Studio Reviews

"Self Inflicted Downtown is a tremendous place."

Everyone is extremely kind, really the best people. Every artist is a master of their craft and are great at communicating and listening to their clients. Every artist offers something different to the shop in their own unique way, but as a whole the team can fulfill any tattoo dream you have possible. I am so grateful to have this shop in my life and I hope you make the right decision and get tattooed at Self Inflicted Tattoo in Downtown St Louis. Shout out to all the homies.

"If you're looking for top notch tattoos, this is the place to go."

I would trust any of the artists to give me a tattoo. I have been to Adriana I few times. The tattoos I got from her are always sick. She does a amazing job and explains how and what she is going to do before she even gets started. What sets them apart from other shops? Everyone of the artists are passionate about their art and you can tell it. You are not just another client to them. If I could give more stars I would. I highly recommend checking them out for your next tattoo.

"Great studio with great people!"

Super professional and excellent work. Billy was delightful, and did SUCH a cool piece for me (walk-in appointment!). Definitely coming back next time I'm in STL!

"This place is awesome!"

I highly recommend coming here for any of your tattoo needs. Phil has done amazing work on my leg sleeve and I can’t wait to see what he does next!
— Elizabeth R.
"Great experience and would definitely recommend!"

My husband and I were out of town walk ins. The process was super easy and an artist was available right away. We both got something small but our tattoo artist still treated the tattoos with importance. Great experience and would definitely recommend!
