We got both our tattoos done by Chris. Both of them were our first tattoos and he was able to do them both in the same day as our consultation.

Got a tattoo done by Chris on the back of the neck. He was gentle enough so that it actually didn't hurt as bad, and I have a relatively low pain tolerance, so that's impressive. Tattoo came out amazing, and he's honestly just a super chill/nice guy. Definitely will come back. 👍

I had the absolute best experience with Kay! It was my first tattoo so I was a little nervous at first but she did an amazing job at taking me through the process and helping me pick out how I wanted to do my tattoo. It really turned out exactly how I wanted it to so I definitely recommend!!

Could be talented but their utilization of A.I. to design flash and tattoos leave a lot to be desired There’s plenty of talented artists in Milwaukee that design their own tattoos

Ra did an incredible job on my tattoo. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming, comfortable, and genuinely good to be in, which honestly is not always my experience in spaces like that. You can feel the care and intention in the environment. What stood out to me most about Ra’s work is the depth…
