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!

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

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.

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

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

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

Quick and professional response to all questions.Great service!

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!

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

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 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.

Clean friendly environment! Kickass artist

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.

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 ;)

Highly rated for a reason.

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!!

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!

Big space, clean, and beautiful art everywhere!

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!

Jim is such an amazing artist! Everyone is the studio is also friendly. Only place I get tattoos.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

James D. rocks! Line work is spot on! Definitely can feel his energy when working!

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

Great work and detail with very reasonable prices. Definitely coming back here for all my future tattoos!

My wife and I have loved the work theyve done for her, James is an amazing artist!

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.

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 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!

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.

The only place i bring my 6 Daughters to for theyre piercings. Adam is excellent with Procedures, Questions, and advice. My girls love him, and i trust him which i dont do often with most people.

These guys are amazing, they do fantastic at their job, and love the results

Clean sterlie business, so i wonder why they cleaned my jewelry, to put back in but not either ear?

Staff is educated and knowledgeable about cutting edge technologies in piercing involving medical grade titanium implants, using latest innovations in art, ink, and custom tattoos. Staff is professional. Portfolios on site.

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.

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.

Nice place & great service.

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!

Matt did bith of my tattoos and i have been nothing but very happy with them! I will deffinetly be going back to get another tattoo!

Had a really great experience there and Mike did excellent work. Highly recommend.

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!

There is no better place in town to get inked. They are not just tattooists, they are artists above all. Each artist here has mastered dozens of mediums, not just tattoo, If you want to wear a piece of art worthy of an art gallery, this place is for 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!

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 ;)

Luke did a great job designing and giving me my first tattoo. Definitely recommend

Extremely unprofessional piercer asking people to expose their piercing issue in public. Very combative and hostile. Will never return. Manager if you care about your business respond to this grievance on how you plan to correct this matter. Will never return and never recommend this parlor. Worst costumer service!!! This place gets a zero in my book.

I got a Daith piercing here and I absolutely love this place. It is awesome inside, so full of art, friendly people and everyone was talking and laughing. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a tattoo or piercing.

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!

Staff is very helpful and the artists are super talented.

Beautiful tattoo parlor, nicest one Ive been in. Had to have a piercing put back in. Very accommodating, very clean. Adam was very professional.

They do very good work at a fair price.

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

Love this place so peaceful and the people are wonderful

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!!@

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.

Very professional staff and very nice professional looking studio. Greeted me upon arrival. We did a walk in and had Adam pierce my 6 year olds ears. Couldnt have asked for a better experience, she felt like the most important birthday girl ever! It was expensive, but you get what you pay for. The artist and his practice was sanitary and he explained things in a way she could understand. This was a great experience for everyone involved. Thanks again guys!

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!

Adam did my piercing, he made me feel comfortable, and he helps with your after care. Its been a month and they look great!

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:)

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!

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.

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.

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.

Ive gotten two piercings here. Adam is great! Very friendly and personable. Hes also willing to work with you and problem solve any issues that come up with his piercings.

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.

Got all my tats done here and I love the artwork and the atmosphere here is vibrant

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

The shop is very clean and professional. The piercer Adam knows what hes doing, educated, careful, ... everything youd want from a piercer. Its a perfect place for your kids to get their ears pierced for the first time. Its done right. I took off one star because of my experience. I had my nose repierced after it closed up in a few weeks so needed help reopening it. The same hole was used and didnt take much at all to reopen. The jewelry used was great but was extremely too big for my nose and would hang out of my nostril. The hole healed nicely BUT healed in a few days vs a few weeks. The experience was fine but I didnt quite understand why it costed me $80 with tip. In my opinion, it didnt need to cost that much. Using some common sense and generosity would mean repeat customers and referrals.

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!

Jim is excellent. I highly recommend him, and the rest of the team!

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

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

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.

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.

James did amazing work on my wifes tattoo. Its better than we had imagined..we will be back for more.

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.

Clean, friendly, accommodating. Adam was very patient with my daughter who wanted her ears pierced. He explained the process in a way that made sense to her.

Sacred heart tattoo studio is a fantastic place to get unique body art. Theyre very professional and friendly. Matt has listened to all my ideas and designed tattoos for me that are beautiful pieces of original art that Im proud to wear. I highly recommend this shop!

For as long as I live in the area and Matt owns this shop, I will be a customer. From the great communication to the excellent atmosphere, I recommend this art studio for everyone! I had a great experience here with Matt. I came in with work that I had done several years ago and was unhappy with. I spoke with Matt, we sat down and went over my likes and dislikes, I gave him some reference art and a few days later he had a rough draft drawn for a cover up. I just recently sat for my last sitting and the work is amazing. You can tell when someone had passion behind their work, and this studio does. On top of the excellent work that the studio puts out, it is a great place to go look for new artwork! When I go in to get more work done, the pictures and art around the store is always changing. It is nice to know that there is a local place, selling local art, with great customer service. I have been, and will continue to send my friends, family, and coworkers here for all their art and tattoo needs.

The staff are really laid back and adaptive to your schedule and needs. Adam does amazing work with his piercing and James is very down to earth with his tattoo work and design.

Ive been to Sacred Heart Studios 2x now and both times Ive had a great experience. I met the team at Thursdays on 1st and was impressed with both their artwork and how personable they all are. Jim Hores is my go to guy, but the dynamic Ive seen between all of the artists is laid-back, like youre hanging out with friends. Id recommend Jim, or Sacred Heart to anyone looking for fresh ink!

Came in for a piercing after seeing some of the tattoo work on my friends. Was a quick, clean, and well informed process. Will be going back again more than likely

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.

Love these guys. Mike is the best artist. He brings my visions to life in wonderful detail.

Excellent Great work The right touch healed quickly. Artwork is spot on. Great group of artists Matt is my artist and is always on the same page as me. Glad I found this shop. Recommend these guys always.

Absolutely a wonderful experience. I got both of my tattoos there. The tattoo artists really put you at ease and make you feel beyond comfortable. They did a stellar job on both my tattoos when it came to customization/personalization and just the extra added details. Nothing but a great experience, they make me want to get a million more tattoos with them!

Went in for a few quick piercings. Not only did we go in with a 3 year old and 7 year old with us, who were having a hard a time staying still, I almost passed out after having my industrial piercing, they handled it so incredibly well! They also had an immense amount of patience with the kids and helped entertain them. Highly recommend!

Excellent work..great conversation..will be back!
