Services & Pricing

Custom Tattoo Services in Minneapolis

Every tattoo at Studio AZ is a one-of-a-kind piece created specifically for you. As a tattoo shop Minneapolis clients trust for custom work, we charge by the project — not by the hour. Your artist confirms the price once they've seen your idea, placement, and size.

Our Minneapolis tattoo artists specialize in realism, fine line, and black & grey tattoo work. Joan and Andrew speak Spanish as their first language, while Kaelani and Meg work in English — consultations are fully supported in both languages. Studio AZ is licensed by the Minnesota Department of Health.

Transform Old Ink

Cover-Up Tattoos

Got a tattoo you've outgrown? Our custom tattoo artists in Minneapolis specialize in creative cover-up solutions that transform old ink into something you'll love. Cover-ups require more planning than a fresh tattoo — the existing design, ink saturation, and placement all factor into the new design. That's why every cover-up starts with a consultation.

What's Included

·Assessment of existing tattoo during consultation
·Custom design that works with (not against) the old ink
·May require multiple sessions depending on complexity
·Realistic expectations discussed upfront

Cover-up pricing depends on the size and darkness of the existing tattoo. Send clear photos and your artist will quote it after the consultation.

Perfecting Your Tattoo

Touch-Ups

We stand behind our work. Tattoos need a minimum of 40 days to settle before anyone can judge the heal. After that, your artist will review how your skin retained the ink and determine whether a touch-up is needed — they're the ones who can tell the difference between normal healing and something worth revisiting.

What's Included

·Wait a minimum of 40 days before inquiring
·Your artist determines whether a touch-up is needed
·Aftercare has a direct effect on how the ink settles
·Quick session to perfect any areas that need it
