After researching tattoo shops in St. Louis for my first tattoo I decided on Tower Classic Tattooing. Â I was a walk-in on a Saturday, and took in my own design that I wanted done. Â The shop was outstanding - clean, lots of city character, and a great atmosphere. Â The friendly staff greeted me, reviewed my design with an artist, and explained the entire process. Â My artist, Bryan Davis, was excellent - friendly, talkative, and was a perfectionist when it came to ensuring my tattoo exactly matched my custom design request. Â I couldn't have been more pleased with the entire experience - my tattoo turned out PERFECT, and I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a tattoo. Â If it's your first, you won't be disappointed - the staff will make you feel at ease, and ensure you are happy. Â I rarely review any stores, shops, or services, but I was so pleased with this shop that I really wanted others to know that this is an A+ establishment, especially if you have never had a tattoo and are looking for a quality place with an outstanding staff. Â The price was also great!
Review Source:I recently went in to Tower Classic and had work done by Lauren B. Â I moved around the corner from the shop in July, and was really excited to check it out. My initial experience walking in was one of astonishment. Â There was so much to look at. Â The owner of this shop has really thought about every detail. Vintage tattoo art on the walls, old-school barber chairs and repurposed furniture. I seriously see something new and interesting every time I visit.
I was greeted by a super nice guy when I walked in who gave me a tour and described the significance of some of the aforementioned memorabilia while Lauren B finished up with her client.
The tattoo I got from Lauren B. was on my forearm, and was the least painful tattoo I have to date.  It also healed faster than any tattoo I have had previously.  Lauren is attentive, interactive, and cool as hell.  She stayed true to my original request and added her own suggestions.  I ended up with a piece of art that I am very  poproud of, and I will be back for many more.
This is hands down the most aesthetically pleasing tattoo shop I have ever seen. Â The atmosphere is laid back, but that does not mean these artists do not take their work seriously. Â The moment you walk in you will be greeted with a hello and you will also notice that cleanliness is a top priority. Â
Every tattoo here is well-referenced and of the highest quality. Â Do a little research on these artists...their work will stand for itself.
If you want a bright, bold, clean tattoo that sticks...this is the place to go.
