BlackEnd Tattoo Atelier

I worked with Paige on my very first tattoo. The patience and attention to every detail (including every lift of the pen) from the signature of the last birthday card my dad gave me before he passed, makes this particular tattoo so special to me. This is a picture day of. She was so careful, I can tell hygiene is extremely important to her. Very thorough and thoughtful in her after care instructions…really put me at ease. The staff were great. One of them even offered to move my car to help me avoid a ticket! I highly recommend both Paige and BlackEnd Tattoo Atelier.

Had a great experience with Paige at BlackEnd Tattoo. The whole process felt really collaborative—she took a pretty simple idea I came in with and turned it into something way more creative than I expected. The piece itself is awesome. Super detailed and realistic, but still has this abstract feel that makes it stand out as her style. You can tell she put a lot of thought into every part of it. The shop has a cool 90s underground vibe—laid back, a little gritty in the best way, and full of personality. Everyone there is super friendly, and it’s obvious they support each other and take pride in what they do. Definitely recommend Paige and the crew if you’re looking for something special.

I have been tattooed a few times here by Paige Mackenzie, and am currently having a half-sleeve tattooed by her. Super LGBTQ+ friendly shop and people. Highly recommend Paige and others in the shop if looking for a tattoo artist in the Twin Cities!

I worked with Paige (Goddess Glyphs) on my first-ever tattoo, a custom, hand-drawn gothic script wristband to honor my late brother-in-law. Paige was terrific to work with from consultation through the sitting and ensured my experience was unique, personal, safe, and perfectly comfortable. And the artwork is truly beautiful, unique, and personal - I'm so happy with how Paige was able to turn my idea into something so special. I highly recommend checking out Paige's portfolio on BlackEnd's website or Goddess Glyph's Instagram. And BlackEnd is such a vibe - a setting that clearly reflects the intentions and aura of its owner and the artists who gather there to hone and practice their craft. I'm so glad my friend recommended I check it out. 12/10 would recommend!

I worked with Emma, I got a custom quarter sleeve of succulents in black and grey and I adore it! I'm pretty new to tattoos and Emma did an excellent job explaining the process and helping me translate my ideas into a tattoo that looks gorgeous and I know will age gracefully. I really liked how she was able to make the tattoo flow to fit my arm while also incorporating all of my favorite succulent species into the design. Emma's workstation was extremely clean and her professionalism was fantastic. I would recommend her and the shop to anyone looking for a stellar tattoo experience.
