About Spencer
Spencer Lavallee started tattooing in the early 90s and received his first artist position at Gothic Body in 1997. Helping the owner open a second store on Milwaukee's East Side, he was proud to do the first licensed tattoo in the the city of Milwaukee since it was rededicated and opened back up to the industry in the late 90s. He then sought out nicer weather and traveled south to work at The Tattoo Jungle with Jeff Browning. Getting accustomed to a 3000 sq. ft. store and tattooing sometimes until 4 in the morning, Spencer decided to to take a shot at his own studio. After 3 years in Birmingham, Al, he returned home to Milwaukee and started Zoe's Vicious Circle, LLC, custom tattooing in February 2002. After a few years of success they outgrew the studio in West Allis and opened a second store near the airport. All the success was preceded by a new found family with his fiancee Kim and his son Mason and daughter Madelyn. The studio in West Allis was later sold after learning fatherhood was also a full time job. And the rest, well, it's a Vicious Circle!
