I have gotten 3 tattoos from forward (2 from Zach and 1 from Bunny) and love every one of them! I have done one design I brought in, one fully hand drawn custom cherry blossoms by Zach, and one monthly flash. Each one has come out great and they are easily the best artists I have visited. I recommend this shop to anyone looking for some new ink. EDIT: I can’t stop going back. Had to get another. Peony done by Zach
Was first tattooed here during their annual flash event (will be a yearly tradition for me going, dare I say, *forward*) and was immediately impressed by the eagerness and friendliness of the staff. Bunny does great work and communicates very well. Holly, Zach, and Jon also have stellar portfolios. Highly, highly recommend.
I've been tattooed here by Zach a handful of times, always as a walk in on their walk in Saturdays. The work is quality, the oldest piece I have from here is 6 months old and looks great. The vibe of the shop is also very relaxed and welcoming. The guys there always seem genuinely excited to do a tattoo. As a woman, I've had quite the range of experiences with different shops over the years, but this is by far my favorite place I've been tattooed in in Madison and I plan to continue getting work done here!
