Tattoo Asylum

Just had a tattoo done here and the experience was great. The staff was all fun to chat with and they took a lot of time making sure the design was exactly what I wanted. They suggested improvements I wouldn't have though of from my idea but left it completely up to me to decide. The attention to detail was great and I couldn't be happier about the end result. I will be back without a doubt!!

I went here one night on a weekday, one artist was on. An apprentice, this was my first tattoo so I was naieve on the processes and what a healed tatt should look like. First of all, the young man, I won't mention his name.... but I do know it.... convinced me it was a bad idea to get a tattoo near my ankle bone and talked me into getting the tattoo on my foot. I reluctantly agreed, I figured that the artist knows best. Boy was I wrong. That should have been my first sign to walk out the door. I was made to feel like my tattoo idea is dumb, my placement idea is dumb and that the artist knows of a better location or assumes I can't handle the pain of the location I originally chose. The tattoo when finished looked awful, but at the time, I didn't know it as it was my first tattoo. The lines looked like a kindergartener was learning to draw on my foot and the lines were blurred. Today, I know this was a bad blowout. I went a few weeks later to get a touch up, my artist was not even there and the apprentices teacher had to do my touch up. After the touch up the lines were still blurred, I could tell the second artist could see the first one messed up and was trying to fix it, but to no avail. I went to another shop and got a huge coverup which I am still unhappy with and I can Still see the lines of the original tattoo. Had my tattoo been in the original location I had asked for when I walked in the door and had not been blown out I would not be so disappointed today with this mess on my foot. I am writing this over a year and a half later because the business deseves this review.

Came in for the first time to get a tatt and to get one fixed.. tony was awesome, my tatt came out great and the one he fixed looks amazing now.. already have my next appointment set up with tony..

My first tattoo I got there a few years ago was awesome... Went back for an easy tat and the artist messed it up twice.. It was a simple semi colon ; colored in with purple.. Won't even go back to get it fixed.

So I visit Coon Rapids once a year. I got a tattoo from an artist there, who took forever to actually get it finished. Tried several stations and several guns to find out that the needle was dull. Upon healing it looked horrible!! I returned to Coon Rapids today and called to find out that I would actually have to pay to have the touch up done. PAY for a horrible job to get fixed?!?! Wow... I think that a shop should eat the cost of it to make the tattoo look good. Customer Service is everything. I will not be sending anyone there way.. And may just file a small claim court case for the cost that it will take for me to get the tattoo fixed.

Tony will forever be my go to artist!! I’ve gotten 7 out of my 8 tattoos done by him and he never disappoints.

Between Benny and Winfield you will find who you need to create what you need! Love this place, and they have a second location with a beauty/ Hair Salon as well as tattoos, called Hair Asylum ! Highly recommend!

Joined my friend & her siblings in getting tattoos, their artist was Jay & he was super nice & accomodating & his work is excellent highly recommend him & I will probably go back to get some of his artwork myself!

Went there for a cover up and couldn't be more happy. Tony is very talented at what he does and the price if very reasonable. I won't be going anywhere else!

Tony is amazing. I’ve had 4 tattoos by him and am going to do another soon.
