Defiance use to be my go to for tattoos and piercings. Notice I said “use to”. Between Chase, Ryan, and Rob, I’ve had four tattoos and 5 piercings done. It wasn’t until I came in the shop around the second week of April 2018 looking to get a tattoo behind my ear that I decided I’d never go back to Defiance. War horse priced me at $65 to get Navi from Legend of Zelda behind my ear. I was hesitant because I always went to Defiance, and my best friend just got a tattoo behind her ear for $40 from defiance two weeks prior to myself coming in. So, her and I go in asking to get it priced, and we’re greeted by Mike, who was extremely rude as soon as we walked in. He seemed annoyed by us walking in and explained he was the only one there, and even though the shop wasn’t suppose to close for another 2 and a half hours he may not get to me that night. I said that was fine, I understood and that we’ll wait anyways, he took my name and had a couple people in front of me waiting to get pierced. I only had to wait maybe 30 minutes before he got to me, which wasn’t bad at all, I had a feeling he just didn’t feel like tattooing me that night at all which is why he said what he said trying to get me to leave. So, i show him the tattoo i want and he prints it out. He places the picture behind my ear to make sure it fits and tells me it’s gonna be $90. I was like what?? I’ve gotten bigger pieces here for near that amount, why $90? I didn’t even want color just black ink. Well he said it was “pretty big” so he had to charge $90, i said that doesn’t make sense cuz my friend, who i brought with me, got this tattoo behind her ear for $40 two weeks ago here. I show him her ear tattoo and he says “oh the one you want is bigger than hers”, i said no it’s not, and took the printed out pic he made, and placed it next to her tattoo. They were the same freaking size, the tip of navi’s wing to the bottom of navi’s foot was the same size and length as my friends storm cloud with a lightning bolt behind her ear. Mike got flustered and said he could do $80, i told him warhorse priced me at $65, and i could show him the messages between me and warhorses Instagram account for proof, and then asked if he’d match their price. He said again best he could do was $80 so i left. Went to warhorse the next day and they tattooed it beautifully behind my ear and only charged me $50. My friend and I will NEVER return to Defiance, which is sad because i use to talk about them so highly but now I tell everyone i can my story and how they’re much better off going to warhorse where every single one of their artists are kind and talented. It only takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch and Mike is going to continue giving Defiance a bad name with his poor attitude.

Chris Rector

Came here to get a triple helix piercing, only waited about 5 minutes after turning in my waiver for my piercing. This was my first piercing and the guy who did the piercing did a really good job and was really nice. Gave me a little pamphlet with some tips to take care of the piercings. If i need any other piercings done ill be sure to come here again.

Wright Family

my fiance and i both got eachothers names on our wrists. i know lame right lol? but after 15 yrs together why not? we did a random walk in on a saturday night and they gave us a fair price and got us right in. Larry did both of them. looks great. great expiriecnce. highly recomended. thanks Larry!

Gwenaelle Lalanne

Really good, clean, affordable prices

Erin Andro-Masetta

Sara Studebaker

employees didn’t seem to want to work there. i wanted to throw up at the thought of sitting on those crusty seats there were white flakes everywhere.

Sarah Longo

Love em

Greg Trask

Larry, our tattoo artist, was very friendly and professional. Larry did an outstanding job on our tattoos. I highly recommend Defiance Tattoos and look forward to returning for more work.

Abby Morrill

I had my nose pierced today with a friend. Both of us had Rob, and he was incredible! He was clean, explained everything he was doing and how to care for the piercing, and everything was extremely quick. Each piercing took around 2 minutes from placement to actual procedure. Really loved the experience and the price!

Lauren Biertempfel

I've had two tattoos done here from two different artists and absolutely love the artwork. Even after 3+ years both tattoos still look great! I also had my belly button pierced here, which I loved! Unfortunately it got caught and infected so I had to take it out, but I will be returning within the next month or so to get my nose pierced! Super friendly staff and very patient. They were so great about tweaking the art on my bow until it was perfect and I get so many compliments on it! Can't wait to get my nose done! Update: I had my nose pierced at Defiance about 6 months ago. It's perfect, is healing up nice and I barely felt the needle going through. I'm returning in the next couple of weeks for my 3rd tattoo from Defiance!

Grace Lightner

No one knows the schedule of the other employees and closes earlier than says online. I do not recommend going here their very unprofessional.

Ali Rutherford

Kali Coreno

I went in to get my septum pierced and had such a good experience. They have great prices and are super quick but also helpful. My nose wouldn't stop bleeding when I got it pierced ( i bleed a lot with all piercings and tattoos not sure why ) and the piercer sat there until it slowed down and also did a fantastic job with the actual piercing. I will definitely be back ????

Jessica Ritter

I don't normally write reviews unless I really have something to say... while my tattoo came out alright in the end, my friend who got the same one in a different color had to get hers completely redone somewhere else because the color didn't stay... The staff at first were friendly, but the guy that did my tattoo was impatient with me from the very beginning; first with the purple trace ink he got visibly irritated that I asked to have to up higher on my foot....later on it was really painful and he was not gentle at all, and I asked him to stop for a few seconds on two separate occasions, the second time he said he wasn't stopping again and that it's going to hurt just as bad if he stops or not. I was offended and kind of snapped into staying quiet for the rest of my time there... The tattoo scabbed pretty bad and, like I said, he wasn't very gentle for it being such a sensitive area... and the color didn't stay as well as I had hoped but it's too painful for me to get it touched up... I got my first two tattoos done at Cherry Hill in Naples, FL and I would pay for the ticket to go get my tattoos done there before I went back here.... I don't know how the rest of the staff was, but this man was not a great representation/model for this establishment...

Janair Everette

I got my nose pierced in 2012 when I was 19, and I plan on getting a new nose ring and maybe a tattoo before I graduate.

Olivia Detweiler

Got my nose double pierced by Mike here and he was great! Highly recommend.

Kimberly Duncan

I had my nose pierced by Rob today. It was a great experience and reasonably priced. I will be back!

PetMyKitty XO

Thanks to Christine for doing such an amazing tattoo on me, im in love with my jack the skeleton/zero tattoo, it looks soooooooo GOOD, I HIGHLY recommend this girl, she is very professional yet so down to earth, super chill and easy to get along with, super friendly and awesome to talk too, she made me feel so comfortable while getting this tattoo and I will continue to come back to defiance, I am glad I found such an amazing tattoo artist! You go girl! Thank you soooooo much!!!! See you next time!

Elisabeth Bragwell

John T.

Best tattoo place in Kent! Everyone that works here is friendly, the place is clean, the work they do is fantastic, and the pricing for everything is great.

Johnnie Kuntzman

Really nice guy.. they have my husband in their front window

Kelly Geiger

I’ve been tattooed at Defiance by Christine three times and followed her there from her last shop. I will never go anywhere else and would follow her anywhere she went! She is an amazing artist and with great customer service. My husband has been pierced at the shop, by Mike and that experience was great too! He was fast and great to work with. The piercing healed perfectly and looks great. There is a reason this shop continuously gets voted best tattoo and piercing shop. They rule.

Ashlyn Lohr

i’ve gotten 3 piercings total here and everyone was great!! the staff is super sweet, the process is super quick, and the piercings are very well done. i would highly suggest this to anyone looking to get piercings that are well done and reasonably priced, it’s an amazing shop overall. i’ll definitely be back, thank u defiance tattoos!!

mack hughes

I went to Defiance when I turned 18 to get my septum pierced. My piercer was struggling with the clamp and it was extremely painful but I stuck through and got the piercing. Months later I went to a shop out of town with a friend for a new piercing and that piercer looked at my septum and said I was lucky it didn't look worse after the way I described the piercing process. Months later, my dumb-self decided to go back to Defiance with my sister to get my navel pierced twice, one piercing on top and one on the bottom. The bottom piercing hurt so incredibly bad, worse than any of my 9 other piercings and it was not healing at all. I went to a different shop for a second opinion and they said it was pierced incorrectly and that the jewelry was cheep, causing my body to fight a reaction with the jewelry instead of healing. They checked out my top navel piercing as well and asked me where I got it done. When I told them Defiance, they were not surprised as they see many navel piercings from defiance that are pierced wrong and therefore they cannot heal correctly. Now, six months later, my top piercing is migrating and it sits above my navel, not tucked into it, and it is rejecting. The piercing itself is only MILIMETERS thick. I imagine after receiving a second opinion, I will have to remove the piercing and wait years for it to heal over and get repierced. I do not recommend defiance.

Robert Sommers

Friendly folks with very reasonable prices on body jewelry.

Byron Arias

My wife and I went here after I got off work last night to each get a piercing. Mike did an outstanding job! He took his time and it was encouraging because he was a perfectionist! We would recommend him to anyone and will be back for more piercings and ink!

Nice

Regina Duley

Clean environment, friendly and professional staff. Great artists at what they do.

Mardell Shumaker

Very friendly!

Christian Nichols

I gave Christina 5 photos with specific features from each tattoo I wanted incorporated in one. It took less than 5 min for her to pull together the whole thing on Photoshop and she did an absolutely phenomenal job. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

Justine Brock

My friend and I just got pierced, she a lip piercing and I got my daith done. Mike was GREAT!!! I highly recommend giving them a go. Not my first or last time there.

Ashley Zuschlag

Ryan Holland

The interior is very open so you can see and hear all the activity happening around you. They had a DVD of the Amityville horror showing in repeat in the lobby which was entertaining and fit the motiff. The piercing was quick and painless, we were in and out in about 10 minutes. The prices are already cheap, but we were still offered a discount if we got multiple piercings. Overall a great place with great prices, great vibes, and great artists.

Samantha Dunn

They use sterile tools, the shop is clean, and the piercer is very nice. Extremely happy with Defiance!

Alexis Rose Knauff

I've gotten three piercings in three weeks. Rob is great and quick! Highly recommend!

Dayna

SweetShayla

Good tatts done here but the tatt artist make up their own prices and we were overcharged. Plus the wait is long and they are rude

Gena Brewster

Alexander Solon

Great place, great people. I went in for a walk in late at night and it didn't take long at all. Got it drawn up and done under an hour. Great results as well!

Went to Defiance 3 years ago for a cartilage piercing and they were very helpful and I enjoyed my time there. About a week ago, I went and got my navel piercing. Again, everyone was very helpful and the process was quick and simple. I plan on coming here again.

Rose H

went there and they were closed by 10:30 even though it is posted online and on there door that they close at 12 very unprofessional

Chelle Belle

This place is top notch! Anyone looking to get pierced go see Rob!!! 10/10!

Larry has done amazing artwork on myself, my husband, and my oldest son. I highly recommend him.

M higgins

Steven Marcum

Do good work but way to extensive

Erin Confer

Kaden Denno

Waited here for two hours, multiple walk-ins went ahead of us, and i ended up paying nearly 200 dollars for a tattoo with subpar line work, a wonky circle, and uneven text. I would avoid

Zach Muckus

Can't believe I haven't left a review yet ???? my wife has been going since I believe around 2010 and suggested we go for a special back in 2019 and I absolutely love the atmosphere, everyone is super chill and great just chitchatting with, Christine has been our artist and she's absolutely a amazing, she's so quick too, everyone seems to mention how she's so fast but still does such amazing work, if you've seen any you know it speaks for itself. Rob the piercer is awesome too, super knowledgeable and patient, he's quick as well, they both definitely work to minimize any pain while still providing top notch service. I swore I'd never a piercing until Rob now I've had a handful and will likely get more.

Beyase Lee

Got a tattoo few days ago and they accepted walk-ins so I got it and it didn’t take long until it was my turn. The one who did my tattoo was named Christina if I remembered and she did it super fast. I LOVED how it turned out and she did it exactly how I wanted it to be. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely go there again for future tattoos and maybe piercings!

Heather Hahn

My family goes here for all our piercings.. They are always informative and patient with our questions..the areas are always clean and well organized..such a great staff!!

Best Tattoo and piercing place around!

Ambrosia Taggett

The people are nice, professional, and respectful. The piercings are inexpensive, but high quality.

Jonnah Morris

I have had several piercings and tattoos done at Defiance. They pretty much know me by name at this point. I have never had one bad experience. They are super friendly and professional. They walk you through the whole process. They run a tight ship. Everything is neat and tidy. Don't let any negative reviews steer you wrong.

Angelina Shriver

Great place! Very clean and a very nice staff!! Christine is so nice and very professional!! Great work and thank you!! Highly recommend!!!

Outcast Mentality

Hypeman Hawk is the weakest guy around

Hannah

Got both tragus done here. I was very very nervous but he (forget his name, haha) was so calm and did it very quickly and professionally. I'm definitely going to come back. EDIT: Got my helix done here later, and I'm rating 2 stars. I understand infections happen, but I got some bad advice from staff. I walked in with heavy inflammation and wanted to be directed on the best course of action on my piercing. The piercing felt tight and very painful. Again, I understand piercings sometimes just get infected, but my concerns were completely brushed off by a staff member. I was told to soak it and that was that. I should have had the jewelry removed, but trusted your staff's judgement. Things got worse and I had to go back to get my embedded and highly infected piercing removed while in agonizing pain and screaming, then following an urgent care visit. In this situation is was not the piercer's fault, in fact he was great. It was the other employees. This ordeal could have been avoided if my concerns had been heard. Edit 2: When coming in, I stated that my earring felt incredibly tight and asked for a new one to be placed. It was not just red, but swollen.

Tiara Gray

Lisa Russo

Awesome artwork and artist! Will certainly be returning!!

Austin Reagan

Before coming into this establishment I called and requested for an appointment. They stated they didn’t take appointments, just per-Walkins. After checking in and sitting there 45-50 minutes I was finally asked to come up and elaborate on what I was wanting to get, after seeing 4 other people being pulled into other rooms and getting what they had come after me to get finished before even seeing what I wanted. What a waste of historic kent space.

Shelly Clairmont

I have two memorial tattoos done by Larry at Defiance and I love love love them both. I get compliments on them all the time and I will definitely be back for more!

Uni (UnicornFarts713)

Just got my nostril pierced today by Rob. It was an awesome expierence! They were super quick to wait on me and the piercing in general was super quick! He answered all of my questions that I had and was very friendly! Great job Rob! Thanks!

the rudest people that I’ve ever been exposed to in a tattoo shop.

Alayia’s Angel’s

Hearing Harrison's experience about this place makes me never want to purchase anything from here. People who treat past employees like trash can't possibly treat their costumers any better. Its even worst because he was a poc, this behavior is sad. Everyone who abused him mentally and physically, the judge involved with the restraining order, the detectives who accused him of stealing(even when evidence proves he didn't) I hope y'all have fun with y'all karma, everything that happens- you deserve. Do better people! (If I could give 0 stars I would)

tori robison

TERRIBLE TIME AWARENESS

Amy Spanos

Messed up my tattoo Used the wrong color ink, after it was tattooed I asked what color the artist used, he said black. I said I wanted brown and the boss said I didn't say that. I sure as Hell know I didnt say black ink and the artist never asked. I'm still confused as to why the man I talked to in the beginning wasnt the same as the one who tattooed it. Very unprofessional approach. Go somewhere else

Kimberly Baldwin

Martin Gilliland

Steve did an awesome job for me. Looking forward to coming back!

Isabelle Kline

Have gotten 2 tattoos there and I like the way they look. Just curious though I would like to know how well they clean the needles and or all other supplies necessary???? My worst fear is getting a disease from a tattoo lol

Nina Bankovich

I had Mike today for my piercing, he was so nice and friendly. My piercing wasn’t painful at all...and usually everything hurts me! I will totally come back here and recommend to my friends. My sisters have also come here and feel the same way. The staff knows what they’re doing! The entire process took about 5 minutes and was very clean and sanitary. I was nervous going into this, concerning most of my friends double piercings are NOT symmetrical, but I could not have been happier with how mine turned out! As for pricing, the best out there.. $35 for my double piercing which is the best I’ve seen. Thank you, amazing experience!

Dominick Macreno

Love the professional way they run their business, and Christine is an amazing artist that’s very thorough and super fun ! My whole family won’t go anywhere else !

Amy Dorsey

I took my 3 1/2 year old to Defiance today to get her ears pierced. Mike did such a fantastic job! He made sure everything was lined up just right and was so good with her. I am confident I made the best choice in how and where to get this done.

Judy Kelsey

Christine is amazing!!!

Allyse Aramouni

I love the entire staff and atmosphere at defiance tattoos, my favorite worker is definitely Harrison he is professional and personable at the same time and does a great job at piercing. I’ll definitely be coming back!

A Not So Confident Katsudon

Rob did a fantastic job on my helix today. I almost fainted after it was done and he was on top of it and helped me recover from it. The piercing was done amazingly and I can't recommend them enough. I'll definitely be back for more piercings from Defiance! Everyone is so friendly there!

Chase Ware

Aries Blake Odinoni Marrero-Martinez

Totally dig the place and my tattoo! Ask for Mike! It was awesome chatting with him

Logan W.

Larry is an outstanding artist. Very pleased with my tattoo. Would highly recommend this place. Friendly environment, quality work and affordable pricing.

Emilie Myers

The staff was friendly, welcoming and accommodating when we had my 8 year old daughters ears pierced. Clean and inviting environment... thank you for making a first ear piercing a great experience!!

Brittany Leighton

They were very nice and welcoming. I was a little nervous going in there cause I've had bad service before, not there but in other shops, and they made me feel much more relaxed. I could definently tell they took their job seriously too! They didn't skip any steps while getting set up to do my piercing.

Mark Phillips

Came in for a walk-in. Cory was very fast, friendly, and professional. Nice environment and great service. Very satisfied with my first tattoo!

Nevielle Steury

Darby Wirick

Aurelia Womack

Skilled, sterile and professional

nick Livezey

Top notch . Tell them nick sent you

Madison Danna

I did a walk in which was my fault i guess. The artist was in a huge rush it seemed. She didn’t even introduce herself, did the tattoo in 5 minutes, then sloppily slapped a bandage on there that fell off within an hour. The tattoo now looks super uneven and lines are not straight. On top of that this was my first tattoo. I was reccomend this place by multiple people but after my experience I will not go here again.

Kaela McLaughlin

Sir SloppyVids

Nice little shop, staff was nice and the guy who pierced my daughter's ears was kool and did a good job. Overall was a great experience

Erika Bentley

I have gotten most of my piercings done here and the easy ones ( like your cartilage or regular earrings ) I would suggest this place, however, I will be having to pay for my daith to be redone AGAIN ( 3rd time ) because they cannot do it apparently. I got it done once and it was fine but I had to take it out for a medical procedure and when I came back to get help put it in, my ear was too swollen to get it back in so they said to come back and get it redone ( this was not their fault and rob did this piercing it was good ) the second time I went my ear was fine, they had a trainee do it and he wouldn’t push the needle through fast enough, it hurt so bad, I bled everywhere which is not common for me, he didn’t even get my earring all the way through so I went through all of that for nothing. He also put the earring in backwards ( there are gems on it - you can’t even see them now because they’re facing my ear ) and so now I’ll have to go to see someone to fix it - again. The only thing making me consider going back here is that it would be free for them to fix it where I’d most likely have to pay somewhere else.

Staci Conley

Very clean, very quick, great price! Happy with my first tattoo experience! My daughter and I got tattoos ( her first also) that had a special meaning and my son will go get his soon to match! Christine was great , easy to talk to!

Chell Bell

Ericka Miller

The shop was so clean and everyone was so nice. I got a piercing done by Rob and he was so good with me and answering any questions I had. He and the shop are greatest.

Trent White Jr

Cool place.

Baylee Baranowski42

I've had two cartilage piercings done here and they did amazing it's really fast and their very clean might be getting my nose pierced today from there.

Kaela Turle

My piercings healed very well, and going through it was very quick and easy! My experience with my tattoo however was much different. My tattooist made me wait in the lobby almost over an hour after when my appt was scheduled due to another client taking too long. He also proceeded to have a smoke break when that client left before taking me in and setting me up. The only reason I rated this more than 2 stars is because I am happy with my piercings and my tattoo ended up beautifully, but the service there was truly very poor.

carrie sinex

Love My nose ring, great prices... my father got his tattoo there same day, both walk ins! Great staff and service was awesome... chill environment!!

GoodGriefGeorge

The staff was incredibly chill and patient with me today as I got my first tattoo ever! Christine was very nice and did a better job than I could have hoped for on these tiny lines. I highly recommend booking an appointment with them, I know I'll be going back in the future!

Bryan Bryce

Sam Mingle

I did not have a very good experience with the artist Mike. I went in for matching tattoos with my cousin but we each went to a different artist. We both got lettering done and hers looks beautiful and smooth, exactly like the drawing we were shown, while mine looks rushed and sloppy. I would not recommend Mike as he rushed through the whole process. A couple of the words have no spacing in between, the cursive lines are shaky and uneven, and there are lines that should not be there. It looks like he didn't even follow the stencil he placed. On top of that, this was my first tattoo and while telling me the care instructions he spoke extremely fast and to himself, didn't make sure I could hear or understand anything he was saying. I should not have paid so much for a sloppy tattoo and I will never be coming back to Defiance Tattoos.

Karmel Hamilton

The guy who pierced me an my best friend an girlfriend was awesome!!! Will be coming back in the future.

Morgan Miller

Alissa Atkeson

The tattoo artists here have been rude to me and other clients the two times I have gotten a tattoo there and I overheard them talking about disliking the tattoos. Very unprofessional and it was a shame because I always hear good reviews from this place.

Jessica Just

All their good tattoo artists left years ago.

Place rules. Rob rules.

A CR

My friend just went there the other day for a tattoo. Not sure if the dude we talked to was a recently hired because I don't remember seeing him before. My friend wanted to get a tattoo on her shoulder that was pretty simple. He wasn't very inviting when it came to explaining why he had to change the cursive and it was almost as if we had to coax him to explain to us using a little more detail. Mind you it wasn't like she didn't have money, she would have been willing to even spend more. But he was super short with her and wanted to make her change the writing....then she asked if she could just see the drawing when he was done to see exactly what he was talking about and if she wanted to go with it....she only said this as a meaning of she might want him to change A FEW things and I see it as if your getting a permanent thing put on your body you should be able to decide whether you like it BEFORE you buy. He was completely short with her BEFORE she got to explain why she wanted to see first and said flatly I'm not drawing it unless you're for sure getting it.....and then WALKED AWAY! None of us said anything but I was completely floored. Usually when I come it's not on the weekends and all of the staff have been really awesome and still are. I wish I got the one dudes name but I felt like he would have snapped at me if I asked at that point. My friend wasn't being rude. But she couldn't picture what he wanted to COMPLETELY change her idea with his VERY VAGUE description alone. She even asked if she could at least see a font book....don't remember what his answer was but I'm sure it wasn't very pleasant either.....I'll probably still go there but I will avoid this one tattoo artist....I understand it's frustrating being in customer service but please don't ruin it for the rest by being rude for no reason. You can't expect everyone to just roll with what you want their tattoo to be aimlessly. Remember the reasons we get tattoos is to express OURSELVES. While it's understandable some things just can't be done at least try to work with us more. We are people and have feelings too not just $$$ and a number count. Btw she went to another shop. They were very polite and patient even though they were just as busy as Defiance and the tattoo turned out JUST fine....I don't know why the dude was saying the letters had to be huge.....too bad he coudn't just show us what he meant instead of expecting her to fork over money for HIS idea without explanation...

Brett Lancy

Mike was outstanding! He fixed an embarrassingly bad tattoo I had done at another shop and also did a great job on a new tattoo of my sons name on my chest. Would recommend 10/10!

Odessa Jackson

I have gotten 4 tattoos here, and they have always been friendly, professional, and clean. I have always been happy with the quality of the work, and at least 2 (if not 3, I don't remember) of my tattoos were done by Ryan. I even had my nose pierced twice. I absolutely will be back to get more tattoos.

Samantha Girdler

Mixed feelings on this place, but I don’t think I’ll go back.

Went in today to get my septum pierced. I was a little worried it might not look good because I have a slight deviation in my septum, but Rob did an amazing job with marking and piercing it. He was also super kind and explained everything to me. It was done quickly and it looks amazing. Thank you!!

seriously so rude. the woman there working was incredibly rude and it seemed so unprofessional. there wasn’t a tattoo font menu to choose from/look at and i just got some random computer font. the whole shop just seemed in a rush and greedy for money. had no consideration for comfort and didn’t show me the instruments, autoclave, or proved that their tools were sterilized properly like most good tattoo shops do. i tipped the woman out of habit, but i really shouldn’t have. she called for us from the loft and just told me to get on the table. they tried to get us out of the shop as quickly as possible and she made it very known. the tattoo i received was a gift and if it wasn’t a gift, i would’ve left immediately. absolutely just a greedy, rude, unprofessional environment. update: now that the tattoo is over a year healed, it’s messed up. she went too deep into my skin & left a raised scar of a tattoo. not good. would give you 0 stars if i could. no excuses update update: i’m getting it removed. it’s bleeding, fading, and is essentially a large scar. none of my other 5 tattoos are like this.

My friend and I went in to get small heart tattoos and right away they were very rude. Steve was the artist and he acted as if we were children. The guy who did the estimate on our tattoo was very nice and told us $40 each and then when Steve cashed us out he asked how much and when we said $40 he rolled his eyes and said it should have been $50. If I go back I am definitely requesting that Steve not be my artist.

Absolutely loved my experience. My mom and I got matching tattoos in honor of my grandmother and it is perfect.

Chris LeComte

This shop is awesome. Go make an appointment right now, you'll see. The work they have done on both my piercings and my wife's tattoos are great, people constantly ask my wife where she had her work done. The lines are clean and the colors pop

Best Tattoo Shop in Kent !! Great friendly staff I’ve gotten quite a few tattoos there and my nose pierced everytime I’ve had a great experience, I highly recommend Mike for all your tattoo and piercing needs ! Couldent have asked for a better experience!

Terrible experience here. The guy that did my tattoo (Mike) misspelled my tattoo! It was supposed to say "Keep moving forward". But he wrote "Keep moving forwarad". How is it even possible to misspell forward?! Another thing I didn't like is that the whole tattoo was just very sloppily done. The letters are crooked and several spots on it aren't nearly dark enough. He told me to come back in 14 days when I'm all healed to get the tattoo fixed, but there's no way in hell I'm ever coming back. And here's the worst part- I still had to pay something for a screwed up tattoo! I want my money back!!!

Awesome, good atention!

My hubamd and I just got matching tattoos for our son. Mike did mine and it was awesome. Great experience. This wss my 6th tattoo and my husband's 7th.

The first time I ever went to defiance was to get a nose piercing and rob was fantastic! Sadly I had to take it out for work but I got it done again by rob and it didn’t even hurt. I ended up getting an infection due to my poor lack of aftercare ( totally my fault!!) I then went in to defiance to get 4 more ear piercings and I always go to rob, I got my Naval Pierced at a different shop and it didn’t heal properly and he gave me good advice on what to do and the last time I came in he put my septum jewelry back in for a very low price. Rob is the only one I trust to do my piercings anymore. Will definitely have to get a tattoo here !

Amber Dolin

Rob was very nice waa very quick with my piercing. Thank you Rob

Amber Joglar

I went with a friend to get her tattoo done at this location. First, Christine, the tattoo artist, said that the facility didn't have "small enough needles" to complete the project. Okay the tattoo is four inches long, how is that too small???? Next, she asked why she didn't just "get the tattoo in English". Why would you deliberately question someones personal work idea, when it could have sentimental value???? To me, that is extremely disrespectful. I am disappointed in this location's customer service and abilities. I. AM. TRIGGERED.

Justin Case

Ok this place is very over rated. Tattoos are over priced and the guys there dont seem very enthusiastic or helpful. I walked out and was not impressed with these guys. Dont waste your money here.

Angela McAlarney

Rob is awesome! I will never go anywhere else for piercings.

Took my 6 yr old to Defiance for her rite of passage 1st ear piercing. Rob was so sweet to my baby, gentle, fast, knowledgeable and passionate about his career. Why the hell anyone takes their kid to a mall is beyond me. I highly recommend and plan to return for all of my pre prego piercings to be redone!!!

Iam not a tattoo guy.Im 70 and have my first Grandchildren.Designed a Tat went in and Mike drew the short straw and took care of me.The dates on my graphic was wrong.I felt less than brilliant.I called Mike he got me right in.Never made me feel as stupid as I was.Changed the graphic covered the errors and My tribute to my grandbabies is beautiful...to me.Mike is a genius!!!! Ask for him and you'll be as thrilled as I am.Thank you Mike and God Bless.

I used to go to defiance for most of my piercings, I’ve had I think like 5 done here over the years. I’ve also had two tattoos done here. All of my piercings were fine until my last one, double nose piercing (I already had a single nose piercing that was healed and done there) so obviously I trusted them to do the second one. Well after the piercer struggled to get the jewelry in for well over 7 mins (the needle was just chilling in my nose as he’s trying to jam a hoop in) my fresh piercing is bleeding like crazy and already swelling. Usually after the needle goes in the jewelry quickly follows and it’s not that painful, but I guess the piercer was struggling this day which resulted in scarring and an awful healing timeline. I’ve had great piercing experiences up until this point so maybe it was just bad luck. As for the tattoos, I’m not sure if this was also bad luck and timing but my first one needs to be covered up as it honestly is not acceptable to even pretend like it’s meant to look like that. The lines aren’t clean and it’s not even symmetrical (it’s a ying yang so it’s supposed to be). I’ve seen amazing work come from here but I think unless you have some incredible design that’ll showcase their talent they want to just stick some ink in you and move you along because you aren’t helping their portfolio.

trinidy longgood

I’ve gotten two tattoos from here a year ago and while thinking about a day to come in next week for my next one it crossed my mind that I never left a review on here before! This place is great I love both of my tattoos!

James Nicholas

My son had his ear pierced, nice people.

Erica Jarosz

Jeremy Burke

I've gotten 12 tattoos and at least six piercings at this shop by my count, and excluding one time which was really nobody's fault, I've had nothing but great experiences here. The majority of my tattoos have been done by Christine, but I've gotten a couple small ones done by Mike and David, and all of my piercings were done by Rob. I've been consistently satisfied by the work I've gotten here, which is why I came in for a walk-in just the other day, and I already have another appointment set up for this Saturday. Highly recommend.

Laura Kocian

I had a walk-in appointment today. I was getting my nose pierced and I was super nervous about it. I had Rob and he was super nice about it and answered a bunch of questions that I had. Very clean place and friendly staff! Will recommend to others! So glad I came here!

Defiance is the first shop in Ohio that I went to and is the only shop that I will go to in Ohio. The professionalism on top of the inclusivity that the people offer can’t be beat. I’m never nervous, never uncomfortable, always pleased. Gay friendly, Trans friendly & amazing experiences through and through. I love them!

Shannon Wallace

Christine did a beautiful portrait of my cat!

I got a tattoo done by Chase and he was so nice! It was my first tattoo and he was very patient with me. The staff is so friendly and welcoming as well. Don't know how some people find them mean, they're the nicest people you'll encounter!

Kayla Allen

I've had two tattoos done now, both by defiance. Love my pieces, they've turned out very nice. Minimal pain on both and they made each experience a comfortable one. I've also had my nose re-pierced by them and it healed fast and nicely. Will definitely keep returning for more future work!

Friendly staff and gorgeous building. Took great care of my girlfriend's piercing.

I'm bummed out with the direction this business has taken. I had my bellybutton pierced here and my first tattoo and second tattoos done at Defiance. I always had high confidence in them and recommended them to friends and family. My first two experiences were good but my last was just okay. Last year, my husband booked an appointment to have tattoos done for him, his brother and his mother. We all showed up, everyone from out-of-town having made time to go to Defiance and spend a good amount of money based on my recommendation to go there, and they told us they didn't have an appointment for us. Pretty frustrating considering everyone had driven 30-60 minutes to get there. My husband rescheduled and we went back a month later. It still took a very long time for them to accommodate us (despite the fact that we had booked the appointments), and unfortunately, the writing on my mother-in-law's tattoo turned out very shaky and sloppy-looking. I got my second tattoo done that day and it turned out well but I did feel like the artist was rushing to get it done. Despite all of this, I went in recently to get a small tattoo on my wrist, thinking that they should be able to handle that. I called ahead for an appointment and I was told they were only taking walk-ins. I arrive a little after noon and I'm told to sit while they speak to another walk-in. Sure, no problem. During that time, two more people arrive and it becomes clear that one of the artists overbooked and had to reschedule someone who had made an appointment for 12:30pm. That felt sketchy and familiar after our experience last year. I sat a few more minutes but no one ever acknowledged me or called me up so I stepped back up to the desk and was told that all of the artists are booked with 12:30pm appointments. I asked if they knew how long it might be until they could take walk-ins and I was told that they "had no idea." I left and decided that I wasn't going back to Defiance again. The poor management and bad customer service inspire no confidence at all, and the risk of getting an artist who will charge you for sub-quality work just isn't worth it. I gave two stars since my first two experiences were good but I just can't recommend this place anymore. Edited to include a response to Defiance Tattoos' reply: It's not an issue that I was not seen right away. I knew I was coming in as a walk-in and at the mercy of the artists' schedules. The issue is that I was informed that it was walk-ins only and I was explicitly told over the phone that I could get in quickly if I arrived right away (since Defiance had just opened), when in fact, all of the artists had appointments. That's misleading to customers and I feel it could easily have been avoided had I been told the artists were booked. Artists being booked is understandable but inaccurate information is frustrating. Last year, my husband had appointments booked for his family's tattoos. He was not told they were taking walk-ins; he exchanged emails setting up the appointment and sharing what tattoos were to be done. I'm not sure what the miscommunication was but regardless, it reflected poorly on the business to have missed a large appointment agreed upon in advance. I don't want to hurt your business and I know the artists can do great work. It's just a shame that the good work can be overshadowed by customer service and management issues. I appreciate the response but I feel you should acknowledge the feedback you receive from your customers so that you can improve your business practices. Thank you.

Sydney Becker

Worst experience ever. Tattoo artist completely messed up my tattoo, writing wasn’t even legible, terrible hygiene

Taylor Costello

Got some piercings done and the piercer was very calming because I was nervous. So fast and awesome.

Maria Haines

Rob did an amazing job

Brittany Williams

Im not one to make reviews and post publicly about places but I was here for their Friday the 13 flash and I got my septum pierced and it was pierced so poorly I had to take it out 2 days later because it was so swollen. I went to a piercing shop in the area and they told me they pierced so high up into my cartilage it would take months to heal properly . I wouldn’t recommend getting piercings here and I’m the most laid back person when it comes to piercings and whatnot. I also got a tattoo and he missed a whole little line like how do u do that???? Do better! So much potential as a business.

Kellie LeComte

If you want great work done, go to Defiance. they do tattoos, piercing's, and they also have body jewelry and resin art. I've been pierced and tattooed here and own a few art pieces from the shop. They are clean and VERY knowledgeable on sanitation. Not to mention they are creative as hell. i get tattooed by Christine exclusively and have followed her throughout her career.

Rob did my septum a year ago. Good work! I still have it

Rachel Kiessling

Went in with a friend to get a tattoo. About 2 o'clock on a Wednesday, the lady off the bat said they can't do a walk in tattoo unless it was around a 2-3 in square. I explained what we were looking for she said she could do my friends for sure but couldn't do mine. So she did my friends in less than an hour. Nice work, but very simple tattoo. She wanted to reschedule for 2 weeks to get mine done. They were open til midnight and didn't see any name on the appt book. Really what kind of shop doesn't want to make money?!? Won't go back.

Jason Brody

Kathryn Slates

I've gotten my daith, labret, and septum pierced here. The service was great, piercer was clear and to the point. I enjoyed all my piercings and the experience- the only problem is the piercing jewelry quality. They pierce with surgical steel, which can contain metals like nickel. For all three piercings I went to a second studio and switched out the jewelry for titanium- any scarring or irritation around the piercings cleared up within a week. Over a year post-appointment my daith still hadn't healed (despite routine aftercare) until I swapped it out for some better jewelry. The same goes for scar tissue building up around my labret. This can just be the sensitivity of my skin, so I'm not mad by any means! My time spent inside Defiance itself has been lovely! But if you've noticed any sensitivity to metal, or resistance to healing afterward, try making a jewelry swap.

tetraflak

I have two tattoos from this shop and my wife has a few we could not be happier about the service and quality as a matter of fact we are in route now to get another.

Awesome piercers and tattoo artists.

Hannah Reid

I got a tattoo on my finger for $30 a week ago and it almost completely went away. The artist told me he would give me a touch up for free since that happens with finger tattoos. I went in today to get it redone and they told me they would have to charge me again to get it touched up. I asked for the artist and they told me he had been fired. They fixed it and then charged me $45 ($15 more than the first time?) just to fix the mistake that they made. I ended up paying a total of $95 for one tiny tattoo on my finger. Never going back. Ridiculous.

Gina Augustus

Rob pierced my 13 year oldr’s ears and did an excellent job! He made her feel at ease and was quick. Explained to her about the care of her earrings and everything. Great experience!

Bethany Stiles

Had my first tattoo done by Steve about two weeks ago. He is very professional, calm, and knowledgeable. Have already recommended him to a few people! My tattoo healed beautifully, it was everything that I wanted and more.

Sara Hoopes

Went spontaneously to get my tragus pierced and had a fantastic experience! No pain, great price, and great customer service. Can't wait to go back and get my next tattoo from them. Never been tattooed there but looking forward to it. I'll post about that experience soon

Haley Herchick

I got my industrial bar and I noticed it was a little crooked at first but I didnt think that it would become such an issue... now it's hanging out of my ear and I've been trying to twist the bell off but I must have a defective bar... I am pleased with my tattoo but disappointed in how rude they were... all the dude said was saline soap which I had no idea what that meant but he didnt educate me on aftercare

Maddie Judge

Absolutely love defiance! Always a very positive experience, i’ve gotten all of my tats and piercings here and i’m always satisfied!

Shannon Meadows

My friend and I went here to get some piercings a couple of months ago. I got my tragus redone and my nose pierced. The piercers hands were extremely shaky and he messed up BOTH of my piercings. I had to take them both out. My friend is in the same boat and had to take out her piercings as well. Complete waste of money. Super disappointed and now I have to pay even more money to have them re-done somewhere else.

Elisabeth Fogle

The shop was cool, the people were nice. Got my rook pierced. Rob did a great job and it took all of 10 seconds to clean and pierce it!! Plus its decently priced for good work.

Sidney Mingle

Terrible place to go. I recently went with my sister to get her tattoo done and service was terrible from the start. Mike tattooed and served her but did not seem to care about the customers wants or needs and was as if he just wanted to get it over with and take our money. Tattoo came out terrible with jagged cursive and odd spacing. Would not recommend.

James Frye

Great place, very clean. Great staff!

Madison Gibbons

I’ve been going here for years and wouldn’t go anywhere else for tattoos or piercings. I have four tattoos and counting from Christine who is as talented as can be and recommend her to anyone asking. Almost every time my tattoos are visible I get compliments and asked for the artist!! I highly recommend… below is some of the work she’s done for me.

Bernice White

Got my double helix done here for a great price, staff was professional and utensils were clean. It was my first cartilage piercing and they made me feel comfortable and at ease. Very happy with my piercing and will be returning when I get another someday.

Charles Lee

Worked with my toddler for having her ears pierced, they did an amazing job.

Gina Holliday

Very unprofessional. I think his name was Steve, told me 16 year old that he needs to give up his shot and dream at the NBA and just get a job. When we asked about a tattoo for him. Not a happy ex-customer.

Andrea Hendrickson

Riley Sullivan

Due to a lack of knowledge about other tattoo/piercing shops in the area myself and my friends/family have visited defiance several times. Upon first glance nothing seemed off. There tends to be a lack, and sometimes even complete dismissal of aftercare instructions. My sister got her ear lobes pierced here and the placements were uneven. I came in for a navel piercing and apparently someone had put the wrong sided needle in the drawer, resulting in me having to be pierced twice since my piercer did not notice this mistake before he pierced me. He genuinely seemed sorry so I wasn’t too mad at the time. 2 years later my piercing has not healed right. Unfortunately I gave this place one more shot and came here for my most recent piercing and it was also done crookedly. My friend had come here for a very simple line work tattoo and her straight lines were extremely bumpy. With war horse ink right down the road, please just avoid this place. The tattoos there are much higher quality and the staff is way more professional. Defiance staff has been combative on their social media platforms for quite some time.

Amy Groth

Had a nose piercing - they did a great job. In and out in no time. Easy to talk to and explained everything well.

Joshua Trentine

Got my septum pierced here and it didn’t heal after a month and I was told by another piercer that it had been placed improperly through my cartilage. Lots of pain. The dude was pretty nice, but i would never come back for another piercing.

I have gotten several tattoos done here and have been more than satisfied when I leave. Ryan has done all of the work I have gotten done at Defiance and I have been a loyal customer of his work for almost 7 years. He has done 7 tattoos for me, the last one less than a week ago and I’m more than pleased with them. He is very friendly and super nice to talk to which makes for a better experience while being tattooed. My husband is going to him in a couple of weeks for an awesome back piece and I can’t wait to see the finished product! I would recommend Ryan to anyone! I also have a friend who sports a lot of Larry’s work and I will say his work is fantastic too!

victoria horner

My friend and I did a walk-in yesterday for our belly buttons and she also wanted a tattoo. Rob did our belly buttons and Mike did her tattoo. Rob was super kind, outgoing, and pierced our stomachs quick and easy. Mike did a wonderful job on her tattoo. Will definitely return for more.

Maria Savarino

I got my septum pierced here I seriously thought he numbed it so quick so clean very friendly I was in and out

Kiana Blasco

They made fun of the tattoo I wanted to get. I heard them in the back room. They called my jacket a trash bag as I walked in. Do not go here. Rude workers who over charge and don’t even know how to do a red ink tattoo. Lol pathetic. I have gotten over 3 of my tattoos here and tip very well each time. Also have recommended like over 10 people to them and they want to treat a loyal customer with such disrespect, never stepping foot in this place again.

Ralishia Whitlow

They cool in all but the one guy messed my tat up so my next tat will be done elsewhere

Sarah Heber

Christine has done two massive pieces for me and I plan to get many more from her! Shes great at making you feel comfortable and shes always down for a good laugh! Hands down the best artist I've ever been too and I highly recommend her.

Sammi Reed

Mike did a tattoo for me that holds a lot of meaning and it came out perfectly. It's still healing but he was quick and professional and took time to talk with me about my next one. Thank you for making my experience amazing! I will be back for more!

Gale Jo

the employees are extremely helpful and didn't seem to mind answering my dumb questions.

Renee Lester

I got my nipples pierced and my husband got his tongue pierced. Mike made sure he washed his hands and put on gloves before piercing my husband and also washed his hands after doing husbands piercing and changed his gloves before doing my piercings. We saw him open new needles and made sure every surface was cleaned. He also made the experience great and reduced our anxiety by being friendly and very sweet and professional. We will be going back for jewelry change. Neither of us developed any infections and we are on week 3.

Halle Shanks

This is a horrible tattoo shop. The woman tattooing me was so rude :( you’ll find employee abuse, poor hygiene, and very very bad tattoos. I chose a simple design that’s now blown out and painful.

Jacob Ruby

I had an awesome experience. I walked in to get my nose pierced. They checked my ID filled out some paperwork and then off we went. Rob was super nice and did a excellent job. Sanitary, quick and only a little painful :)

Hannah Kendrick

Larry took my artwork and then improved on it, listened to what I wanted exactly and seemed to care about he significance of the tattoo. It's a stag in memorial to my grandfather who passed a few years ago. Nice guy, great work, fun to talk to if your the type to talk while getting ink.

alysha leonardi

Tori Fitch

Friend and I went in to get simple tattoo, they were pqretty rude almost as if they were annoyed of what we were getting , after tattoo was done it got irritated right away , I have over 15 tattoos in various places not once have I ever had an issue with a healing process I've treated this tattoo like I have every other one, they rushed & didn't shave the area before tattooing & now it's red and has some green to the scabbing along with some redness , Sad that I didn't have a better experience considering I was on vacation, my friends tattoo is reacting the same exact way. What a shame, also they complained non stop about the next tattoo they had to do and wanted to charge the next people more just because they didnt like that they had to do the tattoos.

Taylor C

I’ve gotten 4 tattoos here and all of them were beautifully done :)

Jacinda Warman

Keep going back ????☮️

Breanna Jagel

I am very impressed with this shop! Very knowledgeable staff with attention to detail and cleanliness. I am very happy with the artwork I received from Mike. I have and will continue to recommend to all my family and friends!

Sammi Powers

I absolutely love it here. I have had 2 of my most recents tattoo’s done by Christina, one was a small one and one is a bigger one on my ribs, and with both she took her time and they both look incredible. I won’t go anywhere else for my tatttoo’s now. Staff is also very friendly, and the shop is very nice, open, and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Kate Holub

I loved my tattoo the art looks great but the service was horrible. The tattoo artist I had (chase) was super rude. I tried making conversations with him but he seemed so irritated the started yelling a little at me because I needed to take a break. Probably will never go there again...

Zoe Fenshaw

Lana Hill

I just got a tattoo today from these guys and I am incredibly happy. This isn’t my first tattoo shop but it will be my last, I plan on coming back for any future tattoos. I was tattooed by Christine she was very nice. She talked to me while she was doing the tattoo which calmed me down. The shop was clean and well lit. I was a walk in and I was done in 45 minutes. Everything was done incredibly well and I’m so glad I found these guys. :)
