What locals say about St Cloud tattoo shops

Pulled from Google reviews of the top-rated shops in St Cloud.

“Best shop I’ve been to! Everyone is super friendly and inviting. The shop is always clean and the vibes are always positive! Had a second session done today on a beautiful Medusa piece by PGEE, by far my favorite tattoo I have. I’m excited to have it completed and continue to go to this shop for more art in the future.”
Audrey Gammell on RocketUp Tattoo
“Derek Gottlieb is superb with designing an getting all the intricate details! Ive gotten almost all my pieces done by Derek Gottlieb over the last couple of years and each one is absolutely everything and more than i had hoped for. I love that i can send him inspiration pictures and he recreates them to be so much more, his creative talent is absolutely incredible, which is why I always appreciate the time and detail he puts into each piece! Not to mention the professionalism and kindness he always has, makes for the best experiences as well.”
Tesha Strenge on Cream City Tattoo
“A good tattoo shop, but I'm not sure I'll be coming back. I worked with Brandon "Moose" Flicker as my tattoo artist. He did an amazing job on the tattoo, came up with sketches and freehand parts quickly, and overall the results are better than I could have imagined! However, I did not like the way Moose presented himself, and he was quite rude, especially when making conversation during the tattooing process. He was very negative about my political views, religion/faith, and other such topics, and seemed to want to argue about them. I also got the feeling that he maybe thought poorly of women, often making comments about how "most/all women are..." then filling it in with whatever remark he had to say. He did not make me feel comfortable being there, especially noting when he brought up the topic of p*rn and his opinion on the quality of it (which has no place in a professional setting, especially when he was tattooing a woman less than half his age (myself) and without really any prior segway into the topic, from what I remember.) All this being said, I am extremely happy with the physical results of my tattoo. The art is well done and is healing incredibly. The shading is absolutely spot-on, and like I mentioned before, the results are better than I could have imagined!”
