Honey Wraith Tattoo Tattoo

“Tattoo artist Courtney was amazing. She designed and tattooed my arm and it turned out perfect. I was also given quality aftercare instructions. She was so nice too. I parked on the street (no meter) and am not sure if there's public parking lots available nearby. The shop was beautiful and clean, but there are steep stairs to get in the front door. I'm not sure if there is a separate wheelchair accessible entrance. All in all, though, I loved my experience and will definitely keep Honey Wraith Tattoo and Courtney in mind for future tattoos!“

Mike Davenport | Tattoo Artist in Milwaukee Tattoo

“I have now had multiple large pieces done by Mike. My first large half sleeve was a 6 hour sit and it went very well. The process itself wasn't painful and Mike's personality makes chatting throughout comfortable and makes the time pass faster. a few years later and my tattoo has barely faded and looks great still, the quality and artistry is fantastic. Looking forward to going back for the next part of the current sleeve I am working on.“

Samantha Weeks Tattoo Artist by appointment only Tattoo

“Amazing experience with Samantha.
The communication was easy, she understood my idea and worked with me during the appointment to make it fit my body.
She regularly checked in on my well being as well as some fine tuning on the tattoo.
I had a large session and a pretty big back piece, so this was much appreciated!

As a result, I couldn’t be happier with the result! It’s gorgeous and I would recommend Samantha any day!

Requested style: She was very adaptable to fit my requested style.

Specialties: Her watercolor skills are on point!“

Trust Tattoo and Body Piercings Tattoo

“Absolutely Outstanding Experience! Where do I even start? The time, care, and artistry that Trust Tattoo and Body Piercings put into their work are truly exceptional. The owner, Lebou, went above and beyond—he was not only incredibly accommodating but also the artist behind my tattoo. He worked with me to design it on the spot, all while managing a group of 25 people getting tattoos and piercings that same day! The vibe in the shop is amazing—loose, calm, and full of laughter—you never feel rushed, ignored, or out of place. Everyone makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. Despite the crowd, he never rushed, paid attention to every detail, and made sure the final piece was perfect. I’ve never been to a tattoo shop that shows this much passion and genuine care for its clients. I’ll be recommending Trust Tattoo to everyone I know—for both piercings and tattoos. They’ve earned a customer for life!“

Bay Street Tattoo Co. Tattoo

“Sheri was amazing! My friend and I went in together. She was getting her 3rd lobe piercing, and I was getting an inner conch piercing. Sheri took her time with us to explain how she would be doing the piercing, what the jewelry options were, and gave us multiple options for locations (she walked us through things like symmetrical placings vs. placings that would look best for the type of jewelry we would wear most) to make sure we were getting it in the best placement possible. She was so quick yet so gentle when it came time to do the actual piercing. The jewelry looks incredible (love a flat back!) and wasn't an additional cost. She guided us through the cleaning process and showed us a cleanser without pushing the product. She also told us about other options for cleansers in case we didn't want to buy it there. All in all, we were in and out super quickly without feeling like we were rushed. Sheri made us feel comfortable and confident that we were getting great service.

Take any review with a grain of salt, especially ones talking about the healing of their piercings. Piercings can be wild, and different people have different reactions depending on the piercing and how seriously they take the aftercare process. We were treated incredibly well, paid a great price, and were reassured we could return if we needed anything. All in all, Sheri is wonderful, and I will be back for more piercings!“
