unprofessional employees talking about former employees. pierce my nose wrong. very very terrible service. I do not at all recommend going to this busines.

the artwork that my husband and I had done turned out well, but the environment was completely unprofessional. there were kids running around everywhere including in the tattoo area. my husband set himself up so that the little kid ( maybe 3??) didn't keep bumping into me while I was being tattooed. there were a bunch of other people coming in and out just hanging out. I felt like we were uninvited guests in the middle of someone's house. we will not be returning nor will we reconvene this place to any of our friends.

Great and friendly! I got just what I asked for (small name on my wrist) and it looks wonderful! I was pleased to see that everything was sterile or one time use and I got comprehensive aftercare instructions. I look forward to going back and getting another.

This was the most unprofessional tattoo shop I ve been to. The artists did not have any work to show me -- the woman had some photos on her camera because she said the last place stole her books. This is unacceptable for a tattoo shop. There was a hispanic artist who said he recently moved from the south; he was tattooing a woman and the tattoo was rigid and very amateur looking. Also, there was a heavy smoke smell in the area where tattoos are done. I would not recommend going here for a quality tattoo. I went to Ultimate Tattoo in Madison the following weekend and was VERY pleased with their professionalism, service, and work.

I had always been skeptical about getting work done at Public Enemy Tattoo. However, I went in yesterday to have an older tattoo of mine that I had gotten elsewhere fixed up. Matt, my artist, explained to me that the tattoo I had was near impossible to fix and would never look perfect. He suggested getting a new tattoo to cover up the old one and I am very happy with my decision. The detail, colors and the hard work and effort that he put into it was absolutely amazing and I will be back for more. The shop is very clean and everyone is very friendly. I have read previous reviews where people had complained about their tattoo from Public Enemy getting infected. This is NOT their fault. They give FULL aftercare instructions and what happens to your tattoo after walking out that shop door is entirely your doing. Get tattooed by Public Enemy. You will NOT be disappointed.

I have had 2 tattoos done at Public Enemy. My first turned out great! That's why I went back a second time. The second tattoo did not turn out so well. I had a different artist that I did the first time. I initially was told that I bruised. I could clearly see what I thought (and was told) was a bruise, I wasn't surprised since I bruise easily. 6 months later, that "bruise" is still there. I was informed by another tattoo artist from another shop that it was an "ink blowout" underneath my skin that is generally caused by the way the tattoo gun is being held or using the wrong needle speed. I now have a huge mark that looks like a giant bruise (3in x 6in). Now, I have to shell out additional money to fix a tattoo by Public Enemy's artist.

Would recommend one artist their (from my first tat there), but can not recommend the other.

For god sakes people look at portfolios and dont make the same mistake I made. that's all i have to say. I got a shaky barely legible tattoo and an infection for three and 1/2 weeks. A $75 mistake i will not make again!

I had a tattoo done here, and am so disappointed in the results. The customer service was fine, but the artwork leaves a lot to be desired. I had a large piece done on my back shoulder and side and am now facing a big coverup situation because of the lack of talent. I am very disappointed.
