| Nena | I came in Saturday March 15, 2008 and was automatically comfortable with the enviornment! People their seemed really cool. Will be back ASAP to get my first tattoo! | 2008-03-15 |
| Tyler woods | Andy, the tattoo got from you is looking amazing and i was wondering when you could maybe touch up my other one. because it looks just so plain now compared to the amazing one i just got. | 2008-02-20 |
| tommy wendt | these guys are awesome. they argue with me like i'm family, rip on me like i've been there for a hundred years and Marty's ink is the best ive ever had. ive been to two other tattoo shops in kazoo that i wasn't happy with because of enviorenment tattoo or whatever i won't say which they were, but they were both on westnedge.my favorite tat WAS by a guy who had a double masters in art history from the university of chicago i got at the jade dragon in chicago. but marty is doing a golem that shamed it. now we decided to do a whole theme lotr leg and with the hobbit coming out in 09 i think we will do the battle of the five armies on the other! MARTY RULES! they probably wont like it(especially the beard) but they are going to be seeing a whole lot of me there! they rule! I almost fgorgot. Marty also did an awesome 1960's Smaug the dragon in honor of my new son and it is awesom as well. | 2008-01-24 |
| Kimberly | Great artist and beautiful work. Thank you for a wonderful addition to the tattoo world! | 2008-01-10 |

| Stephanie Lynn | Hey Oompa! I'm absolutely loving the tattoo that you did for me last night! I was just wondering how long I should stay away from tanning, a friend told me that if i cover it with a towel that i should be safe. I was just trying to figure out if the heat would dry it out or what exactly you suggest. Get back to me 275.9785. Thanks again! -your buckle girl :) | 2007-10-25 |
| Jaimie | Just a few questions, why are the piercings on the back and hips and wherever, not able to be permenant?? Just wondering. Dont plan on getting any on myself. | 2007-10-18 |
| Liz Lane | mm.. andy. i was just wondering if you were done drawing up my pinup girl and marilyn.. my sides are looking bare and lonesome. i think im coming in soon to get something like you just did on my shoulder but on the other one. give me a call soon, if not ill give you a shout at the shop. | 2007-10-09 |
| B... | this isnt a comment.. buh a question.. u kno how hip piercengs are only temporary.. well.. after u have to take them out can u ever get them repierced again?? | 2007-10-08 |
| Kitina | Chimp! I am so glad that I found you. You did a tattoo on my ankle and a huge butterfly on my lower back a few years back in Battle Creek. I went back to have some more work done and you no longer worked there, so I never did get the work done. I just happened to stop by the shop at the mall and the owner I guess asked me who did my tatts and I answered Chimp. And I was elated to find out that you worked for him. Now I am ready to have my work done. There's noone like you Chimp. | 2007-10-02 |
| steve | Andy, Please take a look at the info and pics I dropped off with Chimp. I like the tat you did, that shows the inside of the hand, with the skin peeled back. Same type of thing I'd like to do as part of this cover. Give me a call if you want to give it a shot, I can drop in the next weekend you work. | 2007-10-01 |
| Steve | Chimp, On that cover up I talked to you about, and dropped off drawing ideas for, The background on that is a night sky, with a full moon, batman symbol in sihloutte against that moon. It's not limited to the size of the tat to be covered. Fill as much of my upper arm as needed, the bigger the better. look forward to seeing the ideas! | 2007-09-29 |

| Aaron & Rhonda O. | Wow, is all I can say about the art work that Oompa can do. He is not only a great Tattooist he is a great artist. He took my ideas I had for a Tattoo for my father and made it a work of art. The greatest thing about it is that anyone who looks at it knows about my dad, even though they have not met him. My dad also seen it and knows no matter what he is always with me. I can not say enough great things about Oompa. I can say that if you want a great attoo for someone who you want to always remember. Oompa is that tattooist to do it! You can see that Tattoo (as well as others) on my-space at, AaronRhondaO@myspace.com.. | 2007-03-31 |
| cragar | To The BC Art&Soul, What can you say, wonderful artists, good people, I find it a true pleasure to get inked there. I've had my whole family tattooed there. Oompa, you made the old work on my arm look great, can't wait to get the other side straightened out. Bob, you demented bastard, you made my daughter the best birthday present she ever had and my wife is very pleased with her work so far also. Nikki, you are a very wonderful person in your own right, just keep being you. I believe this is the finest shop in the area and will be going there for along time. Glad you're all there and honored to have met each one of you. | 2007-03-27 |

| Quarine | About 6 months ago I had my nipple pierced (not at Art & Soul). My skin was pushing the ring out, so I dropped into Art & Soul one night after work. (I actually only went there because the other tattoo shops were closed that night.) All of the people there were extremely nice and helpful. They knew a lot more than other places I have been. James informed me that it was rejecting and that I should take out the ring and let it heal. I came back a couple of weeks later and James pierced the same nipple. It is placed perfectly and even. I recommend him to everyone now. He did an amazing job and it looks awesome. Thanks again! | 2005-12-04 |
| Zach | Yo Chad
My owl looks fucking amazing. You're a sweet artist man. Talent coming out of your ears style. The trees and everything in the background is awesome. I cant thank you enough for the job you did. The whole shop is tight. All the guys working there couldnt be cooler. I've had my tat for less then 12 hours now and I've already thought of what to add on to it. I know I'm addicted now. All tats in the future done by Chad, no questions asked.So thanks again, drop me a line sometime bro and keep up the great work. | 2005-12-01 |
| Kathy Keel | Hey Chad!
You probably don't remember me but you did my first and only tattoo here in Toledo. Remember...it took me 10 years to get my husband to "agree" to "let" me. Not that he is my father or anything...just didn't out of respect for him. Well guess what... HE WANTS A TATTOO NOW! And we wouldn't let anyone else give him one, but you! Not sure if you still come to Toledo..but if not we will head up your way. I am working on designing a second one for myself...yea, I'm ready for #2! Talk with you soon~ | 2005-11-21 |
| Holly Brock | James I can't beleive how far you've came. Best Wishes, Holly | 2005-11-20 |
| Mike Wood | Ha ha, geary you are a hoot. I bumped into mike at the health club, he saw my tattoo you did, and sked me who did it. I replied geary, then he asks "geary morrell (sorry if i slaughtered your last name)?" Then he says you work for him! I swear this world is getting smaller all the time. You crack me up, in your bio it says you hate battle creek, me too. I guess it will do that to you if yuo work there. i worked there for like 4 years. FUCK THAT. Anyway, i just thought i would drop you a line, and say hey. I gotta make it in there some time.
Mike Wood | 2005-11-16 |

| Meggan | I have been pierced by James and tattooed by Chad and would trust my body to no other artists. They are by far the best I have found in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. Chad tattooed my ribs (OUCH) and has a very soft hand. He does all he can to make his customers comftorable. Chad is not just a tattooist, but a true tattoo artist. (there is a BIG difference) James has the smoothest quickest piercing I've ever had. They are not traumatic whatsoever. The piercing I had got by him were also the fastest healing, for he knows much more about aftercare than the average "piercer". He is a true body modification ARTIST. | 2005-06-14 |
| Matt OC | Site is lookin good fellas! See you all very soon. | 2005-06-09 |
| Christine | I've been to 24 out of the continental 48.Chad is one of the very best artists I've ever seen.He did my very first tattoo in 2000. I plan on getting inked by him many more times and referring friends | 2005-06-05 |
