Worst experience ever, when it comes to tattoo we all know that we are looking for someone that responsible about his job. since we know we are going to keep it lifetime on our skin(laser removal will be expensive). I already talk to the artist and owner that I want specific design and how much it will cost.. In beginning they give good reviews about that work and recommend you the artist, later ask you to put down $50 to design the tattoo (making a quick money). I agree to it and send this guy all the reference images and said do not plagiarize it. On the day of my appointment this is what happened. 1) The guy who I had appointment with he had nothing ready for my tattoo and making excuses of not having time and all lame excuses. I made another appointment. 2) Second appointment which was two weeks later, He had only 30% design ready plagiarized right from the reference pictures that i sent, still I was being agree to having my work done. 3) Now for the price he and the owner said different than what they were agree to it. before they said we charge by session for big art piece (8 hours=$500-600) and since my work was big (23-30 hr) they said we will charge now $125 per hour. 4) when I said thats not something we were agree to than he said that this is tax season so I am busy with more client so this is my new rate. totally money hungry.... when we want to have tattoo done they ask client to sign waiver but they are not agree to have a pricing document ( how they charge, how much they charge per design and all). 5) The place is rip off.... if you still planning to go there make sure you have everything documented from them just like they want waiver and all from customer.

Looking for tattoo shops in the area, me and my husband stopped in bad apple. It was the last place we stopped before we had to get back home (on 9-1-15). Already having been to 2 shops and one giving us terrible customer service, we stopped in to bad apple, and immediately was greeted by the tattoo artist and another guy in the shop, AWESOME right off the bat. The artist was working on someone but was able to multi task to give us a great experience and feel very welcome. He showed us pics on Facebook of his work, which is awesome by the way. After chatting a bit about what we want done, then the artist (Jeremy) tells us hes the owner of the shop. To me that was very humbling that he didnt come right off and say that. A lot of owners are cocky saying they are the owners right away and makes them sound too full of themselves. Bottom line for this review, both my husband and I because of the very welcoming greeting and atmosphere, humble tattoo artist and on top of it, his bad ass work he does, we will be back to have Jeremy do our tattoos! A must see and go place!

Bad Apple tattoo is the best parlor I have ever been too. I have had two tattoos done at two different parlors, I decided to try Bad Apple to fix up my existing tattoos. Even though I had to drive over an hour, the gas was totally worth it. The environment is extremely clean and very friendly. Jeremy, the artist who touched mine up, is really good at what he does and truly shows he knows what he is doing and keeps his customers best interest in mind. As I said I had been to other artists and I was amazed at how much was actually wrong with my tattoos. Jeremy was able to cover up some "blow out" from the ink and really improved the look of my pieces. Bad Apple also has very good prices. The gentlemen who work and run this parlor are great dudes and are running a very successful shop with even better talent. Check them out!!

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Ive spent five times the amount of money getting a huge tattoo lasered off, less than one year after getting it done at this parlor. Worst tattoo experience of my life. I have a half sleeve and seven other tattoos. I have been to many parlors and have had multiple artists do my tattoos. I was told to go here because they do great work for a good price. But you get what you pay for I guess. A bullshit tattoo by a "senior artist, who specializes in color tattoos." That place is full of unprofessional, full of excuses, trying to make a quick buck artists.

Very friendly staff, and overall amazing experience! I was greeted right away and even called ahead and their service over the phone was fantastic! I got a lobe piercing, a tragus, and a helix, and they all look great! The tragus is by far my favorite, Matt did a great job. Bobbi (I think?) was the other piercer that helped out. Theyre both wonderful, although Bobbi did need a little help with the helix. Everything was super clean and they were very supportive during the piercing process. Amazing job guys! I will definitely be back for more in the future!

Well to start off, the atmosphere was chill and relaxed. I was a walk in and they took care of me as soon as i opened the door. Then i met shaun and he sat down with me and got the tattoo out of my head and onto paper, it turned out a hundred times better than i expected. It was an awesome time, there was music and great people. They let me take a few breaks in between the tattooing process, which i really appreciated. All in all, this was a life changing experience and i cant wait to go back. Thank you so much!

HELLO MADISON WISCONSIN!!! Wake the heck up! If you are going to another tattoo place within 500 miles of Bad Apple you are going to the wrong place! Check out Jeremys FaceBook and Bad Apples FaceBook and look at his work! Are you kidding me? Holy Shlt! You will find my work in progress there as well, the arm cover up with the koi Dragon. This dude...just go see his work, youll see what I mean. DO IT!
