I had an excellent experience getting my septum pierced by Maddie in June. She explained everything…read moreclearly as she went through the process. She pierced me in a great spot so healing was easy and PAINLESS. The environment is clean and quiet. The additional jewelry they sell is very nice though out of my price range. They have a few lower priced options though! I had an excellent experience and will be recommending this business for piercings!

I'll start by saying this was one of the best experiences I've had in a while. I went to Iris…read morePiercing Studio to get my earlobes pierced for the first time. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Juice. She had a bubbly personality and was eager to answer every question I had. She made sure I got exactly what I came for by helping me find the ideal ring size and materials for me. Then I was passed over to Matty, my piercer. I could tell right away that she had a ton of experience. She made me feel super comfortable while also making sure I had all the information I needed before getting pierced. The actual piercing process was super quick and smooth, which made the experience even better. I honestly can't wait to go back for my 6-8 week check-in. Whether you're getting pierced for the first time or adding to your collection, you should definitely check this spot out.

The space was comfortable and clean, and everyone was so nice and helpful. I got an arguably silly tattoo, but they took it seriously from start to finish! I've felt awkward about asking for weird or specific tattoos before, but I felt so at home and respected here, even being from out of town! It was an easy and fun experience, and the cost was well below what I expected to pay for a quality tattoo in this day and age, especially work as nice as I got. I'm not local to the area so I can't say if I'll be back anytime soon, but will definitely be recommending this lovely shop to my friends in the region!

Shout out Michael Tofano for his awesome work on my walk-in tattoo on Saturday!…read more Walked in around 2:30, looked through alllllll their flashes. Extra thanks to the service staff for pulling portfolios behind the counter!! After settling on my design and sizing, I was able to get on a table by 4:30 (went next door to look at records to kill time while the artist finished with his previous client-- check them out!!) Chicago Tattooing is welcoming, clean, easy to work with, and employs only the most qualified artists. You're in great hands regardless of which artist you work with! I will ALWAYS recommend Chicago Tattooing to anyone. Whether it's your first or your fortieth, this place will take care of you.

He got his first ever piercing done here: a side nostril(he plans to switch to a hoop). I got my septum done here by Rosemary, and it healed up nicely! It did not hurt at all when she did it! Was completely unaware the needle went in even! Painless!!! I also got my belly button pierced here in February on Valentine's Day special, with Karen. Belly button also is healing up nicely! As they use high quality jewelry, and all the piercers here clearly know what they are doing! Planning to come back again for my birthday to get a lip piercing. Also in July planning on coming to get my second ever tattoo done with Mercy!!!

They told me all this after the fact they took my $100 deposit. Then when I told them I wanted my deposit back they told me it wasn't refundable. Why would you pay $100 deposit and pay for your tattoo up front before getting your tattoo. So now I'm out of $100 and I had to report this tattoo shop. Do not go here.

I would recommend Itzel for any piercing. I worked with her for a Prince Albert piercing, and was…read morevery impressed with her professonalism. I found Itzel through the Association of Professional Piercers website (https://safepiercing.org/find-a-piercer/). Prior to the appointment, I was more worried about an awkward experience than I was about pain. However, Itzel was extremely professional and approachable. She explained the entire process, took her time to get everything right, and made me feel very comfortable from start to finish.

So far everything is healing nicely and I can't wait to start wearing my own gorgeous earrings.

Bob is seriously the best! I went to him for a couple of new ear piercings, and he was so patient…read morewith me while we figured out the perfect placement and jewelry. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, but he helped pick pieces that I absolutely love.   I'm also a hypochondriac AND a side sleeper, so naturally I managed to irritate a couple of my piercings. When I reached out, Bob was incredibly kind and reassuring. He went above and beyond to check that everything was healing properly and even changed one of my posts to a longer one to help with the swelling.   He's professional, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely cares about his clients even after the piercing is done. I couldn't recommend him more. 10/10!

Jenny Gomez (The Peircer) also asked me questions like "Where you held down a lot as a kid?" And told me " a lot of parents try to get their minor children piercings and tattoos here" not sure why they told me that. Whole vibe was off, felt harassed the entire time... I called over the phone a few months later to see if they could fix it, and the man on the phone said "Usually people bitch about and fix there tattoos once it finishes healing." and "Jerry is here every day, you could stalk him" It's going to take 3k to remove it! Would not trust anyone at this shop, avoid at all costs!

From the start of our communication, he was extremely responsive and answered all my questions. It took a while for me to finally pull the trigger, but when I did, he was able to squeeze me in fairly quickly since it was a pretty small tattoo. Loved his work ethic and the quality of his work. He walked me through the whole process and made sure I loved the weight of the lines and the placement. In the middle of everything, he even recommended that I take a quick breather and drink some water since I started to get really warm during the process. (I had no idea your body temp can fluctuate as a reaction to getting a tattoo.) When my tattoo was done, I really appreciated that he talked through the care process thoroughly. Love my tattoo! It's exactly what I wanted and that means a lot to me!

DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE. I got my first piercings here (double lobes), and within a month my right…read moreear swelled so severely that the skin completely grew over the piercing. I reached out for advice immediately but before they had gotten back, the skin had already grown over my earrings. As I am a student and can't afford to go to the ER, I had no choice but to rip the earring out of my ear through brute force. It was very traumatic, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt as someone did reply to my text two hours after I had ripped the piercing out and the piercer had not been in that day. However, a month later, the exact same thing happened to my right ear. This happened despite me cleaning my piercings twice a day and never changing the jewelry. This time, I removed the backing so that the front part of the earring could hang as far away from my skin as possible. The pain was so bad I couldn't sleep at night. The piercer must have made the earrings too tight which allowed my skin to heal over them instead of in between the front and the backing. I messaged them again asking for help, followed up multiple times, and have now gone over a week without any response. I understand that complications can happen with piercings, but completely ignoring a client who is experiencing a potentially serious issue is unacceptable. Proper aftercare includes being available to advise clients when problems arise. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise to steer clear of this shop. I have attached pictures of my piercings for reference and screenshots of our conversation.
