Grim River Tattoo, Dubuque IA

I cannot speak highly enough about Izzy. She has done a few pieces for me and I couldn’t be happier. Her work speaks for itself but on top of that she is easy to work with and just a chill person. I actually connected her with my wife and they are working on some things as well. I have the say the shop as a whole is a great place to do business with. All the employees are engaging and you can tell they all care about what they do. Definetly check them out if you are looking for a tattoo or piercing.

Such a comfortable and clean shop! Izzy is my favorite, but all of the artists are friendly and professional

I came in there with an idea of what I wanted and Katie came up with an amazing design that was better than I would have ever thought of. After about 6 weeks one of the colors wasn't quite right and Katie had me come back and she made it right. She is an amazing talent. I would recommend her and Grim River to anyone who wants a tattoo done. She really cares about her work. Thanks Katie

Katie dexter did an amazing job she was polite and very friendly, it was my first tattoo and she explained everything very well and professionally

Fantastic artwork and people! Go see Katie D! Cannot say enough about the skills, artistry, care, and level of details that Katie put into my tattoo! I love it! It symbolizes someone special and it means the world to me that Katie put HOURS of work into it! Thank you! Best tattoo ever!

Karl is an amazing artist! I've gotten a right arm sleeve, head tattoo, and chest tattoo done by Karl, and his work is amazing! He has solid line work and shading. I fully intend on getting any future work done by Karl!

Julia was very informative, professional, and made me feel comfortable and at ease ahead of/during/and after my piercing appointment. Highly recommend!

Julia is amazing! She walked me through every step of my piercing, while providing an extremely sterile environment. She made me feel comfortable and took care of me throughout my appointment. Thank you again Julia!

Got a forward helix and Medusa piercing, Julia did AMAZING at preparation, sterilization, and fully explaining everything. Definitely recommend.

Izz did fantastic work on my throat I definitely will go back and also definitely recommend booking an appointment with her

This was my first time at Grim River and the experience was wonderful. I got two fine-lined tattoos done by Izz, who was very welcoming, respectful, and professional throughout the entirety of the appointment. I was definitely nervous going in because it was my first tattoo, but she made me feel comfortable and at ease the whole time. Definitely looking forward to getting more work done by her!:)

I loved my piercer! She was so friendly and did an amazing job on my piercings! Totally recommend Julia for your piercings!

This was my first tattoo and Izzy was awesome to work with! I don’t have much experience with tattoos but she made it super easy and dealt with the scar she was tattooing over like a champ. I had a great experience and would definitely come back and get my second tattoo here!

Absolutely amazed by Karl’s work. I told him random things I wanted and he created a piece for my leg that I couldn’t possibly love more. He will tell you what works together - give advice. His detail is astounding! He helps you with the aftercare as well. I won’t go to anyone else anymore!
