Key City Tattoo

10000000/10 do recommend. Go see Nate or Gary for any coverup or tattoo needs! They also have someone who does piercings and she is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. If you want to get tatted or pierced in a place that feels like you are just kicking it with a bunch of your friends, look no further. The Urbana Shop has great vibes and amazing artists. And always remember, don’t be sad- go get a tattoo!

Very nice artists, clean shop and great atmosphere! Went today for their Friday the 13th event and got the flash shamrock and shoulder butterfly. I will be back for more art! Edit: Went back on Friday for the dragon. Another good experience!

I've gotten 4 tattoos done here by Nate in the past 4 months. Ghost and heart were flash, but the bigger ones he blew me away with the design! I have others from years or months past, but I feel like this puts in perspective how much I enjoy it here. The shop has a great vibe- there's VHS's, old toys, cool art on the walls, and everybody there is friendly and talented. I live an hour away and if there's a cool event or important tattoo I want done, I always make the trek here. It's always worth it. Prices are great too- I feel like they could absolutely charge more for the quality, but if you feel the same you can give them a really good tip :)

The atmosphere at this shop is incredible, and the artwork is top-notch. From the moment I walked in, the front desk made me feel welcome, and the whole studio has an amazing vibe. The custom wall art and classic flash sheets give the space so much character—I loved every detail. I had the honor of being tattooed by Nate, and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. Not only is he massively talented, but he’s also accommodating, professional, and just a genuinely great person to work with. My piece came out so clean, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I’m not sure I can do the experience justice with words—just know that if you come here, you won’t be disappointed.

I love KCT Urbana. Amazing tattoos, extremely kind and thoughtful artists. You can’t get a better experience anywhere else. I strongly recommend this place. Special shout-out to artists Kesli and Gary for being spectacular human beings and for keeping us all coming back month after month. Best crew ever.
