The Feral Tattoo Collective is an absolute new and upcoming gem here in the Twin Cities started by two talented gals, Sarah & Janelle!
Definitely not your average all dark, aggressive, doom and gloom tattoo spot.
The location is in the north loop district of Minneapolis - getting there with the current construction and metered street parking only option was a journey. So leave EARLY for your appointment to scout out a parking spot and battle traffic and or detours.
But don't let getting there and parking scare you because the quality, gorgeous space and professionalism these gals offer makes it worth it!
The space is minimalistic, open, chic and tidy. Super hygienic and organized! The roomy studio is decorated with awesome furniture, art work and plants (loved the succulents). I absolutely adored the natural skylights, marble countertops and concept throughout the place. Another bonus: there's a cute mini fridge and beverages are offered.
Since you'll be spending a couple hours or more in the chair let's talk about comfort. I loved the chair and was able to get in to comfortable positions even though it was quite big.
My experience was nothing short of awesome here at the Feral Tattoo Collective. My artist Sarah took care of me from consultation to tattoo day - she's super sweet, honest and looks out for your best interests. She's a great conversationalist throughout all my moaning and groaning!
What I really noticed was how chill and quiet my tattoo session was when we didn't talk. The tattoo gun was not loud/abrasive and music was not "blaring" like some other tattoo shops I've been to. It was actually very relaxing and I could have easily fallen asleep if I was laying down.
Both Janelle and Sarah expressed that they really want to focus on a custom and personable experience for the client.
My tattoo took about 2.5 hours, hardly bled (Sarah knows what she's doing and was super gentle) and looked fabulous when she was finished.
My final thoughts are check out and give this unique studio a chance for your next tattoo - you won't be disappointed!
Can't wait to see my tattoo when it's all healed up in a couple weeks! read more
