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
I've been tattooed here multiple times and was a great experience all around. The shop has a community driven vibe, shop was clean, the staff made me feel welcome and were all helpful. I've been to other shops that felt pretentious and not welcoming. Nokomis Tattoo was inviting, inclusive and felt like the staff cared. If you want to invest in a shop that cares about its community in addition to having amazing artwork this seems to be the place. I'll be back for more.
Nokomis tattoo is my neighborhood tattoo parlour. I'd been considering a third tatt so I stopped in to check them out (I've been seeing their shop since moving to Minneapolis nine months earlier). Convenient location, well lit and I was able to do a walk-in. The people I worked with were cool and the energy was positive. I recommend checking them out.
