Why Skinlab

Do it right the first time.

Professional piercing

Picking the right shop can be difficult, but getting it right the first time can save you from the problems that come from simply wanting it done quickly. Skinlab provides a safe and sterile place for adults and teens to be pierced by skilled and licensed body piercers.

Our knowledgeable staff has the experience and know-how to help you enjoy and show off your piercing for years to come. When you walk through our doors, you will find a clean, spacious, sterile and mom-friendly environment.

Original tattoo work

Our staff members are selected for their unique personal art styles, commitment and dedication. We have gone above and beyond Minnesota Department of Health requirements in our procedures, including before tattoo licensing existed in Minnesota.

Everything is drawn for you. Skinlab does not use flash art. Bring us a design or idea and let the artist develop an original piece instead of choosing a cookie-cutter image that has been placed on hundreds of people.
