Miami Tattoo Co

My Fiancé needed a piercing removed and the tattoo place didn’t hesitant to help him. We didn’t get a tattoo, but the work seemed to be nice from what we saw, and the customer service was up to par.

Let me start by saying that this review is directly linked to Felecia W.‘s review of First Class Tattoo, located just across the street. Learned yesterday, that this and First Class have the same, eceptional owner. If you read Felecia W.‘s review, you will understand how I ended up at Miami Tattoo Co.
Both shops are impeccably clean, spacious, well kept, clean, nicely designed – did I mention CLEAN??? Anyhow, after Michelle (the rock star she is) from First Class helped me out, I ended up in Colby’s chair at Miami Tattoo. It was just a touch-​up and to go over some UV ink that I was worried would eventually fade. Colby, like Michelle, Ivan and Mickey, was a consummate professional. She examined my new ink to make sure I was healed enough to get some touch-​up work done.
She picked out awesome, identical colors to blend with the ink I already had. This was the first time a woman put a tattoo needle to my body – WOW, what a soft touch!!! Getting ink on the ribs is no fun thing, but Colby did an amazing job. She also took special care to notice that the portion of my skin that had blue ink did not take that particular color very well and she did an impeccable job of ensuring that she went over this area as gently as possible.
More than anything, I loved that Colby was so willing to help out her fellow artists and that she was happy to do so!

A new tattoo in a new town. Is there anything scarier? Hmmm, maybe being the cameraman for the inevitable Rush Limbaugh-​Sarah Palin sex tape. But I digress…
MTC is clean, clean, clean, with all new equipment and a very well appointed waiting area. There are partitions for the different tattoo booths but they are not at all enclosed so be prepared for that.
I have gotten two tattoos from this place now and overall all I am really happy with them. Mickey did both, and I highly recommend him. He is relaxed and easy to work with and takes your creative input well.
This place is pricey, but so is every place on Miami Beach. If you want a cheap tattoo, looks elsewhere (like your buddy Larry who learned the trade in prison, got mostly cleaned up, and now works out of his van… down by the river).
Big Tip!
So you will talk with the receptionist/​greeter/​boss lady at the front first, then she will take you to meet your artist. He will say give me a few minutes to draw something up/​sketch something out/​whatever and then you will talk about the price of the piece with the boss lady. She will quote a price that will be really high. Don’t take it. Act like you don’t have the money, then suggest something much lower. Like half as much, then she will counter a little higher, and you will counter a little lower. You get the idea. But a little haggling will go a long way, so don’t be afraid to go there.
Would be five stars but for the price/​haggling issue.
