Railroad City Tattoo reviews
15Danny always brings my ideas to life! Quick and professional. Amazing work! Will definitely be back!
My friend and I walked in for cartilage piercings. We were served immediately. The sign-in process was comprehensive and painless as a consumer. The piercer had a steady presence and made it as painless as possible! Would go again for additional piercing and would consider getting tatted here!
My 10yo got her ears pierced here recently. They did an amazing job and their rates are reasonable.
Got snake bite piercings done, and the piercer was more than friendly and very helpful as this was my first time getting any piercings done. Felt comfortable the whole time and he double and triple checked with me that the placement is what I wanted before proceeding. It was very cleanly as well. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I knew 2 people who had gotten tattoos done here before, and they referred me. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and the tattoos have turned out better than expected. I have gotten 2 tattoos done here because of my experience here! As people have mentioned before, they take walk-ins, so the earlier you get there to opening, the less wait time. Also, their prices are VERY reasonable for the time and artistry!
I was a walk in, they took me in under five minutes.it was a very fast and simple process.i got pierced by cheeze, he was sooo good and he knows exactly what to say to ease any anxiety.he was so quick and patient! Please ask for cheeze if you’re getting a piercing:)
This is the ONLY tatoo shop I will let put words on my body. I moved away to Lewistown and I still travel to Railroad for my tats. I don't trust anyone else. LOVE LOVE LOVE this shop!
I wouldn’t even give them a 1 star. I went there today to get a tattoo for my birthday. A gentleman who works there jumped in on a conversation I was having with my fiancé and was extremely rude to me bc I said I liked a different artist better than the one I had today. That artist was his nephew. I was so upset I walked out. Troy Mort did my first tattoo with them and was great however i will never go back there!
From the moment I moved to the area, I’ve heard nothing but amazing commentary and recommendations to see Corey here. I had two minimal words less than 2” each and as a walk in shortly before close I had no expectations other than to go talk to someone about pricing and scheduling availability. I was unfortunately greeted by Ana, who was very short and seemed like I was wasting her time. She asked me to write down what I wanted and asked about placement, all the while I was trying to make lighthearted small talk to ease the unnecessary tension in her demeanor. I even told her I knew it was close to closing time and understood that this was not something I needed done a today. Trying to be as understanding as I possible. She asked what font style I preferred, not being offered with any visual options or recommendations, I tried to articulate what I wanted to which she rolled her eyes and looked at the other shop worker like I was absolutely dumb. As a heavy lily tattooed person, tattooed by many artist, have never in my life been treated so poorly or felt so much unwarranted judgement. From one artist to another, it’s so incredibly important to have open communication and conversation with every client, no matter who walks through your shop door. It’s your responsibility as an artist to guide your client, make thoughtful recommendations and most importantly feel a sense of trust under your hand. The meaning behind a tattoo is just as important as the artist and the experience you have with them. Needless to say, I ended up leaving based on this interaction and how this obviously wasn’t a good fit. Also the pricing is a little outrageous. 2,2” words for $150-$200. Definitely really hurt and disappointed. Hopefully this is a reminder to the artists there that every interaction is an opportunity to display your professionalism in this field. Your portfolio and talent may get you clients but experiences and word of mouth can make or break your career
Best tattoo shop! Love all the people that work there. Very friendly and very knowledgeable. Danny did an amazing job and my wife and I.
I love this place! Such a friendly and helpful staff! I've gotten 4 done by walk in and a 5th large leg piece done in separate appointments. Steven Lear is a genius. I tell him what I want and he makes it 100% better every time. I highly recommend Railroad City and Steven Lear.
Clean shop, walk-ins are done in a timely manner. I've gotten walk-in tattoos with Ana and pierced by Cheeze. Both were amazingly professional and make sure you are super comfortable.
I went in for a scheduled laser removal. I was so scared but Cheeze is very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail and it put my mind to ease a lot. He was also very kind and accommodating.
Incredible work. Great staff and will work with your budget. I will definitely be back for more ink. Thanks yall! I love my dragon fly
I’ve had two tattoos done here by Ana and my partner has had two done by other artists. Great work, family business, good prices.
