I cannot recommend Josh enough. If you are looking for an amazing artist in a safe, clean environment he’s the one. Not only does he do amazing work, but you feel welcomed and are totally comfortable the entire time you are there. Josh has always helped me achieve exactly what I’m looking for and has given me beautiful work people literally stop me to ask about. In my personal opinion he’s the best in the area hands down. Thank you Josh!

If you’re looking for a new shop for tattoos or cosmetic/permanent makeup, this is the place. Joshua did a phenomenal job not only with the tattoo itself, but with the consultation. He was super informative and was willing to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions. Lindsay was also super phenomenal with our brow consultation and very thorough. Can’t wait for my next apt. The wait is absolutely worth it.
Edit - recently saw Lindsay for my lip blushing & combo/microbladed eyebrow apt. I cannot recommend her enough. Super accommodating, patient, educational & her work is PHENOMENAL. Both her and Josh have made my experience here nothing less than perfect.

Josh was professional and thorough in his consultation and the actual execution of the tattoo. He made the whole experience a pleasant one for my first tattoo. The shop was clean and welcoming as well. I can’t recommend this shop enough.

Lindsay is THE best!
I was extremely nervous about getting semi permanent eyeliner done. She is very knowledgable and will answer any question you have! She is super sweet and makes you feel at ease. I LOVE my smokey eyeliner and got a brow lamination and tint as well. Can’t wait to go back for future services!

Lindsay truly transformed my brows. Being a 90s baby and over plucking, my hope for full brows was lost. I was walked through from a thorough consultation to after care with honesty and professionalism. My goal for less time getting ready and reducing makeup has met! I live in DC and have been researching for an artist for months and landed with Bad Wave Brows in which I drove 4 hours for.
Worth the drive and every penny!

It’s hard to believe this is the difference permanent makeup services, daily SPF, and an entire decade can make.
It’s been nearly one whole year since I stepped into Lindsay Ellis’ new shop for the first time and she gave me brows every girl dreams of being born with. I was even lucky enough to be one of her very first lip blush clients. 💋 I’m amazed at how great it all still looks and can’t recommend her services enough!
So ladies this is your sign to contact your local cosmetic tattoo artist, wear your SPF, and don’t let anyone stress you out that isn’t worth the wrinkles. 😌💁🏼♀️

I couldn’t recommend Bad Wave Tattoo enough. The space is relaxing, welcoming, and CLEAN. Sometimes getting a tattoo can be an intimidating process - the team at Bad Wave does such a great job of making sure you’re comfortable and happy throughout. It truly is a great place filled with great people. The work I’ve had done here has consistently exceeded expectations. Whether it’s for a consultation, tattoo, or permanent make up - Bad Wave Tattoo should be at the top of your list.

One of the best tattoo studios I have ever been to! Lindsay greeted me by name first thing when I walked in the door, and spoke to me like we had been friends forever which made for a very inviting atmosphere. Super clean inside, beautiful and smells amazing. I went for brow services and Lindsay did a thorough job of explaining everything that would take place, she made sure to answer any question I had and above all made sure I was comfortable through the whole process. She never did anything unless I agreed which is fantastic. I was super nervous since I had never had anything brow related done, so I am happy I found Lindsay to put me at ease. Hands down the most welcoming tattoo studio I've ever been to. Definitely need to check them out if you haven't already! 💚💚
