All the stars in the galaxy for Sacred Siren Parlor! I've been to a fair number of tattoo shops in…read morethe last two decades and this is by far the nicest one I've been to. Nicest in all possible ways. It was pristine. All the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The jewelry is titanium grade so I don't have to take any of my new piercings out for my upcoming MRI. Special shout out to Brian Loring for a fantastic job on my piercings. He was fast, efficient and there was just the hint of a sting. Can't recommend SSP highly enough if you're looking for a piece or a pierce. In addition to all that, there are a number of fine art items available for viewing or purchase and three awesome stickers for you to enjoy! Thanks so much guys! I'll definitely be back! Keep that screaming chair ready for me!

ANNA. ^ I saved…read morethat as a draft on April 3, 2026 when I came here. Short summary: Called same-day & Anna was available; texted a text design (one script line + one monospaced line) that I drafted on my phone; was able to come in asap (our hotel was 10 mins away); Anna is super cool to talk to & the tattoo was not only affordable but came out perfect, healed very well, & I will definitively return next time I'm in Minneapolis bc I love this place so much. Story: Soooo I visited MN for a concert & knew I was going to hit up a tattoo parlour. I wrote the top line of my tattoo 5+ years ago, and the second line when I was an adolescent. I'm obsessed w getting tattoos in cities I visit as "souvenirs," but I didn't have the idea to combine these 2 lines into 1 piece until literally that morning. I searched on Yelp (obv) for tattoo places & rly liked the reviews for Guns N' Needles Tattoo. Called, sent my design (which wasn't perfectly centered), and Anna had it fixed + printed prior to my arrival. One of her size options was larger than I envisioned it, and I immediately LOVED it (location: left inner wrist). Anna is so cool to talk to; the time flew by & it honestly felt like I was only there for 3 mins (it was longer than that.) But still quick. An hr at most. I'm so ecstatic that she had printed out the larger version of it bc now the top line (which is in a cursive font I chose) spans my entire wrist & feels even more self-defining. I would come back here in a heartbeat. Verrrrrry clean, organized place. They played some Deftones songs. I kept saying, "Omg I love this song." I don't really know what more you can ask. We parked on the adjacent street. She was so sweet & I felt confident that I could voice any concerns if there were any, etc. Anna gave me printed aftercare instructions and her contact info; my tattoo healed perfectly. I have to say again, I would absolutely return here--in fact, I really hope I get a chance to!!! Thank youuuuuuu!

I had an appointment with these folks had canceled last minute .because they couldn't do the Tattoo…read morethat they initially said they could do a week ahead of time . I even sent a photo of what I wanted and the guy said yes we can do it even with a quote and all . It was a very big disappointment .Because they wasted my time, energy and were rude about it as well .They could've at least just called me the day before and say that the tattoo was too challenging or something. In the end, I got it done, but I got it done at a better shop. I just will never give this place to business because of their lack of professionalism in keeping appointments and not giving enough time if they can't do it they should've called ahead of time to cancel if they needed to. They were not mindful of my time and schedule. therefore, I would not give them my time and money. I would go somewhere else.

This is my second tattoo at the ripe old age of...and both were done by Hung's own talented hand…read more The shop is clean and both Hung and his daughter Trish are so friendly and welcoming. The first time, I had my husband's name tatted on my inner wrist. (Yes, he also got my name on his wrist. We've been together 20+ years so we figured by now, we are safe from suffering the "Getting lover's name tattoo and promptly breaking up" curse.) I knew from that first tattoo that it wouldn't be my last. As Hung said, "you'll be back more". My husband is also thinking of his second one. I lost a beloved pet last year in the most devastating and traumatic way. I have been thinking of how to honor him (and our other kitties) to show my gratitude for their lives spent at my side. I decided on one that I knew I would be happy carrying for life and that would embody the feelings that I feel. I'm happy that I waited until now, because tattoos are so personal and mine hold such meanings to me. Hung delivered again. I, being over the ripe old age of ;), was acting a little "neurotic"and sent Hung a bazillion images of my cat and my drawings. He was so patient with me. He took my drawing and perfected it and then went to work. He is simply the best artist out here in Minnesota and if you look at his past work you'll clearly see why. And if that doesn't quite convince him, read his past 5 star reviews. Yeah! Trust me! Get yours with him or with Trish! I promise you that won't be disappointed. 5 star all the way!

The intake form is long and detailed, but don't let that deter you.

During the consultation we talked about a few ideas. I came in for the appointment and was happy he can fix up the Joker tattoo I really wanted to love so bad. My ex had a fixation on blue/purple faces. I HATED it. I asked him to NOT do that with my tattoo. He did anyway. Jeff looked at the original image it was based on, and first question was to get rid of the purple/blue face. YES YES. I already knew I was going to love it. Jeff has a relative light hand, most times I didn't feel anything. (I also have about 11 other tattoos) But the more important fact is what he did. I keep staring at the image and seeing all the different touches he did. I'm still amazed. I sent it to all my friends and they're also amazed on how he totally changed the tattoo around. Rest of staff popped their heads in to see and were super friendly. I just moved from cali and needed a new artist. I don't think I'd ever see someone else besides Jeff at this point. I'm just in awe still. Thank you Jeff & thank you uptown tattoo!!

He was very meticulous and overall, I was extremely satisfied with the completed art piece.

On the way we passed by Dragonland Tattoo and decided to walk in and see what it's like. As soon as we walked in you could tell it was a reputable shop. The wall was covered in Best Of and NTA awards. I've been wanting to get a star tattoo for a few years now and was surprised to find that they could get me in pretty much right away, so I figured what the heck let's do it! I got a quarter size outline of a star on my right wrist and it took all of 30 minutes from when we walked in just to check it out to walking out with my tat exactly how I had imagined :) My niece's boyfriend got a rose tattoo on his forearm and was able to get in right after me. Our artist Dustin was awesome and eased my tattoo anxiety, making my experience go much more smoothly than my overthinking brain expected. I would encourage an appointment and consultation for most tattoos as we got small, simple ones that didn't really require one. I will definitely be back if I work up the courage to start the sleeve tattoo I've been thinking about getting. I would highly recommend Dragonland Tattoo, 5 stars from us!!!
