Eddy Gonzalez

Man, Jesse was amazing. The best tattoo artist I’ve ever dealt with. Extremely professional and talented. Everything was clean and neat. His shop has so much art to admire as well. I will DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone looking to get tattoo work done in MKE and outside! His original work is TOP NOTCH, no doubt! Thanks Jesse! 🤘🏽 …

Sebastian Williams

I had been wanting to have work done by Jesse for about 2 years, when the time came around to have the opportunity to do so,I jumped right on it. Came to him with some ideas and he was super helpful in picking out something that would fit better and that I liked. Very easy to work with and overall a great person and artist. I am proud to be able to have his work on my body.

Leah

I’m really glad to have gotten my first tattoo done by Jesse. After seeing his artwork on Instagram & the glowing reviews he received, I decided to give him a chance and was blown away by the results. I didn’t go in having a concrete idea of the design of the tattoo that I wanted, nor was I fully confident in getting one, but Jesse was patient and honest with me the whole way through. He whipped up a design for me, kept me calm throughout the process, and everything was done before I knew it. And the tattoo turned out brilliantly. Jesse is a talented artist and I would recommend him to anyone. He is great at his craft & it shows in all of his work :)

Alex Merchant

By far the best tattoo experience I have had to date!! Jesse at MANIA Tattoos in Milwaukee is not just a fantastic tattoo artist, but also a great person. He took the time to talk over different ideas, answered any questions I had, and provided a clean environment as well as an all-around amazing experience at his tattoo shop. His line work and shading is amazing, and his attention to the finest details blew me away. I am beyond pleased with my new tattoo and I will definitely be going back to Jesse for my next one.

Jenna Fadden

Hands down recommend Jesse - really nice guy that does amazing work in a private hygienic setting. I came to Jesse for a cover up of a cross on my right wrist and knew I wanted to cover it with my birth flower, a gladiolus. He utilized my forearm length and width perfectly all while completely covering the cross on my wrist in the process. He worked with my schedule and was flexible when I had to change my appointment start time due to a prior family commitment, which was much appreciated. If you are looking for a quality artist within the Milwaukee area, Jesse is it!

About two weeks ago I got my Sailor Moon inspired tattoo from Jesse. It had been more than a decade since I had gotten tatted, so the nerves were there. Considering I got it on my spine, the nerves were heightened. From the consultation to the end of the tattoo appointment, Jesse made me feel comfortable the whole way through. I thought my idea was too simple for him at first, being just symbols, but the tattoo travels the length of my spine at 14 inches, looks exact how I wanted it to, and I could not be more happy! New favorite tat for sure! Jesse was thorough and clean the entire process, which eased my nerves as well. Would reccomend to anyone!

Kim Kelly

Jesse is the best! He’s very professional, thorough and will make sure that you are completely satisfied with your tattoo. He’s very detailed and explains the aftercare process very well. My tat was in honor of my sister and I was so impressed with the way he knew what would look the best and he surpassed my expectations. I highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Brooke Faletti

Jesse provided an experience that was top notch from start to finish. He took my idea and created a piece that was everything I wanted and more. Clean, professional, communicative, knowledgeable, honest, responsive - quality! My tattoo hasn’t yet healed and it still looks crisp and vivid. Can’t wait to go back! Edited to add healed photos!

Harsh Gagoomal

Jesse is honest, knowledgeable, and skilled. The tattoos he did for me were crisp! I really appreciate the time we spent on the placement of my tattoos - Jesse was patient and passionate about collaboratively working to find the right spots. He knows a lot about rap music too, which was a plus!

Todd Dybul

Jesse is a top notch professional creative and tatt artist. Super attentive, detailed, clean and on point. If you want a piece that will out do any work you’ve had done by other artists- I recommend highly!

Timothy Pierce

Jesse is Phenomenal !!! 1st time getting a tattoo done by him. Turned out Excellent. Very artistic, considerate, knowledgeable, clean place, and excellent guy to talk to. Highly recommended.Thanks again Jesse.

Wen Drous

Edit 07/05/22: I loved my first tattoo with Jesse so much, I got another one done a few weeks later. And I have another appointment mid-July! I’m so excited! — Jesse is a phenomenal artist! I am so impressed by Jesse’s efficiency and attention to detail. He’s also very knowledgeable and provided me with excellent care tips & resources. My piece by Jesse is easily one of my favorite tattoos that I have. It is primarily due to the fact that it has sharp, crisp lines, consistency even among minor details, comes together cohesively, and was done with such precision and finesse. I’ve had this tattoo for not even a full day yet and have received so many compliments. This was my first tattoo done by Jesse but definitely won’t be my last. All around, this was a perfect experience, and I could not be happier! Thanks again.

Dana Hamann

It’s been over 20 years since I my last tattoo, and I decided to go all out with a half-sleeve with Jesse at Mania Tattoos. I showed Jesse what I was looking for and he drew me something even more beautiful! His professionalism and confidence enabled me to sit through 7 hours of tattooing, and I couldn’t be happier with the finished product that I’ll love for life! I’ve received SO many compliments too! Thank you, Jesse!

Ace Face

Jesse was super friendly and professional and my tattoo came out so beautifully. I could not be happier with the service and finished tattoo!!

Cullen McCloskey

I had been looking to get this tattoo (my first tattoo) for over 3 years and finally decided to pull the trigger. I’m super stoked about how it turned out. Jesse was super friendly and helpful throughout the entire process and took care to make sure the tattoo turned out exactly how I had imagined. If you’re looking for a killer tattoo, look no further!

Kevin Kastner

I was very nervous walking into the experience of getting my first tattoo, Jesse was welcoming and professional. I came in with a general idea of what I wanted to do but not a clear vision of it, Jesse was able to point out elements to me that would not work and he was able to expand on my idea further. The aspect I am the most happy about is Jesse and I were able to find a point where we were both excited about the work we were doing. Feeling like he wanted to be a part of the experience rather than just putting in work made me feel great as a customer.

Jeff Gregory

Jesse did an amazing job. Made me feel so comfortable and my tattoo turned out better than I could have imagined

shaniya

Mania Tattoos was just an overall great tattoo experience. Awesome service. A tattoo artist you can really trust and know the artist will do their job well. Shows care.

Alexa Nicole

I've gotten both of my tattoos here and both times I've had a great experience. Jesse is very welcoming, professional, honest, and helpful.The shop is always clean and comfortable. I love both of my tattoos, Jesse will be the only tattoo artist ill ever go to. I would definitely recommend you come to Mania tattoos!!!

Jeremiah dunn

Jesse is the best! I've gotten several tattoos several tattoos from him and they always turn out even better than expected. He's always very professional and does great work. If you're thinking of going somewhere else....dont!

Mikki Sitte

Jesse is awesome! I was looking for an artist that knew how to work on dark skin and took a chance on him due to him actually showing darker canvases. He was able to put together a beautiful tattoo for me based off of my very vague description and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Extremely professional and made me feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. I absolutely recommend him and would work with him again!

Kris Plechaty

Jesse was great to have for my first tattoo experience (but not my last)! He explained everything thoroughly, made sure the design was perfect and it turned out better than I imagined! Thanks Jesse…I’ll be back for that bicycle tattoo this summer!

Keith Swetlik

After many meetings with potential artists it was clear Jesse took the time to listen to what I wanted and work with me on a design. Instead of giving me a design we worked thru designs together until we agreed this was the best we could achieve. From design to the actual tattoo I could not have been more comfortable and pleased with the results. As a first timer this was important and I would no hesitate to go back at all. After seeing his work two of my family is also interested in being a customer.

Max Dodge

Jesse is amazing. Like plain and simple. He’s done two custom tattoos for me and knocked each one out of the park. Will be coming back as soon as I have another idea for him to bring to life. 10/10

Charles Whorton

Jesse did and absolutely phenomenal job on my tattoo, he was professional and truly is an amazing artist. I will definitely be coming here for more tattoos in the future!! Thanks again Jesse you rock!

Kalaim Lee

This was my first tattoo ever, and Jesse was super helpful with guiding me on what kind of design I should get, placement, tattooing process, and also aftercare. It was an awesome experience. My tattoo turned out amazing! I’d definitely recommend Jesse to anyone I know. Overall, great energy and experience. Thank you Jesse for the dope tattoo!

Xiaolong Lau

I got my very first tattoo from Jessie and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. The tattoo turned out amazing and better than I expected as well. The shop was clean and comfortable. Jessie was very helpful and professional on everything that is tattooing. He also offered many great suggestions for my tattoo and made it better. I gave him my trust and I do not regret my decision coming to him and his tattoo shop. I highly recommend coming to Jessie and his shop. Thank you Jessie for a great first time experience!

Timothy J. Barnes

Jesse is so talented and professional. His art is impeccable and his shop is immaculate. A great experience every time. 10 out of 10

Cammie Davis

Found on Instagram, enjoyed the work he had done in the past. Made a consult and was able to get in the next month. Tattooing was amazing. Liked not having to take a break and was able to tattoo for 2.5 hrs

Bryce Krier

My second tattoo with Jesse. He’s extremely professional, cleanly, and takes his work and craft seriously. Brought him an idea for something I had done a lot of research on and spent time considering and he created an awesome, beautiful piece. I’d highly recommend to anyone to check out Mania for getting their tattoos done. Very satisfied!!

Eric Burant

I highly recommend! The shop is clean, comfy, and full of great art! Jesse shared my love for big, bold, and bright traditional tattoos. Plus, his custom work is top notch! Jesse's tattooing is all precision and was a pleasure to work with. I look forward to working with him in the future. Mania tattoos is pure class!

Sareesa Kohman

Jesse is so kind and has been so patient with me! I made a consult a couple months ago and after talking it over we agreed the placement I was originally wanting was just not a fit for the piece. The shop is clean, cozy and you just feel so welcome from the moment Jesse greets you. Fast forward to my appointment and I was nervous but he made me feel comfortable and he got to work. The tattoo came out so beautiful and I can’t wait for it to be all healed up for the summer time! Thank you so much for taking the time to set this up and respond in a timely manner every time I contacted you. I would definitely recommend! This’ my biggest tattoo yet and I’m glad to have gotten it done here!

Lia Neterval-Quiel

Jesse did a fantastic job on my tattoo. Honestly 20/10 would recommend him to anyone. He was very thorough during the consult and got me excited about what I was getting. During the actual tattoo he was extremely detailed and professional. He really put his all into the tattoo and the end product reflects that. Beyond satisfied!

Tiffini Lawrence

I’ve received 2 tattoos from Jesse. Very professional. He will not do the tattoo for you unless he knows it will done to his standards. The shop is super clean and follows COVID standards. My tattoo took less time than expected and turned out great! I highly recommend going to Jesse if you are thinking about where to go for your next tat. He can even do a consultation with you beforehand.

Beth Van Hammond

Jesse is incredible! He keeps an impeccably clean shop, is very personable and great to work with. He helped me to better form my idea for what I wanted - a custom floral piece - and created a design better than I could've imagined. He went above and beyond in the care he took while tattooing me. I am so in love with the outcome! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for awesome traditional-style work.

Benjamin Hemer

Went in for a first-time consultation and tattoo, naturally was a little nervous to get it. Jessie was very welcoming and is very passionate about his art work. He knew exactly how to communicate with me on what I was looking for in a tattoo, and was able to bring it to life. He exceeded my expectations, and the quality and detail of his work is tremendous. Would highly recommend to anyone, whether you are seeking additional tattoos or a first-timer, Jessie will take great care of you.

Christopher Warren

Jesse is a skilled craftsmen who is willing to work with you. I got in touch with him less than a week ago and then yesterday I got my tattoo. He is polite, professional and precise and doesn’t have any hesitation to steer you in the right direction. Go see him to get yours done, you won’t regret it. Update: Had another piece done by Jesse today of something very dear to me. As always he did phenomenal work and was very supportive and helpful in the decision making process. I can’t thank you enough, Jesse this means the world to me.

Emily Beall

Just got a tattoo here and I can’t get over how cool it looks. Start to finish, the experience was fantastic. Good music, great conversation, all around good vibes. Solid COVID precautions too; it felt very clean and safe. Definitely check out Jesse’s work— you really can’t go wrong!!

Megalin S

Jesse was AMAZING!!!! I will absolutely be going back. His line work was incredible and made the idea I started with a million times better. Super clean shop, and good protocols with Covid. I've used a few different artists on my previous tattoos and I would say he is my favorite. It was nice to find someone that you can really tell cares about the work he put out. Highly recommend 👌

Lavish Jules

Had a great experience with Jesse! Told him my idea and he drew exactly what I wanted. Went to him on a reccomendation as a black woman who's been told I can't do yellow in a tattoo, he made it happen with ease. He was quick but the work is gorgeous!

Scotty G

Got a large back tattoo from Jesse. It is simply awesome. I went in with an idea which he helped me expand on. He had many great suggestions and drew an amazing design for me. The finished tattoo is so much more than I had dared hope for. It is beautiful! Thanks Jesse.

Anthony Trudeau

Awesome guy. Jesse is awesome and super professional. He has a clean shop and the work is phenomenal. It was my first tattoo and he really made sure I was comfortable. He knocked it out of the park! Granted mine wasn't very difficult, but he took his time making sure it was lined up where I wanted it. I am going to tell everybody that wants a tattoo to go here. Me and my wife will for sure be back.

Celeste Gordon

Enjoyed my consultation and tattoo appointment, Jesse is pretty awesome and his work is too. He helped me out very much and explained things clearly. I got my first tattoos today and I like them very much, he did a great job and I will be coming back for more in the future. Would highly recommend 👍🏼 …

Victoria Sweet

My tattoo came out absolutely fantastic, and it exceeded every single one of my expectations. I have a low pain tolerance, and Jesse made sure to keep me comfortable even when I was in pain. With everything going on, cleanliness is important, and it’s evident that Jesse is knowledgeable of that. The shop is pristine, and I am so happy with my results. Will definitely be coming back.

Holly Holman

Jesse was so awesome! I got a sternum piece here and he made me feel very comfortable and safe in the workshop. He is very professional, organized and clean. He was also very meticulous and took his time with the art so it came out dope. Would definitely go back for another piece and recommend to anybody looking for his style!

Erin Dyszelski

I just had the most amazing experience with Jesse! I came in last week and talk about what I needed and wanted done. I was concerned due to a small scar in my shoulder if it would work to get covered. And Jesse let me know that it wouldn't be a problem. Less then a week later I'm in the chair with a beautiful tattoo out line ready to go. Jesse's approach to getting the tattoo and his technique made me comfortable and was able to sit for the few hours to get it done. I love my new tattoo and have gotten so many compliments on it. Thank you!!! I definitely know where I am going for my next one!

Adam Mish

Absolutely recommend anyone and everyone who is getting a tattoo to get one here. Jesse is an AMAZING artist and his work is UNBELIEVABLE. I got my first tattoo from him and it is breathtaking, I want more. Nice guy, VERY talented, nice place, cool art work, very welcoming.

Dean Flint

My wife and I got our first tattoos from Jesse week before last. He did such a great job with it (it looks spectacular) and he really helped us comfortable with the process. His place is very clean and well kept which was a huge plus for us!

Tarni Miller

Been to Jesse twice in four months for two pieces with a lot of meaning to me, I am so in love with both of my tattoos and get compliments on them all the time! Jesse was easy to talk to, professional, and very talented, and despite me barely being able to describe what I wanted for my first tattoo by him he put together an amazing piece that is better than I could have ever imagined! I'm moving states soon but I'd definitely travel back to Jesse for any tattoos in the future, 100% recommend!

Raul Michel

Great tattoo shop and one of the best tattoo artists! I have gotten 3 tattoos from Jesse and have been very satisfied with all of them! If you have any kind of ideas or needs for a tattoo come here. You will not be disappointed!

Quinn Taylor

Jesse is a whiz of a tattoo artist! Not only is he kind and personable, but he is incredibly talented and brought my idea to life. He works very hard and gave me a tattoo that is so detailed and beautiful it blew my mind today! Other artists are no where near as patient, caring, and talented as Jesse. I highly recommend going to Mania Tattoos. The prices are fair, the work is extraordinary, and Jesse is awesome. I can't wait to go back!

josh russell

I can’t say enough about the quality, craftsmanship, professionalism that Jesse tattoos with!! He was so excited from the day we came up with the design til the gun stopped buzzin! I have had multiple compliments and I’ve only wore short sleeves 3 times!!! If you’re reading my comment your looking in the right place. Best believe I’ll be back!!! Can’t say it loud enough thank you Jesse!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

SM Evans

Jesse is an amazing tattoo artist! He is extremely talented and just an overall nice guy. As a business owner, he is very professional and his establishment is super clean. He just completed a tattoo for my daughter, which was a gift for her 18th birthday. Jesse customized the tattoo exactly how she wanted it! It is just gorgeous! She is thrilled and honored to have his artwork on her forever! Since this was her first tattoo, he was extremely patient with her and he made sure to go over every detail of the process with her both before and after. Absolutely the best tattoo artist in Milwaukee! We definitely recommend Jesse and highly recommend making an appointment because he is in high demand and rightfully so!

Corrin

I don’t even know where to start; I have so many great things to say about Jesse and would recommend him over and over again. Jesse is very professional, clean, attentive to detail, personable, compassionate, and a laid-back dude. He made time to meet with me the day that I called him to go over my vision and ideas that I wanted for my calf sleeve that I have been wanting for years. He personalized all of my ideas and spent countless hours drawing up a personalized masterpiece. He made sure that I checked in once it was healed after about a month to make sure I was satisfied with his work. Honestly, the best customer service I have ever received. I had an outstanding experience and Jesse exceeded my expectations and I can’t thank him enough!!

Rachel Heller

I absolutely recommend coming to Jesse for your tattoos. From the consult to the actual sessions, he makes you feel at ease and I trusted him to take my ideas and create his own picture for my half sleeve, which turned out AMAZING! Book,book, book!

Regina Carter

Jesse as a person is just amazing, his artwork is stunning, his hands lite, and his needle work flawless. I flew into town to bake a wedding cake for my cousin, and emailed about a week out saying I'd love to be able to come in for some work if he could squeeze me in. He was super rad and worked around my schedule. I can't thank him enough for his creativity and detailed work. I can't wait to come back for another visit and grab some more beautiful work from him. Check him out!

Peter Cook

Jesse was absolutely phenomenal from first consultation all through the Tattoo process. He made sure I was comfortable, he was great conversation and super easy to work with. Which are strengths that you do not find with every artist. Not to mention, the building is beautiful and super clean. I highly recommend Mania Tattoos Milwaukee. Great experience. Will definitely be going back!

Tracy Sparrow

5 stars!!!!!!! I got a small tattoo from Jesse a couple years ago and I love it, so when I wanted something more elaborate, I knew where to go! I went in to chat with him about ideas, and he really helped to guide me towards a very classic and beautiful tattoo. He’s very knowledgeable and collaborative. Within a few minutes, we’d nailed down an idea. A week later I went to see the drawing and it blew my mind! Tuesday was THE day and the actual tattoo is even more stunning than the drawing. This is the most beautiful tattoo I have ever seen and it’s on ME!!! I recommend Jesse 1000%!! I will go back for all of my future tattoos, without a doubt. Whatever you’re looking for, if you want to work with a TRUE artist, in a clean, creative, collaborative environment, work with Jesse! He is definitely the best in every way!

Alexis Bruders

Getting a tattoo here was honestly the best tattoo experience I’ve had. Jesse is so professional and such a great artist. He will help capture your vision for a tattoo, and somehow manage to make it even better than you could imagine! Very fairly priced, and clean shop. Highly recommend!!

Charlie Angevine

I got my first tattoo here with Jesse, and it was exactly the experience I needed. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel very comfortable. I really liked his ideas for my design, he did a great job, and I will be taking all of my future body modifications to him! Thanks Jesse!

Rachel Hoople

My sister and I got tattoos here, and we absolutely recommend this shop! Jesse is very professional, and takes cleanliness seriously. Thanks Jesse for the awesome tats- it’ll be something that my sister and I will cherish forever :)

Drake Volz

Saw Jesse’s work online and decided to get a custom traditional tattoo from him. From the consultation to the tattooing, Jesse was incredible to work with. Professional, personable and an amazing artist.

Allie Marie

Jesse is AmAzInG! This was the best tattoo experience I have had hands down! I had a traditional colored rose idea in my mind and Jesse completely turned it into a one of a kind piece of art. I ended up going with black and grey with a beautiful rose, pocket watch being the center fold, and bud. I got to set the time to my bday which was very special! Jesse took the time in my initial consult on the piece, placement, and overall price/time. I really appreciated that and being able to vocalize my input as well. During the session, I felt at ease, the shop was nice/clean, and the communication was great. I am more of the suffer in silence type, and Jesse was very accommodating with that. The piece completely exceeded my expectations! I love it and a little over a week later... it is healing beautifully! Thanks Jesse! I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know and come back for more! I can’t wait to get my next piece!

Reginald Tatum Jr

Jesse went above and beyond to make sure my experience went amazing. He is very professional and we worked well together and clicked. He took my ideas and brought it to life. My favorite part was that he loves the work he does therefore it showed in the art. I had stupendous experience.

Ben Heicher

Jesse did a phenomenal on my tattoo. He did a great job communicating to set up times, and he followed a great Covid procedure. Everything in his shop is clean! He checks on you the right amount and talks with you the same. I will see him in the future for my next piece!

Caldwell Braeburn

Jessie has done two amazing pieces for me, commemorating loved ones I have lost. He was amazing in how he worked with me to get the art to be exactly what I had envisioned and I get so many compliments on them. Jessie was also very compassionate about my thoughts and the reasons I was getting each piece. I’m planning on doing at least two more with him. I can’t say enough good things about Jessie and MANIA Tattoos. I highly recommend him as a tattoo artist.

Kelly Engelbrecht

I've been in to see Jesse at Mania Ink Tattoo twice now, and I will definitely be going back! The studio is clean, comfortable, and really has a great atmosphere. It's not your traditional "tattoo shop" vibe...the focus is definitely on the art. My first tattoo with Jesse was a design I brought to him. I loved it so much when it was done that I asked him to design a custom piece to cover up an old tattoo on my shoulder. I gave him an idea of what I wanted, and he nailed it! It's my favorite tattoo. Can't recommend these guys enough!

Stephanie Gnadt

This place is awesome! The shop is remarkably clean and Jesse takes the time and effort to make sure you are comfortable (well, as comfortable as you can be getting a tattoo) and satisfied. I brought in an image similar to what I wanted on my side and Jesse drew it up and modified it to make it unique. It was rather large and in a painful area (over my rib cage) so he made sure that the work moved at a pace I was comfortable with. I loved the end result so much that I came in again for him to expand it further up my back. My husband goes to Jesse as well now and he did an amazing cover-up over an old tattoo. I also like the fact that Jesse isn't the type of tattoo artist to take it personally if you want to change something on a design. He truly wants to make sure you are satisfied with what you're getting done.

Annie O'Connor

Jesse is hands down the best tattoo artist I have ever been to!! He has done almost a complete sleeve on my arm with such care, precision and beauty, I would never trust any one else! He is a true professional who knows what he is doing and I trust his expertise. He would never steer me in the wrong direction.

Monica Lee

Jesse came up with a beautiful idea of my tattoo. I wanted to have my cat & my daughter all in one, but didn't know how to really visualize it. I definitely wanted it in a traditional style. My arm is very skinny and we still managed to get the tattoo in a perfect height and shape for it. Very professional & clean! Will come back for more.

Van Stichelen Aurelien

Moved few years ago from France and after a really first bad experience to reach my quest to be finally ink in USA, i finally found the right guy ! Jesse is a great tattoo artist, good listener and has a really good personality. I really like his black and grey work and he delivered me a fantastic tattoo with his own style. Will be back soon to finish my arm with him. Couldn't be happier with Mania Tattoo Milwaukee !

Holly Tyler

I can’t say enough great things about Jesse at Mania!! I recently got my fourth tattoo by him and each time I’m more amazed. I gave him a general but vague idea of what I wanted and Jesse created an art piece that is more than I could have ever hoped for. COVID precautions were followed to the fullest including touch less thermometer and sanitizing upon entering, as well as a health questionnaire and mask requirement. 100% will be back for another tattoo!

Megan Wadlington

Just got a tattoo done by Jesse yesterday and I love it. I had some ideas on what I wanted and he created a custom piece that was perfect! The shop is clean and Jesse is fun and professional at the same time. Highly satisfied customer!

Courtney Showers

Jesse did an incredible job!!! I had a pencil drawing that my grandmother did that I wanted tattooed on my back, and he captured it flawlessly. My expectations were exceeded, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get a tattoo.

Schuyler Brock

Jesse was able to fit my friend and I in and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Jesse killed both of our designs, kept it chill, and is and artist you can truly trust to take his work seriously. I live 3 hours away and plan on coming back just for his work in the future.

Lauren Kessler

I’ve had two tattoos done by Jesse so far and I’m sure there will be many more to come! He’s very professional yet down to earth and a super cool guy all around. I also love the one-on-one atmosphere of his shop and his work is just INCREDIBLE! Pricing is very fair and he really works with you in order to create the perfect piece for you. My most recent one from him absolutely blew me away and I am so in love with it. He is definitely my go-to guy from now on!

stevenmeg wanke

Jesse is awesome! Super chill owner, VERY clean shop, very personal experience. My son (who recently turned 18) and I got related tattoos, both hand-drawn; mine was a pine sprig and my son's was a full tree. Both gorgeous. For personalized pieces done professionally in a locally owned shop, you can't do better than Mania.

Jamie Lee Ohland

I have nearly 20 hours of work done by Jesse at Mania Ink. The majority of my tattoos are done in an old school style. Jesse has nearly mastered the old school look while keeping his own flavor intact. This is not easy to do without the work looking too close to a caricature, but he gets it. I get compliments on his work all the time. Jesse is a great collaborator. He listens to the customer like he was working with a partner on an art project. He shares his ideas and always incorporates your own ideas. His work translates well in both large scale and small scale tattoos. He has a great understanding and execution of color, but totally rocks the black and grey scale. My ink has always healed well, but he guarantees the work like a professional. His shop is clean, inviting, and well lit. There is a library of tattoo books and his portfolios are full of work. You will always find stacks of drawings on his desk, and costume tattoo designs tacked to the walls. Look no further if you are needing a seasoned tattooist and trained artist to do some quality work for you.

Brittney Roundtree

I absolutely love Mania Tattoo! I haven’t been this happy about any of my other tattoos. The shop owner, Jesse, is great! He made my experience welcoming and calmed any nerves I had. The lines on my tattoo and super clean and the colors used really pop! Affordable Prices! I highly recommend this shop and I’ll be back.

Derrick M80

It was my first time getting a tattoo. I wanted a tattoo for him to design and place on my arm. It came out great and I loved it.Jesse was super nice and helpful during the process. I Would be going back to him later this year to get my second tattoo!

Alea McHatten

Jesse was fast, professional, and courteous. The studio is clean and lively with his art all over the walls! Definitely recommend. Excited to see how my tattoo heals!

King Fab (JRoweTheGamer)

When I got in touch with Jesse he was very cordial, and respectful of my time. Incredibly helpful in taking my idea for a tattoo from a concept to reality. He was informative every step of the way, and I couldn’t be more happy with the final result.

Bradley Steinmetz

The level of professionalism, quality, and artistic vision amazes me each time I have the pleasure of working with Jesse. His ability to work with clients and their ideas to create something amazing is truly incredible. Each piece I've had done at Mania has honestly exceeded any expectations I had. Pricing is more than fair. Environment is very professional yet casual, comforting, and very clean. I cannot recommend the artist and experience strongly enough.

Anne Fuller

Jesse takes such great care to assure his client’s pieces are exactly as they had imagined. From consultation to finished product, the process is smooth, easy and extremely professional. His shop is meticulously clean and you can rest easy knowing the MANIA art is the best Milwaukee! Highly recommend.

Leslie Wenzel

Jesse was amazing! His work is awesome! I would highly recommend Jesse for your tattoo. His prices work great too! He even opened early for us to accommodate our schedule.

Jesse was so knowledgeable and helpful when i went in to get a new tattoo. I have already recommended him to a bunch of people I was so happy with my experience! Thanks again Jesse, I love my new addition!

Alyson

Awesome. Jesse was ready the day I showed up at the shop, talked about what I wanted to do and we were set for the appointment within days. He prepared the shop for a private session and it couldn't have felt more comfortable! Highly recommend for anyone new and getting their first or second tattoo as well!

Kurt Polacek

For a first timer, the experience was top notch. Jesse not only designed a stellar piece of art, but executed to perfection. The vibe in the shop was calm, cool, and relaxed. Really appreciated all the literature as well. It's obvious Jesse is dedicated to his craft. The proof is on my body. Highly recommend and will DEFINITELY be getting #2 with him.

My tattoo came out amazing, Jesse is a real professional, I would suggest his services to anyone in need of new ink. He's been responsible for my last 5 out of 8 tattoos. He's the best, I'll definitely be back!

Logan Eldred

I got my first tattoo here, I came in two weeks prior to show him what i want and so that he could draw it. I came in today and he showed me this awesome drawing that was better than what i couldve thought, it was a quick easy process and my tattoo looks amazing. Amazing work, would higly reccomend! Jesse is a very nice artistic guy with a talent for tattooing. ****UPDATE Just got my second one from jessie and it again exceeded what I was thinking of. The attention to detail in his work is unreal and he's a nice, easy going guy to work with. Mania is affordable, especially for the quality of the tattoo. Will continue getting my work done here.

Logan Oleson

Easily the best tattoo experience ive had! From the consultation to the final product I felt prioritized and well cared for. And the work is top notch

John Uher

Jesse works with you to create great custom ink. He is also an expert at traditional designs and draws from a long history of tattoo art. His shop is comfortable with tons of tattoo examples on the walls and in books for review. The tattooing area is pristine clean and he is meticulous in his sterile technique. The nicest environments I have ever been tattooed in ! Highly recommended.

Kruger Thomson

Great Tattoo artist and a great guy. Jesse was quick, accommodating, fit my in as a walk in, and super relaxed. Got my first tattoo here and never felt more comfortable. Very reasonably priced as well.

I left a review before but not seeing it now. I got a tattoo from my man Jesse last August. It was a very important piece to me as my cousin just passed away and it was a half sleeve. (Hope you remember it, it was a Ohio State Red O with the words, you should be here). I went in with a image I thought was good but Jesse added his own touches and made it something I couldn't even imagine, it was truly incredible. He did the tattoo for me after hours and was so flexible with my work schedule. It was great getting to know him and more about Milwaukee because I just had moved here recently last year. I cannot appreciate him and the work he did for me. I'm actually going to be contacting him soon for a new piece, so be ready for that call Jesse!

Amber Jung

I just got my first tattoo from here. Jesse is an amazing artist who transforms your idea into something awesome and one of a kind! He was professional and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole experience. I will be returning to Mania Tattoo for all of my tattoos.

Keith McAllister

My guy Jesse puts the work in!!! Old school style with new school rules. Everything he does feels genuine and handcrafted. I remember my first time here I was a little tepid because he made his own rendition of what I sent in to him. When I saw what he’d made from it, I never looked back. The guy is professional, personable, and everything you want from a tattoo artist/lifelong friend. I will certainly be back & I hope to see you there!

I've gotten two tattoos from Jesse and it was an amazing experience. He is very patient and has a very unique art style and his pricing for pieces are reasonable. I definitely recommend him to all my friends and they've all been very satisfied.

Thomas Washington

Great experience, Jesse was super helpful in my consultation and went above and beyond when drawing up my design. The end product turned out amazing, I will definitely be coming back.

cady oestreich

Jesse is a very professional, yet chill artist to work with! Great designs and aesthetic shop setup. He’s super quick but detailed in his work and is very personable. Thanks again, I’ll definitely be returning!

Elliot Ignasiak

It was a real pleasure working with Jesse on a custom tattoo idea. He really had a lot of patience listening to my feedback and opinions as we worked out a design that I’m absolutely thrilled with! Will definitely be back for more work.

Sonny G

I am so obsessed with my tattoo! I have a couple of raised scars on my stomach that I wanted to cover up. After Jesse was done, I had to search for my scars through the tattoo. He all but made them disappear. I love my tattoo so much and I am so thankful and appreciative of Jesse. Amazing work and professionalism!!!

Alex Klimesh

Jesse is an absolutely amazing artist. He takes great care of his customers and is very clear with instructions on how to care for your new artwork. Jesse will be doing ALL of my tattoos from now on.

Anna Mationz

HIGHLY recommend this place! Jesse is amazing, so talented can do basically any style tattoo, and just such a cool guy in general so it makes the session go by quickly. Really took the time to help me find exactly what I was looking for and make it work. Picture is from the night I got it so still a little red.

Louie Williams

Out of the three tattoos i’ve ever had done, this had to be the best experience i’ve ever had. Wanted something drawn up as a coverup and Jesse knew exactly what I was looking for. Gave a few details and he drew up something in a week that was even better than what i thought i wanted! Extremely reasonable in prices and does a great job!

Laura Johnson

Jesse was awesome. He took the idea I wanted and made it an awesome tattoo. He listened to what we wanted and was professional. The shop was clean and comfortable. Will definately go back and would highly recommend.

Kimberly Baewer

I went and got my third and largest tattoo from Jesse yesterday and he exceeded my expectations... for 5 hours he created a beautiful Chinese dragon masterpiece with such movement and grace which I will enjoy forever. The application, black shading and outline he applied made getting this back piece a great experience. Thank you and I'll be back for my fourth tattoo by you soon.

Laura Engelbrecht

Mania Tattoo is a clean, comfortable space. I was really nervous about getting the work done and a bit of a baby. Jesse was really patient and gentle, allowing me to take a break whenever I needed. I had one tattoo done prior to this elsewhere and the artist just wanted to finish asap. He is now working on a HUGE piece on my ENTIRE back. I don't think I would have entrusted anyone to do a piece of this magnitude had it not been for a great first experience. I am thrilled with it and cannot wait until it's finished. It is better than I had ever envisioned it. Jesse is an artist at heart and gave great constructive criticism. This is unique because he didn't just listen, he gave worthwhile feedback so I wouldn't regret my decision down the road.

Sarah

Mania tattoos did more than an amazing job! Jesse is an amazing artist and designed my tattoo exactly how I imagined it. He also puts a lot of care, time and attention to detail when giving a tattoo. Just amazing!

Drew Topalian

Jesse made me feel welcome instantly. These were my first tattoos and I was nervous at first, but Jesse’s a pro. They came out sick so if you wanna get a tattoo in Milwaukee go here.

Olivia Chovan

Jesse has the cleanest and most welcoming shop! I had a great experience, love my new tattoo, and cannot wait to come back for my next piece!

Daisy V

Best Tattoo shop I’ve been to! Jesse was very professional and upfront about my options for the cover up I wanted and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! I am so impressed with and absolutely LOVE my new tattoo!! I will definitely be back!!

Karmen Koelbl

I was referred to Jesse by a friend and now refer my friends and family to him. He creates masterpieces and I’m always getting complimented on my tattoos. He’s professional and takes pride in his work. Can’t wait to go back for my next one!

Vanessa Ramage

Absolutely above and beyond, I had no experience with bigger piece tattoos prior to this, and he spent the extra time during the consultation to ensure that he understood what I imagined. For the tattoo appointment, he had an amazing sketch ready, and kept checking in throughout the appointment to make sure that I was comfortable with everything. I could not be happier with how it turned out, 10/10 will forever recommend.

Adelya Kammer

I first learned about Mania Tattoos on the Groupon app. I called ahead to make an appointment and sent a photo of what I had in mind. Jesse added his own personal touch to the design and it was incredibly artistic. The shop was clean and professional looking, Jesse was super nice and accommodated to what I had in mind, and his work turned out beautiful and better than I ever imagined. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely come back in the future! Highly recommended

Amber Nelson

NUMBER 1 in my book! Jesse is a true artist. I went to him to get my daughters name with a lotus flower and asked him to add to that for a partial sleeve. He came up with an awesome design and i love it!!!! I get complimented on it daily. I will be going back to Jesse for all my tattoos.

Chase Rifkin

Jesse is a class act and as professional as they come. Takes his work very serious and is the only person I would ever trust to work on me. Absolute genius when it comes to designing and executing the art work. If you don’t do Mania tattoo, it’s not worth the risk. 10/5

Simple Hibiscus Life

Jesse is an amazing tatoo artist! I Love how patient he was while designing my custom tatoo. He virtually created a tatoo that I envisioned using elemental designs that I selected. Jesse is well studied and is familiar with old school and new school art which makes him the perfect candidate to design custom ink. Lastly, I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Mania Ink and I'm envious of Jesse's record collection.

Nick Lewandowski

Jesse is awesome! Highly recommended! Wish I could give him more than 5 stars! Very clean and neat little shop. He's very professional, friendly, and will make sure he does the job right! I cannot wait to get more done from him! Thanks again Jesse!

Boss Lady Hampton

I came here to get a tattoo of my father's name who had recently passed. I was grieving so bad and Jesse comforted me and made it a great experience. The entire process was almost as if we were having a ceremonial dedication to my daddy. Very clean place, tranquil, peaceful and decorated so nicely. Beautiful tattoo shop that's a few blocks from my home. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
