Randy pierced my eyebrows and let me tell you -I had a lot of fun. They do prefer appointments but I was able to get in quickly. A single set of jewelry is provided in the cost of the piercing. Randy was so much fun! He made me feel very comfortable: it was like I was getting pierced by a family member. Dad jokes are included in the experience! If I could give a sixth star, I would. I hope to visit again!

I went to Randy and Sue for my first tattoo. The consultation went well, and when I showed them an image of what I wanted, Sue was quickly able to draw up an appropriately sized similar image so that I could see what it would look like. They explained the process in full and I thought the pricing seemed fair.The day I got the tattoo, Randy was kind and professional, talking me through the process. The environment was clean and comfortable. I was in the chair for about 2 hours, a bit longer than expected, but Ive been very happy with the results. Heres an image from the day I got the tattoo and an image from six months later.

Randy and Sue are a riot. Very welcoming! I felt like I was being taken care of by a family member. Jewelery was included in the cost which was also incredibly reasonable. I will hands down drive the hour and 16 minutes to have Randy add another piercing to my collection.Thanks guys!

My nose piercing with Randy was an entire experience! His kindness and fun humor helped to put me at ease. His pricing is fair and he has a large selection of jewelry to choose from! Stick around until the end of your experience and you may be in for a cool surprise! I will definitely be a returning customer.

Sue and Randy were lovely to work with. We went as a family of 4 to get our 5 year old her ears pierced. Randy was very patient with her while we waited for her to calm down and hold still and once she had, he was fast and efficient! She only cried before the needle went in and no tears during the actual procedure. Our daughter is so happy with her new earrings and look, she cant wait to show them off to anyone that will look her way! Thank you, Randy and Sue!!

I went to get a daith piercing done for my migraines. It started with Sue taking out a tray filled with hoops of all different sizes and metals and having me pick whatever pleased me. The experience was fine, Randy and Sue were very kind, BUT after a couple days of having the daith it has became infected. After getting prescribed antibiotics to treat the infection, I visited another piercer in town to get the hoop out. They were speechless when I went in. They explained to me how everything was WRONG WRONG WRONG. The placement of the piercing was off for my ear and the size of the hoop was much too small. My ear was rejecting the hoop and literally pushing it out of my ear. After a very painful removal of the hoop, they showed me differences in the size of hoops they use compared to Randy. My jaw dropped! The comparison is seriously concerning. I wasted $90 on the stupid thing(also Randy is overpriced), I now have hospital bills, and a really messed up ear.Then when I called Randy to explain the situation, all they said was sorry and that they don’t know how it could have happened.My hoop from Randy is in the bag. The other two piercings are the sizes the other piercers use for a daith.Also, the piercing place I went to get it out asked if they could use the picture of my ear as an example of what a bad piercing looks like.Never go here.

I got my first tattoo here after being there to experience my friends getting their tattoos a few weeks prior. Dont regret it! He was friendly, funny, and got it done in no time. It was a little painful, but I dont regret it! Love it! Thanks Randy!

My best friend and I went here the other day to get some piercings (I got a helix and she got her doubles and triples done). We were immediately welcomed in with open arms as Sue showed us the most diverse amount of options Ive ever seen possible for piercings!! After my friend and I had picked our jewelry out we got to meet Randy who is such a friendly and genuinely welcoming guy! He made us feel warm, welcome, and safe as he pierced us and ensured that everything was properly sanitized and that we were all feeling ok before and after the piercings. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone considering a piercing, they take walk ins as well as appointments and you even get a sweet little treat at the end 🙂 THANK YOU RANDY AND SUE FOR ALL THAT YOU DO and giving me my new favorite place to get my piercings done!!

Prices were fair! The lady at the front desk was incredibly nice and welcoming and made the initial experience fantastic. The tattoo artist was very experienced and did my palm size tattoo incredibly well. He made lots of jokes and made us laugh the whole time. The shop was super unique and cleanliness was very well! Overall, the tattoo experience was five stars all day long!

We called ahead about making a same-day appointment for a daith piercing and were able to get one in 45 minutes. Randy was my piercer and was friendly and good at making jokes to distract me from being nervous. He made sure I was ready and worked quickly and efficiently. When I was done he let me whack the gong as a fun celebration!

Always a good experience! I came here for my first 4 tattoos and a piercing over 25 years ago and brought my daughter in today to get her nose pierced. Sue was so nice to work with and Randy is always funny and makes you feel at ease. Now she is planning her first tattoo by him🥰

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. Also, Randy literally made pliers for us ladies with long nails to get our card out of the ATM!!! So considerate.

I recently had my second tattoo done by Randy and everything was fantastic as usual. He also did my very first one, which was a custom design that Su helped me turn into a transfer for Randy. Years later I still hear lots of compliments on that first one and now the design is surrounded by a USA flag as I always wanted. A perfect tribute for Memorial Day weekend. If you are considering a first tattoo or adding to yours, Su is terrific and Randys skill is something to see. Thanks again to you both.

I brought my daughter here to fix her double piercings that had both formed keloids (from a well known piercing store at the mall) and could no longer get earrings through. Randy and Sue explained the needle piercing process and how this was different than the gun piercing she originally had. They made my daughter feel so comfortable and relaxed and had a good sense of humor, making her smile (and ringing the gong when done!). The piercings look great and she couldn’t believe how easy and quick it was! Very happy!

Review №22

First off I wish I could post some pictures from the day of and now 2 weeks later.Randy is a really nice guy and sue is wonderful, however it might be the worst tattooing I have ever been apart of.It now has been 14 days since randy tattooed 2 small wu-tangs on my left forearm. Both are obviously way to deep. I experienced alot off bleeding from both tattoos during and immediately after. And now 2 weeks later there is still slight scabbing, flaking skin, and some noticable scaring.As much of a good guy randy is, he has lost the necessary technique and ability to perform tattooing to a standard for even the simplest art. (My opinion)Whatever the case I do not recommend this place.

Everyone in this shop is amazing to work with. I personally love the work of the owner Chuck who did my piece that you can see as part of this review. The environment of the shop is very welcoming and they are so easy and fun to work with. I refuse to let anyone tattoo me but Ace and I fly from Wisconsin to Arizona just to get tattoos by them. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting a tattoo whether it’s your first time or not.

Review №32

We went just looking to buy jewelry, 2 16g studs. We call to be let in, and the owner locks the door behind us and tells us 16g studs are $30 a piece (and gets awfully comfortable with my friend). I hand him $70 expecting there to be tax to break change, and he happily pockets it and tells us to have a nice day. I ask about change and he informs me he understood it to be a tip. I remember the door locked behind us and feel inclined to go along with it so we can get let out! Definitely not a very transparent interaction for a couple of cheap studs.

I LOVE RANDY! He is the best tattoo artist I’ve ever been to. He makes the whole experience so positive and happy. I’ve gotten most of my tattoos (all of my favorites) from him and they all look amazing even months after the healing process. He’s so kind and makes it a very enjoyable experience and I will never go to anyone else! 😂 the photo I added is one of my personal favorites!

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.

I brought my 17-year-old daughter to get her ears re-pierced as we went to a mall piercing jewelry store when she was younger and both her ears were infected so we had to let them heal.Fast-forward to many years later we knew we needed to do it a different way.I brought her in to see Randy at Ace Tattoo & Piercing and not only did we have the best experience, but he did an amazing job and we couldn’t be more excited for the outcome! Randy and Sue are both amazing people, and I would highly recommend them!

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!! Theyve been in business in the same location for over 40 years!! I will DEFINITELY be going there for my first tattoo!!

I recently took my daughter to Ace Tattoo and Piercing for her first nose piercing, and our experience was absolutely wonderful! Right from the moment we entered, the welcoming and friendly atmosphere of the studio set a positive tone for our visit.The cleanliness and hygiene of the studio were impeccable, which was very reassuring to me as a parent. It was clear that the staff prioritizes safety and cleanliness, with every tool being meticulously sterilized and health protocols strictly followed.The staffs kindness and professionalism were remarkable. The gentlemen who handled our piercing session were exceptionally skilled and also very patient and understanding. They took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and aftercare to both me and my daughter, ensuring we were comfortable and well-informed. Their gentle and reassuring approach greatly eased my daughters nerves, making the experience smooth and less daunting for her.We were also impressed with the variety of jewelry options available. The staff was very helpful in guiding us to choose the perfect piece that suited my daughters style and preference.Overall, our visit to Ace Tattoo and Piercing was an outstanding experience. The combination of a friendly, professional team, a commitment to hygiene, and a warm environment made it the perfect place for my daughters first piercing. I highly recommend this studio for parents looking for a safe and positive piercing experience for their children. They truly make the extra effort to ensure their clients are comfortable and happy!

Randy and his partner were fantastic! I was really nervous about getting my nose pierced and they put me at ease and were very friendly. The store was really clean and all instruments came from sealed packets (after being sterilized). They notice I have a small shelf and we’re able to adjust my jewelry accordingly. And, due to low pressure, when I got light headed and nauseous Randy immediately recognized what was happening, knew what to do, and I felt better quickly. Plus, I got to ring the gong of courage after and who doesn’t want to do that?!?!!! I highly recommend Ace Tattoo and Piercing. My nose piercing experience was great!

Ace is the place! I love this place. Sue was great with helping add some color elements to my design and after talking to her in the phone/texting design ideas, I was already happy with choosing to go there. We talked through the design a bit more when I got there and Randy was wrangled in to give his blessing and input. He got right to it, and we watched the Mummy, talked about Harrison Ford and Barbers and German engineering lol we covered a lot of ground. Randy is awesome! I had a blast. They felt like two family members and we were all just hanging out tattooing and such. I would absolutely recommend Ace Tattoo. Plus, at the end of your tattoo you get to bang a GONG…what?! Just awesome man. I love it and I’ll definitely go back again. Thanks Sue and Randy, you rock.

Review №63

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. Ive practiced it for over 10 years. Its 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. Im 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 its almost completely healed. Make sure to do what Randy tells you on aftercare and youll be happy. Ace Tattoo is my first choice when getting a tattoo! :-) Ready to re-ink the first one!

I called around 3 pm and asked if walk-ins are available. The shop owner, Randy was able to take my boyfriend to get his septum pierced at 8 pm. Even though online it states his shop closes at 6 on Sundays he still took us in and did a wonderful job being both welcoming and encouraging. After my boyfriend got his piercing done he asked if I wanted to get one as well! I got a nostril piercing and while I already had one on the other side of my nostril I am amazed at how much smoother the process went compared to my other piercing. Last time I got my nostril pierced (by a different piercer) my whole face stung and felt hot for days but this time I didn’t feel it by the time I left the shop! Having his customers ring the gong is such a fun touch. Awesome shop and we’ll definitely come back if even just for jewelry :)

My father passed away in April. I wanted to memorialize and honor my father who is/was a United States Marine. I contacted a couple of tattoo shops, that were recommended to me, but they never called me back. I found Ace through a Google search. I read the reviews, which were highly rated. I walked in, met Randy. They took me right away. I showed them what I wanted. They took that design, made it there away and with the ideas I wanted. It came out awesome. This is my first tattoo and I could not be happier with their service, design, and their overall atmosphere. I HIGHLY recommend Ace.

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 wasnt going to work for my nose. Randy said it was crooked and I wasnt 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.

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!

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.

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.

Review №98

The lady is super nice, but the guy is kind of dodgy. After I got my piercings done, I asked about sizing up the bars for swelling, to which the piercer only responded with ice and nothing more. Outdated aftercare advice was given, and the jewelry I was pierced with was not only the wrong gague but entirely too small. I have multiple piercings and a meticulous aftercare routine which I know works for me. Even after getting the bars swapped out for a longer size, I needed to remove them three days later due to one beginning to embed in my cheek. This would have been easily preventable had he pierced them correctly the first time around. You are also expected to pay IN CASH before the service here, which is a telltale sign of a dodgy piercing shop, as you cannot see the quality of the service before payment. I also had to do the placement for my piercings on my own, which is extremely unprofessional. Thank goodness I had my friends with me to help make them even.I only waited so long to update my review because after reading the negative reviews for this shop, I realized how fruitless it would be because of how aggressive and dismissive the owners are in the responses. However, my hope is that by leaving this review now that they will miss it, and I can save another poor unfortunate soul some $200 for piercings you will ultimately have to remove.I miss my dahlias dearly and will be getting them redone at a reputable piercer with an extensive portfolio. Good riddance

I got my belly pierced here and it was done improperly he pierced my stomach not my navel the piercing pushed its self out and I now have a big scar very unhappy I would not recommend!!!Well I disagree because I still wanted it pierced so I went to a different piercing shop and they did it properly and it is almost fully healed and I just didn’t like the fact that I was basically standing up while getting it done. Im just giving an honest review so hopefully it doesn’t happen to someone else!

Review №111

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 didnt 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 didnt do best was inform me on how to clean my tongue piercing. I was told to just leave it alone and that you didnt 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 dont blame Randy for this though because its 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 didnt 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.

FAKE METAL JEWELRY!!!went here a couple months ago for a piercing. After a month of having the piercing the piercing wasnt healing properly so I went to a different shop for them to look at my piercing. the problem turned out to be the FAKE JEWELRY! they kindly changed it out for me and it has healed just fine after changing it.The guy here also likes to make inappropriate comments about womens bodies. It was supper uncomfortable.It was also very dusty and not as clean as a tattoo shop should be.

Review №129

I came here today to get 2 piercings for my 18th birthday, a septum piercing and a vertical labret piercing.(HE GAVE ME THE WRONG PIERCING BTW 😭) My experience here was overall a positive experience, Randy is a very kind soul and so is his wife, the studio is beautiful and very welcoming, but the way Randy did the piercings was not very professional in my own opinion. I’m gonna list some of the things I experienced while getting pierced at Ace Tattoo & Piercing.-Gave me the wrong piercing (gave me ashley, i asked for vertical labret)-Left me unattended with a needle in my lip for about 6 or 7 minutes-Didn’t screw the ball to my septum on tight enough so it fell off right when i had gotten back home-Gave outdated aftercare instructionsWhen i got to the studio Randy gave me a sheet to fill out, i put on the sheet that i was getting my septum and vertical labret piercings done. I gave the paper to randy and the process began. He does my septum piercing and it goes smoothly, the ball does end up falling off when i get home so he didn’t screw it on tight enough. He gets to my lip and he pierces it and then says he needs new jewlery so he leaves me with a needle in my lip for a good 7 minutes probably. I attached pictures to this post. during this time i look in the mirror and it’s not what i thought i was getting. i was expecting a vertical labret and that was not what i got. He gave me an Ashley piercing. I didn’t say anything to him because it was already pierced and i wasn’t about to go through that again. He comes back and puts the lip piercing in and then he gives me after care instructions- he told me to use q tips to clean my piercings (NEVER USE Q TIPS ON ANY PIERCING EVER) and told me to only clean it when it’s visibly dirty. ps you should clean your piercings every day with saline salt mixed in water until it’s healed. He let me go and told me to write a review! so that’s what i’m doing. As soon as i get home the piercing spike on my septum falls off so i have to drive all the way back 15 minutes just to get a new spike screwed on tight enough. When i got back to the studio Randy’s wife grabbed me a new piercing with just her hands. She put it in a bowl for randy and when he put it in i realized he never sanitized it. I wouldn’t go here again to get pierced.

Review №130

Terrible business. my friend got her septum ring done there by guy named Randy. he told her to pick the jewelry even though she had no idea what she was doing. He gave her piercing way too small for her nose and her nose, lips, and inside of her nose completely swelled up to the point where it was very infected. She took proper care of it, but Randy gave her piercing too small. when she asked for her money back he basically told her that they won’t give her a refund. She ended up going to another piercing place and they’ve heard a lot of other horror stories as well from this business. I’ll never be going here, and on top of that she called them over 25 times before someone picked up the phone.EDIT: taking them 3 years to respond should tell you how motivated they are to striving their business. Her nose to this day is unable to comply with a septum piercing because of the damage he did to the inside of her nose.

Review №137

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!

I truly never liked anybody elses work, and found a priceless gem in Randy and his craft. He really knows what hes doing, hes easy going, and Ill 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, thats how much I love it!

Both of our tattoos also bled WAY more after completion than any tattoos we have ever had done. Tattoo lines were not 100% and shapes that should have been were not 100% filled in.

Let’s start by saying that Randy is super kind, funny, and accommodating. Both of my piercings were done at a great angle. However, his policy of the customer choosing the jewelry is not necessarily all great. The jewelry is beautiful and good quality, so that isn’t the issue. The issue is that he lets you have completely free range. For most cartilage/lobe/nostril piercings, the selection is good. Internally threaded, surgical grade titanium. However, with piercings like a rook or daith issues arise. A curved barbell is industry standard, but a short straight post was used in my rook. This extends the healing and swelling time, as the swollen parts would rub against the post. When I asked, he simply said it was the jewelry I chose. He also walked away right before piercing my friend and I, hiking up our body’s natural anxiety. We also bled quite a bit. My regular piercer seemed concerned, and when I mentioned where we went her face said it all. Overall, it was a fine experience, but there are definitely lanes for improvement.

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.

Step daughter got a piercing but was given the wrong jewelry so she needed to have it redone with longer bars and bigger heads to prevent it from healing over the metal or something like that. The bars were too short for a fresh piercing so when her lips swelled up overnight she needed them replaced and there was some other issue so she needed them repierced as well. Said the owner was super nice so 2 stars instead of 1.

Randy help me plan my daughters 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 daughters birthday and was really flexible and being able to finish all of our tattoos that same weekend. We love Randy!

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.

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.
