Gab did a fantastic job with my tattoos! I’m a 58 year old newbie - and she made me feel very comfortable. Not gonna lie, the top of my foot was uncomfortable. That was not a surprise. The wrist was just fine. She’s gentle and careful and a very talented artist! I’d highly recommend her.

Bee Tattoo is the best shop in the Twin Cities. The artists there are professional, clean, talented, and personable. I have been going here since the shop opened in 2018 and I've seen several of the artists here. Special shout out to Gab Yunis, who does beautiful work and is friendly and engaging.

Probably the best-worst experience ever. The artist was so sweet but she did a terrible job on my tattoo. I worked With Taylor Dees, who comes off as a total sweet heart and like she knows what she’s doing. To start, she’s crazy heavy handed and i got a long tattoo up my side. The outline looked as if a child had drew it. I could’ve drawn better lines and I’m not even an artist. Then we talked about more detail for the second session and literally she rushed right thru and even charged me EXTRA! She at least sent $100 back but I paid $400 for a tattoo she didn’t even do correctly. I asked For half back at least and she told me she’d do a touch up for free. Like seriously won’t be going back.

Got a tattoo by Gab last night. She was super nice and did a great job. I let her pick the colors and she did not disappoint! Can’t wait to uncover this bad boy! I was a little jumpy because a portion was near my shin but she did great working around it… can’t thank you enough!

Andrea has done one tattoo for me and it healed beautifully, when setting up my second appointment I had a family emergency and she was very understanding and helped me get a new appointment! Her work is clean and the colors still look beautiful now 9 months later, I’m so happy with her work and her professionalism. 100% the shop I recommend in the twin cities!

Bee Ink is amazing! All of the artist have unique styles, they're kind, and make you feel comfortable. I 100% recommend this shop and all the artist! (Just remember you have to make an appointment with them online. Going on their instagram's or Bee Ink website is helpful.) The shop is overall gorgeous and a great atmosphere. Definitely check these artist out!

Gab was very heavy handed, my tattoos are about a year in now and one of them is very bumpy and scarred. The other two are still raised and uneven. My tattoos were done in red ink, but compared to other tattoo shops I've been to, Bee Ink Tattoo's red ink is not pigmented at all and gets discolored/dark quick once it sets in. Was so excited to go to this place initially because the store's vibe and their work on social media all seemed great. So sucks that now I have multiple tattoos that I hate.

Love Andrea and her work. I love the appointment only vibe as well as how psychedelic the feel is. Go see them, they are a literal angel. They have many great artist working at this shop

Super chill vibe with a neat environment. Sandwiched between a high end salon and several art galleries, when you enter into the shop it is like you are traveling through a portal into a different time and place. The decor, music, and overall atmosphere are very unique to what a normal tattoo shop is like. High ceilings, warm color tones, and a friendly atmosphere will greet you as you walk in. The art you walk out with seems to be inspired by the same organic and welcoming environment. I think of very clean designs, crisp, and nature driven elements. Several of the artists have well rounded portfolios and all seem friendly. There’s certain to be something here for you to enjoy.

Honestly, I love this tattoo shop. The vibe inside is amazing, each artists station is so unique and yet fits right in with the whole shop. They are very safe, taking every precaution during COVID. Highly recommend Taylor Sue. She is very professional, kind, and made getting tattooed so much less painful by having some fun conversations with me :)
