GREG

I had my tats done while Greg was just starting. He did a black and grey background to an existing tat on my right arm. He also did DETERMINED across my shoulder blades.

I would definitely come back over and over. My goal is to get one of my tats published, and I think you guys are just the artists to get me there!!

Just wanted to update from my last message. Love my tattoo and would never go anywhere else. I get all kinds of looks and comments now that I'm up here in no man's land!! But people seem to have good comments they just are too conservative to ever get one!!!! Hope to see you all soon!!

Matt did a really awsome job on my second. My first one is from Lasting Impressions, and needless to say I'll be in real soon to have you guys fix it for me. I tell all my friends that if they are getting inked, Skin Kitchen is the only place to go!!!!

Skin Kitchen is the best tattoo studio around. Matt did a kick ass job on my tattoo and it is by far the best one I have. I will be getting more real soon and the only place I will go is Skin Kitchen.

Jack,
Just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job on my 30th birthday present. And I looked up elevators for you. The definition is: Elevator – Descending: birth, activating emotions; Ascending: Movement to spirit world, activating intellect. So, it wasn't a bad dream. Thanks again.

Hey, I was here back in August. I am glad the sight is still up. If you read my last entry, I was way to young to get anything done and crap like that, and to be more specific I just turned 14, still to young. :( Anyway, if I ever get a tatoo I hope it is done by someone so into their job and makes sure that the customer is 100% happy. Nobody wants a crap tatoo to live with forever. It's people like you guys that make people happy and more sure if they want to get a tatoo. Thanks for making a kewl sight and keep up the great work, no matter what anyone ever sez!!

Hi, I'm from Blighty, and I'm really jealous!! So far, your tattoo place seems the most friendly, hygenic, decent one around, and I can't get any done, cos I don't live there! I'm really interested in getting a tat done, but as there's nowhere as great looking as your place, it looks like I'm going to either start saving for air fare, or just go without...aarrgghh!! Now where did I put my piggy bank....???

heard about it

Des Moines,Ia

Nope, but soon gonna

I'm seriously looking into some serious piercings and tatoos. I have a wooden Indosian cat carving that would be a awsome tatoo.

Hey! Great site, I was surfin and I found your little corner of cyber space. I am thinking about getting a tattoo when I am old enough and just looking at your site and seeing some of your examples makes me want one more. I hope you guys have a great day and keep up the wonderful work.

geisha on forearm

since recently moving to des moines, i was referred to Michelle by mutual friends in Chicago. I'd have to say that my newest tattoo (geisha) has quickly become my favorite piece. I got my first tattoo at 16 (12 years ago) and have been collecting tattoos ever since. Although most of my tattoos have been done by friends in the business, Michelle has a way about her that made me feel at ease and extremely comfortable. While rockin' out to Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden getting tattooed and enjoying the company and fine work of Michelle, I'd have to say that not only do I look forward to getting my tattoo finished I look forward to going back to Skin Kitchen for more tattoos (working on sleeves) I found the shop to be very clean and the staff extremely cool and unpretentious. For which I am truely gratefull.
