Everyone there are amazing artists and their schedule shows their high demand. Jay has been awesome! Great artist, great personality, great communication! I look forward to lots of future "bad life choices" with Jay! P.S. Brock runs a super clean and professional shop and they even have a clean bathroom! Read Less

This was my first tattoo but not the first shop I have been to. Everyone one there was super nice and good. The experience was amazing I would highly recommend, when I get more I will be going back there. Just a wonderful job. Read Less

I have gotten all my tattoos from rock star and they are all awesome. Ashley Neumann is an excellent artist and I would recommend her to anyone. Also the place is clean and neat. The staff are very nice and courteous, they have water. And soda too. All the other tattoo artists are just as good. They deserve 5 stars and they are the best. Read Less

Patrick was able to see me the day I called to inquire about a tattoo. He, and everybody I came across there, is super fun and has a great personality. Everyone there was fun and easygoing, but very professional and you could tell that everyone took great pride in the work they do. He was able to work with me to get exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be happier! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a tattoo in Milwaukee! Read Less

I went here for my very first tattoo and it was definitely the best place to go to. I just went today and got a big spine piece done by the same person as my first, Erik. I fell in love with both of my tattoos done by him. Not only did he do an amazing job on both of my tattoos but he's also an all around nice, humorous and likable artist! I definitely recommend both the shop and him for future reference!! I also will say I would trust anyone to do any of my tattoos there. Over all, both of my experiences at the shop have been better than I could have imagined! Rockstar tattoo will definitely be the only shop I return to for the rest of my tattoos! Read Less

I am thrilled with my tattoo! For being my first tattoo, my experience was perfect and I will definitely be back for my 2nd. Seeing as this was my survivor tattoo, it was very important to me and Brock nailed it! I cannot thank him enough for making my design a reality. He does amazing work for breast cancer survivors and for that I am so thankful! Read Less

OMGOODNES!!!! Loved every minute of it. I have a number of tattoos but this one is my favorite. I worked with Pete, told him what I wanted. He tweaked it a little bit. Once we were done, I fell in love. It is everything I was hoping for and more. The staff was awesome!! When I walked in, right away asked me if I wanted anything to drink. While getting my tattoo, the other artist would come and check it out and complement Pete on his work. Everyone was super friendly and encouraging. Will definitely go back for more. Read Less

Rockstar took my tattoo virginity. When I first turned 18 I was so scared but they were calm, honest and welcoming. But Rockstar really earned my respect at my most recent appointment. We were all joking around when a girl came in to get her first tattoo. Im getting my stencil lined up when I see one of the artists run across the room to grab a trash can and bring it to this girl. Apparently she didn't say anything, but he saw the look on her face a knew what was about to ha...ppen. Obviously this poor girl threw up. But what was amazing was how everyone went from joking one second to being serious the next. No one made fun of her. They took care of her, and even gave her some mouthwash when she was done. Her artist calmly asked if she was okay and whether or not she wanted to continue. She was embarrassed obviously, but they told her how it wasn't the first time, and even started telling her stories about other times people have thrown up to make her feel better. She finally made it through the rest of her tattoo, was bandaged up, and sent on her way. Even after this girl left, the artists still didn't make fun of her. We went on to talk about other things and have some good laughs, but they felt no reason to talk behind this girls back and laugh at what had just happened. That was the moment when I knew I was going to the right tattoo shop. It made me feel confident to know that they don't judge you. Their goal is to get your tattoo done, and get it done well so they you love it, and to make sure you're comfortable during the process. On top of that, there just fun people to be around in general, there's absolutely no one there who I dislike. If I could I would hangout with these people all the time. See More Read Less

Came in as a walk-in with my designs printed out, thankfully Patrick had a no show and was able to take me right away! He was very friendly and professional. He altered my design a little bit so it'll look better over time, which I appreciate. I'm extremely happy with the result! He does great clean lines. My compass and coordinate tattoos look very clean and perfect, which is saying something considering the perfect circle and straight lines. I definitely would come back! Read Less

I would highly recommend Erik Nelson for your first or next tattoo he did an amazing job on my forest half sleeve. It was my first but not my last from this talented artist and also the staff was great can't wait to come back thanks again!! Read Less

I just had a floral shoulder piece done by Pete today, and it's amazing! I could not be happier with it, and I already have people complimenting it & asking where I went. I spent the better part of my day there & Pete & the whole team were friendly & a blast to hang out with.Read Less

Walked In off the street to say hello, got lucky and they had a no show so I got the appointment, first time having been there and I was very impressed, the shop is very clean, everyone is friendly, and the work is spot on perfect. I could not have imagined anything better then what Pete has created for me. Read Less

This is the second time that I have been there and Patrick has done an awesome job. My daughter has had the majority of hers done there. Everyone there is very friendly and they make you feel at ease. You get great conversations, good laughs, variety of music, and even a movie to watch. Everything is neat and clean and very nice. Read Less

My husband and i drove from Rockford so i could get a six and a half hour piece done by Pete Silva and we could not be happier!!! The tat is beyond awesome! Will def be going back,the whole experience was great...love the shop and people there also!!! Read Less

Just got my first tattoo here last night and they provided an all around great experience. The artist was nice and genuinely loved what he did and the remaining staff were very professional. The tattoo came out looking very good as well. Read Less

I got my first tattoo here, and it was a great experience!You have to book ahead of time.  Aka, you can't just walk in and get a tattoo.  They set you up for a consult.  My tattoo was pretty simple/basic, so I was in and out in 5 minutes.  During the consult, you then book your actual appointment.  My tattoo artist was nice, professional, patient and made me feel very comfortable.  I appreciated that he let me slightly modify where exactly I wanted my tattoo.  I was that girl - a little to the right, up a smidge, shift it over a little bit.  But, he didn't mind, which I appreciated.HIGHLY recommend! Read Less

Don't bother visiting this shop, they are extremely rude! I called to schedule a consult and mentioned I had a 20 year old tat that I wanted covered up with new work. After the person I requested (Ashley) refused, they proceeded to go down the line where all "artists" refused as well, I could also hear laughing in the background. The guy on the phone says "you can see how we feel about coverups". I don't understand why my $$ is no good, but would think they at least have some decency and manners. Plus, per their website, "...our Rockstar tattoo artists create works of art out of everything from your own pictures, reworking a tattoo you already have...". My bad for going on their own words for placing the call! Only giving it one star as zero isn't an option. CLASSLESS! Read Less

This place needs to lean some f*cking manners!  I called about a basic coverup and they all felt they were above that and basically laughed in my face!!!  Sorry, I thought your website claimed to "rework what you already have".   If you don't want the work, fine, but you don't have to be jerks on top of it! Read Less

This is by far the best shop out of all the shops I've gotten a tattoo. I got a tattoo done by Ashley in April 2013, and one by Patrick in December 2015. They really know how to take your idea and elevate it beyond what you imagined! They're also super professional, clean, and the shop has a very chilled out atmosphere that I love!I was lucky enough to get both of mine done as a walk-in, but definitely make an appointment. They are very busy these days! No matter which artist you choose, you know you are going to get the best work. All six of their artists are super talented. I will always recommend Rockstar to anyone I know who wants to get tattooed! Read Less

If you're anything like me, when you're getting a tattoo you need to feel comfortable and need your artist to make you feel calm. Rockstar did exactly that. I have had 3 tattoos now at Rockstar my first by Brock my second by Dan and my third by Patrick and each one of them was incredible. They also have managed to get me in very quickly each time . Either day of or next day which I appreciate.The atmosphere there is so wonderful and everyone is so nice and welcoming. The artists there are truly talented. Can't wait to get back for my next piece. Ill never go anywhere else for a tattoo! Read Less

Great atmosphere, you can tell everyone there is laid back, and very passionate about their art. I worked with Dan for 4 sessions, a total of 12 hours and I will definitely be going back. I would work with any of the artists in there. Read Less

I have never been to a "suburban" tattoo place and really wasn't expecting the top notch service and quality.  I went with a group of friends and were lucky to get Brock because of a last minute cancellation.   Brock is one of the best tattoo artists I have ever worked with.  He had some great recommendations for the designs we were considering.  Also, it was very nice to have a enclosed room. Also, I thought the pricing was very reasonable for the quality of the product.  I believe the shop rate is $150/hr.  If you can get Brock definitely book out a few weeks because he is definitely worth it! Read Less

I got a tattoo done here last night- it's amazing! My artist, patrick, did a great job taking my idea and creating exactly what I wanted. The price is completely reasonable at $100 an hour plus tip because he obviously deserved it! I highly recommend Patrick and rockstar to anyone looking for a quality shop that does quality work. Read Less

I have been here once and it was a great experience. Everyone is extremely nice and patient. I have been to three other tattoo places and this one is by far my favorite. I was able to take my time in choosing a tattoo and making it more original. I definitely will return! Read Less

This place is EXCELLENT! Top of the line everything! If you're worried about finding a clean, sterile, reputable shop, look no further. This is the best of the best with plenty of great personalities and amazing art to go with the atmosphere! Read Less

I had been hemming and hawing about a new tattoo since my last one almost two years ago, but hadn't found a shop in MKE that I was dead set on going to. During this time I moved from the East Side to West Allis and was a little dismayed at the lack of reviewed shops in this area. One of my roommates works right near Rockstar and has talked to several of the artists at his workplace, and his assurances that they are friendly folks spearheaded my decision to go in and see about getting some work done. I did some preliminary research online (not much to be found outside of a Facebook page and their website) and reviewed some artist portfolios, and when I entered the shop with what I knew was a design that would be hard to tattoo, I was a bit nervous & feeling unprepared. The shop is neat, tidy, and clean and there is ample workspace in the back and an equally ample waiting area up front. The receptionist directed me to review the portfolios they had in the waiting area and pick an artist, which was difficult because I didn't see anything like the style I had in mind and they all seem pretty darn competent. My roommate suggested I work with Ashley, whose portfolio I felt was the best fit for me. So I presented her with the artwork I had in mind, we discussed how to make it more tattooable (the placement, colors, and the like), I made a downpayment, and booked an appointment for the next month which was June of this year. When I went in for the actual appointment, I was feeling much more at ease. Ashley showed me her draft, asked a few questions about line thickness and pinned down (not literally, ha ha) the placement, and had me check it in the mirror twice. She made sure I was comfortable before starting, and frequently checked in with me during it. We stopped once for a breather and because my arm was falling asleep and maybe I had dosed off and drooled on the chair a little... maybe. I'm a little embarrassed to say that I may have teared up a bit when I saw the final product. It was that good. I'm just astounded at her ability to take someone else's artwork - watercolor artwork at that - and translate it to the body so well. I'm thinking that if I ever again have the budget for a quality tattoo, I'll have her do a truly custom piece.Finally, she briefly advised me on aftercare knowing that I've had previous tattoos, gave me an aftercare reminder flyer, and suggested that I stop in after it's healed to see if any touchups are needed, which, um, I still need to do. Read Less

This shop is top notch. Great customer service, and reasonable prices for fantastic work. Shop rate is, I believe, around $150/hr.  My artist worked with me to design a great piece for my arm. I strongly recommend you take a look here to get inked. Read Less

Samuel specializes in black and grey. He did my portrait of my uncle. My tattoo was special to me because my uncle passed away. Samuel made my tattoo so beautiful that I cried when I saw it. He is amazing. His gentleness when he tattoos allowed me to sit threw 3 hours of tattooing my back. In another session he made two BIG beautiful roses that looked so real with so much detail. I love his work. I recommend him to anyone! He professional and has the best prices. Just simply amazing. Very talented guy. Read Less

Rockstar Tattoo is honestly the most clean and professional tattoo environment I have ever seen.  I have had two pieces done by Pete, and I am beyond impressed with them.  When I brought my ideas to him, not only was he able to bring the idea to life, but he truly made them better than I imagined.  He really worked with me to make sure that I was getting a piece that I would love and that both he and I could be proud of.  Mission accomplished.  I can't imagine getting another tattoo anywhere else, and I wholeheartedly recommend Rockstar Tattoo & Co. Read Less

Rockstar is a great place to get a tattoo done.  When I came in to get a tattoo done by Erik Nelson I noticed somethings: 1. Your shop is clean yet inviting. 2. How friendly your staff was to the customers, it was nice walking in the first time and getting a smile and a welcome 3. How respectful and professional your staff is.Also Erik Nelson rocks, and am so happy he is at Rockstar! Read Less

Rockstar Tattoo is amazing! I have gotten 2 tattoo's done by Ashley and family only goes there to get their tattoos! Rockstar has a very clean and upbeat environment! I always feel at home when I am getting tattoo'd! I have never been disappointed! Read Less
