Very rude staff, specially the women there rushed my tattoo process. I have to say tho the person who actually did my tattoo (who was a guy) was very nice and respectful. And did a good job on my tattoo but I just wish the women there let me think about the tattoo that was gonna go on my body for the rest of my life. I was 18 (I’m 19 now) I’m writing this so you all know to make sure you know what you want cause they don’t appreciate when you come in and have an idea of what you want but you want them to draw out the tattoo. Thy won’t draw a tattoo for you. They want you in and out. As fast as possible. Also very overpriced. I ended up getting a tattoo on my hand cause they only gave me small options. And it ended up getting recked in 2 weeks because no one in my household would do dishes but me. I’m not saying this is the tattoo shops fault I just wish they would’ve drawn out the flower to put it on my thigh, which is what I originally asked them to do. And they refused. And they also never told me the shop minimum was $100. And if the that’s the minimum you should tell the person when your putting a permanent tattoo on their body. $120 for a little tattoo that faded in a little over 2 weeks is absurd.

This is from Dana Howard at Mercy Seat (July 2017). The reason I am adding a review now is because I recently was tattooed by a different artist and it is healing beautifully and has been such a wonderful experience! Now that I am more educated, I realize this 2017 tattoo was not done well. You can see where she went too deep with the needle. The depth was all over the place, it was overworked, and the lines are thick. It obviously did not heal well! Dana did not use saniderm and sent me off with a black bandage and some tape. I followed her aftercare instructions (antibacterial hand soap & a light layer of lubriderm) and it still scabbed horribly which caused ink loss. She did do a "touch up" on it a few months later and said it healed poorly due to my physical activity during the healing process. Though it could have contributed, I don't think that was entirely to blame. In my opinion, she is a heavy handed tattoo artist. Hopefully she is using saniderm / tegaderm these days and is producing better healing tattoos. I agree with Shelby (review below) that Dana was short with her words and did not check in with me during the process. When I contacted her about this tattoo, she was also short in communication. I would not recommend her.

Stopped in for a walk-in to get a tattoo on my finger, and the guys were super welcoming! They set me up with an artist immediately. Jay was a consummate professional with a clean booth, great attention to sanitary procedures, and a laid-back, friendly attitude. He helped me get exactly what I wanted done despite the awkward placement and small details. He even recommended local eats! I loved this place so much that I had to go back to buy one of their t-shirts. 10/10!!!

I went and got weighting on my four arm and had Dana she didn’t talk much and was really snippy. When she started she didn’t tell me that she was begging didn’t talk the whole time tattooing. Never asked if I was doing ok or anything after I mentioned I was in some pain to the person that was with me. If you like someone with a super heavy handed she’s the one to go to her work was good but if you want a silent appointment and good work she’s the one. Just not something I didn’t like Shop was really clean other artists was super nice.

I recently got a double wedding band finger tattoo at The Mercy Seat and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. The artist took the time and offered helpful suggestions to enhance the design to keep it simple but nice looking. The atmosphere was clean and vibrant, making the whole process enjoyable. My tattoo turned out beautifully—precise, detailed, and exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend The Mercy Seat to anyone looking for quality work and a positive experience
