McKenna S.

Brooke is AMAZING. I wasn't 100% about styling and placement of what I wanted, I just knew I wanted it to be dainty. I had no idea that it was even possible to get a tattoo this delicate with lines so thin, so I was unsure going in if I could actually get what I wanted. But Brooke proved me wrong and gave me exactly what I wanted - it's PERFECT and super delicate!! My next tat is definitely going to be back with her...best tattoo experience I've ever had!

Pineapple and Pear by Audra at Iron Quill.

I have been using the same tattoo artist in Milwaukee for about the last 3 years, but Audra at Iron Quill may be giving my guy a run for my money! I started looking at reviews and following some Madison area shops on Facebook, and a post from Iron Quill caught my eye. Audra is an apprentice and posted some drawings she had been doing of fruit and I knew she was the right gal for me! I have numerous tattoos of food, so I thought I'd add some more to my growing collection. The shop is super clean, the colors are really relaxing, and everyone was friendly as heck. I have been into shops where you literally felt unwelcome, and Iron Quill is the exact opposite. Everyone was chatting and being really nice while the tattoos were being done. I couldn't have asked for a better experience or a cuter tattoo! I'm totally going back To Audra for my next piece!

Designed by Jes. It turned out so beautiful!!

Great atmosphere, friendly people, talented artists--definitely a quality experience. The tattoo artists from Iron Quill do great work. I got my first tattoo done by Jes over the last month. I was nervous going in, but he was really nice and made the experience a good one. Jes has been tattooing for 12 years and knows how to design a truly flattering piece of art. I gave him some inspiration and trusted him to design the rest. This was a great way to do it. So glad I found Jes and Iron Quill. They will be my go-to for future tattoos!

Turtle by Joe A (tatgunjoe). I named him Seymour :^)

My first tattoo ever (yep even though I'm in my 30s...); been wanting one for a while but hadn't yet found the perfect place or come up with "the perfect design". A friend of mine and all the positive reviews really sold Iron Quill for me, and it didn't disappoint! I used the consult form, said "please pick my artist", and was paired with Joe Anderson - I couldn't have been more amazed with his design for my idea ("cute snapping turtle"). I get so many compliments (cuteness, colors, "looks real!", etc.). And I love working with an artist who knows what he's doing, is professional, and of course nonjudgmental. I'm in my 30s getting my first ink in probably not the most classy spot.. Not a tramp-stamp butt..... you get my drift. I was also amazed at how quickly and how well healing went, especially since the zone had to be covered with clothing. Through the session itself there wasn't a lot of pain, afterwards really no blood (just the plasma n stuff and not even much of that), not much pain at all in the aftermath, peeling around day 3-4, and I'd say it looked fully healed at 2 weeks. Superb!! One more note is that I was quoted for a 4 hour session that ended up going more like 5.5 because Joe really takes his time to do quality work (and I'm pretty sure this is also why the healing went so well). Of course I was only charged for the 4 hours, but going above and beyond like that when he likely just wanted to get home to his family really shows Joe's dedication to his art. I highly recommend him to anyone! In fact I think I want to come back for a manatee tat... Manatat?

This tattoo parlors has a clean atmosphere. The front desk staff was prompt and friendly. After some previous research, I was tattooed by Janelle. She did an amazing job on my nurse tattoo, and it is still my favorite piece.

Amazing peacock feather line art by Janelle with a subtle heart .
Aleeh S.

Janelle was amazing! Her design software was not working when I arrived, and she free handed a stunning design even more beautiful than I expcected! It was my first tattoo and she talked me through what to expect. As soon as I hopped out of the chair, I said I would be coming back and plan on it in the future. Thank you, Iron Quill!

Vintage knitting needle gauge trademark of the Patons and Baldwins Beehive, inked by Isaac Velasco #isaacsflyingmachines
Hansa P.

Hands (and Wrists) down, the BEST TATTOO EXPERIENCE EVER. This is the best shop I've ever had work done in, and I will now ONLY go to Iron Quill as long as Isaac Velasco is working there. #isaacsflyingmachines is the most talented artist, the sweetest guy, and the easiest to work with. He's super friendly, very professional and his work is very reasonably priced. He was very attentive during the tattoo and made sure I was comfortable. With my other tattoos, if people ask me about them I only think to talk about the tattoo itself. But with the work that Isaac did on me, I will be so proud to first talk about him and Iron Quill if anyone asks me about my tattoos. Also, Iron Quill Tattoo is a super clean, fun, large and yet intimate shop where I immediately felt comfortable. I absolutely can't wait for my next tattoo there. CAN. NOT. WAIT!!!!!

My most recent tattoo (chest) - an "organic" anatomical heart
Nicole H.

Travis Smith is, to put it plainly, completely amazing! His talent along with his easy, humble nature is a refreshing change from so many of the attitudes that exist in the tattooing world. He's a wonderful collaborator, a great listener, very creative and always open to ideas. His artistic skills are crazy good to the point that it verges on ridiculous (in a really great way). His color blending is insane! Seriously, it's like he's a painter, but with a tattoo machine in stead of a brush. He has incredible attention to detail as well which I really needed since both of my pieces required a great eye for detail. He's done a gorgeous half sleeve for me as well as an anatomical heart on my chest and in all honestly, I will likely never go to anyone else. He's seriously that good. So don't cheat yourself and certainly don't wait, go see Travis at Iron Quill pronto!

I might be bias but most bad ass turkey ever
Brian A.

Joe Anderson is rocking. He took my idea and went above and beyond. A turkey isn't the most common idea when it comes to tattoos and he made it look like its going to pop off my arm. Sat with him for several hours and he was nothing but a pleasure to be with. Will get more one of a kind pieces by him again.

Hey, how much does a tattoo cost?

Super vague question...depends on size/location/level of detail, I would imagine. They do a free consultation if you ask for it.

My experience here was disappointing…read more I made an appointment for a consultation for a laser treatment for sun spots, since I saw on the Total Body and Laser website that they advertised a specific laser I was interested in using. At the consultation the staff member informed me that they did not have the laser listed on their website, but instead have the Picosure laser. I asked whether Picosure was ablative or non-ablative and the staff member did not know. I went home and did my own research about the laser. I booked an appointment for sun spot treatment with Picosure. At the appointment, I was quoted $350 for treating the spots. I said okay and the staff member treated one spot on my face and a few on my legs. The treatment lasted under 15 minutes. Throughout the visit, there are many signs prompting customers to pay a gratuity. At checkout, I was prompted to pay a gratuity via the CC machine. I am happy to pay a gratuity for an hour long facial etc. However, the treatment lasted under 15 minutes and I was prompted to give a 30% tip, i.e. over $100 for 15 minutes. This strikes me as too much and out of line with the practice at other med spas. All this would have been fine if I would have had good results. However, it has been over two weeks since the appointment and there are absolutely zero results from the treatment. None. On their website it states that the "pigmented lesion will darken during treatment". This did not happen, nor has it happened since. I am assuming that either the staff member did not use the laser correctly or the laser was faulty. All in all a costly, disappointing, ineffective interaction.

Was contacted by them to say my appointment was cancelled due to staff illness (this is the second…read moretime this has occurred) and then received an email later stating that I missed my appointment and was going to be charged for 50% of the cost of service for missing my appointment. I have also been charged full price for all services as a new customer even when I signed up for 50% off services to all new customers. This company does not communicate well with their customers and will cancel appointments the day of and then blame their customers for not showing up. Stay away.

I was doing a $0 consultation and they wanted to have it in case I didn't show up. Well, needless to say, the consultation is for me to decide if I want to be a customer and I've decided your policy makes me NOT want to be a customer. Whilst I understand their policy, if you can't trust me to come when I say I am going to come - then I'll take my business to someone who trusts me as a customer!

She had given me some options with an estimation of how many treatments I would need and showed me a variety of results from other clientele. Given the cost...I was slightly hesitant so I waited a couple months to book it. They book about a month in advance. Ultimately, I got the genius RF microneedling done. While the procedure was painful to say the least even with the numbing...Rachel made me feel comfortable in going at a slower pace on some parts of my face. She had offered laughing gas as an option but I declined and endured the pain. Literally, I'm 4 days out since I had last it done. I peeled on my chin and nose area yesterday...but if I'm only this far out, and full results are expected in 8-12 weeks...I WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME ABOUT THIS PLACE EARLIER! They seriously do some magic here. A few days ago I went in to get some products (sunscreen and silver gel) which was recommended in the aftercare instructions and the lady at the desk who helped me was informative and very helpful. I didn't feel pressured at all in buying the products knowing I'd have to invest.
