If you're interested in a tattoo, go somewhere else. This establishment is not trustworthy, and has no integrity. Also the amount of time and consideration the tattoo is given is poor, at best. This is a lengthy review, but if you are thinking about getting a tattoo, it's worth a read! I have a missing big toenail and had an interest in doing a tattoo on that area. I called ahead to go in and have a 'consult'. When I got to this place the apprentice (desk clerk basically) was the only one that briefly interacted with me. The person (Rick) who was going to do my tattoo was sitting behind the desk eating a sandwich. He did not get up ONCE to take a look at the site where I was wanting a tattoo. The 'apprentice' had me take my sock off in the waiting area and he took (literally) a glance at my toe (while the tattoo artist continued to sit eating his sandwich and talking to some young child behind the desk). I expressed I wanted a lotus flower. Asked him if he needed to look at the toe? Oh no, a lotus flower, well... (head shrug). Basically, no big deal, that's common and easy. No design was drawn up, yet they suggested I make an appointment for the coming week now since they sometimes "fill up fast". I felt a bit uneasy about the whole scene, but I put down a deposit nonetheless (my mistake!) At the time I was told (by the tattoo artist, Rick) it was refundable if I cancelled within 48 hours of the appointment. I began to feel apprehensive about getting it done. I called to cancel. Talked to Rick directly, who told me they would credit my card used since it was before the 48 hours. No credit. Called twice, and finally got told that the person who takes care of the books (their words) said it went through, so it must be a problem with my bank. It never did go through so I opened a dispute. They in turn were dishonest in their part in this dispute. They stated a drawing had been made for me (funny thing.. it was never mentioned, nor did I ever see one), it's for the tattoo artists time (which there was none), AND to add to that they sent the cc company a picture of a sign stating no refunds which was posted after the fact. It was not there when I was in the establishment. Their only suggestion now is to contact them and they will set up a tattoo for a different date, giving me credit toward that. Beyond poor business practices and absolutely NO integrity. Not trustworthy. If I could give less than 1 star, I would. Read Less

Not much for writing reviews because I procrastinate and I'm a little on the lazy side but here goes. Was in last fall and couldn't be happier. I have 3 tattoo places within walking distance but since I had great service I'm more than happy making the drive. Haven't been back since I'm not a hundredaire but now it's the only place I'll have work done. Everyone is super cool (didn't meet the gal there but she looks like she would be nice), in a service industry it's refreshing to see a group of people that treat their potential customers like people. I know this really doesn't sound sincere but it IS honest. Read Less

I've been here multiple times. My mom and I got tattoos once. I got mine from a guy that should never be a tattoo artist ever again! He did an awful job. However my mom got hers done by Uriah. He does wonderful work. She was very happy with the outcome. I have since gone back for a tragus piercing from Jon. He does have a random schedule but he's very knowledgeable. I also inquired about having the tattoo I previously got from a former artist. One of the owners Uriah was more than willing to do a cover up for me. There prices are a bit high, My tragus piercing was 3x the price of most shops in the metro area. It's urban. It's right down town Elk River. Easy to find. Despite having 1 bad experience I've decided to go back. Read Less

Very friendly artists. They put a very nervous, yet supportive, mom asst ease. Would recommend to anyone. The design was just how she wanted. They talked her thru the whole process also. And reasonably priced when compared to those around. Thank you Josh. Read Less

Jon did an amazing job with my 10 year old daughter! He was able to reopen an old piercing and didn't charge me for it. He was patient and explained everything he was doing. Jon really made my daughter feel at ease. Read Less

This place is AMAZING! My daughter and I went in today for a couple piercings and the staff is incredibly friendly, it is super clean and Jon (who does the piercing) can't be beat! It was a great experience. I can't imagine going anywhere else! We will definitely be back. Read Less

Never felt so comfortable getting a piercing. Jon is amazing and the shop is awesome. I couldn't recommend any place better. After going to him twice I have to make him my official piercer:) He takes so much care in placement and wants nothing more than to make you extremely happy about your piercing. Such a great experience, thanks! Read Less

Jon pierced my daughter's nose today. He was amazing from start to finish. He got her laughing and past the nervousness and taught her a valuable lesson about responsibility and good communication. I especially loved the iodine mustache he gave her. Highly recommend! Very informative and answered any and all questions. Definitely going back for more piercings! Read Less

Nicki is amazing! She let my daughter and her Girl Scout friends sell in front of her shop! She also bought 10 boxes for the shop! I live very close to the shop and have never had any issues with anything! The shop is beautiful inside and I'm so glad she is a part of our community. Read Less

You dont make best of the best without knowing how to work with people, being creative, and doing a fabulous job! Extremely clean environment! I highly recommend! Thanks for being a great part of our community Read Less

Took my daughter here for ear piercing. She's 10. She was nervous going in, but Jon is just amazing with kids! He had her talking in no time, showed her all the tools (including the needle), explained exactly what he was going to do, had her initial the paperwork beside me, and in the end she nearly skipped into the room to get her ears pierced! Nervous again waiting for him to prep and clean, and clean, and clean! Then he just started chatting away and she didn't even know it was done. Well worth every extra cash spent to avoid a trashy gun shooting a dull stud through her ear by someone who's had 1 day of training. Only issue I can see is....she wants to go back for more! Then again, so do I. Guess I know where my overtime dollars will be spent!Read Less

I went there because we were able to get in on a Sunday. But it was a great experience! Josh talked to me about what I wanted done and he came up with a tattoo that I'm loving. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I definitely recommend their shop. Read Less

Went to Josh for a couple of small things I wanted done and was definitely pleased with the result. I normally go to another shop but the reason why I wanted to try this one is because of how great everyone says the customer service is. The staff is very welcoming and friendly and the vibe is good. Also, the shop looks amazing! Will definitely be coming back :) Read Less
