About Us

Creating Legends…..

“It is our passion and privilege to create tattoos with soul. Tattoos that are unique, powerful, and beautiful treasures for life.”

We love creating custom tattoos. The artists at Iron Brush have incredible freehand drawing capabilities and specialize in creating a one of a kind tattoo for you.

It is our privilege and honor to turn your ideas into tattoos that will last a lifetime, tattoos that are beautiful, exotic, surprising, and different. Tattoos that make you part of a larger community and make you the individual. Tattoos with soul, that tell your story. Tattoos with meaning that can guide you or remind you.

We are here to deliver to you an amazing tattoo with the quality we have become famous for.

We keep a huge reference library from all of the best styles of tattooing. We love the powerful images and hidden gems captured on paper and inspiring all of us. All of these images, drawings, and paintings drive deep the feelings of adventure, the exotic, the new, the unique, and the primal. All guiding us to bring our most creative minds together with our clients to help them see their ideas and stories become real and forever in the pieces that we can carry with us.

We have hundreds of examples of tattoos from each artist to highlight each their personal style. We use powerful images from the east and west, combining classic with the unusual, the modern with the primitive.

Our ‘flash books’ are actually all original drawings from the artists at Iron Brush. We have a huge selection of original hand painted flash also done by the artist at Iron Brush.

We strive to bring out the true beauty of all the relevant styles of tattooing. For some, the classic tattoos symbolize lost images from a simpler time, when tattoos where raw, cutting edge, visceral messages of who you are. And for others they are a nod to the giants of the tattoo world, the artisans who understood the power of symbols and built tattoos to last a lifetime. Or possibly they are an amulet of something stronger inside of the wearer. The traditional Japanese and the new ‘East meets West’ has a subtle beauty of making the very complex into something with simplicity and grace.

History

Iron Brush was open in January 2002, in the same place it is today. Making its mark in Midwest tattoo scene, we feature a crew of artist hand picked for their dedication and desire for tattooing.  Iron Brush continues to push the standards for excellence and quality tattooing that we are known for.

We continually expand our reference library and resources, as well as travel to other shops, and work conventions to continually push the envelope what is possible and bring some of the best tattooing to the Midwest.
