Leif is an amazing artist. He was able to take my vague idea and make it beautiful. Also appreciate the flat hourly rate. Sounds crazy but my best tattoo is my least expensive. Cant wait to get my next one.

Ive been following these guys for over a year now. Im from Manistee but live in Denver now and have been wanting a little Michigan tattoo for a while. Their shop minimum is a little higher than others in the area but you will always pay for high quality work. Leif did my tattoo and he was great! The shop is really clean and I would recommend them to anyone.

Leif is amazing and I really appreciate all the time and effort he put in to designing the perfect piece for me. He was great to work with and his work is beautiful. Everything exceeded my expectations - artistry, health & safety, professionalism, all of it!

Clean shop, amazing artists and just down right good people. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this place. Leif was great to work with, professional, and executed what I wanted really well! The shop is very clean! Great experience for my first tattoo. Thanks, Leif!

Nice and clean shop, quality work.

Leif did an amazing cover up of my previously awful finger tattoo. Great artist and has a fun personality with a gentle touch. Highly recommended!

Ram is a fantastic artist and a lovely human. He always is very professional and does great work!

I had the pleasure of working with Leif. He is certainly an artist at heart and, as somebody with little artistic talent, I welcomed his ability to take creative ability in the process. He improved an existing tattoo I already had on my shoulder. I gave him a verbal description of what I was looking for and a couple of visual examples I found on Google and he was able to create something I love. In addition to being a talented artist, he is professional and the atmosphere of Rams shop is welcoming, comfortable, clean, and professional.A++ would recommend.

I cant speak for Leif, but Ram is top notch. Great guy to talk to and to work on a design with. His work is top shelf from fine lines to large intense shading and is always exactly what I want. Book him now, though, because hes always busy and booked out a while in advance. Worth the wait though!

Not your typical streetTattoo Parlor! When I first walked into Traverse City Tattoo a year ago I was impressed with how clean the shop was. Ram has been working on a half sleeve for me that is almost complete. This tattoo is some of the nicest ink I have seen. Very good color saturation and color transitions are seamless. I would recommend this shop to anyone. The wait is worth it.

Leith was awesome. Id definitely come back. Very easy going and work looks great.

Both Ram and his apprentice Leif are putting out some great work. I could barely even hear their machines, and it was by far the least painful tattoo Ive ever gotten. Must go if youre a collector in TC!

Felt like a number, not a customer. Didnt have art finished when I showed up. This is not the place you want to get tattooed at.

I have gotten 1 tattoo from Ram and it was great! I love the work and hes easy to talk to during the process. Would highly recommend to people that want top quality work.

Ram & Leif were awesome :) They made sure that I was comfortable & that the tattoo was exactly the way I wanted it. I was comfortable with trusting him to make this everlasting mark on my body! Totally going there again :)

Ram does awesome work. Shop is clean and professional. Highly recommend

I had never been tattooed before I walked into this little hole in the wall parlor. As soon as I walked in the door I felt like I was at an old friends house. Not only did I walk out with a bada$$ tattoo but have found a gem hidden in Traverse city. I cant thank Leif enough. I would recommend this shop to everyone.

Leif Kolt is currently working on my half sleeve and even though its not finished, I get many inquiries as who is the artist. Of my 17 tattoos, this is the one that stands out.

Leaf does great color work and did super well on the cartoon one I got

Clean, skilled, professional artist.

Ram and Jason do amazing work . They are amazing artist

Leif was fantastic to work with

Good job. Nice tattoo. I am satisfied.

So happy with the work Ive had done here. Ram and his staff are incredible!

Leif and Ram are the only tattooist I trust in town

Best artists in Traverse city!

So so
