Regina Ward- Regina The Energizer!

Very clean and friendly! Rich was very professional and knowledgeable about my piercing. I really appreciated all the information he provided as he did the procedure! Thank you!

Sharmeen Chauhdry

Andrea Burg is an amazing artist

Emily Giordano

Iconic is the BEST. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, ultra clean and professional. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Deja Farr-Lowery

Piercing, he was very fast and most importantly, friendly.

Michele Nelson

Very clean and professional would definitely recommend

Tarina Bynum

Too expensive for location!

Brandon Foster

Steve Sype is the best. Such a cool dude, very accommodating, totally professional, and a great tattooist. The shop has a super cool, laid back atmosphere. Highly recommended

Tina Muzzi

This shop has a classy, calm, clean and modern aesthetic. It was such a relief to walk into the space and NOT hear loud thrashing death metal (like a lot of older tattoo studios). The women who were working at the front desk the three times I went in (one for my initial consultation, one to check if the drawing was what I wanted, and one for the actual tattoo) were really friendly and welcoming. Even though I didn’t have a really clear idea of what I wanted apart from simple flowers on my forearm, Andrea came up with a really beautiful design and was equally as skilled at tattooing. She’s a fantastic artist, as are all of the people working there. This shop is highly revommended.

Craig

The piercer is total pro. Felt like a doctor he knew so much.

Scott Stringer

Absolutely ask for Steve Sype. Such a fantastic artist. He knows getting a tattoo is a commitment and he is very patient. He wants to ensure you are happy with your art. Super kind to boot.

Jason Heien

Every tattoo shop is different just as art is subjective. But my preference is precision, and line work. Almost like a technical illustration. For this type of art, I would strongly recommend Andrea Burg, here at Iconic Tattoo. Check her work, and you I'd you are like me, you will be thoroughly impressed. I can't wait to get more artwork done by her.

Went here for the first time with my girlfriend and we both got tattoos from Casper. His work is amazing and he's genuine as they come. Couldn't say anything negative about my experience.

Brooks Weber

First timer...was completely ripped off of $200 deposit. Chose Andrea based on a connection to my Dad, who recently passed away and taught at CCS where Andrea attended. I came in for schedule appointment, showed her my ideas and photo samples. She took a $200 deposit, committed to working on concept and scheduled me out several weeks. She later called and texted me saying she was moving and her sister was having a baby so she had no art or concept yet. She said if she did not complete them before appt., we could reschedule. I asked her to email me some examples of concept before I drove from Troy into the city. No follow up communication. Then I got a call from studio mgr telling me I missed appt. After explaining what had occurred, he had Andrea speak to me and she said “her professional policy” was not to email art or discuss b4 appt...then she asked me to drive in and if I didn’t like it, I could reschedule. No explanation of this at first meeting or in subsequent communication. I’m a 60 year old Army veteran spending potentially over $1000 for my first tattoo after just loosing both parents...very insensitive and unprofessional. Lastly, Andrea’s speech was slurred in several conversations. Made me feel she was not reliable and was throwing my concept together at last minute. In the end, they refused to show me ANY art or concept or refund my deposit. Taking complaint to Mi BBB.

ZaNiayiah Smith

Love going there! I like they nose jewelry!

Nichole Borowski

I had my appointment with Meg for 2 tattoos. It was a very clean space and everyone was very welcoming.

Ang W

the space is always clean and they are very diligent about safety protocols, esp w/covid. i have seen andrea for tattoos and rich for piercings and they are both awesome, very professional.

Laney Sullivan

CJ is an incredible artist! He drafted and designed my tattoo until it was exactly what I wanted! I was nervous about getting a tattoo on my side, but he was super professional through it all and I’m so happy with the end result. Clean place and great staff. Would definitely recommend this place and I will be going back!

Mea Ebenbichler

My daughter and I both needed our piercings addressed my nasal and her nipple. Amazing service very knowledgeable and multiple certifications and affiliation with national piercing association.

ZaNiyah Thomas

I love my nose piercing!

Deborah Robertson

Great customer service. Their work is awesome.

DMichele Hansley

Rich is absolutely the best piercer ever! And the lady at the front desk was super nice and friendly!

Angeline Petrenz

Matt, Rich and staff are the best of Detroit. Everyone at Iconic is very professional, kind, super informed and at the top 100% of what they do. Since the days of XS, spanning to these days of Iconic, these guys have always been my #1 recommended artists. ????

Sun Kara

It was really nice, got a rooky piercing done, rarely hurts, he takes the time out to explain how to take care of your piercing, I will come back again!

Ben Crysler

Clean, friendly, and professional.

harleyjim35

Absolute integrity. Sent my 19 Y/O daughter there for an industrial piercing consult. Instead of taking her money, she was told her ear anatomy was not ideal for what she wanted. and she did not get it. (gave tip).

Rachel C

Chase was absolutely the nicest person and best tattoo artist I've come across (and this is my 9th tattoo!) He covered up an older tattoo that elicited painful memories - the end result was better than anything I could have imagined. Only docking 1 star because the woman at the front desk was very cold, nasty and rude. But the tattoo made up for all of that!

April West

Rich was amazingly kind and knowledgeable about all safety and germ related things. Really friendly and had a great piercing experience!

Allen Armstrong

Very professional and clean shop.

kapil upadhyaya

I had very bad experience with scheduling an appointment. They gave me appointment after 1 week and when i called them again after 1 week, they said we do not have any availability. Next week we might have appointment. I should have booked appointment somewhere else.

Robert foster

The piercing specialist Rich was super knowledgeable I thought I was going to have to re-pierce my ears and daith but he could see my old holes and was able to reopen all of my piercings he was super clean and fast I loved it!

Victoria Pilut

Got a tattoo today with Casper @ Iconic Tattoo. Amazing artist and following all the covid restrictions well! Will definitely be returning :)

Nathaniel Zorach

Got some great work done by Steve Sype. Nice people and a casual, chill space

Laura Walker

Great piercing experience

Endipendent Tarot

Casper was a delight; not to mention the amazing job he did on my hand tattoo. I love it. The shop also has a good vibe!

alma flores

Loved the place, very clean, super friendly. Great experience!!

Mi'Kelle Williams

I had previously went to Iconic for a tongue piercing a couple years back and since I was looking for a new artist decided to try it out since it has a good reputation. Hands down the best tattoo experience I've ever had. I got two tattoos (my 5th and 6th) down my sides by Chase and I love them both. He was so patient and open to correction about the design. We had to rework it from the original which took time but he made sure it was to my liking. He has a gentle and fast hand and I got some great song and TV suggestions while I was there (Pyramid Song by Radiohead is a great time). He's a great tattoo artist and a wonderful conversationalist as a plus. Definitely putting him at the top of my list if I want more.

Rip theCity

Friendly people great artist

Lili Lara

Super clean and nice tattoo shop.

AJ Zeigler

Very clean shop! I mean from the front windows to the floors! Nice and friendly staff as well. Very good selection of artists too. This was my first time and I saw Steve Sype. Really cool guy and my work came out great. I think I've found my new tattoo shop ????

Nicole Meunier

I love this place!! Rich peirced my nose and it was the most professional, informative and best experience I've had getting something done!

Stephanie Shallal

Absolutely love Iconic Tattoo!! Very friendly helpful staff!!!

Alissa

Rich is the only piercer I will see.

Ashley Chard

Awesome staff! Robert is an amazing artist, highly recommend!

Jessica Ashley

Rich did a great job with my piercing and safely changing out my jewlery. He is skilled at what he does and such a kind soul. I appreciate Kelly there as well as she is welcoming and very professional. I also appreciate how they value keeping things clean and sterile. Not all piercing/ tattoo shops are like that.

Jeremiah Shelton

CJ was great, me and my wife got matching tattoos. They turned out perfect, and we couldn't be happier!!!

C Davis

I went to Iconic recently to get my first larger and visible tattoo done by Casper and I am so happy with the result. It looks so clean and professional - he was able to turn a crude drawing I brought into a beautiful composition that checked all the boxes. Will definitely return for more work in the future. Also, he was friendly and conversational, so the 3 or so hours I spent did not drag at all and he took the time to make sure it was finished to his standards. Shop is clean and they are making great strides to maintaining a sanitary space, especially now. Overall, a great experience.

Myree Coven

The shop itself is clean and has a nice lounge area for you to sit and wait. Friendly vibes from the staff. I seen Rich today for a nose piercing and he is amazing! He was very informative, nice, kind, funny, professional and sanitary. I can honestly say that at other shops I've been too (for a tattoo) I would see other people get pierced (Yes right in front of me) and they would get nothing more than an alcohol pad....definitely not the case with him and you get your privacy. I give this place 5/5. Definitely will be seeing Rich again soon!

Nye Reeves

Rich did a great job on my piercing amazing experience overall and loving staff.

Jeremy Johnson

Great place with amazing staff and artist!! Highly suggest if you want a tattoo go to them!! Ask for Robert Casper

BballQueen 94

I got black and grey roses on my forearm done by Steve back in February. I was very happy with how it came out. It was my first tattoo and it was a piece of cake and didn’t take a lot of time. Tattoo healed fast. Was happy with the price too! Definitely coming back.

Monica Rasmussen

Note: I did not get my piercings done here! But I stopped in to get more cleaning solution since the piercer I had gone to was a drive away, and the staff I spoke with was extremely friendly and clearly knowledgeable. They were nice enough to answer my questions and passed along their cleaning pamphlets. Overall seemed like a very clean studio, and I would definitely consider coming here in the future!

Diana Wasaanung'gokwe Seales

Wonderful artists. Really happy with my tattoo

Olaisha Willis

Shop is always very clean. Rich is the best! He's very professional and will always give you great advice.

Brian Tague

The place itself is clean, with individual rooms for customers. That said, it is poorly run, ill-organized and the staff could use some training in how to be courteous and helpful. The two times I was there, I had to wait :15 and 1:15, respectively. Others in the waiting room clearly were having similar issues. I saw at least two customers complaining about service and there was no obvious response. My artist, who I'll simply call 'A', was disengaged both times, didn't listen to what I was saying and generally seemed like she would rather be doing anything besides working with me and at Iconic. Their reputation is good, but if you want to be treated decently (as a paying customer), you should probably look elsewhere. And no, I didn't get the tattoo. I walked out after the second delay (and had previously tipped A for her time as well as bringing unrequested coffees--just so haters don't think I was being a difficult client).

Al Standridge

Cleanest & Friendly Artists and Staff in Town.

Miskatonic Library Reference Desk

Great professional place, went here for my first and the artist Steve gave me exactly what I had wanted

Carmensita Buentello

I can't express how amazing Iconic Tattoo is. I have done 3 tattoo sessions with Matt, who is incredible, and I will always come back for more. The shop is super clean, the staff is so friendly and they are very professional in what they do. Future long time customer and will always refer my friends to come here. :)

Katie Foster

Awesome shop! The environment is clean and inviting, and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. My best friend and I got matching tattoos by CJ, and we were both very pleased with him and his work. He is super nice and polite, and a great new artist! We got smaller pieces with a ton of line work, and he absolutely killed it! I would recommend this shop to others, and would get more work done here.

Shawn J

This place was not very friendly with specific customers customer service was horrible

J Mann

Steve is the best!! Took his time to help us get what we wanted

Mz Helen

My Artist was Robert Casper. At the end of my first session I paid, & to my surprise he (Casper) asked if I wanted my change. Why wouldn't I?! I mean it was only $10,& I have no problem tipping,but give me a chance instead of holding my change & asking. Secondly I showed him a photo of 1 of his own pieces,because I wanted that exact same color used on my piece. It's like a bright beautiful teal blue. The colors (HE) chose were like a forest green,& green definitely isn't my favorite color. At the end of my second session I used my deposit. After I saw the colors that were chosen I knew I wasn't coming back even though my piece is incomplete. Lastly at the end of my session after paying I asked for a receipt, & Casper asked whom i'm assuming was the shop manager/owner ( a tall Caucasian gentleman that has dreads) if they give receipts for cash payments. The guy looked as if he didn't know what to say,so I said never mind. I couldn't believe it! This is a business. What legal business doesn't provide a receipt for services rendered.I'm going to try to post pics so you can see the color I wanted,& the colors that were chosen for me. I was so excited about this piece. Now I have to look at this tattoo everyday forever feeling disappointed, AND definitely NOT happy at all... . .

Anna Ampkin

Cj did a awesome job on my diamond tattoo he made it look new and colourful I love it going back to cj keep up the good work...

Alexandra L

Awesome place. Made a same day appointment to see Rich for a piercing and the whole experience was great. Everything was clean and very private. Definitely recommend this shop.

Jennifer McGarry

Best tattoo artist ever !!! Everyone check out steve sype!!!

Josh Meister

Andrea Burg is the truth.

Agnieszka M

Rich was super informative and professional. They appear to be keeping very high standards of cleanliness; everyone wore a mask, kept their distance, and measured my temperature when I entered. Their waivers are e-signed so you can upload your ID and fill out all the necessary documents prior to your appointment.

Jason L

Awesome place and Steve is a true professional. Just had some work done and plan on getting more done very soon.

Wendy Warner

Terrible. They wanted $50 up front to draw 'ohana' on onion skin. Screw that.

Keepit Nmotion

I did reviews and it said they welcome walk ins. I arrived to the shop, the lady at the desk was very unwelcoming although she said hi while getting on the phone. I stood there waiting to get information for her. She told me to hold on in the middle of conversation to answer the phone and make reservations and arrangements for whoever she was talking to on the phone and I felt that was unprofessional when I was standing there right in front of her all she could tell me was that to make an appointment I had to pay half in advance for two people but she never really gave me any information on who's the best at drawing or designing the idea that I have for my tattoo she told me I also had to set a schedule to get a consultation about this tattoo at this time I felt that she did not want to serve me so I exit the building and went to a different tattoo shops that treated me would be better customer service

Thomas Gordon

Went on Saturday for a long awaited PA piercing. Rich was absolutely awesome, very professional, informative, through!!! Barely felt a thing, would highly recommend him for your piercing needs. My only regret was that I waited so long to get up the nerve to get it done.

Jada Tolbert

The CLEANEST most professional tattoo shop I have ever seen. I’m from Seattle and when I get another tattoo I’m flying back to Detroit and see Chase

KiD C.

A classic.

Stacy George

The girl at the front desk who answers phone and helps people with jewelry is so rude and condescending. Not a very professional place and a VERY limited jewelry selectio Take your business elsewhere

Took my 14yr old son to get his first piercing on his earlobe. Was very happy with how thorough they were in explaining everything to him and how great of a job was done. Will return for future piercings. I highly recommend them to every one

Lauren Gibson

First of all, they take health and safety VERY seriously. They are clean, they take all precautions between clients, and they're very professional. Every phone call and every visit has been met with friendly and helpful people. My tattoo was done by Chase (who is an incredible artist) and he developed my idea into the art piece it is today. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a safe and professional experience.

Philip Heliker

Iconic tattoo is a beautiful shop that is extra clean with a wonderful staff. I had the pleasure of working with Casper on my tattoo. He blew my expectations out of the water. I had the pleasure of meeting other artists and getting a glimpse of their work which was also incredible. The artists at Iconic tattoo are truly the ink masters of Detroit

Richard Fox

Excellent staff, Rick is great.

Tamara Thomson

Matt is very professional. He's also a great artist, and he was happy to make changes to his design to make sure I was completely satisfied.

I came in and was helped right away by Steve, was kinda nervous because it was my first time there but the place was very welcoming. It might be a little over priced but I think it was worth it. Would definitely recommend it.

Organia Ceeer

"The receptionist at the front desk is ethical," she's nice, patient. I had A problem filling out the form on my phone .I swear I was like computer illiterate. In the end.... everything worked out.

There is some serious talent here that warrants your attention!
