Name Brand Tattoo

This is the best parlor in town. At this point I’ve done 3 pieces with this same artist there and I’m scheduled for my 4th! They are extremely professional, clean and have a wide variety of artists. Every time they make sure it’s exactly what I want before doing it. I’ve had work done other places and left unamused, never once from name brand. PS. super legit!

Just got my third tattoo this past weekend, all 3 of which have been done by artists at Name Brand Tattoo, and I can tell you that I have absolutely loved every single tattoo experience here! This 3rd tattoo was definitely my favorite experience though, probably because it might now be my favorite tattoo.

John was my tattoo artist and he was so friendly and welcoming from the moment he opened the door. My first two tattoos were done at Name Brand's previous location on Washington Street, so this was my first time in their new Main Street space. I absolutely LOVE the Main Street space and

I got my very first tattoo this week at Name Brand. The experience was stellar. I was admittedly nervous but the environment was super welcoming. The staff is kind, respectful, and full of great artists. I was thoroughly satisfied with the final product, it was far better than I could have imagined beforehand. I love my tattoo and I am very glad that I went to Name Brand to receive it.

My two sisters and I had a bonding experience and our first tattoo today at Name Brand Tattoo. It was a happening place, very busy and interesting. Also, clean. We were treated very respectfully and everything carefully explained to us. We love our unique rune tattoo that we found online and Pat, our artist incorporated. He was very kind and made us feel at ease and safe. Everyone was friendly and appeared that all of the artists do quality work.

Phenomenal curation of artists that push creativity to a whole new level! I’ve gotten a few pieces by various artists here and got nothing but the best service and quality. They made sure I had the best aftercare for my tattoo making healing an absolute breeze. Their shop stands out as one of the most welcoming places that I’ve ever been to.

I absolutely love Name Brand. I got my first tattoo here (along with many others since). The shop is welcoming, and very personable. I have known the owners for almost 11 years now and they have worked so hard to create such an amazing and clean business.They employ talented artists, they are all inclusive, free of judgement & body shaming. They encourage creativity, and kind words. Over the years they have become like a second family to me, and I will always suggest Name Brand Tattoo as the place to go.

I’ve been going to Name Brand for the past few years getting work and watching the shop evolve. The attitudes the artists have show an emphasis on the collaborative process between artist and customer. Walk ins are handled with the same respect as a larger piece that’s had an appointment. You can tell that the artists are there because they are passionate about sending out a clean tattoo on a smiling customer. The sign you see on your way out even encourages you to check out another local shop to pay your respects. Talk about knowing that you’re standing on the shoulders of the ones who came

I can't recommend this place enough. I just moved to the area and had trouble getting responses from other shops as they were all busy. Kerri at Name Brand Tattoo got right back to me and set me up with Pat based on what I wanted. Pat was able to take a rather abstract idea and turn it into something better than I could have imagined. I also got to chat with multiple artists during my time there and everyone was super cool and inviting. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and will definitely be coming back!

I love Name Brand Tattoo. I have been tattooed by two artists, Jeff and Nick. Each tattooist is amazing at what they do but they also made me feel comfortable and welcome. They explained things clearly and checked in with me often to be sure I didn't have any questions or concerns. I've come back to the shop many times and have had excellent experiences. Name Brand Tattoo is the shop I recommend when someone asks me "where should I go to get the best work done."

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality, Value
Fast, professional, and clean service. Each artist cares about their craft and it shows. John has done quite a few of my tattoos and they are amazing. But you can't go wrong with any of the artists here. If you're looking to get a tattoo, Name Brand is your place.

Name brand tattoo holds a special place in my heart. I’ve been getting tattooed here for almost 7 years now and there’s plenty of good reason for that. The artists at the shop are professional, passionate, and most importantly, they care about their clientele.
They’ve been patient enough to work with my ideas over the years, build trust, and have helped guide me to getting the best work possible. Whether it be suggesting placement, color, form, etc. The collaborative approach NBT takes with their clientele is what makes the shop feel like home.
At the end of a day, you shouldn’t want

Had a great experience with Name Brand Tattoo for my first tattoo recently. Pat did a fantastic job with the design I wanted, let me know what to expect, communicated well, and was altogether very professional. Eight weeks later, I'm very pleased with the outcome. I originally emailed the shop to book an appointment. Kerri replied within a day, and with a short exchange of messages we had an appointment ironed out. Highly recommend.

Most disrespectful and gross customer service I have ever had. JOHN was "supposed" to be our artist but from the second we walked in he was disrespectful. He actually proceeded to walk around the counter and get in my face when I wouldn't share with him what artist at their shop tattooed me underage. (Which has since then been reported)

I got work done here last year, everyone tells me it looks beautiful, one and only tat- was a tribute for my dad around his birthday...they do great work, you won't be disappointed

I came here for my first tattoo at their old location and recently came for my second at their new one!! Their staff is highly skilled and professional, the studio is so clean and the vibes are so friendly and open here. Will definitely be returning soon. Julian did my two pieces, he's so incredibly talented.

Had an amazing experience with Nick Z and whoever the girl behind the counter is. Atmosphere was super relaxed and clean and made me feel very at home even though I was nervous for my first tattoo! I love Nick and also he smelled good which was nice bc his arm was awkwardly in my face during the tattoo. I love my tattoo!!!!! Would def go back again also very reasonably priced.

I have had two tattoos done by Nick Z, and couldn't be happier with the results. The first was a tribute to my late father, a piece from a card he wrote me. It turned out just beautifully. The second was his/my take on a Frida Kahlo portrait. Perfect work. Nick is super chill and great to work with. Shop is professional and clean. Will go here as long as I'm in Ann Arbor.

A tattoo is forever. Less so now than it used to be, but still a significant investment. The staff at Name Brand were friendly and welcoming, the shop was clean and professional. Tomek was the artist I worked with, and I can't say enough good things about him. He walked me through my 'first tattoo' nervousness, discussed what I wanted, and triple checked that what he saw was what I saw in the project. He answered all my questions, made sure I knew what I needed to do for aftercare, and kept me talking during the procedure to keep me distracted. His linework is amazing, and every

You get what you pay for. Name Brand may seem a little pricey, but a tattoo is forever, and it pays to go for quality. Name Brand delivers. Nick Z did an outstanding job.

I checked out a number of places for my first and only tattoo, both through word of mouth and in person. A good friend suggested Name Brand, so I dropped by to check them out. From start to finish, my experience was positive. The receptionist (not really a receptionist, but she handled the walk-ins who had questions) was polite and relaxed and made me feel comfortable browsing and checking out the artists' books. I told

Went in to get my first ever tattoo, and was greeted with people who knew what they were talking about - I was contemplating a finger tattoo, but I was warned about fading, distortion, and pain. I came back after a week of thought and decided I wanted to get it on my chest instead. I just walked in, no appointment necessary, and immediately got help from Nick. I told him what I generally wanted, and he drew it out and tatted me up within half an hour! I love my tattoo, and Name Brand was very clean, with friendly artists. I got my tattoo on February 6th, about two and a half months ago, and it

I got my first tattoo at Name Brand Tattoo this past weekend from Jeff. It was a great experience. I emailed Jeff through the website and told him some of my ideas before meeting him in person at the studio. I fleshed out my idea for a tattoo, and he was very friendly and willing to answer the questions I had. I wasn't sure about whether I wanted a tattoo, and waited more than 7 months before finally making an appointment to have it done.

After reminding him what I wanted and giving him some more details, he prepared a sketch and asked me for feedback and seemed very willing to make changes

When I walked into Name Brand Tattoo, I was expecting to see tables laid out with people getting tattoos done right there in front of the window, loud music, and a bunch of needles. Instead, I was greeted by an air conditioned, beautiful lobby with framed art all around that makes you want 20 more tattoos instead of just the one that you came there for. I only waited about 5 minutes before Tomek came out to talk to me about what I was planning on getting. I had a printed version of the very specific design that I wanted, and since it was an all-black outline about the size of a fist, there wasn
