What a great experience, if you are thinking about getting a tattoo i would highly recommend Starkweather. I had the pleasure of having Tara do my tattoo and couldn't be happier. She is focused and dedicated to making the piece that best it can. She explained the process from start to finished. I wont hesitate to schedule with her again if i am in the market for another one
I've been to a bunch of shops in the Madison area, this one feels like the right spot. I've been going since they opened, Andy has done both of my arms and a leg at this point, and Janelle did a large piece on my chest. Incredible work all around, everyone has always been kind, attentive and professional. I won't ever go anywhere else.
I will definitely be heading back to see Janelle for my next tattoo. She's top-notch at multiple styles, is incredibly knowledgeable about pop/alternative culture, and always has a crazy and/or hilarious story at the ready.
If you're itching for some fun and bold new ink and able to get to Madison booking with Janelle is absolutely worth it. The Midwest has some amazing tattoo artists, and it's my opinion that Janelle is at the top of that list.
The same goes for the Starkweather Tattoo Collective. I've grown familiar with many of their artists' work and they're all exceptional at their craft. The shop is always bright, friendly, and clean.
