The Bee's Nest Tattoo and Art Studio

I've emailed everyone on the staff twice, the only person to return my email said she wouldn't tattoo me because the job wasn't expensive enough. I've tried calling at least five times and haven't gotten an answer. There is no option to leave a message. Completely unprofessional.

This is an awesome place to get some ink. All of the artists here are amazing artists! Steph has done killer work on my hands twice now.

I’ve been to several tattoo studios by now but Bee’s Nest has continued to be the standout best place!

Their vibe is so incredibly unique from other places, if you walked in there you’d immediately get it. It’s not your typical rough and tumble, almost intimidating tattoo place but it’s a lot more low key, and I guess spiritual? is how I’d say.

Another cool thing, it’s completely female owned and all of the tattoo artists and the piercer are women. Girl power!! Steph is my lady, and she is SO TALENTED. Just saying that she is an unbelievably skilled artist is only putting it lightly and not giving her the justice she deserves. She is truly in the right industry. She’s also just so nice and down to earth so you feel very comfortable from the get go.

Steph’s section of the shop has a ton of her watercolor paintings hung up, and I usually just stare in awe at those most of my appointments because they’re awesome. Most of the artists have their own art hung up all around the shop which is super cool in my opinion.

Just take a look at some of the work Steph’s done on me, and you should see just what I’m saying. When she worked on the gems on my arm, she used this special technology to make the gems black and white outlines, and she said she looks at them a specific way, in which she’s been trained, in order to bring them to life. It was just so fascinating to me and I know I can trust her with anything. She’s done half of my tattoos and I’ll keep going to her as long as I am able or anytime I’m in town.

She’s great at designing ink as well. I had an idea for a tattoo I really wanted but wasn’t quite sure how to make it all come together. I told her what I was thinking and she helped turn it into an amazing tat that I get tons of compliments on. I really can’t say enough good things about Steph and all the rest of the gals at Bee’s Nest. If the other women aren’t tattooing they’ll come say hi during my appointments a lot and chat and they are all just so sweet and welcoming. I love this place!

These ladies are so fun to be around. Tanna has such a beautiful and unique art style, which happens to be perfect for me! I will continue to travel to see her.

I LOVE the Bee's Nest, I just moved and I will probably fly back for more tattoos. The octopus is Tanna's original art, the other bigger piece is Steph's, and Hannah added the watercolor to my smaller wrist piece. I constantly get asked who did my tattoos, and I couldn't recommend them more strongly.

The shop is super inviting. The artwork is amazing. And the tattoo artist that I went to, Shelly, did an amazing job. She took something I had, made it amazing, and added onto it and made it all flow together so nicely. I will definitely be going back.

I have had my daith, flat, and septum pierced by Brittany and each piercing has been a fantastic experience. She is super nice and accommodating, and she does great work! I love all my jewelry pieces especially because they are anodized in-house to any color I’d like. The shop environment is also super cool and they have a good jewelry selection.

So amazing! I've been driving all the way up to Fargo from the Twin Cities to get tattoos from Steph for years. Great vibes, better art! We collaborated on everything for my sleeve, making it more meaningful and unique. And besides being incredible artists, everyone there is down to earth cool and really fun to be around. That's important when you're stuck in a chair for hours getting inked!

These ladies do an amazing job of working alongside you to take your tattoo vision and make it into a beautiful piece of artwork. I've been there multiple times for tattoos and piercings, and I'll keep going back!!

I got my second lobe piercings with Brittany and it was a great experience! She definitely makes you feel at ease and is a total pro. The piercing was less painful and less tender than when I got my first lobe piercings with a “gun”. Despite having previous piercings, she was sure to review aftercare with me.

Highly recommend!
