Mecca Tattoo

Beautiful and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are friendly and kind, my social anxiety didn't have a chance. Had some scars covered up with a decent size piece, and the artist was excellent. Very happy with my experience and their beautiful artwork. Definitely will be a returning client!

I went pretty big for a first tattoo and the entire staff was amazing from start to finish! They were nice, supportive, and honest if something wouldn't work or needed to be clarified from me. Amazing shop! John killed it!

Friendly atmosphere N Knowledgeable staff

Haven't been there yet, but their work looks amazing.

Kelsey fit me in last minute while I was in Mankato for work. Their customer service is amazing, the shop itself is super clean and really neat. Kelsey’s attention to hygenics was 10/10. I got 3 fine line lettering tattoos and they look amazing. I’ll definitely be back.

Loved my experience there, the staff is very friendly! I ended up having to reschedule my appointment and they were very helpful getting a new date set up. The artist who did my tattoo did excellent work and was super professional. Will be going back for my future tattoos

Tired to get in contact w them for an estimate on a tattoo, called and emailed them, no response for half a week

Would NEVER recommend anyone to this shop. They are highly unprofessional and rude. I had my artist replace my image twice and he simply said he couldn’t do my tattoo because I was being too picky. He then continued to get up and went over to another co-worker to talk badly about me all while I was still there. After being treated this way it made me never want to get a tattoo again. Now after being to other shops I have realized how your tattoo experience should be and how you should be treated. I’m writing this review because I simply don’t want someone else to be scarred like I was by this place. Great shops/artists are out there but this isn’t the place.

I got my very first tattoo here in 2020, for my graduation. I had Trent as my artist. It was a simple 2-3 inch tattoo, all linework, 2 colors. Trent wasn't very friendly, didn't take time to explain very much to me and spent 15 minutes total on my tattoo. I understand that I brought in my own design and it was relatively simple but he was careless and there are several parts of the tattoo that are smushed together because he wanted to just get it done. I asked before I sat down if I could have pink as my second color and he told me no, there isn't such a thing as pink ink, and no he cannot mix a pink, so I ended up getting red. I recently went to a new shop to get a quote and after talking about my first tattoo experience they told me 1. Pink ink is definitely a thing and it was odd he refused. 2. I was overcharged as a first time client who didn't know any better for a small tattoo. (This is something I cant confirm, but other people I know have multiple larger and more detailed tats for the price I paid here, from reputable shops like black coffin. Maybe the shop minimum here is higher and thats the reason? But every time I tell people how much I was charged they gasp and tell me I shouldnt have gone to whatever shop I went to.) I didn't want to say anything because I didn't think it was that bad, and I know this is a well loved small business, but I would not recommend Trent and I did not have a very good first experience here. I didnt realize how bad it was until I went to a different shop and the artist was kind, helpful, explained things and worked with me on everything, which was the opposite of the experience I had here.

My boyfriend went in for a consultation and they were rude and seemed lazy as if they did not want to do the design. Which is fine but definitely wouldn’t get a tattoo here.

Awesome experience like always thanks Kelsie your awesome!

Went here for my first tattoo, the place was clean and professional. Kelsey was my tattoo artist and she did an amazing job!

Very cool artist with awesome hair. Great shading in the part I wanted! 👏

Tom Earhart tattoos are amazing. Good folks here, too

This place is awesome! I had Trent for my first ever tattoo, and he was very professional and friendly! He kept me calm even though I was very nervous, and he kept a very clean and professional environment as well! They also have reptiles, which was awesome too! Very clear on the after care instructions, and was very reasonably priced! Definitely will go again!

Unprofessional business. cancelled my appointment several times when I had take time off work to travel an hour to get the the shop. Messaged me over Facebook messager to tell me my appointment was cancelled. Didn't read the message till I got there. Then I Reschedule appointment for 2 months later and then canceled that appointment 3 hrs before appointment because artist wasn't prepared. Poor service. Wouldn't recommend

Kelly has done many many tattoos for me over the years, and every time I come back to the shop it feels homey and familiar. Receptionists are always helpful and efficient, prices are fair, tattoos are QUALITY!

Ive gotten a tattoo with kelsey before ans she was amazing, maybe a little shy but thats fine and i loved my tattoo and ive recently been trying to get another but everytime ive tried to get in contact with the store either via email or phone theyve not picked up or returned my call and they replied once via email and then ghosted me so all in all they have terrible customer service and communication skills. Kelsey you get 4 stars but mecca id give you negetive stars if i could.

I've received work from Tom and Trent at Mecca and they have both been great. Best shop in Kato.

Had Kelsey, did a wonderful job. She was very quick and explained the process to me.
