I would recommend ABNT to anyone!!! My first time that I was going to be tattooed by Kyle, we spent about 4 hours in the shop talking and planning the tattoo out. Since then, I have gotten 11 tattoos. All by ABNT and I will never go anywhere else. Each of ABNT's artists are willing to work with you to find you the perfect tattoo for you. I have also been tattooed by Jake. He is awesome too! Jake is new to tattooing but his work looks like he has been doing it for years. He is very talented. Jake has a very unique style to tattooing. He can bring many visions into a tattoo that is one of a kind and eye catching. I love how each of the artists at the shop show you their talents from the ideas they come up with, to their sketches to the tattoo itself. It will be something you will show to others and a product they are happy to put in their portfolios and show as their work. I have gotten so many compliments on my tattoos and I will never go anywhere else. I am not living in the Eau Claire area anymore, but traveling to be tattooed by Kyle and Jake (soon I will be adding Krueger and Tim's work too) is well worth it. For a tattoo that is your own, never duplicated and for a shop that takes time out for each client to work with them and talk with them and even learn about why they want the tattoo...go to A BRAND NEW TATTOO!!!!! Once you go here, you will never go anywhere else!!! What more could you ask for in a tattoo shop??? read more

I would absolutely recommend ABNT to anyone! I can truthfully say that all of the artists there are some of the most talented in the business. They all produce incredible work, and you can really tell by talking to them that they take pride in their work and they take it very seriously. The environment in the shop is amazing as well, not to mention very professional and extremely sanitary. Every time I go in there, everyone is laughing and having a positive experience and it really makes getting tattooed there that much more enjoyable. I have had a lot of work done by Jake and he has been a personal friend of mine for years, and although he is newer to tattooing, his work is incredible and as someone else mentioned, it really looks like he has been tattooing for years. I have also seen a lot of work that Krueger, Kyle, and Tim have done on my friends, and it is honestly some of the most incredible work I've ever seen. Going into ABNT, you can rest assured that the work you get done will be even better than what you could have expected. If you're still not convinced, take a minute to look through the photos on their facebook page. The work speaks for itself. read more

Went into the Shop to talk to the owner, Kyle, about my tattoo. I showed it to him and he said the letters looked Scarlet/Blood red to him. I disagree, but if that's what he sees, then there is not much room for us to work. Then a guy off to the side that was helping them, injected himself into the conversation. He made some sarcastic comments about the color white versus eggshell white. I asked him if he was being a smarta$$ and he said Yes. It esculated from there into a bunch of swear words back and forth. The guy was itching for a fight. I'm a 5'6", 40 year old guy, my fist-fighting days should be behind me. I was simply trying to get a Marine Corps tat. The owner, Kyle, stood there with a smirk on his face. I left the Shop while the other guy was still shouting swear words at me. Hope you like your tat from them, because if you don't, their Customer Service is pretty bad. read more

This is by far thee best tattoo shop I have ever been to. All of the artists are amazingly talented. The work that comes out of that shop is all around phenomenal. This is the only shop that I would recommend to anyone, EVER!! I have a lot of random tattoos from various shops from being young and dumb and now that I know better, this is the only shop that I will ever go back to for work. Not only are they passionate about the tattoo industry as a whole, they are just as concerned about cross contamination and keeping a wickedly clean shop. And as a bonus, they play some pretty dope music and everyone there is super friendly and professional. Can't go wrong with this shop. Even my grandpa, Mr. Anti Tattoos, who's always rolled his eyes at my tattoos, actually likes the work I have gotten from ABNT. Nothing like a compliment from a stubborn old man, Gotta love that!!! read more

i have had tattoos from a few different artists and i liked them-then i was introduced to kyle down at A BRAND NEW TATTOO. so far i have spent around 7 hours under his tattoo gun and its simply the best tattoo experience i have ever had-the shop alone is full of great and friendly artists-very clean and comforting-you don't feel pressured at all and all the guys are full of very helpful advice-i recently gave kyle and idea of a very special tattoo for me holding high expeactations and he totally blew me away with his work-i have done my research on tattoo shops all over because tattoos are the only thing you will take with you all the way to your grave and i cannot recommend going to A BRAND NEW TATTOO enuff-i posted this because it is very important to know what you are walking into when getting tattooed-i will forever be a customer here!! read more

I cant say enough great things about this shop and its artists. I've had the pleasure of having both Kyle and Jake do some of my work and they are amazing guys with equally amazing talent. ABNT is without question the ONLY place to go for truly custom work. Kyle, Kreuger, Jake, and Tim all have a certain quality about them that you dont find at any other places... Most shops, you walk in, and the artists put out that "holier than thou" vibe, simply because they have much more work on their bodies than you, and nobody appreciates that. These guys dont do that. They have a true passion for their craft, and are happy to be blessed enough to do it. Instead of going anywhere else and picking a tribal dolphin design off some nameless artist's flash sheet, let these guys give you something truly unique and special: A BRAND NEW TATTOO. read more

I got my first and only 2 tattoos at ABNT and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Their shop is clean and all the guys at the shop are really personable, friendly, approachable, professional, and of course, talented! I had visited another shop in the area and was treated rudely--that won't happen at ABNT! I got both of my tats done by Jacob Haag who is super nice and his artwork is awesome. If you don't have a solid idea, he'll take your idea/inspiration and add some creative genius to it and you'll probably fall in love with it immediately. He's really good at working with you to come up with an sweet tat that surely will be original. Even though I moved to Milwaukee I'll always come back to ABNT for future tats--won't find a place better! read more

Hands down the best tattoo shop in Eau Claire. In fact it's the best shop I've been to, and I've gotten work done all over the country. I've had family members and friends get tattooed by Krueger and seeing the quality of the work made me take my business there. I've had my last three done by Kyle and I won't go to a different shop again. Not only are the tattoos great, the "feel" of the shop is fantastic. Whether it's your first tattoo or your whole body is covered, the whole team treats every customer with respect and will work to make sure you're getting exactly what you want. Unlike some "other" shops in Eau Claire that treat you like just another number. Also, and this is SUPER important... they're the CLEANEST shop in the area!!! read more

I learned about ABNT/Kyle from a college friend and found myself driving from Minneapolis to Eau Claire 4 years ago to give him a shot. Prior to that I had gotten 4 different tattoos from 4 different well established places in Minneapolis. Flash forward 4 years and 7 tattoos later and I still find myself not only making the drive to Eau Claire but also recommending that each of my friends make the same drive. The professionalism, cleanliness and attention to detail that ABNT offers is second to none. Kyle has given me nothing but great tattoos at great prices. This is a custom tattoo shop that takes pride in their work and it is obvious the second you step in and look at their portfolios. You will not be disappointed read more

ABNT is by far the best tattoo shop I've been in. It's a very laid back enviornment and all the guys are great. They take their jobs seriously and it shows through their work. The shop itself is very sanitary, the guys take cleanliness to the next level. Lots of positive input goes back and forth between the guys and they've always got great ideas. Jacob Haag made my tattoo experience incredible. He's extremely professional and is extremely talented for how long he's been in the business. You will most definately walk out of the shop with an amazing tattoo. If you already think you've got great tattoos... check out the work of the ABNT boys,and you'll have a whole new outlook on where to get your next one! read more

I have been going to A Brand New Tattoo since I was young - since IT was young! My buddy Chad and I discovered this top notch tattoo shop while touring the midwest with our hardcore band Venia. It has been about 5 years now and I have since moved to Chicago for work, but once a year I make the 7 hour trip to get my arm worked on by Kyle, just one of the many amazing artists there. You seriously can't get a better tattoo for a better deal in the entire midwest. I can't recommend A Brand New Tattoo enough! Amazing service, really awesome artwork, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Next time you are in the area, check it out! You won't be disappointed! And to YELP: I'm not a spammer you bastards! read more

I have received many tattoos in the past but none have been handled in such a professional manner. I did not have to wait an hour after my appointment time to get started on my much anticipated ink. The artists working remained on task and didn't get distracted from their clients while they worked. Everyone in the shop was friendly and easy to talk to. In addition to being professional, the work the artists do is amazing! My newest piece, a Sailor Jerry original, is one of the best tattoos I have received. Tim did an outstanding job creating the piece to detail to the original design and colors. I can not wait to go back to get more ink done at A Brand New Tattoo! read more

I have been going to Kyle for my tattoos for a little over 2 years now. When i first decided i wanted a tattoo, i searched all over the area for a shop i was comfortable with, a few months later i found A BRAND NEW TATTOO! When i first walked in to the shop the first thing i noticed was how CLEAN and well taken care of the shop was. I immediately felt very comfortable about moving around the shop and checking out all the artwork. The staff at ABNT are all very friendly and helpful, as well as very talented artists! I get question and compliments about my tattoos all the time. I highly recommend A BRAND NEW TATTOO for all your tattoo needs! read more

To be completely honest, I'm pretty new to the tattoo world. However, I'm no stranger to the business world and promise that A Brand New Tattoo gets it. The guys there do an incredible job. They are true artists that are passionate with what they do. Not only are they dedicated to perfecting a tattoo, they care about every customer that comes through the door. I got my first tattoo, nervous beyond belief, and they made it comfortable and exciting for me. Kyle explained everything he was doing and why. And to top it off, they're OSHA certified!! I can't think of one negative...I've even convinced my mom to go to these guys! read more

Best in town. I shit you not. If you understand that tattoos are not just a fashion or fad, and that they are art that goes on your body, then ABNT is YOUR SHOP. I've always been on board with these cats and I wouldn't trust anyone else in Eau Claire to tattoo me. They're all incredibly nice people who care about their work. As someone who is super afraid of needles, days getting tattooed at ABNT are like Christmas. If you're looking for quality, beautiful art, and an all around excellent experience, then look no further then the artists at A Brand New Tattoo. Just one stop in will assure that no more searching is needed. read more

ABNT is an fantastic shop. The artists are extremely talented and crank out some of the most beautiful tattoo's I have seen. Amazing custom pieces that will knock your skivvies off. Super friendly guys that will be sure you have a good ol' time getting your tattoo. Super comfortable, beautiful, clean shop that you will want to be in. I will definitely only be getting tattoo's done here. If you don't live in the area, it's worth it to drive on over and have some work done. You will not be dissapointed. And you WILL come back for more. The only tattoo shop in the Eau Claire that takes the cake! read more

from the time you walk in the front door until you leave you will be in awe. you are greeted by people with a smile.the professionalism that extends from the artists is second to none. i have been getting tattoos from ABNT for years and will not go to any one else. if it's your 1st or your 50th tattoo you will be treated with nothing but respect. the skill these artists have to put something from an idea, to paper, to skin is something you won't find in any other shop around and well worth the trip. read more

This was my first time getting tattooed at 'A Brand New Tattoo' but my fifth tattoo. This was by far the best and most enjoyable of my experiences. Jake Haag was my tattoo artist and he did an amazing job. I gave him a general idea of what I wanted and he drew a design that went above and beyond my expectations! The staff was very nice and the studio was very clean. Thanks to Jake Haag and 'A Brand New Tattoo' I got an AMAZING tattoo and I will definitely be coming back for more tattoos in the future! read more

This was my best tattoo experience BY FAR!!! Not only have they done several wonderful tattoos for me now, they are also in the process of fixing many of the others I've gotten at other places around town. The shop is extremely clean, the staff is very patient, friendly, as well as knowledgable and no one looks like a sideshow freak or like they just got out of prison. There are a lot of tattoo studios in town but there is only one place I'll go now - A BRAND NEW TATTOO!! read more
