You probably already know that I’ve been tattooing longer than most of your pets have been alive and that I have excellent grooming habits. Here are a few things that you might not know about me:
Although I do quite a bit of realistic tattoos and portraits, I’m also quite proficient in stick-man drawing and allegorical illustration – especially those with subversive underlying themes.
I was raised by river otters. My favorite color is puce. I have an irrational fear of jelly beans. The End.

Marina

Growing up on the East Coast, Marina spent much of her childhood in libraries and gazing at the works of master painters in the museums of Boston and New York. Now landlocked and after 10 years of tattooing, she has come to love turning your skin into the gallery walls she loves so much. With a special interest in sacred geometry, botanicals, mythology, and fine art spanning from antiquity to the neoclassical movement, her style is all about the aesthetic of timeless beauty. A quick wit and a love of clever banter, she’s more than happy to chat with you at hummingbird speed through your appointment, or throw on headphones and she’ll just as happily spend your time together in quiet focus.

In her off time, Marina parents her two kids with love and sass, wrangles her ancient bat goblin (commonly known as a Chihuahua), and tries her best to stay away from the temptations of plant and book stores.

▪️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.

▪️Ultimate Arts has a TicTok page.

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.
