Mean Street Tattoo

"Blake did my memorial tattoo in honor of my husband. He was very good and more patient than most people would have been with me. I will be going back for a touch-up on a tattoo and a cover-up redo of another tattoo. I highly recommend them for all your tattoos and piercings."

"It’s a damn shame that people, especially business professionals don’t consider their clientele’s time. I have been so excited to get this tattoo to honor my son that passed away in July 2022 and I will not be getting it done again today. I’ve been to Kayla before and think she does great work but my time is just as important as hers. I paid my $50 deposit as requested. Kayla canceled the first appointment. Second appointment, I drove 54 miles and arrived on time. There were two walk ins in her chair. Tattoo’s not started, imagines not placed on either one of their bodies. And I’m told it will be an hour. Seriously?!?! That’s my sign that she is not the one for this incredible personal piece. I asked for my deposit back and while I got that, she never even came to the counter to speak with me or apologize for that matter."

"Went to get my ears pierced as part of the Friday the 13th deal. I had called ahead to make sure I could get the backs I need to make it easier to heal with my health issues, and was told I could. The process was rushed and I felt like my questions were being dismissed. I know it was a busy day but I couldn't get a good look at the jewelry first and was told "you'll be fine". The jewelry used a butterfly back that caused a buildup, and a sharp post that irritated the holes. I ended up having to go to a different shop in Edwardsville to get my earrings swapped out, because after a week my ears were still so irritated and hurting."

"I've never seen a bad tattoo leave this shop! I've had both piercings and tattoos and always so clean and professional. I love this shop! Tattoo done by Lou"
