The Story of Black N Blue Tattoo

---

I'm Sienna, I've been tattooing for a little over a year. Blacknblue was the first shop and only shop I ever walked into. I never left. I started my apprenticeship here at 19 years old in 2025 on April 24th. My dad did tattoos when I was younger so naturally I always wanted to do tattoos I never wanted to be a firefighter or an astronaut. I knew I was going to do tattoos from the day I was born. I scrapped every dollar I could to save up for an apprenticeship. I even donated plasma twice a week! I worked on my portfolio everyday in school(I failed a lot of classes but I graduated). I never went to any fancy art schools. I failed art in high school every year since 8th grade. Art has always been an outlet for me and the best way I can express myself. I not only got into tattoos because people without tattoos eat snickers upside down for texture not the taste but because I want to help people express themselves too. I love to do all kinds of tattoos. Anything and everything! Ask to see my portfolio!

I'm Cody, I've been tattooing for about 7 years. I'm the owner of Black n Blue tattoo. I started my apprenticeship under Greg when I opened the shop and learned how to run a business and tattoo at the same time. I specialize in realism and cover up but i will tattoo any style!

Im Greg. Ive been tattooing for 33 years. I started a 3 year apprenticeship at Seaside Tattoo in Spicer, MN in 1993 while i was going to school for Technical Art and Illustration. I worked as a graphic artist for almost 14 years when i left to open New Tribe Tattoo in Willmar, MN. I owned and operated New Tribe for almost 11 years. I shut down New Tribe and worked at Relentless Ink in Willmar for 3 years. I then took a 4 year hiatus and did other things before working at Black N Blue Tattoo. Ive been n gone a few times doing different things. I worked at Next Level Studio in Willmar for two years before leaving to drive a cement truck. After recovering from an accident, 7 broken ribs and a punctured lung, I came back to Black N Blue. Working in a street shop, Ive never limited myself to one single style. Im confident in traditional, fine line, black and gray, tribal and full color tattoos. As a graphic artist and tattooist, if you have an idea, i can come up with some cool shit for you.

I'm Jake I've been tattooing 6 years. All about my kids and my wife. Expierienced in many styles of tattooing. Love dark art, black and gray and color. Love realism, surrealism, trash polka, abstract styles of art
