Enigma Tattoos & Body Piercings

I have gotten both piercing and a tattoo from here. I loved the piercing and will always return here for more piercing needs. However, I had a bad experience with my tattoo. The tattoo faded after 1 day and I later found out from my dermatologist it caused major scarring from the needle going to deep. So i spent over $1000 on a biopsy and creams for a $120 tattoo that i’m not happy with.

Went in with a friend to get my nose pierced, her septum pierced, and to get matching tattoos and we were super nervous. Receptionist was amazing! She was cracking jokes and just making us feel very at home. We were sent to Dennis for our piercings and he was the best! He answered all our questions, talked us through everything he was doing, and made everything a breeze. For our tattoos we were sent to Scott. He was fast and made it as painless as possible and gave us really great tips on how to help our tats heal faster. The shop was pristine and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely recommend to any and all my friends! Can't wait to get more from them!

I had a good experience here with my wife. The artist i followed here wasnt in, but dennis took the tattoo and did a superb job! Will definitly be back!

David gave me the pomegranate tattoo of my dreams 😍 and it barely hurt, which is a plus since the spot it went had some sensitive spots.. I made an appointment with him and he was so stoked to design the tattoo (which is always a plus), and on the day of my appointment he showed me the final product and printed up 3 sizes for me to look at. His attention to detail with the tiny circles for the pomegranate seeds was *chefs kiss*, and he told me he ate pomegranate snacks to get pumped for the tattoo. As a female bodied person, I tend to get anxious going in to a tattoo shop (you never know what kind of boys club it’ll be) but David kept me distracted and had high energy during my whole appointment!! I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone. They really know what they’re doing over here and I will def be back 😌

Everyone here was awesome. I got tattooed by Dennis who not only gave me a beautiful piece but also went way out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with the design and physically comfortable getting tattooed. I really appreciated him and the receptionist, whose name I forgot, for caring so much. Will update later with a photo of my finished piece. Thanks, guys!

I took my niece to get her nosed pierced for the first time on her Birthday this week, and you all made her feel so comfortable and soothed her nerves! Thank you all for being so awesome!!

CJ killed this tattoo!! I will recommend CJ to everyone !! This tattoo is sick bro !!!!! Keep killing it. Im coming back down to St. Louise again to get another piece done by you

Long Post Alert!!

This tattoo place was NOT thorough in regards to giving out relevant information in regards to what customers really needed to know in order to get properly serviced at their place of business. We are not too familiar with getting tattoos, and it has been a very long time for me since I had one. Shelby was very good at being annoying about making sure our masks was pulled up above our noses every time she walked by but she was not very thorough at listening and welcoming us in their shop.

Me and my 15 year old step daughter came in for a consultation a day before our initial appointment. During the consultation, not 1 time C.J. (the artist) asked us about her age or made sure we was aware the age requirement 16 and up. But, yet and still they gave us a form to have notarized and filled out by her guardian to return for our appointment the next day to only tell us that she had to be 16 in order to be serviced in their shop. This should have all been stated at the consultation. Further more, C.J. asked me what I wanted done and I told him I wanted him to color in a heart tattoo with a name inside the heart that I had done over 10 years ago. He looked at it and told me okay and he can do that. So, I arrived on time, it literally took him 25 minutes to come out. He asked to look at my arm again so he can assess the correct color on my arm. I hate needles, so the whole time I did not look to see what was being done, because for 1 I thought I was in the hands of a professional and 2 I wanted it be done because of the pain. But I was far from down after he said he was done. I looked down and saw that he traced over the name that was on my arm!! The tattoo was so old that if he would've colored it in like I told him the 1st time, that name would've been completely covered!

My issue was, as a tattoo artist, he should've probed more information out of me to make sure he was doing what I asked him to do. You would think as a tattoo parlor, they get a lot of 1st timers/rookies in their shop to where they have to probe information out of, or maybe they just don't care, at least that's what I experienced. Oh yeah!!! He did color it in before I left, but initially after he traced over the name in my arm so good, I have to wait for it to heal to see how well the color will cover up the name and if I would need to come back for another treatment of color over that name!! After I paid, I was NOT given or offered any care instructions on how to care for my tattoo and how long I needed to care for it. This was one of the worst experience I had in a long time.

This is just my experience and opinion. It very well could've been an off day at the shop, but my tattoos came out mediocre at best. I came in on a weekend night with no appointment, very grateful that they could squeeze me in. I ended up waiting hours- fair because I showed up w/out an appointment, but when I actually sat down to get my tattoos (2 small tattoos), the tattoo artist didn't do a great job. In particular, I got a small tattoo on my thigh and it came out very smugged and the lines were too thick, unlike what I wanted and asked for. He didn't make any effort to build a rapport or make me feel comfortable. Overall, I just wasn't pleased. I'm sure the rest of the artists are much better. It was also insanely overpriced for two small tattoos... almost $200!

I went in for a double piercing on my ear. It was amazing. So happy I chose Enigma. Everybody was professional and welcoming. The whole process was easy and Katie who did my piercings was amazing. Definitely would go back again.
