    I've had multiple fantastic experiences at Jackalope! The artists and staff are truly amazing. They create such an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. The restroom is clean and tastefully decorated. They're also gender-neutral which is refreshing. They even had period products and cleaning supplies readily available. The parking is on-street soI'd suggest arriving a bit early to make sure you don't have any issues securing a spot. Highly recommend for any tattoo work!

    I had been wanting a tattoo from a Jackalope artist for a long time. I love their shops values as they align with mine. A lot of the artists book up fast, but some of them do flash sales. This is how I was able to get in! Emily had a flash sale and I was picked. My experience at the shop was great! Emily was also very sweet and thorough throughout my tattooing process. I had shifted my legs and she stopped and asked if I was ok. It was very sweet. I will definitely be back for another tattoo!

    I'm consistently pleased with my experience at Jackalope Tattoo! I've gotten a few tattoos and always enjoy the level of service, quality of the tattoo, and the environment that's been created there. My experiences at Jackalope have always been positive and friendly. Maybe that's what happens when you eliminate the toxic masculinity that often accompanies male-owned and operated shops. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo - this is your place!

    This shop is so amazing and welcoming. I came here with my other sisters for our first ever tattoos that were pretty cliche but Jun absolutely nailed them. We are so happy with our tattoos and so lucky that they were able to fit us in since we don't stay in minnesota. I definitely loved my first experience and am now OBSESSED with the tattoo.

    Cat ladies unite! Looking to add your furry friend's portrait to your permanent photo album? Jacoba is an amazingly talented artist and super cool person too! I got this, my first tattoo, at the age of 41, it took me awhile to decide what I wanted. I couldn't be happier with the experience or the results! Jacoba never made me feel less than for this being my first tattoo. From day one all the way through Jacoba provided excellent customer service, which seems rare these days. Knowing I could count on her made the whole process easier for me. I chose Jacoba because I wanted to get a realistic tattoo of my cat and saw one of her stunning examples on her instagram page. We met a few months in advance and she walked me through the process and then continued to gently push me for a better picture of what was ultimately my tattoo. I'm glad she did. I was a little nervous about what to expect but I knew I was in good hands and had the best experience, way better than I expected. I met several of the other artists and clients and really appreciate their laid back, friendly, and sassy vibe. I can't wait to get my next tattoo and hope it doesn't take me another 20 years to decide what I'll get!

    So completely impressed with this tattoo shop. They are booked out, so I would recommend checking out the artists and reaching out sooner rather than later. I moved from Southern California (I'm asked all the time why I'd leave and honestly if you've never sat in 405 traffic you don't know traffic) last year. I was born and raised so cal so I wanted to commemorate the move and purchasing a house. I've always been obsessed with bears as well as the CA poppy. I got an amazing piece done by Bambi. I couldn't be happier with the piece and it's healing great!

    I got my 5th tattoo at this shop - hands down the BEST experience I've ever had. I contacted the artist, Jacoba, via email, ran some visions and ideas by her and she was 110% committed to making this a masterpiece. I get countless compliments on this work of art every day and I'm extremely happy with how the whole process transpired, as well as the outcome. Jacoba, girl, you're my hero. IN SHORT: If you want a kick a** tattoo - get it done by her!!!

    I'm not a newcomer to tattoos or other body mods, and I can safely say that this shop has far exceeded my expectations.... as well as most shops I have been in or worked in.... and I've had the pleasure (most times) of experiencing shops across oregon, wisconsin, northern California and a whole lot of the shops in the twin cities area. While I can't speak to the other shops work always, I can safely say that the Jackalope ladies are the friendliest staff around. Beyond that, the arm piece that Katie did for me is AMAZING. If youre curious, my tattoo is the one with han and leia in front of the death star in the photos above. surprisingly, we DIDN'T have a whole lot of rough Draft work on sketching. I described what I was thinking, Katie nailed it first time with minor tweaks (we're talking one or two lines). But if I would have needed to scrap the whole thing and start from scratch, well I would have felt comfortable doing just that. Maybe she would have hated me for it.... but I never would have been able to tell. Professional until the end. And SUPER fun conversationalist. Totally put me at ease. go. You won't be disappointed.

    EKG and a lyric from a popular Vietnamese children's song as an homage to my grandmother.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I was in awe the second I stepped through the door. There are beautiful watercolor paintings all over the shop with DINOSAURS integrated into them and jackalope toys or stuffed animals all over too. What's not to love? It felt like this place was made for me (I have a ridiculous love for dinosaurs and had pet bunnies that I adored. Not kidding.) I got my 2nd tattoo here (with Katie) and have another appointment coming up to update my back piece (with Emi). My husband got his 1st tattoo here last month, my best friend got an amazing update on her back piece of her Archaeoptryx, and another college friend has tattoos coming up as well. Addictive? YES. My 2nd tattoo was (in part) an homage to my grandmother. She lived with my family growing up and was like a 2nd mother to me. I got a lyric from a popular children's song in Vietnamese. Katie (my artist) asked me all the right questions and we even had an awesome talk about cultural appropriation. She talked about how they sometimes get people who come in and want Chinese or Japanese characters without knowing what they mean (I reassured her that I am fluent in Vietnamese) or because they think "exotic" equals "cool". Meh. She talked about how she usually just asks people a lot of questions and get them to really think about why they want these characters or not. I am sometimes wary of people's cultural competence when it comes to Asian stuff, but Jackalope Gets It and I so appreciate that. These ladies are smart, nice, and the kind of people I aspire to be. If I could give Jackalope more than 5 stars, I would.

    Keri J.

    Katie is amazing! So easy to work with and so pleasant. She does fantastic work! I told her what I was looking for and she designed it exactly how I pictured it. Going back in a few weeks!

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!

It's been a rough year with losing his mother to cancer, buying a house in a rough market, and the ups and downs of normal life. We chose Tiger Rose Tattoo for their reviews and their ability to do walk-ins was a huge factor. The gentleman who took our initial information was super sweet and kind, it was a $150 minimum but I figured it would be worth it to have quality work done. After putting our names down we came back 30 min or so later & I can't remember our artist but he was in the back corner. We were told before getting our tattoos that the fingers are a different type of skin so rather than doing a line all the way around, it was only on the top. Sounded reasonable enough so we went with his advice. This was my third tattoo so I opted to go first, he did a pretty decent job shaving my finger, cleaning me off, and getting me situated. Took all of 5 minutes and then it was my husbands turn. He got two lines vs I only got one. He didn't have his finger shaved, he also took about 5 minutes and then we got wrapped up, paid $300 for three simple lines total... which is a bit nuts, but we paid and were off on our way. This was on Dec 31st, it's been 2 weeks now and we're not thrilled with the results. It literally looks like someone took a fine tip sharpie and drew two lines on my husbands finger. On the left side of my ringer finger, there's a chunk missing where black ink should be. It's truly absurd how much we paid and we'll have to find a better artist to help either make the lines thicker or just forget the whole idea and have it removed. This was my husbands first tattoo experience and I'm livid with his results. Do not do walkins here... I wouldn't trust them to do any of my other tattoos.

    Best place to get a tattoo, hands down! The artists here (special shout out to Jeff!) are amazing!…read moreThey specialize in clean lines, shading and bright colors! They have walk ins 6 days a week and are closed on Sundays. My friends and I often opt to do the walk in but you should try to arrive a bit before open, depending on the day, because the wait could be up to 2-3 hours. Making an appointment is also super easy! Find the business on instagram, check out the artists work, and DM the person you want to schedule with. They do a good job at putting their own Artist spin on your ideas or will draw something up for you. Thank you so much for working with me!
