Happily Ever After Tattoos was established by Brian and Tonya Qualley in Harris, MN in 1998.
The vision was, and still is, to bring a wide variety of tattoo possibilities to the area. To have thousands of pre drawn images to choose from as well as have easy access to an artist who can design one just for you. We want you to get the tattoo you want and get it in a clean, safe, and positive environment.
We guarantee our work and are the oldest tattoo shop in the tri county area as well as life long residents of Harris, so you know we are going to be here for you.
We use state of the art equipment and sterilization. We also offer body piercing with a full line of jewelry.
We are proud members in good standing of the C.T.A. (Christian Tattoo Association), the N.T.A. (National Tattoo Association), and the A.P.T. (Alliance of Professional Tattooist). The A.P.T. requires us to be tested and certified every 2 years. Check out safe-tattoos.com.
Brian Qualley, the owner, has been tattooing in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area since 1986 with no health code violations or problems of any kind. Our reputation and record speak for themselves so you need not worry about the health and well being of you and yours. You won’t find a cleaner, friendlier, or more positive atmosphere in any other tattoo shop.
We have several artists to choose from each with his own style. Please check out our bios and galleries. You can call for an appointment or consultation or take a chance and stop in. We do take walk ins when we have time. You never need an appointment for a piercing.
We are easy to find just off I-35 in Harris.
Whether a tattoo artist or tattoo enthusiast, we thing of our art as permanent - an everlasting mark that time may somewhat fade, but never completely remove. It's one of the most permanent alterations we can make in the flesh… but what about the spirit? What about ink that is eternal?
Imagine… eternal ink. An ink so rare, you would sell all you own to obtain it. But it can't be bought. It's not for sale. Yet you can posses it because it is freely given.
I was made available nearly 2000 years ago when Jesus Christ was nailed to a cross on Calvary. The innocent blood that was shed on that cross paid for your eternal ink - your name - indelibly written in the palm of God's own hand!
Eternal ink is a sworn covenant, written in Hold blood. And it's free It has to be free because you can't be good enough to deserve the Master Tattooist's ink… nor can you be bad enough to be denied His work.
Now God doesn't do cover-ups. He only inks a clean canvas. Yes, He knows you are all marked up with bad ink and bad works that have condemned your spirit and scarred your soul. But through the miracle of rebirth, God's forgiveness will wash away all your sin, all the bad ink of your life. Then perfect loves will guide His hand as He recreates the lines and colors of your very being into a righteous work of living art in His image.
The Artist of the Universe loves you. Just as you are. Right now. His grace opens the door. His mercy invites you in. And His Son already paid your bill!
If you haven't met the Master Tattooist, you can. God does have an appointed time for you, but He doesn't take appointments. God takes walk-ins. All walk-ins. He's available right now. No waiting. No excuses. Just open your heart and enter…
His eternal ink is very real. It's a free gift, but only available through one source… the blood of Jesus. Salvation, your eternal ink, is so simple. God has already done all the work. You need only to ask and receive. But the choice to be inked is yours. Yours alone.
His Word says that today is the day of salvation. Today is your day to choose. God said, Today I place before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life. Enter his studio and pray…
God, I know I've messed up the canvas of my life. I've marked it up with sin… bad ink and bad choices. I ask for your forgiveness. Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and that you live today to deliver me and set me free. Come into my heart and be my Lord and my Savior. Cleanse me, restore me and heal me. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Feed me with your Word. Teach me to live by faith and empower me to serve. In your name I pray, Jesus... amen.
Welcome to God's forever family! The choice you just made has changed your life permanently. Eternally! Your canvas has been washed clean. All things have become new. Your spirit has been, reborn, recreated in Christ!
Thank Him! Give God praise! Tell someone about what has happened to you and the get ready… expect God's best. He has some awesome art planned for you! His hand is gentle. His lines are true. His colors are brilliant. And his work is indeed most excellent!
Get hold of a Bible and read the Master's after-care interactions. The Gospel of John is a good place to start. Read in His Word daily. And pray to your Father. Talk to Him… and listen.
