Tattoo Shops near Columbia Heights

“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“

“Such a great experience! This was my first tattoo and I felt so comfortable every step of the way. Jers took the image in my brain and made it a reality, and he did it so quickly! It took just a couple hours for the design and tattoos for both myself and my friend. This was about five weeks ago, the tattoos have healed beautifully and I completely understand why people get addicted to this! Definitely won't be my last visit here.“

“Abbie did an excellent job on my tattoo and kept it interesting with good conversation … I’ll definitely be going back.“

“I first met leo about a year ago. We sat and went over my idea for my very first tattoo. He was able to take my ideas and turn it into an amazing first piece on my forearm. Since then, I’ve already been back three times and now have a one of a kind, insanely dope half sleeve. I’m looking forward to my next appointment in September. His style is exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend checking out Leo at supreme Art Of War if you’re looking to get a really dope tattoo!

Requested style: Realism

Specialties: Leo

Cleanliness: Very Clean“

“Got a tattoo 4-5 years ago that was not done very well at all. Been embarrassed by it for quite some time. Called Hung's and was able to get in for a quick consult for reworking my tattoo. The second he started rattling off ideas - I knew I was in the right spot. Few weeks later got in (bigger tattoo). Can't believe what a great job he did basically redoing most of it. Highly recommend this place - great people - great work!“

“Wish I could give more stars!!! The ppl at the counter are always friendly and informative. My son and I went to get septum piercings and my son got his nostril done too. Hannah is our piercer and we could not be more happy!! She is absolutely AMAZING!! Our experience was so good! She is kind, patient, informative, gentle, and just all around dope af!! Plus her follow up is everything, she actually gives af about you and your piercing!! If you're looking to get pierced, Hannah is your lady!!! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!!! Thank you Hannah! We appreciate you SO much! You're truly the best!!“

“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.“

“Got my first tattoo here yesterday & had a great experience!! Jason was my tattoo artist- he was pretty quick & it turned out better than I had imagined!! Gotten so many compliments too. He was very accommodating to the vision I had, while also providing other great ideas. I highly recommend- He books out far but his work is totally worth the wait! Thank you Sea Wolf + Jason!!!“

“Just had my eye liner done by Kay. She is truly an artist. I am so happy with the results. Wish I would have done it years ago.“

“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.“

“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.“

“David Dettloff is an amazing tattoo artist!  I chose him for his unique style and beautiful, photorealistic color tattoos, as well as his ability to do cover-ups.

From the beginning, David has been friendly, communicative, and knowledgeable. During our consultation, he explained why my original idea didn't work well and instead designed a beautiful, custom tattoo that covered up my old ink. I am so happy with the results!

The Ink Lab is a great shop. It’s very clean and comfortable, and in a nice neighborhood.“

“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“

“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.“

“This place is AWESOME! I've been tattooed here twice now. Big thanks to Jesse Heike this time for the amazing new tattoo!

Cleanliness: By far the cleanest shop I've ever been in. They put a lot into client safety which means so, so much to me!“

“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!“
