Best ink in the midwest !

by Cowboy51 at Citysearch

Eastside Ink is the best. Nikki, Lucky and Rickaferd are friendly, helpful and truly great artists. I have tats from a few different shops, but my last three have been here, and I won't be going anywhere else. Want treated like royalty? This is your shop. Want truly artistic tats? Even the flash is personal here. I could go on and on, but I won't, just get your behind here and see for yourself. Oh BTW, better stop in or call for a appointment, although occasionally you can walk in and sit right down :)

• Pros: Artistic ability, cleanliness, friendly
• Cons: Yeah right

Fantastic artists!

Exceptional artistic ability and creativitiy at this shop! I currently have 9 tattoos and have had 3 of them done here in the last 2 months. All were custom drawn, one of which was freehand drawn on my leg and is the most gorgeous horse tat ever! (thanks Rick!). Highly recommended! Your best bet is to make an appt. I know I plan on having more work completed there, and would refer anyone to them if they want quality work completed.

• Pros: Top notch work
• Cons: Appt needed

Customer for life!

by wild10508 at Citysearch

So many of my friends told me about ESI and recommended Lucky as the artist. What do I do? I take my ideas and sketches to him and he worked his magic. My piece was original and it turned out AWESOME!!!! Needless to say, I will be returning in the near future for my 3 other tats I will be getting. Nicki was so helpful and sweet when I came in with the sketches. We talked about color and fitting the words into my memorial ribbon. Then, she showed it to Lucky. He liked my piece and was excited to ink it. From start to finish, it took only 40 minutes. The shop has an atmosphere like no other. It is VERY clean and everyone is just so friendly and personable. They have attracted another customer for life and I have told everyone I know. I've even told my customers that are thinking about either getting a new tat or adding to one where to go: East Side Ink! Thank you.

• Pros: Flexibility on scheduling, alternate ideas to make a piece fit, fun!!!!
• Cons: None
