Nothing in here washes off.

Memory Lane Tattoo Club sits on Purdue Road on the northwest side of Indianapolis. Inside, there's a green street sign hung over a wall of framed art and painted skate decks with the shop's name stamped on it like a corner you'd turn down.

183 people have reviewed it on Google. The average is 4.9. Everything below — every photo, every word in quotes — comes from that profile and from the people who sat in those chairs.

No. 03 The names

Three names come up
over and over.

We didn't pick these. Customers typed them into their own reviews, unprompted, and kept typing them.

Rene Martinez

His line work is always very clean, and he has amazing creative energy. He is always looking for ways to improve on the design, even as he works through the piece.

Chris took care of us, drew them up and did the tattoos pretty quickly! They turned out great and I would recommend him to anyone needing fine line work!

In their words,
not ours.

Four of the 183. Copied exactly as they were written on Google.

Rene Martinez is my favorite tattoo artist by far! His line work is always very clean, and he has amazing creative energy. He is always looking for ways to improve on the design, even as he works through the piece. His prices are fair, and his work is quick! I always come back to Rene.
