▪️2023 Tats 4 Tots celebrated a triumphant 21 years! Thanks to the generosity of over 1200 individuals contributing toys, we filled two entire moving trucks. This heartwarming effort brought joy to countless children in need across Dane County.

▪️Books open/closed: each artist does it differently. In an attempt to avoid waiting lists we have changed to booking only so far in advance. Each month we can assess how many openings will be left after the multi sitting tattoos are booked. Commonly new slots will open at the beginning of the month, when they are gone they are gone.

Office Hours

We now have specified open door hours, 11-5p weekdays. During those hours you can set up appointments, pay deposits, and purchase gift certificates.

The pandemic helped us make changes to many ways we do things at Ultimate Arts. For now, we have gone away from having a walk-in day and working primarily by appointment. We have adjusted our hours to be more beneficial to the artists and most importantly their families. Artists are working a variety of different schedules from early morning, late evening, and weekends. Our open door hours may have shrunk but hours available to tattoo have expanded.
