Just got my double nostril piercing today, great experience. Taryn was super sweet and made me feel absolutely at ease! Definitely will be coming back for more.
I called in to Anchors End to see if I could get my daith pierced. They got me in right away that same day; and were quick and efficient with the paperwork. The staff were very knowledgeable about the piercing and Brittany: body artist who did my daith piercing, was amazing! She explained the whole process to me and what she was going to do. And was a very fair price. Will definitely be going back and 10/10 recommend going here!
Such a great experience. Matt did a wonderful job on my tattoo. The establishment itself was very clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. Matt was great about coming up with a tattoo off of what I described and was extremely comforting during the actual tattoo. Multiple times he told me I could tap out at any time, consistently checked on how I was doing, and stayed very COVID sensitive. Thank you Anchors End!!
This place is the real deal. I wouldnt get a tattoo anywhere else. Dusty is excellent at his craft and has the talent to adapt to your style and is flexible to your needs. I have spent approximately 18 hours here.
In an absolutely amazing location, I didnt think it could get better - but it did. The shop is located in a very scenic area, across the ways from the water and plenty of restaurants. My artist, Matt, was very kind and took full opportunity of the idea I had presented to him (Kraken attacking a ship) and made a stunning piece of art where I get no shortage of compliments. Every person I have met here seemed excited to work and fulfill the dreams of their patrons. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who wants or is thinking about getting a tattoo.
Ava did an awesome job! Very meticulous and made sure everything was done right!
I went in for my second tattoo ever at the age of 20 and got my best and favorite tattoo done by Jesse. I got the promise of free touch ups and his email, and card, and all this. My tattoo is great and so is his work. However wanting my third tattoo ever, because tattoos are something I take seriously and debate on, I tried to return to see Jesse after six years and was denied service and to look at another artist at his discretion, because he didnt feel like the project was for him, although his Instagram is exactly what I described I wanted done. You can accept who ever you want as a client this I understand but I will not be returning to this location after this experience.
I’ve been coming to anchors and for years! this is the best tattoo/piercing shop atmosphere around! all of the artists are crazy talented and so professional - I send everyone I know here for piercings and tattoos! truly the best around!
Got right in without an appointment, however I would make one for future work. Great artists that truly care about your experience.
Taryn pierced my septum and was so kind! It was my first facial piercing and Im so happy to have worked with her. Would recommend her to anyone looking to get pierced.
Have gotten 4 tattoos over a few years at this studio and it’s hit or miss for me. I have two tattoos that went great (Jesse was very fun and accommodating for one), a handwriting one that is completely butchered, and another that was a replica of a specific picture that the artist tried to mirror the image on without telling me. I’m glad that I caught he mirrored the image before he started, because then it wouldn’t have been the same. They aren’t the coldest or most arrogant atmosphere, but definitely have felt more welcome and comfortable at other shops. Would not recommend if you’re nervous or not assertive on what you want.
Who would I be without my tattoos? An ordinary tattooless broad I suppose. This tattoo shop is clean and comfortable. There is consistent parking closeby despite the building is located in a busy and charming, historic, business district. The staff are all friendly and approachable and the artist who has been working on me as a canvas is invaluable to me, thanks Jon Weis!
I got my tattoo in October 2017 done by jack and it was such a pleasant experience. He relocated but I would still go back and get it done by one of their other artists. I still get compliments to this day about how realistic and pretty it is 😊
Needles always make me nervous. My tattoo artist created a calming, safe, and enjoyable environment. Ill happily be back for my next tattoo!
I got a Rook piercing, she did a great job! The place was clean, she talked me through each step and it didnt hurt. I will be going back for my next piercing!
The staff is so nice and cool, real down to earth people. i got my lobes pierced and got a tattoo a year later. both times i’ve been ecstatic with the turnout. it is not the most affordable option but i think it’s worth it because of the quality of the place. will continue coming here until i move away from this area :)
I love Mac and her work I have come to her for 3 years for piercings and want to say shes done probably 15 or more the latest being a septum, double conch and a double flat. She has a way to make you feel comfortable explains everything and then talks with you or jokes to make it better. I just love her
This shop was nothing short of fantastic. The service I received was not only friendly and very helpful but the quality is fantastic. I thoroughly look forward to my next appointment!
I have had many piercings done here and all 4 of my tattoos and have always had a wonderful experience, the environment is so bright and welcoming and all of the people are too! They really get to know you and try and get a good understanding of what you are looking to do! They go above and beyond to make sure your questions are answered and that you are satisfied. They do everything to make you feel comfortable! It definitely does not feel like a typical tattoo shop! It is very clean and well kept. I always tell anyone and everyone looking for a tattoo or piercing to come here!!! Billy and Jack were two of my artists and they are absolutely amazing and I wont see anyone else!!
I got my ears pierced there & theyre all really nice, they were on time & very professional! A lil expensive but tats & piercings are the kinda thing you want done right - so its worth it
Got my nose piercing done, quick, easy and very clean.
Dusty was an amazing artist now i have a killer tat!!!
Joe is such an amazing guy super professional clean thanks again Joe
I just got my earlobes pierced for the first time here and I gotta say it was a better experience than I thought it would be. They were super nice and informed me of everything I needed to know. Would definetly recommend!
True masters of their craft! Extremely talented and professional artists that always exceed my expectations.
I just got my first tattoo done here by Matt! It was a great experience. I was comfortable and felt heard, while also receiving solid placement advice. 100% recommend :)
I had a very important tattoo that I wanted to have done. I heard only positive reviews about Anchors End, and so that was where I went for this very important tattoo. My husband, Donny, died from complications from Leukemia on November 15, 2016. Jesse did a great job. He understood how important this was for me. We talked about our families as he finished up on my tatoo. I Love It!
My daughter got an excellent tattoo from them
I cannot recommend Jesse enough! He was very patent, kind, and professional from the start to the end. He always made sure we were on the same page before starting anything and the work turned out AMAZING, definitely better than I could have imagined. You wont be disappointed choosing Jesse to create your art!
Such a great environment and awesome people to have do artwork on you! Have never been disappointed going here for piercings/tattoos
Very friendly staff, great at communicating what will be happening and when. Very clean and organized, I will be going back in the future for suren
For my first parlor experience this was a fantastic place to go! It was not my first tattoo, but I will definitely be returning here for more! The staff was extremely friendly, everything was very clean, and the overall atmosphere was fantastic! Plus, its conveniently located right above a coffee shop!
Great people with great skill!
Mack was the best. She also helped me like a week after my piercing. She helped me right away and made me feel like she was totally happy to do so. I 100% recommend her. Thanks again Girls/Guys your the best!
In a whim, I decided to get another ear piercing. Called and asked if they had availability. The individual who answered was very helpful and said I could stop by. So, I did and am so happy i did. I love the piercing, and the team at Anchors End Tattoo was great. The individual who did the piercing was very friendly and walked through everything she was doing, so no surprises. Definitely recommend.
Im going back that says it all.
I had an absolutely amazing time once again at Anchors End in Hudson. First with Matt as the artist and second with Dusty. This time I had a slightly bigger piece so I was a little nervous. But the details and art of the tattoo are beautiful, and he drew it exactly what I was hoping for and more! I am so happy with my tattoo and my experience, I would highly recommend Anchors End!
My wife and I got tattoos for our first anniversary. We had three different people recommend we go there to see Matt, and we couldnt be happier that we followed their advice. He was able to create a design that was exactly what we wanted. The tattoos themselves turned out perfectly too. The atmosphere was great, and Matt was easy to talk to, which made the whole process awesome. The price was also very reasonable.
Had a tattoo done yesterday (11/1/19) with Cole and it was an absolutely amazing experience! It was my first tattoo and I was extremely nervous and he was very understanding and helpful throughout all of it and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. If I ever get another tattoo I will definitely go back to him and anchors end!
I was so excited to go to this place after friends gave it such good reviews and what a let down. I booked a consult with Michael weeks in advance- he didnt give me the time of day. I had two tattoos in mind and he totally rushed me and did not answer any of my questions. When I asked for his opinion of where the tattoos would look good with my other tattoos he didnt even ask what I had or where I had tattoos. I said I wanted the writing and way dates were written to match another tattoo I had and he didnt even look at it. One tattoo I wanted a mirror image of and he took a picture of it on a tablet not a photocopy... How can that be an exact replica if you dont have the true size?! He kept saying he had a meeting to go to... Then why not reschedule with me?! He maybe spent 10-15 min with me and I didnt feel listened to at all. The girls at the front desk were super sweet but when I said I may want to meet a different tattoo artist they said oh no hes really good hes done plenty of tattoos like that. I truly left feeling dejected and frustrated. Went to a different tattoo parlor the next day and had a great experience!
I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. I got my piercing done there by Mack and she was very nice and patient with me. Its very clean and great place to go for piercing or tattoos.
Finally decided to get my nose pierced (again). Like a jerk, I came in 20 minutes before they closed. Everyone was cool about it, Mack took me back quick in and out. She is professional and non-judgmental. I look awesome 😂. Thanks Mack!
Absolutely amazing! Staff was very friendly and super easy to work with. I have gotten 2 of my tattoos there, and each time they came out AMAZING. Would definitely recommend coming here if youre looking for a good place. Matt is my go to, if youre looking for a specific artist. It takes my about 45 min to get here, and it is worth the drive every time. Prices are very reasonable, and they do not skimp on quality.
Got a piercing done with Mack and she was extremely gentle and so nice. She definitely knows what shes doing, highly recommend! My friend also had a couple piercings by her and said she was very gentle as well. Will definitely be coming back
Billy is the sweetest. So kind and extremely professional. I have multiple tattoos, and have been waiting for the opportunity to see him after multiple referrals. He is very talented, and worth the wait. The entire staff is very welcoming and the shop is clean. Thank you Billy for giving me my most meaningful tattoo.
Dusty was amazing - best artist I have had yet.
Dusty is absolutely amazing. He stayed late so I could get what I wanted done. ❤️🙌🏼 His work is beautiful and he’s a true artist. I’m def going to get my next tat from him. 🙌🏼
Clean, professional shop. My Piercer was informative and made the process super quick and easy without sacrificing sterility. My tattoo artist was great for seeing my vision and working with me to ensure my tattoo was everything I wanted. Definitely recommend this shop for tattooing or piercing services.
Love this place! Michael did an amazing job on my sleeve tattoo and Mackenzie is an awesome piercer. They make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. They communicate very well and make sure that you like the placement and look of everything before they pierce or tattoo! Defiantly recomend them and will definatly be going back for more tattoos and piercings!
Just got an industrial piercing yesterday and I was very scared but it was honestly the best experience I couldve asked for. My piercer Mackenzie was so nice and calming and talked me through everything so I knew what was happening. 100% recommend Anchors End and I will definitely go back for future piercings and tattoos!
Great place for a piercing. In and out in minutes with a great price. Highly recommend. Super friendly staff that made me feel comfortable.
I live in Minnesota, and this is my go to stop for piercings AND tattoos for over a year now. Dusty is an incredible artist and is wonderful with helping you through the process. He answered all my newbie questions and even gave me his email if I had any more questions. Mack is AWESOME and SO welcoming! She has done many of my piercings and they always heal so well and she’s always super stoked to help pick out and change your jewelry once it’s healed. Yesterday I went in and there was an apprentice whose name I believe is Elle. She was there when Mack had pierced me previously but yesterday she pierced me for the first time and I could not be more happy. She did my nostril and my bridge and they already are healing very well, minimal swelling/soreness and redness! Honestly the best shop of all time. Super accommodating!!
I love Anchors End! They have excellent staff that are not only friendly, hilarious, and kind but contain a wealth of knowledge. Luke is my main guy and is by far my favorite artist. He does quick amazing work while achieving exactly what you want. I highly recommend Anchors End to anyone!
Complete waste of money... I had Cole the apprentice (that shouldve been my first red flag) My tattoo was of a cross and lettering. I had to come back twice and Im still NOT happy with it. Coles reply was It looks fine to me I could care less if it looks fine to an artist, its on my body for life. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE! I will never go back, or recommend ANYONE to go here!!!!!!!
I would highly recommend this tattoo shop to absolutely everyone and anyone. I have been overly satisfied with every piece of work done here. If quality, long lasting artwork by amazing experienced artists is what you’re seeking, this is the place for you! The piercing professionals are more than exceptional as well! All around, I would feel safe guaranteeing a successful experience for any individual interested in services at Anchors End!
Went to get my septum pierced here yesterday and had such a great experience! I was really nervous but Mack was super sweet and she talked me through the whole process, making me feel as comfortable as possible. She also widened the horseshoe per my request so I could flip it up and was very considerate. Very clean and relaxed environment and it was only $60 compared to $75-80 at literally every other place I looked into. Will definitely be making this my regular place!
Super helpful and friendly! Very clean and inviting. I was there with my daughter who was getting her 1st tattoo for her 18th Birthday!
Today I went to Anchors End Tattoo for the first time and had an awesome experience! Everyone there was super friendly. We were chatting and sharing some laughs. I just walked in and was able to get my nose pieced right away by Mack which she did a great job and also was very hilarious😂 Definitely coming back to get some ink dope!😁
I given them three stars. You lost one for being elitists and being a bit arrogant.You lost one for your apprentice/ receptionist talking more about the work you all have put on him rather than focusing on me and my ideas for my tattoo.I understand he was not going to tattoo me, but still, it’s his job to be interested in the prospective clients thoughts.Very clean studio! Work is top notch
Jesse is the best! I have put off this experience for three years to find the right artist and found him! Jesse is a talented artist, openly tells you his opinion and light touch. Will continue to go back every few months for more. Great experience, super clean, knowledgeable and safe. My tatoos are bold and vibrant. Thank you Jesse!!!
Awesome shop!! Very clean and they do wonderful tattoos and piercings. Mack was such a sweetheart to work with, I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Five stars, very pleased. Dope space too.
Totally amazing experience here. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They gave me great advice on what to get and how to care for it. Only place Ill go to get a good tattoo.
The establishment is very nice on the inside and the staff was kind. I got my first tattoo was very well done! I unfortunately had some scaring where I got my tattoo. I thought that I may have not taken care of it well enough so I went back later that year to get my second and a touch up on my first. My second one also became scared and the artist I had, Micheal did both tattoos and honestly poor job with my touch up and second tattoo. He added stuff to my first tattoo that I did not like and the second tattoo was very faded on half of it. It is a same because I really like the establishment and the staff but did not the the work I received from Micheal was good. I only hope I can get the tattoos touched up and make them look the way I want.
This was the shop I chose when I got my first tattoo years ago. The environment is welcoming and very clean. Most of the staff are personable and do wonderful work. My advice, especially for first timers, is to do your research. Each artist has their work displayed as well as a mini bio about them on Anchors Ends website. Ive been tattooed by Jack and Jesse. Theyre both incredible! So far I have 4 tattoos from here and Im itching to get another. I highly recommend this place!
My friend got a tattoo here. The facility was very nice & clean. He wanted the base started for a sleeve. There were dark straight lines and shading included in this tattoo. After some days of healing it started to scab over, as it should, except...there were hard spots that were yellow (puss) scabs that were very painful. The parts that were supposed to be solid black were blotchy and not filled in. The faded - shading was choppy and looked unfinished. The lines were crooked and the dark shading went outside the lines. The guy was very young & had only been tattooing for 6 months which we didnt know until after the session (not hearing this from him). This tattoo had exact stenciling (which I understand still takes great skill) but was not free handed. My advice...dont get a tattoo by anybody under 40 years old and make sure you understand the skill level and experience of your tattoo artist. Very disappointed and will be going back (but to a different employee) to hopefully get it fixed as best as they can.
As someone who is very particular about tattoos, Ive got to hand it to Jack for being very understanding about where I wanted my tattoo and how I wanted it fixed in some areas. No tattoo artist wants to deal with that, but Jack. Laid back, humble, awesome crew. I cant wait to get my shading done. I mean, its been a whole year after all. (my fault)
Ive gotten 4 of my piercings done at this shop. However I dont have any tattoos from this shop, but I have a few friends that have and they love their tattoos. Matt is a great piercer, makes you very comfortable and very welcome, Ive had no problems with my piercings healing. Hes extremely knowledgeable about any questions you may have. Love it there.
This place rocks! Highly recommend!! I live out of state now, but whenever I want another tattoo I wait until a holiday trip back to WI to schedule a tattoo appt. at Anchors End. Theyve done three for me now, two small ones on my feet that that have held up really well. This past weekend I got a large side piece done by Jesse, and damn, that line work was incredible! Great staff, clean shop, cant say enough good things.
It was so clean, the artists were friendly and the Tattoo looks amazing!
Kyle does amazing most definitely willing to work with you to help you design your perfect tattoo very laid-back atmosphere great prices great work look forward getting back on the table
My name is Brittany and Matt did tattoos for me and my mom a couple months ago. We got matching tattoos, it was of my brother who had recently passed and Matt completely messed them up. They don’t even look like the picture we brought in. We told him we were unhappy and he said talk to Joe. That did no good all he did was threaten us. Don’t go there! They are all on drugs
I didnt have a tattoo parlor until I got a referral by one of my coworkers. Made an appointment with my youngest brother a month before our time. This ensured our time and gave them a chance to work a little on my brothers design. When we went in, we had a great time. The place was clean, the people were tons of fun. My brother got his first tattoo and it went as smoothly as possible, they even joked around a little when the parents showed up to give them a little grief about them mutilating their baby. When it came to my turn, we shot ideas back and forth until my design was modified and improved. Overall, I give two thumbs up. I had a great time and look forward to going again. Shout out to Luke for a job well done!
Very clean!!! Great place!
Matt did my double nose piercing last week and he was absolutely awesome. He talked with my friends and I and made sure we were really comfortable. Definitely going to him for any future piercings. All the staff was super friendly and joked with us.
Dusty did an amazing job on my first tattoos! Cant wait to get some more!
Wow what a great experience from start to finish! The staff was very professional and courteous, the shop very well decorated and pleasant, and my artist Matt was great! He gave helpful advice on placement and styling of my tattoo. Plus, he was very personable and nice to chat with. The price was also super reasonable which was an unexpected bonus! I live in Farmington, MN which is about 45 mins away from Hudson but definitely worth the drive for future work! Thanks Anchors End!
Love this place! The artist are always willing to help find the best place to put your tattoo. The place is clean, classy with a touch of edge. The artist know what they are doing and they keep this place looking great!
Have gotten multiple pieces done here by Billy and have been satisfied each time! Very cool location as well. Staff here are all really nice and helpful, making sure you love your new artwork. Shop is clean, well maintained, and ran by professionals. Very solid tattoo shop!
Great environment, professional individuals and talented artists! We HIGHLY recommended Anchors End Tattoo.
From the moment I walked in the door to the shop I was truly impressed with Anchors End. The employees are all very personalable and made me comfortable the entire time I was there. Micheal was my artist and I cant say enough good things about him. He did everything he could to ensure I was happy with my tattoo from the design stage to the final product. If your looking for a shop to work with check out Anchors End Tattoo. They will be the only shop I use for my next tattoos.
Great service! Honest, red cross certified and talented!
Fantastic! Called on a Monday, and Mack said to come in on Tues. She says she is relatively new - well I call BS. She was great! Highly recommend!!!!!
Friendly staff and talented artists. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. Very clean.
Went in for my first tattoo about a month ago, and had such an awesome experiance! Got exactly what I wanted, and I couldnt be more happy! Dustin did the work, and I will definetly return for more!! Awesome place! Totally recommend!
Have gotten 2 different tattoos 2 years apart different artists and love both!
This place is a little spendy (but worth it!) And the staff here were really cool!! The person who did my tattoo was really good and he freehanded everything! They come up with designs really fast and make you feel really comfortable while giving the tattoo! They also do free touch ups! This place is awesome! Definitely coming back for my next tattoo!
Great place and awesome work! Matt did a really great job on my Kirin Tor tattoo.
You have one chance to get this right. Dont even think of going anywhere else. This is a team of 10s. I have 30 hours with them and a couple of bucks. their colors, lines, artistry is the most you can hope for.
I got my nipples pierced and my friend got his ear and septum pierced. Very affordable! Clean af and nice staff!
