Black Throne Collective Tattoo

If I didn’t have to give a star I wouldn’t. This guy is unprofessional, lacks communication, ego stroking himself on social media, and fails to be honest to ideas on potential clients like myself. Has good work from what I seen on social but not willing for openness to clients wanting work done. After being referred to this guy and getting dismissed, I do NOT recommend this guy Tommy or respect his ways of treating his potential clients!! 0/5 stars!!! Hate google made give a star!

Tommy, who is the owner of Black Throne, is unprofessional and lacks courage to be honest with potential customers. I saw his work and was really impressed so I messaged him and we started talking about my idea for a sleeve which I wanted him to have a ton of artistic freedom on. He seemed interested in working with me and even asked if I wanted to schedule an appointment. I said yes and asked a few follow up questions. Apparently, these questions made him disinterested in doing my tattoo because he stopped replying and had read my messages. Since that experience, I've met with several other incredible artists who know Tommy and they told me not to take his ghosting personal: that's what he does when he's not interested in working with someone. He has the right to chose who and what he works on, but not having the courage to tell people is spineless. His professional page on Instagram is filled with him showing off his cars and boat, so needless to say he's self conscious and is compensating for something. All his artists left Black Throne which tells you a lot about his personality and professionalism. Thanks for wasting my time, Tommy. But also thanks for not taking me on, because I don't vibe well with people that are cocky due to low self esteem.

Mark has been tattooing me for about 10 years now and I am always 300% happy with the results. Every time I have a tattoo idea, he makes it 10x better than what I had in my head. He always considers my comfort and wants me to have a great time! Amanda is also amazing, and lovely to talk to. She makes booking super easy. The shop is clean and very well maintained. All the other artists I've met there are great - super friendly and genuinely interested in your tattoo.

Mark is a great artist, he takes into consideration what you want done and his style of art is amazing! He works with your schedule and responds to messages pretty fast. Definitely coming back to have more work done.

David does great quality work. He is definitely at another level. Loved that he kept the conversations going while getting the work done. I'm glad I made the drive down to STL for my piece. Will definitely be going back for more work.
