You're probably wondering what sets our shop apart from other tattoo shops in the area. The answer is easy; our staff has been chosen for their unique and personal art style, commitment, and dedication to their work. Our artists are setting the standards that other studios try to follow, but have yet to achieve. We have gone above and beyond the requirements of the MN Dept. of Health when it comes to our procedures and we've been doing it like that since before they even had licensing in Minnesota. Everything we do, is drawn up just for you! Unlike other shops, we have no flash art. We want you to come to us with a design in mind, and you can let our artists do the rest. We want you to walk out of our shop with an original design, not some cookie cutter design that's been picked off of a wall and stamped on to hundreds of people. A tattoo is about having your own unique art that holds a special meaning to you, something that is as unique as you are. Your experience should be something you will remember, not something you try to forget.
No matter what idea or style you have in mind for your next piercing or tattoo, our versatile staff will be sure to accommodate you. We're open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, Noon until 8:00pm. If you would like to setup a consultaion or meet an artist, give us a call at 507-208-4465 and we'll get you setup for an appointment! If you would like to look through our art, you can check out each artists work here. When you come in, you'll see for yourself, that quality is our first priority.
