I finally decided to get my first tattoos and get my ears pierced, by-the-way I'm 73 years old. I…read moreread about Sorry Dad Tattoo and visited the establishment to discuss my ideas for my tattoos. They were very cordial and gave me good advice on my choices. The facility was very nice, warm, and clean. They were very professional and did a fantastic job with my tattoos and piercings. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone looking to get their tattoos and piercings done.

Do not let Jeff give you a tattoo! I don't know if he was coming down off of drugs or what! He was…read moretrembling the whole time- resulting in blown out tattoos and shaky lines. We got completely ripped off. Charged us for an hour a piece and didn't tattoo us for longer than 40 minutes total between 3 people. We were under the impression that we could each have a couple of tattoos and then told us he didn't have time- after we already started. He didn't wash his hands after smoking a cigarette, he didn't wash his hands between different people, and didn't sanitize or shave our skin before the tattoos. I can't get ahold of an owner for a resolution and we already have appointments with different artists to TRY to get these tattoos fixed because we don't trust anybody affiliated with that company to touch us again. They have already been reported to the state, I would be careful with this shop. I received a tattoo by an owner 3 years ago and had a great experience but they have really let the place go.

This is a note to BRING CASH. There's a free ATM at Kwik Trip down the street…read more I've had two experiences at Gitchee Gumee - one piercing and one tattoo. Both were on walk-in Saturdays and excellent! I have bad experiences from past tattoos (artists being rude, not listening to me, not getting what I wanted), and both experiences I've had here couldn't have been further from that. Note that they ask you to not take photos inside, the reason is really cool -- they have various original flash drawings (including work from Sailor Jerry and work for Janis Joplin!!!!) that they are protecting and proudly display on the walls. So cool. Piercing was really easy, they have a set earring that they pierce you with and also other pieces you can buy. I bought a ring here for my mom once! Tattoo walk in was also super simple. We walked up and told the person at the door our ideas for our tattoos, they asked us our budget, took our phone numbers, and told us to go carbo load before our tats. They gave us what numbers we were on the list and gave us a rough estimate of time. We left a $20 deposit to save our spot that went towards our total at the end. We were called (there were 3 of us) separately and only one person is allowed to go in at once. I think this is a Saturday exclusive rule because it's a smaller shop and they are getting people in and out of that door quick. When I was called, I hadn't eaten recently enough, so I ran and grabbed some donuts from the gas station down the street. I came in and sat at the corner while my artist sketched my idea. She showed me the sketch and I gave a quick edit, then we were on our way to sitting at her station. She prepared the spot on my arm and placed the tattoo outline for me to check if I liked the placement. I wanted it to be a little further down and she happily changed the placement for me. The tattoo took less than 10 minutes! She wrapped me up in saniderm, gave me an aftercare sheet and a sticker, and showed me some of Janis Joplin's flash on the wall (like, WOW.) I didn't specify my budget beforehand and she priced my tattoo at $80. I paid the remaining $60 (after my deposit) and left a $20 tip. I had a wonderful experience. A note about walk in saturdays -- you are totally at the mercy of which artist is available at the time. That's the name of the game. If you have a certain artist you'd like to book with, they are happy to make an appointment and have you come in on another day.

Staff were a bit rude and overall unpleasant to deal with. All I could smell were cigarettes from…read morethe moment I walked in. Wouldn't go back honestly, for piercing or tattoo needs.
