Reviews of Arrowhead Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

Kyleigh Durst

Anna is simply amazing. Her shop is beautiful - filled with natural light and plants, and still warm and welcoming. Anna herself is sweet and amazingly easy to open up to. We had one consultation and when I came in for my tattoo, she had captured almost exactly what was in my head. I had one issue - the font - and she was so patient with me while we searched for one that I loved. During the session she seemed to know when I needed a break without me even saying anything, and she put me at ease with her willingness to open up in return to what I was saying to her. I went into this excited but also full of anxiety due to a previous bad experience with a different artist - I came out with a BEAUTIFUL piece and a deep sense that this was exactly the right place for me to go.

Anna created a breathtaking design for me from some very specific ideas that I had been holding for a while. I am so glad I trusted her with this, it came out even better than I had imagined! The day of my appointment she greeted me by name. Her studio is very clean and welcoming, with glorious natural light, chill music, and happy plants! I made some last minute changes to the ideas we had discussed and she really listened and adapted the sketch right there, including me in the design. I felt very cared for. This was a sensitive piece with a lot of emotions attached to it and she truly captured it all in our 3 hours together. I will absolutely go back to her! She is a true gem in the Midwest, with authentic respect and reverence for the significance and culture of tattooing.

Arrowhead Tattoo is the best! Anna is an amazing artist and a pleasure to work with. She's a total professional and sensitive to her clients through the whole process. I've gone to Arrowhead for over 20 of my tattoos now and people constantly ask me where I get my work done - I really can't recommend them highly enough!

I got my brows micro-bladed from Anna Sica at Arrowhead Tattoo and could not be HAPPIER! I have a fair complexion and really light eyebrows that were not very noticeable before. It has completely changed my face and confidence. Her work is impeccable. It looks so natural and subtle, I highly recommend it to anyone in the surrounding area looking for microblading. Her attention to detail and client hospitality made the whole process smooth and fun. The shop has a calm and upscale vibe, can't wait to go back!

Marcel Dios Herrera

When I saw her ink-game thanks to my awesome girlfriend, is when I knew; all 36 years holding out getting any tattoo work done on my body, Anna would be the one. She is skilled, patient, all positive vibes, and to top it all off - TALENTED. Her studio; a quite and peaceful shop in Downtown Fairfield Iowa, defines her workmanship - detailed minimalistic aesthetic sanctuary. Anna will be the only tattoo artist to do any and all of my work.

Arrowhead Tattoo is a total hidden treasure—you won't get a better tattoo anywhere. Anna is an incredibly talented artist who pours herself into every design she creates. I have gone to Anna for two tattoos as well as eyebrow microblading (a form of permanent makeup), and I've been so happy with the results each time. I get a lot of compliments on my tattoos and even on my eyebrows! They look natural but also fuller and more defined. If you're looking for a professional who can create a one-of-a-kind tattoo for you, Arrowhead Tattoo is the place to go. I know I'll be going back.

Anna is the dam queen, truuully one of the best tattooers I know. Anna is gifted in a way that is mind boggling honestly. I'm friends with a fair amount of tattooers and honestly Anna has an attention to detail and a vision that is unparalleled.

Samantha JoAnn

Anna is ommmazing! I have a dozen tattoos and my favorite experience AND art is my piece done by Anna. She is incredibly even handed, and can make the most ordinary designs look extraordinary with her killer shading! I will never trust another artist the way I trust her... I recommend her highly to anyone looking for a unique and stunning tattoo with clean lines!

I got my first tattoo from Arrowhead Tattoo on the side of my ribs. I've heard this is typically pretty painful, but I didn't feel any! I felt well taken care of and the tattoo came out great. I highly recommend the tattoo artist, she's great!

Camille Morehead

I've gotten several tattoos from Anna, as well as microbladed eyebrows and freckles for cosmetic tattoos. The shop is extremely cute and clean, and Anna is professional and does a great job. Absolutely no one can tell that my freckles are tattoos and not real! My tattoos that Anna has done are my favorites, and I get compliments on them all the time. 10/10 highly recommend!

Erin MacPherson

Anna is a true artist, and I have admired her work for years. I will be getting a tattoo from her soon, but my first priority was to get my brows done by her via microblading. She is incredibly skilled and very very detail oriented, and it shows. She also is very good at walking you through every step of the process so you’re not caught by surprise by any of it. My brows look phenomenal, and I am now about two weeks out of the touch-up appointment, with even more amazing results. I highly recommend her and her services, and I’m an extremely tough critic when it comes to body art. **Edit: I've just taken the plunge and had Anna do my upper eyelid liner (lash enhancement), and I couldn't be more thrilled. It looks SO. GOOD. While it's called "liner," it actually involves enhancing the natural lash line and leaves a gorgeous, natural-looking effect that makes the eyes POP. Didn't hurt, felt buzzy more than anything. Highly recommend!!

Rachel Lansky

Arrowhead Tattoo is hands down my favorite tattoo artist. Not only was Anna sweet and patient with me but her creativity shines through in each piece of ink she creates. She's given me 3 of my 6 tattoos and each of them was perfectly designed/sketched by her before our appointment. Her unique eye for detail, steady hand, and clean environment has made me a client for life. She makes you feel safe and truly taken care of.You will not regret coming to her for her services.

LaToya Crick

I love Anna's work and personality! I felt very comfortable in her presence and she is an amazing artist. I will definitely be going back to her for my next tattoo. <3

Ernie Sica

ANNA IS EPIC!!!! :) She is a true artist. Before tattoo, she was an outstanding painter with a fine arts degree. She is highly trained and has worked with some of the finest tattoo artists in the WORLD. She also has extensive training and experience in the newest fine-line techniques. I love the tattoo she gave me and you will LOVE the very unique tattoo that she will create with you, JUST FOR YOU!

Cynthia Simos

Anna is a true artist. Her care and attention show in her amazing skill and in the refinement of her design. Her work is detailed and is the most beautiful body art I have ever seen. Beyond that, Anna can do amazing post surgical and cosmetic tattoos. I got an amazing mother-daughter design. We both love it! I would encourage anyone to go see Anna. She is the real deal! Love her!

Sara Hawthorne (PlanetarySara)

Anna is a true artist! Her attention to detail, her confidence in her work, and her shining bright smile will all put you at ease. Whether you're going for your 1st tattoo, a new cometic procedure, or your 17th tattoo you're in good hands with Anna!

Jaime Thatcher

Mariah Coleman

I got a sick stick and poke tattoo done by Lori! She does awesome work!

Drew Mares

Taylor is an amazing tattoo artist and I am so happy with the work she's done. It hasn't even been a full week yet and the tattoo is almost fully healed. The healing process was completely painless and I think out of all my tattoos this one healed the quickest and the best. She is very creative and took the general guidelines I gave her and turned it into something amazing! Would highly recommend going here to get any tattoo done

Anne Schons

Anna is amazing. She's caring, thoughtful, patient, and she did an excellent job on my brow microblading. Totally worth the drive from Iowa City and the corridor. She's the best in this whole part of the state.

Diana F.

i am so grateful that i got my first tattoo (i'm 45) from anna. i wanted a palm tree and she sketched one from a photo i have taken in our street. it is PERFECT and a stunning piece of art! it was an amazing experience, she is super calm yet so fun to be with. i felt very relaxed and well taken care of. look no further! anna rocks that inc! i wish she'd live & work in l.a. though. think i'd get a tattoo from her every other month. ;-)

Ade Macalinao

i met anna when she was in los angeles but had set up an appointment a couple weeks beforehand. i had never been tattooed before and she was very patient with me, sent me a design to confirm that it was what i wanted/liked, and set up very quickly. she's extremely professional and a pleasure to talk to, which made the whole experience memorable. she even followed sterile precautions with my tattoo to a T and made me feel very comfortable throughout the session with chats about everything ranging from meditation to her experiences living in a major city - definitely have to say that this experience was enough to begin my journey into getting more tattoos! thanks anna! xo

Cecilia Y. Khoury

Anna is so talented! Iowa is blessed to have an artist like her. Her shop is beautiful. Her artwork the same! She is super sweet and cooperative and works with you until you get what you want! Shes amazing! Her work in floral and small lines is so stinkin amazing! We love her!

Tabi Hickey

anna sica is a master of the micro-blade! ever since i was 12 years old, i have always been self conscious of the way my eyebrows didn't match the hair on my head. i found the whole experience with anna very soothing, her demeanor exudes confidence and that brought me a comfort that simply cannot go unmentioned. i've attached before and after-healing photos, as well as an indoor shot of the detail. thank you anna!

Kimber O'Brien

Anna is a fantastic artist. Her attention to detail is phenomenal and she's very accommodating. Great experience! Will be returning.

Dusty Moon

Anna is a super talented tattoo artist and is also and very hospitable and personable. The multiple sessions I've had with her went very well and I am more than pleased with the results. Very clean environment (very important for this type of service) and I would recommend her to anyone looking for some ink. 5 Star Service!

Rachel Cook

Lori did detailed and beautiful work. I'm so happy!

Spring

Anna recently microbladed my brows, and I can't tell you how awesome it is to have a full brow, beautifully shaped, completely natural looking, and not need to use any makeup. I have total trust in Anna's aesthetic and skill level. She's also done all of my tattoos -- she's seriously talented as an artist and it shows in every piece she designs and executes.

Laura Deaton

I went in worried, anxious and scared. Anna was kind, caring and worked at making me comfortable with the entire process. This was my first tattoo, my biggest fear was the needle part of receiving a tattoo. Anna helped me overcome it and the end results is a beautiful cross which feels like it was placed with a true artist compassion. I can’t thank Anna enough ????

Ace Boothby

Anna is really talented, professional, and experienced. Her line work is amazing! This is the place to be for tattoos in Iowa.

Katie Kelafant

Anna is awesome!! She has a totally unique style and is wonderful to work with. Her prices are reasonable and she works quickly, as well. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking to get their next tattoo :)

Timothy Shaw

Anna was great! She gave me my first tattoo and was very patient and skilled. I'm happy and will definitely go back when I'm ready for the next one.

Paul Strubell

I have had several pieces done by Anna at Arrowhead and I have always been pleased with the work and the environment she creates. Highly recommend giving her a look for your next tattoo.

Sarah Sica

I got my first tattoo from Anna. It was a comfortable experience and I love my tattoo. This is a pic of it when she was finished. She is incredibly professional and has an amazing artistic talent. I highly recommend her.

Sarah Ziegenhorn

Anna is lovely and super talented at creating original designs, translating conceptual ideas into design/artwork, and at reproducing other images. Her line work is very fine, and I get compliments on the originality and craftsmanship of her work while traveling all over the world

Tiffani Brush

Anna really does some amazing work. I recently got my microblading done by her and I'm so very happy and impressed with my experience. I would recommend arrow head tattoo to everyone!

Meara Oberdieck

I have thin brows and went in for microblading a few months ago. I've never had a tattoo of any kind before, so I was nervous. Anna's confidence and skill quickly put me at ease. We drew on the shape that I'd like, and she let me edit it so that it was perfect. As we went, I realized I wanted my brows to be a bit fuller, so she continued to build them until they were absolutely flawless. I was beyond impressed, I absolutely love my brows now! Thank you Anna! Now I just need to get my first tattoo.

Rebecca Lansky

I’m never a person that writes reviews. But my tattoo I got at arrowhead is so beautiful I had to! Anna is a master with florals and delicate leaves. She has a style unlike anyone else and mastered my wild roses on my ribcage. The shop is modern and professional, unusual for a small Iowa town in my experience. Her tattoos have a style of New York artists and a true gem in the Midwest. In love with my new flowers

Victoria Ridout

Anna is a really talented tattoo artist. I got a bumblebee done by her and she did an incredible job. Her studio is clean and she is very professional. I highly recommend her.

Lindsay Klein

Anna is amazing! I had my eyebrows micro-bladed even though I liked the shape, I just didn't want to have to fill them in anymore. She listened to what I wanted with my eyebrows and I never have to fill them in anymore!! I get complements everyday on they way they look! I have seen her work permanent make up and tattoos on others too! She is very good!

Sarah Martin

Hand poked tattoo she did an amazing job

Miranda Thomas

Anna micro-bladed my eyebrows and I love them!

Graham Thatcher

Couldn't be more happy with my tattoo! Anna does amazing work, I will definitely be using her for any future tattoos. I highly recommend her to everyone!

Brea Hallen

Arrowhead tattoo is the best! Anna helped make my tattoo vision a reality. She takes her time making sure you have exactly what you want. Her shop is warm and inviting, and she is easy to talk to. I would (and will) go to her for my next tattoo in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Cassandre Simmons

So welcoming, sanitary, calming environment and the artwork that they create is one of a kind!

Sylvia Shay

Anna is an amazing tattoo artist. She beautifully executes detailed/complex designs and has an excellent eye for composition. Can’t recommend enough.

Bretta McCall

I've never written a review of anything before but I was so disappointed in my experience here I needed to say something. When I arrived for my appointment, despite email correspondence including me sending detailed notes on my design and reference photos, Anna had no idea who I was or what I was there for. She showed me a design that was not at all what I'd asked for and then quickly drew up a design for my tattoo. I should have just walked out and lost my deposit. I felt rushed and one of the plants I asked her for looks nothing like the actual plant. The shape of the petals and leaves is totally off. I was disappointed because of her great portfolio and reviews but I wish I hadn't gone here. This was my fourth tattoo and my other artists were so much more professional and caring.

Bryce Vorhies

Anna is a phenomenal artist and does incredible tattoo work. 10/10 would go again.
