Northside Tattoos

Matt is an incredible tattoo artist and sign painter. Aside from his impeccable eye for detail and bright color, he has a steady hand. Healing post tattoo is easy and fast, and the staff explain the process very thoroughly. Buying aftercare was affordable and key to a quick heal! The shop is sterile and clean, and they open new disposables in front of each customer each time. I’ve never seen a shop so clean and sterile! The artists wear gloves and take all the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe. An honest and hardworking family run shop and most definitely underrated when it comes to the immense talent and fair pricing.

Matt, Mike and Nate are just wonderful. The shop has a great, friendly vibe. My significant other and I are repeat customers. I would high recommended the shop to anyone looking for ink or a piercing.

On a whim I called this shop and was offered to come in to talk about the tattoo I wanted. I met with Bruce who has been in the industry for 29 years. He spent so much time during my consult by helping figure out exactly what I was looking for. He even took a picture of the area I wanted my tattoo and was able to photoshop the tattoo onto it ! I’m amazed with how sanitary he was and how at ease the whole process was. I think he changed his gloves a total of 8 times!!! He really listened to what my ideas were and put them into motion where other tattoo shops turned me away because I didn’t have the exact picture of what I wanted. I definitely will be back and have found my artist for life ! Thanks Bruce I absolutely love it !!!

NATE is an AME.E.S.O.M.E. PIERCER. Very Nice, Personable, and always willing to advise/recommend/and listen.........! I AM NOW A CUSTOMER.......

Matt Stankis, the owner, is very talented. He's pleasant, professional and his shop is immaculately clean (and decorated very cool). This is my 4th tattoo by him and I wouldn't go anywhere else! I totally trust him. Whether this is ur 1st or 10th tattoo, go see Matt. U won't b disappointed!

I came here to get a vertical labret piercing. Right away I knew the piercer was going to be good. He was careful and super friendly. He explained what he was doing every step. I ended up coming back to get it pierced over because I wanted it farther down on my lip. I called ahead of time to see when they could be available to do that. I didn’t even know I was speaking to the piercer until he told me, but he was so nice and helpful, and he offered to do it for free; I didn’t even have to ask. The second he did it in the exact spot I wanted. I will definitely come back to get more piercings. I will say he showed me the first time around the dots he made where he was going to pierce it to make sure that was okay with me. I wasn’t sure, so I told him I trust his judgment. So he does make sure it’s in a spot you want it.

OMG! I absolutely love Nate!! He’s absolutely wonderful he explains everything to a T on whatever your getting done.
I just went to NORTHSIDE TATTOO Saturday!!!!

Just had “Big Mike” do a cover up for me, and he was awesome! I went in for my consultation, he booked me an appointment for the same day and squeezed me in, and he was so patient. He took the time to draw up a few designs and give me as many options as possible. I also went alone (thinking I was used to a tattoo but cover ups are definitely more painful) and he talked to me the whole time, kept my mind busy, and explained everything he was doing. I highly recommend this shop, but even more so, big Mike. I’ll definitely be going back for some other work. Also, the shop is spotless clean.

Matt is so talented and honest. When I wanted something that he didn't think would look good, he told me. I was grateful. And the piece he did on me was just gorgeous. I get compliments on it everywhere I go.
Amber is also awesome. She has done several piercings for me and I think she has a softer touch than others I had a piercing from.

The shop is clean, the atmosphere fun and relaxing. Best tattoo shop I have ever seen. Definitely worth the drive if you are out of state!

My tattoo looks amazing. Matt was very professional and his line work was really perfect which I was worried about (for anyone not specifically him) at first because of my ocd. I’m glad my first tattoo artist will now be my only artist. I studied his work before and noticed he’s very versatile, he can give you what you want and have you walking away with a smile on your face. Thanks for the time I spent here. Love my new piece, sleeve officially started ☺

Atmosphere is great. Nathan is awesome with piercings, lets you know exactly what he is doing and why every step of the way. Very patient and knowledgeable. Big Mike is awesome with tattoos, puts you at ease and makes sure you get exactly what you want. Havent had a chance of sitting with Matt but I'm sure I will with a future tattoo. Highly recommend this place . Wont leave disappointed.

Love this PLACE!! I just got my first tattoo here and Matt (the owner) is so skilled it is incredible! Not only did he finish the tattoo quickly but he was just so chill! When I called, Nathan answered the phone and he was also very friendly! If this is your 1st tattoo or your 50th you will love this place!

Took my daughter for piercings. Nate is knowledgeable, friendly, and the place is immaculate. He provided an excellent service. The staff are helpful, friendly and personable. Highly recommend!

I have tattoos on my left forearm, my left hip, and going around my right thigh; all of which were done by Matt. I couldn't be happier with how they look and I get compliments on them all the time. I highly value the fact that Matt's passion for this art is present, from the honest advice he gives to his ability to free-hand details into the various tattoos that I have. Northside Tattoos is kept clean and inviting, with good pricing. I recommend them to anyone looking to get a tattoo and I will continue to do so.

Matt was extremely patient and informative with my first tattoo. The detail in the the Tiger Lillie’s is amazing and I am extremely happy with work. Clean and professional. Can not recommend Matt enough.

I got my septum pierced by Matt when they first reopened, and it has been my best piercing experience so far! The shop was immaculately clean, he took special care to bend a piece of jewelry to fit my nose perfectly, and also gave me plenty of aftercare supplies to make sure it healed perfectly. When i recently lost the ball to my jewelry, he mailed me an extra for free aswell! I recommend this shop to all of my friends and family, so professional and always a great experience.

Matt did a memorial tattoo for my dog that passed. He captured his character perfectly and I could not have asked for a better experience. Tattoo healed perfectly & I will be back for more. Highly recommend!

Not only is Matt an amazing artist, but also an outstanding business man. His place of business is well run and extremely clean. I’ve been a customer several times and even brought my daughter to him for her first tattoo!

I was lucky to have Matt give me a tattoo that he designed for me. He was professional and the place was clean and orderly especially with the restrictions due to Covid-19. I would definitely recommend going there to get your next ink! I will be back!

Great place! I've been here twice this year for tattoos by Big Mike. Very pleased
