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!!!“
“My sisters and I stopped by a nearby shop we had called for small matching tattoos and the artist ended up being out sick. They also wanted $250/each for three tiny birds and we weren't able to speak to the artist. Ultimately - we decided to check out other shops in the area and found Grey Duck which ended up being best case scenario! We walked in and were helped immediately by Angel (@angelmontoyatattoos) who was able to get all three of us in for our sister tattoos at $100 a piece! He was kind, laidback, and incredibly patient which I really appreciated. Getting a tattoo is a lifelong commitment and having an artist who says things like "I will re-stencil as many times as we need to get it perfect so take your time and make sure you love the placement!" is SO important. Especially because my sisters are younger I love that they felt comfortable and empowered to make every decision they needed to without pressure! Shop was clean, the vibes were on point, we had a blast, and we left loving the work we got done! I truly couldn't ask for a better walk-in experience.“
“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“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Just had another wonderful tattoo experience at Guns N Needles! Roger is truly the best and does a wonderful job making people feel comfortable (and obviously does wonderful tattoos). Elated with my experience on each level!“
“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.“
“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.“
“I have 6 tattoos and I’ve gotten my last 4 from Aloha Monkey. Let me tell you that there is a reason why I always come back here. Very friendly tattoo artists, all of them! They make you feel comfortable as if you were one of the staff even. Very clean and spacious studio. This time for my 6th tattoo, I had Matt. I did not know what I was going to get until he showed me his stencil of my tattoo. He was very accommodating to my ideas at the same time gave me professional input. After the tattoo, I was mind blown by the amount of detail. He did a fantastic job and it may be my favorite tattoo I have. If you ever want great detailing with a tattoo definitely see Matt! Amazing amazing amazing!!
Also I got my belly button pierced here and they’re exactly the same as their tattoo artists.. professional, clean, knowledgable and hard working to make your experience the best.“
“Tommy did such a wonderful job with my tattoo of something in my dad’s handwriting and was a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much!Service: Tattoos“
“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!“
“Canvas Prior Lake is a great shop. The artists are all welcoming, very talented, and collaborative. They do a great job scheduling appointments and operating their business. Love the vibe in the shop.
Requested style: Black and grey landscape, which turned out awesome.
Cleanliness: Shop is super-clean and the staff are all very tidy and health and safety focused.“
“I called early in the day and they had an appointment available same day which was awesome and very convenient. We got there and the service was great and my tattoo artist (Ron-but goes by Ronny) helped me make a design with images I had ready for him. He was fantastic! As this was my first tattoo I was nervous, but he helped me feel relaxed and I trusted he’d do a good job. If you go you will be thrilled I am completely satisfied with my results. ASK FOR RON!“
“Quick, painless, professional, beautiful, heartfelt and meaningful.. Thank you!Services: Tattoo cover-ups & reworkings“
“Jeremy was very nice, did a wonderful job and did it quickly while still paying great attention to details on my tattoo. I highly recommend working with him and look forward to my next one. The shop is really clean & cool looking on the inside. Thank you very much Jeremy!“
“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!“
“My mom and I both got our tattoos here and love them! One of mine was even done free hand here it turned out great.“
“Matt was amazing! I’ve got two tattoos from him and he is so professional and easy going. Endlessly patient with the placement and really sweet dude. I get tons of compliments on the tattoos He did. Already can’t wait to get my next ink from him!“
“The artists are laid back, friendly, and talented. I've gotten work done here twice, and I'll be back again.“
“Brandon's tattoos look like stickers!! Any time I am out and they are visible I get compliments on them. Fabulous experience from our first walk-in (the only shop we called that had walk-ins available that day) to my most recent session. Prices are high but the quality makes it worth it. By far my favorite pieces I have! Will definitely be back. All the artists work looks spectacular. The atmosphere is fantastic, I could sit and chat with these guys all day ?
Stylist: Brandon is awesome ?“
“I was nervous to go, but Julie made me feel very comfortable and took the time to make sure my brows were how I wanted them to be. I could not have asked for a better experience, as I had to go back and get them redone, since I have oily skin and she got me as soon as she could and now they are perfect!! I highly recommend going to her if you are thinking about getting your brows done. She is the best!!“
