Hello friends!

Spring has FINALLY showed up in Minnesota and now is the perfect time to get that piercing that you have been thinking of for summer. Healing times vary, but if you want that shiny, lovely new nostril, navel or microdermal to be ready for all your summer fun in the water and sun we need to see you! We have a HUGE selection of new navel pieces, white/yellow gold and genuine gems to help catch some attention.

We’re here everyday and walk-ins are always welcome!

Dear Friends,

It’s tax season, right?  Aren’t we all patiently awaiting the Government to quietly drop large sums of money into our bank accounts overnight like a Big Brother Tooth Fairy…or Santa filling our stockings with cash rather than socks?  Well here at The Holy Mackerel we’d like to help you fulfill all of your New Year wishes fueled by tax return cash and make last years dreams come true.  Does “‘I’m going to be getting that new piercing….buying that fancy jewelry….AND finishing that sleeve when I finally have the cash” sound familiar to you?!  Moral of the story friends….now is the PERFECT time to get that piercing or new tattoo you’ve put off for far too long.  Summer is still a bit away which gives you time to heal all this new lovely work you’re investing in!

Come in, lets talk all things piercing & tattoos and get you on the right track to looking shiny and lovely for summer!

All our love,
The Holy Mackerel

Hello Friends!  We’re checking in with a few pieces of very exciting news…first and foremost we have expanded The Holy Mackerel!  After months of slaving away the expansion is finally complete and we are happy to announce that we have two new artists joining our ranks.  Both Travis Lee and Steven Skorjanec come to The Holy Mackerel with strong and diverse tattooing experience.  We are excited to have them onboard and hope you will take a moment to read their bios and drool over their work.  Last but not least, we want you to come in and meet the full crew!  Watch for an exciting Studio Event we will be hosting for all of our well loved and appreciated clients in March…we will be doing on the spot tattoo consultations, prizes, gift certificates and tons more. Wow…that was a lot to get off of our chest!

We hope to see you soon!

Hello Hello Mackerel Friends!

We were just discussing today how these dreary winter months are a perfect time to get all of that shiny & lovely piercing work done you’ve been thinking about. No pesky pools, lakes, rivers or tanning beds to worry about getting in the way of healing and all winter long to be ready to show off as soon as the sun hits. We just received a GIGANTIC order of lovely microdermal tops as well as some beautiful navel pieces. Remember we carry nothing but the best and have a huge selection of precious and semi precious stones, white, yellow and rose gold as well to choose from. We have a large selection at all different price ranges so swing on in….take a look….all we ask is that you don’t drool all over the goods!

See you soon!

Hello Mackerels!

We’d like to officially announce and welcome our newest tattoo artist, David Ekstrom to the team! We are excited to have him and his many talents on-board! Please check out his portfolio on our website or come in, be nosy and take a peek in person!

And as long as we are talking tattoos…now is an EXCELLENT time to start those pieces you’ve been thinking about getting all summer long. Fall and winter are great for starting or finishing pieces as they heal ooh so well over these sunless months! Remember we are offering walk-ins 5 days a week or you can make an appointment anytime with all 5 of our amazing artists.

Swing in and check them out!

Hello Little Mackerels!

We just wanted to let you know about the walk-in tattoo opportunities here at the studio. Currently 4 days a week we do tattooing on a walk-in basis and each artist has a walk-in day. These days are perfect for tattoos that will be under 2 hours from start to finish. Walk-in days allow you to get in with your favorite artist much more quickly and also help you ‘scratch’ that ‘itch’ when you’re just looking for something a little more spontaneous. All walk-in days start after 3:00pm and are on a first-come, first-served basis. We hope to see you soon!

  • Jake: Monday
  • Jerred: Tuesday
  • Jeff: Wednesday
  • Bambi: Friday
