Reviews of Syndicate Tattoo & Piercing

Jayme McFadden

Kortney Van Wyk and the crew are amazing. They love what they do and their work shows. They are always reasonably priced and have flash sales all the time. Several members of my family will be repeat customers.

Accurazy

Awesome shop! Kortney is a super good artist and piercer and she’s very patient and pleasant to talk to. Jake is a very good artist and friendly person as well, both have left a super good impression on me whenever I’m in there, highly recommend them to anyone looking for solid work!

Justice Cronin

Love this place! All of my tattoos I’ve gotten, have been great (5 total) wouldn’t ask for anything different! The vibe and the thoughtfulness of everyone that works here is amazing. Will continue to come here for my future work!

Tasia Van Wyk

I can not say enough great things about syndicate! Jake does an amazing job and is very knowledgeable and amazing to work with. Jake is willing to take your ideas and designs and make them into an amazing piece. Kortney is also amazing and easy to talk to! I recommend this place to anyone looking for a new tattoo!!

Andrew did a great job, did 3 flash tattoos on a walk-in, was very quick and efficient. He had a great attitude and joked around the whole time. Was a great experience and will be back

Jessika Grooms

Drew was amazing!! He understood the sentiment behind my tattoo. Made the process and experience so easy, relatable and overall beautiful. Will I go back for more tattoos by Drew, ABSOLUTELY! Thank you Drew.

Shelby Danilson

I love everyone here. Jake did a adorable elephant tatto ont left arm:) I didnt use the proper ointment on it so some ink came out, but he made sure I knew I could come anytime to come get it fixed. He is super nice and real about everything, he did my first tatto and with no doubt made me feel comfortable and safe:> Andrew did my second tattoo, with the skull hand holding the rose:> I was nervous of the placement and if it would hurt. But he made sure I was comfortable and made jokes to me and my friends through out the tatto he is also doing a sketch for my pet snake:) kortney I just met today she seems super nice and I might plan to get my 3rd tatto with her soon:> Everyone here is amazing and fun to be around. I love the vibes I definitely recommend for people to come here!:>

Facility was very clean, brightly light, and the music was not overly loud. Drew did amazing work! I will return for more art for sure. All staff where very friendly, talkative, and professional. Pricing was not overly extravagant and felt very fair to me. Can't wait to go back.

Abby Poortinga

Drew their apprentice did an amazing job and was so patient and kind hearted! My first experience with this company was not the best and the customer service through the phone could have been a lot better. But Drew took the time out of his day to contact me and convince me to give this place another try. And I did and I am so happy with everything that went down! I even got to hold a cute stuffed animal while I got my first tattoos! Thanks so much Drew for being patient and kind with me! I am so glad I got to be apart of your beginning as an artist and I am so glad you were the one to do my first tattoos. I will definitely be going back!

I’ve been tattooed by both bear and kortney and will continue to contact them whenever I some new ink! Both amazing and super professional. Love the vibe and how they make you feel super comfortable during the whole session. I’ve been here several times for both tattoos and piercings and I’ve never had a bad experience. Pricing is unbeatable. Highly recommend this shop

Jacob LeClair

My girlfriend and I had a great time at the shop!! It was her first tattoo from an actual tattoo machine and expert. The artist that worked on us was really cool and easy to talk too. 10/10 I would recommend this shop and I'm most definitely going to be going back there here soon. This shop could potentially be a permanent establishment for me to go get many more tattoos from!!

L S

I absolutely loved how they were with me and my nervousness I will definitely come back to get more

Krystal Arleaux

I would highly recommend Syndicate Tattoo Co.! My son and I had tattoos done together to celebrate our birthdays! His was super simple and mine a bit more detailed. Bear gave us both wonderful service. He made sure things were just right. His artistic ability is amazing and when he is able to express his creativity he is inspiring to watch. I am in LOVE with my meaningful tattoo. His ability to relate to others makes the conversations flow naturally which makes the time go by faster. Thank you so much Bear!

Jadan Hyde

Really good staff love the work they do all around great vibes!!

Amy R

I had my second piercing there this time by Kortney and she did my septum. I love it! She was very careful about getting it in the right spot, explained the healing process and tips on flipping it if needed. Very thorough, will definitely be back!

Beverly Atchison

I crossed getting a tattoo off of my bucket list!! Staff explained the procedure of what they would be doing. Very friendly, professional and caring. Made me so glad I waited to have my ink done by Jake!

I live 3.5 hours away. Only went there because my nephew got a tattoo. The shop is clean and beautiful. Very relaxing atmosphere. Bear did an amazing job and is now my tattoo artist. Definitely worth the drive.. I had a blast there.

Jasmine

I went to get my septum pierced and I loved it! Had a cute waiting room, weren’t late, and very easy to work with! I came in with a little anxiety and they were very nice and talked me through everything. Would recommend!

Debbie Hofer

Marrita Benshoof39

My Son Caine absolutely loves this shop!

Corey Miller

Absolutely awesome, the young gal that helped us was very personable and easy to talk to. She made some suggestions that helped out tremendously. We will be going back.

Amber Hayes

Bear gave me my first tattoo today and I am SO pleased. He was friendly, professional, and did an amazing job. On Christmas Eve 2017 I lost my 16 year old son Joseph in a car accident right outside of Altoona. My first tattoo is in his memory so it is extra special to me. The words “Live Forever” was Joseph’s favorite song by the band Oasis and we would find it scribbled on his school work and drawings. His signature he wrote on a homework assignment on his 16th birthday. Thank you, Bear, for being so incredibly kind and doing such a good job. My next appt. is scheduled and I can tell I am already hooked. Highly recommended!! Kourtney has done a couple piercings for me too and did a great job. ❤️ Check out the new shop, it’s super cool!

Caine Benshoof
