Great Service Friendly Staff Highly Recommended

This is my go to place for tattoos. The people are awesome, and they are more than willing to work with you until you find what it is you actually want. I've been here so often that I actually consider the people here family. Not only are they my tattoo artists, they are my friends and are just all around good people. I highly recommend this place to everyone in the area look to get inked.

Professional Knowledgeable Great Service

When I decided to get my daughter's ear pierced, I didn't want to take her to the mall so I investigated tattoo shops. I decided on A Dead Anchor as a few of my friends spoke highly of them.
Jordanne was great. She talked to my daughter through the process, and also explained to her that due to her hair color and complexion (red hair, fair skin) that she might have a reaction to cheap earrings as they tend to be more sensitive. (She was absolutely right) She taught my daughter how to properly clean her piercing to avoid infection and also instructed us not to change them out. She was an absolute joy and so knowledgeable.

If someone had an issue with piercing from Jordanne, I can 100% guarantee it was because the person completely ignored her on proper care. I can't imagine why they didn't bother to call the store first before posting a negative review, but that is probably because they chose to ignore instructions and rather than own up to it, they went somewhere else. She is nothing short of professional and was so kind to my daughter. She explained things thoroughly and told us to call her at any time for questions or concerns.

Great Experience Helpful Staff Excellent Service

I have had the best piercing experience ever at A Dead Anchor. Jordanne did my first three piercings and all of them turned out great. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and always available if I had questions with my piercings. The entire staff is incredibley welcoming and friendly. Jordanne has even put back in piercings that fell out with no questions asked and no problem to me. 10/10 would reccomend, just as my friend did to me :)

Professional Work Relaxed Environment Knowledgeable Staff High-quality Work

I love this place! Everyone here produces amazing/professional work, and it's also such a relaxed/welcoming (and clean!) environment--you can't find a better combination.

In particular, I cannot say enough about Jordanne--she is the reason I really started (and continued) coming here. Shortly after I moved to Madison, I went to the shop to ask for information about some ear-piercings I was thinking of getting (I had no piercings previously and was nervous about the process), and I was so impressed by how knowledgeable and personable she was, that I came back in that night to get those piercings. Then before I knew it, I was coming in to get a tattoo from her as well...at the time of writing this, I have gotten 8 piercings and 6 tattoos from Jordanne, and I know I will get more. Any time I have had a question about aftercare, jewelry, etc., her advice has always been spot-on, and her work has always been high-quality. She even made getting nipple piercings into a comfortable experience (I bet that's a sentence you don't hear often!) So please, do let Jordanne stab you, you won't regret it!

I've also gotten beautiful tattoos from Lady Bea, and I think I will get some from Liz in the near future. The shop can't get rid of me at this point--even if I move away from Madison, I know I would be making trips back here for more. Jordanne, Bea, Liz, Brandon, Froad--I love these people, love their work, and am more than happy to recommend them.

Professional Hygienic Attentive Humorous

I got my ears pierced here and Lady Bea did the most amazing job. If you want someone professional, who knows their piercing hygiene/whatnot like the back of her hand, Lady Bea is the one to call. She'll take her time, planning the piercing and making sure all the necessary ducks are in a row. Trust me when I tell you that you want someone willing to take her time, because there are few worse recipes for disaster than being pierced by someone impatient.

If you are sensitive to somewhat dirty (but good natured) humor, then this might not be the place to go. That being said, I was super grumpy when I went in, which usually lowers my tolerance for anyone enjoying themselves within my earshot, and the risque jokes were only a little annoying. The end product was more than worth dealing with risque jokes. :)

Brandon has always done great work. He did my first tattoo and several after that. He always made the experience fun and exciting. He worked with you to get you exactly what you want. He is always pushing himself to become better and better. A true craftsman.
