When looking for a place to get my first large tattoo done at, I did hours of research before deciding on A Dead Anchor Tattoo. After looking at the artists' portfolios on the shop website, I filled out the straight-forward consult form provided and was put in contact with an artist named Brandon. I had already gotten two quality smaller tattoos done at a different shop in Madison before the first appointment at this shop and was hoping for a similar experience.
Getting tattooed at A Dead Anchor Tattoo was a wonderful experience. The shop was well organized with each station clean and sanitized before every session. Sitting on a chair for hours at a time while being tattooed could seem like forever but at this shop, the artists make it feel as though you've known each other forever and really make sure you understand everything going on while the tattooing takes place.
After three sessions, we were able to snap a picture of the finished piece and I was absolutely blown away by what it had become. Brandon is a phenomenal artist who knows how best to take your idea for a tattoo and create an astonishing piece of artwork. I would recommend this shop to anybody looking to get tattooed and would choose it again and again.
