Mutiny Tattoo and Piercing

I went with hope, left with a bad impression.

See update at the bottom.

I was here to get a tattoo with my wife. The two of us were on a date and exploring the Twin Cities. We called a head to find out if they had openings. They did.

While here, we had our sleeping infant with us. We were told by the staff that the owner had something against children in his shop. It was 98 F out. We were not about to leave a child in the car, nor have one of us wait in the car. Our child was sleeping as we wanted something small (2"x2") that wasn't very complex. We talked to the artist who was available. He said he'd check with the owner. The owner kept hiding in the back instead of coming to the front to deal with us.

The artist had started sketching a tattoo design for us. We were very pleased with his preliminary sketches.

After about 15 minutes, the owner came close enough to the front for the artist to talk to him. The owner delegated to the artist to refuse service since we had our child with us. The owner refused to talk to us himself.

The place was empty and we were told they didn't have any appointments for a few hours.

I wouldn't write this review if the owner had had the guts to come talk to me himself. I feel sorry for the artist who had a sweet design that we couldn't get because the owner.

Based on my impressions of the owner, I would not recommend this place. I hope the employees find a better tattoo parlor where their drive and skills are better used.

UPDATE:
The owner did respond to this review, but still didn't have the balls to talk to me directly while I was in the shop. I do not believe it reflects well on the owner's character.

Also, I don't buy the response about children being unpredictable. When you have chairs in private rooms and a separate waiting room, there's no way a 4 month old would be a distraction. Especially to a professional artist.

Came for a trip to the cities and called around 4-5pm to ask if we could do a walk in. Was told not to come until 730 because everybody was busy doing tattoos. I asked if I could come any earlier we were told not to come and nobody would tattoo us until 730. We showed up after driving 30+ minutes just to be told at the door that they couldn’t do it and they wanted to schedule us the next day. I don’t see what’s the point of telling somebody to come in at a certain time just to be told they can’t help us. To top it off the workers seemed annoyed and didn’t even want to help us.

Walked in with an idea and jason did an amazing job bringing it to life!! Great personality would definately recommend 🙂

Great experience and absolutely love the tattoo, definitely will be going back

I went to Mutiny for a tattoo cover up. They suggested that I go to Alex Morse for it, he ended up being incredible, nice, and easy to work with. The shop as a whole will make suggestions for your tattoo to make it better for design purposes and/or for you as the individual. I have been back for more tattoos since because I really trusted him as an artist for my other ideas that I wanted done.

I also noticed how clean and well kept the shop is, which is something you look for in a tattoo shop as well.

This space exceeded any expectations as a tattoo shop and more, the staff is wonderful and easy to talk to about anything tattoo/piercing, they have a ton of piercing merchandise and will help you with just about anything you need!

Hands down, this is the only shop I will go to anymore. The staff are talented, helpful, funny and welcoming. They are patient and make sure you get what you are looking for . Ashley does amazing work, and is by far the most down to earth artist I have ever had! I am a client for life.

my friend and I decided last minute to randomly go and get piercings done 😎. She got her tongue pierced, and the man who pierced my lip was quick and efficient. When it was discovered a couple days later that the piercing was not in the right place (after the swelling went down) he removed it, told me to come back in a few weeks at no charge to repierce. I'm heading there today...they get you in/out , and on your way😉! Love it!

I’ve gotten multiple tattoos done here by Ashley and Jason. Both amazing artists, and very focused on their work while tattooing. All the artists give great advice and suggestions, and really know their stuff when it comes to color layout.

Couldn’t recommend this place enough 👌🔥

My friend and I stopped here on our way through Minneapolis, me to get my second ear piercing and her to get her nose done, and it was great!

We both were pierced by Selina and she did a great job. She was professional and personable and did a great job with both of us. The shop was clean ad had a great vibe to it as well, I would definitely recommend it!

The only downside is that they take cash only and we didn't know that ahead of time, but the store next door has an atm.

Mutiny is my FAVORITE place to get tattooed. I get tattooed by Jason Donnor, and he does a wonderful job. My fiancé, and our entire family get tattooed by Jason. I highly recommend him. Jason is great to chat with, and makes the whole situation very comfortable. I also love everyone who works at the shop. I have had quite a few conversations with Benny, as well as Lucky. Than just side chat here and there with the other artists. I do not have a single complaint about any of them. If you want to get a tattoo or piercing, Mutiny is the place to go!
