I had such an AMAZING experience at Nickel and Brass Tattoo. My artist was Rachel, and she did a wonderful job guiding me through the whole experience. This was my very first tattoo, and she made me feel so safe and welcomed. I sent Rachel an idea of what I wanted to get, and she mirrored the image. ai absolutely love it! She did a wonderful job, and I will for sure be back to see her.

I decided I wanted a tattoo of my dog Porter who died of cancer recently. Rachel was the artist who did my tattoo. I sent her many photos and she drew up some ideas based on the style I wanted. The day of she had many good drawings and edited them to my liking. The process was very smooth and easy. The tattoo turned out great! We talked while she did the tattoo which I appreciated as I was very nervous (only my second tattoo). Very friendly and caring people. Overall I had a great experience and the tattoo was great! They also had very clear aftercare directions! Thank you Rachel for giving me a piece of Porter than I can keep forever.

Brett has done almost all of my tattoos and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences at Nickel and Brass Tattoo Collective. I am always greeted with a welcoming energy that allows me to feel comfortable during my appointment. Brett and Nick are both incredibly approachable and friendly, which makes appointments much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tattoo shop for anybody looking for a high-quality experience!!

This tattoo has been one I wanted to get for years, but I was nervous that no one would do it justice. It’s my little sisters handwriting, so it’s super important to me. Brett did an amazing job and I couldn’t have asked for better. I was nervous for a rib tattoo, but he was very reassuring the whole time. He also let me know what he was doing which was helpful. The process was quick, easy, and professional. I’m so happy with how it turned out and it healed great!

I had my first tattoo done today by Brett. He is such a kind, welcoming, and fun guy to work with! I invited my mom to come with me, Brett made great conversation with both of us! He responds immediately to all my questions and is very honest! I was terrified of the needles but Brett made me feel very relaxed and safe the entire process! Definitely recommend anyone and everyone to him! My mom and I will be going back (when we are ready and know what we want) to get matching tattoos by him!

My mom, friend, and I all went to get tattoos. First, the shop is really nice, clean, and well decorated. My mom and I got matching from Rachael, and my friend got a separate design from Sunny. The quality was great on each. I also really love how they have you sign your name on the pillars. A special touch. Will definitely be back!

Had tattoos done by both Brett and Nicolas. Both did great work and were very professional and prompt with responding to booking. Shop is very clean and professional as well. As someone who mainly books with a certain artist, I was very impressed by the work of both guys. I had three horror masks done by Nicolas which are very clean and the shading is phenomenal. I had small wording on the back of my neck by Brett which is very clean and the booking process was quick. I would recommend this shop and artists for sure!

As soon as someone tells me they’re thinking about getting a tattoo, I immediately tell them that they should go to Nickel & Brass. Brett has done almost all of my tattoos and his work always exceeds what I initially envision. Rachel has done my last small trio of tattoos and absolutely nailed them. I would never not recommend Nickel & Brass - it’s clean, the artists are incredible and personable, and the atmosphere is 🔥.

My best friend surprised me with a tattoo for my birthday. We arrived at Nickel and Brass and I was impressed with the cleanliness of the establishment. We were greeted right away by Sunny. He had my tattoo all drawn out and ready to go. He was so helpful with the size and placement of the tattoo. He did a great job with making me feel comfortable. I have wanted this tattoo for a while now and I am so happy we found Sunny! It was super quick and is beautiful! I will definitely be back for another tattoo.

Brett was a talented and very funny artist. I was extremely anxious for a rib tattoo, but he helped make it a fun, quick (and not as painful as expected) experience! Highly recommend. They even have a wall of signatures from past customers they tatted!An extra bonus was that all the proceeds were going to a local family who recently received bad medical news

I got my first tattoo here, and will continue to go back. Rachel was very kind to me the entire time. She was not at all intimidating when I had opinions about the sketch she had made up for me, which is extremely appreciative considering tattoos are permanent. Loved the environment and the people. Prices are decent as well which is amazing.

Great experience! Sunny is awesome! He really took the time to perfect what I wanted. He’s super patient, detail-oriented, and very friendly/personable. The tattoo turned out great and he suggested some touch-ups on my old one, which now looks better than when it was done originally. The entire staff was very nice and you can tell they work well together. The place is super comfortable too. Highly recommend!

Wanted to live with the tattoo for a bit before reviewing. After a week, I’m still super impressed with how it came out.

Brett completed the sleeve on my arm and did a amazing job! I would recommend him to anyone! I am a perfectionist and he met my every expectation! He was great with helping me come up with ideas and I appreciated the help and input he gave me! You can tell he’s very knowledgeable and passionate about what he is doing! I mainly like how conversations with Brett felt comfortable and never awkward. He has great communication skills which I think is important! It felt like I was chatting with a friend every time I saw him.Tegan is also amazing there! I did powder brows with her and she did a great job! Getting my eyebrows done was something I’ve debated about for years. Once I came across Tegan’s work I knew I wanted to get them done! Her work is outstanding! Tegan was very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable in her work!I can’t recommend Nickel & Brass enough! Everyone who works there is so kind. The shop is very welcoming & clean!

Update: just got another tattoo! Love the office, they have water and snacks. Brett is professional, on time, and has a great personality; he makes you feel comfortable while you’re in his chair. Already have my next one scheduled!Original post:Brett is a phenomenal tattoo artist; he has done two tattoos for me, and I have a third scheduled this spring. I constantly get compliments on the first two. He is professional and prompt, thorough and detail orientated, and a nice guy as well!

Review №48

I have gone to Nick for a dozen or more of my tattoos and hours and hours of work. The atmosphere that Nick and Brett create is welcoming. They work with your ideas and create art meant for you. I will continue to go to their shop for the level of art they provide and the comfort not always felt at larger shops with so much more going on. Its a more personable experience and with the quality of results combined with the artists full attention is the type of environment that every new tattoo shopper would want or will want after they get a few tattoos. Carry on gentlemen, Ill be back in the chair soon enough.

Review №49

I came to Nickel & Brass for a small memorial tattoo, a lowercase “t” on my wrist, in memory of a pup I recently lost. I was recommended to get in touch with Rachel Henke at Nickel and Brass after being recommended to her by a coworker, whose tattoos I admired and asked for advice on a local artist who could make this memorial happen.After reaching out to Rachel she was so receptive and excited to work with me on scheduling a time, even if the tattoo was tiny. We actually both arrived at the studio a bit early and ended up getting a coffee together while talking about my tattoo, what I wanted, and the meaning behind it. She was so caring and compassionate the whole appointment and took the time to make sure the “t” was exactly how I wanted it. From providing multiple fonts and sizes to choose from, to placing the stencil perfectly and ultimately providing the best tattoo memorial ever. It didn’t matter that it was a tee or tiny tattoo, she showed the same attention to detail and professionalism that a larger, multi hour piece might get.20/10 experience I wish I could give her, her caring nature and obviously her talent more stars!

I have received many tattoos from different shops in La Crosse and Nickel and Brass was by far my favorite. The shop atmosphere is super welcoming and clean. Brett has a great vibe and make me feel comfortable before, during, and after my tattoo. He took is time but was still efficient. I got a fine line tattoo and the lines are still perfect months later. I went in with an idea- no specifics and Brett got it done better than I imagined. They are affordable too! Awesome place for the college crowd and locals!

This is where I come to get all my tattoos done now! Even though I live in Milwaukee, I make the drive back home! It’s been refreshing finding a shop and an artist to trust with your body and feel comfortable around! I met Brett a while back and he tattooed my sister and I, short notice and gave us one of our favorite tattoos. Ever since, I’ve worked with him on my sleeve and I’ve been so impressed and satisfied with everything. This shop is welcoming and always has great vibes! Especially when I can choose the music I can listen to while getting tattooed! I for sure recommend Nickel and Brass to all my friends looking for a new shop and artist!

Getting tattooed by Nick was a great experience. He walked us through the process and was a pleasure to work with. He took our ideas and made them great. It was my wife and Is first tattoo at 38. We wanted a way to memorialize our son and Nick gave us just that. His name and dates and an exact copy of his prints. We couldnt be happier. We will definitely be back to Nick for our next tattoo, because one is never enough.

I was quoted a price and they were true to what was quoted! Bretts line work was very well done, he took the time to make sure his work looked good.

Nic did an AMAZING job on designing and doing a tattoo that I had wanted in honor of my dad, who passed away a year ago this past August. I am SO, SO happy with how it turned out. Nic did an amazing job with detailing and coloring and was SOOOOO easy and great to work with. He was incredibly professional throughout the entire process... and just a great guy to laugh and talk with. He totally puts you at ease and is CRAZY talented! The shop is SUPER clean, tidy and is just a really welcoming place! I am already looking forward to my next tattoos and will most definitely go back to see Brett or Nic for all of my future tattoo work.

I went to Nickel and Brass for my first tattoo and absolutely loved it! I was pretty nervous but Brett was super nice and walked me through the whole process, which turned out to be pretty painless. Would definitely recommend!!

Been going to Brett since he was an apprentice before he opened this shop. I’ve had him do a few pieces for me of varying styles and he’s knocked it out of the park every time. The whole vibe of the place is very chill and both Nick and Brett are very genuine people. Happy to be a part of this growth and excited to see where they go!

Got several tattoos from Brett, he was so SO comforting and talked to me the entire time. We worked through the process of figuring out what I want, and I’m extremely indecisive and anxious, but he was patient and understanding throughout the entire planning phase. Definitely planning on only going to these guys from now on.:) Thanks guys! I’m glad to know you.

Cannot speak more highly of this shop/Brett! My tats are sick as heck and I set up another appointment before even leaving my first. Easy conversation during a long day and hes incredibly talented. Im blown away by the line work and artistic touches he worked into each of my tattoos. Also, NOT heavy-handed (compared to others Ive worked with) and I almost fell asleep while he was working. A+++

Brett is great! His lines are great and he takes pride in his work. When I needed a touch up, he was quick to get me in. I love my piece and it has healed beautifully. I will be going back and have referred friends.

I just got my spine and ankle tattooed last week at Nickel and Brass by Brett and it turned out better than I could’ve ever imagined. I was nervous about my spine because I’ve heard it’s painful but Brett just kept making jokes and making me laugh which made me feel more comfortable and not focus on the pain. I highly recommend scheduling with Brett at Nickel and Brass!!
