Brandon you better go to Rose tattoo parlor. Or Robbie Lopez is going to kick your ass I can't believe it even asked that question.

Aubry Rohlfing@39 th street Tattoo right off 39 th and Main. Tuesday - Saturday from 12 -8 pm. Seriously, he's EXACTLY the kind of guy who'd love to tattoo something like that. It'd be a dead giveaway of our identities if I told you about the work he has done for me and my husband, but it's in a similar vain to what you're wanting. Good luck!

Anyone at Exile tattoo, really.

Kurtis Johansen at Bleeding Heart or anyone at Old Souls.

Raymond Parker, Jeremy Angotti, Mike Mudry

Jimmy Kuder III !!!

Exile tattoo. Steven Campbell

Most definetly Done Right Tattoo Ben Alvarez is straight up amazing. 3-6 month wait but totally worth it.

Glory Bound Tattoo / Luke James Whitmire he's working on my sleeve right now

Shannon Patricia Healey is fantastic!

Mike Mudry or Kurtis Johnson

Surreal Tattoo Tyler Moody

Whispering Danny at Exile Tattoo on 39 th street did the portrait of Jim's friend on his arm. It's awesome & Danny is a really cool dude. He's also in an 'I am Second' video which is also super cool. Takes a couple months to get in but very worth it.

Jimmy III Kuder at Glory Bound.

Revelation tattoo up north in Gladstone . Same here John is a amazing artist. I went to school with him and he is also now in the movie outlaw country. The Munk brothers.

Bleeding Heart Tattoo and Jeremy Angotti, that is all that needs to be said.

Ty Nevels at Ink Addixion on 34 th and Troost

Exile Tattoo. Whispering Danny. He's great. I am getting a large piece on my back finished by him next month when I'm back in KC. They charge by the hour, not the session, so it's good if you have to make several appointments.

Aaron Ransack Kenyon Dope!!!

Katrina Jackson. Gone take that trip to Chicago.

Jeremy Latta at Dark Lotus Tattoo.

Steve Bayman & Butch are both pretty amazing (Butch's Tattoo)

Go with Uncle Joe's recommendation. .

John Munk at Revelations!!

I've got 5 of my tattoos at Irezumi Tattoo and after 8 years my first one still looks great and I haven't touched it up. I got my most recent on at Freaks on Noland and they did a pretty good job also. I could tell you where not to go, but I don't want to offend anyone. ha

Yeah me too- and while I never got an infection, you can't completely sterilize those guns. Tattoo shops use a needle, and from everything I have read- do a much better job, are more state regulated, and cleaner, as well as better trained. So I want to go with a tattoo shop.

You can call and ask Purgatory tattoo. They are in Independence, my cousin used to work there and one of the families I babysit for are really good friends with everyone that works there. They are closed on Mondays. I just don't know if you have to be a certain age.

My friend Rachael Cross owns The Ink Parlor they run specials alot!

Lmao Kristen MF Salee best bets to go to a shop

Brady Payton does outstanding work. he works at aftershock in olathe i believe. hit him up worst he can say is no.

HarMoni MyAngel can help u out.!

Weirdo tattoos in Belton. Harold is good. Prices are a little more than I'm used to but they do good work!
