Inside of shop
Kiejuana V.

My sister and I walked in and got started right away. Liz is awesome! I got my pierced and my sister got her 2nd earlobe piercing. Earlobe pairs were $60 and Nip pairs were $120. Highly recommend if you're wanting a piercing last minute.

Tongue piercing

Okay so I would have given them five stars for the piercing job (I got my tongue pierced here); but I would give them two stars for what followed up... so I went too get my tongue pierced here and they way they set things up they had me sign paperwork and give them my ID and picked out jewelry and headed too the piercing room in the back. We get it pierced and so much time has gone by since we first got there keep in mind they don't have a system where you pay before you get pierced like you SHOULD so people don't FORGET. Because that's usually how these things work. Naturally we walk to the front and they all say "have a great night!!" And obviously forgetting I walk out too my car and right as I got there I realized oh shit! They never asked me to pay beforehand, and all of a sudden this guy from the shop runs out WITH A WRENCH, ready to smash my windows or take my plates or something!!! He goes "uhm you didn't pay" and I was like uhm I wasn't trying to fucking steal in the first place so don't treat me as if I'm trying to pull a fast one on your buisiness when y'all system was fucked up and you should have expected that too happen, of course I went in to pay as this was there fault I forgot and mine for not remembering people are dumb! I then got PRESSED to tip out almost everyone there which was the rest of my money because the girl kept saying "how much do you wanna tip" I stan tipping but these people did not deserve it and I felt really flustered because she was pressuring me into tipping people who had literally just came outside to my car with a wrench, this place is wack and the pricing is also expensive. They probably remember me from this review but I don't care because I saw too many reviews but not one sharing a story like mine with this place :) Goodluck to your business I hope you guys start making people pay before the service so when you say "have a great night" while walking them to leave, they don't forget about paying and get ran up on with a wrench as if they are a bad person and asked for any of that:)

I paid $200 for this bullshit tattoo

I honestly am baffled at the ratings that Fluid Ink has gotten. If you want a super basic tattoo go here. If you want something that is even slightly creative and artistic, don't. I went in to get a tattoo not too long ago. I told Chad what I wanted and he quoted me a price and said it would take a couple hours. The work he did for me took a little over 30 minutes and he still charged me $200. It looked like shit. It was my first tattoo and I was so ashamed of it. Thankfully there are some real artists in Saint Paul. I went to the Holy Mackerel and got it covered up. If you're in the market for a tattoo/piercing shop, I highly discourage you to walk in to Fluid Ink. There are much better artists around.

I would never go anywhere else. I went here based on the recommendation of my best friend and her sister, who get all their work done here. I was beyond happy with the result. I got a small swan (a custom drawn design) on the back of my neck- a very simple design, but I would absolutely go here for my future, more complicated ink work. My tattooist, Nick, was very professional and friendly, and made me feel very comfortable (as it was my first tattoo). Their new location, a block up Snelling, is very nice- clean and bright, but not without character. The shop minimum is $65, which is what I was charged for my design. It's been a year and I've had no issues or fading. They do free touch ups if you do have any problems, though. It is cash only, but there's a Holiday across the street.

There are better places. They botched my custom design by not paying close enough attention to detail. Otherwise they were professional.

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!

Truthfully, my honest experience with Truth Tattoos was so much fun and amazing, and this is no…read morelie. A friend of mine had gotten inked here before, so when I was visiting we spur-of-the-moment decided to go back and walk in to see if we could get another, since she had enjoyed her first experience so much. That's also nice- you can walk in a lot of days here and get tattooed. Since covid that can be hit or miss to come by, and having to set an appointment can be such a pain. So, we walked in and they told us (3 of us wanting to get tatted, by the way) to come back in an hour and they'd squeeze us in, and that's exactly what they did. We all got tattooed by 3 different artists, and it was such a fun time. Everyone in the shop is super laid back and just enjoying the vibes and you could feel it. Mitch worked on my tattoo, and he drew up such a beautiful design I couldn't even believe it, but it was the truth. He was so good at listening to what I wanted and making it come to life, even with just a walk-in, smaller scale tat. I really enjoyed Mitch, he was funny and so charismatic and made the entire experience that much better. One bad thing about the Truth is that they are pretty terrible at answering the phone, so if you call don't expect someone to pick up. You have to find their Google Doc sheet to send a request for an appointment and that's your best bet to get set up there if you don't go in person. We really loved our visit to the Truth Tattoos, and truthfully we will most likely be back at some point because we can't lie and say we didn't cherish our time and now forever inked skin, that's the facts.

I walked in with no appointment at The Truth Tattoos around 6 PM on a Saturday and was immediately…read morehelped! I wanted some small tattoos on my hand and fingers that I've been wanting for years but kept putting off. Other shops in the area were quoting me very high prices and couldn't get the style right or would deny me due to the location of tattoos. When I went to The Truth Tattoos, I was greeted right away, multiple artists stepped up to see what my vision was and quoted me an amazing price. Lex was my artist, and she was seriously the best --super chill, confident, and nailed my vision on the first sketch. I even let her freehand some parts, that's how much I trusted her. The whole experience was smooth, quick, comfortable and good vibes. Definitely found my go-to shop, and I'll be sending people their way for sure!

Several months before, I received some basic information and instructions and then was emailed more information about a week or so before the appointment.

Jes was kind and thorough in explaining the process and aftercare and I absolutely love her work. I hope to be back again!

After researching the artists there, I contacted Andrea - The Dapper Nomad - as I loved her work and she did cover-ups. Andrea did an amazing job on my cover-up tattoo! She was collaborative and unafraid to share her expertise to make sure the final product was something that was stunning and I would love. The original tattoo had a special meaning but was done in a very impulsive way, so I ended up disappointed as time passed. Andrea was able to take into account the sentimental aspects and rework it into a gorgeous tattoo that better suits me and its symbolism. Her talent, thoughtfulness, and expertise really made this an amazing experience.

I had gotten my nose pierced with Selina and unfortunately after a good month of healing I started experiencing hypertrophic scarring (which is basically the skin producing excessive collagen ) and resulted in an ugly bump around my piercing. I have been visiting Selina since then and she has been so helpful giving me various tips and tricks to help me bring the bump down and heal without scarring. Has my bump completely gone? No, its a work in progress but having someone like Selina to work with has really made me worry less about it and know it will eventually go away. So if you are in Twin Cities and looking for a good person to get your piercing done, Selina it is!
