INK Tattoo — Attraction in Superior

I had a botanical cover-up tattoo done by Abby a couple years ago that still brings me joy every time I see it. I got a small tattoo on my back in college (ironically also at a skip in Superior) that was an outward expression of an inside pain. It served its purpose for a long time, but I decided I wanted to turn it into a garden to commemorate my mom's birthday ten years after she died. So clearly, there was a lot of emotion going into this tattoo.

Abby did a phenomenal job taking the ideas I'd sent to her and assembling them into a cohesive design. We went over that design together on arrival, made a couple adjustments, and then she got to work.

I made it through about three and a half hours and was amazed to find that during that time, she'd done all the outlining and shading in the style I wanted. At the time, I wasn't sure if I wanted color and I was to the point where I needed a break (tattoos are pretty darn painful after all), so she wrapped up a few details and we called it a day.

I followed all the after care instructions and everything stayed beautiful and intact. I decided to keep it black for now, but at some point I may go back and add some color or extra line work.

But in the meantime, I've been super happy with the results. I'd go to Abby again in a heartbeat; she listened to what I wanted, the cover-up was 100% successful, she was super nice and professional, and did a fabulous job on something really...

I was excited when Abby started inking as she is a well loved artist in other media. After friends started sharing their custom pieces done by her, I saved up for what I felt would be a larger piece to cover an old tattoo I loathed. Abby did a much nicer job than I imagined! I kept getting stopped and asked about the piece as folks were impressed by the vivid colors and details that pop right out. Months later I lost a dear friend to cancer and then 2 of my beloved kitties to chronic illnesses 24 hours apart. I was devastated and was touched when Abby connected with me about getting my kitties done. She not only captured my sweet kitties, she had great ideas that also incorporated things about my late friend. The drive home to Minneapolis was bittersweet as my kitties were forever with me. A short time after the ink healed, banker stopped me to inquire about the tattoos; she spent 20 minutes with me crying over the significant meaning and sentiment they represent. I send others to Abby and...

I had extensive tattoo work before getting work done at Ink Superior and I can truly say Abby and Jill are two of the best artists I've ever worked with. They are professional, talented, and hilarious to boot. I have 4 tattoos from Abby, 2 of which were done when she was an apprentice, 1 cover up, and 1 new piece. Even as an apprentice, I was incredibly impressed with her gorgeous colorwork and attention to detail. My coverup turned out perfectly and you wouldn't even know there was anything there before. She has always taken my tattoo ideas and made them even better than I could have imagined! I have one tattoo by Jill (so far!) with a crazy amount of detail. Jill was able to merge 2 or 3 pictures into one tattoo and I get so many compliments on it. I will ONLY go to this shop. The drive up from the Cities is...
