Ink Ink Tattoo & Piercing Studio Review, Prices, Services, Images

After years of searching and not commiting to an artist, I stumbled upon Kelsey at InkInk through Instagram. I have never spent time with a more talented, compassionate, and driven artist, who truly loves what they do. I requested birth flowers for my three boys. Seems simple.. Flowers sound simple, but quite frankly, many artists cannot do what Kelsey does, color realism. Before finding her work, I saw a hundred pictures of what I knew didn’t want, something that looked like a cartoon or a two dimensional flower. I felt defeated and like Noone could put my dreams into reality. So I flew to Missouri!

My half sleeve is my largest piece of art work. I was incredibly nervous, Kelsey answered all my questions and reassured that she would walk me through the tattoo. Additionally, my original flight to Missouri was delayed by an entire day. Kelsey was patient and understanding. I was beside myself until I landed and met her in person. I had an immediate sense of relief that I chose her to be my tattooist. She worked with the time we had that evening, creating the design until 10pm. The next day, tattooing me the entire day the following day we took frequent breaks and the conversation just flowed about work and motherhood. (Another bonus, she’s also a fantastic mom, who also loves being a mom!!) then was able to rebook the day we missed out on, and met her in New York to finish our project. Kelsey’s work has depth, beauty and layers of color. I have MORE than a tattoo, I have a work of art that will last me a lifetime. I will definitely see her for more work in the future. Thank you Kelsey 🙏🏻

Kelsey is one of the most talented and incredible artists I’ve ever known. The shop has such a fun vibe and feels light and airy. I have two tattoos from Kelsey and absolutely make a trip to see her anytime I can and am near Ink Ink.

I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience I had getting a tattoo from Kelsey. This is a review I have been meaning to post for so long but because of my crazy life and circumstances I am just getting around to it now.

Kelsey is so incredibly accommodating for her out of town guests and their pieces. She has multiple options for anyone lucky enough to come to Springfield for tattoos. Luckily I am a few hours away so I even drove home after my full day session. With that being said, Kelsey tattooed my recently deceased, handsome boy dexter, a cat I had in my life for almost 20. She showed immense compassion for my grief and we ended with an absolutely beautiful piece of artwork. I consistently get compliments everywhere I go. People stop me in the street to tell me they’ve never seen a tattoo that beautifully done.

I didn’t speak much during my appointment because I was still grieving and I honestly was keeping myself from crying half of the time. Kelsey offered me multiple breaks, entertainment, she even let me use her charger from her tablet so I could be distracted with television while she was working. Her apprentice and the other tattoo artist in her shop regularly laughed and talked alongside myself and Kelsey whenever we were talking. Her shop was comfortable, immaculate, and such a treat from others I’ve been to in the past. The seat I sat in was in front of a giant window with all the sunshine making it a much more positive experience for me. There is so much talent in that shop and I cannot wait to go back and finish my sleeve.

Where do I begin?? A few months ago, I went to get my first portrait tattoo by Kelsey and let me just say, this is the first time I ever cried from just a stencil… For the last 5 years I had been searching for an artist to truly capture my vision for my dog’s portrait. After reaching out to Kelsey, I instantly knew she was the one! My experience with her in her shop was one for the books! When I started talking and getting to know her, it felt like we were already friends just picking up where we left off. Not only did she slay the tattoo, she made me feel at home and welcome. It’s important for me to feel comfortable with the artist that tattoos me as I have been in very uncomfortable situations in the past with other artists. Needless to say, I am so happy to finally have a tattoo of one of my dogs. Yes, the final piece made me cry! It was done so beautifully and is truly remarkable. I even have my next appointment set up and I’m ready to book the one after that! I couldn’t be more happy to have met Kelsey. Thank you for all you do!

I’ve been going to Kelsey for years now. She is an absolutely incredible artist that pours 110% into everything she does. Her work demonstrates this. I’m proud to wear her art every day and I brag on her every chance I get.

I’ve spent probably 100+ hours getting tattooed by her at this point, and everybody in the shop always goes above and beyond to make sure their clients are comfortable.
