Set up my appointment with Adam, and when I walked in was immediately greeted and assisted with my service. Since it was a re~pierce, went over all the details throughly and he did phenomenal job!!!Super awesome place and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Adam Holt performed my lobe re-piercings today. Booking was super easy and quick, the jewelry used is cute, the studio was clean and welcoming, & the service provided was phenomenal.Tis a shame 5 stars is the limit for reviews^.~

Went here for a flash tattoo special and they were incredible! Extremely clean, quick work (even though they stayed open extra hours to fit more people in) and it looks great! Was my first tattoo and I felt super safe and taken care of the whole time. Thanks, Rachel!

Josh Brown did a portrait of my son on my 4arm so detailed it looks like a photograph. Great work from a great guy. I would recommend him to anyone who want a portrait tat.

Best tatto shop in town. Definitely go in and talk to Adam about piercings if you have any questions. Matt and Stephanie the owners are also fabulous with Stephanie always treating you like family and Matt always making you feel at home!

My 7 and 9 year olds wanted their ears pierced - I am so glad we came to Sacred Heart! Adam did an amazing job making my nervous kids feel comfortable and have some fun. The studio was very clean and inviting. I highly recommend bringing your kids here if they’d like to have their ear lobes pierced!

Ashlyn Sash was the best! 10/10 satisfied!

Went to get my daughters septum pierced. The place was very clean and had a great vibe. Adam did a excellent job at doing the piercing. My daughter was very nervous but he explained everything he was going to do and I think that made her much less nervous. But, he did it quick, but perfect job and my daughter said she barely felt anything. Definitely recommend going here for any piercing.

Josh Brown is an amazing tattoo artist. Happy to travel from La Crosse to see him!!! Very clean studio and everyone is very friendly.

I’ve gotten a few piercings here and never been disappointed! Great service and welcoming environment. I definitely recommend going here!

They are amazing! Amazing quality and customer service. Seriously the best place for tattoos and piercings!

Had a wonderful experience. Everyone here treated me and my accomplis like family. The owner Matt is an amazing artist, and obviously very well accomplished. I was super surprised at their amazing attitudes, as well as the devotion to charitable causes. Would give them 10 stars if I could! GET YOUR WORK DONE HERE!

I came for the anniversary flash day and OMG I was not disappointed! Friendly staff, amazing sanitary practices, and the tattoo turned out PERFECT. I’m coming back as frequently as I can.

Adam put my daughter at ease & was very friendly. She said it barely hurt- just a pinch & significantly less than the piercings she had done with a gun. Adam did an excellent job and they are healing nicely. We will be back.

Had my nipples pierced by Adam. He was professional and made me feel comfortable. The studio is so clean and everyone is welcoming!

Asked Matt for a tornado tattoo and told him to design it himself instead of an ordinary picture. Wasnt expecting anything special, but Matt took EXACTLY everything I asked for and added to it. I was overwhelmed with how it turned out, and it even had better designs than I was looking for. Started with a thunderstorm cloud with lightning all the way up to adding a tornado into the cloud itself. Couldnt have been more happy with it. Shop was clean and well disinfected. Matt had a clean-up and set-up routine that left noting out. Picture isnt the greatest because Im lazy and didnt want to go all the way to the big mirror UPSTAIRS LOL. Thank you Matt, have some new ideas for when I come back to MN from FL next year, hopefully all the Covid BS is gone by then.

We chose to get my daughters ears pierced at a tattoo shop because it is safer and more sterile. Sacred Heart did a great job. They were great with kids, friendly, welcoming and CLEAN. It was a great experience for my daughter.

Great service! Adam was so kind to offer after-care advice via text as needed. Quick and easy and my nose looks and feels great!

They had a cancelation and were able to get me in right away. Tattoo artist gave honest opinions in regards to placement of my tattoo and did an amazing job at the design.

Went here a couple weeks ago for my conch piercing and Adam did an amazing job!! Super quick & painless compared to piercings I’ve got at other places. Will definitely be coming back for more piercings in the future!!

Adam was an excellent piercer. Brought my daughter in to get her earlobes done and he walked her through everything he was doing. Very little pain, and she said they are great 2 days later. Would recommend a professional piercer vs a mall shop every time.

Addicted to my artist is an understatement. James has been my tattoo artist since 2017 when he found room to get me in for a memorial tattoo on my golden birthday when he was already completely booked. I had never been tattooed by him at that time and he still went out of his way for me, which he has continued to do for the past four years. Since 2017, he has given me a half sleeve, a cover up, and two “on a whim” fun tattoos. His art is INSANE and I have gotten more compliments than I can count on the designs he’s created for me. James is kind, respectful, and understanding when it comes to “pain points” on people getting their first tattoos. I’d honestly rather go here than the dentist. His art is impeccable, humor is next level and his personality is just an added bonus. Can’t recommend enough!!

Absolutely love this place! My brother and I each have 2 tattoos from here and we both had amazing experiences! I highly recommend James or Josh! Very chill, very clean and an amazing atmosphere to be in. Would rate 6/5 but I can’t do that so 5/5 is good enough 😊

They are an amazing staff and do impeccable work!!! I would recommend them to anyone!

Adam was amazing. I was nervous about the piercing but he did awesome. My daughter and I will definitely return for future piercings.

Adam is amazing. He pierced my Daith in and I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. The process was completely painless and he answers all my questions. Highly recommend.

So, the first time I went there it was great. Second time I had my nose ring fall out. They put on a new one for me. They tightened my noise ring so tight where my noise is starting to hurt. I am trying my best to take it out and it won’t come out.

Great service in a friendly, clean environment.

Adam is the best piercer. I wont go to anyone else.

Great place. Very professional. Very clean. Very very nice. Will be going there for my next piercing.

My 14 year old daughter got her nose pierced and Adam the piercer was very professional!

My wifes favorite shop in Rochester.

I was told to come in and found out the next day that the person there wasnt even supposed to tattoo me yet and because of that I got tattooed and they didnt even tattoo it all the way through so the tattoo is ruined and told me it was their fault from the beginning and then I ask to get it fixed and they tell me I can and then avoids me for 2 months only to tell me that I made them feel uncomfortable and that it was my fault that the tattoo got ruined.

I got an eyebrow piercing with Adam. He was very friendly and professional and did a great job. He even matched my piercing with my hair color (pink)! He also helped me out with getting another bar put in after mine fell out in the shower. The piercing is healing great - no issues there! Overall great experience - Ill be coming back again!

Adam did an amazing job on my eyebrow piercing. I was nervous for no reason. Place was very clean.

My family (there were 12 of us) visited Sacred Heart to have tattoos done in remembrance of our Grandmother. We had an absolute blast! Matt and Jason ( I believe Luke helped out the next day too) were great and also very helpful. They truly made this experience everything that we were hoping for! Everyones final tattoos truly surpassed our expectations! I would recommend this Tattoo Studio in a heartbeat and would definately go back for more art.

Very nice and they always go above and beyond what I expect for each tattoo. Everything is so clean. They really work hard on every design and try to make a comfortable environment for their customs. I love geeking out with them and goofing around.

Great service and helpful staff.

Profesionnal tatoo shop, with very good artists, very busy but I worked with my artist over months to design exactly what I wanted, we modified the sketch a lot of time until it was perfect, the tattoo was done as expected in time. Hygiene is perfect, overall I highly recommend the shop, very serious.But be patient and you will get eventually what you asked for ;)

I took my 16 year old to get her nose pierced for her birthday, as a momma bear I wanted my cub to get high quality care and we did. Adam is a clean, sanitary, informative, knowledgeable professional. I was very impressed.

Huge THANK YOU to Sacred Heart!!! We had a birthday party today for one of my friends and we were all able to get exactly what we wanted for tattoos. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Jim Hores worked all day getting us all inked. Its not easy to please 6 people at the same time but he managed to do just that! Jim Thank You for all the hard work you put into today!

Adam is such a good piercer! Super friendly and explains everything!

Everyone at the shop was wonderful. I got work done by Josh Brown and it is everything I hoped for. A beautiful piece to enjoy

The only place Ill get a tattoo. Super chill environment, very clean, and amazing artwork!

Great experience - Adam was professional and reassuring through the whole process and I feel like Im in good hands if I have follow up questions. Plus, they look great!

Such a cool place to get your tattoo ! Plus they make you feel welcome and the setting is very relaxing ! Highly recommend it!

Always great work done. All the artists are extremely talented, clean, and very welcoming environment!! Definitely will recommend hands down!!

I was super anxious when i impulsively went in to pierce my cartilage but the guy who did it had comforting, like, laid back energy so it was a really good experience. I was in and out in 10 minutes and my cartilage piercing is healing nicely. 💜❤💜

What a great experience! I was really nervous going in for my first tattoo, but everybody was friendly and helpful. I worked with Nick Sinclair who was kind, personable, professional, and talented. He was excited about my design and patient with my pickiness about details (No problem; it *is* kind of permanent, he said). He thoroughly explained the process and aftercare and set me at ease. Im thrilled to have the ink and if (when) I get another, Ill definitely be back. 6/5!

Rachel is amazing!

Update: I was very pleased that one of the tattoo artists reached out to me and apologized for the poor interaction in order to resolve the situation with their front desk staff. I continuously look at the work of these artists and it’s incredible! The environment seems very open, welcoming, and clean.Disappointed by the front desk staff. Wish I could say my first impression was amazing because I am overwhelmed at the incredible work these tattoo artist share on their website and instagram pages. However, walked in to schedule a tattoo consultation (not a walk-in consultations....literally to schedule a consultation appointment) and I was greeted with a very rude front desk worker. Bad attitude by her and no customer service skills. Asked about multiple artists and their schedules and she was super unhelpful. Decided to walk out and hope to have a better experience next time. Bad first impression. Super bummed. The work these artists share is way better than this front desk worker’s attitude. Hope she can learn some better customer service so she doesn’t ultimately drive away customers.

Quick and professional response to all questions.Great service!

Rachel (vhexi) was amazing!!! my tattoo came out just like i wanted and she was so kind, and helpful. 100% recommend going to her for tattoos!

I booked in advance at the FosterArend event where Sacred Heart had a booth in support of raising awareness and funds for the Dorothy Day Shelter. This was my first and only tattoo I was going to get and it had great sentimental value. I had no idea or expectations of the amazing experience I was going to have! From the most pleasant young lady, Martie, that kindly greeted and helped me to the talented, patient owner, Matt, that did an outstanding job on my tattoo. These guys are genuine, kind and extremely talented! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Had my first ever tattoo here and i am VERY happy with it! Nicholas Sinclair does an amazing job & he really does take his time to make sure you are 100% happy with it! highly recommend him and this place, loved the environment!!

Great people. awesome work

Got my inner conch piercing done here today, super quick and painless!! Very happy with it! Thank you Adam and Marina!! 🤗

Wonderful place all around. Very laid back people. They let you watch tv while getting tatted too. All workers are extremely talented. Adam does an amazing job at piercings while also making sure you are feeling alright. The tattooers are extremely talented in every aspect what so ever. I highly recommend any of the guys at this place. I don’t know why they aren’t 5/5 stars to be honest.

I am SO glad I went to Sacred Heart to get my industrial piercing done! The whole process was very quick and much less stressful than I had anticipated. Adam did such a great job and I will without a doubt go back to him if I ever want to get another piercing done. All of the other people working there were very professional and so nice as well. I also appreciated actually being able to schedule an appointment to get my piercing done - most of the places I looked at before deciding on Sacred Heart were walk-ins only.

I have really enjoyed my experience with Sacred Heart Studios! My tattoo artist was Mike and he is an awesome guy. Very relaxing and entertaining for sure while you are being stabbed with needles. The whole staff have been great though as well, very inviting and engage the customers well, even if not tattooing them. I would recommend them because they are talented, respectful, and awesome.

I only got one tattoo done and it was my first, so without sounding bias this is what i can say about sacred heart studio. They will treat you like any good family would. If you’re nervous they will do everything they can to make you feel more comfortable with your new ink. They’ll talk about your interests as they work and the work they do is very detailed better than what id hoped for. James Dahnhert did especially well paying attention to detail and his work is top notch. I would recommend sacred heart for anyone getting their first or fiftieth tattoo and will definitely be going back there again.

This is stage one of an awesome cover up. My wife was reminded of a poor, youthful, and unplanned decision every night weve been together for 20 years. Now were both prowd pieces of art that was thankfully done by James and Luke. Luke did a full sleeve memorial dedicated to my wifes mother. Couldnt of asked for a better experience. I must say, thank you

This was my first time at Sacred Heart and was by far the best tattoo experience I have had yet! Matt had several ideas ready when I got there, and I am so happy with what he designed for me. As soon as I met Matt, I immediately relaxed. He is very professional. Everyone in the studio were extremely welcoming and friendly and the studio is very clean and nice. Im definitely ready to go back for another tattoo!

I stopped by to see if I could schedule a consult with one of their talented artists. But was rudely diverted by a red-headed female worker. Her snarky demeanor was an instant turn off. I am an artist myself and i had wanted to have someone with outstanding talent take my art and make it into a permanent tattoo. I was unaware you only do your own original art and would redo my art to your liking. Thank you for the two minutes of time it took to educate me and also help me decide I will go elsewhere for my other tattoos. I had seen some very talented artists there, but the customer service left me feeling like Ill pass. Sad, really sad. Plus there were three others, perhaps artists, sitting around a table reading magazines with no care. I guess it is what it is.

I had a great time getting my tattoo at Sacred Heart Studios! My artist was Jim. Very professional, creative, and down-to-earth cool guy. I had a half sleeve and chest done. The imagery has personal meaning and was something Id wanted for a long time. And Jim nailed it! Exactly what I wanted! He makes sure everyone is on the same page before starting and takes time to design with detail. If I could select 10 stars in the review i would, no joke. If you want a tattoo done right check these guys out. Sit back, relax, and watch true artists at work!

My artist James was awesome! He knew this was my first tattoo, so he made sure I was comfortable and let me know I could stop or take a break at any time. He was fun to chat with during my session and made me feel at ease. He also made sure that I knew about the aftercare, was happy to answer any questions, and said I could call him or send pics if something about the aftercare worried me. I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting their first tattoo, especially if they are apprehensive.In addition, the studio itself is very nice. Its clean and well lit. You definitely feel comfortable walking in and asking questions, unlike some of the other places in town. If I decide to have any future work, it will be here.Edit: 4/18/18 - Just back from getting another beautiful, new tattoo. Still 5/5 stars and all of my previous comments still stand. Additionally, my tattoo from last year still looks fantastic!

Fantastic service! Ive had a piercing and tattoo here now. Theyre fantastic! Super nice and helpful with designs and location of tattoo and piercings. Very very clean studio. I will be going back there for all my tattoo and piercing needs!

Definitely recommend piercings with Adam here! I had my nose and industrial done by him and thoroughly pleased with both. Also have been tattooed here before, just as good!

Adam was great with piercing the ears of my daughter and her two friends (3 girls ages 6 and 7). He explained everything clearly and thoroughly in a way they could understand. He let them sit together, hold hands, watch the process, and encourage each other, and all 3 of them made it through easily with smiles and two beautifully pierced ears. It was smooth and nearly-pain-free. Dont forget to bring your kids birth certificate and your ID.

Awesome place all around! Great atmosphere with talented artists. Luke was awesome at visualizing my tattoo idea and couldnt of done a better job! Thanks guys cant wait for the next one!

I got my first tattoo by Jim.he did a fantastic job at drawing up what i wanted. He was very easy to work with. Jim was very clean, friendly and he was very caring about my needs. Jim made me very comfortable for my first time. He went above and beyond my expectations. This was a awesome experience Im very impressed with Jims artistic ability to draw. I will be definitely be going back to sacred heart studios to see Jim

Clean friendly environment! Kickass artist

This is a very professional shop! If this is your first tattoo or your 50th you must know this is a clean shop with sanitary measures and after care education. I got amazing work done by Nick Sinclair. Im going to return to him or any of the other artist there. They listen and I am happy.Thank you.

Sacred Heart Studios has amazing artists who are professional, very talented and love what they do. I had a cover up done on my shoulder blade by Matt Holt and he took the time to talk with me about what ideas i wanted and then draw up a tattoo. The shop is very clean and has a nice atmosphere. I can honestly say that i have an incredible piece of ART on my body thanks to Matt.

Exceptional artists great atmosphere. You wont be disappointed with any of these artists. I had Jim do a full sleeve he designed and its amazing. I had Luke do a couple tattoos also as an Apprentice and he just a natural. From the moment you walk in you are treated like family from all of them. A+++ guys I wont go anywhere else.

The staff was very helpful and friendly and very professional. I was impressed with the cleanliness. The gal that did my piercing was fantastic and it was pretty painless. I would recommend them to anyone!

Very professional, very welcoming staff makes you feel like family, amazing artists, the cleanest of studios. They make your vision come to life! I would never go anywhere else! Everyone is very professional and takes the time to ensure you get exactly what you want, making changes you would like on the spot. Very informative of how to treat/ clean/ care for anything you have done here!

Awesome, friendly and extremely talented artists! This shop has a very clean and comfortable atmosphere. Great location, right downtown. They have a local art gallery that changes through featured artists monthly and the tattoo artists are all really involved in the local art scene.

I got 4 piercings done on one ear in one day. Adam was my piercer. I had gotten the same piercings done before at a different studio which got infected. Adam reassured me that his method is full-proof if you follow all of the after care.My piercings are now completely healed with no issues.The piercings themselves are beautifully placed and they have excellent jewelry. The shop is not scary or sketchy its better than all the shops Ive been in.Adam made me feel relaxed and I had a wonderful experience. Would recommend to anyone, especially people getting their 1st tattoos and piercings. Thanks Sacred Heart!

I just got my third tattoo — left arm sleeve from my collar bone to forearm. Could not be happier and appreciate the entire process that Sacred Heart pours into creating a tattoo.Prior to going to Sacred Heart I checked out all portfolios in town. Even ate a deposit at a different shop after I found Sacred Heart.Matt and his team are professional artists that are truly passionate about their craft. They are perfectionists, in my opinion, not only help you create the piece of your choice, but support you through the entire process. Over hearing them talk with other customers they are patient, kind and take the time to make sure you are ready and comfortable with your tattoo. The shop had a chill vibe, was clean and safe.After presenting my idea to Matt, he then created a water color rendition. Once we agreed on placement and composition—Matt got to work.Again, could NOT be happier. Highly stress that Matt and his team are the real deal. Feel free to shop around Rochester, but you wont find a better team of professionals then Sacred Heart.Ive immediately gotten awesome feedback and reviews of my sleeve from friends and even strangers.Take my word for it—youll be back.Cheers

Got my first piercing, naval (belly) here with Adam. Hes super respectful, and hes very comforting. Its a very clean, and organized shop, and Adam does an amazing job! My piercing is healing great and Isnt giving issues other than the regular soreness. Im definitely coming here for my first tattoo, everyone was super kind! Definitely recommend this shop! #beatthedrool ;)

Excellent overall experience at Sacred Heart. Mike is not only a superb artist, but makes the whole session fun and relaxed. The studio is clean; staff is nice and professional.

I seen James for a mendala tattoo and Im in love. The work on it is so clean I cant wait to finish my sleeve with him. Thanks sacred heart and James for being very welcoming, clean and having the best artists In Rochester. Also if you havent been there yet check the bathroom out the Chandelier is beautiful:)

All the artists that work there are the most courteous, and understanding people I have met since getting tattoos. The customer is priority #1 every time. They work with your ideas and bidget instead of looking out for their own pockets. Some of the money brought in, goes towards a good cause as well, which is unheard of. They also are bringing back the art scene this city has been needing for a long time as well. Best studio I know!

I had a rook peircing just before Christmas with Adam. He made me feel comfortable and let me chatter to keep my mind busy while he was prepping. Everything thing was welcoming and clean. Adam explained everything really well and all is healing! Lots of compliments on the piercing!

Luke did my first tattoo ever. He’s very skilled in his designs and knows what he’s doing. He makes the session go smooth and he’s a very nice guy! 😁

Sacred Heart cares. Its no secret body modification is a painful business. The artists here use an amazing guest experience to ease the way. All the while taking care to deliver the end result youve always dreamed of. I havent seen better work anywhere else. Top marks and all that jazz.

This place is amazing my daughter has had four piercings at Sacred Heart Studios. We will definitely be back again

From start to finish our experience at sacred heart was fantastic. We got our tattoos from mike and not only did they turn out great, but it was a great time getting them. He answered all of the questions and concerns we had, and we’re more than happy with our decision to go to sacred heart!

Love Sacred Heart! Ive been here several times and always have a good experience! The atmosphere is relaxing and fun. Definitely recommend. Dis place dope

Great experience. Guys here are very friendly and accommodating. But can also hold a conversation. As far as the work, I am very pleased with my new tattoos and it came out exactly as I imagined it, which is not always easy to do. I would definitely recommend these guys and can guarantee my next tat will be done here.

I had an AMAZING EXPERIENCE, very friendly and welcoming. Very professional and really good with what they do. Thank you Adam and your girlfriend 😊 I will come back.

Excellent business. Matt, Jim, and Mike are all excellent artists with unique styles that really make each tattoo one-of-a-kind. They also have very reasonable rates and will negotiate the final price so that clients get exactly what they want. The location is convenient as well, being only about a block away from the center street parking ramp. The parlor itself is unique in that it doubles as an art gallery with pieces from local artists in addition to the Sacred Heart team. The business is also very involved with the Rochester community, being supportive of local art events both in the physical arts and the music scene as well. These guys have the best parlor in Rochester, if not all of Southern Minnesota

James did an excellent job😅! I drew up a design and he killed it. I really recommend him because he puts maximum effort into his work.

I got my first tattoo here. Jason was the artist, and he did an amazing job. The tattoo came out perfectly, he is a very experienced artist, and i paid exactly what i was quoted. Overall a great shop with many great artists, I plan on going back for my next tattoo. Would recommend to anyone looking for a tattoo in the Rochester area.

Got a tattoo from mike ...he does great work and look forward to future work with him

I had my helix pierced by Adam. He was very knowledgeable about everything and made sure I was ok. At first I was a little hesitant about going there but after seeing the shop and meeting the people I felt very safe and in good hands. I would even consider getting a tattoo there now.

Very nice tattoo shop. The shop is very clean and inviting when you go in. Local artisans have their artwork on the walls. Matt is very talented and professional. The other tattoo artists are very talented as well. The shop is very welcoming.

Im very proud to be a part of the tattoo community in Rochester. I believe I have put together a solid crew of hard working and dedicated artists who work hard to bring you the best custom designs anywhere. Thank you for reading our reviews. Please take the time to look at our portfolios then rate us and write your own review.

James is a fantastic artist and really took my ideas and turned them into a beautiful tattoo. The shop is super clean and inviting and the guys were all super professional. I love that they use eachother to bounce ideas and all truly care about their customers experience. Cant wait to go back and add to my beautiful ink!!@
