“Thank you to my artist Jessi Graden for doing such an awesome job on my tiger tattoo! Excited to work with you again soon!“

“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“

“I have gotten 3 tattoos from Lauren and the experience has been incredible each time. Lauren was very accommodating when doing my first ever tattoos (I was extremely anxious). She talked me through everything and had an extremely gentle touch. I get compliments all the time on my tattoos - absolutely love them ❤️“

“This shop and Roger are wonderful. My husband and I each had separate sessions, working with Roger to design similar/related memorial tattoos that worked well for our individual styles and placements. He made sure we both felt comfortable not only with the design, but the overall experience. The shop is very clean, and the rest of the artists were friendly and professional. I have been to a lot of shops and not every one stands out - this one stands out. Thank you, Roger, for the time and care you took to make sure this experience went well and our tattoos turned out amazing!“

“Great experience with Olivia at Minneapolis Tattoo! Everyone was friendly and had good vibes. I will definitely be traveling back from Wisconsin to get more tattoos here.“

“I got 2 piercings (helix and navel) i’m very happy with both! Such an easy process and if I lived in MN I would come here for everything. Thank you :)“

“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.“

“Awesome shop, super welcoming, inviting, and clean. Great vibes, great conversation, and great atmosphere.
My tattoo from Matt looks incredible! I gave him an idea at our consultation and he turned it into something truly special, that looks amazing. Will absolutely be coming back“

“Went into the shop to get a walk-in tattoo. Charlie Mendez was my artist. The shop was clean, everyone was friendly, and Charlie was great!“

“I was @ Wooden Ship Brewery on Saturday, 10 May for their anniversary block party and Nokomis was there with some Flash Tattoo options. I opted for the sun on water. Chris was super friendly and chatted w me as I get chatty when I'm a little out of comfort zone... and as we talked I realized It's been since 2004 that I had a tattoo. I appreciated that he put the outline of the tattoo on my arm and then confirmed that's where I would want it? Unfortunately it was not... just a bit to the left and a bit up, easy enough. I didn't check the time but it sure didn't feel like it took him long at all. The whole process was smooth, not really painful and his table was really comfortable. When the tattoo was done I was told how long to keep my bandage on, given ointment, care instructions, a sticker and told what to put on the tattoo. Thanks Chris for your professional and great service!! I will definitely have to stop in to the shop to browse your other options and see some of your work and get another tattoo! Unfortunately I was too caught up on the goings on @ the brewery that I didn't browse the several shirt options brought w for purchase. I will definitely take a look at the shop. Chris had on a great one...that at first glance I thought was TImberwolves.....haha“

“I had only ever gone to one place for my 5 other tattoos so I was a bit nervous but decided to give Tiger Rose a try. Glad I did. Awesome experience from start to finish. I will definitely be back.

Updated to add: I did go back. And they did amazing work again! I have a third tat from them on the back of my elbow. The photos are present from today. This is how good their work is: the rainbow tat is about 8 years old and the big black one is about 6. They are still looking amazing.“

“My wife and I were on a family vacation and I owed her something for her birthday. We have had multiple pieces done at multiple shops across multiple states and Sea Wolf ranks among the best in our opinion. First thing we noticed walking in was the quick welcoming we got from both artist. Secondly the shop was clean, which is a must for a good shop. Came in Wednesday afternoon and talked with Dave and Jewels and they were able to set us up for the following afternoon. Both artists seemed genuinely excited to do our small pieces(mine was a shop minimum) and seemed to both be on the same page as us on placement and size. Dave packed great solid color and was able to nail the small details on my wife's Pikachu and Jewels' solid, straight, even lines and skin breaks on my Pikachu stencil made it look like a sticker. Couldn't be happier with the overall experience. Plus their pricing matched their quality of work. If your in the area and itching for a bada$$ piece check them out.“

“I was a walk in a year ago. I showed the artist what i wanted and they did it beautifully. 100% worth it, and it looks just as good today as the day that I got it“

“When searching for a place to get a Cardinal for my Grandma I ended up picking the perfect place. Ian was the one to do my tattoo and he made my experience very welcoming and relaxing. He gave me plenty of control over the design and gave full proof he could accomplish whatever I prefer. I am amazed with his talent and design, thank you Ian!“

“The Ink Lab was a perfect place to go for my first piercings. I was nervous asking very basic questions, but Terren was warm and professional and made me feel at home. I know I'll be coming back for future piercings.“

“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.“

“Such a great experience with Ben! He did an amazing job with my tattoo and it was such a pleasant experience overall. Would highly recommend and we will be back!“

“Dan is a legend I asked him to do a piece for me that I wanted for years and he’s mad chill, I can’t wait to see it finished! He’ll be doing my tattoos now forever ? it’s deff worth the price
