Definitive Tattoo Gallery

"What a great experience and friendly atmosphere. These guys knock it out of the park with their talent. Highly recommend."

"Nate has been tattooing me for a little over 2 years now. I can’t say enough about how welcoming and professional the shop is, paired with the abilities of each artist. Love definitive!"

"I've had a great experience at this tattoo shop. My artist was the highly sought-after Joshua Orville who is very friendly, polite, and professional. He was very thoughtful and creative with my ideas and design and rendered a perfect tattoo that I love."

"Definitive Tattoo truly lives up to its name; if you're looking for a place in Kansas City to get a beautiful tattoo, this is absolutely one of the best shops to go to. I've been getting work done by Orville for years, so when I heard that he decided to open his own shop, I knew whoever he did it with would be good people with some serious skill. One look at their Instagram page will tell you that's absolutely correct. The shop itself is welcoming and has a really cool, fun aesthetic. I've only included shots of the waiting area in my review, but the artists' areas are individually set up to showcase their unique personalities and talents. Every part of it has something interesting to look at without being overwhelming. On top of keeping an extremely high standard of work, they keep an extremely high standard of sanitation. Everything has separate containers, which there are plenty of, and they keep all surfaces clean and clear. Being a somewhat clumsy person, I accidentally got a drop of blood on a restroom wall. I let Orville know and he immediately thanked me and went to clean/sanitize the area. The piece I got done was one I'd started with Orville a few years prior, a shoulder/arm tattoo dedicated to my grandpa and his favorite movie Forbidden Planet, which also got me started on my lifelong love of sci-fi. After an all-day session, it turned out absolutely stunning; between Orville's beautiful use of color and artistic talent, it looks like the original oil painting landscape was done directly on me. Robby's metallic shading pops against the vivid teals, browns, and purples. The planets, the C-57D, everything came together perfectly. It's exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be happier. I'm currently planning on coming back and extending it out into a full classic sci-fi sleeve. Again, if you're looking for somewhere in Kansas City to get beautiful, high-quality tattoo work done in an equally high-quality professional environment, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better place. Cannot recommend them enough."
