Best Tattoo Shops In Saint Paul

“Danny helped me turn a vision to a reality! I wanted to encompass my time in the army located in Korea along with a family crest and he absolutely killed it! Thank you so much. Will be going back for any more artwork!“

“Got started on my back with BootKnifeBetty, she does amazing work just need to get back in to get it shaded but will definitely be back for other pieces in the future.“

“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.“

“had a fantastic experience getting tattooed by athena! the shop vibes were great, the shop was clean and spacious, and i am in love with the art i got to leave with! thanks again!“

“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.“

“I’ve had really good experiences with the artists that do their work here, both as a walk-in and via appointment. The space is smaller and clean. There are some tattoo shops that seem super intimidating to me, but the staff and artists here have always been really friendly + efficient. I love that they have guest artists stop in that are from out of town as well! I recommend them and their artists a lot whenever I get compliments on my tattoos since I have three now from there. Also love their “sister” shop (Highland Tattoo). Shoutout to Hannah + Sarah Louise for their work especially!

Also think it’s important to work with artists that respect people’s varying tastes in style and also respect the history of the art - everyone here seems super respectful of both those aspects. Overall would definitely recommend as a solid go-to shop in the area.“

“I went to get a Pearson and the guy Chad was very nice and I didn't get no swelling or no. A little pain but the main thing it didn't swell my eye up where I got my piercing at on my cheek. I always go to this place. I've been going to this place for like 10 years. It's a great place to go to so try it out“

“Andy runs a fantastic shop that any tattoo enthusiast can get behind. Jake and Jaeger do the best men’s hair cuts in all of the Twin Cities.“

“My Fiancée and I decided last minute to get a tattoo so we called up 7th street and the lady on the phone was quick to answer and told us to swing on over. We got there and were greeted by John who gave us great recommendations on size and placement and a very good quote. John was quick and very professional. Definitely going back for more!“

“First time getting a tattoo from Grease was super quick and I love my ink! Thank you?“

“Amazing staff, super kind. Clean space, offer snacks to clients and water. Great people to talk to and willing to make accommodations. Owner is a great person who clearly cares about her community and providing a space to alternative folks and artists. Highly recommend supporting Hard Headz“
