“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!!“
“Abbie did an excellent job on my tattoo and kept it interesting with good conversation … I’ll definitely be going back.“
“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 went to Daniel Listo this past weekend for a family tattoo. I lost touch with my prior artist and was nervous about getting a tattoo from a new person. I am very, very pleased with tattoo I got from Listo. After giving him a general idea of what I wanted, he sent me several sketches that really nailed the concept. The finished product is exactly what I was hoping for. Also, Listo paid attention to my existing tattoos to make sure my new piece balanced well against what I already have. I will absolutely go back for additional tattoos and would highly recommend Listo to friends and family.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Quick, painless, professional, beautiful, heartfelt and meaningful.. Thank you!Services: Tattoo cover-ups & reworkings“
“I love the tattoo and love the artist and love the facility...it made me feel comfortable with good music...it wasn't Gothic or death type of environment but a peaceful and warm environment...I love the whole experience and love my buddy Johnson & johnson“
“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!“
“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“
“This is a great environment to get a tattoo. Nikki does amazing work.
Cleanliness: This shop is really clean and well put together.“
“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“
“Went to another store for a walk in and was quoted 300 and left. Came here on a whim and I’m so relieved we did. The whole vibe and experience was so much better. My cousin and I had different artists and they were such funny people. I can’t say enough how amazing it was from start to finish. Piecing together the ideas and sizing it and placing it. Everything was super comfortable. The owner fit me in even though he was supposed to be piercing people because I said I had a time crunch. Paid 180 for this compared to the 300 we were quoted before. I’ll be coming back here for all future work.“
“I had my 2nd eyebrow apptment in 2 years with Heidi today. She is an artist! Absolutely the most beautiful work I’ve ever seen. The number of complements I receive on my brows is crazy!Thanks, Heidi!!“
“Janel has become my regular artist and she is beyond kind, compassionate, talented, and skilled. I wait so eagerly for their flash that my husband even got in on the hype. He was tattooed by Sarah and was blown away by the experience. Excellent shop and excellent people.
Cleanliness: Extremely clean and conscious shop. I feel very safe and supported while here.“
“Very friendly and nice Randy is a very cool person and funny I got 2 tats done by him and I will keep coming back
Requested style: I told him what I wanted and he asked me what style I wanted my tat in and asked if I wanted color
Cleanliness: The shop is clean and smells nice“
“Such a wonderful shop & artists. They are very professional, the space is clean and the artist are easy to work with. It's a cozy with a laid back atmosphere. I am extremely comfortable as a woman getting tattooed here. Gab has done mine and I absolutely love her work & can't wait to get more. She's great company too for those long sessions which is so important too.“
“Great place! The staff was very knowledgeable and really cared about the quality and longevity of their work. This was my first tattoo and they walked me through the process, told me what would work and what wouldn’t. I felt very comfortable having them do the tattoo. The studio was colorful, clean, and inviting. Sky was an excellent artist, patient, and made sure that I had my design just the way I wanted it. She made me feel like I could be apart of the process and allowed me to bring my idea to life!“
“Dusty was amazing! Made the perfect tattoo in honor of our daughter Freya ❤️ Thank you!“
