Diamond State Tattoo Parlor

Great customer service is still out there, but I didn't find it at Diamond State. I felt I was unimportant to them and that no one cared what I wanted in a tattoo. This is my first tattoo, for my 50th birthday. I thought about it for two years. Most customers are probably younger, but I was willing to spend the same money. I simply wanted a ship tattoo with a small or tiny lighthouse somewhere in the tattoo (either in the background or near the ship, distant from it, whatever would be doable). I wasn't demanding that it had to be an exact way, I just wanted a lighthouse somewhere in there. I tried to explain how symbolic and essential the lighthouse is to me, but the artist didn't think it would look proportioned and refused to even attempt to include it in any way, anywhere in the tattoo. I asked very politely a second time and tried to convince him this is really what I want. He refused, and I almost let him do the stand alone ship, but I was so disappointed and texted my daughter. She reminded me I would be the one wearing the tattoo for the rest of my life. She recommended a tattoo artist in Greenbrier. I visited his shop. He and his colleague sat and talked with me and did a wonderful drawing of a ship with a small lighthouse. I'm going there next week to have it done, and I'm sure I'll be giving them a five star review. I wasted a lot of time and gas money driving to Diamond State (twice) to check out the shop and then to try to get the tattoo. I messaged and finally called them before going to get tattooed. They were slow to respond to my message, sending me a message the day AFTER I was there asking if I still wanted to come in. On the phone they indicated they could do the tattoo I described, otherwise I wouldn't have gone there on my afternoon off from work. My experience there was very disappointing. I gave two stars because their shop was spacious and clean and no one was overtly rude.

My experience was way beyond amazing...great people and even better tattoo artist. ive been loyal to one shop for 10 yrs now but i must say from now on this will be my choice. 110% satisfied

Absolutely love this shop. Carl is amazingly taltalented and creative. The building is clean, modern, and attractive. There isn't much privacy though.

Incredibly clean parlor with incredible staff.. Cynthia did an outstanding job on both my tattoos. Will be back when I visit Little Rock again!!

Everyone there is a wonderful human being and super professional. Very clean and will be going back for more tattoos/piercings in the near future!!😁

Simply the best tattoo parlor in the state. Nick Pierce is one the most talented artists I've ever met.

Called to ask some questions, they were polite & helpful. I can't wait to make the trip & see what they can do!

Amazing tattoos. Ask for David specificly he is great. Competitive prices. Also these guys do some of the best faces anywhere.

I got my nostril pierced and Matt Campbell did a great job.

Carl McReynolds is a pro. Great shop, by far the cleanest I have ever walked into. I highly recommend Diamond State!!!
