I won a gift certificate in a charity silent auction and I've been trying for over a year to get an appointment for a tattoo. I either get ghosted after one email or "left on read" on Instagram. And it's not just the St Cloud location but the Anoka one as well. Worst shops I've ever dealt with and really regret wasting my money on it. I'm just glad the money went to a good cause and not to them. read more

All I can say is I am incredibly grateful for how cooperative and understanding Churtch was in helping me get through piercing and stretching my ears. Along with piercing my nose a month before. The process was smooth, easy, and very quick. I will definitely be coming back for any further piercings. Thank you again. read more

I would love to say that this place was great but to be honest, it definitely didn't live up to my expectations. For starters it cost $240 dollars for a nose piercing which is slightly more than I was expecting. The second thing that I really didn't like is that they don't let anyone else come into the appointment with you as a health precaution. As an 18 year old female, it made me incredibly uncomfortable to be alone in a tattoo parlor with a not so friendly/slightly creepy middle aged man. They wouldn't let my friend come in even though she was wearing a mask and double vaccinated. But the shop was clean and he very knowledgeable about what he was doing. read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND AND DON'T TRUST THEM WITH YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY!!!My review is solely my experience with one piercer: Shane. So I can't speak for the others but after my experience I will never step foot in WingNut again. I made an appointment to repierce my helix I had gotten done there a year prior. I had Kaitlyn-she was amazing and the reason I was going back (she is no longer there). I had the earring but no back which they told me was no big deal. I had emailed 4 times with Dave and was recommended to Shane. When I showed up for my appointment he was short and seemed annoyed. He said he needed to disinfect it and I could come back the next day. Totally understand, but I would have dropped it off prior to my appointed had I known. Due to my schedule I made an appointment for 6 days later. On my way to my second appointment I get a phone call 15 mins before my session is to start. It's the apprentice saying Shane is golfing in a tournament and wanting details to see if he can handle it or needs a piercer here. I get there on time for my appointment and my ring isn't set up for the piercing. The apprentice spends the next 35 mins looking for it. He then calls Shane on his personal phone to talk to me. Shane proceeds to tell me it's "no big deal" and his apprentice is "new and now sure where everything is". Told me he would come in early the next day between 9-10, take his personal number, and he would keep me updated. The next day I text at 10:30 am asking if he has found the ring. He replies with "I'll let you know once I get there". Finally at 1:30 pm I sent a text essentially saying with the lack of communication I take it he cannot find my ring. He then calls and says he has been busy, had the day off yesterday, came in late to take some needed time off, and would look when he can. Beyond irritated, I show up at 5 pm and demand my ring or a refund. He looks for 10 mins, calls me in the back, and admits he cannot find it. He lost my $175 earring. I thanked him for finally owning up to his mistakes and asked for a refund. He was full of excuses. Excuses that didn't even apply to the situation. Had he just owned up to it, or rescheduled my repiercing I would not have been this upset. He was rude, full of excuses (ridiculous ones at that), and honestly didn't care a bit about me. Don't care how "skilled" he may be, his attitude is unacceptable. I would not recommend WingNut and I would not trust them with any personal property!!!!! read more

I went in to get a piercing done a few months ago (naval) and it was a great experience. The guy joked with me and was very informative. When my card didn't work most places get upset he let my guy go get my other one from the house. Love that they only sell high quality piercings because I am allergic to most metals. Will definitely go back. read more

My experience with the staff and owner has always been exceptional. It is a very clean space. I have had both piercings and tattoos by them and have never had any problems or concerns. I highly recommend them! read more

I stopped in to the shop today because a piercing I got (from a different shop) a few weeks ago wasn't healing right. I was originally going to have them switch out the jewelry for me (thought that it was just bad quality and that's what was causing the problems), but once Nick looked at it he told me he recommended taking it out and getting it redone once it healed because the piercing was done completely wrong. He was honest with me and even recommended a piercer he knew at a different shop back where I live, so it wasn't about trying to make money of me getting it re-pierced or anything. He could have changed out the jewelry and taken my money but he knew it was never going to heal, and even charged me nothing to remove the jewelry! I'm very impressed with the professionalism and knowledge that the piercers have in this shop, and it is clear that they actually care about more than just selling/making money. Another note: this was the most cleanly and organized shop I've seen. They had a policy because of COVID where I had to wait in my car until he was ready, had one person in the shop at a time, asked me politely not to touch anything, and everyone was wearing masks and gloves. I felt very safe having him remove my jewelry and felt like it was extremely hygienic! I highly recommend Wingnut and definitely ask for Nick if you're looking for anything piercing-related! read more

It seems like they don't want business. I called about picking up Jewelry and he said I need to make an appointment so I try to make an appointment with the guy and he tells me I have to go on the website to make an appointment are you seriously that lazy read more

I have been going to Wingnut for over 10 years now. I've always had the most professional experiences there, and actually send all of my clients to them. I've had tattoos, and all of my piercings done here. Highly recommend the staff- super knowledgeable- and beautiful jewelry I get a TON of compliments on. read more

Wingnut Tattoo & Piercing Studio - Dermal with gold setting, and two single gold hoops in the nose. - Tattoo Near Me - Saint Cloud, Minnesota

I absolutely love coming here, Shane is absolutely amazing! I have gotten several piercings from him, they have high quality jewelry and they are super knowledgeable. I highly recommend Wingnut for all of your piercing needs :) read more

The guy was very arrogant and it was WAY overpriced. I understand why the jewelry needed to be high quality, but we had to ask repeatedly for a price range and he kept dodging the question. read more

Got my tongue pierced witch I've been wanting to do for 12 years and finally got to do it here and I absolutely love it the place was clean and the staff was great read more

I am leaving a 1 star review because I'm super irritated. I used to have dermals and I ordered new tops for them WAY OVER A YEAR AGO. They JUST called the other day and left a message that they were finally in, they took over a year to get them in the store. Then I call today and I tell them I don't even have dermals anymore seeing as how I literally ordered these over a year ago and pretty sure I paid for them for no reason because I obviously can't use them and whoever answered the phone (female) didn't say anything about $ back or solving the situation when I said I didn't want them because I ordered them over a year ago and can't use them. I'm not sure on the exact date I ordered them but it is over a year since I did. For one why did they take over a year to ship to the store? It's ridiculous. And for two why was I kit offered my full amount of money back? Not only because I don't have dermals but also because of the ridiculous wait time for the dermal tops. Be warned DO NOT EVER ORDER A PIERCING THEY DON'T HAVE IN THE SHOP, you'll spend $ for nothing. What a joke and waste of time. read more

I went here to have new nostril jewelry put in, and Churtch helped me pick out a beautiful new piece. She then took out my other one for me, stretched the hole, and put in the new jewelry. During the whole thing she was talking to me and we made jokes, she ultimately made the experience way more enjoyable. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Terrible service , church was not friendly at all. She did not give specific instructions for the nose piercing that I got. She was only concerned about the money. I do not recommend this place ! read more

Absolutely terrible. Shane helped me pick out new jewelry for my nose piercing. He was rude, impatient and straight up insulted me. Should've walked out, I can't believe I gave money to a business who treated me like an inconvenience for buying a $100 piece of jewelry. read more

Just got my tongue re- pierced by Blake... He did great, much better placement then the prior piercing!!!

My first tattoo and I love it but not sure about the price. Everyone says I payed double what I should have but oh well I like it and my artist was nice and shop was clean . Looks good and healing with no issues. read more

These guys are amazing!! Super friendly, awesome atmosphere; I couldn't have asked for a better tattoo studio. Fairly cheap prices! And again, I can't stress this enough, amazing people. read more

Honestly, the reviews people had posted scared me. I went in to get my nips pierced and I was so nervous. The man who did it for me was absolutely amazing. I was scared about taking off my shirt but he made me feel comfortable about it and that everything is strictly professional. I nervous laughed the whole time and he kept making jokes that made me more and more relaxed. He took his time and did his job. The atmosphere there was fun, and full of humor. Not rude humor either. There was joking about dancing in the shower and talk about rick and Morty. The jewelry there is clean and good, the business is also clean as well! Knowing that he took his time, made sure my jewelry was clean, jokingly talked to my nipple to make me more comfortable that a stranger was sitting there touching it, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I mean the dude that even did it for me had slipped out side and as I was walking up told me to be very careful so I myself wouldn't slip. I really do highly recommend this place despite what others have said. Take this review into your consideration, I chose here over the mall. Yes I spent more here, but my experiences as way better and so was the jewelry that they used. read more

We went here to get my daughter's ears pierced (she's 13). I didn't want just anyone with one of those guns at the mall doing it. This was a great experience. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Shane was very patient and gentle with her which helped her nervousness. He was very clear with her on how she should care for them and she never even had a hint of infection or problems. We wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Horrible service. Went to get nose piercing and aft r she pierced it she gave no instructions. I had to ask about make up and cleaning. She just pierced it and said that's it. All she cared about was getting paid. Piercing was okay but service awful. read more

I got a tatoo here and the artist named Trish or Trista had NO IDEA what she was doing. I has sent them my image via email, which she sd she never received it. Then, I received an email the next day after she messed up saying they did receive my image!My tatoo was 3 tribal symbols and she messed up on one. Wen I had written an email explaining what had happened the response was less then professional, not even an apology! They sd they would forward my email to the 'persons in charge' and also a promise to contact me via phone by Monday. After waiting until tues late afternoon, I finally called the owner Shane, who shitted out on exuse after another. He sd he was a busy man with 4 kids and 4 shops to run.Then he sd that ppl change their images often and they get lost in email. Then, he ADMITTED to me that he doesn't ck his email as often as he should! Now, u think if someone ownes a shop and is in the buisness to artist PERMANENTE IMAGES on ppl, they would be keen on MAKING SURE the tatoo is correct! My artist had the made a few too many lines in one of my symbols. She never even introduced herself, I had to ask her name. My experience 10 years ago was NOTHING like the awkward, unwelcoming atmosphere that women presented. Shane is getting way too sloppy and has apparently has too many exuses to care about his buisness or the satisfaction of his customers. If you are still reading this, I would like to thank u and ecourage u to share this review with all your friends and family.This place doesn't even deserve a one star review. Pathetic. read more

I went to Wingnut to check out their piercing studio and they were extremely friendly and helpful. I ended up getting my ear pierced with amazing jewelry. I will definitely go back and recommend this shop to anyone. read more

Very dirty and shady business!I gave the artist Shane a $60.00 deposit.I was hesitant on giving one because i wanted to shop around a little.He told me numerous times that if i called 24 hours in advance to cancel i would get my money back...Needless to say i decided not to get it and they would not refund my money.They were very rude and unproffesional. read more

Honestly, this place is the WORST. I have never been treated so poorly in my life. I had a pair of $900 barbells from anatometal that were supposedly sent back to get a thread fixed in May, and told it would take 6-8 weeks.... Now its December and after numerous attempts asking where my jewelry is, no one seems to know ANYTHING about them. They are just gone. I thought this place seemed half ass decent, but I was very obviously mistaken. A friend of mine had her septum pierced here as well, and the clicker broke. They told her the same 6-8 weeks speel and she has yet to see or hear anything about her jewelry. Not only are they incapable of doing what they say they're going to, but they don't even care when it comes to telling you that they "don't know". I've spoken with the owner and like 3 other people on this, I'm truly appalled. I've never experienced anything like this, anywhere. As the months pass, I'm getting angrier and angrier. They better figure shit out and come up with my jewelry, because I'm not going to just forget about it. It was a special gift to me by someone who has now passed away. read more
