I came in with a general idea of what I wanted, but I didnt know how to verbalize it. Morgan took her time to ensure that I got what I wanted. The first time I arrived to meet with her I asked her to make some changes to the drawing, and she was more than happy to go back to the drawing board to help me get what I wanted. When I returned I found that she drew exactly what I wanted, and it is gorgeous. The 4ish hours I spent in her chair for the first sitting were so easy and gentle. I have had other tattoos done and they were painful, but Morgan had such a gentle touch that I could have sat there all day. I cannot wait to go back and finish what she outlined. I would never hesitate to recommend her to my friends.Morgan finished my tattoo today, and again it was a pleasure working with her. Im so happy with the final result.

Morgan did an AMAZING job!! She has a true natural talent. She is absolutely my new artist. I am in love with the piece that she did and have gotten many compliments. You can tell she loves what she does so she pays very close attention to detail and it shows! I highly recommend her!

I have wanted to get my medusa pierced for a few years. Amie jae was very educated and kept me calm. She explained every step of the process. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to get extra holes in their body! Lip

We recently had my 7-year-old daughters ears pierced at Vishnu Bunny Tattoo & Piercing. Amie was amazing. She was extremely professional all while being very personable. She went out of her way to make my wife and I feel at ease and answered all of our questions before we were able to think of them ourselves! Most importantly she made my 7-year-old daughter feel extremely comfortable from start to finish. During the dry run trough without a sharp needle, she did such a great job that when it was time for the real thing my daughter didnt even want to hold my wife or my hand let alone sit with her.I know there are cheaper options for piercings but I would not entertain those options for 1 second now that we have experienced the great work Amie does. Plus the technique and equipment Amie uses are far superior compared to the piercing gun in the hands of an inexperienced mall employee who as well-meaning as they might be should not be putting holes in peoples bodies!If you are needing a piercing and especially if you are getting your first or have a child getting their first piercing I strongly recommend you contact Amie at Vishnu Bunny Tattoo & Piercing!

My wife and I came in to get her noise pierced. Amie was very kind and professional. She certainly knows her stuff and enjoys what she does! Highly recommend. Only thing I would change is that it was unknown to us that appointments were required. Other than that, would work with them again in a heartbeat.

The piercer was very nice and fun! The tattoo person didn’t seem terribly friendly when I asked about a retouch on a tattoo that got damaged to no fault of mine a few years ago.

Still waiting for my refund, the lack or professionalism here is staggering. Everytime I call I get postponed and told that my artist isnt in but will call me when she is. No response. She gave me her personal cell and I called and text her. Nothing. At this point Im completely unsatisfied and very annoyed. I will never be returning and will tell anyone who asks or even looks like a tattoo enthusiasts how vishnu bunny is infested with crooks they just want to take your money.

Review №22

Communicated with one of the artists about a tattoo cover up I was interested in. I sent pictures and was told I needed to purchase a $50 gift card to secure a booking and then send over the redemption code. I did that, all within 48 hours of initial communication on October 1st. I have since messaged and called and have yet to be scheduled, much less acknowledged. Conveniently the $50 deposit is non-refundable. Incredibly unprofessional and tacky to take money and not make a paying customer a priority.

Review №23

I have had several tattoos done at Vishnu....dating all the way back to 2002 and their old old location. The most recent piece I had done was with Simon in June and even though things were a little sideways because of COVID, it was a great experience. They are limiting the number of people allowed in the shop, even locking the doors to prevent walk-ins. Simons area was super clean and we had been in contact via email ahead of time to discuss what I wanted. Great experience and Simons artistry is even better.

Vishnu is a tattoo staple in Sioux Falls. Ive had several tattoos from this shop over the last 15+ years. From my first visit to my last - you know youre dealing with a shop that is original, creative, professional and one that truly cares about their clients and puts a lot of time and effort into giving back to the community as well. Amazing ownership, Management and Artists all in the heart of the city, downtown.

I called to make an appointment and was told I had an appointment the next day at 8pm. Ryan told me he had me and my friend on the calendar. He asked me to email him, which I did with no response. I messaged the shop on Facebook and did get a message back but only about he hadn’t received our email of the tattoo yet. We emailed again and called the shop multiple times. We had to get babysitter and showed up at the shop at 8 and he told us he never actually booked us and that he had booked someone else instead.

Of the places I have been, Vishnu Bunny and Dale are the best! I usually bring my own pic and give Dale the freedom to alter and improve. He has done amazing artistry and placement to enhance and tie all existing pieces together. Dale will be completing the rest of any and all work I want to have done in the future.

Asher did an amazing job! It being my first tattoo she made me feel very comfortable and confident in what I wanted. If you’re looking for a place that take what they do very seriously and listen to what you want, this is the place to go! These people are artists and they treat every tattoo like a piece of art.

Ive had 4 piercings done here. They were pretty expensive but the shop is very clean and overall a welcoming environment. My one complaint is that Eric is hard to get ahold of, you call and ask if he’s there and then 20 minutes later when you get there he isn’t there anymore.

I am changing my original review as the owner did reach out and made up for what originally happen. When an owner is willing to make a wrong they deserve a second chance. Mistakes happen and I am very happy for the way they tried to rectify what happened. Changed to 5 stars.

Solomon Carlson is my tattooist and my husband and I are always over the moon with his work! (He tattoos my husband also). Unique style and color combos make for something truly epic and unique. I have never had a problem with any of the staff. They are all professional and courteous. We plan to always go to Vishnu.

Salomon got me in 2 days in advance. Came up with a design close to my concept and offered new good advice. I love my new tat I just got yesterday. Will definitely be going back! The shop is very clean and friendly. As a side note-they dont tat minors, even with parental consent.

Review №58

I had a pretty good experience with a temporary traveling tattoo artist here. I got my tattoo done and it was my third. I messaged them online on their Facebook page to see if I could get in for the Toys for Tats sale and I got an immediate response from Ryan Porath who was temporarily working here. I made an appointment with him on a Saturday shortly after to get my tattoo drawn. He ended up turning me away when I arrived because of a scheduling mistake where another person and I got booked at the same time. He was very pleasant and apologetic about the situation which made it easier to reschedule instead of going elsewhere. We decided that I would send him all of my ideas and pictures and that he would draw it in his spare time and keep me updated to make sure it was what I wanted. The next appointment I had scheduled also got rescheduled because he messaged me and told me he thought the drawing wasnt quite finished and wanted to add more. After seeing the rough draft I agreed that I wanted more added and found out that we werent on the complete sam page with the layout of my tattoo. He apologized for that and said he would fix it and that he would see me at now the third appointment I scheduled. When I got to the appointment this final time he informed me that he still wasnt done with it and had me wait for almost 3 hours for him to finish it. Once he was done I was there for another 7-8 hours to do the tattoo. I am happy with how it turned out although I feel like some spots are done slightly sloppy. The tattoo itself took 6 hours to complete and he told me he wanted me to come back another time so that he could add white to highlight some areas and that he would do it for free. When I talked to him a week or two later to see when I could come in, he informed me that he was told so he couldnt do the additional work on my tattoo for free but that he could give me the Toys for Tats sale a second time. I told him that I couldnt afford to pay anymore since I paid already with all my savings. He said I could still get it done for free and that he would deal with it. We set a time for me to come in to get this done but I had to cancel. I havent heard from since and dont know if I trust going back. I feel good about the tattoo I have but not sure I am okay getting anything else done here. I havent heard the greatest things and didnt have the greatest experience myself.

Such an amazing environment, everyone there is any absolute joy! Ive received work from Johnny and Sierra and a piercing from Amie. Im in love with the work Ive gotten here and plan on getting more from every artist, and not to mention how active they are in the community and with 1st Fridays! I simply cant express how much I love this place!

Was told hours for Piercings on Sunday would be 4-8 last Monday, & confirmed twice over phone. Drove over an hour. :( Closed, and the guy actually leaves at 4, which thankfully whoever it was that unlocked their door let us know. Hopefully can leave a great review when my daughter and I can make it in another time/day.

Jeff is the Mann! He worked with me on the design of my arm piece to make sure it was 100% what I had imagined! He changed details and would ask about colors, symbols etc. to make a perfect piece. The shop is clean, comfortable and very welcoming. Cant recommend a better shop!

Review №71

I was originally so excited when I got a tattoo a year ago here. I heard it was a trusted place and the artist’s portfolios looked great. I had a lady who I asked to do a rose on my arm. I liked the piece originally and then noticed many novice mistakes - mainly because I saw her starting/finishing the sketch haphazardly before my appointment. It’s beyond the point of touch-ups and just looks messy. Then I asked her to do a cover up. I could tell she was nervous to do it but instead of advising me to go to someone who has more experience, she did it anyway. It ended up looking like a huge black blob (the only word I can find to describe it). I immediately left the building after paying and fell into tears. I’m into my 5th session of lazer removal and down so much money because of it. It makes me sad because I really think this is a great location and I understand that mistakes happen, but it just seems to continually be a disappointment - and one that changed my life. I’m embarrassed of my tattoos to the point I can no longer wear short sleeves and can only wear long sleeves to cover up the mess of my arm tattoos. Not sure if there’s much anyone can do now.

Review №72

All I can say is FREAKING AMAZING!!! I came here for my first tattoo and will never go ANYWHERE else!!! Getting your first tattoo is obviously a tad nerve racking but they made me feel so comfortable and walked me through everything. Dale did my first and kept me completely informed about everything having to do with my tattoo. Literally just got done getting my second tat from Johnny....and he is freaking awesome too! Everything about this place screams professional! Not only are they stellar at what they do, their customer service is fantastic and they completely connect with you on a personal level. I would recommend everyone here! You will not be dissapointed!

My boyfriend and I went to check out the artists and talk about getting another tattoo. However when we entered the shop no one greeted us. We were there for 20min looking at books waiting for someone to talk to. We saw an artist finishing up and two more wondering around so we figured “let’s give them a few minutes to catch up” however still nothing. A few minutes later a group of girls came in to look at jewelry and immediately they were greeted. I enjoyed the art bust customer service is terrible. Hope this doesn’t happen to everyone.

I had a poor experience when I first went in to discuss a piercing. I wrote a review about it and the head piercer contacted me and made things right. He was courteous and professional. I could not recommend Vishnu Bunny more highly. The quick response to my bad experience speaks to Vishnus expertise in their skill, and Vishnu experience!!!

Recently, my friend and I got messed up belly piercings at another piercing place so we went into Vishnu to talk to Erik about them and get his advice. He immediately told us to take the piercings out and that in 4 weeks we can come back to him and he’ll redo it for a discounted price. Customer service doesn’t get much better than that 🤩
