Detroit’s Custom 5150 Ink

Great experience. I took my niece here so that we could both get the colors in our existing tattoos ‘refreshed’. Our original appointments were with Thomas. We were running 45 minutes late but decided to still go since they also take walk-​ins. When we arrived we found out that due to the death of his best friend, Thomas wasn’t in. However, the owner (Nemo) and another artist (Venus) agreed to take us with no hesitation.
The prices were reasonable, the artists were knowledgeable and personable, the shop had a lot going on as far as décor so there was a teeny tiny «freak out» factor but it was also pretty damn cool stuff to look at, plus the building location kinda makes you feel like you’re going into a secret location that few people know about. I don’t know… it added to the vibe in my opinion. And most importantly, it was clean — they use all disposable tools which they opened up in front of us.
In the end we both love our ‘new’ old tattoos, and would HIGHLY recommend this shop!!!
One important note — they only take cash!

Stopped into one of the finest shops in the U.S. The artists are straight up professional.
Austin not only hooked up my Dirty D but also my sister. The shop is clean & carries a Bitch’n vibe. It’s the only shop in Detroit proper.
These gentleman carry their craft with pride. They make sure it’s what you want, their not ones to just slap some ink & take your money.
I’ve been to many shops around the country & this crew delivers.
