I don't have any tattoos or piercings, but will recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Before I dated one of the artists that worked here, I knew nothing about tattoos. I wouldn't have been able to tell a good quality tattoo from a poor one. But after spending a year around these people, I have learned so much. Everyone who works here is passionate about what they do, and they are always trying to better themselves. They make sure their work is the best possible quality, and they're all so friendly. It's a great atmosphere, and they do the best quality tattoos/piercings in the area. So if you're thinking of getting tattooed, go to FOB!
Review Source:Great experience, will return.
My friends and I decided to get piercings and we picked this place willy nilly. The shop was clean and the guy at the front desk was helpful and friendly. The prices was more than reasonable. We were pierced by Irene, she is adorable btw. She was quick and very knowledgeable. I am going to go back for some tattoos. Highly recommended.
Just got a tattoo from Zeke! I can only say great things. Professional, on time, affordable and it is amazing! He was wonderful to work with. I got more than I expected. Some tattoo shops can tend to be "snobbish." Freaks was far from it. They were even playing Christmas music. So much more professional than the other shops in KC. I would give this experience 6 stars if I could. Great all the way around. Thank you Freaks on Broadway!
Review Source:After all the helpful yelp tips (yips?) I was convinced that I would like Freaks. Â They were right. Â Everyone at Freaks was nice and professional. Â Phish did my nose piercing and did a great job. Â
I did find that they only have someone piercing until 9 p.m. and nose piercings are currently $30. Â Don't forget to tip your piercer.
I went here to gt my nose re-pierced. Â It was a short wait, the receptionist was friendly, and the girl that did the piercing was very professional. The place looked clean, and had a very professional presentation to it, from the waiting room to the back room. Â I recommend for piercing.
Review Source:Still not my best tattoo experience, but definitely better than some places I have seen. My freshman year in college, I had a friend DYING to get a tattoo behind his parent's backs... and being the bad influence I am, i took him and got one with him so that he wouldn't be scared! haha. So good memories, and an okay tattoo later, I'm okay with freak's on broadway!
Review Source:I got a tattoo colored and another similar one done from scratch. Â Zeke did an excellent job. Â I was completely happy with the work he did, in fact I left having given him a much larger tattoo that he said he'd draw up and email to me a few weeks later. Â After literally months of trying to get him to answer the phone or answer an email I have given up on trying to get a tattoo here. Â If you can afford to work with him face to face and force him to be accountable for his promises you will probably have a better time. Â I'm just pissed because I really liked his work and wanted to get more.
Review Source:Freak's was there for me to make the worst mistake of my life...and they were also there to help me fix it! So my praise is high, and my memories are hazy, as I once decided to pierce my eyebrow with my friend visiting from LA after a few hours of 'celebration'.
No. It wasn't painful and I think the staff was generally very helpful and efficient. And I loved my piercing for all of eight hours before I realized with one great paralyzing look in the mirror that the chrome bolt in my eyebrow just wasn't me!
So day 2, I set out to Freaks in hysterics needing it to be taken out, desperately, I was naively worried it would scar horribly and I would be left somehow disfigured. But I was reassured this wouldn't happen by the wonderful lady who helped me unscrew the piercing from my face...and without charge! And although she could have easily made me feel like a 'freak' (no pun intended) for wanting to undo my little act of rebelliousness, she absolutely did not. She was so genuinely nice about the whole thing, and I will always be grateful to her because of it!
Now I only regard Freaks with fondness but I hope I don't think of it too often after another 'celebration' for fear I might wake up the next day with a huge butterfly tattoo on my shoulder and a lip ring!
When I finally summoned the courage to get a tattoo, two baristas recommended Freaks to me. "Talk to Chris," they both said. And they didn't steer me wrong. He helped me decide on size and placement, and the art deco flower I got on my ankle looks great. I like his work enough that he did my second tattoo too!
All of the artists at Freaks on Broadway seem professional. Clean work areas, quick work and advice on what not to do -- such as when Chris told my daughter she shouldn't get color since she tans -- are all evident at Freaks. The place practically gleams, and that's what you want to see when people are using their needles ... on you.
Price-wise I think Freaks is fair too. If you're in a hurry, it's good to call ahead because they're popular and you'll end up waiting otherwise. Be sure to tip your artist if you like his or her work. These artists have their own tats to get too!
I went with my friend this past weekend - she had a large tattoo done. Â The facilities were clean and they have private rooms so you don't have to be on display for everyone to see. Â Her artist was Justin Duncan, and he was very talented so she didn't bleed at all. Â Saturday is a crazy busy day for them, so you'll want to make an appointment if you need it done on a Saturday. Â They have computers with tattoo ideas that you can scroll through, but there's not a large variety. Â You'd be best to bring in your own art or concept.
