Nadwe Zibe 1 & 2

Yes, you read correctly. Nadwe Zibe Tattoos in South Bend became so popular that it made a sequel (like The Hangover). Great movie, good times.

Nadwe Zibe I has a great corner location off the Mayflower Road Exit from the US 20 bypass. It is owned by artist Ron Hoaks who has been in the business for many years.

Again, I must give credit where it is due by proudly saying that my very first tattoo was done in this shop, along with the next 3 (or 4). Sorry mom.

Scott Ryan is a tattoo artist as well as certified piercer. He does great work, and if you are uncomfortable at first, he has a way of making sure that you feel right at home.

Now that Nadwe I is remodeled, there is a back room where piercings take place. That way, if your nerves get the best of you (or you don't want your goodies to be shown to people passing by) you are in complete privacy!

Check out their website and online portfolios of all the artists, including Robin! If colorful ink is your thing, she's your girl.

Round II, and GO:

Nadwe Zibe II is conveniently located in Niles Michigan, and provides you with more opportunities to get what you want out of your ink.

With new and upcoming artists, it is important to scope their work before committing. However, these 'kids' know what they're doing. Again, I've personally gotten a tattoo at this shop as well! Look familiar? :



Torie is an amazing artist, whom I've had the pleasure of studying with in college. We took an art class together, and she kicked my keaster. She is extremely talented and worth checking out!

Two shops, one goal... to provide quality art to those in the Michiana Area!

Happy Hunting!
