Strange Brew Tattoo

Not a new story,,took our 17 year old daughter here for her first tattoo,a very large tattoo,,,my daughter spent alot of time on the phone explaining what she wanted,sent Rachel some ideas, and then left a life changing decision in Rachel's hands...2 days before our appointment Rachel sent Haley the outline,,,,all I could think was,,good luck with that..lol!!! But I had spoken personally with Rachel several days prior,,and I really liked the vibe she was giving me,,so we went for it...We did not know if we were going to have to hang out there for 6hrs. keeping close watch,But after seeing and speaking to Rachel for 5 minutes,,I knew my daughter was in very capable hands,and would be safe....Meet her,you'll get where I am coming from...End result,,,Rachel knocked it out of the park!!!! exceptional, intricate line work,,and absolutely beautiful use of many colors...She is a smart,sweet young lady,,cares about you and takes pride in her work,,I would recommend Rachel to anyone nervous about their first,,she's got you covered. Johnny treated us with respect,,solid man...just remember how important their art is to them both,,and respect the shop,,it;s got a lot of cool history within...will see Rachel again in life....Scott and Jessie

Brought my 11 year old here for a walk-in earlobe piercing and had a wonderful interaction! The space was calm and clean, the employees were welcoming and clear and friendly, the process was explained and carefully done. What a relief - an excellent experience from start to finish.

Went for my daughter to get her septum done. They were both wonderful. She had a great experience.

My daughter got a piercing here. They are clean, friendly and organized.

Went in with a half sleeve from another tattoo artist that I couldn't see anymore and wanted to finish it. Rachel took on the task and absolutely killed it, it looks perfect and it all looks like one artist tattooed it which is exactly what I was hoping for. She exceeded my expectations and the pricing was more than fair for the work she did. I'll definitely be going back for future work.

Drove from Maine to Grant my daughter her wish for her 16th Birthday.....for her 1st tattoo. When we arrived we discussed tattoo design and Rachel drew up an amazing tattoo...exactly what my daughter wanted. She quoted us a price of 250.00. We were then informed that a different artist was on his way to do the tattoo. Our appt was for 2.....meanwhile 230 Johnny rolls in. I explain that this is her 1st tattoo. He doesn't talk to my daughter at all but instead talks and looks at his phone. Rachel gets my daughter prepared and she tells him the price of 250. Meanwhile they have my daughter awkwardly sitting sideto on a chair feet dangling for a forearm tattoo. He never engages in conversation with my daughter. .once he finishes the outline he blames my daughter for moving for lines that were shaky. I stood next to my daughter the whole time I can assure you she did not move. He then began to shade and began ranting about politics. He finished the tattoo....and Rachel asked him to check us out. He charged 350.00 for what took him 45 mins. There are areas of the tattoo where lines are not finished and areas he forgot to shade. What could of been the most beautiful tattoo will need to be touched up and finished someday. Very disappointed with the customer service of this shop.

Came here to get a nose piercing with a group of female friends, A family member had just went and had excellent service done on their tattoos, we walk in and we’re greeted pleasantly by the woman. She gave us all around great service. But the man who I presume owns the shop left everyone of us feeling uncomfortable and creeped out. He was extremely flirty with one of us who was clearly uncomfortable with it. He Called her Wendy bc she had red hair. Wouldn’t stop even when we asked him to and corrected her name. Even the woman who worked there corrected him. He was touching us unessicarily. Running his hand across our back to step by, and generally was very touchy while doing piercings. He was incredibly rude about my Tourette’s. I notified them before the piercing and on my paperwork about it and he told me to my face I was lying! Didn’t believe me at first and told me to stop swearing at him. He then asked me if I was put in a box away from all swear word what would I do. Excuse me sir????? I will never go back here.

TLDR: Respectful staff, welcoming environment, and beautiful work. I got two tattoos here last Saturday, one on each arm above my elbow in a simple font. The shop was clean, quiet, and welcoming. I was given very good advice about size, font, and placing. Jon was flawless, needing one pass on each letter. Rachel did a fantastic job perfecting the stencil placement, putting on the bandages, and explaining aftercare. It has been almost a week and healing has been going very well, I will definitely be back for more.

Very cool and clean shop. The tattoo I got, unfortunately, was poor quality. Not only was the tattoo not what I wanted, the staff was rude and creepy.

Rachel was extremely professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. She was ready when I arrived, she gave me some great thoughts on size and placement of my tattoo, and then she went right to work. She was fun to chat with. She's very smart and talented, with a positive personality. Her shop was clean, neat, organized, and quiet. This was my 11th tat and probably the least painful. I will definitely be going back to Rachel for future work!!! 😁👍

Brought my daughter to get her nose pierced for her birthday. At first sight the building was a little run down looking (multiple businesses inside) but once you got into the Strange Brew parlor it was very clean and well organized. The staff was great. They talked her through every step and was very thorough about the after care instuctions. The art work that we saw was very good. When it is time for another tattoo or piercing I will be going back to them!

I called to see if they could fit me in and they were able to fit me and my partner in right away. Rachel was kind, professional, very gentle and worked quickly to accommodate us. Our tattoos look amazing! We will definitely be back when we’re in the Brattleboro area.

Did my first tattoo n second at the same time! Luv it!!

Rachel was amazing with my daughters first back tattoo. She was great at multi tasking piercings and doing our tattoo..

This place is very good. My mom got her nose pierced a few years ago and it was great. Piercers were very gentle, sweet, and very good at their job. I 100% recommend Strange Brew!! I, myself, am thinking about going soon if they'll let me get it done. I asked my mom for this place because she said they were very good to her. So, when I would like mine done, I will be going here!!

Beautiful place beautiful tatoo artists. I will definitely be there forever in brattleboro To go to there shop love it thank you so much.

I have been here a few times and had my Monroe done and a tattoo. I won't go anywhere else. Best place you can go b to and trust the work being done. Never had any issues

Excellent service, great environment and very skilled at what they do. Will return myself for anything we need.

Wonderful customer service. I would highly recommend to visit this place

Rachel was amazing and did a fantastic job on my son's first tattoo. Thank you!!!
