Big Brain

This tattoo shop has the location going for it for sure. At 1123 Jackson Street, they are in the Downtown area where many Omahans go for a night out. The website looks good and offers a lot of information. The website is http://www.bigbrainomaha.com/index.html. Their piercer, Smitty, is well-known and one of the best piercers around. I personally have two tattoos from them and I love them both. It was the place I got my first tattoo! My husband has one from them and he doesn't like his tattoo as much (granted this is more his own fault than theirs, as he chose the design). My experience was excellent there, but recently it seems they have grown out of their kind nature. My sister went their first to get her foot tattoo and they were less than satisfactory. They told her all the things she couldn't do: how it would have be be huge to include the detail, it would never fit on her foot, on and on. We basically turned and walked out because of the way they were treating us. It was very sad because they were so great in the past. We ended up going to Grinn & Barrett later and she got the wonderful (and detailed) tattoo that she wanted AND on her foot no less. The old Big Brain would earn a 3 1/2 out of 5...the new one, probably around a 2.
