Skin Kitchen, specifically Jack, is arguably the best shop/artist in Des Moines.

Derek Hutchison at Bombshell Tattoo is also very well respected. His wife Nicci is covered with his work.

Really all depends on what style your after.

Tattoo artist are like a good doctor or provider. Once you find one that you're comfortable with its hard to move to someone else.

Good luck and thanks for reminding me that I need more ink.
