Reviews of A Darker Path Tattoo Studio (Tattoo Shop)

Every time I get tattooed by Caela, I leave extremely happy with the work she’s done for me. The staff have been very kind and welcoming to me whenever I’ve been tattooed. If you love great tattoos, definitely the place to go.

The artists at this shop have terrible customer service. The worst I've ever experienced, and I have a ton of tattoos. Do not go here. You'll be treated like dirt.

I think Caela is the best artist I’ve encountered. I got a few tattoos from others before her and it was definitely not the same experience. She is very thorough in her consultation process, she is always realistic about what can and can’t be done. When I wanted a specific font she looked out for me by saying “I can do that, but those lines will really blur over time.” I really appreciate that about her. When I went with her suggestion I loved the tattoo so much more. All of my tattoos are Christian and she really respects that and helps me get the tattoo of my dreams! I’ve gotten black and white old English font tattoo from her and also a beautiful colorful rose. She takes her time, she’s very precise, she really is an artist. She’s very clear about price, touch ups, and how to care for the tattoo. She even explained how my color would fade if I didn’t properly use sunscreen. A few other artist have made me uncomfortable, to be honest, it’s just nice to have the tattoo done by a woman. She makes me feel comfortable and I don’t have to worry about her being a creep like A LOT of other artists. She’s the best and the only one I trust.

My experience at this shop has been great every time. The shop itself is very clean and has a nice vibe to it. The artists and management are super welcoming and make me feel at home every session I go back for. As for Mario Bautista who’s been tattooing me the past few months, he’s nothing short of amazing! I had a cover up that I took to 5 other tattoo artists before him who turned me down and he was the only one who actually sat down and worked with me. Amazing job on every tattoo he’s done on me. Couldn’t be more grateful Aaron opened this place!

Very clean and well taken care of shop. Scott is a fantastically talented artist and has always done a great job on all my tattoos. Could not recommend him enough and will continue to come here to have work done.

I had the best experience with Caela! My mom and I got matching tattoos and they are everything we could have wanted and more! Thank you so much Caela!

Beautiful shop, very clean. I have been tattooed by Caela and will definitely have more work done by her.

I don’t believe any of the negative reviews on here . . . I have had two sessions with Aaron so far. Hands down the BEST in the business. The studio is beautiful and extremely clean. Everyone is professional. While I’ve only had amazing work done by Aaron, the other artists offer different but superior quality art as well. Don’t waste your time trying to find anywhere else!

Professional, great experience, got tattoos from Aaron and Zach. ALL turned out amazing. Very positive vibe in shop with all artists. Would not waste my time anywhere else. Best shop in northwest Indiana. One stop shop for any tattoos. They will have the artist you are looking for

I absolutely love Caela! Not only is she talented but she has a great personality to go with it. The shop is clean and everyone that works there is friendly as well. Caela does such a great job that I made an appointment for my second tattoo before we were even done with my first one.

Disappointing. I was tattooed by Caela, and she is very rude. I attempted to contact her several times throughout the 6-month window where a touch-up on a small tattoo she did for me would have been complimentary. She ignored me until the 6-month window had passed, when she suddenly responded and then tried to make me pay the shop minimum again for a touch-up that should have been addressed months earlier. What a scam.
