Diamond State Tattoo Parlor

Walked in and was told there was 45 min wait. We were not spoken to again till 2 and half hours later. The workers got in a verbal argument, and proceeded to throw furniture while we were standing there. The tattoo itself was done very well, and only took ten minutes. Very unprofessional atmosphere. Over all definitely would not recommend.

I'm from out of town and Marc Schusterbauer took me on his day off to get me in! He's a class act and a killer artist. Everyone at the shop is super laid back. Great, clean environment and will definitely be back if I am ever in the area

David is awesome! Everyone is Professional but also makes you feel like a friend and not just another client. The studio is futuristic and up to date! I highly recommend!

I have 5 tattoos, from 5 different places. Hands down, by far, Diamond State is the best place I've ever been to. The shop is extremely clean and organized, well layed out, and very professional looking. When you walk in, there are iPads mounted to the check in counter, and each iPad is a different artist's portfolio. So you get to see exactly what work a particular artist has done, their style, what they're good at, etc. My brother and I used David Dickens. And he is seriously the most talented tattoo artist I've had work on me, or that I've seen work in general. He was extremely personable, very kind, funny, kept you entertained, and made you feel great about the whole process. I came in with a photo of what I wanted done, and he had it sketched out onto the outline transfer paper pretty quick. He talked me through placement options, sizing, everything to make sure I was comfortable with all aspects of this tattoo. And then he got straight to work. David used fresh needles, sterilized everything, and took every precaution I was looking for plus more, to ensure the environment was sterile and safe for my body. He was quick and efficient, and the piece turned out even better than I hoped it would. David is an amazing artist. And I HIGHLY recommend him and Diamond State to anyone looking for a tattoo. After 5 different tattoos at 5 different places, I'll never use another shop. Diamond State and David have my business for as long as I get inked.

I have NEVER written a bad review. I will try and make it brief. After seeing Diamond state on tv last year I thought this would be a great place to bring my 17 year old son to get his first tattoo. He has been asking for over a year. He is a high school senior in a town an hour south of Sherwood. We were in the “area” registering him for Pulaski tech. We stopped by to make an appointment to have this done. When talking with them to set up the appointment we told them he was 17. We paid our 50.00 deposit when we set up the appointment and left. 10 days later we show up at our time to finally have the long awaited first tattoo. All seems fine then the guy we set the appointment up with ask us for all of our “documentation”. So we both reach for our drivers license when he ask for his birth certificate. We did not know nor were we ever told we would need this document. He told us to just go home and get it... can someone send us a picture of it... come back..... reschedule.(none of which could happen bet were great ideas in theory) It was pushing 8:00 by time this happened. They close at 10:00. I could make it back by 10:00 but wouldnt be enough time to do the tattoo. Rescheduling was not an option. At that point my son was concerned about letting a person that was so unconcerned with the detail of a required document even perform the service to permeant ink on him. We asked for the deposit which he reminded me was non refundable. Seems very convenient to me that the young man that “forgot” to do HIS job gets to keep 50.00 of my kids HARD earned money. I called the next day just to make management aware. (Feeling like he should receive the refund... but understanding their policy) and what I got is the reason I am writing the review. The gentleman on the phone told me that he doesn’t read minds and it was my responsibility to know the required documantion. Sometimes people get ahead of themselves and forget that doing the right thing is more important that 50.00. I would have settled for an apology and a “we will do better with that and it is our job to inform the customer of laws and policies”. But I got neither. I would not recommend this shop. Maybe I had to high of an expectation. I am very sad to write this.

Carl was my tattoo artist. He is fantastic. Walked me through the steps of getting my first tattoo and the aftercare. The place was very clean and welcoming. Highly recommend Diamond State Tattoo.

My daughter got tattooed here, Zach did a great job!

I may be a little partial BUT I do really love the shop. Couldn't have asked for a better team of guys to put under one roof. We will expand as we find the RIGHT guys to add to the family.

Come in and check us out all of our guys are top notch and between them they can do ANYTHING you want done.

2015 is going to be awesome here!

I had my tattoo done by Chelcie. She did a phenomenal job. I've had other tattoos done before but this was my 1st one that had a special meaning behind it. It was for my beloved sister who lost her courageous fight with cancer in Oct. Chelcie listened to what I was looking for and sketched exactly what I wanted and needed. She was very professional and has tremendous talent. The whole atmosphere there at the shop was calm and helps put your mind at ease if you are a little nervous about getting a tattoo. I highly recommend going here for your tattoos.

Chelcie is seriously the best artist I've ever had do work on me. I'm pretty heavily tattooed, and I always come back to Diamond State for Chelcie's art! She has such imaginative illustrations and is also quite the expert in American Traditional styles. She makes the experience comfortable and fun! I frequently recommend her to my friends and family.
