I had an amazing experience at Villains! The shop has a dope vibe — super clean, professional, and welcoming from the second you walk in. You can tell the whole team cares about quality and client comfort.Mikey was my artist, and I can’t say enough good things about him. He really took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life with serious skill. The design came out even better than I imagined — clean lines, solid shading, and insane attention to detail. You can tell he’s passionate about his craft.The whole process was smooth, and Mikey made sure I was comfortable and informed the entire time. Hygiene and cleanliness were clearly a priority, which gave me total peace of mind.If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, Villains Art Collective is the spot — and Mikey is the one to see. I’ll definitely be back for more work! Less

Pulled up to my tattoo appointment with Mager and the vibe was on point from the jump. Soon as I walked in, the energy was chill but creative—music bumpin’, artists focused, and the smell of ink in the air. You could feel the passion in the room, like every piece being worked on had a story behind it.My artist was locked in, professional, precise, and easy to vibe with. We chopped it up about the design, and they brought it to life better than I imagined. The needle hit different when you’re surrounded by good energy and people who love the craft. Conversations, laughs, and raw talent everywhere—it wasn’t just a tattoo session, it was an experience.By the time I walked out, I didn’t just leave with fresh ink—I left with a memory. Definitely one for the books Less

My guy Retroe was awesome. Very friendly and professional and did exactly what I wanted. Smooth process. Appreciate your time and skills. Will be back for more in the future Less

I Got my “town” movie tattoo done with Mager he’s very cooperative and understanding when it came down to the design he didn’t hesitate to add more to my design when I told him what I wanted he got it done to how I imagine it to come out. He’s a Very cool melo guy I highly recommend anyone to go to him especially the people that compliments his work that’s on my arm. The work isn’t fully finished I have to go back in a week/two to finish one more money roll on my wrist but the work speaks for itself 💯 Less

Came here specifically for Mikey and he did not disappoint. I had a vision that he helped bring to life and his art work came out even better than I expected. The environment is awesome and very laid back. I’ll definitely be coming back to Mikey for all my artwork from now on.Thanks again! Less

Great experience overall with retroe. He knocked out the design quick and pain free shots went good as well . Felt like i was in and out. Definitely recommend! Less

Honestly the best artist I’ve had so far. Mikey was insanely good, super effect, and pretty quick. I I had a pretty good sized tattoo, at least in my opinion, and he completed it in a faster time than ones I’ve had before. I’ll definitely be going back for more Less

Such a nice place and the hospitality was amazing I definitely recommend if you want a tattoo I’ll definitely be back to finish my sleeve with RETROEWON Less

Magger gave me a dope tattoo and was super friendly. A great artist worth every dime. The tattoo was scheduled for 6-8 hours and he finished in about 5. He was so worth it I scheduled another tattoo to complete my sleeve the next day. Highly recommend him to anyone. Super happy with his service's. Less

For being my first tattoo, I loved it. And yes it was my first tat in my hand haha. Shot out to Mager he did a good job super smooth with his work. I’m for sure going again great work man love it. Thanks Less

If your looking for “The place”, to get existing, New Tattoos please look no Further than Villians Tattoo. They are by far going to be changing the game.

Absolutely amazing work! Mager was one artist that I chose for my arm sleeve. He nailed it! I was super satisfied with his work and I am definitely going back to him for my other arm! Highly recommend! Less

Really happy with the art work Retroe did on me. I've only shown my arm to one person and she already booked her session with him. I felt bad because I booked 3 days in a row with retroe, I ended up getting sick the day before my first session. I coughed all over that poor guy . He would give me little breaks , sorry brother. This guy is awesome and his work speaks for itself. Can't wait to go back for more work. Less

Great experience getting my first tattoo done here. Mikey did a great job putting together my ideas into a comprehensive piece of art. Very professional and personable. Would definitely come back again as well as recommend to others! Photo is just 2nd day so not completely healed. Less

Best experience coming here. Good energy in the studio. I got exactly what I wanted and went beyond my expectations. Everyone was having a good time on my visit. I appreciate the hospitality. It felt like I was at one of my friends house, hanging out. Not to mention they ordered food. And it was delicious. I have another session in March and cannot wait. Thanks again Mager. You my friend have some skill. Good looking out bro. I recommend always coming here. My friends recommended me and I am glad they did. Less

I would highly recommend Villain’s to anyone looking for a quality tattoo. Amazing artists over there that’ll work with you and will help you bring your vision to reality. I got a full sleeve done with Retroewon and his attention to every little detail and his cleanliness is top tier. Everything from the booking process down to the touch up is top notch, and extremely professional. Less

Where can I even start?! After getting tattooed at Villains Tattoo Collective I would definitely say that this is the spot to go if you’re looking for a spectacular tattoo. Everyone is very welcoming and very professional at what they do. I just got my first ever tattoo with Retroe and he honestly exceeded all my expectations and did a surreal job. I would hands down recommend this spot to anyone who’s looking for a good artist especially getting your work done with Retroe. Less

Mager, your work and professionalism is truly appreciated. You took your time and detailed my sons remembrance tattoo. When looking for a tattoo artist, I was looking for someone with experience. This tattoo is extra special to me and I love it!!! I can say I found what I was looking for. I will definitely be coming back to you as well as recommending Villains Tattoo Collective studio. The whole process was simple and smooth. The price was reasonable as well. Jane was the first person I talked to before coming to the studio. Her customer service is in part the reason why I decided for Villains tattoo Collective. Thank you, kindly and see you soon Less

Working with Mager was an amazing experience. I wanted a very specific design done for my sleeve and he drastically over exceeded my expectations. I will continue to work with Mager and sending people his way. Amazing experience from start to finish Less

I have been following Retroe’s work on instagram for a while, specifically highlighting his talent with Rose’s. Scheduled with his assistant who was very helpful and responsive. Appointments were made through the assistant as well and deposits. Spent about 6 hours for my session of a rose and rosary combo. Couldn’t have asked it to be any better with my ideas and placements and Retroe’s ideas and experience finishing it off. Once my next idea comes, I’d certainly look to schedule with Retroe again!! Less

Everything was absolutely perfect. Mager was extremely helpful and mindful and his work was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have asked for (2) better sessions! Less

RETROE is a really amazing artist that brought my idea to life. Amazed the the way my tattoo came out, the detail and shading is just incredible work. Will be coming back for more ink for sure. 🔥 Less

My experience at villains tattoos was epic me and Mickey just clicked we got all the ideas about the piece in order and off we went the rest is history Less

Recently got my 4th tattoo from Mikey and i am more than pleased with his work. Not only did he take the time to improve the ideas i had and find a better placement for each tattoo but he put a crazy amount of work in the attention to detail of each tattoo. Definitely will be getting the remainder of my tattoos with him! Less

Great experience. When i first got to the shop i had a different design in my head but then Retroe found something that compliments my arm and looks a lot smoother. After the first session i was amazed on how it was coming out detail shading in the right places. Retroe even talked about some crazy ass stories he had, cool guy. I went for the second session pumped to see the finish product Retroe did not disappoint the piece came out great. Overall great time and would go back later on to get another tattoo. Less

Very happy with my tattoo. Tattoo artist Mager, did a great job in my forearm piece! Everyone that has seen my tattoo compliments the detail that was put in! I 10000% recommend to anyone looking for a quality tattoo! Less

I reached out to Mikey with a tattoo that got completely flopped, in hopes he could help. He not only corrected the work done, but added so much beauty to it. I now love it, and show it off constantly. I cannot stress enough how skilled this man is! Not just artistically, but his skill with tattoo needles is unmatched. The pain level during the tattoo and healing process was impressively low. I will be returning for more! Less

Went with Mikey to get my first tattoo. He made me feel comfortable right from the beginning. I wanted my first tattoo to be Kobe Bryant logo. My experience with Mikey was GREAT. I will definitely be going back with him to get a portrait of my daughter. I highly recommend him Less

I recently got an Aztec tattoo from Mikey, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the result! I came in with a rough idea of what I wanted but wasn’t sure exactly how it should look. Mikey took the time to understand my vision and created an amazing custom design that exceeded my expectations. Communication was smooth and easy; scheduling was a breeze. Jane was very responsive throughout the whole process. Now that I'm in the healing stage, I can see the quality of Mikey’s work even more—it’s healing perfectly and looks incredible! Highly recommend Villains tattoo collective! Less

That shop was amazing and mager is a true professional. Loved the work I got from him that day can’t wait to get more. I meet other people there who were waiting on there other artists. That place is just such a friendly vibe. I loved the tv’s mounted on the wall, I got to watch a couple of breaking bad episodes while getting tattooed. Less

Exceeded my expectations. I get so many compliments and asked who my tattoo artist was. Mikey went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable. This was my first tattoo and walked me through process. I had my input on what I wanted and he gave his expert advice without taking over the project. Going back to him for next tattoo for sure. Less

I was looking for a tattoo artist and I came across Mikey great guy I told him exactly what I wanted and he 100% delivered great experience I’ve already booked my next appointment with him his assistant Jane was great also made everything super easy I highly recommend him Less

Mikey and Jane at Villains Tattoo Collective were amazing! Jane provided excellent customer service when it came to the consult/booking process. She answered all my questions promptly and found and an appointment times that worked with my schedule.

He’s very professional, patient, and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable during the whole process. I’m looking forward to my next session. I highly recommend Mikey and Villains Tattoo for your next piece. Less

It was my first tattoo and it went great very smooth Mager tattooed my inner forearm and got the whole thing done in a single sesssion with little breaks and low pain. My tattoo is super nice and very realistic, I’d come back for the rest of my sleeve Less

I had an amazing experience with Mikey at the tattoo shop! He definitely is a very talented and professional artist who prioritizes his clients' needs and concerns. The fact that he was attentive, diligent, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process is fantastic. And, of course, the end result is that I love MY new tattoo! I'm glad that ad popped up on my timeline and led me to such a positive experience. I’m absolutely thrilled with my new ink! "I'm thoroughly impressed and will definitely return for more work. I highly recommend Mikey and the shop to anyone seeking a talented and professional tattoo artist." Less

First and for most I want to thank Mager for not only his empeccable art work but for also helping me cover up some regretful tattoos I had done in the past.He is masterful in his craft and gives the best tattoo experience overall.Thank you again “MAGER” you are the best!! Less

I mean they don’t need a good review just look at their work, and personality wise just get to know Mikey and if you don’t click, I hate to break it to you buddy it’s a you problem. Great! Artist and even a better person. Thx! Mikey see you soon Less

Got a design and tattoo from Retroe. Professional setting and professional service. This was my second session and plan to continue coming here. Overall a great experience! Less

Been going to Mager for years now. Always does amazing work which is why I keep coming back. He's done about 75-80% of my left sleeve and he will be doing 100% of my right sleeve. I will be coming back for sure. Saw Mikey and Retroewon doing their pieces on different clients..... phenomenal work as well. Everyone was super friendly and professional. Receptionist and artists paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend these tattoo artists and shop! 🙌🏼 Less

Not only is Mager INSANELY talented, he’s a nice guy, quickly understands the concepts I threw at him and makes sure you’re happy with his art. Worth flying in from Chicago for sure . He did a full coverup of my leg piece that not many would take on. Im so happy with it compared to what it was. Less

I had two appointments with Mager for my inner and outer forearm. And to say the least, Mager exceeded my expectations. He took in consideration my design idea and worked around it with his own personal touch. I enjoyed my time in his tattoo studio as Mager works fast and efficient. I left Mager’s tattoo studio happy and definitely plan to make another appointment for my future tattoos. 10/10 Less

I have gotten a good number of tattoos, but Mikey is by far the best artist that I have ever gotten a tattoo from. The amount of precision, detail, and care that he puts into my tattoos is second to none. The best part about Mikey is that he not only executes the type of tattoo that I want, but he makes it infinitely better. He knows what looks aesthetically pleasing and how to bring ideas into fruition. He patiently printed different stencils for one of my tattoo designs to make sure that I was going to be satisfied with the finished product, and he let me take my time deciding which version of the tattoo I wanted. Mikey is by far the best tattoo artist that I've ever met, and I truly mean that. I am seriously so thankful for his dedication to his craft, his patience with my decisions, and his creative suggestions on how to make the tattoos look the best. The two tattoos that I have gotten from him are by far my favorites, and I'm truly hoping to exclusively go to him for every tattoo I get in the future. Less

So I’ve been going to Mikey for a couple years now. It all started with one tattoo and it turned out to him doing my entire sleeve into my chest. Mikey is a cool dude man. He’s super chill and someone you can vibe with while getting tattooed. His shop is super nice and he makes sure that you are comfortable at all times. Over all Mikey is a solid dude. Now his work. His work I believe speaks for its self. His attention to detail is absolutely amazing. I’ve got some super detailed and challenging pieces that he knocked out the park. His creative ability is also amazing. After my first tattoo I trusted him completely and let him get creative/put his touch and style into the design. We’ve completed one entire side and will definitely, without a doubt, be going back to do the other side. If you are looking for a great artist then look no further. Less

Mikey is the man! All of the work he’s done on me has turned out well above my expectations. I’ve sat in his chair for 35+ hours and enjoyed all of them. I’ve come to him with small ideas and he’s created something amazing each time. I’m on my 3rd session with him on my sleeve currently and I’ll definitely be back for more after it’s done! If you’re looking for black and grey, this is your guy! Less
