“The smoothest tattoo process I have ever had. I’ve wanted my first black and grey from Michael Latessa for a few years and he finally made my dream come true. Super kind, respectful and professional but absolutely a very real and honest person. I couldn’t be happier and look forward to my next piece.“

“I have gotten 3 tattoos from Lauren and the experience has been incredible each time. Lauren was very accommodating when doing my first ever tattoos (I was extremely anxious). She talked me through everything and had an extremely gentle touch. I get compliments all the time on my tattoos - absolutely love them ❤️“

“This shop and Roger are wonderful. My husband and I each had separate sessions, working with Roger to design similar/related memorial tattoos that worked well for our individual styles and placements. He made sure we both felt comfortable not only with the design, but the overall experience. The shop is very clean, and the rest of the artists were friendly and professional. I have been to a lot of shops and not every one stands out - this one stands out. Thank you, Roger, for the time and care you took to make sure this experience went well and our tattoos turned out amazing!“

“Andy Crawford is a talented artist that is super client focused and cares deeply about their work. I look forward to getting more pieces done by them.“

“Mara did septum piercings for myself and my child. She did such an amazing job. She was very professional and friendly. Her demeanor helped calm the nerves that come with any piercing. She was very careful to ensure proper placement. Both look great. I would 100% recommend this shop and Mara for piercings.“

“I was @ Wooden Ship Brewery on Saturday, 10 May for their anniversary block party and Nokomis was there with some Flash Tattoo options. I opted for the sun on water. Chris was super friendly and chatted w me as I get chatty when I'm a little out of comfort zone... and as we talked I realized It's been since 2004 that I had a tattoo. I appreciated that he put the outline of the tattoo on my arm and then confirmed that's where I would want it? Unfortunately it was not... just a bit to the left and a bit up, easy enough. I didn't check the time but it sure didn't feel like it took him long at all. The whole process was smooth, not really painful and his table was really comfortable. When the tattoo was done I was told how long to keep my bandage on, given ointment, care instructions, a sticker and told what to put on the tattoo. Thanks Chris for your professional and great service!! I will definitely have to stop in to the shop to browse your other options and see some of your work and get another tattoo! Unfortunately I was too caught up on the goings on @ the brewery that I didn't browse the several shirt options brought w for purchase. I will definitely take a look at the shop. Chris had on a great one...that at first glance I thought was TImberwolves.....haha“

“It was a great atmosphere and all 3 of the artists we worked with were wonderful and did a beautiful job!“

“Blake was awsome . Fist tattoo was very informative and forward on what he was doing through the entire process“

“I had only ever gone to one place for my 5 other tattoos so I was a bit nervous but decided to give Tiger Rose a try. Glad I did. Awesome experience from start to finish. I will definitely be back.

Updated to add: I did go back. And they did amazing work again! I have a third tat from them on the back of my elbow. The photos are present from today. This is how good their work is: the rainbow tat is about 8 years old and the big black one is about 6. They are still looking amazing.“

“Hung is a highly talented artist, he helped me honor my bunny who meant everything to me with a beautiful portrait & flowers of my choice around it. This is my second large/detailed piece by Hung and I love how he is able to take my idea, and make it even better than I can imagine in my head. My colored tattoo I got in 2019 is still vibrant and beautiful so I have no worries of my new tattoo not lasting! I never thought I’d love a piece more than my snake tattoo but I have to say my new one is definitely taking the top spot now. Go support his business, I doubt anyone in Minnesota is as talented and detailed as Hung! I’m very grateful that Hung helped me through my grief with this beautiful work of art.“

“AB did a phenomenal job of listening, understanding, and ultimately creating the vision for my tattoo. Could not offer higher recommendations for exceptional talent and artistry.“

“I was a walk in a year ago. I showed the artist what i wanted and they did it beautifully. 100% worth it, and it looks just as good today as the day that I got it“

“My wife and I were on a family vacation and I owed her something for her birthday. We have had multiple pieces done at multiple shops across multiple states and Sea Wolf ranks among the best in our opinion. First thing we noticed walking in was the quick welcoming we got from both artist. Secondly the shop was clean, which is a must for a good shop. Came in Wednesday afternoon and talked with Dave and Jewels and they were able to set us up for the following afternoon. Both artists seemed genuinely excited to do our small pieces(mine was a shop minimum) and seemed to both be on the same page as us on placement and size. Dave packed great solid color and was able to nail the small details on my wife's Pikachu and Jewels' solid, straight, even lines and skin breaks on my Pikachu stencil made it look like a sticker. Couldn't be happier with the overall experience. Plus their pricing matched their quality of work. If your in the area and itching for a bada$$ piece check them out.“

“I had an incredible experience with my first tattoo. jers It's not only a super rad human being, but probably one of the best tattoo artists in the Twin Cities. he made the experience super easy. you won't regret stopping in this shop!“

“It was a great environment, clean, and I love the tattoo I got.

Requested style: I had a Polynesian style requested and Trevor knew all about them, he was extremely knowledgeable in that style.

Stylist: I had Trevor, he did an awesome job, and he was fast at it to“

“Tony was extremely nice, patient, and gave an idea when I was unsure on what exactly I had wanted to do. He was quick and the tattoo turned out great. Even though I had gotten a small, simple tattoo there would have still been room for error but none with Tony!
If you live in the area, or are in town and looking to get a tattoo, I highly recommend going to Grand Avenue Tattoo!!“

“Worked with Ven for my first professional tattoo and he made the whole experience smooth and easy. He’s super chill, and the shop had such a great vibe and atmosphere that I felt comfortable right away. What stood out even more was how down-to-earth he is, he even bought pizza for the staff and clients, which just shows the kind of person he is.

I love how the tattoo turned out and couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I’ll definitely be going back to Ven for more work!“
