Best Tattoo Shops In Milwaukee

“Finding a tattoo artist as passionate as Jesse is rare. When I found Mania Tattoo I was instantly drawn to his designs - once I met Jesse and learned about his philosophy as a designer and his inspirations I was hooked. I am somewhat new to tattoos but hearing about Amund Dietzel and Milwaukee style tattoos - I’ve now have a new appreciation to what true tattoo art can be. Finding out that Amund Dietzel lived a mile away from my current home in Wauwatosa in the 30s (see the “Double Dietzel” picture) - made me love my tattoo even more. Go in and say hi to Jesse and learn more about his art and some Milwaukee tattoo history! It will be one of the most enjoyable tattoo sessions you will have! Can’t wait to go back!“

“I was in town for a wedding from California and Julio fit me into his schedule and absolutely killed it! Great tattoo and great conversation, thank you again man! If I'm in town again I will definitely swing by. I looked at the other artist work while I was there as well and saw only amazing talent keep it up guys ?“

“I had an amazing experience with the piercer Patricia. I went in to get my septum and my cheek dermal pierced. I was visibly nervous and she made me feel very comfortable. She didn’t have starter jewelry available for the septum (i went towards the end of the day) but i had my septum pierced years ago and she went out of her way to see if my hole was still open and it was! She gave me a small horseshoe which i originally wanted. Atomic piercers are hardcore, they study piercing and consider it an art, which it is. Please go to Patricia for your piercings, you will not be disappointed“

“Did a half sleeve for me in two sittings. Amazing dude and amazing artist. He’s done tattoos for multiple family members and Jeremy always delivers. Highly recommend! I’ll be coming back to finish the rest of my sleeve 1000%. I don’t trust anybody else. Jeremy is the goat.“

“Brent is Super knowledgeable and professional! We originally went in just to have my daughter’s nose jewelry removed after she got a bump. He explained the previous jewelry was too large and gave honest advice to let it heal first. We came back later and he re-pierced it with the proper jewelry — smooth, clean, and done right. You can tell he really knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend!“

“Got my first tattoo done here and the work was outstanding. My wife had a date added to hers. Trell is and excellent artist and has a chill environment where the time just flies by.“

“I had gotten my first tattoo on August 19,2025. I had it done by Julian. He did a great job. Everyone in the shop was very nice. I felt very comfortable there. Juian was very informative he told me to call.if I had any questions or concerns. I said I was only getting one and I now am thinking on maybe getting another one. I would definitely go back there and I would definitely have Julian do it. Thank you for a great experience. Jean Z.“

“Kelsey is amazing! The whole experience was fabulous and I love the end result. I've decided I don't want to go anywhere else for tattoos in the future.“

“I have three tattoos done by Izzy and I can’t recommend her enough. She is so professional and you can tell she puts so much thought into her work, I will definitely return soon for another Izzy Daisy tattoo!!!“

“I’m so glad I finally scheduled an appointment with her. She does an excellent job and wants to make sure you are completely satisfied with the end result. Thank you Melissa for giving me eyebrows I’m confident to walk around with.“

“I have been throwing around the idea of getting more ink for a while, hand-wringing over who to go to. I finally settled on Good Land based on friends recommendations. My guy was Ryan Friedel. I'm SOOOO happy with his work. Crisp lines, and really fantastic shading. I have to go back next week for more work, and plan on giving Ryan (or Ben/Mark) my business for years to come.“

“Joe is not only the absolute best artist in this game currently, but he is the most intelligent and trustworthy man ever to roam earth. A million stars always flawlessly remarkable treatment.“

“Payton did an amazing job! She designed my tattoo and was patient with me finding the perfect placement. Everyone there were very friendly and the shop has a nice atmosphere. I am so happy with my tattoo and will definitely go to Payton for my next!“

“My experience at Milwaukee Tattoo Society was very awesome. Shay is the best tattoo artist I met thus far and I been to many shops. She is very kind and she made my experience comfortable. I most definitely will be going back for more tattoos!!! Oh and it was a cover up. I can’t even tell it was a tattoo underneath…Thanks again Shay“

“I just got some new ink done. Sam was great. The artwork was wonderful. I'll be going back to get more work done“

“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!“

“I got exactly the tattoo I wanted from Greg. His shop was extremely clean and he was very easy to talk to. It is apparent that he loves what he does and takes great pride in doing a fabulous job. He is extremely knowledgeable and just an all around very nice person. I would highly recommend going to him for any of your tattoo needs!“

“Did a quick walk in appointment with Joe today. Everyone was really friendly and the shop has a really nice and relaxing vibe! Joe was great for the tattoo itself and it was quick and easy! I definitely recommend and will certainly be returning for future tats!“

“If I could leave more than 5 stars I absolutely would. Jon is excellent. I've had several tattoos done (age 74 NO PROBLEM) and he does a wonderful job. It is a pleasant experience. He is a really interesting guy and does great work! I'm leaving photos of 2 of my tattoos (so excellent). I'll write again when he has finished the next one. He is a brilliant artist, takes the time to listen to what you are trying to achieve and the end result is always great!“

“Jordan’s work speaks for itself — clean lines, perfect shading, and a true artist’s touch. She will take your vision and make it better than you imagined. Hands down one of the best artists I’ve ever been to.Jordan has done most of my tattoos, and I couldn’t be happier with every single one. She’s talented, professional, and easy to vibe with. I’ll definitely keep going to her for all my future pieces!“

“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!“

“I got tattoos done here by Miley!

I'm honestly sad I can only do 5 stars. Everyone I met was WONDERFUL!

The studio was clean and proper procedures were followed. My artist was considerate, helpful, talented, and listened to me.

I can't wait to go back for more! Highly recommend!

(Note: the facility and bathrooms are not accessible for people in wheelchairs.)“

“Tattoo is a Emmett of you of u bad of angel that tattoo will be you you fit it I do not care you are I am going to I am“

“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!“

“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!“
