A friend of mine had gotten inked here before, so when I was visiting we spur-of-the-moment decided to go back and walk in to see if we could get another, since she had enjoyed her first experience so much. That's also nice- you can walk in a lot of days here and get tattooed. Since covid that can be hit or miss to come by, and having to set an appointment can be such a pain. So, we walked in and they told us (3 of us wanting to get tatted, by the way) to come back in an hour and they'd squeeze us in, and that's exactly what they did. We all got tattooed by 3 different artists, and it was such a fun time. Everyone in the shop is super laid back and just enjoying the vibes and you could feel it. Mitch worked on my tattoo, and he drew up such a beautiful design I couldn't even believe it, but it was the truth. He was so good at listening to what I wanted and making it come to life, even with just a walk-in, smaller scale tat. I really enjoyed Mitch, he was funny and so charismatic and made the entire experience that much better. One bad thing about the Truth is that they are pretty terrible at answering the phone, so if you call don't expect someone to pick up. You have to find their Google Doc sheet to send a request for an appointment and that's your best bet to get set up there if you don't go in person. We really loved our visit to the Truth Tattoos, and truthfully we will most likely be back at some point because we can't lie and say we didn't cherish our time and now forever inked skin, that's the facts.

I wanted some small tattoos on my hand and fingers that I've been wanting for years but kept putting off. Other shops in the area were quoting me very high prices and couldn't get the style right or would deny me due to the location of tattoos. When I went to The Truth Tattoos, I was greeted right away, multiple artists stepped up to see what my vision was and quoted me an amazing price. Lex was my artist, and she was seriously the best --super chill, confident, and nailed my vision on the first sketch. I even let her freehand some parts, that's how much I trusted her. The whole experience was smooth, quick, comfortable and good vibes. Definitely found my go-to shop, and I'll be sending people their way for sure!

Not saying someone can't make mistakes, but if you have a week to prepare and all the time you need to put the stencil on correctly, you should.

Communication was prompt, professional, and friendly throughout the entire process. I came in with my own custom design, and Sitthixay brought it to life with incredible precision and attention to detail. The final result exceeded my expectations. The experience didn't end when the tattoo was finished. I kept Sitthixay updated over the next few days as it healed, and they continued to be responsive and genuinely interested in how everything was progressing. The timing made this tattoo even more meaningful. It honors Prince as we mark 10 years since his passing, and getting it in June in downtown Minneapolis, just a short walk from First Avenue and Prince's mural, made the experience unforgettable. I decided to have it done in the Twin Cities instead of California where I am from. Thank you, Sitthixay, for your exceptional craftsmanship and professionalism. I couldn't be happier with the result and highly recommend you to anyone looking for a talented tattoo artist.

The place is centrally located, a nice space, easy walk from many downtown hotels. I set up an appointment by email and deposit. They were very responsive and helpful. My artist was DeonTre. Can't say anything but good about him. If you are looking for someone easy going and detail oriented he is your man. I highly recommend taking a look at his work on Instagram, he has talent. One of the things I enjoy about getting tattoos from various artists, each comes with a different vibe. Each artist gives you a small glimpse into their life story. DeonTre clearly is somebody that is worthy of knowing. Even just a short period with him, I found him to be sharp, engaging and interesting. But importantly, I was there for a tattoo, he delivered a detailed carefully constructed badge to my collection. Great experience, nice shop. Check it out.

They also wanted $250/each for three tiny birds and we weren't able to speak to the artist. Ultimately - we decided to check out other shops in the area and found Grey Duck which ended up being best case scenario! We walked in and were helped immediately by Angel (@angelmontoyatattoos) who was able to get all three of us in for our sister tattoos at $100 a piece! He was kind, laidback, and incredibly patient which I really appreciated. Getting a tattoo is a lifelong commitment and having an artist who says things like "I will re-stencil as many times as we need to get it perfect so take your time and make sure you love the placement!" is SO important. Especially because my sisters are younger I love that they felt comfortable and empowered to make every decision they needed to without pressure! Shop was clean, the vibes were on point, we had a blast, and we left loving the work we got done! I truly couldn't ask for a better walk-in experience.

I'll make a list to keep this brief- but here's some reasons why I was so impressed with her: -She sat me down and talked to me about my piece -She took out some books in her shop- NOT tattoo books, actual books of artwork and drawings from different cultures, hardbound- to find the specific type of design I wanted, and compared it with other similar designs in case I wanted to change it up -She custom drew the piece while looking at my arm, incorporating it into existing tattoos I already had on my arm (to make a sleeve) THEN she began to charge. So the drawing of the tattoo, the consultation, all which took about 30-45 minutes, were free. Amazing. Try finding that anywhere else. Also, if you're a first timer, she walks you through the process with breathing exercises. My experience with her was lovely. Her shop was warm, smelled of incense and was very GLBTQ friendly. I highly, highly recommend her. Her shop was the only place I left feeling BETTER after my tattoo. Plus my work is solid, no scarring and no bleeding. Great skill. She's conveniently located within Uptown, and her shop has parking.

To start, I will say that Kore was fabulous while tattooing. She made it a great, calm atmosphere…read moreand a pleasant experience. However, everything before the needle hit my skin was anywhere from awkward to intimidating. I got my tattoo in May 2010. When I first came in, I had never had a tattoo or talked to any shop about them. I gave the front desk man an idea of what I wanted and asked what I should expect for price. He said he couldn't give me an estimate. Even ballpark? Not really. So I had no idea where to go from there. He told me I could make an appointment and that once it was drawn I could get a better idea. I assumed that this was just how it was... so I gave the deposit and left feeling uncertain. When I got to the appointment, I sat with Kore and we drew out my idea. I had a very rough sketch with me. She stuck to my sketch a more than creating her own interpretation. She questioned a lot of my suggestions which it made it hard to be persistent about what I wanted. Like I said, the tattooing process was great, and we had some nice chitchat during the session. I came back a couple months later because my mom had pointed out (since my tattoo is on my back I can't see it super well) that some areas were a bit more "faded" than others, just not completely uniform, so I went in to ask about a touch-up. Pretty standard procedure. The guy at the front desk told me it didn't look faded. I had nothing to retort, since I can't see it and point to where it was. So I have a slightly faded looking tattoo. Overall, she's a good artist, but I would have appreciated a little more support and graciousness. I was 18 and it was my first tattoo, maybe it was my age that made them question me, but it really didn't help me get the best tattoo I could have gotten. That being said, I don't regret my tattoo.
