Olde Town Tattoo Closes

According to a post on social media on Monday night, Olde Town Tattoo, which was located at 16 21st Ave SE in St. Cloud, is officially closed. The social media post goes on to thank its past customers, as well as let its followers know where they can find artists who were associated with the shop.

After nearly 20 years, we’ve made the tough decision to close Olde Town Tattoo. A HUGE thank you to all of the customers that have trusted us with their projects over the years! A very special thanks to all the artists that have worked with us over the years as well!

We’re all relocating to different shops in the area, though! Please reach out to your artist on their social media pages for info on their new homes.

Keep following this page, as we will continue running it from our other Tattoo Shop in downtown St. Cloud, The Widows Peak! Many of the Olde Town artists have landed at The Widows Peak, including Trevor, Benny, Scotty, and Tanya. Please feel free to reach out to them for appointments! Again, thank you!

Why Did The Shop Close?

It appears the closure had more to do with the landlord looking at selling the building the tattoo shop is in.
