Everyone here was great! From the front desk (I think her name was Taylor) to our artist (Lana, with a long 'a', not like Archer's girlfriend), the bathrooms, the studios, everything was exactly the way I wanted it to be. They are an all-female shop, so if you've got issues with that I am very, deeply, and sincerely sorry for your loss.
Everything was clean and sanitary. Decor was eclectic but uncluttered, no ridiculous excess hanging around.
*About my artist* Lana was amazing. She is a spectacular designer and artist! She had an incredibly light and deft hand at putting ink to skin; I had very little scabbing, the color is solid, her blacks are black and she can pull a COMPLETELY straight line. I do believe the rest of the crew are just as competent, but go to Lana. If you don't suck as a person in sure she'll take you as a client and you will get one of the best tattoos in the state.

I walked in as a group of three and MPLS Tattoo was very friendly, helpful, and able to accommodate the whole group. It was my first tattoo experience and I am grateful to have come to this shop. Heather was amazing. She did a piece on my ribs and was very knowledgeable, confident, and kind. I felt very comfortable (having it be my first tattoo on my ribs). I love it and the shop!!

Friendly artists and staff. My wife and I got anniversary tattoos done by Lana. Even though ours were simple and not much of a creative project for her, she put a lot of care into the design and making sure we loved the final product. Also, they didn't mind us bringing in a pizza since our appt was right at dinner time. Prices are a bit higher than other places I've been, but this shop has the best atmosphere by far.

I unfortunately did not have a good experience with Nikki. I felt that she did not listen to what I wanted, and was not good at asking questions to help figure out what design I wanted for my tattoo. Perhaps I would have had a better experience if I had prior tattoos or knew more about the process but I didn't and I don't think that she is a really good fit for first time tattoo clients. I am upset that I had spent a total of 9 months of waiting for my tattoo and ended up not feeling comfortable enough with Nikki to go through with it.

So for my first tattoo I chose to come here. I worked with Sarah who is an amazing artist. I love my tattoo so much. She charged me $400 for a really intricate watercolor tattoo when it would normally be $600. Since it was my first experience I had a tough time getting through the pain with my EXTREMELY low pain tolerance and I ended up crying during my session due to the pain. So all of the staff members were so nice and helped me through it, they were so supportive and incredibly kind. I couldn't complete my tattoo with the watercolor effect I had originally planned so she charged me $200. I would without a doubt recommend this place and if I can suck up the pain will come back.

Nikki was awesome. Knowledgable, talented AND fun to work with. Answered all my questions. This was my first bigger tattoo and it looks AMAZING. The rest of the staff was fun as well. Will definitely go back and would definitely recommend!

I loved my tattoo experience at Minneapolis Tattoo Shop. Katie did an amazing job on my tattoo. I brought in an idea of what I wanted and she made it even better. It is exactly what I wanted. I also love the atmosphere. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going back to Minneapolis Tattoo Shop for any future tattoos.

I came in on 8/18 as a walk in. I met with Allison as she had just finished a small tattoo for a young women who couldn't help but share it with everyone. She was stoked. Allison asked me what I was thinking and I showed her a photo. We set up a time later that day have the artwork done. This my first tattoo (at age 64). This piece means a lot to me and the love of my life. Allison, you were great thank you for the great job. I will recommend you! Everyone at the shop was upbeat, staff and customers alike. The shop decor was cool too!

I recently met Heather when a friend of mine got her tiny dino tattoo. And I knew I had to book her. I have been obsessed with fine line and floral work for some time now and wasn't sure I'd find an artist to capture what I was looking for. What was amazing was that I gave her my idea and she came up with a few looks and it was completely custom unlike other artists who want you to provide the picture. I love it so much and she will now be my go to artist for my future pieces - and I have referred her to everyone I know! Thank you Heather! I love my artwork.

I worked with Mackenzie and it was a great experience! She was very professional and kept the session calm and casual which was appreciated. I highly recommend her talent. Looking forward to my next one!
