The walls are coated in framed portraits, a mosaic of faces, vibrant flowers and eye-catching birds.
A pond brimming with Japanese koi bustles at the entrance, and a human skull is perched in the next room.
Near the back, past the cluster of crucifixes, is Sean Crofoot's station at Leviticus Tattoo & Piercing in Minneapolis, where Wild defenseman Matt Dumba comes to get inked.
"My mom really wanted me originally to have all my tattoos have meaning," Dumba said in the backroom of Leviticus while classic rock crooned in the background. "I've kind of gotten away from that a little bit as of late, but still I'm always thinking of tattoos. It's [a] never-ending cycle."
More than 50 drawings — Dumba isn't sure exactly how many — canvas his chest, back, arm, behind his ear and even on his foot.
As one sprawling constellation, these images tell a story, which is what Dumba loves. They depict where he's from, where he is now and where he hopes to be going, a road map that could also suggest which direction the Wild will veer.
Back on the ice after having the best season of his career abruptly cut short, the 25-year-old is returning with the potential to help the Wild regain relevance. The team, which without Dumba missed the playoffs for the first time in seven years, opens it season Thursday at Nashville.
One of the imprints he's trying to leave on hockey is the same one the Wild has yet to reach.
