What an incredible Studio to stumble upon…read more The shop was located upstairs in an old updated historical building, loved that. I'd say the shop itself was small with no frills but the artists are what make the business anyway. Very patient , very informative, and sterile. My 14 year old daughter was getting her second hole pierced and Danny made sure the location was approved along with setting her at ease the entire process. Post op instructions were verbal and written. It was better than to be expected and recommend to anyone considering a piercing to go to this shop. Very knowledgeable and experienced! The tattoo artist was not in while we were there but assume his quality and reputation matches the owners.

He blocked off 2.5 hours for each of us and worked with us individually to design our perfect Mom tattoo, each unique, different and large/small designs. He was great at responding to all of the design emails i messaged him over Facebook and made us laugh and feel comfortable during our hour day there. Thank you for everything Mitch and i am working on my other tattoo that I plan on getting this winter. Thank you!

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.
