  • About

    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.
