I highly recommend this shop! I found it to be very clean and the entire staff was friendly and professional. George was my artist. He immediately put me at ease and was patient with my last minute ideas. The process was fast, reasonably priced, AND I got a lolly:) Looking forward to providing future business!

Busy place staff was freindly clean looking environment but crazy that just to buy an earring you have to make an appointment I was not looking to get a peircing or even have them put it in all I was trying to do was buy a earring and could not do that or even look at the selection without making an appointment. Pretty crazy honestly. All good though we went down the road and got one from another shop

Ive had George take care of two of my tattoos, (forearm and chest) and Ive yet to be disappointed. Super helpful and understanding for your first go at it as well as helping to keep it looking great. Plus the shading work is extraordinary

Outstanding work from George and team.. very nice well set up place and reasonable prices. This was my first tattoo but will be back for another.. great place in a great location.

Walk-in to get my eyebrow redone. Katie is very knowledgeable, friendly and the best of all, extra clean. For a germophobe this is the best quality! Call and make an appointment.

Awesome shop, clean and the artist do amazing work!!!

I had visited a few tattoo shops prior to finding waukesha tattoo company. Barry Jaeger has been my go to tattoo artist at waukesha tattoo for the last 7 years. Profesional, comfortable and great work!

Chose this parlor for my 8 year olds first ear piercings because it was local, had a good number of reviews, and high quality commentary. We were not disappointed. Everyone was friendly and the parlor was clean and gorgeous in appearance. The piercer Katie was super nice to my daughter, very kid friendly, and explained everything she was doing. My daughter very much appreciated that. I have already recommended the parlor to others and will return for any additional piercing or tattoo work I will be needing.

Very nice place!! Katie was very nice, started conversations with me, and made me feel very comfortable.

Excellent place. They’re so friendly and professional. They make you feel welcome and are always so kind to answer any questions. I’ve got 3 tattoos from George and they all turned out great.

Best tattoo shop you can go to. Very clean, friendly, and professional tattoo shop. George’s work is awesome. I’ve heard so many great things about this place from others who have been here. I’ve gotten 3 tattoos from here and plan to get more. 5/5

Kelly is awesome. Staff was very nice and informative with all of my questions. Get your kids ears pierced here, don’t go to the mall.

My first tattoo and I love it. Christin was my artist and shes great. Goes the extra mile to accommodate you. Very clean. Highly recommended. I have several ideas in mind for my next one.

Everyone there is super nice and friendly! I had Sam do a large, upper arm, floral piece and she did amazing! I will definitely be coming back to her for all my tattoos in the future!! :)

My friend and I had an amazing experience with Samantha yesterday! From initial email to our appointment was fantastic! Samantha communicated promptly, made us feel so welcomed and our tattoos turned out amazing! The lady at the front desk was very nice as well. We will definitely recommend to anyone and we will definitely be back! Thank you Sam!

Ive been going to WTC for over a year working on a full sleeve. Have been working with Barry who does amazing work. Very clean and professional environment. I would highly recommend WTC.

Ive had 2 piercings by Kelly. Both were a great experience and would recomend. Ive never had a piercing done before and she was patient and explained everything before hand. The rook in the picture was just pierced and the earlobe is about 2 months old

Excellent staff, High quality tattoos

Ask for Kelly if you need any Piercings very friendly professional and she makes u feel comfortable.

Derek does awesome work!

I recently had an appointment with Leah- who I have been waiting over a year to see! Her work is phenomenal and her line work is so clean! She also has a great personality. She answered all of my dumb questions and was easy going on any changes I wanted with my design. I loved the space, it was most definitely more inviting than any other tattoo shop I’ve been too. They have snacks and drinks for you to keep your blood sugar up which is something every tattoo shop SHOULD have, but this is the first time I’ve seen! The staff was friendly and I’m excited to come back!

Katie was awesome! Piercing almost painless! Will definitely be back!

George just did my tattoo tonight and he went above my expectations. He was able to complete my tattoo in the estimated time, and he also personalized the artwork to appear more feminine. He was social and made me feel comfortable. The tattoo turned out amazing!

Love Kelly !! She is Awesome !!I had a Tragus piercing done this past Wednesday with Kelly & she was amazing!! She was so patient & comforting with my many questions. During the piercing process she talked me right through it & made me feel at ease. She was so informative. I had questions even after my appointment & Kelly got back to me right away with the information I was looking for.I cant say enough......I would recommend Kelly to anyone wanting a piercing done.Waukesha Tattoo was a Five Star experience! !The staff was very friendly and helpful.It was a very clean, professional atmosphere too! !

Sam is amazing! ️

I was super nervous to get my tattoo, but Christin was very calm and easy to work with. She listened to my concerns and talked me through my anxiety. While I was getting the tattoo, she was asking me about myself and I was asking about her. She is super friendly, and Id love to go back to have her do another tattoo!She did my tattoo first, and then she did my mums. She showed us how the tattoo would feel by doing a tap first, and then asking us how much it hurt. She offered to take breaks if it was too much for us. Honestly she is one of the best people around due to her artistic ability and her willingness to work with people who have high anxiety like me.

I didnt go to get a tattoo. The owner is an alumnus of Carroll College and supports a scholarship for current art students. Not only that, the perimeter of his establishment is arranged as an art gallery for students. What an amazingly generous fellow.

Leah is awesome. Ive gotten three tattoos from her and every one of them have been great. The staff here are great! I always feel welcome and comfortable when getting tattooed here.

I went in for a brief consultation for a tattoo from their artist Derek and he was unfriendly and showed terrible customer service. He did offer to sit down and draw out my tattoo ideas but merely looked at a picture or two and gave me no suggestions like I wanted. Since I have never gotten a tattoo before I had lots of questions to ask but he responded to all of them in a maximum of five words which made me feel like I was wasting his time. I left and I will find a new place to get my tattoo.

Very clean, very easy going. The artists there are awesome. Ill keep going back

My tattoos from this shop are amazing and look awesome. Derek and Barry (I havent had tattoos done by any other artists but theyre all nice) are great and everyone else that works there are way nice. The interior is cool and theres a lot to look at. If you want a great tattoo in an awesome building with talented artists and an awesome staff this is the place.

Awesome I love the ambiance, the decor and they have free root beer

Katie was great! She was friendly, professional and made getting piercing almost painless! Love the gallery and the atmosphere. Ill be back for sure!

I had a tattoo removal session with katie and it went really well. I had no side effects except some bruising which is normal. they were flexible with me and very friendly despite needing to reschedule 100 times. my tattoo is lifting already. highly recommend :)

Love this place and the staff is very friendly!

I have gotten tattoos from Derek and Barry and they turned amazing and they are both very nice and so are the other artists and piercers and the ladies that run the front desk. The interior is amazing. If you want an amazing tattoo this is the place to go.

Just got 2 tattoos done by Cristen and they look great!! I highly recommend her

Katie did a great job on my Septum Piercing today. Im planning on going back to get my tattoos finished.

Amazing experience & top of line artwork. If you are looking for your 1st tattoo or wanting to add additional ink you need to come to Waukesha Tattoo Company!

Good work Barry. Had Barry add to a tattoo he did for me 10 years ago. Fair price too.

I recently got a nurse pin-up tattoo by Barry. I chose him to do my pin-up after much research as he has many nicely done pin-ups posted to his online picture gallery. I am very happy with my tattoo and cant wait to show it off! :) I would definitely recommend Barry as a tattoo artist. He is very personable and makes you feel comfortable as well. Thanks again, Barry!

Been my go to peircing place, tried a few others but still came back. Kelly has been awesome when it comes questions

Great place. People there are extremely nice.

Great service & helpful. Charismatic as always!!

Loved Jen shes sooooooooooo cool !

Ive had great experiences with the piercers at this shop. Kelly did my forward helix flawlessly, and when I had to get them removed, Katie was helpful and easy to talk to. I really enjoyed my interactions with both of them, and highly recommend their services.Ive heard raving reviews about the artists here, and I love their artwork, but Ive had lesser experiences with them. For instance, I had a consultation appointment with one of the artists, and I felt like it went well. But then I never heard back in terms of design ideas or setting up an actual appointment. I would have appreciated better communication here, even if the artist had wanted to reject doing my tattoo.Overall, its worth your consideration for either piercings or tattoos. Their rates are reasonable and most of the staff is easy to socialize with. The interior decoration is reason enough to visit!

Christin did a tattoo on me and it turned out beautiful! She is an amazing artist.

You have to make an apointment to purchase jewelry in their show case. But thry are friendly and do a good job on oiercings snd tattoos. Just think you shouldnt have to make an appointment just to purchase jewelry.

Because the place is clean, the artist Christin is great, and overall the folks are nice and polite.

I had my ears pierced with a 10ga by Katie and I have to say it was super quick and easy. Not that I didnt think it would be but she was in and out in no time at all. Definitely going back for her to gauge them.

My daughter had her nose pierced, nice staff, clean place, resonable prices.

Great work very professional. Definitely will go back.

Great experience working with Derek!! Comfortable environment, personable, talented artist! I would encourage others to consider this quality tattoo Artist!!

I love the environment and working with the awesome artists has been a wonderful experience each time Ive come.

I got a nose piercing on Saturday and they seemed really knowledgable. I wasn’t happy because they only do corkscrew which I’m not a fan of because it is a lot harder to get out and it’s more of a one size fits all. I went back to Chicago (where I live) and because the stud was small and my nose started swelling badly the stud sunk down into my skin. When I called they said they didn’t have anyone who could talk me through getting it out and someone SHOULD follow up tomorrow. Since it was a new face piercing it would close by then, I told them that they need to have someone call me ASAP. The girl that called was not helpful, and told me to come back in even after I told her that I don’t live there. She tried to blame it on me and said there was nothing they could do and hung up. I can’t recommend going to them for a piercing that is over $75 because of this.

Love the place, have great movies on and great artist working. Barry was amazing even though I was moving around a bit, everyone makes you feel comfortable and welcomed! Definitely a great place! Not a bad thing to say about Waukesha tattoo company!

I went in for a consultation with Barry this week with a tattoo design drawn up and ideas set in stone and needless to say I will not be returning. He didn’t even take the time to sit down and discuss my design, we stood in the waiting area and it only lasted for a good 3 minutes. Not personable or helpful at all. Be prepared to wait months for an appointment and for an expensive cost. Now getting it done within 3 days of talking with the artist at another well known place for cheaper and in one session.

Barry does an amazing job, great atmosphere!

It was an okay visit, everyone was kind. it was professional enough, but they did not give clear instructions on changing the piercing. my girlfriend had to get her nose re pierced and it seemed to hurt a significant amount more at this shop.

I got my first tattoo done in May by Barry. It was my longest tattoo so far, 3 hours. The studio was really cool and has a great atmosphere. Like always it was chilly, so dress warm in there. My time with Barry was great because he was conversational and has some really cool stories and items in his part of the studio. I would definitely recommend his work and Id go back to him.My only heads up is that theyre super busy! I booked my appt. in march and had to wait til may to get it done. Get in for a consultation asap once you know what you want!

The staff were great, my daughter was very scared to get her ears pierced, but they walked her through it amd were super patient with her

Always very professional. Great customer service. True artists. George is awesome!

We had an AMAZING experience here. My daughter got her ears pierced, she is 4. Everything was clearly explained so she could understand. Very professional and clean. I highly recommend them.

Love the art on the walls, clean atmosphere,a dthe new art on my body, thanks Waukesha Tattoo Company!

There was a wait because they didnt realize we had checked in but this was not a problem at all. He even shaved off $40 from my tattoo for it. The work that George did an absolutely amazing job on my tattoo, and I get so many compliments. I also got my nose pierced here. The place is incredibly nice and I would suggest it to anyone who wants to get a detailed tat by some incredibly skilled professionals.

Clean, professional, and a great environment. Christin did an awesome job!

Kelly was not friendly at all when I got my navel pierced. I asked for a countdown to when she was going to pierce my skin, and she didnt. She was also on her lunch break during my appointment, so I had to wait 45 minutes for her to return. Mallory was 50 minutes late and smelled like cigarette smoke. It was a Saturday morning. Im pretty sure she was hungover.... She majorly rushed my tattoo, and I feel tricked by her portfolio. It was my first tat and a terrible experience. She said she would take money off the tat for being so late (obviously she overslept), but she didnt. Two strikes youre out in this case. Wont be returning. The man at the front desk is also rude and unfriendly and let us sit waiting for 45 minutes before we asked where Mallory was, and he said she overslept. Thanks for letting us know.... Very unprofessional employees all around.

Great place for tattoos, piercings and any other needs related to tattoos and piercings. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

Great place for a tattoo! Great people, who are excellent artists!

I just got my first tattoo here by Leah and I absolutely love it. The shop is extremely clean and welcoming, the artists are friendly, and Leah took great care to make sure the placement was exactly where I wanted it to be before she began. The lettering is clean, precise, and looks fantastic. I have already recommended this shop to friends, and will definitely be coming back to get more done. Thank you for making my first tattoo experience excellent.

I went in for a piercing without an appointment when Brandi was there. She was extremely professional and made conversation, made me feel comfortable. I like that they have movies playing to distract you (not sure if this is all the time, but they had one going on that day). The price was a little more expensive than other places in the area, but not by too much. It was worth it in the end - I cannot say the piercings wouldve turned out as nicely as they did if I had gone someplace else.

While my piercing was done well, I felt even with an appointment I waited forever and it is incredibly overpriced compared to every other place Ive gone to. Also, the piercer was not friendly at all. She was rude to my friend who came with me and she hardly said 2 words to me. The receptionist is so kind t though.

Got 2 tattoos here, never had any issue with George. Great guy to work with. More on the quiet side but still a fantastic professional company.

Got my tragus pierced today. Less painful and i love it!

I was very happy with Waukesha tattoo. They were very professional friendly and very well organized. Ive had two tattoos there. Very happy with the results.

We had a great experience on our first visit to Waukesha Tattoo!! Christin is AMAZING!! We will be back! Thanks!

Waukesha tattoo company is a great place,great atmosphere,I love the movies.Christin has done all my artwork.

Had a great experience with Christin. Tattoo looks great, will be back :)

Friends and myself had tattoos scheduled with Derek. I have not been happier with a black-only tattoo and this is my fourth tattoo shop to visit. Will definitely go back just for Derek. His artistic style and humor was great to have. Clean and entertaining staff. TVs at each tattoo booth.

Katie did an awesome job!

I got my rook pierced at Waukesha Tattoo today. Kelly was rather unfriendly and didnt talk at all. I tried to strike up conversation with her and she didnt respond at all. I was expecting a painful piercing and thats exactly what I got. She began the piercing and had difficulty getting the earring all the way through the hole. She fidgeted with it for a few minutes trying to force it through the hole with no luck. After about 4 minutes, I thought she had successfully gotten it in. However, she took off her gloves and proceeded to ask me if it was okay that she re-pierce it. I was pretty unsure about it considering how much pain I was already in and the fact that she failed the first time. She got it right away but I have a super bloody ear due to the fact that I have an open bottom hole because she had to make a new one. I wouldnt recommend going here for a piercing. I was also charged a full $50 after the screw up.

Only speaking from the piercing aspect of this shop... needed new jewelry for two cartilage piercings and for a piercer to insert them. Made an appointment (havent had to do that at other shops), the piercer was at least 45 min late, apologized to the person waiting after me when she came to get me (?)....appt was over 30 min of getting an existing piece of jewelry out and the new jewelry in, plus another piece of jewelry inserted in an already pierced spot. After a day, one of the studs fell out. I let it go because that part of my ear had been irritated and I figured the slight swelling may have prevented her from tightening the ball all the way. Then, a week later, the ball from my second stud falls out. That piercing was not irritated/swollen at all, so I dont see any reason why the ball wouldnt have been tightened enough. Ive never had a ball from a stud fall out so quick, let alone two. The piercer asked where I got one of them done as it was an odd angle, although I have had the jewelry changed on that location before with no difficulty... In my experience, it usually takes at least year (usually two) for a ball to loosen on its own.End of story is, spent more time waiting then if I wouldve done a walk-in somewhere else, $40 total wasted from the jewelry I bought plus insertion fee, and got a vibe the piercer was annoyed the whole time...... Ive bought jewelry here once before and had a good experience, this time the lady mentioned she was covering for the usual piercer who was out on maternity leave..I dont usually make reviews, let alone negative ones, but I guess I am disappointed because tattoo/piercing shops dont offer returns of any kind so I feel screwed out of $40. Lesson learned, make sure you know about the piercer you are seeing or go to a place youve had consistent results with.

Barry was amazing! Great artist, we had great conversaions... I highly recommend!

I just got my 5th tattoo and couldnt be more pleased, every idea I bring to derek he goes above and beyond my expectations and the results speak for themselves. Thank you again derek and waukesha tattoo company for anotherGreat tattoo I will be back in the near future. Great shop, friendly staff and a very talented artist and for that I thank you.

Didnt care for the nazi political paintings smashing trump all over the place. I went to look at tattoos not left wing political views. Seemed childish

Ive come up from Texas twice to get tattooed by Leah. Shes so talented and great to work with. Awesome drawings, better tattoos. Best dot work shading out there. Beata is amazing too! We love yall!

Great place! I love the art gallery as well!

I got my nose pierced here a few days ago. It barely hurt and was a really great experience. Kelly made me feel very comfortable and made me laugh right before she pierced me! Such a cool location, too, and I loved the gallery!

I got my nose pierced and am excited to get a tattoo touched up....the procedure was well explained and thorough great place

Friendly staff. Would recommend.

Today (8/15/15) I made an appointment with Kelly to get a nostril piercing, I was able to get in within the hour and the woman working the phones and appointments was efficient and friendly. I arrived a few minutes early to fill out paperwork (quick). The staff was friendly and accommodating, Kelly came to get my at our allotted time. The kicker is, though Im terribly afraid of needles, Ive had more then ten piercings; it is an odd thing to want piercings when you are so terrified of needles, but I am sure Im not alone in this bizarre coupling of desire and fear. Nonetheless, Kelly is incredibly kind and patient, she is full of positive life and energy that puts the person being pierced at ease. Thank you Kelly for a wonderful experience, and thank you Waukesha Tattoo Company for supporting her service.I have also now been pierced by Katie, 2 nostrils and 2 facial dermals, she is also incredible. She is efficient and kind, and most importantly a capable artist that takes great pride in her work. I never have issues with placement, or aftercare. Katies work area and sanitation practices are pristine. Thanks for the continued good service Waukesha Tattoo Company.

Professional and quick to help

Barry is an absolute artist! This was my first tattoo, he made it very comfortable, talked me through the process and the end result was amazing. I am hooked and will be back for more. 5 stars hands down!

Went here to see George and get the next phase of my tattoo done.Excellent workFriendly staffRelaxed atmosphere.Highly recommended.

Got my first tattoo done three years ago by George and my second tattoo done by Leah two years ago. Both are pretty simple, but great. George and Leah we both very friendly and helpful. WTC was very accommodating on getting me in right away for my second tattoo, even though they were pretty booked up with appointments. Im looking at getting another tattoo soon and hoping to sit down with one of the artists at WTC and plan it out. This place is clean, cool, professional, and the staff is great. I would definitely recommend it!

I came to Waukesha tattoo company in April to get a semicolon tattoo done by Goerge and it turned out great! The shop is very clean staff and artists are very respectful and very professional. I have a consultation with Goerge tomorrow and I cant wait to get another tattoo here. I HIGHLY recommend this tattoo shop

I have been to a few different tattoo shops and I have to say this is the one for me! The staff is professional and fun! The shop itself is full of beautiful art and prices are fair. Most importantly the artists are amazing!

Another great tattoo experience from Barry. Had some concerns around my initial design and he drew up everything I wanted. Got to watch Spaceballs during the process too! Very good price as well. Thanks Barry, couldnt be happier!!

Everyone is super nice and caring! Beautiful art and a very sanitary facility.

Awesome place, very chill and relaxing.Everyone I met was friendly and was in good spirits.Got work done by Leah B, highly recommend going to her. Very professional and very friendly.
