Beloved Studios

I have gotten two tattoos so far (and will be getting another one soon). The people there have been awesome. I went into the studio thinking I was going to have a simple design tattooed but learned really quickly that the people there are artists... Brandon didn't want to use an ordinary design-- he wanted a piece of art- something full of meaning and something that was significant to me. So, I was challenged to think deeper into what I wanted. Brandon drew it up and it was incredible. I have received complements everywhere I go-- It is truly a piece of artwork that I am proud to have. It brings a whole new perspective to having a tattoo. I would definitely recommend it... If you want something simple tattooed on your body, go somewhere else; but if you want a piece of art and something to be proud of, get the work done here.

Beloved Studios is home to a lot of talented artists. They're willing to work with you to make sure your vision is met or better than you could even think. Dan has done all my ink so far. I've let him know what I wanted and he came out with something better than I had even imagined in my head. Also does super sick new school / animation but definitely not limited to it

Beloved is hands down the best, they're absolutely amazing! I have received work from both Brandon and Dan over the last few years; they are both incredibly talented and passionate artists.
Back in 2010, I had finally worked up the courage to go into Beloved for a consultation. I'd been wanting a big back tattoo of wings for years and had thought long and hard about where I wanted to get that done. After doing a lot of research and hunting around online, Beloved was the winner by far. Brandon was receptive to my ideas and expanded my initial simple idea into a work of art. That's what I so appreciate about the artists at Beloved--you give them your ideas and give them room to play and you will get back something wonderful. He and Dan ended up collaborating on that first piece and tandem tattooed my back.Originally I had said just black and white because I couldn't think of what colors would look right. Dan and Brandon came up with a beautiful color palette that totally fits my personality. I still am amazed how much they nailed it. I feel like a walking masterpiece every day. I love how their individual styles are still noticeable but at the same time form a cohesive composition.
After the back piece, I had Dan expand it down my right arm in 2013. I constantly get asked if it's real, because people can't believe a tattoo can be so vivid and detailed. I'm just chomping at the bit to get my left arm inked too.
And now today, I had Dan do a small, simple butterfly, but he still put so much detail and care into it. No matter the size or design I always know Dan will do his best--there is nothing he considers too boring or simple.
You can get a tattoo almost anywhere these days...but if you want a work of art, go to Beloved.

I had searched for almost a year looking for a tattoo artist that did awesome portraits. My husband passed away last November and so I gave Travis a huge challenge. I wanted him to blend together my husbands face and his favorite spirit animal the wolf.

It was the first time he had this request and although a challenge he blew me out of the water when he finished. I can not recommend Travis enough. His work touched my heart and made a wonderful memorial tattoo.

Love you Travis!!!!!!!!

I went to Travis Daugherty at Beloved Studios for my first tattoo. I turned 30 this year and have been designing and planning tattoos for about 15 years, so it was really important for me to find an artist that could take my ideas and translate it into a true piece of art. Travis blew my expectations completely out of the water. I thought I liked my idea when I described it to Travis, but when Travis showed me his vision for the piece I was over the moon. I have quite a bit of work I hope to get done over the next few years, and I will absolutely be coming back to Travis for all of it. I can't recommend his work enough!

One of the best tattoo shops in the twin cities! All of the artists here are great , with some focused on line work and some on realism! Been following Benny for about 10 years now. Check out his work!

I did some extensive research on our local tattoo artists for my anticipated piece on my lower leg. For something that was going to be with me the rest of my life, I wanted the Best. This brought me to Beloved Studios and Brandon Heffron. I was able to give Brandon a vision of what I wanted and he was able to transform that vision into a walking work of Art, far expanding my expectations. Brandon was easy to work with, open to collaboration and oh so talented. The studio was clean and hip and everyone was nice. All in all it was a great experience, and I can't wait to for the next one. I strongly recommend Brandon and Beloved Studios.

Thanks,
James

Very professional and is doing a great job removing my tattoo. Super clean place, and provides realistic expectations.

First time getting a tattoo. I believe I would be hard pressed to find a better artist and studio for me than Travis at Beloved Studios. I was a nervous about going and from the first minute my consultation started through both sessions Travis made it an enjoyable experience. This speaks nothing of the amazing art he was able to create from my vague design idea of a skull with honeycomb background. I plan on going back.

This studio is great, everyone is friendly, and the interior is comfortable - music isn't blaring and there's plenty to look at in most parts. The other artists and support staff might randomly pop in to take a peek at the work, which is cool. I have no complaints except that's it's so close to the State Fairgrounds, but just plan accordingly and it's no issue!
