Fantastic experience: I just finished getting my first tattoo here from Roger, and it was a great experience! He was very clear when explaining how the tattooing process works, including the healing process, and I couldn’t be happier with the final result. Very clean shop!

Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo done here yesterday. Clean store, friendly staff, great communication about pricing and relatively quick appointment. My new tattoo looks awesome and if I get another one while I’m still in the area, I’ll definitely come back here. Travis specifically was great though everyone there was very friendly.

Marie Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Fabian on instagram about a Naruto toad tattoo, no expectations just kinda up to him for artistic direction. He produced something so amazing! He has a great eye for black n white tattoos and incorporating negative space and shading. Definitely worth every penny!!

Allison N Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great tattoo shop! So easy to book and get in. Place was very cute and clean. Tattoo artists were incredible. My tattoo was exactly what I wanted, they were friendly, informative, and fun to chat with. At the end of the appointment they gave detailed care instruction and even sent a little baggy home with care items. Would absolutely get another tattoo here.

Kyle Trenberth Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Fabian was great. It was my first and he was amazing. Place was clean and organized.

Leigh Langum Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Anna snuck me into her schedule and did a fantastic job! I kind of knew what I wanted and we figured it out together. It's been a few days and the ink looks great. Thank you so much Anna! It was an absolute pleasure being tattooed by you!

Cate Andrews Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Was tattooed by Fabian and had a great experience from start to finish!

Matthew Gillespie Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Fabian Galaz is a top-tier artist. I went to Fabian with nothing more than an idea and a back-of-the-napkin drawing of what I wanted to do that looked like it could have been done by a child, and Fabian brought it to life. Fabian invested a ton of his own time to develop a design that captured (and improved upon) everything I hoped to do. Fabian was a patient, meticulous, thorough, and professional artist and is an all-around great guy. The end result was a tattoo that goes way beyond what I could have hoped; clean lines, great design, easy process. I cannot recommend him him highly enough.

Joe Halverson Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best tattoo shop in town!! Friendly, fun, professional, clean and inviting. Roger is one cool dude and a talented artist. You can tell how much he cares about his craft from his attention to detail and the effort put into every aspect of the overall experience. The tattoo itself(8 hours) healed up really well thanks in part to the aftercare products and instruction provided. The staff and other artists I met were all very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Very cohesive group of artists in this shop.

Angela McLaughlin Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: This shop and Roger are wonderful. My husband and I each had separate sessions, working with Roger to design similar/related memorial tattoos that worked well for our individual styles and placements. He made sure we both felt comfortable not only with the design, but the overall experience. The shop is very clean, and the rest of the artists were friendly and professional. I have been to a lot of shops and not every one stands out - this one stands out. Thank you, Roger, for the time and care you took to make sure this experience went well and our tattoos turned out amazing!

Shane Hallow Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Best tattoo shop in Minneapolis!! Great atmosphere and awesome artists! I have had a good chunk of work done here and have always had a great experience. I would recommend this shop always !

A Ellis Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Great shop! Travis does amazing work.

Krona Haas Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I came to Roger a couple years ago to get my first tattoo ever to honor a friend that had passed. It was my first tattoo ever and I was very nervous about the whole thing; I'm not good with pain. Roger reassured me and walked me through every step of the process. He took what could have been a rough experience and turned it into a memorable one. So much so, that I got him to do my second one. I cannot recommend him enough. Great guy, immaculate professional, and a fantastic artist to boot.

Hannah Horrigan Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Went in as a walk-in and they were super accommodating, kind and quick! Eryn had awesome recommendations for places in the area to check out and was just all around such an easy person to be around! The work was well done and the space was clean. Happy we stumbled upon it and would definitely go back. Thanks, guys!

Zach Farrington Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome little shop, great atmosphere, fantastic people. We were walk-ins, Shane is a great dude and got us right in. Loved talking to him while he was doing his thing. Tattoo came out perfect. Highly recommend.

Crystal Gunderson Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo on my 18th birthday by Anna and she did an absolutely wonderful job. For it being my first ever experience, she was very easy going and helpful for me nervousness, and portrayed exactly what I wanted through her own sketch!

Beckie Greninger Published on Google 11 months ago

Jamie Hilden Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Anna did two tattoos on me last year that are absolutely perfect. I since got another tattoo elsewhere that I ended up not as happy with and she fit me in quickly and fixed it into something I love. Great service, nice shop, talented artists. My go to spot now! ✨️

Jersey James Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: What a GREAT experience at this shop!!! Shane was awesome!!! I text the shop this morning about a simple FRIENDS tattoo for me and my good friend for her bday. The immediate response back, the availability, the greeting upon entry to shop offered a beverage, the whole atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for!! Thank you for your kindness, knowledge and time, we will be back!!

Tori Yates Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: absolutely amazing place! I called to see if they’d have any room to fit me in the night before wanting to set something up. Everyone there was so nice! I was offered water or sprite when I got in. Shane did my tattoo and asked me questions to make sure the tattoo would turn out the way I wanted it! Love what I got done and will definitely be back!

Bj Sorell Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have gotten my last two tattoos at this place the first one was a walk-in and I've never felt more comfortable in a tattoo shop as I did there. Erin was my artist and she's absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Guns n' Needles for next masterpiece.

Laura Rehlander Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My friend and I came in for matching tattoos on April 19th. This was my friend’s first tattoo and she was nervous! It’s hard to explain to someone how the tattoo will feel for them and Shane did a step by step explanation for her and what to expect. It put her at ease on what was about to happen. She ended up needing Shane to stop for a bit b/c she was not feeling well and he didn’t make her feel bad about it at all. He offered her soda or candy and wait for her to be ready again. He continued to tell her what was next and before she knew it, he was done. I thought that was so amazing he did that for her. I told her that almost never happens and that he took extra time for her. Thanks Shane for the bestie tattoos! We love them and you should be proud of your empathy and talent.

Chawni Bordieri Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place and everybody that works there. I've been going there for more years than I'd like to admit and I will always be going back!!

Erin Hull Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: These guys were the first people I called for spur-the-moment flash, and I saw Fabian for a walk-in hand tattoo. He was fabulous! Good conversation, very meticulous, and all around a great energy. The shop owner stopped by a couple times during the process and was encouraging of his apprentice and just genuinely interested in what I was getting. I love it when tattoo shops have friendly artists and that the only thing they take seriously is their business, not themselves. The shop was clean, organized, and smelled super good when I walked in. Give your local apprentice your business today!

Marissa Hebert Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved Anna! She was both professional and fun, making the entire experience so enjoyable. She did an amazing job on my tattoo, incorporating all the modifications I requested to create exactly what I envisioned. The line work is precise, the shading is flawless, and the result is perfect. I couldn’t be happier! I had such a great experience at Guns N’ Needles Tattoo and would highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for top-quality work!

Gary Couch Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to get your tattoos done! One of the cleanest, professionally ran and most organized places I've been to. You can tell they want the customer to be satisfied with their tattoo, and will take the time to make sure it is what you wanted! Uncle Rog is the owner and is a perfectionist.

Jaelynn Hoggard Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Devon did an amazing job with my tattoo. He worked with the last minute notice and got me in the same day!! Definitely going to be going back!

Ellie Torrance Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for years and have worked with multiple artists and gotten a few different styles. Every artist cares about everyone who walks through the door, and they want you to get the best tattoo possible. Super fun, friendly shop to be in, and it's more affordable than a lot of places nearby. I've sent a handful of friends here, and I hear nothing but good things. I'm excited every time I get to come back for more ink!

Eleanor Martin Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just had another wonderful tattoo experience at Guns N Needles! Roger is truly the best and does a wonderful job making people feel comfortable (and obviously does wonderful tattoos). Elated with my experience on each level!

Sarah Vennes Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just visited this shop yesterday to see Baylee who is currently apprenticing. Shop is incredibly clean, staff is super friendly, and Baylee was super professional and made the entire process comfortable, easy, and fun. Did not catch everyone’s name, but I think I spoke to darn near everyone and they were honestly all inviting and kind which hasn’t necessarily been my experience at similar businesses. You guys are great! Thank you and keep it up! I’ll be back

Angelo Rue Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: LOVE this place, if i could give it more stars i would. I usually have Shane or Anna do my tattoos, all of the people who work here are incredibly sweet and talented. I am a very socially anxious person so it's really nice to feel so comfortable around people I don't know super well. I just recently had my ninth tattoo done here for a food drive that their apprentices were running, and it's incredibly cool to see that the shop I frequent is giving back to the community. Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for quality and comfort. Promise you won't be disappointed.

Steve Schromen Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Travis was very professional, caring and thorough from start to finish. Extremely clean and well organized. Made me instantly feel at ease and exceeded expectations! Can’t wait for my next visit!!

Maria Holler Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Communication right away was great, was able to get us in on shorter notice. Shane was very welcoming and we felt very comfortable. Got a matching tattoo with my daughter and it was her first tattoo. So glad she had a great experience for her first one.

Juan Womack Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Roger was awesome… he freehanded what I wanted, no stencils. I am really happy with the results. If there was a 10 star rating on here, I would definitely give him a 10, will always get my tattoos again with him.

Pegah Azizi Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just got my first tattoo here at Guns N' Needles with Eryn, and she was amazing! Eryn is patient and listened carefully to my ideas. She designed my tattoo exactly as I wanted, and the result was even better than I expected. Highly recommend her and will definitely return for my next tattoos!!

Todd Becker Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After a long search for just the right artist for my idea, something stood out with Uncle Rog and Guns n Needles. From the very beginning, I was treated like a great long-time friend, and treated with the most respect I've encountered at a tattoo shop (or any establishment really!) I had an idea for a work of art with a few ideas and buildings in mind. When I saw what Uncle Rog turned that into, I was, and still am, in complete awe. He turned my idea for a great iconic symbol for me (The Space Needle) into an image that captures so much feeling and character that I didn't even imagine was possible in a tattoo. During this 3-session tattoo, I couldn't have been more comfortable. Every time, I felt like I was meeting with old friends. They made sure I had everything I needed for a good experience. Refreshments, good music, and great conversation. To sum it up: If your shopping tattoo locations, you can stop the search here. This is where you go.

Shanarius Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went there and got "Maximum Effort" all I will say is that I have found my shop for the rest of my tattoos my artist was Shane he was awesome I highly recommend

Jesse Spicer Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I got Shane as a tattoo artist, great advice, helped make a beautiful art design for my fiancés name and gave great recommendations. Also, pain was manageable! Absolutely coming here again! They also give free beverages.

Lauren Gustner Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Eryn is the best! Very easy to work with, professional, clean, and accommodating. If you're looking for beautiful animal artwork, see Eryn.

Lazy Turtle Beach Rentals Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shane is THE BEST! He’s done a few different pieces on me and every time I come back to MN to visit family, he’s n my list of people to say hi to and get a new tattoo from. Shop is always clean and a great environment. In my opinion, best shop in the Twin Cities and Shane is the best.

Amanda Folberg Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was so impressed with Anna’s work! I gave her a rough sketch of the idea I wanted, and she made it better than I ever could have hoped! She was professional, aseptic, thorough, and respectful of how much/little I wanted to talk while getting it done. The rest of the staff was friendly and professional, and helped me get exactly what I wanted.

Anna Gokey Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing service both times I’ve gone - both times small tattoos. They’ve aged well, reasonably priced and again. AMAZING service! They were very accommodating and well informed.

Bethany Wilde Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had SUCH a positive experience at Guns N’ Needles. Travis is so incredibly talented, kind, accommodating, efficient, and professional. I love my tattoo and will definitely be back here for the next one. Really great environment, positive vibes, fantastic soundtrack, and free pop to top it off! I’d highly recommended!

Lilah Freeman Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Shane did an amazing job on a very quick idea I sent in. They made time for me after inquiring just 1 day prior and it was a great experience. They definitely work to get in as many people as they can, and you can tell they prioritize staff personalities. Everyone in the shop works together well and the atmosphere is welcoming. Super clean facility and Shane made sure I loved his design! I will definitely be reaching out to come back the next time I visit my home state!

Elena Kreutzer Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience at Guns N' Needles. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Modern and clean interior to the building. Anna was my artist and did an incredible job. I had a general idea of what I wanted and Anna was able to put it into a drawing and then on my body. She did an incredible job and ensured I had a comfortable experience, especially being my first tattoo. I would recommend Anna and Guns N' Needles to anybody in need of a tattoo.

Thomas Hansen Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Roger did work on me years ago. Great guy. One day I hope to get there, have yet to see the actual shop.

Savannah Russell Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Don't let its hole-in-the-wall vibes fool you. Like the doors to Narnia, this place has beautiful, unique, and talented artists inside. I spent hours looking for someone to help me get a memorial tattoo for my late service cat. To no luck, did we find an artist who would do such a simple design. Finally! We tried this location, and they were so excited to help us. Needless to say that the tattoo came out amazing, and it fills my heart with warmth how dedicated the artist was with perfecting my design. Thanks, Eryn!!

Allee Schaeffer Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just got my first tattoo and had an excellent experience! Very clean shop with professional, friendly, and knowledgeable artists. Eryn did a stellar job coaching me through the process and I love the result. Thank you Eryn!

Jessica Krans Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: lol seems to be impossible to get in here? I wanted a like 1x1 tiny design and first emailed them late March to get pricing and ask when I could get booked for this and was told text the # for same day walk in possibilities and tried 3 diff times now, 3 diff days, and couldn’t get anything even though they said it would take 15-20 mins and is very small, just lines, no color. The last time I texted they got back to me near the very end of the day like 6-7 hours later and by then I was off and busy. So yep super sorry but I give up. They must not place importance on smaller simple jobs and only want the big fish lol. Oh well.

amie velez Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing experience here thanks to all the staff ESPECIALLY Anna! I got my very first tattoo which was a spider the length of my upper arm/shoulder and it came out exactly how I wanted it to with great quality. Anna was so kind and welcoming right from the beginning, making me so comfortable and at ease. They took me as a walk-in that same day after calling to confirm they had space to book me in and talk more about what I want/where I wanted it. The environment of the whole shop was very chill and VERY SANITARY. I’m most definitely coming back here to get more things done because the vibe the entire staff gave off is just super friendly yet very professional. Thank you so much Anna and the rest of the wonderful staff for your fantastic works of art :)))

chris boudreau Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: I called about getting a walk-in tattoo and the person that answered the phone was very polite and instructed me what to do as far as texting in a picture of the design, placement, and size. Unfortunately they didn't have time for me to get in that day but it wasn't a bad experience calling in for information.

Samantha Burch Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Eryn did a phenomenal job! I drove an hour and a half and it was completely worth it! Great experience and love my tattoo.

Lisa Williams Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love coming here. Shane has completed over 20 tattoos for me and I wouldn’t have it any other way. If you’re looking for a new artist, please pick Shane. If you’re looking for a new shop, you will be in good hands! I have included my two most recent tattoos below.

Jacqueline Tinant Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Travis was super helpful with accommodating a short notice request for my boyfriend and I! We were mid-roadtrip with a stop planned in Minneapolis - we've had tattoos planned for a while and Travis helped us schedule over the phone and provided helpful guidance along the way. The shop is immaculate, everyone was friendly, and Travis' work was awesome!

Tammy N Edin Published on Google 3 years ago

Shannon Koon Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My second tattoo at Guns and Needles with the Artist, Ceil. His work is always 100% and a very nice guy! I’d highly recommend this shop ❤️ 1st tattoo is from street art in Peru for Ayahuasca Retreat. 2nd tattoo is the Bufo Alvarius Toad from same retreat.

Emma Samletzka Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I just happened to find Guns N' Needles while searching for a tattoo parlour on google. It had a good rating and great reviews so I just decided to go for it. The inside is very nice and professional, and it wasn't intimidating at all. What impressed me the most was the service. They were super friendly and were genuinely concerned about me and how I felt about my tattoo; they were extremely helpful and considerate. Shane did my tattoo, and I would recommend him to anyone, he was so inviting and he knows what he's doing.

rebecca sandage Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo done by ceil he was hands down amazing and very accommodating. It was one of the best experiences I’ve had getting a tattoo. I 100% recommend him. The line work is amazing & the prices are just right.

Lydia Berens Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Eryn has done most of my tattoos and without a doubt I will be going back to her again. I trust her completely to create a beautiful design that I’ll continue to love and get compliments on. Eryn also makes great conversation throughout the whole tattoo and is such a fun person to be around. You won’t regret getting tattooed by her. She did my first tattoo 2 years ago and did two more for me tonight. Thank you so much Eryn !!

katelyn fiedler Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I LOVED this place!! We went as a bachelorette party to get crosses and I met Ciel through that.. ended up going back to get an arm tattoo with him and he touched up one on my back! AMAZING! He’s so fun, nice, clean, professional, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!!

Norm Meier Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just got another tattoo and I couldn’t be happier! Eryn was my artist and I cannot say enough great things about her and her work. Eryn is extremely skilled, detailed and personable. I love my new tattoo and look forward to getting my next one soon.

Lainy Steinman Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Eryn is an amazing artist!! Shes great at keeping you distracted if thats what you need, and not to mention insanely talented. Will definitely be coming back here in the future!

Chag D Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Accommodated my walk in request after I've been trying to get my tattoo today because of my schedule. Received a prompt reply, showed up & Erryn was pretty much ready to go after sizing and placement. Layout of the shop is pretty cool as well

Jen Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had my fourth tattoo by Bama done today. Her skill and talent are exceptional and her line work is second to none. She's friendly, positive and puts her clients at ease. She takes time to make sure every detail is the way you want it. I love her work and wouldn't go anywhere else!

Cara Hart Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went and saw Eryn and she fully exceeded my expectations. And brought my dogs paw print to life. I’ll definitely be going back to Eryn for my future tattoos.

Jessica Swenson Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: The shop was easy to find and had street parking nearby. It was really clean and the artists' spaces were private enough that I felt totally comfortable. Eryn was super friendly and kind and did an UH-mazing job creating exactly the tattoo that I wanted. She answered all of my questions and was able to give me either space or distraction, depending on what I needed at the moment. 100% would see her again!! ❤️

Shayna Smith Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I received my first tattoo from here last month and I couldn’t be more happy with my experience. Shane did an amazing job. He was extremely professional and walked us through everything we would need to know for aftercare treatment. He gave great advice regarding my design and his honesty was greatly appreciated. I’m in love with my tattoo!! And will definitely be back in the future!

Leah Sze Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Came into town for the weekend and spontaneously decided to get my first tattoo here. It was a perfect experience with Shane! Was a little nervous at first but Shane and the shop were so welcoming I was intimidated in a GOOD way because they knew what they were doing and I did not know what I was doing haha. Would recommend!!

Danali Wollner Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had an absolutely AMAZING experience!! The environment is so welcoming and open and calm. I felt very at ease the whole time. My artist, Eryn was the sweetest, best person ever. She was extremely receptive of my suggestions, was very personable and great to talk with, was very passionate about her work, and made me feel super comfortable. Her work is fantastic and the tattoo is SO GOOD! I very very very highly recommend the shop, and Eryn!

sravani vemireddy Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend this place. I got my first ever tattoo here. They are great at quick turnaround with appointments. Roger, the owner did mine. He is the BEST. He took time to explain me everything about tattoo, process and after care. He had been very patient with all my questions. With co-vid restrictions, they had best rules in place for customers safety. I am greatly satisfied with their services.

Lauren Bernstein Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I rarely write reviews, but the professionalism, customer service, communication, flexibility, and talent at this place are too exceptional to not share! My experience working with Bama for my first tattoos was seamless, informative, and so fun. She went above and beyond with managing my expectations from our first consultation. I knew nothing about tattoos, expectations about their longevity, or considerations for location. Bama was patient and refreshingly candid about challenging me to think about what my tattoo would look like in 5, 10, 20 years based on location, size, and design elements chosen now. She took a vision I've long had for a tattoo and turned into something more beautiful than I could have imagined. And she was receptive and enthusiastic when we made several small adjustments before settling on the final design. Bama is knowledgeable, intuitive, and skilled, and she truly cares about her clients' satisfaction. Also, just a kind soul and good human...which is so needed these days. :)

Grace Ziemer Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo done by Betsy K and I am SO HAPPY with it! I chose her specifically because she’s got a lot of experience with fine line pieces, and she nailed mine too. I want my tattoos to be high quality, and this shop delivers. The artists look out for your best interest which I think is really important, so trust the professionals here. This was my first tattoo but I will be going back to Guns N Needles for more!!

Charlie Burk Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I got my first tattoo here today with Eryn. It was a fantastic shop and Eryn was a fantastic artist. She reasonably charged for the service and she made sure to be patient while I made sure the spot and placement were what I wanted. Great artist.

Sydney “Syd” Okeson Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve only gone to Eryn Ehli for my tattoos. She’s absolutely amazing to work with. She makes sure everything is perfect & that you are comfortable in every way, both with the tattoo & while sitting the in chair. She really listens to you & is honest about aging, fading & everything else about the tattoo in general. Eryn has done beautiful line work & shadowing on all 4 of my tattoos. Anything from a realistic skull to a simple shape is done clean & precisely. The conversations we have while she’s tatting me are also so genuine & comical. At this point Eryn is the only person I really trust to get my tattoos done by & every time I walk away absolutely loving them!

Rachel Ernster Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Called for a walk in last minute and Ciel got me in no problem and did a great job! My design was simple but I’m very happy with the results.

Fantastic experience: Was greeted right away and offered a beverage by the receptionist. Met with Ciel. I asked for a specific tattoo, something a little unusual and he understood and treated it and me with respect. He's a great guy also. Very personable and made me feel comfortable and was receptive to feedback while and after getting the tattoo. When I'm ready, I'll be back to see them! Thanks a lot everyone!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with various artists here and they always strive to make your tattoo a work of art. The place is very clean and you feel safe getting work done. Wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: My friend and I called one weeknight and we’re able to get in right away. We had an amazing experience and can’t say enough good things about Guns and Needles! The space is inviting, nice looking, and clean. They took great COVID precautions - had one of us in at a time, social distanced, wore masks, covered the iPad that we entered our information on in single use plastic, and sanitized everything really well. I worked with Shane - he was incredibly nice, easy to talk to, welcoming, and professional. He explained the aftercare process very well and gave me a helpful bag of goodies to take care of it. This was my 4th tattoo and it was definitely my best experience. I will for sure be coming back here in the future!

Negative experience: My friend and I called at 3pm and was told we would get a call if we were able to come in. We got a call at 6:25 and was told to come right in and we would get our tattoos back to back. When we got there we were told that they took 2 walk-in’s within 20 mins of our drive (which we were told they didn’t do when we called) and that we could “possibly” get tattooed in 2 HOURS but not for sure. I have received WORSE customer service in my life and am glad that they will not be getting our money.

Fantastic experience: Ciel was awesome!!! He last minute fit my both boyfriend and I in for appointments on the same night. We couldn’t be in at the same time due to covid restrictions but he worked it out so we could go right after each other which was great. He worked with my idea and gave super helpful recommendations. Totally trusted him with his ideas. He went above and beyond to add perfect details to my design. I felt comfortable and safe the whole time. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: BetsyK was amazing. She walked me through the whole process. She kept me talking so I didn’t focus on the sounds ( it is only my second tattoo). The shop is calming, clean, and professional. Also they are following all the COVID rules. I will never go anywhere else. Thank you BetsyK!

Fantastic experience: So I'm normally a little comical about my reviews, but in all seriousness, I had been thinking about getting a tattoo honoring Hecate for a long time. I am a pagan witch and her teachings mean a lot to me. My silver birthday was fast approaching and another friend of mine pointed out (2 days before my birthday while we were out of town) that my birthday was the new moon (Hecate is a new moon goddess), in Pisces (my sign). I called as soon as they opened on my birthday and Ashley picked up, telling me to come in and try for a walk-in (I messaged or called 5 other places none of which got back to me at all). I came and Ciel was available, and talk about being in the right place at the right time. He worked incredibly hard to make the tattoo perfect and I couldn't be happier with it! Guns N' Needles will always have a special place for making such an amazing thing happen for me on such short notice. The work is thorough and all the artists in staff that day were just as thorough and thought out with their clients as Ciel was with me. They're very sanitary, thorough and personable. I can't wait to get my next piece! You guys are the best. Thanks again Ciel, you honestly did something so special for me and I can't properly express my gratitude.

Fantastic experience: I walked in, spur of the moment, on Valentine's day. It was pretty busy, but Eryn had some time. She listened to what I wanted, made excellent suggestions, and made me feel very comfortable. I came in pretty nervous, but left feeling on top of the world. I will definitely be coming back. I really recommended both Guns N Needles and Eryn. I love my new tattoo!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Very professional and clean. The staff are amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. I've been tattooed at many shops and different countries ,this shop was great for me and also my daughter , who is new to the addiction. No pressure, fair price, and very good at explaining the process.

Fantastic experience: Great tattoo shop, staff is very helpful and nice. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough, my first at Guns n needles (not my first tattoo) and after today probably won’t be my last at Guns n needles and ashely “BAMA” was the best to work with, she really put my vision into life and I love it.

Fantastic experience: Great service and appreciate accepting our walk in. Travis did a great job on my brother's first tattoo. He also made him feel very welcomed and calm. Will be bringing my service here in the future.

River Moon Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: We decided to go in late for a walk in tattoo and Ashley "Bama" Halverson did mine and Ciel did my bros. I was very impressed with the atmosphere of the shop and everyone was very nice and professional and worked with top notch quiet tattoo equipment. They offered cold drinks before and after and had a good movie and music playing to keep you distracted while being tattooed although Bama and I pretty much talked through the whole thing She was a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend her or anyone at this shop for your next tattoo
