Black Coffin Tattoo

Michelle, the artist who did my piece was lovely to sit for. The staff were friendly and communicative, if you like horror ambience this place has it in spades.

I saw Leyla for a tattoo on May 2nd. My experience was less than stellar. It started with my consultation on April 17th, which she was late for by about an hour. She had then said that she’d have progress of designs in a few days to a week for me so we could collaborate ideas. None came. None came until April 30th. Two days before. At that point, I was incredibly anxious about getting something tattooed on me that I hadn’t even seen yet. At first, the design looked good, and I was excited. My anxiety was quelled. The appointment was Friday and I showed up. We got started, and when I asked about pricing right away, she said, “oh, it’ll be between 800 and 1200.” That’s a big difference. Especially just for an outline. I was thinking she was just estimating high and it would be around the 800 mark. But the appointment went on, and she was very slow. Going over lines that she’d gone over multiple times, and still, some of them aren’t solid, and the thickness varies. Once we’re done with the appointment, I’m surprised with the amount of work I had done for what I paid. 1200 for just an outline. And the real kicker is that recently, I was looking up cybersigilism/neotribal designs for another project of mine, and I saw carbon copies of pieces of my tattoo. From places like Inkbox. I understand using Pinterest and photos from other artists for reference, but if I wanted an Inkbox tattoo, I would have just gone somewhere and done a walk in. Now I have a tattoo on my body that’s not even original art work, that I feel I overpaid for. This piece should have been fully rendered/shaded for 1200. Circled in the photo of my tattoo is what was ripped off of the internet verbatim. There could be more, this is just what I found. I tried to reach out to Leyla a month ago to schedule a touch up, since I told her I would be able to make it in a month later due to my own scheduling conflicts. I haven’t heard back. I’m very disappointed, and each day, I resent this piece more. I’d like to get it redone or covered.

I got both of earlobes pierced here recently- my first piercings. I was nervous and had multiple questions. Mara was very communicative, knowledgeable, and, overall, extremely kind and personable. We talked about the jewelry, and she had some great suggestions and insights based on what I was saying. I have a fear of needles. She showed sensitivity to that and her skill; it was quick and nearly painless without sacrificing care. She explained everything she was doing, gave very thorough advice, and answered every question fully. Getting pierced here may have cost me more than other places, but it was well worth it in my opinion.

Exceptional!! I’ve been many places to get pierced, and this by far had the most attentive staff. I felt welcomed and my whole process was very well done. I did a walk in on a random Wednesday and I got pierced by Sarah. Two lobes and replaced a conch. Sarah and the team were very knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend. They take their time and make sure you’re very informed. I will only be going here for future needs.

Wow, what an incredible experience with Nik today. I walked in, got four minimalist designs, and was out in an hour. Nik was friendly, humorous, and made for an enjoyable first time. I know where I’m coming if I want another! Highly recommend.

I had an incredible, welcoming experience. Erik was friendly, calm, and speedy!

Ivy did such a good job. Such a good experience for a first tattoo!

I got my very first tattoo yesterday (Saturday 07/26/2025) at Black Coffin Tattoo. My overall experience was first class. I checked out several other places, but the moment I walked through the door at Black Coffin I knew that this was the place where I wanted to get my first tattoo. I was greeted by staff who were professional, attentive, and enthusiastic about me getting my first tattoo. My tattoo artist Michelle (@nashxthrash.tattoos) was AMAZING. From initial consult, to answering my questions, to being flexible with scheduling, to design, to applying the tattoo itself, Michelle’s attention to detail and customer service exceeded my expectations. I definitely recommend Black Coffin and Michelle if you’re considering getting any tattoo work done and I plan on going back there for my next tattoo.

Got a flash tattoo out at RockFest and was so excited to hear it was from a Minnesota based shop! Leyla did mine, and two of my friend’s tattoos- all of us are very happy with the work she did. I also came to this shop a few years ago with friends to get nose piercings which was a really good experience as well.

I have been getting tattooed by Michelle Nash and followed her to this shop. The shop is beautiful and always very clean. I love getting tattooed by Michelle because her work is phenomenal and always so clean which is everything I could ever ask for! I always feel comfortable and welcomed by her at every appointment and I won’t go anywhere else. 🖤
