“Called and made an appointment same day for a septum piercing. Once you arrive immediately you can tell it’s a very clean and well run establishment. Alex was setting up as I filled out my paperwork. Once I was finished he was ready too. Super nice guy and very knowledgeable. I knew right away I was in good hands. He explained the entire process before hand so I knew exactly what was going to happen. He showed me all the tools and how everything was sterile. During the piercing he made sure I was okay after each step. Gave clear instructions to me on what I needed to do (breathing, close my eyes). I went in at 4:00pm and was done by 4:20pm. By far a great experience and how fast it went was amazing. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking to get a piercing.“
“amazing experience. went for a walk in and they were so welcoming. the artist was attentive and blew my expectations away. can’t wait to go back!
Cleanliness: very clean shop, the booths were wiped and sanitized after each client that I saw.“
“This is my first commissioned tattoo. Cory took my ideas and made my tattoo. This was my first session and I will require at least one more to finish the dragon scales and add cherry blossoms and a metal look to the badge. He was awesome and patient with my nervousness. I recommend Cory to anyone and especially beginners! I've gone to many flash tattoo sessions and I've never had a bad experience. I'm very skeptical of the bad reviews on here. I have two daughters and a son in law that also come here and they also have had Citi, who is also great! Definitely recommend Mafia Ink, Spring Lake Park, MN. Note: tattoo is only half done.“
“Cleanliness: Very clean establishment
Stylist: S/O to my girl Hallie she did my nipples piercing and I’m going back to have my industrial piercing done“
“Overall I had a good experience. The artist that worked with me Nick was quick and professional and on point. He came up with a design of what I wanted that was simple and easy to work on. I’m hoping to go back to add more to the piece down the road and really make it a complete leg.“
“Rach is amazing! She takes my sort of vague ideas and makes them into masterpieces, I will follow her anywhere. Bonus, she’s hilarious, easy to talk to, and comforting.“
“Shout out to Jake Olson for doing an excellent job on my tattoo. From email to arm it’s been an amazing experience working with you. The tattoo is out of the world amazing! I am so happy with it, thank you again.
The shop is nice and clean, with a talented and professional staff. Can’t wait to come back for my next one
Cleanliness: Super clean shop“

“Found this place on yelp a year ago - been going to see Sol every month since. Great craftsman and beautiful work.“
“I have gotten my back to the point of almost done and the work has been top notch … price point great. Friendly staff Will be back“
“Couldn't have found a better place for my first tattoo. Todd is a great man, super friendly, and my tattoo turned out amazing. Highly recommend.“
“Highly highly recommended. Jeff and the staff at Uptown Tattoo are the best.
Jeff's talent and work are incredible. Jeff is careful and meticulous (something you obviously want with a permanent tattoo) and takes great care, even with the simplest of designs or even text. In my case, Jeff did some initial work on my right arm at an event held at the shop, and it went so well that I came back a few weeks later for a similar one on my left.
It's not to say that the artists that did my prior work weren't any good, just that Jeff's work was better, for many reasons.
First, Jeff took great care and time to align the two tats so that they matched on each arm and were in sync with each other. Jeff knows just what pressure to use so that the inking is well done without any additional "pain."
Best of all, Jeff is simply an awesome human being. Friendly, nice, outgoing, and professional.
If this is your first time getting inked or then next on a walking canvas, Jeff is who you want putting that permanent person statement on your most precious possession, your bod.
Quality work and fair prices. Be sure to tip well, Jeff's work and talent are deserving of the "extra bump."
Highly-Highly recommended.
Bonus 6-Star for exceptional quality and experience.
Cleanliness: Very clean and safe shop in Uptown.
Right behind (door on the side) Bob's Java Hut off of Hennepin Ave. Best to call and make an appointment. I've heard walk-ins may be available on Fridays on a space available basis.“
“What an amazing experience with one of the greatest tattoo artists I’ve ever met. Walking in the shop is nice and clean. The decor is not your classic clip art all over. I met with Winfield on doing a Chicago dog tattoo. He put together a great looking Chicago dog making sure it was the right angle and proper placement on my arm. During the session he had great music playing and was a great conversationalist. The placement on my arm kept my arm in an awkward position and Winfield was very accommodating to me having to stretch my arm. The tattoo turned out better than I could have imagined. The colors were on point from the bright green relish to the amazing detail in the tomato, pickles and bun. From start to finish it was a great experience. I will only be tattooed here and by Winfield!“
“Amanda is awesome, my wife and I got our anniversary tattoos with her and it was an awesome experience! Very clean environment and she's very personable!“
“Luke is an amazing artist! I get so many compliments on my tattoo he did! Also piercing for my daughter was the best!“
“Martzia did a cover up for me on an old tattoo and omg it’s amazing. She is awesome! She’s so personable and friendly , it was my first time meeting her and getting a tat and it seriously felt like I’ve known her forever, she was so welcoming. My tattoo is so perfect and she was fast and has a lot of talent! I will def be going back to her again:)“
“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!“
“Art did such an amazing job on my girls. I watch my daughters for the first time sit like pros with smiles and laughter in there souls. They did better then me. Lol! I had the ear gun and they had the needle without the gun. The Minnesota way.. Art was very clam and patient, took his time, explained all the dog's & don't.. My babies have been through the most and on this day, they ear piecing party with Mr. Art was amazing.. Thank you Mr. Art. for making smiles come true.“
“Jenny the owner is an amazing artist. She does great work and has tons of experience. Highly recommend her. The other artists there are easy-going and friendly. It’s a very comfortable environment.
Requested style: She worked with the picture that I wanted, even though it was very detailed.
Cleanliness: Super clean, always wore gloves and was very considerate to clean the tattoo area many times.“
“I have three pieces by Helen (soon to be four) and honestly, if I won the lottery, I'd give her free reign on my whole body. Her work is so gorgeous and detailed, I get complimented on it all the time and every time I stop to look at my body, it makes me smile. And her style is so distinct, it's like a secret handshake. Whenever I run into someone with a Helen piece, I always talk to them and people do the same with me - instant friendship.Plus, she's just an awesome person and an incredibly professional artist. It all adds up to a win-win situation.Services: Color ink tattoos“
“Majority of my sleeve was done by Elisa and I would keep going back to her over and over again (because she is now my artist and I claim her as such lol). She does Amazing Ladies and Florals and great Black & Greys. Shop is clean and quiet, they are professional, prices are reasonable and they let you pick your Netflix show :)
Requested style: Ladies, Florals, Cover-ups“
“The artists are laid back, friendly, and talented. I've gotten work done here twice, and I'll be back again.“
“THIS IS A HONEST REVIEW, My artist was really patient and nice. Honestly the whole environment was amazing. They would constantly check up on how I was doing and always hype me up. They made me honestly feel welcomed and cared that it was my first tattoo. My tattoo took about 7-8 hours, and it started at 12 ended at 7:30. I was really hungry and didn’t eat nothing the whole day and they would offer me food and buy food for not only themselves but for the customers as well. I was also very indecisive because it was my first tattoo but everything worked out fine because of how patient my artist was with me. He doesn’t half ass it and he took his time with detailing it nicely and the shading also shows why his artwork is different. My artist was Steven and his Instagram is Ven.inkz his artwork looks like this
Requested style: Anime“
