The Canvas Tattoo Studio
Tattoo Shop in Prior Lake, MN
Jerome “JJ” James started Canvas Tattoo & Piercing Studio in July 2005, making it the first tattoo shop to open within the city limits of Prior Lake, MN. In 2008, he teamed up with his brother Leroy Jones and opened a second studio in Eden Prairie. It was also the city’s first local tattoo shop.
JJ saw that locals had stereotyped people with tattoos as bad people. He wanted to shift their perspective and highlight the artistry and expression behind creating and getting tattoos. In reality, people get tattooed for different reasons. Whether it’s to memorialize a late loved one or celebrate overcoming a rough patch, getting inked is simply a way to express oneself.
Now, JJ runs two tattoo and piercing shops with rosters of gifted tattoo artists. From black and gray biomechanical art to portraits and full-color pieces, our artists are masters of diverse styles and custom designs. We also have body piercing artists specializing in both simple and complicated piercings.
We keep a clean and comfortable environment with friendly and inviting staff, giving you the feeling of home. Our team takes great pride in maintaining high service standards and ensuring that each client enjoys a relaxing experience.
