Nickel & Brass Tattoo Collective

Recent Works

**HUGE NEWS!!** As we hit the 4th Anniversary of Nickel & Brass Tattoo Collective, we are excited to start announcing that we are moving locations in the coming months! We’ve acquired a new location that will hopefully serve as a space we can continue to keep providing our community (you) with all the amazing tattoos and art we have spent these last 4 years making. Have no fear, we aren’t moving incredibly far, as our new location is only 3 minutes from our current location, located over at 1220 Denton St. We will be sharing more details about the history of this building and photos of the space as renovations/move in progresses. A big change with this move is going to be the artists we will have in this new location. As some of you may have seen, we have two of our artists moving to different cities as the same time we move. Kaia will be leaving us for a small move over to the east side of state in Appleton, WI. Rachel will be leaving us to a big shift over to the east coast! So, Brett, Nick, & Dannie will be shifting over to the new building. We may also have some surprises with some new artists joining us, so stay tuned!

**UPDATE** Above are the various routes each of our artists do their individual booking. We are making this post as we reach a busier season due to tax returns and that nice window of getting tattoos healed before summer activities. If you’re unsure of which artist you’d like to work with, you can fill out the form at the bottom of NickelandBrassTattoo.com. We typically get back to you within 3-5 Business days, if it’s longer than that, we encourage you to reach out again. You can call our shop line at (608)519-0495 to inquire about same day availability but unfortunately we don’t check voicemails if your call is missed or after hours. Nick, Brett, & Dannie books are open indefinitely, where Kaia and Rachel have books only open through June as of right now.
