Dead Sure Studio

I spent the better part of this year (and so did my wife) visiting Jessie for custom work on and off. I had at least 7 sessions, and my wife had 4-5. All of our tattoos are some of the most impressive work I’ve seen anywhere online or in person, and Jessie went above and beyond to make us feel at home, comfortable and appreciated. You can tell she pours everything she has into her designs and learning new skills and I really can’t recommend her enough. She deserves every bit of the crazy schedule she’s earned 😁

Walking into this place feels like you're just coming to vibe with some friends for a few hours. The studio is so cozy, everyone is nice as hell, and their tattoos are incredible.

I've been to Aaron twice at this point for blackout stuff. Not only is his work amazing, but he really goes the extra mile to make sure you're comfortable. He checks in often, offers snacks/juice if you're dying, and is just an all around nice dude. I got really lightheaded after a recent appointment with him, and he took the extra time to make sure I felt better before I left. Seriously a stand up guy. Can't recommend him enough.

I’ve been tattooed at multiple different shops by multiple artists, and I can say that my sessions at Dead Sure Studio have been my best tattoo experiences by far.

The shop is clean, comfortable, and inviting. My artist Aaron is extremely professional: communicative, respectful, patient, and overall pleasant to sit with. He’s very easy to connect with about ideas/projects, and executes masterful work. He’s also one of the few/only artists in the Midwest who specializes in blackwork/blackout tattoos (though he does color pieces that are just as incredible).

Aaron (as well as the other artists at the shop) sends his clients home with a thoughtful aftercare package, and walks you through the process and expectations for healing your tattoo. These guys are very intentional about giving their clients the best overall experience possible from start to finish, and it makes a world of difference.

I absolutely recommend checking this place out.

Jessie is freaking amazing. Went to her after my wife got some work from her done for my first tattoo and couldn't have asked for a better artist and professional to do it. From making sure I was comfortable and ready, to taking her time and being gentle. Best shop in the area for sure.

These folks are amazing artists, super friendly, and extremely professional. B was my artist on this piece. She was able to take my jumbled, incoherent request and create something I absolutely love. The atmosphere in the studio is relaxing, and it is obvious that everyone there genuinely cares about their work and the satisfaction of their clients. Keep up the great work!

This place was great! Cool studio with great and talented artist. Jessie was incredibly nice and made sure everything was good the whole time. Definitely recommend.

The artists here were very welcoming and professional. The space is open and clean. My artist was Jessie and I really appreciated that she took the time to alter my design on the fly until we had something that we both thought looked great. Plus they have excellent snacks!

Edited to add: I've just had my second tattoo by Jessie and everything I said in this original review remains true. Jessie's work has only improved over time, and I can't wait to continue being tattooed by her!

Highly recommend this. Had an absolutely amazing time. Design of the shop is great and inviting. Each artist does phenomenal work. B was the one to do my newest piece and she rocked it. Talked with me the whole time, recommended great food places that were local, and allocated plenty of time to make sure my piece would come out just the way I wanted it. Everything from the time I walked in to the education and proper care post session was professional and straight to the point. Definitely a place worth looking into.

Aaron is my dude. Followed him to three different shops over the years, and this is by far the best setup. Don't sleep on this shop, best people in the business.

Jessie is just phenomenal! She is incredibly talented and made me feel welcome, heard, and like a collaborator on the design of my piece. After getting tattooed for 10 years in the St Louis area, Deadsure Studios as a whole is the nicest, cleanest, and most prepared environment I’ve ever had the pleasure of being tattooed in.
