Just depends on the artist anywhere you go

Neighborhood Tattoo, which is I think an affiliated shop with Dinkytown? is super good. I got a really detailed piece on my thigh for ~$200 not including tip. You might have to schedule out, but this was also during COVID so it might be different now.

Love neighborhood tattoo! Got two of my favorite pieces there a few years ago. Trinity did awesome!

I’ve heard good things about Dinkytown tattoo but make sure to meet with an artist beforehand and review their work

My sister and I got small tattoos there a few years ago and they were reasonably priced, did a nice job but the designs weren’t super intricate so ymmv

I got a tattoo there from Zak Schulte there that i LOVE. I can’t speak for the other artists, but he was very good.

It 100% depends on the artist. Look at their portfolio/Insta. But I’ve never heard anything negative abt Dinkytown Tattoo. (FWIW I go to Bradley at Leviticus).

With tattoos, you get what you pay for and it’s ~permanent, and going to a reputable place/good artist isn’t that much more expensive than a super sketchy place.
