I have had my septum pierced two other times by different ppl and the first time the piercing wasnt in the best position, the second time I hurt a whole lot and I ended up taking it out because it wasnt positioned well. This is the last time Ill ever need it pierced, the guy who pierced me this time took his time to find the right placement and for the first time I can flip my piercing up without pain after its healed. He was very friendly and helpful and overall the shop had great vibes! After several bad piercing and tattoo experiences Black mammoth definitely gave me back the confidence and joy I get from body modification!

Got my second piercing yesterday from JJ. Hes done my nostril and septum. Very professional and nice to his clients. He explains what hes going to do and is knowledgeable and will answer questions you have. Would not hesitate to come here again.

Great staff and atmosphere, very clean space. I highly recommend getting your piercings here. JJ has tons of experience, does great work, and is the nicest guy

This was an Amazing place to get some ink therapy. Cody was so nice to work with. I highly recommend this establishment.

I just got my tattoo done by Jacob. It looks amazing, Ive been wanting it for a while and Im so glad I went here. The place was clean, everyone was nice and Im definitely coming back for my future ones as long as Im living in the area

JJ was amazing! Explained everything very nicely, was super gentle as well. Absolutely love my piercings! Plus they have an excellent jewelry selection.

Omg JJ was awesome!! I am already ready to go back to get my next one. So nice and friendly and informative. Yes yes yes!!! ❤i will be returning. Very happy customer!

Received my first piercings for both ears to start gauges, the prices were good and they were extremely friendly all around. Gave good advice for care, and are willing to help in the future should I need it. Overall, great place!

Brandi is amazing! One of the best tattoo artist Ive ever had the privilege of working with. Looking forward to coming back in two weeks to finish.

Excellent staff! Very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this place to anyone. They will make you feel right at home.

Went to Black Mammoth today for a piercing and from the minute we walked in the door, there was such a comfortable vibe. Everyone was kind, helpful and professional and JJ was amazing. A great experience from start to finish!

Robert is an amazing artist, couldnt be happier with my portrait. Highly recommend...

Got my nips pierced and I most say for the 3rd time me getting them done my experience was much better and not as much pain. JJ was polite, professional and genuine. He knew his stuff. Overall my experience from booking my appointment and the day of my appointment was smooth

Staff was super friendly! Love my piercing and the color options! Definitely recommend and will come again!

I love Black Mammoth! They have done all of my piercings and it is always efficient, clean, and really pretty. My belly button piercing was straight and the jewelry is amazing. 10/10 love the energy and will go again.

I saw JJ for a piercing and was thrilled with the results. Very quick, limited pain, extremely professional and answers all of your questions. Whether you are wanting something mainstream or more personal, definitely go to Black Mammoth.

Waaaaaay over priced, clearly did not want the job

Went in when they were still in their old building, had my first dum and drunk tattoo fixed, Cody was amazing really asked me questions of my vision and what i wanted, and he nailed it, really happy with the end product!

JJ was awesome. He got me laughing to distract me, it was my first peircing. It was quick easy affordable and Im happier than I expected with the results

JJ is very good at his job. Would definitely go to him for all my piercing needs

I just got a septum piercing there yesterday and the man who did mine was amazing! He told me exactly what he was going to do and he did it quick it didn’t hurt at all. I spent all my money on that piercing lol otherwise I would’ve left a tip!

Made two birthday piercing appointments, paid my deposit. I understand as family things come up but I drove over an hour away not knowing our appointments had been canceled. Reception lady insisted she left a message. Weve had an answering machine 15 years never lost one message. Never had the number on our caller ID either. Was home literally all day the day she claimed to left said message. If you forgot to notify customers at least own it. Thanks for the last minute notice! So disappointed.Had the best experience with your establishment until today.Updated: Daughters rescheduled their appointments as JJ is one of the best piercer around. No surprise cancelation this time without notification. Very pleasant gentleman. I see now why my Daughters insisted on seeing him. Would definitely go back because of him. Updated my review to 4 stars only because of his kind, professional experience. Still think front staff may need to double check numbers and whom they did or didnt call for any future cancelation notifications.

LITERALLY THE BEST, felt extremely comfortable

I got my nose piercing done by JJ on Wednesday. I was super nervous (I’m not sure if he could tell) but he was very informative, kind, and funny about everything that was going on. He gave lots of good information afterwards. Not only that, but the piercing was perfect. Yeah, it hurt, but it was quick and the piercing was put in the perfect place. Definitely will go back here again if I get another piercing!!

I wouldn’t go any where else for a piercing. JJ is the best! He is so knowledgeable and funny.The tattoo I got from Robert is by far the best tattoo I have!I would drive 2 hours easy to come here.

Took my daughter for her belly button piercing for her birthday and JJ is awesome only one we go to for piercings.

Got work done by Robert. He did an absolutely amazing job. Hands down the best shop in the area. Everyone there was friendly and cheerful, great vibes and beautiful art. Definetly going back for the rest of my sleeve!

JJ is the best piercer I have ever been to! Super clean and professional and took the time to explain everything to me.

I got my first tattoo from Cody and it was a five star experience.

JJ IS AWESOME!!!

Very clean and friendly staff. Robert is GREAT!! Honestly I can’t say enough good things about him. He recently finished a tattoo for me that was very personal. He took a idea and brought it to life with his talent. I admire it each day, and I can’t wait to get started on my sleeve in just a few short weeks. If your looking for new ink... I highly recommend these guys.

I had work done by Cody and it was a fantastic experience. I happened to walk in when he had an opening, showed him an idea for a piece that I wanted and within 30 minutes he drew up exactly what I had envisioned. The price was very fair for the work I received and Cody was upfront and professional through the whole process. I look forward to returning in the future. The shop itself has a cool atmosphere and everyone was very welcoming and laid back. I highly recommend Black Mammoth Tattoo!

Ive gotten two tattoos here and a piercing, my first tattoo and my second to last (so far) and they were done by different artists who both did an absolutely amazing job. My first one Robert Black did, he not only made me feel super comfortable but relaxed the entire time, and it couldnt have turned out more beautiful. He took my design and just made it that much more amazing with his art work, and I couldnt have asked for a better artist for my first. Brandi Bruce did my second tattoo and I had the same treatment, with such a nice, relaxing, and comfortable environment. She even squeezed me in and got me in super fast, and again, did such an amazing job with the design and placement. And last with the piercing, JJ is super cool, just as nice as the rest, and did a super job with the placement. When I had questions he was always super grateful to answer, even months after the fact. Black mammoth is a wonderful place, its always very clean and the people are so wonderful and genuine! I will always come back here, its the place to go for good artist, both by their art and their heart.

I trust Black Mammoth with my life. Figuratively.Hands down the best shop around, it’s worth the travel for those not in the area. I’ve always went to Cody for my work, but all the artists are bursting with talent! Clean facility, with friendly artists and staff, I’ve never been disappointed. What more can you ask for.

Brandi did my tattoo for my Grandma. Copied her signature PERFECTLY and did an amazing water color hummingbird. I look at it every single day and love it more and more every single day. Black Mammoth is the place to go for tattoos and piercings. The staff is amazing and the place itself is gorgeous and clean. Definitely recommend them 👍

One of the best tattoo shops in Kansas! Highly recommend! Great costumer service and amazing artwork. I traveled 8 hours for a tattoo by Cody and it was all worth it. All the artist there have been blessed with magical hands! Can’t wait to continue to do business there! If I could give them 10 stars I would. And Jake if you’re reading this I love you!

Cody is AMAZING. The time he took to listen to my needs and what I was looking for when I got my tattoo for my son was absolutely exceptional. The piece was extremely personal for me and he really took that and ran with it. The entire staff is beyond expectations and they really go out of their way to make getting anything done as comfortable as possible. 15/10 would recommend

JJ was great.

I had a mother bear/baby bear tattoo completed on my calve by Robert! It really was the best experience. Robert is not heavy handed at all.. I almost napped to through the whole visit! JJ also did my septum! They are both great! I would highly recommend this place!

I got my first tattoo here! Robert was amazing! He answered all of my questions, shared awesome stories and my tattoo is better than I imagined! His line work is amazing and very clean! Thank you, Robert! I will see you again sooner than later!Katie

I had a wonderful experience the piercer was wonderful and light spirited. He joked with me and made the whole experience

I have been going to Black Mammoth for years. I actually used to go to the previous shop where these guys worked. Refused to go anywhere else until this shop opened. JJ is the best piercer Ive had. Hes very thorough in explaining aftercare, and isnt afraid to tell you if a piercing wont work with your body. Cody and Robert are amazing artists with tons of experience in Manhattan. Very professional and make you feel quite comfortable. I would never recommend anyone else.

I love this place! It is super clean and feels so homey when you walk in. I have been multiple times to see JJ for piercings. He is a super laid back and fun guy! I tell everyone to go see him for all of their piercing needs because he is so quick and smooth during the piercing. You hardly feel a thing!!

I’ve been going here for about a year now and just finished my arm sleeve with Brandi Bruce. Not only is everyone professional, they’re personal and they show interest. It goes beyond the art. They care about what you have to say, they learn you by name and what you’re into, and they all have amazing ideas. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else within 1000 miles. Great shop, great environment, awesome music.

Jj is the best professional piercer I’ve ever been to. He’s personal and helps you feel at ease. The front desk staff is welcoming and very nice. I’ll only be going to black mammoth for my piercings and when I go to get a tattoo I’ll come here as well.

I have two tattoos so far both done by Robert, and I can honestly say they are the best I have on my body. The overall experience from setting up a consultation to getting ink on my skin have been wonderful. The staff is very knowledgeable and respectful, I highly recommend them to anyone interested in getting quality art done on their body. I will continue to go to Black Mammoth for my tattoos and recommend anyone to do the same.

This place is GREAT. I got a walk in tattoo from Robert and he worked with me to get something I loved but was also feasible and it turned out wonderful!! This is also my go to piercing place because JJ is amazing and not only gets you awesome piercings and jewelry but also educated you about the whole process as he does it.

Outstanding staff and skilled friendly artists. Hands down the best tattoo shop around.If you plan on getting a tattoo you need to check these guys out. Not only will you get a killer tattoo youll walk out with an award winning master piece that will stand the test of time. Dont let some hack with a rusty needle tattoo you, get it done right the first time and go to Black Mammoth Tattoo.

Black Mammoth Tattoo & Piercing is by far my favorite place to get tattoos and piercings. Robert did a large piece on my leg for me and the art itself is amazing, but my time in the shot was great as well. Its neat and clean and the whole team makes you feel welcomed. One of the few places I will always recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo in MHK! Great team and awesome talent!

I have had the best tattooing experience at Black Mammoth. He has moved to another shop, but when Adrian was here, he redid the tattoo I got for my autistic siblings a few years ago and made it more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, he also added in details I hadnt even thought about. More recently, I went in to get a tattoo from Brandi that meant a lot to me. It was just a simple quote but I got it in a relatively painful area, but she was very patient and precise. She was also extremely personable, we had great conversation before and after my tattoo. I left with absolutely stellar linework, and a new favorite artist. Everyone who has asked who I recommend for tattoos has been directed here. The atmosphere of the shop itself is calm and welcoming, I wish I could rank it higher than 5 stars!

I have only gotten one tattoo from here so far but I am definitely coming back! Very professional and helpful! Jacob did my tattoo & I love it so much but I have friends who have gotten tattoos from Brandi and she does very amazing work! Highly recommend them!

I have been tattooed by both Robert and Cody and ended up with 2 of the most AMAZING tattoos ever!! Both guys are remarkable artists and can turn your ideas into awesome works of art. Get yourself to Poyntz Ave, you wont be sorry!

All the artists have good work, from what Ive seen, but Robert Black is hands-down the best tattoo artist around! Hes done most of my tattoos. Id trust him to tattoo anything! The shop is clean and the staff is friendly. JJ is super fun, professional, and helpful. I always recommend Black Mammoth to anyone looking for tattoos or piercings. 🖤🐘

Super friendly staff. Brandi is great artist and works quickly. By far the best parlor in Manhattan in terms of quality of work. Wouldn’t spend my money anywhere else

This shop is so clean, staff are friendly and professional. Totally recommend

I love it here at Black Mammoth this is the only place I trust to get my tattoos in Manhattan. Every thing is so clean, they are very nice and you can tell how much they care about even the smallest of tattoos. Robert is definitely my favorite but they are all so nice and talented.

JJ pierced my nose and it was a fabulous experience! I’ve seen other piercers but none of them seemed as patient as he was (I was nervous and I definitely talk a lot when I’m nervous). He was recommended by a friend and now I recommend him to anyone who says they want a new piercing! I will definitely be back for more

Amazing staff and shop. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, it’s like coming home every time. I love telling people who does my tattoos every time I’m asked. Robert is an incredible artist who I always recommend.

I’ve had both Robert and Brandi do work on me and they are both phenomenal!! The vibes and everything in there are great as well. Very nice staff and very clean set up! DEFINITELY recommend!

Robert did my lion tattoo and did absolutely amazing. He also did my sister, grandfather, and uncles lion tattoos. Every one of us were so pleased with his work. It was my first tattoo and it is going to be hard for me to go anywhere else because of how great of an experience I had at Black Mammoth. Couldnt have asked for a better first tattoo experience.

Ive had Robert as an artist and he met my expectations! Staff is friendly and willing to help bring your ideas to your skin! From what I hear, their piercer (JJ I think) is great as well. Would highly recommend this parlor. Might have to book in advance since theyre that good. Worth it. 🤘🤘

Brandi worked with me on my first sleeve ever. I ended up working with Brandi when she moved to black mammoth and I have never regretted it. I walked in with the idea for a voodoo witch doctor tattoo because of an inspiring visit to New Orleans and she also has a passion for the magical old city so she had this excitement about it that made the experience very memorable. I’ve gone back to her for every tattoo since and sent so many friends. I will forever recommend Black Mammoth and Brandi Bruce.

Had a shoulder piece done by Brandy a few months ago and she nailed it! Love the piece still and am planning on getting more pieces done here. Brandy is an amazing tattoo artist and the rest of Black Mammoths staff are just as awesome. Black Mammoth had by far been the best experience Ive had with everything, from quoting all the way to giving recommendations for aftercare.

I’ve been getting tattooed by Robert since I was 18. I’m now 26 and I won’t go to anybody else. He is always very professional and his needle work is very clean. Black Mammoth is a great shop for all of your tattooing and piercing needs. Great staff, great prices, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Got my industrial bear put in July of 2017. Super awesome piercer (JJ), he was a good conversationalist and made me feel comfortable. I ended up needing a long bar due to some problems on my end, went in and he took care of it for me super quickly with no additional charges. Definitely recommend this place! :)

Black mammoth is hands down the BEST tattoo and piercing shop around. The facility is clean, stylish, and comfortable and on top of that the people that work there are professional and excel at their craft. Ive had two pieces done through black mammoth (roughly 20 hours collectively) and would never go anywhere else.

Hands-down the best tattoo shop not only in Kansas but my opinion the United States. Robert and Cody unbelievable specially if you knew Cody’s history and background of tattooing and how he got into it awesome story to hear if you’re ever in there have them tell your truly incredible in my opinion I would rather wait five years to get a tattoo there then walking to any shop anywhere and get one today put me on the waiting list I’ll wait before I ever get another tattoo anywhere else

Black Mammoth Tattoo is my new favorite piercing shop! Ive wanted my nipples pierced for 6 years, but was so scared of how badly I thought it would hurt. JJ made me feel so comfortable and just kept talking to me through the whole process. Ive never been to a piercer who would just talk my ear off and make me feel so comfortable and keep my mind off of what was gonna happen. The process itself was so quick and easy and JJ made it the least painful experience. I love JJ and will be back for piercings to come!

Worked with Brandi Bruce on a cover up tattoo. She was great the whole time she tatted my arm. It was cool because she was new to black mammoth and i was her first KS cover up/ KS free hand.10/10 recommend her to everyone.

I’ve had Brandi do all my work. Couldn’t be any happier with the results! Always friendly and clean. Best place to get a tattoo or piercing! Highly recommend!!

Everyone at Black Mammoth is AMAZING and incredibly talented. I’ve had 5 piercings done by JJ who is so kind and professional and will answer any questions at any time and Brandi did my entire sleeve and I plan on having much more work done in the future by her! This shop is so clean and welcoming and I would recommend everyone go here!

Super chill place the atmosphere is very Brandi Bruce did some amazing black and white work for me that (with proper care) has not faded one bit! Also, was willing to hold engaging conversation but didnt push talking unless you showed you would like to converse. 10/10 trust her and hope she keeps tattooing. Will definately come back.

Robert has done 2 of my tattoos. One was a new piece that was 2 paw prints one of each of my dogs. He made it look very authentic as if each dog put their paw on me. The second piece was redoing an existing piece and adding another flower to it. Robert made it look like this was done all at once. I will always go back to Black Mammoth! Out of the 3 tattoo shops I have been to this is the only one I will go back to! LOVE Robert at Black Mammoth! 😁

Staff is always professional and the work is amazing. I go to Robert for my work and I absolutely love it. Cody and Brandi are top notch too. Best tattoo shop in the Midwest

Had amazing pieces of tattoo art in their books but once there they didnt give us the time of day. Was simply told that the piece wouldnt look good and that they dont do tattoos like that anymore because everyone has them now. Ended up at syndicate down the street where the staff was much friendlier, patient, and much more helpful.

I had Robert work on an existing tattoo of mine just last week. He is AMAZING at what he does. We turned my tattoo into a half sleeve and there is a night & day difference between how it looked when I walked in and what it looks like now. I seriously can’t recommend Robert enough!

By far my best experience with a piercer. I felt relaxed, at ease and eager to work with JJ. While I bled like stuck pig due to the placement of my piercing, I have no pain, no swelling and very little bleeding after 12 hours. I see this healing great and the after care offered is something I will take him up on. Highly, highly recommend Black Mammoth for your piercing needs.

I’m so happy with Cody’s work! I loved talking with him. Great place! Thank you so much. 🤗

Black Mammoth is by far the best in town! Huge difference in how the customer is treated from first visit to finished work. Big change from the other shops we have visited in town. Very nice people who care about what you want. Adrian had done several pieces for my husband and after seeing his great work I decided it’s time for some more ink and a touch up on previous work. My new ink is exceptional and the experience was fantastic. I will return for more! Go see them, you will not be disappointed.

Ive gotten 3 pieces completed by Robert Black. I absolutely LOVE his work. Very professional place, very clean, and a very comfortable atmosphere. The only place around that I would ever go to for my tattoo needs.

They wanted $260 for two hours worth of work. For a tattoo of our daughters name its only 1 in tall 2 in long. Mine took maybe 45 mins and $80 to be done. What a joke.

Clean, professional, knowledgeable and very talented! I had a cover up done by Jake and I could not be happier. He listened to what I wanted and he added his own artistic touch. Thank you all so very much!

I have had quite the adventure with Brandi over the past year! I’ve always had the dream of getting a Star Wars sleeve of my favorite characters and Brandi has made my dream a reality. Not only is my sleeve amazing, but each session I have had with them has been amazing. They are all chill, and they are all great to have conversations with. I have referred my friends, family, and coworkers here. I will not go anywhere else!

We went to Cody for siblings tattoos. Our brother passed away and so my 2 sisters and I wanted to get something together. Cody was great! Took his time with each of us, edited our design until it was perfect for us all, clean, respectful...Id go back in a heartbeat!

In June of 2019 I got a forearm piece done by Robert! He was super easy to talk to and did an amazing job! I couldn’t be anymore pleased with how smoothly the whole process went.

I went on a whim a few weeks ago when I saw Jake was doing walk ins. He was perfect and professional. He gave me my favorite tattoo I have on my body, a pizza slice. I’ll always direct people towards Black Mammoth.

I had the best experience at this shop! I was really nervous about getting pierced, but the staff made me feel a lot better by telling me what to expect and how to take care of my piercing. The best part was the man doing my piercing made me laugh and the rest was a breeze! I highly recommend you guys go to this shop!

I have two tattoos done my Cody and I am looking forward to continuing to work with him. The shop itself is always clean and professional and will be honest if your idea is a good fit for the artists. Cody did a tattoo after my grandpa passed and his custom drawing was more than I could have imagined. He took the idea of a lantern (which I knew was a random thing to want on me forever) and turned it into a tattoo I now get stopped on the street to talk about.Plus, he told me he liked the idea and was excited to do it which made the experience feel so much more special for a memorial tattoo. While I loved his original design, I know he would have happily adjusted it and listened to my thoughts if I had concerns. Thanks for everything you do and keep blasting sick tats.

Absolutely love it here!! Robert was amazing and it’s by far my favorite tattoo that I have! He’s awesome and the girl at the front was super nice and helpful! Definitely recommend!!

Ive been in the shop a few different times. Whether Im getting work done or just buying jewelry, the staff has always been prompt, friendly, and helpful. The shop is full of really great and talented artists.

I had a floral memorial tattoo done by Cody Bader about a year ago. His idea was beyond what I had pictured in my head. It turned out better than I dreamed. I love the style of it and host story of how he became a tattoo artist. He’s very professional and does phenomenal work. I would very highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get art on their body for life.

Robert did my tattoo and it was a wonderful experience. Took the idea I showed him and personalized it. I would definitely go back for another one.

JJ is amazing with piercings. Ive have 5 done by him. I will always get my piercings done with JJ. He is very reassuring and answers literally any question you have. He is very gentle also, and talks to you through every step of the process. He genuinely cares about his clients. Pricing is great! Ill keep coming back!

Brandi is awesome. I just wanted a small tattoo and she knocked it out really quick! I have seen other work by her and they are all amazing.

I went in for a nose piercing with JJ. I was extremely nervous and he made the whole experience comfortable. He explained things in detail and made sure I knew to come back or get a hold of him if I had any problems or questions. He was quick and his station was clean and neat.

Robert is absolutely amazing!!! I get stopped on a daily and get asked where I got my work done and Im more than happy to tell them black mammoth in Manhattan ks so if youre looking to get some ink or even a piercing this is the spot. Its very clean and everyone is very professional.

Very nice everybody is very friendly and helpful I been there 3 times and my tattoos are all beautiful.... My tattoo artist what I hardly recommend is Brandi she is a wonderful ....the shop is very clean....

My wife got a tattoo from Robert. Guy is amazing and extremely talented. All of the artist were very nice and the desk staff were polite and very friendly. All around one of the best places Ive ever been in and I look forward to going back and getting some work done. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get some work done. Very clean, beyond amazing people! THIS IS THE PLACE!

Great shop good artist very professional definitely recommend one of the best shops in Manhattan and Junction City by far better then Patriot in JC

Very clean & professional. Worked with both Brandi & JJ - I have absolutely no complaints! I intend to return for additional tattoos & piercings in the future. As a matter of fact I have no intention of going anywhere else!
