Ive gotten some beautiful work done at Evil Genius and have several friends with similar glowing experiences. The staff is 100% professional, supportive of your design vision, and eager to make your vision a reality. Wouldnt dream of going anywhere else! They are absolutely worth the investment.
I had an amazing experience up and down the line with Evil Genius Tattoo Club. From receptionist to appointment and out the door. They are clean, respectful, and hyper-experienced: You are in good hands!!!I can only speak on one of their piercing professionals (Charly Lowe), but the maturity and respect given by this professional rivals some of the best. This is the place to go if you want confidence in your piercing.
One of the best, if the THE best piercing palor Ive been to so far! Super friendly and helpful staff, BEAUTIFUL studio. 10/10 I would absolutely come again
I lost my big sister back in July. I knew I wanted her signature on my wrist. I actually cried when Eli was done. It is exactly what I pictured in my head and he was able to do it in about 5 minutes. I highly recommend them. They take your health and safety seriously. I will be booking an appointment when I’m ready for my next tattoo for sure! Thank you Eli! I hope I spelled your name right.
Krist was my artist. He was an hour late to my consultation, and almost 2 hours late for my tattoo, and rescheduled finishing my tattoo twice before I gave up on him. He is a great artist but not worth the headache he will give you.
Charly was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I couldnt be happier with my daith piercing. I look forward to come back for additional piercings, quality jewelry, and fantastic service. Thank you Charly and Evil Genius Tattoo Club!
Ive had 3 tattoos done here so far and they all turned out beautifully! The artists are friendly, the shop is clean, and I will DEFINITELY be coming back! It is a little on the pricey side, but in my opinion the work is worth it!
Very professional atmosphere. Super kind staff and are always interested in what ideas you bring in with you.
I had a wonderful experience with Charly as my piercer. She was very helpful and super friendly. She made sure that my paired nostril piercings were just right.
Flip did my tattoo and was super patient and was awesome!!
I had my septum pierced by Charly it was amazing!!! She is professional and friendly. I love my piercing so much. The shop is super clean and they asked me to wash my hands after entering. They made me feel so welcomed. Charly explained her procedures and washed her hands multiple times. She did it free hand which, at first I was skeptical about since all the clamp videos on YouTube. But the outcome was so great. Bought a saline solution too. By far the best piercing experience!!!Got a nostril!!! Love the flat back jewelry!!!Got a tragus!!! The positioning is wonderful!!!
Everybody was so amazing! They went above and beyond keeping the place clean, and Charly talked me through absolutely everything and made my piercing as quick and painless as possible.
Excellent work by Flip! Comfortable atmosphere, professional personnel, trendy but not obnoxious, and easy to locate. Flip did amazing work and was happy to adjust the design exactly the way I wanted it.The pic is from the day I got it so the clear adhesive bandage is on. Its difficult to tell but the words are aligned with scars on my wrist. Its been a week and its healing wonderfully.
Love this place! I love the set up of it and everyone in there is great. Its so clean. Flip has done my last 2 tattoos and he has been great
After two sessions costing me $1,000 (+250 for a tip) I had my last session (approximate hour long finish up/touch up session) scheduled a couple days before shut down for covid 19 and was told it will be free of charge, I was pumped about that & just planned on leaving another $100 for a tip. I call to reschedule after they re-opened and they now tell me theyre going to charge me cause the guy that did my tattoo quit... Now my tattoo in memory of my father who just passed away is unfinished, I refuse to go back there cause thats shady and extremely unprofessional! GO ELSEWHERE!
Best experience at a shop I’ve ever had! They have a great comfortable atmosphere. Davion did a wonderful job on my tattoo and we all shared a lot of laughs. Definitely a fun experience and I’m already looking forward to going back for my next one.
I was very disappointed in the way Eli R. acted towards my wife. Was very rude the entire time she was in the back to get it set up. He kept saying “I hate this” and how he was never gonna do “something like this again” and “I don’t have time for this.” Lots of very unprofessional comments. He loved the idea for our consolation and when we got there, if he bit off more than he could chew he should have just been honest from the get go. (This would of been her first tattoo and he totally ruined the entire experience of it for her.) As he started getting more agitated he started handling her arm in the same manner and even left a red thumbprint on her inner forearm. A very bad and sad experience from someone who we thought would be our go to tattoo guy. Clearly thought wrong.
The best tattoo shop in Lafayette! Davion is fantastic- he knew what I wanted in a tattoo better than I did and exceeded every expectation I had in a tattoo and the experience in general. Everybody in the shop gives the BEST customer service and makes you feel welcomed in their shop, and it is so great how much they all give back in the community with being present at Mosey and their annual fundraiser. Highly, highly recommend Evil Genius!
Saip gave me and my wife amazing matching tattoos yesterday for our 10 year wedding anniversary. top notch work will definitely be going back I highly recommend him and and evil genius tattoo
So I have had a few Tattoos by Soldier Mike he has done an amazing job on a cover-up the pictures are down below. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family, my husband also goes we both have enjoyed all the work that he has had done. Soldier Mike does not just do a fast job he actually cares about his work, and wants only the best to come out of the shop.Thank you Mike these are the after pictures soon as I find the before picture I will definitely post it. I think a little bit of touch up is due from some black lines coming through but otherwise an amazing job. The tattoo on my chest turn my wounds into wisdom was new not a cover-up, and I am looking forward to getting more added to it thanks to the best shop in Lafayette. Very professional by the way and clean always a plus.
Don’t get Eli R, worst experience ever.
Went to get tattooed and was certain the man was drunk while tattooing me.... took 45 minute smoke breaks and lasted way longer than it needed to. Came in to get the tattoo finished and someone else there ended up just reworking it. It turns out, the artist was fired later, so I figured we would give them more chances since they were obviously trying to resolve the problem (even the reworking appointment was also a nightmare because the artist was acting like a jerk the whole time - taking his anger on the other artist out on me with his poor attitude). You simply cannot escape the endless sexual jokes and uncomfortable banter from the artists. Definitely a shop that not all clients will feel comfortable in and strongly a tattooer boys club atmosphere that is not female friendly. I brought my friend in to get her first tattoo and between the two artists sexual jokes (TOWARDS HER), she walked out almost in tears. And let me clarify, I have been to this shop a total of nearly 7 times and it gradually got much much worse each visit. The final straw was my sister going for a piercing on the bridge of her nose and ending up have to get it removed that day by another shop, because it was very crooked (vertically and horizontally). I am not one to leave a nasty review and I gave them many many chances. I am normally an incredibly understanding person who gives people the benefit of the doubt until the end of time, but I have had SO many concerning experiences here, I would be remiss if I didnt provide my input for others. And I have had more bad experiences that I am not going to take the time to type.
Unbelievably unprofessional experience with my artist. Firstly, he tried to have me pay and leave with an unfinished tattoo. An argument was necessary for him to say that the piece was not finished and agree to do a second session. Secondly, he charged me what I said my absolute maximum price could be (should have expected that). Thirdly, I showed up to my second appointment to be told he is out of town and would have to reschedule (and be put at the back of his waiting list). Months later, I show up to my rescheduled appointment only to wait in the waiting room for 2 1/2 hours, expecting to be blown off again. I was terribly afraid I would not get a finished piece. Would not recommend.
Award winning professional artists make you feel at home here. I go here for all of my tattoo work. The moment you walk in the people are friendly and helpful in assisting with piercings or tattoo selection. The artists here are great at designing a one of a kind piece of artwork for you. I highly recommend Evil Genius.
Nice chill atmosphere and very professional. Place was clean and each bay was organized. Im from indianapolis and Ill be coming back for more work.
Cant wait to go back to get more tattoos. I traveled here from VA to get my tattoo and I will be returning.
Charly Lowe is the best piercer I’ve ever had the pleasure of being pierced by! Very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, adorable, I could go on and on! I was also very impressed with the immaculate shop, it’s very clean and beautiful!!! Highly recommend!!!
Our experience was great! Săip was very helpful and informative consulting my husband and I on what our expectations and what he suggests would look best! Thats what a good artist does! Thats why we came to Evil Genius! They came highly recommended. And depending on the type of body art you are looking for, depends on the artist that best fits your expectations and their specialty in the piece you choose. I also like the fact that they charge by the hour. The way I look at it, you get what you pay for. If you are willing to endure it, you will get the best results by taking the time to perfect your piece. Great art takes time! I cant wait to get started!! Thank you Evil Genius for a good experience!(This is the piece Im looking to get, with Săip expert guidance, it will be bad ass)
Flip absolutely killed it with my tattoo. I was nervous it wouldnt fit on my arm, but he made it work. Crazy clean lines, will be back.
The piercer here is great! I highly recommend coming here. Shes by far the best Ive been to and I dont mind driving about an hour.
Davion was super friendly and vibed on my ideas immediately... Cant wait to see what he come up with! Front desk guy (Matt) was very professional and organized.
The artist are great! Super friendly environment. All their artwork is amazing
Got my first piercing here! Very nice staff, explained everything well and were very kind. Its expensive but the quality of the work (and jewelry) are worth it.
Got an eyebrow piercing with Charly Lowe and the experience was wonderful. Charly is extremely friendly and professional, and offers wonderful options for jewelry. Definitely will be going back for another piercing, I absolutely loved their work.
I love the piercer. She did a great job and was very nice. I will go here for all my piercings.
Everyone in the shop had a great attitude, everything was super clean and they were very serious about keeping everything sanitary. My artist was Eli, he did an amazing job taking a basic idea and turning to into an outstanding tattoo. Everyone was great to talk to and it was cool to see some amazing tattoos come to life while waiting or getting yours worked on. Would highly recommend to experienced and first timers alike.
Wanted to get my nipples repierced, Miss Charly Lowe took care of me. Everyone was very helpful, the atmosphere was awesome. I wished I lived back at home in Lafayette or closer, I have some ideas I may want to get soon... I also wanted to wish Miss.Charly Lowe a wonderful happy birthday, hope you enjoy your day!!!!!! Congratulations to you as well, keep ur head up and keep moving forward!!!! Also can’t wait to order more jewelry when the swelling goes down!!!
Took my 17 year ok daughter there for a tattoo the guy did amazing work..... and its sad to say but Im glad that he did move on from there because he was so much better than that place...... but the other people were bluntly rude and on top of all that when we went back to drop off school supplies and got that coupon no one explained to us that there was a limited on that and we could not use it for what it was worth like we were told ......we could...... so it was a rip off basically .....mand then when we did go back for another tattoo for her.... they lost her paperwork they said they dont know were they put it I didnt know so frankly if you want to go somewhere somewhere where you might and might not get someone who ranks of alcohol or rank of drugs
I didnt receive any services, however I went in with a friend who was getting pierced by Charly. I was blown away by the atmosphere of the club but also the friendliness, professionalism & expertise of not only Charly but ever staffer I interacted with. Should I ever decide on another tattoo/piercing, Evil Genius will be the only choice!
Got a piercing by Charly and the whole experience was great! She sterilized my jewelry in front of me and talked me through the whole thing.
Awesome piercing by Charly, thank you. We will be coming back
Customer service was amazing and Charly did an amazing job on my piercings. Would recommend to anyone and will be coming back!
They took very good care of me and my piercings made sure they were perfect and took extra steps to make me feel like more than just a client! Amazing place to go to and I highly recommend.
So far Ive had a piercing and a back piece done here, and both times its gone as smoothly as possible. I came in with a rough idea of what I wanted, and Davion was extremely helpful. He stayed true to the concept I wanted, adding his own flair to fit his style, and it turned out great! I cant wait to have more work done here. Extremely fair pricing for the quality of work done here.
Amazing atmosphere & everyone is so welcoming
Awesome place! So incredibly pleased with our PB&J! You will be seeing us again!
The guys are amazing. They do great work.
Great artist. Good work and fair price! Perfect for a tattoo!
My favorite tat place by far. Love the environment and atmosphere the people are great and nice and they do good work!
This is the only place I will go from here on out. The treat u like family. I got my front neck tat started and it looks amazing and they good price. I have tattoos from a bunch of shops and Im most happy with these guys they will finish the rest of my tattoos their amazing tattoo family.
Great experience. Total chill, wont ever forget my Indiana Experience Thanks to Flip for my new art work
David did an amazing job on my tattoo, and i am in love with it! He was super helpful, patient, and worked with my budget. i will definitely come back to him for my next tattoo!
Such an awesome group of geniuses!!! When size and style counts, these guys are by far the best! Very friendly and create a great atmosphere. By far the best drilling Ive had!!!
They have AMAZING tattoo artists!! Eli is the BEST!! and the staff is awesome as well!!
Love this tattoo shop! Amazing people and amazing work. Ive received 3 tattoos and a piercing here!
Eli was amazing! Love the vibe of the shop!
Great staff fun environment
SCAM!!!! This place will take your deposit for a tattoo and never provide any services for you. They feel protected by a small disclosure on their receipt that says Deposits are non-refundable They made me put down a deposit to save my spot for my tattoo. They mis-scheduled my appointment and made no attempt to fix the situation. Not even reschedule the time they had mistakenly scheduled me for because Id still be at work and would not be able to make the appointment. They blocked my messages, wasted my time, took my money, and were completely disrespectful! This place gives local tattoo shops a bad name please spend your HARD EARNED MONEY some where else!
Excellent service!!
I went an had Soldier Mike do my very first tattoo. I came in with a very crappy drawing and Mike turned it into something Im proud to wear. We got back relatively quick and Mike just made the entire experience very relaxed. He just talked and made jokes the whole time. He did really great keeping my arm cleaned up and had no problem tattooing me with a bleeding disorder and said not to hesitate to call with any questions. Definitely recommend and we will be back.
Ive had a tattoo and a piercing done here. I was very impressed both times. Ill be back for sure.
Davion did an amazing job with my tattoo. It’s the most clean and and well done tattoo I have now! He was patient and helped me design what I wanted when I wasn’t even sure what I wanted, and it’s gorgeous.
Charly, the piercer, knows her stuff but unfortunately the customer service at this shop is lacking.The first time I came in the man at the front desk ignored me and my boyfriend and carried on a conversation for a few minutes while we waited at the front desk. I had hoped that the wait was a one time thing but it was not.Three weeks later I came back to get a jewelry post changed out. I was hoping it would be a quick thing when I was down town but it took over 10 minutes of standing at the front desk just to be greeted and asked what I needed despite employees walking around and seeing me waiting.Im very disappointed and will not be returning.
Blew off appointments. Made me wait. Lied to me. Took my deposit. Said they wouldnt refund the whole money. Oh and to top it all off they threatened me and my friend. Specifically David Antiona or whatever his silly name is. So instead of being professional about it they made me have to go to the bank and file a complaint. If I could give 0 stars I would.
Davion is the best! Always a good time.
This place is amazing.... Even if you dont know exactly what you want they do everything in their power to help you.. Including search on the computer and help you come up with ideas to make your tattoo unique to you and something you will love for a lifetime!!! I will go no where else for a tattoo this is a 5 star tattoo shop!!! Thank you guys you are truly amazing
I made a spur of the moment decision to get a tattoo done, and they accommodated me very well. The artist took my original idea, and made it into something way better than I had previously envisioned! They were nice and professional when I had reached the end of my pain endurance, which was reassuring to me. Would recommend to any friend!
Even their apprentices do excellent work! Clean, hospitable, severely talented!
Amazing! The artists and receptionist are so kind and funny. Amazing, talented artists and would be the first tattoo club Id recommend to everybody. I love my tattoo!! Would definitely go there again.
I dont just have a tattoo, I have a work of art on my back. Krist knew how to take my idea to the next level to create a truly unique combination of art and science. He has respect for both art and his clients and I have enjoyed my 12 hours with him so far.
The worst piercing Ive ever gotten. My ear bled for 15 minutes and didnt stop once I left, the stud was the same size as the hole so my earring slid through the back of my ear the very next day. When i called asking what they could do about it they refused to help and said there was nothing they could do. Do not go here for piercings!!
Davion Ellis is a true creative genius! I came in to the shop with an idea for a memorable tattoo and he turned it into a beautiful work of art! He was professional through the entire process and I could not have asked for a better experience! I now know exactly who to go to when I need more work done. Thanks Davion.
Got a tat from Krist and Im pretty sure I got more compliments on my new tattoo at my wedding recently than my dress! Amazing work and a fun bunch of guys at the shop to chit chat with while you get your work done. I drove 3.5 hours to this shop and it was 100% worth it.
For their free tattoo scam they wanted you to donate 40 to 60 dollars worth of school supplies. I can pay that much to get a tattoo else where. It was a joke.
Good people to work with. Real artists!
1st trip to this shop and I have to say super friendly, clean and really happy artists there, Devine was my artist and she was awesome thanks so much and I look forward to coming back soon!
Dude refused to do what customer wanted so we went elsewhere and got it done. Looks amazing and not a hot mess like evil genius said it would.
I just got a daith piercing this afternoon. Not sure if it will help my migraines (not that I wouldnt mind a placebo effect), but at least I have a pretty piercing! It was super busy with a tattoo special going on, but they got me right in, only had to wait a few minutes. Mike took me back to the piercing room, he was totally awesome, just chatted the whole time. The piercing itself was one of the lesser painful ones I have experienced, and that went through cartilage. He took great care to clean it, and answer any questions I had, and told me not to hesitate to call if I have more questions. Amazing shop, super friendly, efficient, but thorough. Definitely would recommend to anyone thinking of getting a piercing done(or even a tattoo, if their tats are as good quality as their piercing)
Everyone always has a great personality
Mike does good work and is a blast to get a tattoo from. He did an excellent job on my all white tattoo.
Love this place Eli is the best
It was really chill. The dude doing the tattoo was friendly and made us feel welcome.
Loved it all and the experience...They did an amazing job ...And I will in fact be coming back soon thank you guys so much
I had my chest tattoo finished and the shop was beautiful. Everyone was very friendly and professional.
Very good group of artists and piercers, lots of great art and piercings done, a pretty good amount of high quality jewelry to choose from as well!!! Keep it going guys!!!
Very friendly and professional.....I like getting a sticker from soldier Mike after the tatoo was done by him....but they all made me and my daughter (her first two tatoos in life) feel comfortable.
This was my first tattoo at Evil Genius Tattoo Club and my second tattoo by Krist Karloff. This tattoo shop is super charming and clean. Theres a lot of love put into this shop, and it shows!My first tattoo healed beautifully, and Krist was available to answer all of my many questions/concerns. The same attention to detail from Krist was also applied to my second tattoo, and I cant wait to see how it heals!If youre in the market for a high-quality piece, Evil Genius Tattoo Club is the place to be!
I mean common !!! Davion works there lol
Was told the tattoo would be a certain price and after my girlfriend got it done, the price was raised considerably. was not the best quality tattoo either by far.
Excellent people
Its going to be an awesome shop! Newly remodeled, clean and professional!
Originality on tattoo was helpful. David is the go to 10/10
I had some bad tats fixed by Aaron and he was amazing...he made my mistakes masterpieces! Strongly recommend them...
Evil Genius is the best place to get a tattoo job done in Lafayette Indiana. Plus they have the experience and a whole lot of beautiful products for tattoo aftercare. The staff treat u like family and its a whole lot like getting ur tattoo done at home cuz the ambience in the shop is the bomb! I went from feeling like a customer to feeling like I belonged to the place! Kudos to Shawn Festiva and my tattoo artist Davion for coming thru with such an awesome experience!
