Apollo Ludeman

Way over priced almost like the told me and my wife a super high price just because they didn't want us in there shop!

allyssa coillot

I went for Friday the 13th and while the wait was long (I showed up later in the day), they had plenty of artist to keep the process constantly moving and all of them were nice as far as I could tell!

Patrick Romig

Awesome experience with getting my tattoo done by Blake. When I went in I wasn't sure what I was going to get or about getting one but I got exactly what matches me! They were very happy to help me and listen and everything else. Will definitely go back!!!

Erin

The best experience I’ve ever had!! All the tattoo artists fit within my style. It is walk in only, but I didn’t mind considering the amazing work I had done. This was my first big piece, and Jason was a great guy! He was very knowledgeable and helped me understand what we were doing next and why. He is my go to for my next tattoo!

Mindy Madison

Loved my tattoo! Will be back for more. Thanks Trevor!

Cayle Carpenter

I went in and Damon was very professional with my industrial piercing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Definitely coming back. Thank you Damon!!!

Vann Eubank

Rachel is AMAZING. I'm in love with my tattoo and will definitely be coming back!

Jared Boesen

Waited for an hour for the piercer to get there, after being told several times that he was “minutes away”. He never came. Also, if the people at Grimm actually read this, try to be a little more subtle about smoking weed at the shop. Where is the professionalism. I would only recommend this place to people I don’t like.

Vix “Vix”

Helped me get a tattoo last minute and worked with me to see my idea come to life! Thank you guys so much!! <3

Jessie Epperson

Aaron was awesome! He got me in right away while my husband was getting his tattoo done. His work was awesome, I will definitely be back for more work!

Mark Campbell

Very professional. Lessons, and makes every effort to please you,

Dayday Morgan

I was charged 120 for a name to be tattooed when healed up didn’t look nun like it was suppose to me and my fiancé sat patiently for almost 3 hrs, that was my first time and now my last time going....

Chad Ninneman

Jeff did my daughter's first tattoo last week. Looks great, even straight lines. Will be back very soon for some work to myself, definitely!

tony vallejo

Great place for all your ink needs there staff is some fo the best people you could ever imagine. Their professional friendly way know what their doing . Artist Owen Jennings ,Rachel Riche and Trevor are simply amazing no where in the Kansas City area will you get a nice piece of art

Anna Redford

The staff were really friendly and the tattoo looks great. I automatically felt comfortable and the parlor itself had a really nice set up. I also got my tattoo for a good price !

Zoē Renee

Casey was my tattoo artist and she did a great job. She was super friendly & everything was sanitized.

Maggie Koechner

I wanted a tattoo on my foot that represented the love and loss of my mother. I took a Drawing in as a walk in. The employees that greeted me at the door were knowledgeable and welcoming. Rachel was the artist that I worked with. She is a talented young woman and helped create a perfect tattoo. I get compliments on how beautiful my new ink is! Thank you Rachel and Grimm Tattoo of KC.

Matthew

I have been tattooed by both Jayson and Rachel here and both times it was professional and sanitary. I love both tattoos. Jayson just did the scorpion and Rachel gave me the butterfly on Friday the 13th. I will always come back for more.

Jason “Bull” Bond

I got 8 tattoos there today and Leah was was an hour later to do my tattoos. She also rushed the stencil and put on my forearm tattoo sideways. My tattoos are very sacred in my religious beliefs and she knew that and took no care in it. We felt pressured when the next client was there on time. We went back to discuss the mistake was made to discuss a partial refund was appropriate. Ultimately we left the store in frustration when they offered $20. They also laughed when we left. They also had an incompetent assistant do the work for them. The artist there do not adapt the art work themselves. I even gave her a diagram showing how it goes. I have no choice but to get it later removed as soon as possible since everyone in my religion will see and know it is done wrong.

Noe luna

I'm a big fanatic of all types of tattoos, especially traditional tattoos. Yesterday I went in for my fifth time into Grimm's. Great place and great people. I love my new tattoo, Trevor did an amazing great job and I love the details and nice clean line work he did on me new tattoo. I'm for sure going back to get some more work done here soon. Thanks again.

Bri Janzen

The staff was very friendly and patient, and the shop was clean and neat. I'm very happy with the tattoo I got from Ted. He was extremely patient with me and did exactly what I wanted. I plan on visiting here again soon.

Katina Dawn Luper-Daniels

amazing work

Lindsay Wulf

Went in based on reviews, while on a weekend getaway. Got my ear piercings fixed from a previous place, and both my friend and I got tattoos. Extremely friendly staff when we arrived. Piercer Damon was very tedious with his work to ensure placement was perfect for what I wanted. Zach did and amazing job with my tattoo. He has been doing it for under a year, but made me feel comfortable and his work was fantastic! Clean & professional.

Josh Morales

Came to KC to celebrate a union of souls. Wanted to commemorate the occasion with matching tattoos. Desk lady told us an hour wait time, we were told to give our number so that they could call us when ready. We decided to walk the stores in patience for the appointment call. Never happened! We returned and hour and 20 minutes to be told that in store customers receive priority over customers waiting for appointment call. If that was known in beginning we never would have left the shop in order ensure our placement. Overall very dissatisfied with customer service received. I could have very well done a multitude of other things than to wait on a non coming appointment call. Even after discussing situation with mr. Grimm himself awarded zero countenance or cares given for this situation. In my opinion, felt as if the pallette of my canvas was too dark for thier liking.

Thomas K. Smith

Phenomenal!!! Talked with artist Wendy and discussed a few ideas. She was very open, receptive, polite and professional. I can't wait to have her do some work on my human canvas.

Ebonee Wilkins-Castillo

Poor service, unprofessional, and inexperienced. Did not take the time to stencil the image. Used the color grey to shade. Used one needle to shade. Used one needle to thicken an outline. DID NOT USE VASELINE. (Check out story below) I was really excited to get an american traditional heart tattoo with two of my closest friends. I showed one of the associates the tattoo we wanted and rather than take the image and take the time to trace it line by line, she printed it out and drew this (below). It definitely didn't match the image I gave her, but I was told that it was just for the outline and that it would not look like that. I trusted them and proceeded with the process. I was told Rachel would be tattooing us and wanted to check out her portfolio beforehand. All of my other tattoos are american traditional so I was looking for someone who specializes in that style. She didn't have a hard copy, but she did have an Instagram. I didn't see any american traditional tattoos, so I decided to go with Todd who seemed to have a lot of experience in tattooing in that style by looking at his portfolio. As we began the process, he stenciled the same heart tattoo and placed it on my arm and told me I would have to "wait 10 minutes for it to dry in order for him to begin tattooing". I have never known any artist to do that, but I didn't judge. Ten minutes later, he starts to tattoo me using NO VASELINE. I asked him if there was a reason that he wasn't using any Vaseline and he told me that "it's because using too much vaseline will make the ink go away". Todd's gloves were completely dry. When I looked over to actually see the tattoo, the outline was way too thin. I asked him if he was going to thicken it and he asked if I wanted him too. I said, "yes, i'm looking for it to match the thickness of my other ones". He checked them out and literally used the same needle to go over the first outline twice and to start shading. I told him to stop at that point because I felt that he didn't know what he was doing. Rachel was the only other artist available so I asked if she could finish it. I understand that this is a big no no in the tattoo world but at that point I just wanted what I paid for. Rachel was flexible and kind enough to finish it but she had also made a mistake by mixing the color grey to use for shading. At first I thought she was using white to give it some highlights like my other ones but she wasn't. I wouldn't advise anyone to get a tattoo from Todd. I started to question his portfolio when I compared it to his wall of designs. One thing that stood out the most was that the anatomy in most of his animals and characters were off. It was a very disappointing experience overall. I gave them one star for pricing but that's it. I was really upset to have to pay for something I did not ask for. It literally looks like a rock on my arm and nothing like a heart.

Sudhir A

Awesome place for piercings, very professional, and knowledgeable.

Jaqucoi Webster

Definitely gonna be where I get my work done. The people were really nice and actually made conversation. Dope place to get inked.????

Sarena Weatherspoon

I got my first tattoo there about six months ago, and they're great. My artist was helpful, caring, reasonable with his pricing, patient, and fast. I am IN LOVE with my tattoo. It's absolutely beautiful. Today, I'm going back to get another tattoo priced. Think they may be the only shop I'll trust for my ink!

Andrea Emberton

I absolutely love this place! I've had two tattoos done here and they were amazing about it! They were fairly priced and the facility is extremely clean. The artists I've visited are Dave and Christine and both were a joy to work with! Christine designed my owl for me and my friend and she made the experience very fun! I had a tattoo done at another place and Dave agreed to go with the price they charged for the first line to do the next line. I will continue coming here!

Queens Speak Life

Damon the piercer is so bomb!!! He is very professional, he is serious about sanitation! He took the time and care to make sure I was safe and completely satisfied. His skills are amazing I didn’t feel a thing! Great personality and sense of humor. I would recommend him to anyone!!! Don’t forget to leave a tip, he’s absolutely worth every cent ❤️????????

Dea Stevens

Very clean. Knowledgeable staff, helpful and friendly. Will get another tattoo from them again.

Hanaa Amina

I got a tattoo here about a little less than a year ago. The artist was really rude and made me terribly uncomfortable. While shaving my arm he did it carelessly and even cut off the tip of my mole and left it bleeding. He dug into my skin and the entire tattoo is a raised scar, some of the ink is extremely spotty. I have to live with this forever. Please do NOT come here, I’m saving YOU from a lifelong mistake. Edit: clearly the shop does not care just based off the response.. a client says they were left with a scar for a tat and you make some joke off of it? very funny... like i said take your business elsewhere yall.

Morgan Arsenault

My piercer openly admitted he was drunk while piercing my face, and the color on my tattoo faded rediculously and was so patchy when it scabbed over. Save your money, save your skin.

Adryanna Kenna Sadge

The toxic male artist who approached me has absolutely no vision. I’ve gotten 7 tattoos since I was 23. While artists have helped me revise my vision to fit the canvas, I’ve never been treated so ignorantly. Furthermore, an artist would know how to blend 3 animal heads together into one tattoo. I’ve seen other people with multi-animal representation in one tattoo. Parts of the heads would be covered by the other heads. It’s art. Thanks for a long wait followed by a horrible experience. Side note: The owner was very friendly. The male tattoo artist (Dave, I believe) was extremely ignorant ... even when I relented and chose something more doable.

Ismael Novas

Very nice people, super patient, artists are nice

David Santiago

Great work for the price. Very happy with the end artwork. Thank you!

Imoni Moore

Jason is the best at what he does!!! My cover up was done perfectly!! Thanks Jason

Olivia Janelle

The team who works here is always super friendly. I always feel welcome. Even when I was getting my very first tattoo a couple winters ago, and didn't know the process, they never made me feel judged. They walked me through the front desk, and my artist had an excellent "bedside manner" (idk what else to call it lololol) that made me feel safe despite being poked 100's of times with a needle for a few hours haha. The quality of the work is incredible. I like to watch other people getting their tattoos while I wait for my artist to prep her space (not hovering of course, but from afar) and everyone there is super talented. Always always recommend. ????

Ravioli 23

Everybody is super kool.....no hassle....no pressure.....good prices & most importantly - " GOOD ART WORK " !!!

Monica Diaz-Serrano

Great job, both with my tattoo and peircing. The tattoo was done in January, the daith had to be repeirced at grimms bc it had started to close from another shop

Jamila Karim

First off, let me explain how amazing Damon is! Wasn’t our first time interacting with him. Each time he makes the experience pleasant, reassuring, and comfortable! The conversations are natural and you almost forget the needle. Never in session too long. Always in and out! Wouldn’t dare go to anyone else to get peircings if I can avoid it!

deseree harrison

It's cool if you want a tattoo done professionally after all the other shops close down.

Ashley Romig

Amazing. Blake fixed my tattoo, and made it look amazing. Took to heart that it had great sentimental value.

Bernadette Johnson

Awesome experience.. will always go back????

Nick Martin

Friendly staff, excellent artists, and amazing artwork

Jeremy Jones

David did a wonderful job

angela torres

Loved loved how my tattoo came out! Jayson did such a good job with giving the tattoo an artistic feel with small and large lines. He connected it very well. Also gave some awesome horror movie recommendations.

Jessica Whitaker

If you want some history on tattoos and where they came from this is the place to go!!

Phauxi Brown

I love the shop, Wes did my tatt a few years ago & did a great job! BUT CHELSEA the receptionist & LEAH the tattoo artist are VERY rude & racist. Chelsea mugged me when I came in, as if I was some bum off the street, didn't even say hello, I got a sassy "how may I help you". I had two finger tattoos done, but one on my right began to peel at the end & the ink looked invisible as if no one did anything whatsoever, & my lines were broken. I tried to explain that I understand that it was going to fade & I was concerned with the composition of only 3 of the 5 letters; but she YELLED at me in front of EVERYONE in the shop as if I was a child, I'm over 23 yrs old..she may as well spat in my face and called me a n!gger, b/c that's how I felt, & what makes it so bad, I tipped her the 1st time & I was pleasant when I walked in, but Wes handled it, but I'm not sure if I'll be going back.

jackie scott

Jason did a amazing coverup on my husband's arm.Will be going back.Davie did the first part of my tattoo.Very gentle and professional.Cant wait for the finished product.Thanks Guys.Your Awesome

Caroline Murphy

Grimm Tattoo is amazing!! I came in with girlfriends tonight to celebrate a special occasion in our lives, and the entire staff was so incredibly welcoming, professional, fun, and kind the for entire experience. Awesome people, and a really cool shop. A special thanks to Blake, Damon, Wendy, Jason, and the other artists who helped make this night SO fun for us! We will be back :)

Daniel Parker

I got mine from Owen. He's very professional and did a great job working on me with the design and to keep it within budget. Awesome sketch and his shading turned out great! Would definitely recommend.

Ashtin Markowski

Got my first tattoo here! Danni did a great job calming me down when I was nervous, and I’m very happy with my tattoo! I’d definitely come back. Everyone was super nice and chill and this place just has a good vibe.

will carriker

Kristie Schroeder

Jayson was amazing and made me and my daughter feel comfortable and safe. The tattoo’s ended up being better than what we expected/wanted. Definitely going back and highly recommend!

Adrian Perez

Jason was super cool recommended a good first tattoo, he was very professional worked with my ideas while embracing his talent would recommend to anyone visiting the shop

Cooper Allison (Cooper Kay)

I came in for my first tattoo with a group of girlfriends. We were all so excited to get tattoos to celebrate a big event! These people were so welcoming! It was the first tattoo for a lot of us & they made everyone super comfortable. They were quick and efficient! The place was very clean and my tattoo turned out great!! Thank you to Wendy, Jason, Rachel, and the other artists who helped us out! Highly recommend them to anyone!!

Victoria Goodnight

Loved it. Definitely going back

Krystle Noel

We showed up with 4 people for close to $1000 in tattoo work. We were told it would be an 1 wait and they took our number said they would call us and locked the door. The manager came out on a break and we told him we were going to walk around to the shops around their store while we wait. We never received a call. We go back and they took 2 more people in and then informed us that they take care of the people actually at the store before the people on the list. Not once did they say we had to sit outside in the rain and wait to be helped. Never have i ever had people act this way.

Ethan Dias

Got my ears pierced. Did a great job. Symmetrical and centered, looks great! Just walked in and asked. Clean and comfortable environment. Cash only. There is an ATM inside.

Tylor McCracken

Went about a week ago to the apprentice Blake. He did an amazing job. The staff was super friendly and I felt very at home there. I also love love love my tattoo!!!

BayLee Marie

I was a walk in a few months back and was able to be helped and tattooed fairly quick, the staff was absolutely wonderful and kind, listened and drew up exactly what I wanted. However when it came to the actual tattooing, mine are very scarred to the point of not being able to tell what it is. The artist shredded my skin in one place, and now I’m having to have it touched up by someone else. My tattoos were pretty small but still $100, and I have to have it fixed. Love the atmosphere and the rest of my tattoo is amazing! Just a bit disappointed. I also waited this long hoping 5hey would heal more and become legible but they’re just getting worse :(

Holly Stegall

Did a walk in and got a super dope tattoo. Trevor was super chill and totally personable. He did an amazing job and left a great impression. He was super excited to tattoo and seemed to get really into his work with creating a truly custom piece out of a common idea. I'll definitely be going to this shop more often.

Ashly Madison

Extremely talented artists. This is the only place I go to now. Their piercing guy is absolutely amazing. He knows what he's doing and is super kind.

Maggie Dolechek

Went in to get a nose piercing, had a bad placement previously. My piercer Damon made me feel very comfortable and was very knowledgeable about a better placement! Great pricing too:)

Rob Rolla

Always a blast at Grimm. Danni, along with everyone else there, are rad, awesome people.

Michael Meier

Clean shop, awesome atmosphere. Clean work. Love my tat. My girl loves hers. Go Chiefs.

R Binggeli

Paid 250 for a simple black arm piece. The artist boasted on her speed while doing the fill in. After a week of healing, there is very clear spots that were not hit with ink. There was no scabbing in the areas with no ink. Now it has been 2 months of emails and me just dropping in and she will not fix the problem. If you go here just hope you don't get Lindsay.

M K

Got my first piercings ever from Damon who was amazing, and one of the funniest professionals ive ever met. He told me everything about the experience, walked me through my first piercing in detail, while also having conversations with us about shared interests and being genuinely hilarious the entire time. Made my first experience extremely enjoyable and will be back for my next piercing

Queens of Clean LLC Leavenworth Ks

Jayson is an amazing artist

Tinman vu

Damon was super awesome with me getting my ears pierced, made me feel super comfortable and was nice despite it being a long busy day. Definitely would let him stab my ears again!!

Aislinn Johnson

I have 2 from here myself and have brought 2 additional customers here. It’s clean. Rachael is amazing. She has a great attitude, her work ethic is superb. I had a bad experience with one of their artists customer service there but because of Rachael alone, I’ll leave 5 stars.

Abbey Laughlin

Awesome shop, friendly staff, quick service, clean environment. Everything you could want in a tattoo shop! Will definitely be going back!

Tim McLeod Sr

It was a great time ! I went in to take my mind off life - and my artist had me laughing the entire time- it was like we had known each other all of our childhood ???? THANKS not only for an amazing tat - but the emotional therapy that said i could laugh again

Steven Garvey

Davey is great, entire shop is. Clean, walk-ins take some time to get in (duh, they're walk-ins), but it's definitely 100% worth it!

Alice Nelson

Welcoming, professional and clean. Very happy with my tattoo. Rachel was great in every aspect. Updating. Got another tattoo today. Jayson was amazing, loved listening to him talk about what he was doing and why. Blake was incredibly welcoming when I walked in the door. Felt comfortable. Coming back for more.

Brandy Franklin

They took me as a walk-in and was very fast. The only complaint is I know I was overcharged for the 2 tattoos I received. The work was done wonderfully I gave no complaints about that. Just make sure you discuss pricing before the work is done.

Kaway Secka

Damon is my guy! He was able to help me WAY better than a certain ‘other’ tattoo and piercing establishment near by. Next time I get a piercing, he’s definitely gonna be my go-to.

Greg Schroder

Fantastic work, and even better staff! Tons of Kansas City tattoo history here! Check them out!

dejia&jr Davis

They are very high and my tattoo I got is crooked

Nikki Nelson

Wait was ridiculous, considering they had nobody waiting. I got a very simple tattoo that I feel was merely *okay* and was charged $70 for it.

Tony W

Pretty awesome Place awesome staff willing to help out in any way possible with any of your piercings or tattoos

TXKEESH

????

Kate

David gave my brother his first tattoo today. He did a great job :)

Shelby Beckham

Walked in and had Danni do a quick hand tattoo. Super quick in and out and everyone who worked there was friendly and welcoming. The lines on my tattoo are SO CLEAN, especially for a tattoo on my fingers. It’s worth it to spend a little extra to get good quality. Check out Danni!!

Juan Martinez

One of the best place in kansas city MO great friendly people alot of skills love my tattoo????????????????

Stephanie Chichuk

Amazing artist

Tatum Sanders

This place is amazing!! Casey did my fiancé’s tattoo and mine and WE LOVE IT!! We just found our KC tattoo shop!!! Thank you Casey!!!

Jacob Aldred

I called twice before coming to make sure that the piercer, Damon, would be there today. The first time, they said he'd be in from 12:00 p.m. onwards, and the second time, they said from 5.00 p.m. onwards. Got there at 4.45 p.m. and waited outside till 5.45 p.m. ... never showed. No word from him at all and it didn't seem like anyone was trying to contact him. Disappointing and disrespectful. Don't see why I should try again there.

Amber Grant

Great people and great experience. Definitely will be going back. Highly recommended.

Christina Rinkenbaugh

Very friendly artists. they did great work

Bradley Payne

Wendy was awesome. Really enjoyed the whole vibe of the place. Thank you!

Britton Eastman

Good atmosphere. We were walk ins and first timers! Tattoo turned out great!

Elizabeth Sanie

Pointed out something I liked on the wall and Jason made it even better! Definitely recommend him for a quick & clean tattoo for sure

Robert schweder

Saip is a wicked artist, if you like being around people that make you comfortable and love their work, then this is the place to go. My 3rd experience at Grimms. Classic olde style shop with artists and staff who know how to do you right. Started my sleeve today I've almost waited 47yrs to do and it will be finished by the same guy. Looks can be decieving, but if you want something for the rest of your life you won't go wrong here.

Ryan Murphy

Good artists

Lakota Schied

Got my first tattoo here. I was a walk in and Wendy did my tattoo. She did awesome and has a great personality. I will definitely be coming back!

Nicole Ditzer

Love the owner and have lives every tattoo I’ve gotten from there!

Danielle Dickinson

They did a great job on my tattoo. Just a little slow with service but once in chair it goes quickly. Rachel is awesome..

Mesh Mac

The artist (didn't get his name) immediately made me feel like I wasn't welcomed into his shop.

Arin Whitney

I had a great experience getting my piercing done by Damon. He made me feel at ease while getting my piercing and made it fun too! He was very informative and I felt great when I left. I would definitely recommend him to a friend!

Mellanie Gray

My husband got a cover up and the guy helped him choose a tattoo that would cover it. Plus stayed late to finish it.

audrey pendergraft

When I came in to get my tattoo, it was the second time I had been to this parlor. I do have to say this second time was a lot better considering the artist really took his time on this one, which was really great. I got my tattoo done by Trevor and not only did he do a fantastic job, but he was also very easy to get a long with and talk to like a normal human being. Grimms Tattoo Parlor is a great place filled with great people. Thanks you Grimms.

Andrew Long

Don’t even feel like sharing my experience. It was a long time ago and it was horrid. Heard a friend mention their terrible experience here recently. Inspired me to spread the word. Don’t waste your time.

tessa wentworth

I got my lip pierced there because my dad knows the owner. The piercing guy is amazing he talked me through the Whole thing. I ended up taking it out cause I was alergic to the metal. But I am going back soon and getting my piercing again

Blanca Kenniston

Casey does amazing work! She is very patient and knows her stuff! We will be seeing her again.

Lauren W

Trevor did great.

Naimah Price

I feel alittle ripped off. I paid 180 for my tattoo. It feels like there's something missing. Like there could of been more done to it. Other than that she did a good job.

estebane yo

Long wait and exaggerated prices

Lorrieann Younger

This is a local, family owned business and has been for years! They have a stellar team and incredible talent here. The shop is personalized as you'd expect, but the entire establishment and facilities are very clean!

Pat Romig

Great friendly atmosphere and awesome artists

James Binggeli

Took Kim for her 1st tattoo with Casey

Johnathan Masters

Very friendly and down to earth staff. I always go here over other tattoo shops because I've never encountered an arrogant artist like I have at most other shops.

Equal People

Damon, the piercer, rules! He has specific times that he comes in so call before hand to make sure you are able to be seen. I got a nostril piercing and he took his time with me explained everything I didn’t know. I was considering going to different locations but very glad we ended up here.

KandT Snyder

Blake did an amazing job! Great line & color work, open to changes, & detail oriented. Very much appreciated his awareness to pain & attention to cleanliness. I’m already planning my next tattoo! Thank you Blake!

Mickey Kambeitz

My friend and I had planned on getting tattoos at another parlor, but when we arrived for our appointments, we were stood up. No calls or texts were every answered. You can imagine my happiness when I called Grimm Tattoos and explained our situation and was told to come on down! Of course as walk in's we had to wait in line which did take a couple hours, but we were so lucky and appreciative to even get in! The owner Wes was a wonderful host and made the time pass with ease. There is so much to enjoy in the shop that the wait didnt even matter. Our artists were flexible, creative, and fast! My friend and I left with exactly what we wanted for amazing prices and an experience we will never forget. THANK YOU GRIMM TATTOO ????

Gabby Brown

I did a walk in for a lilac tattoo. Rachel did a great job with this! Would definitely come again.

Winter G

Damon was amazing!! An amazing experience for my nose piercing, he explained everything and made sure we were comfortable the whole time.

jerry chenault

I've been to several tatoo shops in town this is the oldest in the city of Kansas City the artist of concerned about your art they are very professional concerned about your artwork and I have a great exchange of ideas when it comes to tattooing doesn't get much better than that especially when you are doing something very permanent I'm proud of those tattoos okay

Sharrone Hampton

Very professional and nice. Got in and out

swerve chilla

I've gotten 5 different tattoos from 4 different artists there. I love it. Its my go to place for tattoos :)

shannon hale

My friends were getting tatoos here both of them. I wasnt so I wasnt even allowed to sit inside or use the restroom. Even if i wasnt my ftiends were but i guess you have to spend money even if your with someone. I just feel thats bad customer service. I had to walk to walgreens and Jimmy Johns just to use the bathroom.

dblodgett61

The artists and staff at Grimm's are excellent. The owner and names sake can be found at the shop regularly and is always ready to share one of his amazing lofe stories with you. The artists are professional and very skilled, some of the metros top hands at this profession. The shop is clean and provides tou with a sense of comfort knowing all equipment, tables, and chairs are sanitized between each customer. You will always find a mixed bag of people here, but everyone is friendly and there to obtain some new art to adorn themselves with. I recommend this place to all who desire a new tattoo is a good location with great artists.

Chris Woods

Called 3 times no one answered the phone... Was trying to schedule a snake bite appointment I guess I'll go elsewhere.

Tyler Freeman

The staff was nice and friendly and helped figure out the best design for my tattoo. Will plan on getting a few more tattoos here.

Frank Mounce

Walked in on the 20th with only an idea of a tattoo for my wife who's in the ICU and in about 20 or 30 minutes Jason drew up an amazing piece for me!!! So glad I met these guys. Grimm is very affordable and extremely talented!!! Thanks guys Frank the hummingbirds guy

Patty Grosshart

Me and my sister come for a walk in. We didn't have to wait long at all. We got tattooed by Chris. He was nice and professional. Would go back.

Janet McElwaine

I got a nose piercing by Damon and he was really friendly and helpful. The process was quick and only cost me $35. I would definitely recommend him and will go back again!

Claudia Perryman

I've had this tatoo for 21 years and decided to get the colors touched up (added 3 more) and it came out just the way I wanted! Thanks Rachel❤

Neubonik band

Extremely good experience ????????

Amber Casto

Did an awesome job on a piece that needed alot of help. Clean place and friendly staff. Will definitely come back.

Jennifer Lewis

I did a walk in and Casey did my tattoo and did an amazing job she listened to what I wanted and created a beautiful tattoo for my son. Would definitely recommend Grimm Tattoo!!!

Alexis Lane

I have gotten three tattoos done there and I love it, the artists are all soooo talented and do great work. The knife was done by Josh Baumhauer, original art work, I love my tattoo! :)

Kelly K

Unskilled & Unsanitary I got my first ink from Wes 29 years ago & wanted to go back to his shop for a small tattoo before we moved from KCMO. *TOTALLY Regretful Decision* There don't seem to be standards in place for safe practices or skill levels. The woman artist I worked with said she'd re-draw my sketch to 'clean it up'. However, she didn't re-draw it yet still charged me for it. I went with the design 'As Is' and have no regrets on that, but the artist's actual inkwork is unacceptable. The lines are so thick and irregular (the original sketch had fine lines) that the letters bleed into each other. The worst part? She dumped so much ink into my arm that, months later, it still looked like pissed off Puffy Paint. I've spent the last year getting lazer treatments to remove what the technicians say is most likely contaminated ink and way too much of it.

Dean Guinard

The piercer named Daniel was super helpful. It was obvious he's all about doing the right thing when it comes to the art of peircing. Also had way better customer service than most of the food places ive been to. ... Just saying 10/10 going back

John McAllister

I had the pleasure of working with Dave on a touch-up today, and my experience was excellent. He answered all of my questions, addressed any concerns, and was able to make great reccomendations. He did a great job touching up small pieces of faded spots on the tatoo, making it look brand-new again! Thanks Dave, definitely will be coming back!

The girl with the green hair and glasses is VERY rude and unprofessional. We waited to get tattoos that only took 20 minutes for 8 HOURS and were on a list to be called. they weren’t calling anybody, the girl with the green hair insisted she would call and we could leave, but when we would come back to check every hour they kept taking people before us, even when we were standing right there and had been on the list for HOURS ahead of these people. instead of putting us quickly ahead of someone, they made us wait until the end of everybody to go, again even though we had been on the list. & when we got upset and asked to speak to the girl with the green hair & glasses she said “she didn’t feel like dealing with us” even though we just wanted an apology. Our tattoo artist was cool though and shocked we waited for 8 hours. She did a good job with our tattoos! The people at the front desk- learn how to communicate better and not lie to your paying customers.

Shelby Young

I’ve gone to Damon for five of my own piercings and severalllll of my friends piercings and I’ll never go to anyone else. He’s so professional and his pricing is very reasonable. Everything I’ve gotten done has been done so well and healed beautifully. He’s always so great and every time we see him it’s like catching up with an old friend. I’ll recommend him forever.????

Pnut

The artist was friendly and quick, touched up another tattoo as well as gave me a new one and I couldn't have asked for better service. Even with all this Covid related hecticness they managed to keep everyone safe and still stayed friendly

Leslie nites

I got literally the smallest tattoo that would've been like 50 or 60 bucks and they charged me $100. Don't come here if your looking for an affordable price

Hannah Young

First of all the tattoo artists are AMAZING and so friendly unlike most places who turn their nose up at you. And the piercer, Cordis is AWESOME, I've received numerous piercings from him and he's so nice and awesome at his job. This is the only tattoo/piercing shop I ever go to. They're freaking awesome.

Nicholas Cecchettini

Great friendly staff

Jakob Adamson

Got a tattoo today and the artist there were very friendly and very helpful. Glad that Jeff was there to do my tattoo. He is a great artist if your looking for a guy to go to he is the guy.

Margie Mcbride

The personnel were beyond professional and very excellent customer sevice !! The quality of work was unbelieveable!! I dont get alot of tatoos but if I ever want one again I wont go anywhere else!!

Olivia Atkinson

Got my nose pierced here by Damon and he did such an awesome job! Didn’t feel a thing! He was SO nice and made sure to go over everything I needed to know.

Shelly Rouse

I have many tattoos and gave Betsy a chance but she is HORRIBLE I got a wrist tattoo and it's overlapping my wrist on 1 side My daughter n law got a word with first letter supposed to be bubble letter hot pink. .it's Red My mother then refused to let her do hers I will not down this place but DON'T LET BETSY TOUCH YOU SHE WAS PISSY BC A GUY QUOTED US DIFFERENT PRICES AND SHE WANTED TO SCREW US

Camden Bates

Cool spot

Veronica Bobadilla

I got my tattoo from Jason and he was so awesome. Very professional and nice! I would def go back to him. I got my tattoo on my sternum and he was very comforting

Destiny Crain

Katie was sweet professional and did a great job definitely going back for more

Cheyenne

Amazing! The artists are so talanted and friendly! Super fast too! My fiance and I absolutely love our new tattoos we got for our 5 year anniversary. We just walked in too. I highly recommend Rachel who did mine, she has a super light but steady hand. And Zach did my fiance's pizza pentagram. He is thrilled with out amazing it came out! Super clean shop, tons of ideas and portfolios to look at. Honestly probably the best place in KC to get a tattoo. We will be back for sure on our next trip.

James QL Baughman

Knowledgeable staff

Crickett Bugg

Was here 2 years ago and they did great! Today over priced and poor service. They could care less if they gave you a tat or not. I will not be returning. Needless to say no tat today either.

Annie Stewart

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We were walk ins from out of state and even though they were VERY busy we were in and out within 2 hours. Will definitely go back in the future!

pamela Newman

Damon the piercer he did an excellent job and I recommend going back to him for any other piercings

Tarrerae Grubb

Rude customer service.

anna smith

very dissatisfied. we have come several times around 8 or 9 and asked if we could do a walk in and they tell us they can’t, even though there is only one person in line. we have even called ahead of time and asked availability and they said they’d call us back but never did. if they don’t tattoo past 10:30 then they shouldn’t advertise they are open until 12. the workers at the front desk are very kind but i think the management is flawed. i totally get first come first serve but even when no one else is in line we are denied service. lots of lost business for people with a busy schedule who are happy about the one place “open till midnight”.

Maggie Hayes

Service is slow, but work is good.

Jayden Deatherage

Absolutely great experience!! All the artists are fantastic, and made for a great time and tattoo!!!

Joe Mattli

Leeuh is an amazing artist. I've used her for 2 tattoos now and couldn't be happier with my tattoos or the shop!

Katherine Brinkman

Went to Grimm on a mini vacation and they are absolutely wonderful! Staff is all extremely friendly and nice. They do fabulous work too! Not just that, but they all love what they do and get so excited for what you’re getting! Will 10/10 recommend to anyone who is in this area and if I ever come back to Kansas City, this where I’ll get my next tattoo!

Alexander Connell

Have gotten all 8 of my tattoos from this shop and every one is beautifull and perfect. Leeuh is by far one of the best artists in kc and has done the majority of my work leaving me more than satisfied every time. Will continue to get my work from wes and Leeuh untill I no longer have the option. Love the people love the shop love the atmosphere love the work.

Nathan Carter

I went to get a labret piercing and it was by far the most educational, most professional, enjoyable, awesome, and quality experience ever at a shop! Damon took the time to explain everything from start to finish in multiple ways, then gave me the opportunity to ask questions about having this piercing long term and the process immediately following getting it done. I not only found my new piercer but made a friend in the business. Damon is an outstanding piercer and goes the extra mile to make it as wonderful experience possible!!

Meena Allada

Damon did my nose piercing and he was amazing! i had a bad experience at a different shop in the past and damon was very informational and reassuring. I would definitely recommend anyone to go here.

Karen Young

Got my first Tattoo at Grimm Tattoo. Good experience, professional and talented artists and good prices. Highly recommend.

Jessica Clark

Great experience! Aaron was great!!

Jaden Perry

I got my nipples done here about a month ago and they look Great! I’m not going to put up picture, but just trust me lol. Really cool dude who did them, good service, good vibes. I’m going back tonight to get my nose done. I recommend Grimms. :)

Cierra morgan

I went to Grimm tattoo about two weeks ago and they had me waiting for 3-4 hours all for my tattoo to look a mess

Gary Woods

This is the Only place I get tatted at and I’m happy every time! Ask for tatto Artist “TK”! He’s dope! Super fast and talented!

Paige Rife

My friend and I went in around 9pm because their website said they were open til midnight. When we walked in the manager sighed and looked so annoyed. We told them we only wanted a few small tattoos, but you could tell they were very annoyed and did not want to do the tattoos. We hesitantly decided to stay even though we were scared the tattoos would come out rushed and sloppy. After we waited and filled out the paperwork they came out saying they had actually cleaned all the needles and wouldn’t be able to tattoo tonight. Very unprofessional and will not be going back.

Brittany Rush

10/10 do recommend! They did an excellent job with the tattoo that I got. We waited quite awhile for the artist, but the staff was really friendly.

David Brandon

The only tattoo place I've ever seen with a roach problem.

Camille Baker

They did a fantastic job and gave me exactly what I wanted. Would recommend and planning on returning to this shop in the future

Levi Atkinson

Love this shop! I use Katie as my tattoo artist. She is always kind and empathetic to the client's needs. Whether it was mine during a long session on my sleeve or another client's in a sensitive area like the ribs. She hasn't ever copy and pasted any work, it's always her artistry going into the skin. Her favorite style is photorealism and I will only use her for it. She is an amazing artist. I would recommend her to anyone looking at getting more ink or their first tattoo.

Kyle Krier

The artists at Grimms shop aim to please and that's all that needs said!

Christian Misangyi

Friendly staff. Great artwork. I will be coming back

Matthew Hutchison

Walked in on Sunday afternoon and was able to get something done fairly quickly. Artists were dope.

tsbonham

Nothing more than a flash art shop. Do not bring anything custom to them. Their line work is shaky and not straight. We will never go back they were very over priced for weak talent and work. Maybe better with flash art straight from a template and no shading or color saturation. That is about all their skill set can handle.

Blake Van Vleck

Great vibes in this place!!

Logan Noonan

I went to Grimm Tattoo as a walk in and I made an appointment with KT the tattoo lady for the next day. (She fit me in her schedule as soon as she could, for a tattoo that ended up being 7 hours!!) From the beginning she was super down to my ideas and adjusted them to the way she knew it would be the best. She is all about her work, she did everything she could to make the piece of art be fine and detailed. She is the best tattoo artist i have been to. She is all about her work and I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE! We are from a different state and I will definitely be coming back to her and recommending people to her as well! Follow her instagram page!! dame_electrique

Drake W

Got a simple, high quality tattoo of my daughter's name on my chest. They were busy but were great about welcoming us as customers. They were very helpful with finding me something that fits perfect.

Carter Long

Wasted 5 hours of my time here. Trash service, not only unprofessional but unhelpful. After giving them my name, number and picture of what i wanted,I waited 4 hours to get a call back, I finally called them, they said they had someone ready for me but when I showed up a cocky dude with neck tats basically said I would have to make an $50 appointment for the same tattoo they guaranteed me they could do that day, 4 hours earlier. Wes Grimm should get his shop in check. Till then, don't waste your time or money.

Sarah Calvin

Wonderful inviting professional people.

Sally Coker

One of the best experiences I've ever had! I was blown away by Danni and how she understood exactly what I imagined!

Letha Raiderette

I would most definitely be coming back mi nd my sister got this tattoo last night we was walk ins got there about 5ish was out about 8ish! I can't remember the guy that tattooed mi but I would highly recommend!

Lane Schmidt

Dan at the front desk is great and very personable!! Casey does a great job on her designs and the entire process was amazing.

Zelda A.

Went here a ways back,I picked a heavy set lady after looking at books of the work, she did a lot of toons. I showed her what I wanted. She didn't redraw my work-im not an artist- but I'd let it slide, I could live with it, I can't live on the fact I'm 98% sure at that time they used bad ink on me and like 3 of my friends (who we didn't know each of us got tattoed there...and by the same chick til I complained to them) some dude with a bird tryed to fight it til I showed the work and said I wanted it removed, but they talked me into free color sessions-saying it'd look better. WRONG! I won't let them touch me again and im sticking with mercy seat.

Shane Cluver

Awesome place fast and friendly

Taylor Land

I walked in to get my belly button done and I got right in. No wait and super friendly. The front desk woman was super sweet and Damon as well. I definitely recommend Damon for body piercings, he was super honest and made it a fun environment since I was nervous. Definitely will be coming back!

Christapher Beeney

Ask for one thing got another paid 250$ for a 60 dollars Tatto thought I was getting a lot more then that I came prepared with pictures and my exact idea of what I want thinking I was going to get that as I made sure to ask if he was able to do it like I want since its on my body the rest of my life got to the part I wanted and whent in checked it in the mirror it was super lopsided the shading was horrible there where straight lines randomly in there going threw my other tats I ask why is it like that and I want it changed asap he said he would, he did more then I got up looked in the mirror still not right he says I have to wait tel it heals to see what's going on witch it's my 7 Tatto first one there so I know what's going on he rushes me out I don't want to pay the 250 but I did I couldn't stand what he did to my arm ruined three other of my tattoos by drawing lines that made no since right threw my other tats I came back to the shop the very next morning talking to the owner of the Bussnies to see if I would be able to get it fixed the right way he starts to be very rude just snapping on everything I have never be disrespected so much and if it was a burger like fast food I would blow it off but this is art that's on my body for the rest of my life and the way the owner and the people that work there act the place should be shut down I showed them so much respect and they took advantage of that this place is not worth your time body or money

sawyer goldizen

Wendy Scott was absolutely amazing! Walked in on a holiday, me and my friend both got tattoos from her and she's fun to be around! Can't wait to return

Jose Marroquin

Super friendly staff. 10/10 would go again.

Erica Helsel

I don’t know how my kids convinced me, but we got a simple family tattoo with the kids initials and air hearts ... it was my first and I was extremely nervous! Danni did a great job and kept me at ease!! Everyone was friendly and professional. Ty for the awesome experience.

Raymond Swartz

I had my wife pierce her ear. Fun place.

lisa chander

Amber Medlin

I got a tattoo from Blake who has only be apprenticing for a short while. It was one of the best experiences I've had getting a tattoo and Blake did an amazing job. Grimm Tattoo is so cool, there is so much history there and it did not disappoint. Go get a tattoo at Grimm!!!

Rosalind Levy

Love it ????????????

Meagan Tackett

This place was absolutely awesome and the people that worked there were cool! It was definitely worth the wait time! Highly recommend Jayson! He did an amazing job! Thank you guys!

Nathan Bonwell

Loved it. Wendy is awesome!!!!!!!!!????. The next tattoo will be at Grimm and Wendy will be doing it. Love her.

Cierra Hoskins

I got my first tattoo done with Aaron and he did an amazing job! He stayed real with me as I was not for sure what to expect and made this experience very pleasant! I highly recommend.

Ethan Armstrong

Super cool staff and my tattoo turned out great! Great pricing as well will be coming back!!!

Kayci Porter

My husband and I walked in and had an just an image of what we wanted. These guys did it perfect! Very friendly and professional!

Rosaland Thurman

Nice tattoo

babi gurl

It was really awesome i love my tattoo david did he did an amazing job

Craig Lee

Very rude

joel castillo

I want thank Mr. Roque for the amazing peice and for making my daughter and I feel at home the other day when we came in... Welcome back to KC & I'll be back for more work very soon!!!!

Jessica Parker

I paid a good amount of money, and the tattoo doesn’t match that. I am sick about how bad it is, and not sure what to do. The shading makes no sense either. He should really tell you if he cannot do a tattoo instead of just doing it.

Andy Caraway

Boo! Attitude galore. Piercer was really cool though. The main guy, or at least the guy who usually approaches you when you come in is very dismissive. Is not willing to do work or does things reluctantly when the light says open. If you don't want to do the work on a walk-in ... dont act ad if you cant be bothered. And the marijuana reeks there.

darek dallavalle

After going to grim I have no choice but to leave a negative review. I had a forearm piece that one of the artist did. The artist completely botched some of the symbols in my piece after I tried to set an appointment to have it fixed I was told I would have to come in as a walk in on a Monday or Tuesday which is ridiculous. I went ahead and did that with little choice and went as a walk in where I was told I probably wouldn’t be seen that day wasting a working day completely. So I tried again to make an appointment with the artist i was told the same thing so I stated I would just go elsewhere to have it fixed. The artist then began to laugh at and insult me. I would not recommend this establishment. I have seen great work come out of there but the business ethics are absolutely terrible. Danni p. Was the artist.

Joshua Atkinson

Dope Friday the 13th $20 tattoo specials!!!

Matt Skelton

Layed back and get some ink done

Amy Atchison

My daughter and I went here to get a tattoo. We were able to just walk in and get what we wanted. We both had Jayson and he was awesome. Very friendly and I enjoyed talking to him about his past experiences as an artist. Thank you Jayson. From the both of us

Melanie McDowell

Amazing artist and the piercer is fantastic ????
