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

“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“

“Allison was very kind, was willing to work with us to provide as much information as possible over the phone, and made the process easy! Great service all around :)“

“I’ve been tattooed by both Lindsee and Luis and they both are amazing and super friendly! The shop is so pretty and the tattoo process was quick but not rushed + my tattoos turned out gorgeous!!“

“Such a great experience with Ben! He did an amazing job with my tattoo and it was such a pleasant experience overall. Would highly recommend and we will be back!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing experience with DeonTre and Omar. We inquired via email, giving them the concept and sending examples from the web and their IG pages on our vision for the piece pictured here. They were very responsive and quick to schedule with us. My husband got a snowflake and a balance scale by Omar; both pieces are awesome! We didn’t get pre-wrapped photos so you’ll have to imagine those tattoos. The price attached to this review was the total for 3 small pieces.

I received my very first tattoo from DeonTre: a Georgia peach in a postage stamp + SERENITY. DeonTre listened to what I wanted, always asking if I was comfortable and satisfied with the work he was doing and it was simply an outstanding experience, especially for a newbie like me.

I waited so long to get a tattoo because I wanted someone who could do detailed work very well on Black skin, DeonTre hit it out of the park!

Thank you Truth Tattoo!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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 worked with Paige on my very first tattoo. The patience and attention to every detail (including every lift of the pen) from the signature of the last birthday card my dad gave me before he passed, makes this particular tattoo so special to me. This is a picture day of. She was so careful, I can tell hygiene is extremely important to her. Very thorough and thoughtful in her after care instructions…really put me at ease. The staff were great. One of them even offered to move my car to help me avoid a ticket! I highly recommend both Paige and BlackEnd Tattoo Atelier.“

“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“

“Awesome job by Chris and his team! Great follow up very good pricing was able to work with my budget and the creative process of Chris was great!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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 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 ❤️“

“Amazing service and quality. When I walk in they are there and ready to go. The artists listen to me and provide me exactly what I am asking for and beyond even that most times. Jason is an incredible artist!“
