Go Jeff! Walked in with an idea, he drew it up in a timely fashion! Loved the experience.
Rev was phenomenal! He was able to do TWO large pieces on both me and my husband. Everyone in the shop was friendly and shop was very clean.
I got two tattoos, one from Mark and the other from Lauren. And I absolutely recommend them both! Mark worked with me to help design the lotus flower tattoo I got on my neck. He honestly exceeded my expectations for how I wanted it to look. The tattoo wasn’t painful at all, and it has been healing very, very nicely.…
Mark did a great job on my new tattoo, as well as touching up a couple of my older ones. He also pierced my daughter’s helix and did great with her. He was super friendly, and the whole experience was laid-back and comfortable. Great place to go! I definitely recommend them!
Awesome shop, easy walk in tattoo!!! Absolutely beautiful script work done. Definitely recommend!!!
I knew the second I arrived that this was where I was supposed to land for the idea I had for my next tattoo. Rev took my idea and personalized it even better than I had envisioned it!

The quality of the work was definitely worth the money. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, and I'll definitely be coming back for more ink. Highly recommend!
Went in with 3 other girls. All here on a girls trip, all wanted tattoos. Each something different. Not only did we all get great tattoos, we had lots of great laughs and did not seem like we were there as long as we were. All the employees were super friendly, laid back and fun. Jeff did my tat and knocked it out…
I went in on vacation and got great service and good work. People were friendly with my son and I. Very happy.
Very nice people. Great tattoo. Great price.
Lauren did a fantastic job on our 5 matching vacation tattoos! The whole crew was friendly, kind, helpful and welcoming.
Walked in to the shop towards the end of the evening and got a wonderful tattoo with delightful conversations! Would come back next time I am in town. PS just don't ever ask for a purple tattoo. ;)

He’s super relaxed, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience comfortable from start to finish. He also worked with my budget while still making sure…
Called asking if they were still taking walk ins because it was almost 9:30pm. When I got there Rev talked to me about the design and what I wanted in the memorial tattoo for my aunt. He drew it up and we were done by 11:10. He was fun to talk to and made sure I was okay the entire time. Definitely a 10/10…

I had an awesome experience at House of Ink and honestly can’t see myself going anywhere else now. Everyone there was super friendly from the second we walked in.

My husband and I came in to see about getting estimates for tattoos and Jeff was amazing to work with. We showed him what we wanted, he drew up the stencils, and made sure we liked them and the placement. This was my very first tattoo and it was a great experience!
On a vacation to Branson, my wife and I decided to get tattoos to commemorate the trip. We walked in with simple ideas and no appointment, and Rev took care of us right away. He transformed those ideas into great tattoos, adding details and shading that we were not expecting but were extremely happy with. Rev was…
Mark did an amazing job on my tattoo!! He was very knowledgeable and helped me make decisions that were the best for the design as it was my first tattoo. Would absolutely recommend Mark and House of Ink Tattoo!
My husband and I walked in on our last day of vacation! Lauren did my husband's tattoo and nailed it (a tattoo of a picture his daughter drew). Pyro did an amazing butterfly on my arm! Details and lines were done amazingly! Highly recommend, if we are back in Branson we will definitely have them do more work!
My wife and I just got a couple pieces done here, Mark and Jeff were awesome. I got some small line work and color on my shoulde and she got a straw(bear)y on her forearm.

Very nice and clean. The guys are very personable, talented and knowledgeable. Will definitely go back!
I came to Branson for a girls trip including a tattoo I had been wanting. I had the idea in my head since becoming an RN. Rev was amazing. He vibed so well with me. He took my vision and RAN with it.

Mark was phenomenal. This was my first tattoo and I will definitely be back.
This was my 1st tattoo at 62. For the last 3 or 4 yrs, I have considered 1 but couldn't decide. I saw a tat of a Shepherd slingshot and liked it! I show it to Rev and he made it so much better! So so glad Rev did my tattoo! Go to House of Ink in Branson and ask for Rev!
I had the pleasure of getting my first ever tattoo while visiting Branson. Rev was beyond awesome. He made me feel at ease and walked me through every step. Very professional and thorough. He took my generic idea and made it into an awesome design.
Lauren was super helpful. Gave me a rundown of the shop minimums since I was a newbie to the shop. She got me in and out as a walk in. Didn't give me any strife for not knowing a design I wanted when I walked in. Super appreciate! Will visit again!!
Lauren was a great artist. I was a walkin and showed her what i was thinking and she worked with me on placement and size. The tattoo its self looks great the lines are very clean and she is a great artist.
Mark always does an amazing job and the tattoos turned out awesome as always
Got my first tat here. Rev was super cool and patient. His art work is 10/10!
Came in for a couple names to add to my memorial tattoo and left with that and some other stuff added. Husband got a Peterbilt logo from Rev and it turned out better than he could imagine. Definitely recommend this place.
Lauren did mine and my sister-in-law’s matching tattoos. She was fun, sweet, honest, and excited for our picked designs! Everything was clean, the environment was comfortable. Perfect tattoo experience!
Great experience. Overall a great place, everyone was nice and very straightforward. Mark got me fixed up with an amazing tattoo that was within my budget. 10/10 would love to come back
Rev is the absolute best! Designed both of my tattoos and is simply the best around! Always makes you comfortable and gives you a good laugh!
Was in branson last April. 100% recommend House of Ink. Jeff did my tattoo of a bumblebee & hawthorn flower. Love how light handed he is, as the tattoo process I barely felt.
My daughter and I were in Branson for a women’s retreat and decided we wanted to get tattoos to remember the weekend. We stopped into House of Ink and were lucky enough to get Revvv as our artist. From the moment we sat down he was welcoming, professional, and really took the time to listen to what we wanted. I got…

I had the pleasure of getting my first ever tattoos under the guidance and skill of Rev. He listened to my ideas, quickly developed beautiful designs and expertly crafted them. Each is meaningful in their own way, but Rev went above and beyond with the mama bear tattoo. Based on the sketch, I thought h part of the…
Great experience. Drove all the way from St Louis to have Rev do a second tattoo for me! Awesome artist!!! Thank you Rev.
Went in for a couple tattoos with Mark. Had a great experience, the tattoos turned out great! I figured for the placement it would be a little uncomfortable but I didn't have any discomfort. Will continue to go back for all my future tattoos.
These guys did a great job and were fun to hang around as well. I Highly recommend this place if you’re heading to Branson.
I came in from Kansas City with my boyfriend to get tattoos. The whole place is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. Mark Murphy, the owner, did our tattoos and made the whole experience a breeze. We felt comfortable and Mark truly cares about the art he does. I most definitely won’t be going anywhere else besides House of Ink for all my future tattoos!
My wife & I get all our stuff done from Rev. All the guys are great & really cool.
Great atmosphere and cool tattoo artists! My boyfriend got our daughter’s name tattooed on him on 01/31/2026. Took about three hours from the time we walked in until finish. Jeff was his artist. He gave different options for fonts, explained the pros/cons of different placements, and was super friendly. Definitely…
This was my first tattoo experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better one. The shop was welcoming, and had such a relaxed vibe. The Mark took the time to explain everything, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable the whole way through. I was nervous going in, but I left feeling confident…
I had such an amazing experience my tattoo artist (Rev) was funny kind and took his time and showed he really cared

Rev was super nice and helped me turn my idea into a way better design then what I came in with. The tattoo turned out amazing and I would 100% recommend him.
When I went to get my first tattoo everyone was very nice, especially Lauren who did my tattoo, she made sure I was comfortable and I appreciate that.
Pyro is my guy. Spontaneous idea for a tat, and he got us covered. Worked efficiently and pretty cheap. 5 stars for pyro.
Good customer service very good artist. Do you know what they’re doing? It was my first tattoo and he felt like he was very light with his hands. Did a good job. I would recommend them to anybody.
Awesome Shop!!! Lauren was amazing for me and my wife!
I had Markus for the cartlidge piercing. He was so nice and the piercing was quick and painless. For my tattoo I had Lauren who did so good! She was so sweet and easy to talk to. Highly recommend this place!
Stopped in on Saturday to get a comb filled out on my trip sleeve by Pryo. Great guys to chat with, and very pleased with how everything turned out and very reasonable cost for work done. So much so, that I decided to come back the next day and get the flower sleeve for family started by Pyro as well. Will be back…
3 of us visited the shop and had work done. Mark and Joe were very friendly and helpful.
Mark was amazing!
My best friend & I went to get our matching tats. Hands down the best experience. Mark is a fantastic tattoo artist, the atmosphere was a solid 10/10, and he made the entire session fun and comfortable. Highly recommend! I wouldn’t trust anyone else!
Mark was legit AMAZING! Walked in with somewhat of an idea for a dainty tattoo and he helped it come to life! So nice, patient, gentle, and did a phenomenal job! Highly recommend!
I want to give a HUGE shoutout to my tattoo artist Mark! I’m so obsessed with the work he had done today. He did exactly what I was asking for. I’ll definitely be going back to him! As a plus the other workers were very nice and I appreciated how clean the entire shop was.
Rev recommended the perfect spot for a realistic butterfly tattoo and then did an amazing job on the artwork! The detail and shadows are really eye catching. I am very happy!
My husband and I each got a tattoo to celebrate our anniversary! House of Ink delivered 👏🏼 great atmosphere, punctual, incredible artists, reasonably priced for what you get! Quality is great. We will glad make the trip to Branson for more work in the future!
