I saw this place driving by the area several months ago which peaked my interest. I recently…read moredecided to go here as I decided on a piercing I've wanted for some time and this place had great online reviews. On their website and socials they mentioned they work to take any walk-ins, which I really appreciated. The day I decided on was quite a snowy day so I wasn't sure if they were still open. With a quick call, I was able to determine they were still open and had time to fit me in before close that day. Matt was the piercer and was friendly and professional. He answered any questions I had and made the experience easy in a comfortable atmosphere. I had my eye on a specific piece of jewelry for the piercing, which wasn't available, but I was shown several other titanium options to pick from and easily found one I liked. The piercing process was smooth and didn't hurt near as much as I thought it was going to. After the piercing, I was even shown a bit of the process to change the color of titanium piercings, which was neat to see. If you want different color jewelry, I'd definitely recommend asking about it. Very comfortable, clean, and friendly environment to get a piercing!

I have been mulling about adding some work to my arm for quite a while. Finally, with my design in…read moremind, it was time to do the work. The person in S. MPLS who has done my work is booked out....for months. So I started looking around for people who do work in the style/manner. Recommendations from friends yielded some results but they were also booked out, or their portfolio didn't look like it was a good fit. Doing a Google search, lo and behold there is a location in Maple Grove, that I have overlooked. Doing a quick review, of the artists work, and consumer comments, I felt pretty comfortable committing to this establishment. The response to my request for the doing the work was quick, and I appreciate the communication. Got the date/time set, and the artist who will do the work. I was paired with Chris Spiegel to slap the ink on my arm Walking into the establishment, you will notice that the front area is very clean, the attendant at the front desk was friendly, and the whole vibe was really inviting and comfortable. Getting the tattoo: First and foremost - Chris did an excellent job! He asked all the right questions. Offered important questions and suggestions that would help the design look its best. During the time in the chair, Chris has a great demeanor, and is able to relate and carry on a chat (who wants to sit in and listen to the piped in music). The other part of this process that impressed me, was how adamant he was about after care - taking care of your tattoo, what to do, what not to do. It has been a couple years since my last work, and I appreciated the refresher. The other item I would mention, all of their staff are very talented, and super friendly. When getting a tattoo, you are entrusting your vision of something can be of significance to you, and you want the end product to be everything you expect it to be. Chris has certainly earned my trust, as well as Ink Sanctum. I will be back for my next project. If it's your first tattoo, or if you are adding on to your tapestry. Please give them a serious look. There is no intimidation walking in, the staff will make you feel welcome, answer your concerns, and provide a grade - A consultation to ensure your tattoo looks as awesome as you expect it to be.

My three daughters and I decided kind of last minute that we wanted to try to get matching tattoos…read moreon Mothers Day (5/10/26) I called around to a few places on Wednesday May 6th and when I got ahold of Scottish Rose, the girl that answered told me immediately that she would send out a group text and see if anybody was available to accommodate us. I got an email from Zac about 30 minutes later, saying he could see us on Mothers Day at noon and just to send him an idea of what we were looking for. Zac was quick to respond to me and to top it off, he came in on his day off to do this for us! When we got there he had a few stencils drawn up for us to choose from (based on the ideas I had sent him via email), he tweaked one of them a little bit for us, and then we got started. The place is spacious, well lit and super clean, we watched Zac take his time to clean up the area and his equipment in between each one of our tattoos. He was fun and friendly and patient with us due to our indecisiveness (remember... 4 women!!). We are all very pleased with the end results and would highly recommend Scottish Rose Tattoo, specifically, Zac!
