My boyfriend and I are from out of state, but our love for Michigan runs deep. We decided that on our trip here this time, we wanted to make our love permanent with tattoos of the outline of Michigan! We stopped in as two walk-ins on a Sunday night. Thomas got us in super fast and took great care of us. He did an amazing job, and kept us laughing the whole time. We felt so at home, which just makes our love for the state run deeper. Thank you so much!

Rated #1 in metro Detroit area. Who does your ink?

This is my little hidden gem!!! The owner Jeff is highly qualified and does the most amazing work! Friendly staff and quick and affordable prices! Jeff will go above and beyond to make his clients happy. I will be a forever fan and client. You must check this place out!

My daughter and I got our nose pierced together. They are very patient and passionate to your needs. We will be back 😊💖

My husband and I went in for our 1st tat and Thomas greeted us and said hed be honored to give us both our firsts tattoos. We both had something specific in mind. They created the artwork for my husbands piece and fine-tuned it until hubby approved; and it is awesome! For me, I have something in honor of my son. Its perfect and Thomas was so kind as he completed it. I highly recommend this space - and Thomas!

Thomas is EXCELLENT! This is my second piece of art done by him. Mr. Jeff is welcoming and hospitable. Great cozy, clean shop. Highly recommend!!

This place is AMAZING! One of guys walked me through the whole process of getting my nose pierced. It was quick & painless. Plus he was super nice & funny. I definitely recommend them for service!

Mine and my daughters experience here was an awesome one! The people here are friendly and easy to talk to! My new horror tattoo looks amazing so far! I love it! I need to go for another session to finish it in a cpl of weeks but it has exceeded my expectations so far! It looks way better and so much more realistic than the picture I had! I am very happy with it and the prices are so reasonable!😊😍💜

Awesome artists and excellent work. 10/10

I took my daughter to get a piercing. The guys were very helpful and informative. I was more nervous than her and they made it more comfortable. Thanks you

This place is so awesome, went in to get my daughters septum pierced and I got a tattoo at the sane time. So going back to get more done!!!! Yall have a new loyal customer.

Excellent place to get first tattoo or piercings. Friendly, experienced and courteous artists. Knowledgeable and willing to help you create or find a location for your tattoo. Will recommend to anybody and will not go any place else you have a lifetime customer here.

I had the best experience here. Me, my mom and my grandpa got tattoos here and they all turned out amazing. I got my first two tattoos and they couldn’t have turned out better. Jeff, amanda and tom were so welcoming and nice and kept the atmosphere friendly and fun. I will definitely be coming back here for more.

Amazing experience! I was a tattoo virgin and Jeff did a phenomenal job on my foot! Im in love with it and will definitely be back!

More like Scarred for Life -- my best friend and I wanted to come in for two small tattoos. First of all, the appointment was done through text, which is a bit strange and unprofessional. The owner changed the times of the appointment a few times ON the same day, so we had to clear our whole schedule. Once we got there, he neither introduced himself or asked for our names. The place looked dirty and messy with very few places to sit and fill out paperwork. He couldnt print my friends tattoo and started swearing and getting angered by it very easily. He also disliked the one she wanted and told her it wasnt sexy so he tried to get her to change it by what he liked more. He took a couple phone calls while we waited and was either, again being really inappropriate, or rude by saying that he had to get this appointment over with. My friend and I both felt uncomfortable and scared and decided to leave. I wouldnt recommend this place - it may have talent, but the service and cleanliness were way below what they shouldve been. This experience was a nightmare!

Took my sister and nephew in to have a tattoo done guys are very friendly and the quality of work was second to none very happy with the service and will go back to have more work done on me thanks guys

Jeff did my fiances cover up on his arm and it was awesome! Detail was so good, and he was very personable the entire time. Definately will be back.

Jeff and his crew are top notch artist that are cool and professional. Great place to get your ink done and to hang out.

Jeff did an amazing job on my tattoo! Very friendly and a relaxed atmosphere! I will be back for more.

Jamie did my hip piercing and did a awesome job!! its healing very well he was gentle and explained everything to me. Thank you Jamie your awesome

Great artist, professional and clean. First time a tattoo exceeded my expectation. I Look forward to my next visit thank you Jeff

Jeff did a priceless peice dedicated to my deceased grandfather, truly a talented artist and shop, if Jeff is busy dont hesitate to go to Tom because hes skilled as well

I love Jeff and Thomas at Marked For Life. Cant wait for my next one.

Absolutely love the work Jeff McGowan Sr did on my daughter. Awesome work awesome people absolutely top notch!!!

Honestly this was a really great experience for my first tattoo, jeff and the whole staff of marked for life took great care of me, and do plan on coming back in the future.

Definitely very satisfied with the work we will definitely be back in the future for all our tattoo needs i would recommend them to everyone very nice staff and quality work

My wife when to get her rook piercing and nose pierced her nose 😍

Wonderful experience and great customer service me and my boyfriend both went in for tattoos and piercings and love the results

Had an amazing experience here and an amazing atmosphere really love the piece I got!!!

These are the greatest guys ever,make you feel like family, & never a dull moment! Theyre very sanitized & also know their *#it! M4L has done all of my 11 of my tats, 2 piercings, & tats to other members of my family!

My son got his first tattoo here. Amazing staff and the work is top rate.

I was so nervous for my first tattoo! Jeff was awesome and my tattoo turned out AMAZING! I will NEVER go anywhere else!

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU WANT QUALITY. such horrible color and shading my outline is not even visible and my tattoo is scared from using machine like a meat tenderizer, has no concept of quality tattoos and very limited if any artistic ability, too many distractions while there and half ass tattooed areas I didnt even ask them to on a finished piece, only aims to rush you out the door, does not care what your end result is. STRAIGHT HACKS! This place should be closed or only do piercings and I still wouldnt trust that due to lack of cleanliness.

Thomas is the beat; very creative and you won’t be disappointed

Just went in today and got an original piece on my arm. They were nice and even offered to add my sons name that passed away above his hand prints (by the way that is not the tattoo I got).

So happy!! My daughter and i got matching tatoos. Then i decided to get my autism tatoo and so glad i did. It turned out so good made me cry !! Thanks you!!

Love my tattoo Tom does an excellent job

Love this place!! jamy is awesome a tattoo artist & does piercings. amada is so friendly. Cant wait to get a tatto from her.

Amazing, I walked in with an itch and I got an awesome piece for a damn good price 😁😁

I love this tattoo parlor best one Ive ever been to, I love the work ❣️

I went dare in i got a tattoo did from them n my tattoo still looking good thanks n keep up the good work. I will be coming back.

Good service nice prices friendly people

Very friendly and helpful staff, tallented tattoo artist thank you Jeff

Very clean, very informative, very patient.

This was the worst place I’ve ever been to in my life. Waited two hours for a PIERCING, then were given attitude when it was our turn. The girl took AN HOUR to do my friends tongue piercing..... ridiculous. Unprofessional, rude, and two days later, our piercings have fallen out. DO NOT GO HERE!

Great staff! Very welcoming

Horrible got my nipples pierced by the lady there and she pierced my ariolas instead! I do not recommend going here

Worst place ever the piercer they have is very unexperienced and has no idea what she is doing I don’t recommend this place to anybody unless you want to end up in the hospital with an infection I warned you worst place ever ! worst artist ever! worst piercer ever! WORST PLACE EVER!!!

Hilarious time. Recommend Thomas.

Horrible work. Wouldnt even give it one star. Would NOT recommend.

Good view! Nice, cool people

I was a blank canvas then I came here. Now Im the proud owner of a tattoo and a few different piercings.

Very clean, professional, knowledgeable, and honest!

Great work good price

Do not let Jeff tat you. He botched my arm beyond repair.

Such a nice shop I Bought the place!!!

Marked for life has let itself go.

Recently got both lip piercings done here, they are great, and willing to assist if problems come up

Awesome experience, detailed artist!!!

Their artists are terrible

Hellllllllllllllll yea

Loved the experience

They took care of me

Tom and Jerry 😂
