  • Best tattoo shop in the Twin Cities and probably the entire state, hands down. - John A.

  • My tattoo artist was Lindsay and she did a beautiful job. This was a memorial tattoo and meant a lot to me, she handled the design and process better than I could have hoped for. I loved the entire process, she was so attentive and kind, I felt so comfortable. I highly recommend her and I will definitely keep her in high regard for future projects. Her work on Instagram is beautiful, plenty of updates on there. - Alina H.

  • Best place in the whole Twin Cities for Tattoos. The artist at Uptown are the best. - Jack

  • Got 2 tattoos from Brandon & truly I could not be happier. Not only is the tattoo gorgeous but Brandon took the time to make sure I was comfortable. Absolutely going back for my next tattoo. - Athena I.

  • Girlfriend got a tattoo here and the artists were genuinely nice and informative. Lots of cool artwork all around the shop. They play awesome tunes and the energy is very good - Hanson

  • The best tattoo shop in Minneapolis. Period. And newly remodeled (December 2018)! Nic, Dan and crew are deeply experienced, serious artisans. I've had Dan Kytola do four pieces - his work ethic, attention to detail and passion are intense. Definitely worth the investment! - Tim B.

  • This shop is awesome! Super clean. Nic is a great artist and has a soft touch. I would highly recommend this shop!! - Paula

  • I spent days going over reviews of different shops\artists and their work. I finally went to Uptown Tattoo and realized how much time I wasted. Other shops might have 1-2 great artists - this place has 6! Everyone here does great work. Which artist you choose depends on what style you are looking for. New remodel is great - place is clean and welcoming. Everyone from the desk to the artists were professional and really cool. Thanks to Dan for my first large ink! Great work - great conversation! - Steve P.

  • Awesome artists, excellent work, sweet remodel! I've been having work done here for 20 years and will continue to. - Mike H.
