Neighborhood Tattoo

Neighborhood is a great spot. The shop is clean, calm, and welcoming. I found it a comfortable place to get a tattoo. I specifically got my tattoo with Ian Richards and I cannot say enough good things about him. He took my inspiration drawings and drew what I asked for while adding his own personal style. He worked with me through last minute details, taking my input seriously, offering opinions when asked but never pushing. If you ever need a needle break - he will gladly give it to you, just ask. Most of all, he was genuinely excited about the tattoo. It looks GREAT. I'd recommend him for anything, but especially if you're getting an animal I'd really consider Ian. He loves animals and does a great job on them, including mine. However, vibes of shop are overall 10/10 so if you're considering another artist I'd still recommend.

You my girl Cody Rose @talkcutetome on Instagram is the absolute best manga tattoo artist in the twin cities. I have followed her from other shops because she does such good work. Fun person to talk to and does very good detailed work. If you are getting something so permanent, do your research and choose an artist you trust. I have chatted with a few of the artists as there and all very nice. They seem to all set very reasonable prices and communicate well. They all take their craft seriously and all their work looks good. 10/10 spot.

The shop is super clean, has a lot of natural light, and the artists are so awesome. I worked with Cody and she brought my dream to life. She answered all my "silly questions" and I felt really comfortable with all the details. She made sure the art fit perfectly on my leg, even had to print two stencils because after the first one she decided to resize and now it is perfect! I drove over 3 hours to get my tattoo and it was so worth it. It is a pretty "open concept" shop, so wear clothes you're comfortable in and gives access to the area you want tattooed.
