to book ahead. I've heard a lot of people complain about this, but come on, you're going to have that for the rest of your life. Do you want to get it immediately, and risk getting a shitty tattoo, or do you want it to look good?
I refer people to this shop all the time. And will continue to do so.
