What Locals Say About Mankato Tattoo Shops
“Went to see Brandon for a simple piercing... to relive a portion of my misspent youth. GREAT experience! Hint: piercing "best practices" have changed -a LOT- since the 1980s! Shop was clean, Brandon did a good job on educating me about modern piercing protocols. Discussed my likes/dislikes, placement, aftercare, jewelry options, etc. I pretty much knew what I wanted when I came in the door, so it was easy for both of us. Brandon and I discussed scar tissue from previous piercings, he marked the spot he thought would be best. I verified the spot, picked a hoop, and Brandon got 'er done in no time flat! Wonderful experience! Shop was clean, Brandon was clean, UBSI precautions were followed including proper "sharps" disposal, etc. I'm probably not going to go down any body piercing rabbit holes, but if I did... Brandon would be a great guide! Thanks, Brandon! (Hey, everybody- don't forget to tip your piercer!)”
“Listen, I've been looking for a barbershop in Southern MN for a minute and I've finally found my home. Shawn cut my hair with precision, treated my beard like a work of art... Looking around, this place has all the talent.”
“Super cool place. Don’t usually leave reviews, but John Dickinson knocked my tattoo out of the park. And a really great dude to deal with. Highly recommend.”
