Reviews of Ace Tattoo & Piercing

Emma B

i got my septum pierced and from the first phone call to the end of the appointment my experience was 10/10 they were willing to take me last minute, were super friendly and funny, and did a great piercing. the piercer was super funny and made me feel super comfortable the entire time. and the gong at the end was maybe the best part. if your going to get a piercing i highly recommend here

Richard Tillery

I had a great experience working with Randy and Su. They responded quickly to my inquiry about a design and the cost. I was able to schedule the appointment quickly and at a day/time that worked for me. They also gave me input and advice on a tattoo that I may cover-up and I found their ideas and advice very helpful. The whole experience (from the initial email, to scheduling, to the actual work getting done, to future work) was nothing but fantastic. I really enjoyed talking with them and feel like I got to know them. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Ace to anyone looking to get work done.

Amber Tverstol

Randy went out of his way to give me a last minute appointment for two piercings. He was funny and relatable! He’s professional and made sure I liked the placements and understood aftercare instructions well! 10/10 would recommend people get their piercings here. Not to mention they have very pretty jewelry to choose from (:

DJ Brennhofer

Been here twice now for eye brow piercings (pieces come with the pierce in price) and my wife and I are happy with the pierce and the experience! Randy was a blast to do these with, which is different compared to other joints. He was also super flexible which was fantastic for my 2nd visit. My Sister-In-Law got the Daith Piercing and since has no headaches or migraines! Highly suggest it. Fun experience, worth trying them out :) Thanks Randy

Betsy Bain

I got two piercings here a few weeks ago and was happy with the results. Unfortunately, I had some healing issues that were pretty much unavoidable. I called Ace and they got me in within 20 minutes to clean, put different piercings in, and made sure I was satisfied. Would definitely recommend!

Lissa Li

I came in with very little notice (I called ahead) and Randi fit me in for 15 minutes later! Many of the reviews mention the door being locked—Randi explained to me that since COVID-19 shutdowns, he’s required to do appointment only, so the door must be locked at all times so people don’t just walk in. It keeps the shop clean and safe. I had my septum piercing stretched a little bit, since it shrunk from not having my ring in it. Randi was kind and funny and during the piercing itself he did he best to distract and calm my nerves—I could tell he’s very experienced! I cannot speak to the tattoo experience as I did not get a tattoo, but my piercing experience was great. Randi provided me with cleaning and aftercare instructions. I followed the handout and I haven’t had any issues (2 weeks after.) I will be returning! Thank you for having me in, Randi!

Cassie Cabor

I have had a couple of piercings and tattoos over the past couple years and I would never go anywhere else! Sue and Randy are so accommodating and create a fun atmosphere! Randy does an awesome job at fixing tattoos he didn't do as well!

McKayla Kittleson

I went to Ace Tattoo & Piercing for a septum piercing. Randy was fantastic! I am prone to getting light headed and fainting and he checked in with me often to make sure I was doing alright. We ended up having to do the piercing twice because the normal placement wasn't going to work for my nose. Randy said it was crooked and I wasn't leaving his shop with a crooked septum piercing! My entire visit was great. He was relaxed and he made the experience fun for me. I would highly recommend seeing Randy for your future piercings.

Angelica Daley

My husband and I have gotten all 6 of our piercings here and let me tell you- what an amazing selection of jewelry! I also got my tattoo here and not only did the tattoo turn out beautiful, but the experience of getting a tattoo was so memorable. The shop is themed and has absolutely stunning decore and wall art. The owners are so nice and funny which helped soothe my nerves. I got some numbing cream to help the pain as well. And when I was done I rang “the Gong of Courage”! This place is the whole package.

Stephanie Stanley

Wonderful experience for both myself and my daughter. I received a beautiful tattoo at a great price, I will be back for more! My 12 year old daughter was having issues with a cartilage piercing and I was having a issue finding some help, but ACE had me bring her right in and got her all fixed up with cute new jewelry. Thank you again!

Megan Weetman

I got a cartilage piercing here a year ago and just went to get the jewelry changed. I have a great time when I come here and the atmosphere makes the experience fun. They have a huge selection of jewelry that is good quality but not overly expensive. I will be coming back again!

Gary Hitt III

Don’t listen to the bad reviews saying he’s rude. He looks very intimidating but he’s a very nice and kind guy, got my nose pierced and almost passed out. He waited to make sure I was okay and got me some water and made me feel comfortable. Very nice guy, he didn’t need to do that but he did and it made the whole experience 10x better. Just be respectful and he’ll do the same. Definitely will be going back

Shaadia Munye

Both my sisters and I got a total of 3 piercings, 2 replacements, & an earring to take home. They had the most amazing selection& Su was so incredibly patient/sweet with all of us. Randy is the man, very calm & efficient. We’ll be back soon!

Joie Ehmke

Randy was sooo good with my 15 yr old daughter. He pierced her nostril and made her laugh and everyone there was so kind and wonderful! Wish we would have found them first instead of attempting to mess with Almost Famous and their B.S. and highly over rated prices!!! Ace Tattoo & piercing is the oldest tattoo parlor in MN! That means the most EXPERIENCED!! They've been in business in the same location for over 40 years!! I will DEFINITELY be going there for my first tattoo!!

Linda Hersom

Randy and Sue are very professional. They take extra care in providing service. Their follow up was exceptional. I recommend them for your next tattoo.

serenity kurtti

just got my eyebrow pierced here. Randi was so nice and professional. Very clean environment. Piercing was fast and painless. Over all if your looking to get a piercing definitely come here.

Jaime Bergren-Hanish

Randy is top notch cool guy with a great little shop. I had a wonderful and clean experience getting three piercings at once. I will be back.

joseph simmon

Brought my daughter here to get her ears pierced for the second time. So much better than going to Claire's. Better choice in jewelry right from the start and less likely to get infected. I'd gladly bring all my children back here for all their ear piercings in the future.

Aidan Scullin

Got my septum and eyebrow done here excellent customer service, both of my piercings turned out absolutely amazing, they have fantastic jewelry options, and they tattoo artist made me feel very comfortable. 10/10 would recommend

Oleg Potapenko

I came here on a recomendation of a friend looking for someone who knows what they are doing so i took my daughters here to get two lobes and a daith peirced. Emily was so good to my 7yr old who is a chatty and Randy was eaqualy awsome to both my girls and was verry knowligble in his craft, watching him work and be as gentle as one can be was great. The gong of bravery was a special touch. My night and weekend so far are full of thank you's and I love you's. Thank you Randy and Emily. We will be back for more piercings and will recomend to anyone looking for the same.

toni robinson

Ace Tattoo is amazing, we haven’t had a bad experience! Each time me and my son go there, we get treated like a close relative. They also engage with my 11 year old. And he loves it.

Beetle Singer

I just got my nose piercing done there and they were very nice. They got it done fast and were both great people. They also had a fun surprise at the end!

AMBER ANDERSON

He is the most amazing tattoo artist there is I don't trust anyone else he truly is one of a kind he did a memorial for my grandma and my daughter my son's footprint and my Mary Jane leaf that I just got done I would highly recommend him he's a really big sweetheart

M Cee

These people treated my wife and I like family. I had an absolutely amazing experience. I fully support the old school business mentality and will be a return customer. Thanks again y’all, I can’t wait to come back and ring that gong!!

Marcus Cox

Kind, professional, great tattoo work. Priced well and great service. Thank you for a great experience. Get to ring a gong after too!!

dhahn705

Randy and Su are the best!! They helped with a re-piercing for my wife. They made it so easy. Appreciate you guys.

Ita me yelly

The owners are both amazing awesome do a great job theres definitely no other tattoo shop i would go,my 14 year old daughter just had her nose pierced they were great what a amazing shop

Cristina R

Randy was great! Very accommodating to my wants for my tattoo and a pleasure to be around! Thank you!!

A J

This place was great! They got me in on super short notice (like 30 minutes) and were incredibly nice on the phone. It was such a welcoming environment. The women who helped me select jewelry was super knowledgeable, and they had a great selection. Randy was very reassuring and fun which made the appointment very enjoyable. They were both very welcoming to my friend and I, and we had a great time. The only thing I didn’t know was that it is cash only, but they do have an ATM. I absolutely love my nose piercing!

David Wehmhoff

Experienced and professional, I found it wonderful to get tattooed by Randy at Ace! The process was efficient, no more painful than any tattoo should be, and as pleasant as any tattoo can be. I'd highly recommend stopping in if you need a new tattoo or piercing, you'll be in good hands.

Michael Casey

I had a tattoo done by owner and artist Randy about 10 years ago. I was very happy, so I came back. This tattoo is the Chinese characters for "Shaolin Kung Fu". I've practiced it for over 10 years. It's important to me, so I wanted to be sure they looked clean and calligraphy-like. Randy really knows how to do tattoos and he has over 30 years of experience. I consider that part of the cost. I'm happy to pay for skill and experience. The tattoo never got very red or swollen, it healed really well. Within 4 days I had no swelling or redness! The picture is one week after I got it and it's almost completely healed. Make sure to do what Randy tells you on aftercare and you'll be happy. Ace Tattoo is my first choice when getting a tattoo! :-) Ready to re-ink the first one!

Celia Knight

Got a belly button piercing. Great people very friendly. Was quick and easy definitely recommend!

Lola Lezama Cruz

Randy did both of my surface piercings and I love them!!!

Heather West

Randy was awesome did my piercing as painless and quick as possible. Amazing job on my moms tattoo and also did a rose tattoo that I love. I am always getting compliments on my tattoos!! I will always come back!

Joshua Fritz

I have had a number of piercings from this great couple. They do a wonderful job at a good price.

Jill Olson

Several tattoos over the years. Love the atmosphere, love Randy and Sue, love my tattoos! Thank you!

Angela Brahler

Honestly, it was a fun experience because my friends and I got tattoos together but the lines on my tattoo are pretty shaky and the thickness of the lines aren't consistent.

Jessica Ella Alston

Got my nose pierced here I highly recommend them very clean and friendly. And affordable!

Megan Hallanger

I wanted my nose pierced. Called and was in the same day. Randy was very nice and made me feel relaxed. He helped me pick out the right jewelry for my piercing, and did a great job. The shop was clean and bright and inviting. The price was very reasonable. I would recommend this shop if you are looking to get a piercing!

Celia Brokaw

Very great experience! Came in with a friend to get a tattoo and she got a piercing, we are both very happy with Randy’s work! My tattoo came out exactly how I imagined it and was very well done. Great environment as well :) would definitely go back for a second tattoo!

Fatima K

I’ve been happy with the service I’ve received from this tattoo shop. Very nice work

Heidi Anton

We have received 3 piercings, and the service is excellent. No problems, very calm atmosphere. Fun little shop. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Very sanitary, professional, and would highly recommend! Also, the inventory and selection of piercings is great.

Matilaine Sweet

Went in for a walk in with a buddy of mine. The place is cool, they were super welcoming. I got a simple tattoo that ended up costing me $240 (the same amount my buddy paid for his) when I was in the chair for about 20 minutes. Randy offered to fix them free of charge to help us love our tattoos. And refund the overcharge for my tattoo. His personality definitely helps lighten the mood! Super nice and helped us fix our issues with original finished product. Thank you! (Will post photos at a later time) (:

mae knoell

i had my septum done and randy was great! he was super nice and i was a little bit scared but it was good. i have a low pain tolerance but it wasn’t even that bad. i wasn’t confused about aftercare at all and i knew exactly what i was supposed to do. i love my piercing so so so much and it’s great. the placement was great. he didn’t have the exact jewelry i wanted but randy was able to flip around the ring to pierce it the other way so the jewel wasn’t there. he was super super nice to me and my mom. thank you so much! 10/10 recommend this place.

Emppyre

great service, got my first piercing done at Ace

Alexandra O'Brien

Randy is my go to tattoo guy and his wife is the sweetest person. They are both super professional and friendly. Randy has done 8/11 tattoos I have. And he’s pierced the left side of my nose. He makes sure I’m ready and relaxed before sticking needles in me. Funniest guy alive & I will continue to go here for the rest of my life.

Mary Traxler

Randy did an amazing job on my nose piercing, he was very clean & he made me feel comfortable before doing it. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to get a piercing or a tattoo. Thanks Randy.

Christen Anders

My first time here and I will definitely be going back! Mr. Randy and Ms. Sue gave me a fantastic experience & a forever piece that brought me to tears! Couldn't be more grateful to the both of you!

Jamie Elizabeth

I just finished with my tattoo at Ace with Randy, it was a wonderful experience! Randy was very skilled and made sure I was comfortable the whole time as I got my tattoo on a pretty painful area. The tattoo itself turned out beautiful, and Randy was great at calming my nerves throughout. Would definitely recommend and will be back very soon!

Tea Tester

I went to Ace Tattoo & Piercing on like Friday, I called and booked for the same day. I got my tongue and belly button pierced. I didn't look at reviews until after I had already got my piercings. It seems like a lot of 50/50 ratings. Like either great ratings or terrible ones. For me I had a good experience. Randy was super cool over the phone and his shop was very clean and gave amazing vibes. I was very nervous but Randy helped me calm down a little. He also let my little sister sit with us and watch me get pierced. So far everything has been really good. My tongue piercing seems a little crooked but it could just be from swelling. It still looks great. Everyone has been telling me that my belly button was pierced wrong but I look online and it seems to be in the perfect spot. Only thing I can really say that Randy didn't do best was inform me on how to clean my tongue piercing. I was told to just leave it alone and that you didn't have to clean it. But I looked it up and found out you have to rinse your mouth with piercing Salt twice a day and brush your teeth 3 times a day. I don't blame Randy for this though because it's not entirely his fault. I would definitely get more piercings from him and I might even book a tattoo appointment with him. He seemed really cool and I didn't feel weirded out at all. THANK YOU RANDY!!! I wanted my tongue pierced for years and my uncle had one too... He told me he would take me to get my tongue pierced and it feels like I made him proud by facing my fear of this. So thank you Randy. Keep up the great work.

Erin McKee

I went to get a tattoo with my boyfriend and we walked in at 1:30 and were out by out 3. From the moment we walked in we felt very welcomed and comfortable. Randy did a great job on both of our tattoos and has a great sense of humor which some ppl on here don’t seem to understand that it’s humor, which is a shame because he so funny. I would highly recommend them, they were clean professional and very personable.

Anthony Palumbo (BLORTH)

I had my first tattoo done by Randy and I wholeheartedly recommend him and his services for anyone, whether it be their first tattoo or their hundredth. Great sense of humor, did my touch-up for free, and made the entire experience enjoyable from beginning to end. I look forward to getting more work done by him in the future! Thanks again Randy! You're the best!

Sean Marrs

Got my daughter's ears pierced here and it was an amazing experience! They were very gentle and encouraging with her. Randy was awesome. Quick but thorough and accurate. After she was done, she got to bang the "Gong of Courage" and they gave her a Certificate of Bravery. I would definitely recommend taking your kid to get their ears pierced here by an industry veteran in a clean shop compared to Claire's or some other mall shop.

Tony 2Nutz

Randy does excellent work. Very clean shop. He and his wife are very courteous and took excellent care of me. I had my name tattoo'd on my knuckles. Posting photo of Day 1, will update. Thanks Randy!

Sarah

I went in to get my conch piercing, and I like the piercing however I worry about an infection. I specifically asked the piercer for instructions about cleaning my piercing, but he only gave me two q-tips (as if that'll last). He told me to just clean it with warm water and a q-tip which does not seem right when I consider all other advice I've received from previous piercers. The pricing was good, but I won't be back.

William Beeks

I got my ears and nose pierced here at Ace about a week ago. Shop is nice and clean with a good amount of jewelry selection for piercings. Randy is a very nice guy that is professional and also a good multitasker. Overall I had a good experience here at Ace and I’d definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to get any body work done. Thank you Randy!

purlentae !

me and my friend came here to get our noses pierced together. He was very friendly and had a good aura to make us feel less nervous! my friend isn’t the best around needles, and when she was feeling a bit dizzy they let her sit down and drink some water, took care of her real well! as for me, he cheered me up as i got it done. it’s a great place to get a piercing done!

Lindsey Will

They worked us in Immediately for three of us to get our ears pierced, Randy was funny and dealt with my freaking out the entire time very well. Thought the price was reasonable, everything was sterile and packaged, I felt comfortable with him as a professional, just super scared of the pain to come. Price included any of the jewelry in the case.

Glenda Williams

I am 54 years young and I went to Ace Tattoo to have my nose pierced, I was so scared but Randy was so beautiful in helping me to stay calm, which was very soothing. I had such a great experience that anytime someone would ask me if I knew of a great tattoo place to get a tattoo and I would recommend Ace. On 7/19/2017 I had a massive heart attack that ended with me having a triple bypass, well I wanted to get a tattoo to represent my survival, so I went back and asked their opinion on how I could do this? I had an idea, and they put it into action and I love it. I would recommend Ace to any and everyone !!

Thea Cote-Narem

Randy was amazing when he did my parents and my tattoos, he made sure they were clean and perfect. It was my very first tattoo and they had planned it as a suprise, when we got there Randy acted as if he had never seen or spoke with us before and made the experience great. He made it comfortable and a pleasent day. He was very flexible when we had to go and come back to finish.

Ann S

Ace Tattoo and Piercing! What an incredible experience from start to finish! I highly recommend this place to anybody who is a stickler for great work, wonderful atmosphere, professional service, and the desire to have the whole experience come out at above an A+! Randy Culver is the man who you want to see! I've been looking to get a cover-up for over 9 years, and he has worked a miracle. I truly never liked anybody else's work, and found a priceless gem in Randy and his craft. He really knows what he's doing, he's easy going, and I'll not be going anywhere else except to him. It took forever for me to find someone who is beyond 100% capable, but I have found him and his name is Randy Culver!:) I would recommend this place to my family, that's how much I love it! I can't wait to come back and see Randy and get more work done, tomorrow waits for no man or woman! Love my tattoo, love this place, you will too trust me! :)

Andreas Nahr

Randy is a fantastic tattoo artist! A consummate professional who takes is craft very seriously and with pride. He was very sensitive to my subconscious fear of needles and took a nice long break when I felt woozy about 1/4 of the way in, gave me a glass of water and a tootsie pop, and made 100% sure I was comfortable after. I'd recommend Ace Tattoo to anyone. Thanks Randy!

Mike Neubauer

My girlfriend and I just happened upon this place and they fit us both in to their schedule as walk ins. Randy is a super funny guy who is very good at his trade, my tattoo turned out amazing and he was great at making light of tattoos to relax and reassure my girlfriend of the pain. Definitely will be returning here for more tattoos.

Kelly Henning

Randy is awesome! I've gotten 5 piercings done by him and not only does he do great piercings but he makes it a great experience all around. I know I can count on Randy and will definitely return to Ace very soon!

Terri Penshorn

Randy is calm and reassuring. His place is spic and span! I am thankful for the friendly service I got there twice. Once to get my piercing and once to change my jewelry. Highly recommend!

Megan Kendall

My friends and I walked in here today for tattoos and are SO PLEASED with Randy. We had the very best experience here and could not be happier. He was funny and personable and made us all feel calm. We will definitely be back!!

Ian Le

I finally made up my mind that I was going to get the tattoo's that I wanted. I went into Ace, made a walk in appointment, and had my ink done the same day. Randy did an awesome job. Couldn't have asked for more for my first tattoo experience. He was very polite, courteous, and professional. Make no mistake--this shop is clean and up to standards. I could tell from the way he interacted with other clients that he knows his business and I will be back back sooner rather than later. Would definitely refer to others!

Heather C

They were very friendly and caring and excellent customer service! Randy did an absolute fabulous job with my piercing and I highly reccomend him for anyone looking to get a piercing or Tattoo😊 …

Tracy Benoit

Randy is the coolest most talented tattoo artist! He makes the whole tattoo experience fun! I took my 18yr old daughter to him for her Tree of Gondor tattoo and another tattoo and he nailed it! It's beautiful! She is overjoyed that it turned out so beautifully! Thank you Randy! We'll be back again!

Caitlin F

Cannot recommend enough - Randy is great and does an awesome job. Staff were super friendly!

Danelle

I had my ears pierced long ago. One ear piercing had ripped and needed to be surgically repaired. I had Randy pierce my one ear again. He was extremely gentle and my ears piercing are now even and happy. Thanks for a great experience.

Marissa Pillatzke

Randy was amazing! Very, very friendly and was so comforting. I highly recommend him. He did excellent work! Also, him and his wife are the cutest couple!

Sabrina

It was a very clean and welcoming environment! Randy was very nice and sweet. All piercing supplies were sterilized and my nose was cleaned very thoroughly. I love it so much! Thank you Randy!

Ava Kallop

I got my nose pierced here. They were super professional and friendly, made sure to clean everything, and the piercing turned out really nice. They also stressed that I knew how to take care of it. Would recommend!

Lori Russeth

Oh my word this is a great place to get a tattoo. I called last minute and Randy was able to get me in. I was laughing the whole time. Sue makes sure everything looks right and Randy was so fun to work with. I will tell everyone I can! Thanks for a great tattoo.

J Cote

Randy help me plan my daughter's surprise 18th birthday tattoo. He was very detail orientated and paid attention to exactly what we wanted even when we had to change it multiple times. It resulted in a great family experience for my daughter's birthday and was really flexible and being able to finish all of our tattoos that same weekend. We love Randy!

Lisa Popp

I had a great experience at Ace tattoo!!! Randy is great artist. I got a piercing done! He has a great array of jewelry. A clean and professional shop. Su is a wonderful concierge and she was super helpful in helping us pick out our choices!!! Come see Randy and Su for your tattoos and piercings!!!

Nickelle L

Randy is the one who did my Daith piercing. I have had migraines since I was very young. I have had at least one migraine a day - or one that lasted for days. And now I have not had one headache since the piercing. Randy made everything smooth going and as painless as possible. I would recommend this place and Randy for any piercing a person may want or need.

drobin3739

My wife and I got matching tattoos back in February, the place was busy and randy was loving it. Work the front counter with style and was able to do the tattoos for us in a calm environment. Can't wait for the next tattoo, thank you for all you do randy!

Sandra Ness

Randy was great! He spent the time that was needed to get just the perfect size and location for my first tattoo. I loved that I could walk in and have it done all at the same time. What a great mother's day present to myself! The celtic motherhood knot tattoo looks awesome!

Amanda Quinn

Randy and Su are so friendly and helpful. They made sure my tattoo is just what I wanted. The atmosphere is comfortable. I'll never go anywhere else for tattoo or piercings.

Ceara Dowell

Samantha Savageau

Randy was awesome! Best tattoo experience I've had. He is very kind and a lot of fun. I will be coming back for my next tattoo. The atmosphere is great!

Louise Moran

My experience was awesome! Who ever wants a tattoo must come here and if you haven't thought about getting one then change your mind and get your butts here! My tattoo artist was Randy and he did an amazing job! Thank you! 5 stars !

Suzanne Tucker

Inking an image permanently onto your body is a big decision. That is why the location and the artist you choose is very important. You can do no better than ACE TATTOO in Golden Valley. Randy Culver makes getting a tattoo, whether it is your first or your tenth, an experience you will long remember. Randy's talent, long-time tattooing experience, dedication to excellence, charm and sense of humor all add up to exceptional results. The shop is extremely clean, which I think is very important, and their concern for proper aftercare makes ACE TATTOO the best shop around. I speak from experience when I tell you not to consider any other shop for your lifetime tattoo. If you are considering body piercing, ACE TATTOO is also the place for all your piercing desires. The end results are beautiful.

Amanda Culver

Ace Tattoo is an incredible tattoo shop. It has a very comfortable atmosphere. The people are relaxed and helpful. They do beautiful work. The shop is very clean and all the tools and jewelry they use are sterile. This is a perfect place for a child's first earpiercing, small or large tattoos, custom tattoos, and tons of piercing options. They also have an awesome selection of jewelry. They also offer topical anesthetic for people who like tattoos but not the pain!

Sumana Haji

Just got my Tragus Pierced With Randy and I must say he is truly the best! My piercing was Painless and full of Laughter! im not a huge piercing person but I would pierce Every week with Fun people like them! Amazing painless experience and LOVE my piercing! Very Professional Clean and Hygenic! which was my biggest concern!

Michelle Phathachack

Went in wanting a tattoo right away & Randy was available to do it right then & there & I had a wonderful experience. The pain from the tattoo was unbearable but he made it less painful by making me laugh & i definitely am seeing him again for my next tattoo! Thanks Randy!

Tianna Brown

Just got my septum pierced there today, loved the environment! And plenty of choices of jewelry. Definitely recommend, I will be going back again.

Kasey Maloney

Had a Daith piercing done here a few days ago, and had a great experience. Very clean shop, awesome selection of jewelry, and Randy was very friendly and professional!

Rebecca Johnson

Randy was just the best to work with! He does outstanding tattoos and all my piercings have been great, no problem at all(: Highly suggest!

Natalia Green

This place was great! I got my nose pierced and it went very well. Randy was gentle when he was doing the piercing and Su was fun and encouraging! Very clean, too. Would definitely reccomend this place for anyone wanting a piercing!

Shira Shakti

My experience at Ace Tattoo & Piercing was simply terrific. Randy was personable and worked hard to successfully execute the tattoo I envisioned. Awesome tattoo artist, awesome place. HIGHLY recommend.

Julia Sanders

Such a fun experience here! Honestly could not have gone to a better shop. I’m super happy with my piercing and they made it such a fun experience:)

Melanie May

Randy was amazing. Did exactly what I wanted . Him and his wife are Very friendly and the shop is very clean .... I am very impressed 👏 definitely would recommend to all . And will be the only place I go in Minnesota... 💯❤ …

twisted kitty

I have been going to this place since I was I would say 16 and now 40. I have had both tattoos and piercings done there. Tattoos always good, piercings not so much. I have had 5 done there and only one made it. My belly button was pierced too deep the first time , had it redone years later and worked out. I recently had a surface piercing done and had a black eye also for a few weeks. Seems like they have heavy hands and go for the kill when piercing. Unfortunately after my last piercing I won’t go back.

Jessica Elsenpeter

Randy is the man. Me and 2 girlfriends went in for spontaneous friendship tattoos and he reminded us tattoos are about the experience, you, and who you're with and what that moment holds. I am done with mine and my 2 friends are doing theirs now. How exciting. :)

Nicole Montague

Randy does a fantastic job and has a great shop his work and detail is amazing very professional and highly recommend him for tattooing and pericing the quality is definitely worth the value. I'll definitely be back for more tattoos.

Koren McGowan

Randy is amazing!! Just got my first tattoo from him and the whole experience was fun and he made my tattoo better than I had visioned it to be!! Definitely coming back for more!!

Christine Gremillion

Randy was great! This place is a gem.

Christie Parrish

They are so awesome! I had lost a ball from my new earrings that I got pierced out of state and they found a replacement and didn't even charge me for it. I will definitely return to buy earrings from them from now on.

Charles demoss

Angel Holmboe

Randy was very nice to me and my mom when we first came in. I am only 17 and I decided to get my belly button pierced and really didn't know how well this would go though he was calm and asked how I doing the whole time. Thank you so much, highly recommend

Craig Johnson

I've been coming to ace tattoo for 25 years now. Randy is a wick awesome guy and does exceptional work. I highly recommend ace for any tattooing and Piercings.

Nirvana Rodriguez

Place was clean 🧼 and Randy was great. Went in for a nose piercing... he pierced it right away with minimal pain. Very professional and, I will be coming here for future piercings 😎 …

Noah Dehn

I wrote a five star review because I was pressured to do so by the shop owner. I didn't want to tell him that a wedding band tattoo was not challenging and that my wife and I only went there because our first choice refused to tattoo hands. The experience was pretty mediocre, and even if it was great, asking for me to pull out my smart phone and give him a five star review before leaving the shop is tacky. That said the artist was pretty cool otherwise. He had a few tattoos on the edges of his face and freshly painted nails, bright ruby in color. I figure if this grown man is chill enough to do that, he's not going to get bent out of shape about our tattoo idea. Seems pretty non judgemental. The wall art is nice as was the chance to watch ninja warrior on the tv while getting the tattoo done. That really shows consideration, not to mention something to talk about other than just getting a tattoo that day. Also, there is apparently an $80 minimum on tattoos, which seems pretty steep for 12 minutes of work for a single half stripe on a knuckle. When I get the tattoo touched up, I will be looking for other shops and negotiating a price before the work is done.

Jessica Brown

Randy and Su are amazing. Came in tonight to get a tattoo. Very short wait and the tattoo was very clean. This is my second time getting a tattoo here and definitely will be back.

Kristi Fischer

I've grown up in the area and always was not told to go to Ace. People said it was "dirty" and things like that. Well everyone that I knew that had actually been there for tattoos, had no complaints. I went just to look into getting a tattoo a couple years ago. I knew what I wanted, a memorial tattoo for my mom, I just wanted to shop around a little bit. Well, they got me in that day, gave me an amazing deal, and did an AMAZING job. I plan to go back next month for my brothers memorial tattoo!

Margo Rutland

I had the best experience here. The cover up was amazing. I cannot wait to come back for more. Highly recommend!

I have been going here for years for services including jewelry changes, piercings, and one tattoo so far. Excellent customer service. Friendly. Easy to make appointments. Knowledgable about after care and products to avoid. I highly recommend Ace Tattoo and Piercing and will come here for all my tattoo and piercing needs in Minnesota. I love knowing it’s the oldest parlor in the state.

Rediet A

Got both sides of my nostrils re-pierced, and a jewelry change for my rook. From the reception at the front desk to the piercing process, everything was a 10/10, their prices are also VERY fair. I was given two deals, and anywhere else this would have cost a fortune. Definitely will come back for other Piercings.

tabitha marie

Randy has done all 6 of my tattoos and he never disappoints! i refer him to all my friends! he is super details and is just an awesome guy to talk to while he is doing your tattoo!

Nola Howitz

I took my daughter here to get her nose pierced and Randy was wonderful. We found this place by a quick Google search when every shop in Minneapolis was booked. They got us in that same day and treated us so well. My daughter got to ring the gong of courage which made the experience that much better.

Stevi Rose

My daughter made appointments for her and I to get piercings this past Sunday. This shop was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. Booking an appointment was an easy and brief phone call. We were pleasantly surprised, as this was a total experience. The shop owner was friendly, funny, and just made us feel at home. Everything was explained to us thoroughly and instructions were sent home with us as well. Neither me nor my daughter felt any pain, soreness, or swelling after. I will never go anywhere else for a piercing again and I am looking forward to setting up a future tattoo consultation. I could not imagine a single human being having a bad experience here. I enthusiastically recommend.
