The tattoo artist was so rude and rushed the tat because he was supposed to get off at 5, but wanted my money. As you can see, he does not know or just didn't care to tattoo me properly. My rainbow is shrinking and the ink is coming completely off and he literally scarred me with how deep he tatted me. I have been an avid Iron Tiger supporter until now. He said he would touch it up for free and I will never let him tattoo me again. I will pay to get this fixed. Don't see the balding man with a beard and glasses!

Love the vibe of the shop and the emphasis on traditional style work! They keep everything very clean and sanitary. Seems like the employees are all very happy to work there, which makes a big difference. We drove 1 1/2 hours to see Jake Bailey and it was totally worth it!! Jake always takes good care of my boyfriend and I when we come to get more work done!

I walked in and was taken care of quickly. I ended up with the artist Phil and I have nothing but great things to say about him. He was funny, kind, and knowledgeable about methods for color use and placement. Definitely recommend him for any tattoo work and for great conversation! I will be coming back ASAP!

DO NOT get your piercings done here. I’ve had two piercings done here and my jewelry has fallen out 3 times. I never ever had this issue with my piercing place at home so I have no idea why it keeps happening here. One of the piercers are also incredibly rude.

My co-workers and I all got piercings here. The guy who pierced us did an amazing job and was very patient while we took forever to decide what we wanted. He was funny and joked with us and made us feel comfortable. The rooms are private which is nice. I've seen a lot of tattoo shops that are just wide open and the most privacy they offer is a little curtain. Well this place had rooms and it was very nicely laid out. They also have a massive amount of good flash art (mostly traditional style from what I saw.)

I went in to get three simple piercings done on my ears and had a great experience. The piercer, Zane, was extremely friendly and professional - would 100% come again and have him do any of my future piercings. Highly recommend.

Peircer and staff was very rude. My friend and I went and he did not mark where he was going to peirce or give me a heads up he just stuck the needle in and now my industrial in a bad place and the ball/ first peircing is never seen. I'm unhappy with the placement my friend who got a nose peircing did have hers at least marked but when she asked him to move it higher he said no he had been doing it for 12 years and new what he was doing. We were unable to go in together do to Covid which is understandable but as soon as I was done with my service they rudely told me to leave before have even a minute to talk to my friend. Everything was clean and starile and I went before but had a different peircer and he was fine but won't be going back again.

The guy at the counter was very friendly and professional, but the piercer was not so much. He was very cold and impersonal. I felt like the process was being rushed. I got my septum done and it is unfortunately very crooked. Hopefully it will look better once it is healed. The piercer did use clamps just FYI. It began to bleed afterwards, so I went back into the back to have him clean it up and he left me sitting there with blood running down my face to go put more change in the parking meter..

The guy in COMO who did my lip was really nice to me, even though I was nervous. They are super cool people and I ALWAYS recommend them to my friends when they ask where to go for piercings/tattoos. :) my mother also has ALOT of tattoos and ear piercings, and she only goes to Iron Tiger. So naturally I only go there too. So I highly recommend them! Oh, I also call for genuine questions about my lip and whoever answers is always really nice to me. :)) I love them!

My boyfriend Justin Haas and I recently relocated from Kansas so that he could work at Iron Tiger Tattoo. This is his first time moving with his career, and our first time out of our hometown. I couldn't suggest a more talented shop to someone wanting a new tattoo in Columbia. Iron Tiger is filled with interesting, intelligent employees who are serious about their work. The owners Gabe and Lee have gone out of their way to make this move easy for us, and are some of the nicest people we have met in the city so far. I would recommend this shop not only to a person wanting a great tattoo or piercing, but also to someone who cares about their experience. The shop always has music playing, and has a huge floor plan with private rooms for each artist. The counter guys are always enthusiastic and happy to talk to every customer. It's also nice that the individual artists take their time to talk to you about your tattoo before you make that final decision. "Sid Liberty" is one of the shops piercers and has an endless list of experience with one of the biggest personalities I have ever known.
If you're interested in quality, price, experience, and outcome- I recommend with the most confidence- Iron Tiger Tattoo.
