What Locals Say About Chicago Tattoo Shops
“Overall my experience with getting the piercing was good probably the smoothest that I have ever gotten. Unfortunately one of my piercings is crooked I got a pair of reverse angel fangs and why one of them is in the perfect position one of them is in this middle of my lip. I called and they said I can come in and get it taken out and repierce there for free. My only problem with this is a piercing needs two to three months to heal closed before it can get repierced If I could have someone contact me so we can work out a plan so I can remove this piercing and have it properly heal closed so I can get it repierced in two to three months when it will be safe to repierce.”
“Kalm was my artist, he was so great and made sure I was comfortable and confident throughout the process. I got a script tattoo on my lower stomach and everything went smoothly. He checked up on me multiple times and reassured me that everything about the process was in my hands and there was no issue with changing the stencil, taking breaks, needing water, etc. My friend and I came here for tattoos and we both had a great time, great atmosphere, great people, couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Just had my first ever tattoo done here and working with Lexi was incredible! She was very communicative before, during and after the booking. She was super welcoming and receptive to my needs, and made the experience seamless. The design and detail is exactly what I was looking for and can’t wait to get more tattoos done with her in the future! Thanks Lexi!”
