Reviews of Katana Tattoo (Tattoo Shop)

John Kelly

A little over a year ago, I decided to get a large dragon tattoo which I started with a good local artist. After all of the line work was done, I decided that what I really wanted a full Japanese body suit and started looking for an artist to add a suit around the original dragon work. Living in Chicago, I thought I'd have to travel to the coasts to find someone specializing in large scale Japanese work, but was happily supprised when I found Katana Tattoo Studio, close by in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and the phenomenal work of Paul Dhuey. I contacted Paul and we spent some time discussing ideas before settling on a Four Guardians of the Compass theme. Due to the position I had requested for the dragon, working the other three Guardians in was a bit challenging, but I'm really happy with how it's worked out. I'm not artistic, so, for the most part, I've depended on Paul's skills and recommendations, and I have to say I could not be any happier. I love the work he's done and have received many, many compliments. I should also mention that the studio has a good vibe, is super clean, and a great Green Bay location. The other resident artist, Jonathan Gilbert, does exceptional portrait work. He's obviously not working on me (there's no more room!), but I get to see his work when I'm getting worked on - if you're looking for fine portrait or black and grey work, check out his portfolio.

Fantastic experience from start to end. Jon was great to work with and can't wait to work on something new.

Paul is a great artist and a cool dude. If you're looking for an artist that takes pride in their work and makes sure you leave happy, then don't look anywhere else.

Did not go here but it wasn’t open when their hours are clearly posted that they would be open. Just lost two customers.

Just had a full sleeve with a chest panel done. Part of it was a cover up of an old tattoo on the shoulder that I thought it would be impossible to conceal. Paul Dhuey navigated throughout the whole process with confidence and demonstrated not only artistic talent but in depth knowledge of the art of Japanese style tattoo (Irezumi). His studio is very cool and immaculated clean. I absolutely love my new tattoo!

Katana Tattoo is awesome....Got my first tattoo from Jon Gilbert, a memorable photo with my son and I on Tuesday. It turned out fantastic.! Jon was great to work with, very personable and a very talented artist. Met Paul as well, who was very much interested in my tattoo. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great tattoo to check this business out.

Paul Dhuey of Katana Tattoo is an incredibly talented tattoo artist. He is exceptionally skilled at large body pieces and has a real knack at making placement decisions that not only highlight the artwork, but also really complements the body that it is on. His shop is one of the best tattoo environments I have ever gotten work in (i.e. clean, new build, well lit, great artwork on the walls...etc.). Well worth the effort to drive/fly to Green Bay if you are from out of town. (I have both legs done (half sleeves) and am in the process of getting a full back piece).

Look no further for amazing, large-scale Japanese style tattooing in the Mid-west. Getting a tattoo is more than just getting something you want, it's about getting something that works with your body, skin type and balances with your other work. Paul uses his experience and talent to draw an amazing piece of art that looks great on your body now and in the future.

Trent Rabenhorst

Best Japanese style tattooist around!!! Ask for Pual.

Chandler Hartman

Micah did a great job on my tattoo. Highly recommend this shop to anyone.

Randi Van Lanen

Paul is by far one of the best tattoo artists I've ever had. Paul pays close attention to what your asking for, with a little guidance to get the best tattoo, and pays attention to detail in his art. His studio offers the comfort of real art, lots of talent and is very spacious. I would recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for a great investment of art on their body. I have received so many compliments on my sleeve so far and can't wait for it to be finished

Micah is the man! His unique twist on his established skills for traditional style and more are awesome! I usually travel to conventions, but when I stay close to home, Micah is my go-to. See his stuff on IG: @micahgunderson
