She talked me through everything and had an extremely gentle touch. I get compliments all the time on my tattoos - absolutely love them ❤️“

“Kore has been doing my tattoos for 12 years and she is the BEST!!! She is so detailed and precise! She makes everyone feel welcome and calm. Please go check her out! Best tattoo shop in the cities!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

Cleanliness: very clean shop, the booths were wiped and sanitized after each client that I saw.“

“My sister and I came in to get tattoos and Josh was amazing! Excellent customer service, clean facility, and we are very happy with his work. We were walk-ins who did not know what we wanted. He was extremely patient and helpful- we will be back!“

“All my work has been done by Matt and his dad and it always turned out AMAZING but I left MN and now that Im back I need work done. Where did yous move to?Service: Custom tattoo lettering“

“In requesting a memorial tattoo that would remind me of the deep and expansive beauty and love that my mom imprinted in my life, Dolores skillfully etched the perfect design onto my arm. I had a hard time envisioning the exact tattoo I desired, but Dolores took note of the vague idea I had and created this resplendent quetzal (national bird of Guatemala) that I find breathtaking. Dolores was very responsive to all my questions and made the process easy. I am very pleased with Dolores' knowledge, experience and masterful work. It gives me great pleasure to give Dolores my highest recommendation!“

“Today was my dad‘s 100th birthday. My daughter and I went in to get a tattoo of his signature on our forearms. We had a great experience and everybody there was amazing! Thank you for making my dad‘s 100th birthday memorable.“

“When searching for a place to get a Cardinal for my Grandma I ended up picking the perfect place. Ian was the one to do my tattoo and he made my experience very welcoming and relaxing. He gave me plenty of control over the design and gave full proof he could accomplish whatever I prefer. I am amazed with his talent and design, thank you Ian!“

“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 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 :)“

It’s been a little over a week and is healing beautifully. She works efficiently and thoroughly and happily answered all of my questions. Thanks, Helen!“
