Leviticus

I am only a visitor to Minnesota, so was only able to pick a shop by online research. I narrowed it down to Leviticus.
The short review… I can say I absolutely made the right choice picking Leviticus. No attitudes, nice folk, price was inline with what I was expecting, super clean shop, awesome décor, and great customer service.
The long review… I walked-​in and had my concept reviewed by Ella at the front desk, she is really nice. She listed to my schedule problems and that I have limited availability. She helped me pick an artist based on my schedule, I went with Opie. And I only had to wait a couple weeks for my appointment. Really it could have been within a week, but I was traveling.
I provided several versions of my art within a week of my appointment. I was worried that my changing ideas would cause a problem, but they said not a problem at all.
Finally, I arrived for my appointment. I was pretty late to my appointment actually, but nobody had a problem with it and they didn’t worry about it at all. I met Opie, he was cool a friendly. He showed me a concept he worked on based on my ideas and it was perfect.
Opie was beyond great actually because I was worried that my artwork was not his style and that he might try to steer me another way, which I have had other artists try to do… But he was really supportive about giving me what I want and making certain I was happy with it.
Anyway, he got setup, did the deed, and all along the way he checked to make sure I was good. He told me little bits about what he was doing and how it would look, and he was great at talking, not too little and not too much… It was perfect.
Also, while Opie was doing his work, I was checking out the other artists in the room, how they interacted with customers, and the work they were doing. It was pretty clear that everybody was nice, customer friendly, doing quality work, and a number of them came by to check out the work being done on me and were really complimentary and supportive. I didn’t need any of that, but I loved that it was liked that.
Also, being late I failed to eat before I showed-​up, and that didn’t go well. I got a bit woozy just as the work was being finished. It wasn’t horrible, but as soon as I mentioned it Opie and the staff jumped on it and helped me get seated, got me water, a honey stick, and made sure I was good. They were totally on top of it and were so cool about it to which I am grateful.
When I got the bill it was totally in the range that was quoted to me, so there were no surprises. Totally happy with the pricing.
Anyway, in the end, it was a great experience from end-​to-​end. You can’t go wrong with Leviticus, and even though I just took off the bandage I can say it looks amazing.
Thanks Opie, Ella, and the rest of you at Leviticus.

I came in on a Friday as a walk-​in. The whole facility was extremely nice and clean! I was quickly set up with an artist named Kyle.
He did a fantastic job making me feel comfortable even though it was my first tattoo. Overall, a fantastic experience.

Brent pretty much is the sh** (a good sh** btw) lol
He was very easy to talk to. Very friendly. Really understanding and calmed my nerves. My mom and I got tattoos and he made her feel comfortable too. We had a ton of fun getting inked by him. We both said we more likely won’t be going to anyone else. He owns a place in Michigan so he’s not there all the time. I can’t wait to my next.
Clean shop, nice people and decent prices. Thanks!

This place only has one piercer. That in itself isn’t a problem, especially since the website warns customers to call ahead and make sure that the piercer is available. After doing so, I was told that «anytime» that afternoon would work just fine. When we arrived, we were told that the piercer hadn’t even come in that day; he’d called in sick. Nobody told me that when I specifically asked if he was available, and we wasted 20+ dollars on über fares. Subpar customer service.

I have had to go to their shop several times to have my piercings fixed it’s ridiculous that I spend good money on jewelry only for it to constantly break or magically come unscrewed, never again

I went in, last minute, but with an exact print out of the song lyrics I wanted in a specific font and size for my ribcage. It is 5 small words in a type writer font. The guy who tattooed me was Mike (this was last summer) and he was really super with me. The issue was the front desk woman was kind of rude, and wanted 200 dollars for my pretty simple tattoo. She explained because it was in a different font than some cursive she had showed me from a book that they have, and that they’d have to fill in my letters. Mike didn’t fill in any letters. It was still $ 200, which is WAY too much for what I had done. It wasn’t a bad experience, a little crowded in the tattooing area, but it was overpriced.

Always a great experience here! Amazing tattoo done by Craig tonight. The shop is clean and the koi pond is fantastic!

I got my first tattoo today. I spent a lot of time determining where to go given I would have to live with the art work for the rest of my life. I was looking at artistic skill, safety/​sanitation practices, location and reputation for quality and customer service. Leviticus rose to the top quickly. My actual experience measured up to the companies reputation, and I walked away loving my new tattoo. I’m already working on my second tattoo and can’t wait to go back! The staff was helpful and the artists were friendly, genuine and highly talented/​experienced. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable and relaxing; decorated with a mix of eclectic art work with asian influences.

I have flown from Boston to Minneapolis just for a tattoo from Charlie Forbes. He is the best artist I have ever worked with. I also got my septum pierced there and the whole experience was great. I don’t remember his name, sorry! Leviticus is clean and there is plenty to look at while you wait to get poked. I can’t wait to travel back to the Midwest to get another tattoo.

I had a very nice experience for my first tattoo. Kyle was my artist and he did a fantastic job on my Hamas tattoo on my back. He was very detailed and listened attentively to what I had in mind. Kyle did an awesome job and the tattoo that he gave me exceeded my expectations. It is beautiful and I can’t stop looking at it !! Thank you Kyle!!!

Two words: Charlie Forbes.
Wicked awesome talent. He is the only one I will see for my tattoos. I have given him everything from written descriptions to pages and pages of reference material, and every time he shows me the original art I’ll be lucky enough to wear permanently, it’s better than I imagined it could be. I totally believe he can tattoo anything, any style, all day long. You won’t be disappointed.

Nice, clean, friendly, fast, reasonably priced. Went for a walk in just a few minutes ago and was very pleased with the staff and the whole environment. Artwork all over and awesome pond with koi fish. Not a long wait for being a walk in. My brother and I are both really pleased with the results.

Yo! This place hooked a brutha up literally! If you need a piercing hit this place up. Shop is super clean plus customer service there is 100%. I did a walk in to get my ear lobes pierced and was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Big shout out to Chad for piercing my ears he was super chill and took his time in making sure that the «lining» of the dots on my ears were on point before piercing them.

I’ve been going to Leviticus for a couple years now. I specifically go see Jessi and she is amazing. It’s like all the thoughts in my head come to life in her art it blows my mind! I definitely did my research when I found my new tattoo shop. They have so many awesome artists there and original thought out work. I mean they been voted cities best how many times obviously it’s apparent that there one of the best in the cities for sure! If you want something original and totally bad ass you know where to go I just told you!

Really great experience. Walked in on a Wednesday night expecting to just get a consult about a cover up. They helped me think about my options and came up with a great design. Lucky me, Opie had a cancellation and could fit me. He did a great job, can’t tell it’s a cover up at all. I’ll definitely be back!

Just got my third piece here, and I love everything about the place. Friendly staff, beautiful décor and the quality of my (not small) tattoos has been amazing.
I would go back to Charlie or Opie any day of the week!

Got my first tattoo here from Kyle Malone. He did an amazing job, and put a ton of detail into my tattoo. He asked me tons of questions to get my exactly what I wanted and his friendly demeanor really put me at ease. If you’re looking for an artist who is very detail oriented definitely ask for Kyle. The price was definitely more than I expected, however the quality of my piece was well worth it.

There’s a girl named Bria that works there – she’s AMAZING!

I felt comfortable and free to share my tattoo ideas immediately when I walked into the lobby.
Far too often I’ve been to shops where I was brushed off or treating like a ditzy female because the majority of my flesh hadn’t been punctured by a needle. But not here.
The women at the front desk were extremely helpful and detail orientated when trying to find the perfect artist for my tattoo.
And boy were they spot on. I had the honor of sitting with Charlie for a few hours. Despite the fact my ribs were being tattooed I was laughing the entire time. Based on how sore my side was the next day I wish he wasn’t so funny.
The finished product was amazing. He and the other artists there are truly talented. I now recommend this place to everybody.

Back in January when I turned 36, I decided that I was going to get myself a tattoo for my birthday. I had always wanted one, never gotten one, and figured it was now or never.
So I called Leviticus, based on it’s really good Unilocal rating. It went something like this:
Me: Hey! I want to get a tattoo.
Female Leviticus employee: You’ve called the right place. What’s up?
Me: Well, I kind of know what I want. I’ve got a couple of ideas in mind. Should I just make an appointment now, or come in and talk to you, or what?
FLE: Why don’t you print out your ideas, if you have them, and come in. We can take it from there.
I felt really at ease, which was nice. If you’re a tattoo first timer — or a seasoned veteran — they’re going to treat you the same. Respectfully, in a friendly manner, and patiently. This is merely one reason I am devoted to this shop.
I go in with my printouts. The shop is beautiful — the front has lots of rock and concrete, and there’s a fully functional koi pond in the lobby, complete with a little fountain and lots of plants. Honestly, from the front, it looks more like an art gallery or day spa. This was a good sign.
FLE: Oh wow, you’ve got some really cool stuff there. Let’s talk about what you want.
Me: Okay, so I’m thinking (this design), but maybe adding (this design) to it. Would that be dumb?
FLE: No way. That would be really cool. If it’s what you want, we can do it, but I think this will be really cool.
Me: Great, so do I need to book an appointment?
FLE: Sure — let me show you a couple of our artist’s books that I’d recommend. If you like one more than the other, just let me know and we’ll see when that artist is open.
So I made my appointment.
A couple of weeks later, I went in to meet my artist — Opie Mueller — and get my tattoo. Opie was outstanding. Amazing. I can’t say enough about him. Honestly. He’s not only a great artist, but a really good guy. We had some really fun conversations while he was working on my ink. He was fast, too, which was really nice. My entire tattoo was done in about an hour and a half, and it’s about 8″ tall, about 4″ wide, and multi-​colored. While I was getting it, another artist named Charlie came over to talk while he was waiting for his next appointment. This is a really friendly atmosphere.
And clean. This place is spotless. Honestly, I’ve eaten in restaurants that were less clean than this place. We’re talking hospital clean. Again, something that I really believe most people should want out of a tattoo shop.
When I was done, Opie and I high-​fived and I told him I’d be back for my next one soon. (I will!) He gave me care instructions and wrapped my tattoo, and said to stop back once it had healed so he could take a picture of it for his book.
This was an excellent, excellent, excellent experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any artist at Leviticus. They’re professionals, and really cool, really nice people.
