I had an hour slot booked where I wanted to do a couple smaller memorial tattoos in memory of my mother who passed from ovarian cancer. The nice thing is, I had changed my mind a bit since showing the initial proof to Zion Tattoo when I initially booked. Travis was totally fine with it and adjusted to my wants. I also appreciated how he added his input on my ideas to ensure they looked good upon completion. I was there for about 45 minutes, everything was fast and inclusive. It was an amazing experience in a clean and comfortable environment and I appreciated how Travis kept checking in with me to make sure I was doing alright and was just very personable. He takes pride in his work and I'd definitely recommend Travis at Zion as an artist and one who especially pays attention to detail - even the smaller detail tattoos - and I will definitely be returning again for more!

Well I'd like to start off by saying that I am only here to share my opinions about the experience…read moreI had at A+ Tattoo in Hastings, Minnesota. You may have had a better experience than I did, but this is mine. I felt good going into this tattoo appointment based on the communication I had prior to my appointment with the owner. He seemed nice, knowledgeable, and excited to do my tattoo. With 25 years experience, I felt confident that I was in good hands. I asked him what his hourly rate was and he said he was going to just bid this job. It was $450 and he justified the price because of all the detail work. I agreed and figured it would take him around 3.5 - 4 hours. The tattoo only took him a total of 2 hours, needle to skin time, and I felt like he was rushing towards the end. That's $225 per hour. For that price, I expect and demand perfection from someone who has been tattooing for 25 years. At the end of the appointment, he said I would have to come back for touch ups. That all sounded great at the time. As it started to heal, I began to notice a few things. Here's what I noticed... 1. In my tattoo, there are 2 birds among various other things. One of the birds has no beak and the other one has no tail. The wings are more rounded and didn't show the detailed feather tips like the photo I provided him with. 2. The lettering is all over the place. Some straight up and down, some slanted, and different size letters in the same word. Not at all what I wanted. I feel I should mention that I was perfectly still while getting the tattoo and never flinched or moved around to cause any of the irregularities. 3. The Negative lettering he did was done so small and poorly, it all blended together over the first couple of months and you were unable to read the word. 4. The circles that were supposed to be in the tattoo turned out to be oval. The numbers on the clock are different sizes and the time on the clock is different from the one I specifically asked for. 5. The detail work just wasn't there. Not that I'm an expert, but when straight lines are curved and circles look oval, that is just unacceptable for $225 per hour from someone with 25 years experience. I couldn't be more disappointed with my $450 investment. 6. The red color he used almost looked pink when it finally healed. I wish he would have used a darker red like the one in the photo I provided him with. Before I noticed all of this, I was trying to talk to him about my next tattoo. I e-mailed him at least 3 times with no reply. I stopped down a couple of times, and when I finally got a minute of his time (a small break from the person he was tattooing), he claimed he never received any e-mails from me. I told him I wanted to schedule a consultation to talk about my next tattoo, and he told me to just come back sometime and it would be "hit or miss" if he was available. I thought that was highly unprofessional and could not believe he wouldn't schedule a consultation appointment (a blessing in disguise). I have better things to do than continually stop by to see if he can squeeze me in for a consultation. That's just not the way I would choose to do business. After a few weeks and noticing the above mentioned items, I lost all confidence that he could actually fix any of this mess. He seems like a very nice person, but when someone boasts about winning all these awards for his work, you need to be able to deliver. It was very disappointing to see my end result. I get that nobody's perfect, but I could barely stand to look at my tattoo without getting upset. There was NO WAY I was going back to this guy for "touch ups". After it was fully healed and some time had gone by, I was referred to an incredible artist that was able to do touchups and save the tattoo. It took her an additional 2 hours to try and fix all of the areas that were poorly done. That cost me an additional $250. So this tattoo has cost me $700, but I absolutely LOVE it now!!! I know that art is subjective, but I'm telling you, this tattoo looked terrible when the owner of A+ Tattoo finished up with it and it healed. You might think I should have given him an opportunity to do the touchups, but based on what paid for, what I got, and the unprofessionalism I experienced, I just didn't feel comfortable going back to A+ Tattoo. It's really as simple as that. So that was my experience with the owner of A+ Tattoo in Hastings, Minnesota. It wasn't a good one for me, but it has lead me to an incredibly talented tattoo artist who does amazing work. I'm not here to plug another shop, but she's great. I would also like to mention that several months have gone by since my experience with A+ Tattoo. This is not just a knee jerk reaction review. I have taken time to calm down and put some thought into this review. I honestly don't know what else I could have done to make this a better experience.

My experience…read morewas super impersonal, rude, unprofessional and felt as if I was interrupting Jesse's free time. When trying to explain MY vision for the tattoo he would just stare at his tablet with absolutely no feedback as if i wasn't even in the room. If you didn't like his design he would act upset and almost pout. once we finally came up with a mediocre game plan the day came for me to get my tattoo and it was the same treatment, it felt as if I was inconveniencing his day. He would play his loud music the entire time without even asking if it was to loud or if I would prefer something else. when I would ask him questions about the tattoo he would stay mute until I would have to ask the same question again only to receive a irritated response. employees were in and out of the room throughout the day to borrow supplies or needing Jesse's approval for some business related problem as Jesse is part owner of the shop. Jesses attitude problem and uncomfortable atmosphere continued throughout the entire 7 hour appointment and into the next appointment. upon completion of the sub par tattoo Jesse did not offer much advice for aftercare explaining it would all be in a Email that never came.Jesse's work does NOT match his top of the line price and very poor customer service. I would highly suggest a different shop. There are plenty of great Shops in the area of higher quality and better prices.

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.

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!
