Tattoo Shops near Fridley

“This place is a joy! I’ve been both tattooed and pierced here and it’s always a good time and done well. Everyone is friendly, funny, and good at what they do. And the decor is endless!“

“Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Cozy atmosphere. Girlfriend and I were looking to get our eyebrows and nostrils pierced. Other places were closed by 6 p.m. or were appointment only. So being walk in definitely gets points for it. We plan on making this place our go to. Highly recommend.“

“Thank you to my artist Jessi Graden for doing such an awesome job on my tiger tattoo! Excited to work with you again soon!“

“Came here today for my 2nd and 3rd piercings ever. Liz was very friendly and professional. I was quite nervous getting two dorsal frenum piercings, but she made it not so bad.“

“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!“

“I love both my tattoos done by Jewels! She truly masters the art of fine line tattoos. Her work is incredibly detailed, with amazing shading that brings each piece to life. She makes the entire tattoo experience comfortable and enjoyable.

Keelee is equally fantastic. They are super nice and always ready to help and answer any questions. They helped me pick the cutest nose ring!Both Jewels and Keelee make a great team for anyone looking to get beautiful tattoos or piercings with. confidence.“

“Great experience with Olivia at Minneapolis Tattoo! Everyone was friendly and had good vibes. I will definitely be traveling back from Wisconsin to get more tattoos here.“

“I got 2 piercings (helix and navel) i’m very happy with both! Such an easy process and if I lived in MN I would come here for everything. Thank you :)“

“The first thing is the atmosphere, it's definitely chill and laid out to give you a relaxed experience. The interactions are hilarious between the artists. My artist brought all my ideas together into a piece that I am excited to finish, he checked in on pain to make sure things were cool and discussed future pieces. It's good vibes, good people and great art all around.“

“I highly recommend getting a tattoo at Timebomb! Such great talent from all the artists here and friendly people! Very clean in there and just a cool vibe in the shop all around. Shaun did two large and detailed pieces on each one of my legs and I couldn’t have asked for better. I am obsessed with them! He really listened to what I wanted and helped me come up with the perfect placement to go with the shape of my body. Amazing place! 10 ⭐️“

“Went into the shop to get a walk-in tattoo. Charlie Mendez was my artist. The shop was clean, everyone was friendly, and Charlie was great!“

“Awesome shop, super welcoming, inviting, and clean. Great vibes, great conversation, and great atmosphere.
My tattoo from Matt looks incredible! I gave him an idea at our consultation and he turned it into something truly special, that looks amazing. Will absolutely be coming back“

“Staff is friendly and informative. Lily did a great job piercing my 10 year old granddaughter's ears.“

“I’ve gotten both of my nose piercings here and have had no problems healing them. I appreciate that the piercers talk through the procedure before and while doing it. Very accommodating and very professional.“

“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.“

“I had a memorial tattoo done and my artist Jazzy did a perfect job! Needless to say I will be back in the future to get more ink! Great and very personable and professional staff!“

“I have had most of my tattoos done by Mafia Ink, beginning in 2011. They were almost all done by Cory. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I have over twenty tattoos, in various sizes. I am always given the sheet describing the after care instructions even though I am obviously aware of how to care for my tattoos. The staff are talented and friendly. I have never had an issue with anyone there. The place is clean and sterile. They are always up to date with new ink and after care ointments. You can purchase ointment from them or just use A&D ointment. They don't force you into a purchase. Payments are always made in cash which is the norm for any tattoo establishment. Prior to coming here I had gone to another shop, once. My older tattoos still look amazing, the colors are still vibrant. I receive many compliments on them and I always recommend Mafia Ink. I have been to both locations. The music can get a bit loud and not in the genres I prefer. I’m a senior, I usually bring my iPod and listen to my own selections when I am not conversing with Cory. I am always treated with respect. I have never done the monthly specials so I can't speak to those. FYI: They do have a restroom accessible through the back of their establishment for clients. They also have televisions with a wide variety of shows to watch if you prefer. * I recently added a small tattoo done by Haro. Great work completely satisfied.“

“I love this shop! I’ve been here multiple times! Randy is awesome! Quality work and great conversations! Never have to wait long!“

“Neighborhood is a great spot. The shop is clean, calm, and welcoming. I found it a comfortable place to get a tattoo.

I specifically got my tattoo with Ian Richards and I cannot say enough good things about him. He took my inspiration drawings and drew what I asked for while adding his own personal style. He worked with me through last minute details, taking my input seriously, offering opinions when asked but never pushing. If you ever need a needle break - he will gladly give it to you, just ask. Most of all, he was genuinely excited about the tattoo. It looks GREAT. I'd recommend him for anything, but especially if you're getting an animal I'd really consider Ian. He loves animals and does a great job on them, including mine.

However, vibes of shop are overall 10/10 so if you're considering another artist I'd still recommend.“

“Had such a wonderful experience here! Everyone was so kind, caring, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They were able to fit me in last minute for something small (but important to me!!), and I’m truly so grateful for that. Thank you for making the whole experience feel comfortable and special. I’ll appreciate it forever! I will definitely be back the next time I’m in Minneapolis!!“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“The Ink Lab was a perfect place to go for my first piercings. I was nervous asking very basic questions, but Terren was warm and professional and made me feel at home. I know I'll be coming back for future piercings.“

“just had a tattoo done by arianna and she was amazing it’s just what i wanted and i would definitely have her do another one!!! my son love it!“

“Bob was professional and caring in the matter in which this visit detailed...at least for a second ? Top Notch Artist...only one I will use from now on.“

“I went to Wingnut for a tattoo cover. The shop was very clean, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Jeff did my tattoo, and he was amazing!! He created a beautiful design for me that incorporated all of my ideas, and you’d never know there used to be a different tattoo there. He was very professional, keeping me involved in every step of the process, and he was so kind and comforting! He put me at such ease I almost forgot I was getting tattooed. Jeff will do all of my future tattoos, and he should do yours too. Highly recommended!“
