Oh come on, Fargo. Get with the yelping trend on this place. Before leaving Fargo, I wanted to get…read morea final tattoo to mark my departure. I called a few other shops, and all of them said I could stop in to discuss my ideas. No problem! My idea was basic, and literally any decent artist could do it. However, most of them treated me like I was a nuisance. Whatever. It's not like I was a paying customer or anything. Finally, someone treated me with respect. The lady helped me by giving me Athena's email address to send her my ideas, so I payed my deposit and was on my way. The time came for my appointment. Since I hadn't met with Athena, I was instructed to come in a little early so she could consult with me and draw up my idea. She started by drawing my quill right onto my arm so I could see the placement. She then drew a quill in three different sizes so we could pick the perfect size. Athena was great about giving me her honest opinion, but still let me make the final decision. We finally agreed on the size, and she began. This definitely wasn't my first tattoo, but I apparently don't handle the wrist very well. I am embarrassed to admit this, but I got extremely light headed. Yep, that's right. I almost fainted. Pause for humiliating laughter. Athena repositioned me and was really great about the whole embarrassing situation. 5 hours later, and I was finished. I seriously cried when I saw it. I'm definitely scheduling an appointment with Athena next time I'm in Fargo. The prices are fair and everyone is really friendly.

I've been to several tattoo studios by now but Bee's Nest has continued to be the standout best…read moreplace! Their vibe is so incredibly unique from other places, if you walked in there you'd immediately get it. It's not your typical rough and tumble, almost intimidating tattoo place but it's a lot more low key, and I guess spiritual? is how I'd say. Another cool thing, it's female owned and all of the tattoo artists and the piercer are women. Girl power!! Steph is my lady, and she is SO TALENTED. Just saying that she is an unbelievably skilled artist is only putting it lightly and not giving her the justice she deserves. She is truly in the right industry. She's also just so nice and down to earth so you feel very comfortable from the get go. Steph's section of the shop has a ton of her watercolor paintings hung up, and I usually just stare in awe at those most of my appointments because they're awesome. Most of the artists have their own art hung up all around the shop which is super cool in my opinion. Just take a look at some of the work Steph's done on me, and you should see just what I'm saying. When she worked on the gems on my arm, she used this special technology to make the gems black and white outlines, and she said she looks at them a specific way, in which she's been trained, in order to bring them to life. It was just so fascinating to me and I know I can trust her with anything. She's done half of my tattoos and I'll keep going to her as long as I am able or anytime I'm in town. She's great at designing ink as well. I had an idea for a tattoo I really wanted but wasn't quite sure how to make it all come together. I told her what I was thinking and she helped turn it into an amazing tat that I get tons of compliments on. I really can't say enough good things about Steph and all the rest of the gals at Bee's Nest. If the other women aren't tattooing they'll come say hi during my appointments a lot and chat and they are all just so sweet and welcoming. I love this place!

Flash forward a few years and I am ready to get some more tattoos. There was an apprentice who seemed to be doing decent so I tried him out and ended up disappointed. Turns out he was not honest about his experience and the reason for his photos of tattoos was due to guidance and teaching that he felt he no longer needed but the end result of my tattoo showed he was not ready to be on his own. I reached out to Athena and she happily agreed to fix it. I was just hoping for a touch up, but she reworked the entire thing and it is now beautiful. I also had another tattoo done by Athena and it is perfect. I will be trusting her with all future work and recommend her to anyone!
