Showed up with four of my friends after a Harry Styles concert to get tattoos. No reservation, they took the five of us in and got straight to work. Clean, professional. Marco did mine and he was so nice! It was some of our first tattoos and they did their best to calm us down and make us feel okay! Reasonably priced, fun experience! Definitely recommend

I just went and got my nose pierced here a few hours ago and I had to share my experience. The building itself is very clean and spacious. No weird shady tattoo shop vibes or questionable sanitation. Getting checked in was very speedy and the prices are reasonable and fair. They have pricing on their website which did not change when I went in. Besides the building, the staff was very courteous and helpful. The person at the front was very clear and my piercer was amazing. We discussed aftercare and my fear of needles and he made the process extremely pleasant. My piercing looks amazing and I plan on coming back here many times!

My coworker/friend went here with her 17 yr old son yesterday to get both of their ears pierced and the front desk clerk and piercer refused her service saying she was pregnant. SHE TOLD THEM AND SIGNED WAIVER THAT SHE IS NOT PREGNANT! she is 130# and might have a little stomach after having 3 CHILDREN! and is nearly 40 years old. The audacity. Cant believe how rude they were to her. She is such a nice person. Shame on your staff. Clearly they dont have any children to understand how it effects your body! nor have any common sense/customer service skills. My friend went to another Body Piercing/Tattoo shop who was actually kind to them. What a concept! I would never give this place my business nor refer anyone to them. SHE IS NOT EVEN PREGNANT - YOUR STAFF IS SO RUDE!

Loved this place. This was my 1st tattoo they were clean, they made sure it was exactly where I wanted it and it looked great. Ill be going back.

I got a tattoo done here on a whim and I’m in love with it! Rafal did my tattoo and his attention to detail was great! 10/10 recommend

Awesome experience! My boyfriend and I came in not knowing exactly what we wanted, but the receptionist was really nice. We ended up getting a couple small tattoos. Our artists were awesome and did a great job. Such a great shop for last minute and late tattoos.

Excellent highly recommend anyone getting a tatoo. Super clean shop and they pay attention to detail this is the my spot from now on. :).

I went for a tattoo (not at all my first tattoo so I came with experience) and my friend got a piercing and we were so impressed by this shop. My tattoo looks amazing and my artist was just as amazing! The piercing artist was amazing and we both LOVE the outcomes! We will definitely be back!! The shop is so clean and so cool looking. My ink looks awesome and I highly recommend this shop! I have never been here before and I was instantly impressed to the point that I will definitely return!

We were very impressed with Mandy!!! She was helpful and knew exactly what to do. The other staff were friendly and welcoming. Very thorough with needing consent for my 17 year old daughter. We would certainly go here again. The place is funky, clean, and stylish!!! Excellent service!!!!

I’ve been going to chi town for three years now! The service is amazing Joey and I have been working on a tattoo for a couple months now and he took his time and did an amazing job with it! Love this place and highly recommend going here for your tattoo! Can’t go wrong. Great environment!

I got my septum pierced. The place was packed for a Saturday night but in a good way. The staff were amazing overall great experience for my first time there. Ive definitely recommended people there since my visit.

Lovely shop, had great music and staff, my nose piercing was quick and the piercer was patient and talked me through the whole process

This is the best piercing shop ever!!! I had Micheal and he did my septum. It was so quick and didn’t even feel it. If you’re thinking about getting a septum, do it!!!

I couldnt be happier about this shop. Very easy to find, great and safe location. My new tattoo artist for life, Manny, took great care of me. No pressure and no hassle kind of person. He got back to me in time and was straight forward. He has a great setup in the shop that helps make the experience that much better. The rest of the staff was very friendly as well. See you all soon again. #Great experience!

Very clean, friendly service. Piercing was quick and painless. Was provided great after care instructions. Popular place, so be sure to get there when it is slow or be prepared to wait a little bit. Either way, def recommend!

Went there to get simple matching butterfly tattoos with my cousin … Jade dragon had previously quoted us $150 …but couldn’t get us in there that night . When we got there we assumed it would be approximately the same .. but was $250 each , we still did it but apparently we got an artist not listed in any reviews here “Agata” .. first she ended up having to fill in circles with black instead .. was talking in what I’m thinking was polish to another girl over us the whole time . Now over a week later seeing the healing there are so many patches missing in simple little butterflies.. I wasn’t happy at all with the experience, mind you I am covered in tattoos & been to many shops . Worst experience ever !!! I’m assuming she over priced the tattoos because she doesn’t get very much business. Maybe we were just unlucky with our artist … but it was a $500 lesson learned. I wish I could post pics of what we showed & what we got !!!

Amazing place! I walked in and was able to get my belly pierced and a tattoo with no wait time. The shop is very clean and staff is super friendly! But most importantly, if your looking for a great Tattoo artist, I’m obsessed with Jameson!! Check his work out, he’s amazing! ❤️

Well the people who said they were in and out were definitely lying or over exaggerating, as I sat for well over an hour for my tongue piercing and I was the second one in line at the time. Not exactly sure how their first come first serve policy works when several people came in after me and were seen before me; it must be based on what technician can perform what or these people all miraculously had appointments for 5pm on a Tuesday. Regardless, the wait was incredibly long for walk-ins but I waited regardless. Customers came in without masks on despite their policy, some of them boasting about it, and nothing was enforced. There also isnt temperature checks like Google says, so if youre worried about covid maybe skip this one. Other reviews are right, the receptionist is kind of rude but I dont envy them when people dont follow policy constantly and theyre this busy. The piercing was cheap though and my technician was nice and appreciative of me waiting through his rush. He explained the aftercare and was patient with my excessive drool lol.

2 upper lobes, Helix, and Conch done by Claire in one go. Perfect service and placement!

This was my first visit to this shop, and Im delighted I was able to locate such a wonderful spot. Its a fantastic spot to get a tattoo!

I used to have on/off experiences with this shop over the years but have finally found my go-to folks. Ive really appreciated coming across artists who approach the appointment with patience and care, and are willing to hear me out about my anxieties and sensitivities. They have been super respectful and responsive when I ask or express to shift/pause/adjust etc.Marco has become my favorite tattoo artist and has been super great to work with. Ive sent in original designs and he has helped me bring them to life 🌼If you want to get any piercings, Brenton and Mandy are super patient and gentle and made the process relatively painless 😊 and thats saying something when youre intentionally getting pinched and poked at lol. They are also really accomodating and show they truly want you to leave with a happy piercing.Ive had some pretty bad experiences with other shops where they are rough, and shove needles, and blamed me when I was in pain bc they dismissed me when I needed longer bars etc. Brenton was super chill and took the time to hear me out, and was willing to make sure I left the shop comfortably.Ive witnessed some high turnover in the past but lately have been seeing familiar faces. I suggest having a conversation with your artist and ask some general questions to gauge if theyre the right ones to work with you.

The artists are highly skilled and the designs are great. Like the vibes too.

So the young lady who did my tatt dug to far into my skin. When my tatt healed it looks like a scar now. I wanted a colorful tatt teal and white tribal butterfly. It looks horrific. Then she told me and my friend she would charge me $100 for the tattoo and then changed her price to $200. This young lady truly needs to replace my money. Ill upload photos shortly

I got my ears pierced today. I never gotten a piercing nor a tattoo before. I have Trypanophobia: a fear of needles. It’s not intense to the point of nonfunctional, but it does cause me a lot of anxiety and fear. I always wanted earrings, and I would wear magnetic earrings just so I wouldn’t get it pierced. I finally decided to get it pierced today and I was terrified. The closer I was getting the needle in my ear, the more panicked I was. I tried to stay very calm by using my breathing app on my Apple Watch and clutching my bfs hand the tightest I ever could, so I definitely did not the best experience, but from personal problems.However….. CLAIRE was very understanding. She was very patient, very knowledgeable, and did everything flawlessly. It was my first piercing, so I can’t say it was better than others lol, but I trusted her, and she helped me stay calm, even with my fear of needles. CLAIRE is great at what’s she do. She has a great pro-folio of work and experience. She is very flexible in art work and tattoos. Check for CLAIRE.

Got my conch pierced, five days later my ear was swollen and angry red (never once touched it and cleaned it 2-3 times a day with salt water). when i called the shop to ask what to do, they told me it was just the healing process and that i was over-exaggerating my symptoms. still in horrible pain i went to the doctor this morning and they said my ear was heavily infected. now on hard core antibiotics. DO NOT FOR WHATEVER REASON GET PIERCED HERE!

Their pricing is good but the work not so much. Wasnt happy with my lion. Now I didnt have as much money to get this tattoo but they gave it to me anyway. But I paid for what i get. And that totally shows. They are very nice here. But if they werent going to do as good of a job since i only had a certain amount of money they shouldve just said no we cant do it. But thats my fault shouldnt of gotten the tattoo. My blue in the eyes didnt stay at all. Even when it was freshly done. And the eyes look weird.

Was marvelous coming back to this place.the staff were very kind at helping me.the prices were reasonable. The work.. Beyond extraordinary. The timing was amazing got done quicker than ive imagined. Would highly reccommend this spot!

Worst service ever; I went in to get my ears pierced, during the questionnaire they ask if you’re pregnant. Obviously I’m not. Both the receptionist and Claire looked at me dirty and said they couldn’t pierce my ears because I was “pregnant” after me telling them I was NOT. They told me “yes you are” and refused me service. Not only was it rude but theyre just horrible.

Mandy was great!! she pierced my nose super fast, clean and gently! it didnt hurt! id definitely go back for more piercings! my nose stud was only 55$ (upgraded gem) and it was definitely worth the price- most places can be 80$ (base price)

Awesome staff. Very clean and follows pandemic protocols. Will recommend it for piercings and for tattoos as well.

Micheal was so great. Me and my sister did nose piercing at this place, I must say People were so professional and clean here. Micheal did mine and my sisters nose piercing and he was so light handed, we didnt even realized it was done already. No pain at all!!

Very friendly staff, clean, cozy establishment... Great tunes for your listening pleasure...Plus I sat down with an amazing Tattoo Artist for a late nite, long awaited Tat with my guy🎨 We both had the same experienced artist(A-gatta)spelling may be off a lil on her name sorry...who did an excellent job on the both of us...There were plenty of experienced artist available, and who were also very busy working diligently until closing...I highly recommend this place for anyone, especially the nite owls...Its open late for your convenience....💥🤘💙

Judgemental, rude, and didn’t listen to my specifications for a tattoo. Joey was too lazy to adjust anything. The woman who pierced my friends was amazing, she gets 5 stars.

Well run prompt service even without an appointment, artist was as friendly and helpful as could be. Definitely plan to be a repeat customer thanks chi town tats

My sister got a nose piercing and the were really quick

We went there yesterday to get a piercing. We were recommended to ask for Michael and he was amazing. The procedure was very quick and clean. Afterwards, he explained how long it will take to heal and how to clean the piercing.The lady at the front desk was also very nice and friendly. Their prices are also very reasonable and affordable. Anyone who wants to get a piercing and/or tattoo, I highly recommend this place.P.S. here is a picture of the sunset from their waiting area.

My fiance got work done here. Very professional group of people.

Went as a group with my sisters! And everyone was easy to get along with! Got both tattoos and piercings, process was quick and clean! Not only that, staff was very caring & made sure everyone was okay & happy! Plus they take PROPER covid measures!

Im so deeply in awe and grateful 🙏 to all the staff who helped me this early in the morning 🌄At around 10:30 I had a minor accident while cleaning my face and my captive bead popped right off my tiny rose gold nose hoop. I searched everywhere but most likely it went down my sink drain. I called three different tattoo and piercing studios. The closest one to me didnt have a piercer on site. I called another one I always went to in the past and she said they arent allowed to place nose jewelry on their clients due to the pandemic. She said I could come in tomorrow, buy a new hoop and leave; but no piercer would agree to helping me with it. I calked a third place and was told the exact same thing---that I can buy whatever I want but no one will assist me. This evening I called this place and Alex the professional tattoo artist was very reassuring and said not only are they open till 2 AM but I can buy any of their nose jewelry and a piercer will fit it in for me on the premises! When I arrived at 1 AM everyone here was very polite and very welcoming. Its incredibly clean here too so Ill come back for new jewelry and a new piercing in the near future. Mandy was my piercest and she lead me to the jewelry case and helped me find a tiny L shaped solid gold stud while I wait a couple weeks for my special order.Mandy even cut an L shaped stud I had for many years that was way too large for my nose 👃She didnt have to do this; but she was eager to help me and now I can use a stud that was unusable to me before. I highly recommend this wonderful piercing/tattoo studio for all your late night, 🌙 🌉 last minute emergencies because everyone here is so peaceful and helpful. I loved my experience ♥ this evening and I urge all locals to come here because of the wonderful professional and skilled services they provide.

Man o man. The Mrs. and I went in for some ear piercings. I was nervous (afraid of needles) even though I already had 2 piercings. Claire the one who handled our piercings definitely made the atmosphere comfortable and bore with me while I calmed the heck down.Piercing was as painless as it could be and precise for both my wife and I. She even helped my wife and I troubleshoot locations for the piercings. Their price was very fair and reasonable as well.I would definitely go back again and recommend to anyone looking to get a piercing done.

Kind, friendly, and super clean shop. Jameson did a great job.

Dont go here honestly its a waste of money tats are ok like fr fr OK not bad but just ok enough not to feel bad about what you got just about how much you spent. Most of em were high on some spacing out staring into space slurring like no other. my artist seemed cool at first till the end wheni told him to shade more and wanted to say thats not what i was asking for for about 2 hrs. The host or w.e tf shes supposed to be has no idea what shes doing took our name down but somehow forgot we were in line untill the shop was empty and she didnt even ask, it was one of the artist. Wish i went with my gut and said nvm. My tat is ok just gonna go get another one somewhere else and tell em to fix it.

Clarie was the best!!!Made my daughter feel comfortable and at ease! She went in for a nose piercing and 1-2-3....she was done.All the staff are professionals and welcoming. Highly recommend this place.

Great place... The piercer was a very professional.. great experience..n I love that it was a female piercer..made me felt very comfortable...i will come back..

Terrible customer service. Looks like they don’t even want to work there. Artwork looks outdated as well.

My experience was terrible the vibe was negative right when my sisters and I walked in. They acted like they did not want to tattoo us. They rolled their eyes and talked to us in a condescending tone.

Took my daughters for ear piercing after several attempts at Claires, followed by infection each time. Well, the level of cleanliness is amazing. Professionalism, customer service, everything. Highly recommend.

Reasonably priced tattoos by awesome artists! Everyone is so nice & knowledgeable. I highly reccomend Jameson. Hes a brilliant artist, very kind and knowledgeable. Sort of a perfectionist, but thats exactly who you want doing your tats! Make an appointment for tattoos during Covid. They are very strict about following all the rules. Temperature checks & hand sanitizer immediately when you walk in the door. They wont even let someone use a pen without sanitizing it first. Which again, is exactly what you want right now! I couldnt be happier with my new tat!!

Always very clean and has nicest piercers ever. Ive gotten my navel, nose, and cartilage pierced here all turned out amazing, hopefully coming back for a tat soon!

Got my nose pierced and the staff was super awesome and friendly.

Effortless experience. Very clean and short wait.

Love my tattoo, first tattoo. Super patience, very clean and vibrate people. I was so nervous at first I ask for the pricing for my tattoo then decide well why wait. And got it done around 1030 ish today... Agata was so nice and friendly, she had conversation with me to help easy my mind. We went to literally 5 different topic! She cares for for her client and her workers. She was very patient with me. The staff was great and nice. I will definitely will be coming back for another tattoo. Thank you so much !

Great customer service they are so friendly. I get my tattoos from Cass and piercings from Mandy

I came in to Chi Town to get some work done on my arm. When Joey finished the tattoo I originally came in for, I set up another appointment right away with him for my next one. I got both done in a week, he did a WONDERFUL job and took his time doing it. He is a VIBE! Anyone planning on getting work done at Chi, ask for JOEY. I’m Coming back soon :) !

I’ve went to this place for two different piercings and i’m so glad i did. prices are amazing and my piercings look so good. i got a conch and septum and they did a great job with placement for both. they were super helpful explaining everything involving aftercare. will come back!

Very professional and well priced

Kenny did me good so youll need to go and ask for him

Love it !! It was my first time doing my tattoo!! Steven did an amazing job!! I REALLY recommend!!

Nice clean place and professional.

Went for a simple tattoo. Have 2 half sleeves already. The tattoo was 5 simple stars. Easy $60 even $80 to up charge me. But artist wanted to charge me $160. Insane what people think they are worth for 10 min of work.

Great music, friendly staff. Id definitely recommend

Great artists. Been going here for years!

Amazing customer service. I have two tattoos from two different artists and both are very professional. Also the women Piercer is very professional. All around a good experience when I go in. Price is a little high but if the work is going to be on u forever and its wonderful work, its best paying a little extra.

Went in to get two tattoos done and sent pictures of what I wanted into the artist Joey 2 days before. I never got the text updating me on the drawings like I was told and then when I came in the 2nd tattoo drawing was all wrong. He then refused to do it the way I wanted telling me it didn’t look good artistically. I am an artist too and trust me it would have been cool, so I will be going in to get it done somewhere else. On top of that, the artist I went in to see said that “someone else could probably handle it”. Not going here again.

I had my nose pierced here, they were very friendly, it was a very clean and appealing shop. With little to no wait time, and a great staff. The following day, by completely my own fault, i hit my piercing and ripped it from its place. I was able to go back and they repaired it for no charge. Would definitely recommend this shop for first time customers for ink and piercings.

Good tattoo artist , no appointments necessary

Kassandra was really nice, and her artistic ability is impressive. I would highly reccommend her for any tattoo.

Awesome atmosphere, great people working there, Marco did excellent work on my latest tattoo. Claire, Sophia & Kenny, top notch folks - Let them know exactly what you want, they’ll get it done well!

Excellent service, very satisfied with my tattoo. Thanks Rafal. 👍💯

Rude people. We made an appointment for 7 pm. Got there on time and was told we only had a consultation appointment. I wanted a simple flower, small. I was told that he couldnt do this and that it would take a long time for him to draw it out!!! The nice girl, either Russian or Polish was quite helpful, but quoted me 200. For a small flower. Oh well, went somewhere else and got a great tattoo for 80. Colored ink. Organization is everything.

A bit pricey but great artist

Walked in on a Saturday night. Got taken care of almost immediately. My tattoo artist was Natalia and she did a great job. Provided clear instructions and was very responsive when I had questions regarding aftercare. Highly recommend.

This was my second time getting a tattoo but first time being here! 10/10. I came in and right away was introduced to my artist. I let him see what I wanted and he made sure he had every bit right including size! Poor Manny he probably reprinted my tattoo design 4 times! I had three small tattoos done with him and he was both fast AND fun! He asked before committing and had “angelic touch” haha. Will def come back to Manny in the near future!

I ve been getting all my work done by Joey for over a year now and couldnt be happier. He is on hell of. Tattooer and would recommend him to anyone. He can do any still of work you show up for and on top of that is just a great dude in general.

Came here today to get my septum pierced and my piercer was super friendly and knowledgeable! Super happy about my experience :)

Loved how Sophia did my tattoo! She took her time and it turned out perfect 😍

Great tattoo artists! I’ve gotten 3/8 tattoos here and plan to keep coming back ☺️

Best clean piercings by Claire. Thank you.

Favorite place by far! Originally went to a different place to get my labret pierced and they messed it up so bad it left terrible scarring. I came here and they were able to repierce it so easily!! The healing process is SO much better this time around as well. Everyone was so nice and made me feel very comfortable. Definitely recommend!

My daughter went here and received her 1st eyebrow pierce and she was satisfied.The staff were nice

Great place. Great employees, kind of hard to gage bc it was so busy for the Friday the 13th special they were doing... Kenny did a great job on our little Jack Skellington Jason mask head.. Very light handed which is much appreciated. 😊

Came in for a septum piercing. Walked in and out under 20 minutes; courteous, clean and professional. would definitely come back.

I have gotten my nose pierced here about 4 months ago, and the process was very smooth, everything went well as planned. The people working there were very welcoming. I would give it 5 stars, however I was not told the aftercare for my piercing when I was finished, but all I can say is, no infections, no nothing!

Ken did great line work

I got my dermal done here and it fell out less than a week later!!!!!! And they won’t redo it for free!!! B.S!Dermals should definitely last a longer than a WEEK!Don’t get pierced here!!!!

I asked for my chef knife with lily flowers and have a picture I didn’t get what I wanted the artist was very nice and gentle but this isn’t what I asked for and I’m very unhappy. The shading in nice but again it’s not what i wanted and this is my birthday tattoo as well so displeased. Just seems like an older typeOf tattoo when I wanted sumthing delicate and kinda dainty. And for the price of $300 i don’t think it was worth it. I don’t think i would come back to this shopAnd this is my 16th tattoo. Fast work and nice people.

Manny is the Guy to see! Have had him do multiple pieces of mine and plan to start my full back piece here soon. Great friendly staff overall the owners wife even took time to see how my experience was going!

I’ve gotten my last 6 tattoos done by Joey and each time was an amazing experience. He’s light handed, patient, and able to take my tattoo requests and make them pieces of art.

Wasn’t pleased with my tattoo at all wasn’t what I asked for while it’s not horrible it’s very outdated I feel like and I wasn’t very pleased the other people who I came with loved their tattoos. I wouldn’t return but the artist was gentle and kind just didn’t give what I asked for I’ll add what I asked for and what I got. I will Most likely get this coveredUp this was my Birthday tattoo and I’mA chef this meant a lot to me and it came out allWrong no disrespect to the shop Or artist I’ve emailed and gotten no response which is okay I don’t want my Money or anything free just for people to know.

I went in for a tribute tattoo for my grandma manny the artist did a fantastic job so happy with his work hands down 💯💯💯

Decent place. Clean, attentive. The fees on the cash machine are too high, so get cash before going.

I have gotten my first three tattoos from Joey and haven’t been disappointed. Very friendly and professional, he has made all my tattoos just as I imagined. I will definitely be going back for more!

Terrible service and poor professionalism!!!!! i do not recommend this place AT ALL

I was super nervous for some reason about getting my nose pierced but they made me feel super comfortable and he talked me through everything😊

Joey snapped on my chicago cubs tattoo and Ive got so many compliments! The artists are so nice and will definitely bring my family and friends here.

Their customer service model should be a model for every business everywhere!I went there because all my life I felt a little uncomfortable with a deformity in my left ear and was thinking (for a long time) how an earring could cover it up. I was thinking to get both ears pierced for symmetry as well. I finally decided to go for it! Here is my story:I was immediately greeted by a super friendly gentleman who clearly knew how to check in with customers and manage requests. He also walked me around the store to show me my options of jewelry as well! He made me laugh a couple times!Next I was taken to another room by the piercing expert Michael who matched my pace through the whole process. Michael made me feel very at ease by explaining to me exactly what he was doing every step of the way. Again I mainly wanted my left ear pierced and was possibly planning on doing the right if it felt comfortable. Michael gave me no pressure whatsoever to do the right ear and seemed to sympathize with me what its like to be a first timer. He explained the whole healing process in detail to me!I left the store having only done the left side which I chose because Michael advised me that sleeping might be difficult if I had done both. However, Im certain I will be back soon to get my other ear done!Thank you to everyone who works here for such an amazing experience! I highly recommend your store to everyone looking for any sort of body amplifications!

Don’t ever come here I just went to get a micro dermal piercing and I asked them to make sure the jewelry was the same size as the other one I had in my face ( I was getting a second one). After me asking twice they assured me they had the same size in stock and proceeded to pierce my face with a bigger stud she then covered it up with a Band-Aid and told me not to take the Band-Aid off for two weeks knowing my face looks stupid when I asked why she did it she said she didn’t have the other size jewelry in stock but couldn’t give me an answer as to why she didn’t tell me before proceeding with the piercing

Friendly staff, great art, clean

JoeyT is a great artist he was gental and caring and fast gave proper way to keep tatto clean a safe

Im actually disappointed. I just wanted a simple tattoo to cover up a name. The guy the put me with wanted to do a 2 giant roses to cover up a name 3 inches long. I told him I didn’t want anything that big an he just wasn’t interested and started making up excuses. 5 tattoo artist and no one want to touch it. I guess not enough money. 🤷🏽 thanks.
