Testimonials

Testimonials

Rachael Rice

“I had my first tattooing session with Nikole a week ago, and the entire experience, from beginning to end, has been nothing short of amazing. Nikole, along with the entire staff, have always made me feel so welcome and well-taken care of in the shop from the moment I walk in. I have been to a lot of tattoo shops, and I can easily say that this is the one in St. Louis that I will be frequenting from here on out!!”

Michaela C.

“I was in the shop a few months ago for a septum piercing. Overall, had a wonderful experience. From setting up my appointment on Arch Nemesis’s website (the introvert part of me was thrilled), to an inviting environment in the shop, to a great piercing. Bri was the one who pierced my septum. She walked me through everything and was super kind. Definitely will come back to this lovely, clean, and safe environment.”

Hannah Sanders

“Amazing shop! Comfortable and fun vibe. I felt like I was at spa day. Worked with Avacyn, who created a beautiful design based on our consult and did an amazing job applying it! I look forward to returning for color and many more tattoos in the future!”

Sea

“From the initial call I made to the front desk to the follow-up message assuring me if I needed any additional work, I was more than welcome to come in, this was quality customer service and artistic ability, alongside professionalism. I cannot stress how much I loved every aspect of it, I am very tentative when it comes to tattoo shops so this was truly a wonderful experience and piece of art. I'm already planning out the next tattoo I want.”

Sera Dawn

“I highly recommend Kris and everyone at Arch Nemesis. Kris and everyone there are friendly, professional, and experienced. I knew what I wanted going in, Kris gave me exactly what I wanted, and it turned out better than I expected. I got a total of 6 piercings in one sitting. She's very skilled at what she does, very sanitary, and the experience wasn't that painful, just a slight pinch. I'll definitely be going back if/when I have plans of getting more done!”

Siara Moon

“The vibe in this shop is the best I’ve ever been in! I had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Kat, who was eager to help me figure out the perfect design for my tattoo. You can tell she really cares about her clients and her work. She created an amazing tattoo and made sure to inform me about aftercare and the healing process. I will definitely be going back for my next tattoo.”

Hannah Macke

“The ladies working this shop are all so talented and professional that I don’t even know where to start! I have gotten 3 tattoos and 1 nose piercing there and while I am usually pretty awkward around new people, I instantly felt at ease there. They genuinely love what they do and convey that in the quality of their work. 100% recommend and will most definitely be a repeat customer!”

Camryn Long

“Absolutely the best tattoo experience I've ever had. I live 2 hours away but this will definitely be my new tattoo shop for everything in the future. I cannot express how amazing they are and I would trust them with any new permanent addition to my body.”

Ginny Dorn

“I love this shop! I came here after having a bad experience at another tattoo shop that shall not be named. I went through months of painful infections before going to Arch Nemesis. The women there are amazing! They explained why the other ring didn't work, provided accurate advice on how to get rid of the infection, and ultimately helped me switch to a nose ring that actually fits. I've been to see them several times since, and each person I've interacted with has been amazing.”

Rainey Horwitz


”First of all the shop is gorgeous and femme owned, a comfortable place for people of all identities to feel relaxed. All in all Kat made me feel completely in control of the experience, and I will certainly be going back to Arch Nemesis when I am in town for all of my tattoo needs.“
