Reviews of Iron Clad Tattoos (Tattoo Shop)

Tim Lange

Grant has done just about all my work and I have been coming to him since he has started tattooing. His work continues to get better and better. Cant wait to have him finish my sleeve and start the other. Best shop around. All the artists are super talented and have very diverse skill set so no matter what you are looking for, they have you covered.

Kaitlin did an ABSOLUTELY amazing job on my tattoo. It was a large shoulder coverup piece, and I loved working with her. Her eye for detail is fantastic, and she put a lot of imagination into the design of my new tattoo. She made me feel comfortable, was great at communication, and was simply a pleasure to work with. I’ll feel confident showing my newly-reworked tattoo off now! I highly recommend her.

Marie Vlog

Everyone here is so friendly, inviting and TALENTED. I've been going here for YEARS and I will never go to another tattoo parlor!

Daniel Rodgers

I went here for my first tattoo, and could not have had a better experience! I set up my appointment with Grant back in May to start a DBZ based piece, and his work completely exceeded my expectations. The entire experience was phenomenal. All the artist we're very fun and professional and made the time fly by. Once the tattoo was done he gave me very detailed instructions on how to care for it during the healing process, and even responded to Instagram messages after hours when I was curious if I was follow the instructions right. couldnt have be more satisfied with the work, and can't wait to go back to finish it!

Pamela McAdoo

I've been getting tattoos at iron clad for years. They always manage to take my vision of what I want and make it better.

Dezaray Caraballo,RN

THE best shop around!! I have been going to Chris for years and Iron Clad is the only place I will get my ink! Almost finished with my sleeve and then I am starting my back piece. They all are VERY professional, beautiful clean shop, and very fair pricing. I was quoted almost double for my sleeve. They all are kick ass people who VOLUNTEER their talent to many different organizations including children and vets. I may live almost an hour away, but they are worth the drive and more!

Erick Stone

Great place, awesome service, awesome artists.

Cary Bright

I've been going to Iron Clad for close to 3 years (both locations), and am always tattooed by Chris. He is AMAZING! Not only is his work amazing, but he is a great guy, and a joy to be tattooed by. Each artist I've encountered at the shop has been very friendly, professional, and all of them put out quality work!

Adam James

Best taco bell around!

David Lingenfelter

One of the best cleanest and most professional shops in the extended cleveland area. Great artist great piercers. Grant hooked me up with a tattoo a few years ago(I mean 7) the color has stayed and it still looks like the day we put it on. Also came up with a great design when all I told him was I want something awesome. Highly recommend you go see them if you are looking for something above and beyond

Jayson Cayetano

I got my first tattoo here at Iron Clad Tattoo by Chris Prater (shop owner). Everything went smooth from start to finish even from the first time we talked on the designs and I just trusted him and did not disappoint at all. The Dragon piece he made is just epic. Shop wise its VERY CLEAN people are nice and the ambiance all around is just welcoming. If you are looking for a place to get your tattoo check this shop out and you will not be disappointed they have great tattoo artist. Give it a shot and Thank me later!!! Will be back here for my second tattoo.

Jennifer Grabowski

Clean, professional atmosphere. I have numerous pieces done by Chris. Great artist. Highly recommend this shop.

Michael Malliski

Great place. Clean and professional. These guys are real artists. Jeff has been doing my tattoos for several years. Always very patient and willing to give me exactly what I'm looking for in a design. Everyone else there is doing amazing work as well. To top it off the pricing is incredibly reasonable for what they do. I highly recommend Iron Clad Tattoos.

James Richcreek

Tattoo turned out great! Professional artist and fun atmosphere! A++

Erin Hannon

Grant Taylor is amazingly talented and has an outstanding reputation as a kind and professional artist. I recommend everyone I know to go to him for unique and quality work. Thanks Grant!

I get my work done by Kaitlin. She is amazing. She always does a great job. She can do anything from traditional to realism. We are working on a sleeve for myself. She is the best tattoo artist I have found in the Cleveland area. I would recommend her to anyone!

Dale Lakes

Got matching tats with my daughter on my 57th birthday. Fast, clean and good. Jeff Stoerkel did a fantastic job and relatively the least painful tattoo I've gotten. Would recommend.

Leslie Bruhn

Chris is an amazing artist with a light touch. Iron Clad is a very clean and comfortable shop!

Elizabeth Barski

Scam artist's... Grant told me to come in, so he can look at my sleeve in progress and he will pencil me in for completion. 2 months out is my appointment for 7/29. Grant said he would NOT do the portrait on my elbow that was already outlined. I asked about covering it up. Grant said that he does NOT do coverups. Let me pencil you in and need to pay upfront $50 for a no show appointment. Ok...I paid cash! I found an excellent tattoo artist right away and is very available for tattooing times. He has completed my sleeve and no longer need the 7/29 appointment with Grant. I texted Grant a few days ago and told him I wanted to cancel my appointment and asked about my $50. He said there is no gift certificate and that it is only for Grants work and for me to reschedule. I don't want to reschedule. I want proof that I paid the money so I can use later on or give to a friend. He said I do not get my money back and if I wasn't going to use the service that I shouldn't have wasted his time..........TIME????? What time???? 5 mins??? He looked and couldn't do the two things I asked him to do. He said let's pencil you in at least and you'll have time to decide what you want. He drew up nothing...he did no service to me, but to wright my name on a calendar. Ultimate scam artist...do not go there!!!!!

Amanda is amazing! I absolutely love my new tattoo! She did exactly what I asked for! Was on time and very pleasant! Definitely recommend!

kyle greig

Awesome work! Chris did my peacock feather and was fantastic the whole time.

Miranda Freyhauf

Me and my sister got tattoos done by Jesse at Iron Clad and he did a great job. He was really patient with us while making the template exactly how we wanted it and made any adjustments for us to make sure it was just right. It was my sisters first tattoo and he made sure she was comfortable and ok throughout the session. Everything was really clean and all the staff was friendly. I would highly recommend going here!

Barbara

Terrific artist, tattoos are amazing. We love Mikey Lane

Chloe Babcock

Love these guys! They do amazing work!

Tranzam02

Awesome artists!!!!

Joe Eaton

After visiting other shops for work over the years I have finally found a shop that I wont leave. Helpful staff, world class art and a clean sterile environment. From the design process through the finished product I was highly impressed with Chris and Iron Clad.

Dawn OBrien

beautiful work, hard to book an appointment

Brooke Eveland

I recommend this shop to anyone I know looking to get tattooed! Super professional and full of talented artists!!

Brian Needham

Clean, great atmosphere, professional and best talent around.

william Bonnie

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Extremely unprofessional and self serving. The owner, Chris Prater, has an extremely foul mouth and is a very dishonest and shady character. There are far more professional ink joints in the area, no need whatsoever to give this individual your hard earned money. I will never do business with this individual again!!! BEWARE!!

Amanda Bird

Kaitlin is an extremely talented artist!!

Katie S

I highly recommend this tattoo parlor, especially Jeff who just did my first tattoo. I was very nervous of how much it was going to hurt but Jeff was extremely patient and talked me through everything. I have worked in healthcare and to be honest, this place was more sterile and clean than a hospital. Jeff drew up my tattoo super fast and I was only in the chair for 5 minutes. Everyone there was super nice and patient. I recommend this place to anyone visiting the area or for first-time tattooies.

Matt Sutton

Best place around for a tattoo. Chris is my favorite tattoo artist in this part of the country! Only person I let do my art. That said, everyone in the shop is great. Have the best artists around and are great people that make you comfortable while you're there. Can't wait for my next appointment

Darlene Gibbons

Amanda is a Awesome Artist! My Son loves her work ???? he wants to go back there again One of these Days. ????

Cloudy Lawson

Grant Taylor is a true tattoo artist. He has done work on myself, my daughter, my son and to many friends to mention. The shop is clean, beautiful and has the most incredible team!!! There is no place else i would go!!! Congrats on being the Best Tattoo shop on the Cleveland Hot List. You deserve it!!!!!!!

edward kukla

Jeff is a dope guy. Would recommend him to anyone. Overall great place to get tattoos

Jacob Smith

Hands down the best tattoo shop in the Cleveland area. I’ve gone to 6 different tattoo shops in the past 8 years and this one is by far the best. Kaitlin can take any picture you give her and make it 10 times better. I highly recommend booking an appointment at this shop with her!

Kate Altany

I have 3 tattoos done by Kait Bryant, and I highly recommend choosing her as an artist as well as the shop itself. Coming in it’s clear how clean and low-stress the environment is, being that everyone I spoke to was very kind. Having my most recent tattoo done on my hip and thigh (so, having to wear a string bikini bottom), I was given an immense amount of respect by every artist in the building with multiple offers to set up shades between myself and their incoming clients. As always, Kait did an incredible job and made a 5 hour process easy to endure, leaving me with an awesome set of tattoos.

William Hurt

I have had over 40 hours of tattooing done by Jeremy aka Rudy over the last year. He's a awesome artist and does great work. He's always been professional and has killed every tattoo he has done for me! The shop is dope and every one is very talented and professional.Great Place!

Crystal Gierman

The guy with the red beard was amazing! I am in love with my piece he did for me and have made plans to finish my sleeve with him. He is well worth the wait and very professional.

Molly Wagar

Dude these guys are always quality! Got s tattoo a month ago, fairly priced. They were cool about squeezing me in! Super tight lines, clean and gently touch! Heard Grant is very good as well! Shop was clean d staff was super chill and friendly!

Brown Brandon

Autumn Raines

Jeremy McNish (Rudy) is a wonderful tattoo artist. Very professional with his clients. Treat everyone with respect. That's why the clients keep coming back!! Great tattoos , amazing artistic ability. You'd be nuts if you said otherwise!

Elizabeth

I came in to get a recommendation for an artist that would enjoy doing/do a good job of reproducing a picture I brought in. My fiance called first to inquire if the shop was open and the man answering the phone was short with him when he asked the hours. Despite that, we stopped by because we checked out their Facebook and liked their work. The red haired man that "greeted" us was rude. He acted bored and uninterested when we asked for his recommendation of an artist. He showed me a portfolio that i reviewed and declined and i asked to look a bit more at Grant's since I heard by word of mouth that he is a great artist and is very professional. When I mentioned I liked grant's work because he could replicate the intricate lines like in my picture, the man nastily informed me that the lines in my picture "aren't intricate, they're just wings." I blew up the image to show him there were many detailed lines that needed drawn but he dismissed what I said. This brief encounter was enough to turn me off to the entire place. I was ready to put down a deposit that day, but with front desk staff that rude, no thanks. I'm sorry I made the drive out there.

Missy Hulett

Awesome place!! Jeff did my tattoo and did a fantastic job, exactly what I asked for!! Can't wait to get my next one!!!

Becky Young

Ashley B

This shop is awesome! Beyond professional and great artists. WELL WORTH THE TIME I WAITED TO GET MY CUSTOM TATTOO DONE!!!! Thank you!!

Brad James

I will never go to any different tattoo shop. Nothing but outstanding work at Iron-Clad.

Jamie Zaidinski

Chris is THE best!! I have many friends who go to Iron Clad, and will not go anywhere else. We are in the process of finishing my sleeve, and I could not be more pleased with his work. I highly recommend Chris to everyone. Thank you again!! ❤

Ellauna Evans

Chris took care of me as everyone told me he would!!!!!

Charlie Babbit

I had seen some great work come out of this shop and told my sister she should get her work done there. Well the tattoo came out ...OK, but the guy Rudy wasn't very professional. He made a comment about my physical handicap that I didn't appreciate. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he didn't realise it was inappropriate. He is kind of a sarcastic/ smartass individual. However during a break in the session he tried to persuade my sister to go smoke with him (pot) in his car, she declined. My sister also told me during the session he gave my sister his number. She felt really uncomfortable that he kept calling her a pretty little thing. Like I said, decent work if your OK with the unprofessionalism.

Kelley Bushong

Awesome experience, very clean, very professional, friendly.

Sarah Stroop

Very clean, super friendly staff!

Amber Meek

Amazing. Every. Single. Time. All the guys there are so kind and accommodating. Truly talented individuals, I won’t go anywhere else to have work done. Super clean shop, good music, and convenient location. You can’t ask for anything more!

Jason Brew

With amazing, friendly and knowledgeable artists this is definitely a great shop. Have had many pieces done here and am thrilled with their work. Owner Chris even one upped himself making a new shop that is something to see.

Max Graehling

Chris did a very bad tattoo on my friend and majorly over charged her. Definitely would not recommend coming here. Or if you do, do not go to Chris.

J Zabrosky

This is an amazing custom shop. I've had several tattoos done at this studio and they are the best, I wouldn't ever go anywhere else. They create beautiful tattoos and the artist I see is always happy to work with me to design what I want. All the guys that work there are always welcoming and professional but still create a very fun atmosphere. I always feel very comfortable when I'm there and, being a female, that is very important to me.
