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!

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.

Basically, over the night my gem stone ended up in my ear between the holes. Go figure. I contact Anchor's End Tattoo in Hudson. Told them about the issue. They let me know the piercer in Hudson was not in and to look into the River Falls or Stillwater shop. I opted for River Falls. I made the appointment and explained the weird issue. I went in at my appointed time and the piercer was all ready for me. Sorry, really bad with names. I told her what happened. Thankful she had experience with this kind of thing. I also told her if she couldn't fix it, I would head over to "urgent care". She was a complete delight. So nice and kind. She looked at it and was able to get the gem out of there and replaced my earrings with a larger crystal and a longer stem to account for the swelling I was experiencing. Honestly, I cannot say enough nice things about her. This was my 2nd experience there and honestly both were just as wonderful. I really appreciated her getting me in to get this resolved. Thank you so much.

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.
