My daughter wanted her ears pierced I couldnt think of any better place to take her. She was scared at first but they made her feel like she didnt have anything to worry about. They made her first piercing something that she will never forget. Keep up the greak work guys!.!
Went in and got my first color ink done. My wife came in for a quarter sleeve. The work on both was absolutely legit! Sean was the ultimate professional and host with great attention to detail and post work care. The coloring on my Great Lakes tattoo was so vivid and sharp. We ended up spending all day just hanging, watching Its Always Sunny, eating fire Chinese food on breaks, and just laughing and having a great time. if you want top notch work in one of the chillest environments possible...I highly recommend Inkfam!
Not huge on reviews but credit needs to be given where it’s due! I went to Shadow with an idea and during our consultation, he went through all the ends and outs of what was to be expected along with making sure I was getting everything I wanted out of my tattoo session. He is very thorough and even listening to him create my design in his verbiage was amazing all in itself. He does just as much research as you would for your own tattoo! On tattoo day, he is 100% about the cleanliness of his work area and I appreciate of that very much. Shadow completed such an amazing piece, that is just the beginning of my story. He replicated feelings which is really hard to do in an art form. I definitely recommend InkFam and Shadow for your future work!!
I can NOT brag enough about this shop. Like for real, obsessed with their work. Sean K is literally a master a detail and has such an eye for art. Every idea Ive had he took and RAN with it. Sean did my Trex skull and a got tattoo. And DK.... Is also so so so good. He was insanely fast and his work is so GOOD . He did my wolf on my thigh.
Shadow was great!! He worked hard and continuously to make sure I got the art I wanted. He was very conversation and friendly. I love this art and I can’t wait to show it off to everyone! Highly recommend!!
Outstanding artists, great vibe. Shadowink owner and the best tattoo artist in the state. Look at his art gallery!
Sean Kiersztyn is a brilliant tattoo artist who makes you feel comfortable and extra special. He took an idea I had and completely blew it out of the water! He makes sure he does everything perfectly - custom artwork, placement, setup, tattooing, and after care. I highly recommend Sean as he is a true professional who will go above and beyond your expectations. All of his work is gorgeous and he uses top of the line ink and needles. I am already planning to go back for some other work. If you are reading this, don’t bother with any other place. Sean and Shadow are leading the industry in Indiana.
Sean is amazing! He took a simple picture and ran with it. I absolutely love my baby Yoda. I will never go to anyone else for my tattoos! The whole experience and atmosphere is awesome. Im already thinking of my next one.
Sean K absolutely killed this piece...From the design, to the chair experience including post care direction, Sean was a true professional.Tattoos are one thing, but ART is another, will most definitely be back!
Brent was Great he has been working on my sleeve for months pics coming soon as soon as the wrap is off, I cant tell you how well he took my ideas and turned them into a sleeve, the store is really nicely set up and very clean, the staff are cool (hot redhead), great location just off the highway. Got to meet the owner seems real cool.i would recommend going to these guys all day long.
Sean Kiersztyn nailed the cross on my thigh. He turned a google image into my own unique tattoo. Super friendly and nice guy too! Will definitely be back to have Sean put some more work on me
Such a professional shop and artists. You always walk out with exactly what you want, if not MORE THAN YOU ASKED. ShadowInk is the BEST and deserves an award for his artistic excellence. Love them like family, so excited to come back and send them more business!!!
I got my cartilage pierced at the end of July at Claire’s. It was hurting still after three months and I didn’t know what to do. I went into InkFam and their new piercer Adam took a look, he took out my piercings and the felt much better. The next day I went back and got my other ear done and my nose pierced. It was a great experience! Adam is very good and the shop is clean and everyone is nice.
The only place I will ever go to get tattooed/pierced. These people are the best of the best
So before I got my third tattoo, I wanted to try a new place. I looked online at several places and landed on Ink Fam Tattoo. Not knowing anything about their reputation I went in and met Sean. Same age and name as me so I knew he was the one. We discussed pricing, design, location etc... Sean was a nice and professional guy. He told me he took a little more time and was a little cheaper per hour. I was ok with that. Then we discussed time and date for our session. Going into this I knew this would take awhile 5+ hours, my longest session yet. The day came and we talked more about design and he finished up his sketch. Me being a skinny dude and nervouse and excited, I was shaking/shivering. He offered me a heating pad to lay on to help my chest muscles relax. He went over everything in detail then we got started. Details is what Sean does very well. We talked a little on and off but I remained quiet with my eyes closed. He would ask me how I was doing and keep me updated with his progress. Our first 2 hours went well and we took a 5-10min break so my skin could rest. He said Im not going to rush this and hurt you, I appreciated that. My skin was very thin on my chest so he had to use the lowest needle speed. He knew if it went faster hed tear my skin. I also appreciate him letting me know lol. We started talking more about general stuff/family dogs etc... which helped with the pain and time fly by. We took another break around the 4hr mark so I could stretch my legs, grab a drink etc... he was very excited how it was turning out. Keeping me informed the whole time. We finished at 1:15am (started at 7:30pm). It looked insane, so much details I was blown away! We discussed proper care of the tattoo, etc... and already starting talking about an addition to the one I just got. Sean is not just a great artist, but a friend who Im glad I met and let his creativity and talent be a part of me forever.
I highly recommend Inkfam! They are literally the best and are like family. Jojo has been doing my Peter Pan sleeve for almost a year now and I will forever come back for the rest of my ink. And, they are doing a Toys for Tats Drive that is AMAZING! It’s the best deal and best of all, you’re helping local kids! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! ️
An absolutely amazing establishment!! Very clean and professional!! Tank tatted and pierced me!! Had an amazing conversation with Shadow as well!! Thank you guys for your AWESOMELY AMAZING everything!!Highly recommend!!
Wonderful work done by great people. Shadow is the guy to go to if you want a beautiful watercolor tattoo.
The guys at InkFam are incredible! I’ve been in multiple times and every time the experience has been wonderful. The toys for tats program is OUTSTANDING! What a great cause and love to see their continued success! Thank you so much! Absolutely will be back soon!
Super chill yet very professional. Thank you Adam for the industrial piercing️️ I’ll be coming back soon!
Definitely great experience at Inkfam. I would recommend anyone and everyone I know to them. Clean and friendly and makes you feel at home. They always seem to be doing stuff for the community. This month was their toys for tats which helps you and the kids by getting half off every 200 dollars for only a 20 dollar donation. Cant beat this shop.
Called ahead of time for a walk in and Tank was more than ready for us to come in. He greeted us as we came in. As we talked about our tattoos, we were then told about toys 4 tats. We very much happy to take advantage of that situation! We love art and we of course want to provide for the children! Clean and welcoming, very much recommended!
Great with piercings. The vibes are amazing through out the whole shope!!!
Great place to get ink done. Very relaxed atmosphere, great friendly guys. I will definitely come back for all my work. They are currently having a toy drive! Stop and get some toys and get a great tattoo also.
Great work at a great price. The vibes are amazing!
The annual toys for tats drive is amazing. These artists are cutting the price for their awesome art in HALF in exchange for donations for homeless/needy children. Getting a great deal and giving to an amazing cause at the same time is great. 100% recommend to anyone.
I had a great experience at Inkfam. Not only are they professional, talented artists, they also support the community. Right now they are collecting art supplies for the Children’s Bureau so that all kids can have a chance to be creative. Great cause, great people!
Where can I even start. These artist are the real deal. They take time and patience to design your dream tattoo. They work with their community and gift families and children with art supplies every year. Ashley, their piercer is very nice and diligent in her work. Shadow, just a joy to be around always being uplifting. Jojo always hittin the jokes and just being a kind honest person. This is how all shops should be ran. This is why we go
What can I say? I don’t have any tattoos, but these ones kinda make me question why I don’t. This is some of the coolest, colorful, and well drawn art that must take time and patience to create. I hear the staff is super positive and welcoming as well. All I know is that if I ever did get a tattoo, I would definitely go Inkfam, for real.
Ive been traveling from North Carolina to Indiana to get my tattoos from Shadowink for years! I wouldnt trust anyone else. Hes always professional, does an amazing job, and has a shop thats full of positivity and clean. Im never disappointed and have sent so many friends his way who are so happy too!
Fantastic shop all the guys are great. Great artists will did a Celtic knot on my arm and it is by far my best piece. The toy drive is great and everyone should support all they are doing.Thanks again.JJ
Came in for the Toy Drive and was so amazed at how many toys were here! This is by far the best charity I’ve seen! Tank was my artist and he has been awesome! Thanks everyone there!
Seen the tattoo that I am getting shared through FB and that made me come in. From the time I came in I got all the knowledge I needed to make a good decision on what I really wanted and where to place it so that it would encompass everything I wanted. Coming to get the tattoo not only was everything cleaned and wiped down but we went over everything before proceeding with the tattoo. My tattoo placement is right on my left breast and my tattoo artist Tank never once made it awkward or make me feel uncomfortable. I can’t wait to come add more n more work through this shop. I won’t be going anywhere else.
Dope shop. Very customer oriented. I’ve been getting tattooed by Shadow for 7 years and Won’t go to anybody else. Such a laid back and ‘cool’ place to get a tattoo. The environment is awesome. I would recommend all of the artists here 10x more than anywhere else in Indianapolis. Best tattoo shop in Indy!!!
Tank is amazing. Great work with piercings and tattoos. #1 recommended person to go to for perfect piercings and excellent results
Seriously such an amazing shop! Tank did my piercings and I could not be happier! He talked me through it and made me feel so comfortable! Highly recommend!
Great tattoo shop. Super friendly and attentive. They also have an awesome toy drive going! Made sure I was 100% happy with my design.
Great tattoo shop and environment to be in, absolute great work. Award winning artists. Currently there’s an ongoing toy drive in order to gather up art related toys for kids who don’t have much. Highly recommend!!!!!!
I had scars on my left arm that I knew I wanted covered up. Once I realized the perfect tattoo to close a chapter in my life and serve as a new beginning, I knew I wanted Shadow to do it. I told him what I wanted and it couldnt have turned out better! The kicker was his mentality and attitude. He has such a positive outlook and he treats everyone like they are family and they belong. You arent a stranger or a nameless face. He has a gift and a big heart! People like that are a rarity in this world. You cant go wrong with him or his artistic vision. He free-handed another special tattoo for me and I cant wait to get more!!! Inkfam is a great place with good people! Tattoos are for life, the memories and who brings the art to life are just as important as the ink on our skin!! If you havent checked them out, go!! You wont be disappointed!!
I highly recommend InkFam to go get your tattoo and piercings. It’s a great shop the people are friendly and great to talk to. They are doing a toy drive donation for the kids and I like how they are giving back to the kids. I support that and I appreciate seeing people giving back to the kids.
Clean shop, friendly artists! Tank very patient and the tattoo is exactly what I wanted.The shop is collecting toys for a toy drive...4 years strong! Highly recommend!
It is really hard to put into words how great this place actually is, from the atmosphere, to the quality of work, to the arrists themselves. It is through and through the best tattooing experience you can possibly ask for.Before I decided to actually go through and get the tattoo I had been putting together and getting it just how I wanted it, I wanted to go and meet with the artist I had been talking with about doing it [Shadow] and as soon as I met with him I knew that he was going to be able to bring my idea to life.
The artist at this shop are extremely talented. Not only can they leave a WOW factor, the artists are very inspiring and uplifting. Shadow is hands down the best artist I have ever seen! He Gets 10 stars!
Best tattoo/piercing shop in Indy!!! Shadow does amazing work. Literally obsessed with the 3 tattoos he’s done on me so far and Ashley comes up with the most unique and gorgeous placement and jewels for your piercings. The whole vibe of the shop is positively on point, always. Plus, two new artists just recently started too!
Great experience! Tank was amazing and did a great job on our tattoos. I will definitely go back!
Came in today and my friend got a very nice tattoo from Jojo. Not only did he do a great job but he was very knowledgeable and personable!!! Very nice guy. I also got nipple piercings from Ashley. She did a great job...!! She was fast and very nice. They both did a great job!!!! Loving this place!!!
So much talent is within this shop. And that is only the beginning.. You feel so welcomed in as soon as you walk in the door there is so much love and positive vibes its definitely amazing
I am so grateful for Inkfam and Shadowink. Since day one Shadow has gone above and beyond to create the most beautiful artwork I have ever seen. His shop is inviting and the atmosphere is always positive. Just last week my toddler and another child were playing in Inkfam while us parents got to visit with Shadow. Never in my life would I have expected such a family oriented environment inside a tattoo shop. Ashley is a very skilled piercer and and awesome person. Excited to see some new faces in the shop too!! For sure the best in the Midwest. Inkfam for life.
I’ve been going here for 4 almost 5 years now and have received all of my tattoos and piercings here. It’s a very friendly, respectful, and fun environment. The shop is VERY clean (this is coming from a nursing major so I spend a lot of time in sterile facilities). Whenever someone asks where they should get a tattoo I recommend here every time! I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!
Such a great experience!! Toys4tats @ Infam Tattoo is one of the many reasons that this is the only place that I will ever go to!! Check out all their work! You won’t be disappointed!!!
I received a sternum piece from Shadow back in April of 2017, I am very pleased! Not only was my experience at the shop without a doubt wonderful, my ink has stayed vibrant! Shadow along with the entire shop make you feel at home! It was a six hour session and it sailed right on by so smoothly. It being in a sensitive area I was very concerned about the pain, Shadows technique made it seem painless. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone! Thank you so much for my stunning owl and for welcoming me into the INKFAM! Blessed to have crossed paths with such an amazing soul
This tattoo shop is amazing. Everyone that works here is super friendly and they make you feel at home right away. Shadow did a piece for me that was very personal and as soon as week spoke I knew I could completely trust him to do it beautifully. His artwork is incredible and he understands how to place a tattoo so that it flows with a persons shape (which anyone who as tattoos knows is very important) Truly the most talented tattoo artist I have ever encountered. I will be getting more ink in the future and wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else. Thank you Inkfam!
This place is the best! Full of positive energy and tons of beautiful art. Shadow did my tattoo and he is an inspirational artist who has a beautiful eye for freehand art! I couldnt be happier with my experience!! Would recommend to anyone.
Clean and awesome shop! Great group of people and felt welcome from the moment I walked in. Toys for Tats is an amazing way for them to pay it forward!
Ink fam has probably the best environment for tattoo shop that I’ve personally seen. They make you feel so welcome and comfortable. Whether you are getting a tattoo or piercing they are there to make sure this is what you want
Great shop; great atmosphere; very good intentions. tank is great if you’re looking for someone to make your experience fun and stress free
This place is much more than a tattoo shop its like a family. The first time i walked in the noticed my wife did not have her new tattoo covered so they covered it for her when most places would look past it. I have found my tattoo shop i will be coming back to get more.
Jojo did an awesome job. He did a memorial tattoo for my Grandfather and it turned out wonderful. I am excited to know that I have found a regular artist. He has more work in the future to do on me including cover ups. Thank you Jojo...
Definitely not your average tattoo shop. A full spectrum of custom artwork,amazing artist, and literally the most welcoming business in Indy! Every piece of art is infused with the signature positivity of the owner and artist Shadow and is represented within his extended “family” of artists. Definitely the place to go for any tattooing and piercings needs!
This is a great shop and the people are awesome! Toys for Tats makes it even better! The finished product is better than I could have imagined, thanks JoJo
Great tattoo shop with a good location. Friendly and professional staff. Every other month is walk-in with the others by appointment for tattoos with Shadowink.
I have always been very self-conscious with a 16 inch scar I got from breaking my arm several years ago. I have always wanted to get a tattoo to cover it. I found the most amazing person to do this at Inkfam. Shadowink is the man! The whole team there is fabulous. You feel like family when you walk into their doors! If you are looking for great artists I highly recommend Inkfam!
One word .. Awesome!! Atmosphere, people, and tattoos...and to top it off the toy drive is unbelievable ..honored to be a part in and to be tattooed here wouldnt think of going anywhere else!!
Came into InkFam looking to start my half sleeve. Had the best experience getting started. All the guys in the shop made ya laugh and made it an experience versus just getting a job done. JoJo absolutely killed the start. Cleanest lines you’ll find. Let his artistic juices flow to guide me on how we took the start.
I LOVE this shop. It’s always a happy and positive invironment. I would stay there all day just to look at the art he has there and watch him do tattoos. My boyfriend and I drove 2 hours just to go there so I could meet him because my boyfriend already met him. I promise you, your experience there will be the best one you will ever have. I highly recommend him.
Before I even got to the door I was greeted like family! I have had a horrible experience in a different tattoo parlor so I was sketchy about trying again at InkFam. My worry and anxiety disintegrated as soon as I saw the crew. They are the sweetest, most talented people you could ever meet. I donated $40 in childrens art supplies to help their fundraiser. It is an honor to get a tattoo done by such caring people. I have found the shop I will continue to go to.
Very friendly environment, great tattoo artists! Came in for the toys for tats toy drive and will definitely be coming back!
Great atmosphere when I walk in. The artists are good. The toy drive is a great thing that I’ve never seen any place do before and it’s great to give too
Best staff around. Fantastic designs and immaculate artwork. If you’re going to get a tattoo, Inkfam is the way to go!!
This is going to be my third Toys for Tats ink experience. Will did my first two tattoos. Now my friend and I are getting matching thigh tattoos by Jojo. Im glad to help out the kiddos and get a tattoo for half price.
It’s that time of the year, toys for tats here at InkFam. Bring in toy/art donation for kids to receive discount off a tattoo. Getting a thigh tattoo. They are the best always making you feel comfortable and always taking great care of me.
Shadow is a positive person and takes time to talk with his clients. He makes everyone feel like part of the InkFam and his art is unlike anyones Ive ever seen, its unique and from his heart. I love his work and his positive energy. Shadow is one of a kind. Hes not only a tattoo artist, but he does lots of work in the community. He does classes for the children at the childrens bureau to help give them something to help them be positive no matter what their situation is and does Toys for Tats during the holidays and has donation drives throughout the year to give back to those in need. Shadow stands out not just for his work as a tattoo artist but for who he is as a person. Hes the real deal. And I love the way he makes time for his nephews and nieces and that he always tells them he loves them and he plays with them. Hes all heart and dont let his success go to his head. Like I said hes the real deal.
Absolutely perfect outcome. Shadow not only makes the artwork do what you want it to, he takes the time to understand why you want it, and the purpose behind the art. It’s a tattoo parlor, but offers so much more than just about getting a tattoo...it’s the full experience. Thank you to Shadow and all that his team does!
This place is awesome. Jo jo did a fantastic job!! Extremely friendly and very clean facility.
Inkfam Tattoo Gallery is second to none. Every individual is welcomed personally and the environment is great. The artists love what they do and it shows! Inkfam for life
They were super kind, offered both my friend and I water as we waited.I went there last year to get my nose pierced and the experience was great. The prices are definitely very affordable.
Absolutely love how generous this shop is!! They’re collecting toys for under privileged kids in return for discounted tattoos, the shop is packed full of toys. Not to mention how talented everyone here is!
Very clean shop when I walked in I was greeted by many I felt very welcome and comfortable. I was offered to join in a toys for tats toy drive to save a big discount..this place is awsome.
Been here multiple times. It’s the only place I trust. Smashley is an amazing piercer. Jojo is an amazing artist and of course Shadow is a beast. Friendliest staff around!!!
Working with everyone at Inkfam has been a pleasure each time I’ve visited the shop!! Will has been a pleasure to work with! The toy drive is such an amazing way to help the community!
Love this place and staff. Especially around the holidays great deal while the toy drive during Christmas.
If you’re looking for ink or new piercings, the family down at Inkfam are where It’s at. Every year they do a Toys for Tats drive. Come down, get a quote, they will tell you what kind of donation (art related) to bring in for the kids and schedule your appointment. I’ve been coming here for 2 years and I can’t imagine me going anywhere else. Jojo is a killer when it comes to ink. Tank kills it with piercings.
Had a great experience here for my first tattoo! Great staff and very admirable work they do for toys for tots!
Shadow is an excellent artist and truly meant to be doing what he does. He is calm, cool, and collective. Really listens to what the client wants. A great entrepreneur. Keep doing what you do. Great work!
There is so much to say about INKFAM! Not only is it a tattoo/piercing shop its also a place to go if you want a Positive experience! This shop is nothing like any other place youve been in to get a tattoo or piercing! You walk in and everyone is so welcoming and positive! Shadow always makes it a point that you dont have to be getting any work done to just stop by and say whats up! Ashley is an amazing piercer! Ive never had a problem! Both artists in there are very creative and make sure you are getting what you want! They hands down are doing something they love and arent just doing it for a paycheck! They truly love what they do! Shadow is my artist, Happy to say I trust him with my all to let him freehand his artwork on me! Hes not only an artist but a great friend! Such a positive & inspiring person!! If youve never been to INKFAM youre truly missing out! Go up there just to say hey && Meet the team!
Best tattoo shop in Indy, hands down! Great artists with an exceptional eye for detail. They take the time to do it right and never make you feel rushed. I have three large scale pieces from this shop and they are all amazing. I highly recommend InkFam!!!
Awesome place and great people. Go see Will he is super professional and a phenomenal & patient artist
Back up at InkFam to get the right side of my neck done. I was very satisfied with my visit the first time that I came back to see the guys, get another tattoo and most importantly donate toys for their Toys for Tats. I highly recommend InkFam to anyone looking for a new tattoo.
I got my daith piercing here by Ashley a month or so ago and it’s perfect! So cute and healing perfect and she’s such a sweetheart! Hubby and I both follow shadow on social media and love the positive energy he puts out and how much he helps the community and his work is incredible.
Great positive artists. Clean professional shop. highly recommend!!
This is in my opinion is the best shop in Indianapolis. Shadow or Ashley will greet you at the door as soon as you enter. Very friendly people. Very clean, Ill never go to another tattoo and piercings shop. Very comfortable. Good people, good vibez.
Brittany killed it! She is awesome! She took our thoughts and created a piece of art that I am so proud to wear with my daughter! Love love love!!!
Love that I could help out with the toy drive they have going on! I will be coming back to the shop.
