Cactus Tattoo & Body Piercing - Tattoo shop in Mankato - 307 N Riverfront Dr, USA

Had appointments for myself and my mother in law to get our ears pierced. Brandon was the most caring and passionate piercer I have ever met! He took the time to thoroughly explain the process to us. Currently 3 days post piercing and I can’t even tell the piercings are there. On top of the hospitality, the attention to cleanliness and proper procedure was top notch. 12/10 looking forward to coming back for a piercing and even some tattoos!

I got my nose pierced by Brandon. He was very friendly, super knowledgeable, and really easy to ask questions to. Brandon took his time with me and I had a very pleasant overall experience. I will definitely be going back again for any other piercings I may get. Their prices really weren't too bad either. For the piercing, a hoop ring, and aftercare spray my total was $80 :)

I just got pierced today, and I genuinely had the best experience ever. Brandon was my piercer, and he did a PHENOMENAL JOB!! Everyone here was super chill, and I felt really comfortable there. I will absolutely be going back for future tattoos and piercings!!

Great experience!! Chris was great! I suggested Cactus Tattoo to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing. This is my 4th tattoo from them and had 1 piercing.

I was given my second lobe piercing by Brandon and it couldn’t have gone better. He was excellent at explaining the process and the care, very good at making me feel comfortable and aware of everything. 10/10 I’d go back to him for future piercings.

Was looking to get myself and my daughter pierced. Called and was able to get an appointment that worked for both of us. The piercer Brandon was very nice and knowledgeable. Provided an explanation of every step and what to expect. Great experience, and I will definitely return when I decide to get another one.

I came here in December 2020 to get my doubles and triples pierced and things went really well at the time, the piercer was great. Since then my ears have never fully healed and I have had constant keloids, irritation, and bleeding no matter what. Now in October 2023 I am finally wanting to get them removed, so I go to a different piercer in Iowa, where I now live, to get them removed and get new jewelry. My earrings are stuck shut, definitely because I have waited so long to take them out, but my ears are bleeding so badly that the piercer decides to stop (thank goodness) and says I need to go to the doctor to get them removed. The new piercer informs me that the original studs were too short and therefore my ears didn’t have room to swell during the healing process and began to become so irritated that my skin started to grow over my earrings. So PLEASE check with your piercer that they put long enough studs in and have more knowledge than whoever I had at Cactus.

Had a great experience with Karl! Got exactly what I wanted for a reasonable price. Friendly and fast. Will definitely be coming back for more tattoos.
