Reviews
"I got my tattoo done by Harlowe! First of all, loved it, their work is beautiful! But also Harlowe was very respectful when it came to my body by asking for consent before touching me, reassured me that at any time we could stop if I needed and consistently checked in to make sure I was doing okay during the tattooing process. In fact, the entire team at RCTC made me feel very safe, comfortable and welcome! It was a great experience and I would definitely go back. The space is beautiful, open and full of awesome art! Also wheelchair accessible!"
"Finally got in on Bear’s books for my 4th tattoo (my first at Red Clover). This was far and beyond the best tattoo experience I’ve ever had. I had an hour+ consult weeks before and additional drawing before my appointment. They made sure the design was exactly what I wanted, and during the tattoo we had some goofy, casual conversation. I’ll definitely prioritize this collective for my next piece and would consider any of the artists. It’s obvious that the artists all love working together and it creates a wonderful vibe that’s so unique in the tattooing space."
"When I asked my community for tattoo artist recommendations for a custom olive branch piece, multiple people specifically mentioned Bear from Red Clover Tattoo. So, after reviewing their portfolio on Insta (@cunningbearz), as soon as their books opened up, I submitted my inquiry. That started a very easy and completely enjoyable collaboration with Bear that culminated three days ago in this gorgeous, fully custom piece that I absolutely love. Bear is conscientious, kind, and easy to talk to. They're also incredibly talented, and give the BEST end-of-session "Bear hugs" (if you're into that, which I am). Especially if you're looking for full-color botanicals, please put Bear at the top of your artist list!"
"The artist I see at Red Clover is Ari. They are an extraordinary tattooer! They are a joy to collaborate with, and their fine line work is exquisite! Their touch and technique is light, and they truly care about providing a great tattoo experience! I get constant praise for their work, and I am proud to have my body decorated with their artistry! I love each and every tattoo Ari has given me. Do yourself a favor and get a beautiful tattoo at Red Clover! (All of the artists do beautiful work!)"
"One of my favorite tattoo spots in Madison! My spouse has gone to Bear several times and has nothing but great stories and ink to show for it. I was lucky enough to see Glory and had an amazing experience getting tattooed. So glad they still require masks, too. Community care is clearly a priority with them and I appreciate that. 1000 outta 10"
