I went to an experienced artist multiple times at this shop for sleeve work. He did good work for me, So I trusted him to do a chest piece and he butchered it AND charged me full price. Now I have to go get it fixed somewhere else and go through the discomfort again. Unbelievable. I will never return. read more

I got this tattoo like 5 weeks ago at Serenity Ink. Ive been there before and they did great work. I got this for my dogs that passed, Wynter and Walter. Needless to say the tattoo artist Josef messed it up. I reached out and he said he can add lighter pigment but honestly after he's already ruined it I don't want him touching me. I asked for some type of compensation and he straight up said no. Fine, it is what it is. But DONT go to Serenity Tattoo and be done by Josef. read more

Serenity Ink Tattoos - Bad tattoo by Josef at Serenity Ink - Tattoo Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

A friend recommended Serenity Ink to me, so I looked into them as I had a few tattoos in mind that I've been wanting to get. Josef reached out to me shortly after, and we booked a session. I am SO glad I got to work with him. I felt comfortable from the moment I met him; he's a killer conversationalist. He did such a great job on my tattoo, truly a skilled artist. I can't wait for my next session, and look forward to working with Josef again and again. read more

I went March 8th for my tattoo from Myashley! She was super accommodating and super patient while we figured out where I wanted my tattoo. She made sure it looked good before she even started doing it. She has a great personality and made it fun the whole time I was there! Totally recommend her for any tattoo! read more

Aaron did this piece for me and I couldn't be happier. I gave him a concept rather than telling him what I want, as it seems pieces always come out better when you let the artist do their own vision. What he came up with was amazing. Getting the tattoo itself was smooth, and he was a cool guy to talk to. I highly recommend the shop, and Aaron specifically if you are looking for a super realistic tattoo. read more

Serenity Ink Tattoos - Leg Tat by Aaron - Tattoo Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Just got two tattoos done by Samantha Weeks. She's pretty good at doing watercolor tattoos. My wrist didn't come out exactly how I imagined, due to the fact that Sam told me to make sure I wash my tattoo because I work with children. I should have listened to my gut instead of following her care instructions. She had me paranoid that my tattoo would be infected due to the fact that I work with toddlers. I basically ended up wasting money and had to get a cover up after the fact. But aside from that, since my back tattoo turned out great, I wanted to get another watercolor tattoo from her. I already had an idea in mind, which I then emailed Sam about. Hadn't heard back from her at all, but then she posted on her Facebook that she had an opening if anyone was ready to get inked. I replied to her Facebook post asking her if she received my email because I was ready to take that spot. She then proceeded to send me a RUDE private message about how I will never ask her to check her email again. Excuse me? You're the one who wants to fill a spot so that you can make money and my Facebook comment was pretty friendly! She's quite arrogant and after that exchange, I vowed to never get a tattoo from her again. I blocked her and moved on. It's unfortunate that she's so good at what she does, because her attitude and personality leave a lot to be desired. Needless to say, she sucks. Update 2016: Since this experience they have gained a new artist named Jason. I decided to get a tattoo from him because he was a good price point and I liked his unique watercolor cartoon style. I received a tattoo from him. Jason is very friendly and he's pretty good. I like how my tattoo turned out. Unfortunately for me, Sam happened to be there during this time and of course she wasn't friendly at all. Jason obviously didn't know of our exchange, so he had her look at it. He was pretty pumped about it. She literally said that the only part she liked, were the clouds above my Whale. She's so rude. I had actually sent a few people to serenity ink to get some tattoos, but I have stopped. Not only will I never recommend them to anyone, but I'll actually convince people to go to other places. There are plenty of good tattoo artists who treat their customers with respect. And if you don't believe me, scroll down and click on the few comments that yelp didn't put through. You can still read them. And they further my point. read more

Overall a pleasant experience. I've gone for all but one tattoo and my last one I switched guys Aaron did the original outline, and spelling and I was not happy with it. When I notified him of the spelling error, he told me he was sick and I should've double chEcked it. What?! I went back to Jason, who's done most of mine and he cleaned up the lines and filled it in at no charge. Jason apologized for what happened. Aaron didn't. I'd recommend Jason's work any day. He's come up with some amazing pieces for me and is a really personable guy. Overall the shop is great, super clean, reasonably priced, just be sure to double check your spelling if you go with Aaron's work. read more

I had a good experience until Aaron Laid his hands and me and pushed and pulled me out for asking about my friends tattoo. I pointed out a shadow and asked if that's how it was supposed to be during a break period and he flipped a switch seriously was unprofessional and aggressive defiantly wouldn't recommend him read more

I got a great tattoo today by Sam Weeks! I walked in the shop and was greeted at the counter. I told him I was there to see Sam, and he told her right away. She came out to meet with me and we discussed my ideas and what she thought would work. She got the tattoo drawn up and we got started. She is super nice and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone who thinks they may feel out of place or intimidated going into a shop and getting a tattoo done. Everyone I encountered at Serenity Ink was friendly and professional! CHECK THEM OUT!!! read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. Recently went to get a consult with Sam Weeks who up front seemed plenty friendly, but through emails revealed to be money hungry and treats clients with no respect. I came in with reference photos and multiple pictures to emphasize what I wanted. I wanted a watercolor portrait of my dog which she insisted she could give me. She promised to have the sketch to me within a week, which didn't happen. Then emailed me saying I would get it that night, which also didn't happen. I didn't get a sketch until I requested it more than 4 days after her second time promising me I'd get it and only 3 days before my appointment. The drawing was horrendous. Neon colors so smashed in that the face of my dog wasn't even visible, one thing I made EXTREMELY clear (So much so that I watched her tap it into my appointment) was that I wanted my dogs brown eyes to be very visible, and yet you could barely see the outline of her eyes and she made them green. The sketch looked nothing like my dog and was not in the style I asked for. Upon realizing this I decided to go in a different direction with an artist I felt was better suited and more professional (As in wouldn't make me beg just to get the sketch of my tattoo). I told Sam this in an email explaining that I felt we were too far off base and with my appointment so close I really wasn't comfortable going through with it and pointed out that the drawing was not what I asked for, being nothing but respectful. To which Sam replied days later calling me rude and throwing a fit. She made a shitty drawing, made no effort to communicate with me through the process, ignored every request I had, and then insulted me for not liking her work. EXTREMELY unprofessional and not worth the money or time she makes you wait. $120 per hour compared to the $100 per hour far better artists ask for. $50 deposit for an awful unrecognizable sketch that was a week late and then having her insult me. Last place I would ever recommend someone getting something that will be on their body forever. Can't speak for other artists at this place, but Sam Weeks is not someone who should be tattooing or interacting with clients. read more

I have gotten tattoos since I could remember and I went to Serenity Tattoos once before some years ago to get a tribute tattoo for my mother that passed away. I really liked how it turned out, it wasn't perfect work but it was acceptable for a local business like themselves. I went back there not too long ago to get a tattoo and I had a drawn out picture of what I specifically wanted done. I don't know the name of the artist but he was a male. So after the tattooing I didn't like my results and when I came to the artist about my tattoo he was very rude and continued to charge me more than I was quoted from the start. after debating on whether or not he deserved the amount he was charging he made a deal, if I paid the amount I could come back later on in the week to get it fixed where I was unsatisfied since the day I came in was "a busy day." When I came back to get it fixed my tattoo looked worse than what it did before. I didn't even bother getting my money back and decided to just leave. Hopefully for me, I found an artist to cover the terrible work up. That's what I get for trusting a cheap lousey business like serenity tattoos. read more

I got a tattoo at Serenity Ink about 3 months ago and was hoping that in that time it would fade and settle in differently than it originally looked. The initial drawing and stencil was exactly what I wanted and beautifully done, but the final tattoo was disappointing. The outlines were similar so I didn't notice exactly what was different until it started healing, but there was so much shading on my actual tattoo that I realized I received the inverse image of the original design. While the original sketch/stencil was clean and mostly line work, most of the space outside those lines is now darkly colored in. This affected the overall image of what I wanted and was originally drawn. After 3 months of trying to live with it, I'm now unfortunately looking at getting the shading removed. All I can say is to be VERY CLEAR and constantly check about the shading you're getting. The artist is talented but got carried away with the shader, leaving me with a lot of extra time, work, and cost to get what I originally was designed. read more
