My husband got a tattoo with Amo, her work was excellent. She did an amazing job of using the sample illustrations amd combining it with his ideas and what works well with having the tattoo stand out. Can't wait to get mine done there!

So happy they have relocated to a larger space -- they needed it! Female owned, female operated, all female artists. I am heavily tattooed so I've spent over 2000 hours of my life in five other Minneapolis tattoo shops. Unlike the other shops, at Jackalope there is ZERO toxic masculinity, sexual harassment, or other artists ogling my exposed body while I'm being tattooed (under the guise of "checking out the tattoo." My artist, Katie Kroek, is a consummate professional: always on time and ready to tattoo. I've never had to wait around an hour after my appt. start time while she sets up, socializes etc. (Something I was beginning to think was an expected part of tattoo appts.) I am very happy to have discovered Katie and Jackalope. Also, keep in mind that for as much bad behavior I have seen from tattoo artists, I've seen more customers treating the artists poorly and disrespectfully. Be a good customer! If you don't know how to be a respectful tattoo customer, Google it!

Got a small tattoo from a while back, not my first tattoo, anyways she is by far the best tattoo artist I have come across, Jackalope is the way to go. I also have a tattoo from her when she was at another location in white bear lake, always quality work for Emi and her Jackalope crew.

I wish I could rate them as they were my first choice to get my first tattoo at. It was a tattoo to honor someone very special to me- and I was so excited I would have done it the day I walked into the shop. The front desk representative was very nice to talk with, she encouraged me to email a certain artist. I did right away.
Unfortunately, the tattoo artist told me that my design would not reflect her portfolio so she would not take me as a client. This left me super disappointed and feeling very disregarded. At least the front desk representative (who looked at my idea) could have informed me that it would not be taken - I would have then understood. But unless your tattoo will be (quote from the artist) "mostly painterly, large scale work"... then either go to one of their walk in days where you can get something quick or find somewhere else.

I have nothing but love and adoration for this shop and the amazing artists and other staff who keep it alive. I’ve had a good portion of my larger pieces done by various artists here and I’m always happy with their individual creativity. ♥️

This by far is the best tattoo shop in the Twin Cities. When I was looking for my first ink, I went to the “busy place” where you walk in the door and you look at some wall art, then thrown in a chair and an hour or so later, you walk out with the standard tattoo. After this experience, I was very fortunate to meet Emi, through a mutual friend. Emi took the time to get to know me, and what I was looking for. Then Emi went to work, coming up with different conceptual renderings of the tattoo, and then working with me, to personalize and realize my vision. These are true artists who excel in their crafts at Jackalope Tattoo. The wait is worth it. As I am looking forward to my eleventh tattoo and a lifetime client.

Jackalope holds a place deep in my heart for many reasons. However the piece of work I have on my back done by the late Mo Richard, is a most cherished piece of art.
I have watched Jackalope grow through the years. I am proud of the integrity of the manager in standing firm with the values that they want the community they associate with to have. It is imperative that we remain silent no more, for those who are offended by being called out for using derogatory terms, please get used to it. Tolerance for this behavior is less and less.
Bravo Emi for standing up for what is right!!!

I found my favorite artist Jocoba here, and after hearing my dream, she brought it to life!.. And it was far better than I imagined!
I look at my arm all day, every day and I can't believe that you can tattoo like this? It's friggin magic to me and I couldn't be happier.
Plus, while I'm there, everyone is such a tight family there it's so entertaining how everyone opens up and gets so real.
Everyone I've meet there has such distinct styles and personalities... I can't wait to save up and get some more!
Thank you Jacoba and everyone else that makes Jackalope Tattoo the place it is!💞😀🐌

Emi is the absolute BEST! The shop is beautiful and I couldn't be happier with my tattoo. The whole process was so easy. I can't wait to be back this winter!

Katie was incredible! This was my first tattoo and I decided to get it on my rib. Painful! She did a great job keeping me comfortable and distracted, and was incredibly fast without sacrificing quality.
