Stillwater Tattoo

I saw Jessie today for a touch up on two old tattoos I had done elsewhere and a new tattoo of my grandmas handwriting. I fully recommend this place! My touch ups look incredible and she went above and beyond to fix what needed fixing, including adding shading to cover up some ugly scaring! My new tattoo is beautiful and she was able to replicate the handwriting perfectly. She has such gentle hands it barely hurt to get any work done. This is the best experience I’ve had getting a tattoo and I will be returning!

My daughter and I did a walk in, and Jesse was able to accommodate her. This is my daughters first tattoo and I feel like we hit the jackpot with one of the best I’ve met. She was so good with her and did an amazing job on her little bubble bee. Highly recommend this place. Also very spacious and clean.

If you’re looking for the most amazing tattoo artist and human you need to go visit Jessie at Stillwater tattoo! She has gone above and beyond on all now 7 of the tattoos I’ve had her do in the last year since I was lucky enough to find her. Her heart and talent are unmatched by any artist I’ve ever worked with and I will never see anyone else! She’s far more than just my tattoo artist she is one of my favorite human beings that I get to call friend and getting to see her makes my heart and soul happy….who needs a therapist when you have a Jessie ❤️

Went in for a finger tattoo on my birthday. Wanted a quick one for a walk-in. The tattoo shouldn’t have taken too long but also it should not have been as rushed as it was. The straight line on my design is not straight at all, and the line work is sloppy. The orientation is crooked. I understand the tattoo will stretch with my finger, but it is not straight with my knuckle. Felt guilted for having the stencil replaced more than twice. I have never had a tattoo this bad. For somewhere that can’t be hidden, you would think the artist would try more to make it look good… I am an art teacher and was told by the tattoo artist that “art teachers are the worst people to tattoo”. Why? Because we can tell when something is done poorly and sloppy? Any person can tell when a line isn’t straight. One of the petals isn’t even closed! Never doing a walk-in again if it going to be rushed. It still isn’t healed, but I’m not hopeful by the way it looks now.

I did a walk-in today with a friend. I wanted to get a short saying on my hand but couldn’t decide the font. I know I should have come more prepared with what I wanted exactly but Chris made me feel really bad about it. He would drop rude side comments saying “I love indecisive people, not really” or “There’s people waiting who actually know what they want…” or “most people come in knowing what they want” The indecisive one was meant to be a joke cause he laughed but after a handful of side comments that made me feel uncomfortable it wasn’t worth trying to work with him. It made the experience unpleasant. Also apparently you can’t ask a friends’ opinion either, without him saying coldly, that it doesn’t matter what they think it’s your tattoo. Which can be true to an extent but if I didn’t want a second opinion I would have came alone. At the end of the day, he didn’t give us good customer service, I felt guilty like I was doing something wrong and just felt really bad at the end. Two stars because it was our second time there and he did ok with my friends’ tattoos previously but still had side comments that just seemed rude which is why we decided to say something this time. I’m glad he didn’t get my $$$.

I was referred to and saw Jessie last week. Despite a power outage, she had a very positive attitude! She was very personable. Love that she keeps her pupper with her too! 10 outta 10 would recommend. The place was very tidy and clean. Deff getting my next one from her!We had a good few laughs while just talking about people and life.

Stillwater Tattoo is all around a great shop with very talented artists. I have been seeing Scot for about 13 years now along with my wife. We will continue to go back for the great experience, cool atmosphere and quality art work. Ill be back soon!

Great place! Fantastic artists and people. My girlfriend and me got walk in tattoos. Got to get their early because they fill up quick! We were there 3, give or take, hours and at least 6 other people tried to walk in as well. Solid work, steady hands, and great technique. And just awesome people to boot. Good prices as well. $160 for mine. Very much worth it! Planning on going back as soon as I can!

I had Jessie and she was awesome. Helped me figure out where to place a hairdressing shear. Im very pleased.

I am thrilled to say I now have FIVE tattoos from Jessie Sands and every single one of them I love. She is fierce! I love that Jessie listens to what I want and then brings her own vision to it, making it better than it could ever be. I seriously never want to go to another tattoo studio or artist. She is my forever artist. Jessie also did a cover up for me to rid me of a broken heart and you can see the image here, the vine is the cover up. She worked with my existing tattoos to make the cover up even more badass and truly banish past mistakes. GO HERE!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT.

I came here for my first tattoo, and it was truly a great experience. Jesse did an amazing job. I am pretty picky, but the tattoo was perfectly executed and was exactly what I wanted. She was very kind and I loved the place.

Jessie did an amazing job with my tattoo of my mothers handwriting. So good, in fact, that the other tattoo next to it pales by comparison so she did a coverup on that one and it looks AMAZING. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Here’s a pic of before and after.

Just brought my son to see Scot for his 18th birthday present to pay tribute to his beloved Grandma Missy! Couldnt have had a better experience for his first tattoo, Scot made him feel comfortable and made it a great time for both of us. Thank you Scot and we will be back and recommend you to others!!

Had a top to bottom exceptional experience at Stillwater Tattoo yesterday! My friend and I were thrilled they took our walk-in requests, and the staff was so personable and efficient. Jessie did our tattoos, and was an exemplary artist and professional. She is also clearly a very sweet person with a big heart - we felt very safe in her hands ❤️

Personally, I love coming here. The environment is so amazing, as well as the tattoo artists! I’ve gotten three tattoos done by Jessie so far, another one coming soon. Jessie does an phenomenal job!! When I first walked it, I fell in love with the shop. They were so nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend coming here!! You will not be disappointed!!! ❤️

Jesse did an awesome job with my tattoo she is friendly and helpful she takes her time and she will take good care of you

Jessie has done all of my tattoos & each time she does an absolutely outstanding job. Always a 10/10 experience here!!! Scot & Jessie are extremely professional & passionate about what they do and it really shows in their work. The shop itself is so cool, there are so many beautiful, fun decorations everywhere you look. It’s truly such a comfortable & clean establishment. I highly recommend checking this place out!!

Jessie and Scot are honestly the best. They are gentle, quick, and create amazing art, no matter what you want. They are friends of ours, so conversations are always great. The shop has a ton of flash available and do walk-ins. I always recommend Stillwater tattoo to all my friends and family, and even coworkers.

Incredible work and service from Jessie. I will absolutely be back to se her again!! Will update with photos soon!

Came in today just to see if it was possible to get a simple tattoo to memorialize my dog i put down last week. Scot came over and asked what I was looking to get done. He was amazing. Did a fantastic job. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

Tattoo was great- Artist was patient with me when I changed my mind on location.Front-Desk gal seemed very unhappy to be there.

Where do I even start? This is the best tattoo shop I have ever been to!! Jessie has done my entire sleeve because I just have to keep coming back! She makes sure your experience is as comfortable as possible & tattoos with a light hand! 2 very talented artists! The atmosphere/energy is amazing! and the prices are extremely fair! I travel over an hour to Stillwater to get my tattoos and its well worth the trip! I dont see myself switching shops any time soon!!

Jessie was awesome. Super pro. The detail and line work is superb. I am happy with my tattoo and plan to come back for more work soon.

I have had many tattoos done by Jessie and I love all of them. I’ve recommended a few friends to her as well and they all love the work she did too. She’s such a talented and creative artist who takes lot of pride in her work and is very passionate about every tattoo she does. Her new shop is such a great reflection of her creativity and hard work. I highly recommend Stillwater Tattoo to everybody!

Brought my wife in for a surprise birthday tattoo. She was very nervous since she only has had one tattoo before. Jessie was simply amazing. Not only did she calm her nerves, she did some awesome tattoos! Would recommend this shop and Jessie to anyone!

Went to go see the World Snow Sculpting, came here instead. Best decision ever! Jessie was my tattoo artist. She was so nice and accommodating. Made the whole thing go by so fast. Love her work and going to visit again very soon.

Scot is my artist would never get work from anyone else. They are priced right great work! Fast! Professional. Work doesn’t fade!

Jess did such an amazing job and her line work is incredible!!

This is a beautiful tattoo shop! There is alot of visual eye candy, interesting and unique art throughout the shop to entertain you while you get work completed. Just a super clean and very inviting and welcoming space! Jessie the owner is amazing and a very talented tattoo artist. She came highly recommended by my daughter who also got a gorgoeus tattoo completed by her. Im pretty picky about my tattoos and Im impressed with the clean lines and art on this new tattoo by Jessie. It is beautiful and I have to say after getting many tattoos this has been my best tattoo experience so far! 💛🌻Thank you!!!

Got my first tattoo here! Jessies work is absolutely amazing and I had such a positive experience. Very comfortable environment and definitely looking forward to getting more work done here!

This place is my second home, both Jessie and Scot are amazing artists and people. You will love whatever you leave with guaranteed 🤍

This shop is great! Walked by and decided to get a new tattoo. Jessie took my idea and added her thoughts and came up with an amazing design that I am unbelievably happy with! Beautiful shop and such friendly staff. I will happily come back again for my next one!

After seven tattoos at five different shops, I can honestly say this was my best experience yet. Scott was extremely easy to work with and the tattoo is incredible. Dont mess around, start your next project here. Power to the people, brother.

Scot is an extraordinary tattoo artist and knows what he is doing, from traditional to abstract hes the go to guy! Jesse and Scot are by far my favorite tattoo artists in MN! Super clean store, attention to detail and a shop with an esthetic that is unmatched. Highly recommend anyone who is looking for any tattoo or piercing, they even do tattoo removal! 5 stars all day! Thank you for all that you do!

Came to Stillwater Tattoo after a bad experience at one of the Anchors End locations where I had gotten my first tattoo… since then my tattoo has been fixed/ touched up and have been coming back here ever since! The artists here are absolutely wonderful, I cannot recommend them enough. I’ve brought my brother and other friends here and they’ve all loved the work that’s been done here not to mention the shop is a work of art, the paintings and swords that have been displayed are so cool to look at. Amazing work! Keep up the great work guys

The shop is amazing, its very clean and the vibe is welcoming. Ive spent a lot of time researching and looking at different artists, and I will say they have my business from here on out. The attention to detail on my new tattoo is incredible. Definitely check them out if you need some new ink!

This place is great! Stopped in and decided to get my tattoo done. Scott did an amazing job. He was profession, talented, and very personable. The shop is kept pristine.

It’s the best experience ever. I got a tattoo at another shop, didnt bother to come back to fix because it was so bad. Came here and got Jessie. She was so helpful and fun to talk to. I highly recommend her, but other people are really nice too. The new shop looks so fresh and clean. Give it a try guys, they also do walk-ins ♥️

Jessie did amazing with my partners and mother in laws tattoo! The shop was very clean and welcoming also absolutely stunning! Highly recommend!

My hubs got his 1st tattoo cherry popped. 😜 Owners are talented, lovely, sassy and blunt in all the right ways. Shop is gorgeous & hygienic. We will be back and bringing friends. Lol! 10/10 recommend. Thanks, Jessie💋

Jessie was amazing to work with. There were seven of us and she made it a wonderful experience! Love my Tree of Gondor!

Love the new shop! Jess and Scot have created a really cool (and clean) space. Jess has done 5 of my tattoos, and I will continue to come back!

Scot Rules! This shop is rad, tons of eye candy on the walls and exceptionally clean. The artists were patient with a spastic walk-in and I only wish I would have had more time to consider a larger memorial piece. Thank you, would love to come back next time in town.

Scott did my tattoo. Was awesome!!! Love it and him ❤️Rip my brother Rico 😇

Scot and Jessie are true artists, but beyond that are wonderful people. If you want an artist level tattoo in Stillwater they are your only option. Highly recommend

Did a walk in and rushed the tattoo and was sloppy. Will not come back

My parents went here on New Year’s Day and waited to get their tattoos. Ended up leaving with nothing because the guy who was going to tattoo them was incredibly rude, mean and angry.Maybe other artist here are nicer but not willing to risk it after this experience

Stillwater Tattoo has an enjoyable and clean environment (outstanding renovation!!) and fantastic service. We had great conversations and the tat my husband got was 💯. All around excellent experience.

I Scott did my tattoo and it was an amazing experience. He was super professional and I was very impressed with the outcome! I will definitely go back for my next.

Very impressed! Badass shop with really cool artists. Walk-in process was very smooth. Artists were personable and professional. Definitely will be back when I’m in the area!

Scot was great! His work is beautiful! Going back for more, soon!

I had Scot do my walk in and he was wonderful! Very nice and funny and good about making sure I was okay. The place is very nice and clean. Definitely will come back
