555 Studios
555 Studios opened in December of 2004 at the original East Lake street place. In the spring of 2006, the present location on Minnehaha was secured. In March 2007 the Lake Street site closed its doors and all operations were transferred to 3965 Minnehaha. Through the years the customer base has grown, and the studio has transformed its look both inside and out, but the one constant has been the approach to custom tattoos and design. From the start, the goal has always been to engage clients in the design and drawing phase of the tattoo process.

“Tommy is not only an amazing tattoo artist but a super cool guy. I was referred to him by a friend and am so glad I went. He worked up the design with me in person and did a fantastic job. I felt that the prices were very reasonable as well. I moved out of state, but want to come back to him for all my future pieces as well!” – Abby J.

“We had been calling around for a place to get a tattoo done on short notice. We had been recommended Timeless Tattoo by another shop, and sure enough, were asked to come in. Our artist was Jessica and she was very easy to talk to and work with. She was very helpful and was so open to changes with our tattoos. We had an amazing time and the resulting work was a great reflection of that experience. We hope to come back sometime soon!” – Andrew S.
