    This is the dragon that Zach took 2 hours AFTER their scheduled appointment to draw and then 5 hours doing.

    Zach M and his wife Shanessa posted on a FB page called "Mankato MN word of mouth" about how she is an apprentice at Impulse and he's an artist and they are super broke and needing money to make their bills. So they put a deal out that they would match whatever amount you spent on a tattoo. I immediately took notice and heart reacted to this post as I am always down to help people helping themselves. Plus my grandma and my mom's mom just passed took our money and spent it without doing the work on us and then cancelled on us our first appointment because he was supposedly in the hospital, then the next appointment he attempted to gaslight me into thinking I made it for a different time. Then he whined about the fact that I then asked for my money back,telling me I would have to wait 1-2 days because he would need to do tattoos to refund me (it was $250, easily one tattoo, as that is what he charged ME. even the one he put in my spot when he was gaslighting me). Then he called my mother, attempting to suede her with his excuses and she had said that I wanted my money back but that she and my sister would continue their scheduled appointment with him the following weekend (rescheduled AS WELL). It came to Tuesday and I asked him why he had not sent my money yet and he sent a screenshot without a date or time on it, of money pending on his Venmo account, saying it got put on hold for some reason. I ignored it and asked my mom to speak to him as I knew I would not be polite in my response. He tells her the same excuse. The next day,his wife Shanessa send my money back to my mother. Fast forward to the following weekend and my sister then wants to get a refund as her and my mom show up at the designated time Zach told them to but he spent the first 2 hours just drawing my mom's tattoo. Then told them he would be doing my mom first, knowing she would need 2-3 sessions and my sister wanted a literal 5 inch tattoo, maybe even 4 inches that would have taken him maybe a half hour and she could have gotten out of there and about her day. He did this out of spite because of ME cancelling on him and wanting a refund from him. Fast forward to the end of my mom's session (almost 7 hours later) and she shows up with the most HORRENDOUS dragon body/flowers/butterflies tattoo I have EVER seen. My 13 year old is a practicing artist and SHE could have drawn it better. My mom is making ALL these excuses for him and talking about how they planned another appointment to go back to finish it/touch it up. I almost cried when I saw it as all 3 of us were getting these memorial tattoos for our grandma/mom who passed this last Christmas. And it was MESSED up. We both BEGGED my mom not to go back to him and go go to the guy I found at Reborn Legacy in Mankato because he did mine and it was even a cover up and it was beautiful and cheap too. I will be attaching photos of the dragon tattoo and the post that was originally posted on the FB group about them putting out a deal. We even looked at his photos on the website and his FB and he does really good work. It seems like this entire thing was done out of spite and when my sister messaged the impulse website stating she wanted to make a grievance about him, she was blocked. Come to find out,he is the MANAGER of that establishment. So not only did he screw us over in every way, he illegally stopped her from making a grievance about him. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT go to this place, I assume they are all icky and like him if he is the manager. He spoke about having a past drug issue and this is all pretty normal behavior of someone being on drugs still. We do know it was our fault for sending the entire price of the tattoo money ahead of time, instead of just a normal deposit amount but we were excited and should NOT be taken advantage of because of that!!! -10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND IMPULSE OR ZACH M OR HIS WIFE SHANESSA MOERHKE!!!

    Friendship tattoos!

    This establishment was a very clean and aesthetically pleasing environment. With some candy on the…read moreback table and what seemed to be essential oils being diffused it definitely gave off a safe and relaxing impression. The staff was very kind and helpful as well. I went in because I needed help getting a piece jewelry back in a cartilage piercing. I have no bad things to say as far as the services rendered or environment I will however say I did not expect to have to pay $25 for her to pop my stud back in - yikes! If I had realized this before coming I may have shopped around a bit more but as it was I have no complaints and if it is within your price point I would definitely recommend!

    Had the most amazing experience here! I had to book a while in advance with Travis (about 2 months…read morein advance) but was well worth it!! 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!
