Irezumi Body Art

This was my first tattoo and Alex made me feel comfortable. Despite their familiarity with tattoos, there were no judgements, just friendly advice and willingness to to what I wanted. I will be returning to Iresumi for my 2nd tattoo! more

Thanks, Allie! This shop is the best in town, i got an amazing tattoo by Allie and it turned out better than i expected. i would have gotten it sooner if i had known that she moved from west port to this shop!!! its a farther drive for me but more than worth the effort for AWSOME art work!!!!! more

Joe is very friendly and nice and he has been gentle with all my piercings. and Beth always helps me order great jewelry and the one time i got a piercing not from her, it got horribly infected, because the piercer used the wrong type of metal, she gave me a new one for free. Tiffany gave me my first tattoo and she was perfect and worked with me to figure out exactly what i wanted. its been almost 2 years and it hasn't faded one bit and healed perfectly. I always recommend them. Pros: super friendly, clean, and reasonbly priced more

I went here to get my tragus pierced and couldn't have been happier with my results. The piercing healed very nicely because they explained what I should do to take care of it and they even gave me a free cleaning solution that normally costs $10. \r \r I went back to get my rook pierced and had the same results; no infection and no complaints at all. I will be going back soon to get my lip pierced because they're so damn good and clean too.\r \r They are also really reasonably priced. My tragus, and rook were both $40, and I recently called and asked about the price for my lip and it is $40 also.\r \r I showed this place to my friend and he ended up getting his first tattoo here. It was a cross on his right shoulder blade and at first I didn't think it would look very good, but they are such good artists that it looked amazing. This is where I will be going this summer to get my first tattoo. I would not go anywhere else after finding a great place like this.\r \r The artist told my friend that at Irezumi's they have way higher standards than your typical tattoo parlor. Which is easy to see after getting a tattoo here. more

Wife went here to get her nose pierced - and absolutely loved the experience. She said the guy who did it was extremely professional, polite, and told her everything she needed to know to take care of her piercing. She then had a Jason tattoo a clover on her ankle. Looked great, until less than an hour later, her lower leg was swollen. A trip to the ER revealed that she had gotten a staph infection from the tattoo parlor... I tried calling the shop the next day, and was basically told that my wife must've done something. I told them, no, she got the tattoo, came home, showed me, I noticed it looked a little red and swollen, and within the hour, her ankle and lower leg were swollen, resulting in the trip to the ER. The person who answered the phone said, ""sorry dude"", and hung up. VERY unprofessional, and i'm telling everyone I know to not go here... Pros: Great piercing! Cons: Unclean tattoo's more

After going to several tattoo shops in town, and being turned down, Irezumi's took the time to work with me, rearranging my tattoo, getting me in as soon as possible, I found them VERY nice and workable. Not a bad price either! Pros: Workable, clean, friendly, GREAT for first time tattoos Cons: - more

I just got my nose pierced by Beth tonight at Irezumi. She was extremely friendly, made me feel comfortable because I was nervous, and was very fast during the actual piercing. The entire place was very clean, and the piercing room was exceptionally sterile. I really appreciated the friendly atmosphere at Irezumi and highly recommend it to anyone getting a piercing. Beth also talked to me about piercing care, and was very informative during the entire process. I really appreciated her attentiveness!! Pros: CLEAN, HELPFUL, FRIENDLY Cons: none! more

I have been going to Irezumi on Wornall since 2003 and its the only place I've been to for my tats and piercings. I feel like I'm friends w/ everybody there. Its like going to ""Cheers"", where everybody knows your name! They do great work there, its all very clean and sanitary (even the bathroom), and everyone there is very knowledgable and will tell you straight out if what you want can be achieved w/o looking like... bad (the site bleeped sh*t AND po*p AND cr*p!).\r Brian is my tat artist (the bestest!), Beth and Joe are my piercers - I have full trust in everyone there! Pros: all of the above more

My girlfriend wanted to get her hood pierced while we were in Kansas City on vacation. So we browsed many search results from the Internet and reviews. We read that Irezumi Body Art was the best in town for piercings. So we decided to check them out. It's Saturday night and they were open until 11:00 PM down on Wornall street. We walked in, the shop was very neatly organized, and more importantly very clean. We were greeted by the artists as soon as we walked in, and we told them what we wanted. The girl doing the piercing, Beth, was very professional and had done many of these before. We went back into a private, well decorated, very sanitary room. She was very informative about the procedures and continued along with the piercing. It was PERFECT. My girlrfriend was so relieved that everything went as smooth as it did. Pros: Extremely Clean, Friendly, Professional more

Staff extremely personable and professional. I got my eyebrow pierced here about 6 years ago, and came back to get my navel pierced by Joe. Quick and no pain/discomfort after the initial piercing. Location was also very clean and prices were very reasonable. Pros: Walk-in availability more

I got my first tattoo when I was 19 years old and I have been addicted ever since. I have 8 tattoo's total and everyone of them have been done at Irezumi. I reccommend them to everyone I know and I have had several friends go there and leave highly pleased. I have never had to have a tattoo touched up either. The owner is extremely nice and the artists are amazing. I wouldnt get a tattoo anyplace else. Pros: Talented, Affordable more

I just got a tattoo the day i turned 18 they were very polite and told me every step i watched the needles be disposed and put in and they are very talented i would recommend them to anyone who wants a good quality tattoo at a reasonable price for their work they were recommended to me by a good friend so i would like to share them with you. Pros: good area, reasonable price, easy to find Cons: none, none, none more
