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 — so you know exactly what you're paying before we start.

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

Perfecting Your Tattoo

Touch-Ups

We stand behind our work. About 40 days after your session, your artist will assess how your tattoo has healed and how your skin retained the ink. If a touch-up is needed, it's typically free of charge — as long as you've followed the aftercare instructions we provide.

What's Included

·Assessment at 40 days post-tattoo
·Free touch-ups when aftercare is followed properly
·Artist determines if touch-up is necessary
·Quick session to perfect any areas that need it

Pricing

Follow your aftercare instructions carefully — it's the best way to ensure a perfect heal.
