Minneapolis' Top-Rated Custom Tattoo Shop
Realism, fine line & black and grey — by appointment in the North Loop
Why Studio AZ Is Minneapolis' Top-Rated Tattoo Shop
You want a tattoo shop that doesn't feel like you just walked into the back room of a biker bar? Artists who won't judge you for asking if it's gonna hurt? You're in the right place.
Studio AZ Tattoo is a custom tattoo studio in the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis—inside the Union Plaza Building, where our barbershop keeps the upstairs buzzing with 10 barbers and their clients.
100% Custom
Every design created from scratch in a one-on-one consultation. No flash, no templates.
Spanish-First Artists
Joan and Andrew are Spanish-first artists from Latin America. For English consultations, we pair you with a coordinator or translator — video, message, or in-person. The art needs no translation.
Appointment Only
No walk-ins, no surprises. Your artist works with you via text or in person until the design is exactly right.
North Loop Location
Founded in 2025 inside our established barbershop. Built for people who care about the art and the experience.
Whether it's your first tattoo or your fiftieth, you'll know exactly what you're getting into. If you're searching for a custom tattoo shop in Minneapolis that locals actually trust, this is the one.

What Our Clients Say
Loved the whole experience. Joan listened to exactly what I wanted and the final piece was better than what I had in my head. Super clean studio, great vibes. Already planning my next one.
First tattoo and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Andrew made me feel completely at ease, explained every step, and the result is incredible. Hands down the best Minneapolis tattoo parlor I've been to.
How It Works
From Idea to Ink in 4 Steps
No walk-ins, no surprises. At our Minneapolis tattoo shop, artists follow a clear process. Our consultation process ensures every tattoo is exactly what you envisioned. Check our frequently asked questions for more details.
Submit Your Idea
Fill out our booking form with your concept, placement, and size. Reference images are always welcome — they help your artist understand your aesthetic even if the final design is completely different.
Secure Your Spot
Our front desk confirms details and collects a refundable deposit ($50 for small pieces, $100 for medium-large). This reserves your artist's time and kicks off the design process.
Consultation
Meet your artist in person or via text to finalize the design. They'll create a custom concept for your approval — and you can request revisions until it's exactly right. No one picks up the machine until you're 100% happy.
Tattoo Day
Come in, review the final stencil on your skin, and get tattooed in our clean, calm North Loop studio. After the session, your artist walks you through aftercare so your new piece heals perfectly.
The Studio
Our North Loop Minneapolis Studio
Located in the North Loop — Minneapolis' most creative neighborhood — near Target Field and the best restaurants downtown. Unlike any other Minneapolis tattoo parlor, our space is calm, clean, and designed for your comfort.
