Grimm Tattoo and Bert Grimm Museum
Kansas City, MO 64102
Grimm Tattoo and the Bert Grimm Tattoo Museum in Kansas City, Missouri, carry on the legacy of Bert Grimm, widely regarded as the "godfather of modern tattooing." For four generations, the Grimm family name has been synonymous with bold, innovative, and revolutionary artistry, and the studio is committed to preserving this rich history. A team of highly skilled artists creates one-of-a-kind tattoos rooted in the traditional American style, honoring the bold lines, vibrant colors, and contour shading that Bert Grimm pioneered decades ago. The shop offers exceptional body art seven days a week, welcoming those seeking a unique design as well as those who want a piece connected to genuine tattoo history.
Bert Grimm began tattooing as a teenager, learned from influential Portland tattooists, and spent 70 years shaping the traditional American style before his death in 1985. He operated shops across the country, from Chicago and Honolulu to Los Angeles and Seaside, Oregon, and was rumored to have tattooed figures like Bonnie and Clyde. The Kansas City location, home to both the working tattoo shop and the Bert Grimm Tattoo Museum, keeps that history alive, giving artists and clients alike a direct connection to one of the most influential figures in the evolution of tattoo artistry.
