Genuine Tattoo Co. was founded in 1998.  We are in Bloomington, Indiana and we enjoy a large and stable customer base.
Most of our business is repeat or referral. We believe this is a direct result of treating customers the way they deserve to be treated and putting forth our best effort on every job. 

We are not the cheapest around, but we are the best around.  There are three basic principles to business.  These are quality, service, and price.  It is only possible to provide two of the three.  We choose quality and service

Do not come here looking for $10 piercings or discount tattoos.  Come here to find the service and quality your dollar deserves.

Genuine Tattoo Co. is owned and operated by Shannon Simpson.  Shannon spent eight years learning his trade from the late, great Tattoo Charlie in Louisville, Kentucky.  You can see Charlie’s influence in every aspect of the tattoo shop and in every job that walks out the door.
 

Sterilization—

All equipment is sterilized in an autoclave steam sterilizer at 285 degrees for 30 minutes at 15 lbs steam pressure. 
All needles and pigments are single service, which are used once and then disposed of.

You will see your equipment unpackaged before your eyes.  The heat indicators on the packaging will also be explained to you every time you visit.  Heat indicators are proof your equipment was run through the autoclave sterilization process and is safe to use.

We spore test our autoclaves monthly.  A spore test is a test done by an independent off site laboratory, checking the proper function and effectiveness of our sterilization process.

Enjoy Your Peace of Mind With Us.
