1st Place: Feed My Addiction
2nd Place: Artisan
3rd Place: A Brand New Tattoo

Feeling the itch to get inked? Feed My Addiction Tattoos (2614 London Rd.) trumps all the competition for the best place to get a tat. The award-winning parlor is home to two tattoo artists. Artist Mike’s custom portraits are so lifelike that you might try to start a conversation with one. Artisan (407 Water St.) is the Chippewa Valley’s next choice for sweet pain. The shop’s three artists and two locations offer custom and freehand tattoos. From floral to gothic designs, Artisan has something for everyone. For a fresh perspective, check out the most recent addition to the ink scene, A Brand New Tattoo (511 S. Barstow). The brand-new parlor is just approaching its one-year anniversary, and just relocated downtown. ABNT’s three artists have years of “skin time” under their belts, and offer the designs of leading artists, as well as very unique designs of their own. – Carrie A. Weiss
