In 1995 we started out in a two room space and as demand grew we expanded. Five locations and seven remodeling jobs later, we’ve finally found our niche and homes. We have three locations to serve you, so no matter where you are in Madison or if you are coming from the surrounding areas you are guaranteed to find the quality services we’re known for. Much thought and care went in to providing our clients with a personable and relaxed atmosphere, while also retaining a level of professionalism that is unmatched in our industry. Your safety is our priority; that is why when you visit any of our locations you will be greeted with a staff that works to maintain the highest level of training and excellence. All three locations are now custom only studios requiring appointments for tattoos. This enables the artist to turn your ideas and reference material into a one of a kind piece of art you would not only want to hang in your home, but you would want adorning your body forever. Instant gratification is just that: Instantly gratifying. That is not the way to go with a tattoo. We want you happy now, but we also want you to be impressed five years from now when you still love your tattoo. Patience is the key. Medals and trophies are not the true measure of quality or ability. Client satisfaction is. Over 250,000 people served cannot be wrong. Stick with the talent you can trust.
