After an exhaustive search to try and get my state map filled in with the state of Indiana I…read moremanaged to find this shop. When I called I got Kent in the phone, I explained to him my situation and he told me he could squeeze me in for the day if I could get there. From the minute I showed up Kent was attentive worked with me to make sure what I wanted was perfect and had some sick ideas. This may seem normal to some people, but he was filling in a state 1 inch by 1 inch, and this dude was focused on this as if it was a brand new masterpiece (that's above and beyond in my book). Guy worked on this and absolutely made it a sick addition to my states, guy was full of great stories and just a funny dude. I couldn't recommend this shop or Kent more. Check out his Instagram @kgtattoos_13 because he does absolutely sick work. I can't wait to come back here and get him to do some other work on me, where he has a little more freedom.

Tony MELTED absolutely killed it!…read more I've now trusted Tony with two tattoos, and I seriously cannot recommend him enough. He breathed life and ink back into my butterfly tattoo, transforming an older piece into something beautiful again and making it the perfect first part of a memorial half sleeve that means so much to me. Then came my newest celestial tattoo -- a design I created myself and was really excited about. Tony took my vision and absolutely nailed it. The detail, linework, placement, and execution came together better than I could have imagined. Beyond being an incredibly talented artist, Tony makes the whole experience comfortable and chill. No awkwardness, no stress -- just good conversation, good vibes, and a great artist doing what he does best. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your skin and your vision, go see Tony MELTED at Cry Babies Tattoo in St. John. I highly recommend him to literally anyone and everyone. I already know this won't be my last tattoo with him!

I loved my experience here.

We will be back to Cry Babies for sure. These guys do not judge you, treat you with respect and did I mention, LOVE THEIR CRAFT? The vibe at Cry Babies is also chill, clean and comfortable.

So while at the 2017 Chicago Villain Arts Tattoo Convention I walked around and browsed through…read moreartists. I normally go home, search their artwork through Instagram and if I like their work add them. Fast forward 2018. I was at the convention getting tattooed and picked up a very talented artists card..Emilio Saylor. I knew I'd never be able to afford this artists work. Fast forward to the summer...I decided to invest in a tattoo. I drove an hour and a half to chat with Emilio for a few minutes and give a deposit. Few months later I was all ready to get tatted. I had told him that I wanted my kneecap tattoo since no one seems to want to do it, he was up for the challenge and like the dark matter of the tattoo. Unfortunately, my knee isn't a good shape for the subject matter. I was bummed. He put the stencil on my knee to show what it would look like and he was correct..it looked bad. So he suggested the shin. I decided to go with it, not knowing how I felt about it but how I wanted an Emilio Saylor tattoo. Emilio works fast. And he is a PERFECTIONIST. I felt so comfortable. The music really relaxed me and the shop is spotless. Kerri the owner was a doll through getting me setup with my consultation and everything. When I was done I was FLOORED by how amazing the tattoo turned out! He charged me less than I thought it would be. He seemed to love it as well! He loves creating darker tattoos. It's awesome when you LOVE your tattoo and your artists actually enjoyed doing it. It is my FAVORITE tattoo and my friends and coworkers kept asking to see it. A few months ago I saw a piece on Instagram he wanted to rehome. I decided I wanted him to do another shin piece so both my shins would be done by him before I moved out of the Midwest. I emailed Kerri. Literally two or three short emails, sent her a deposit, and then walked in blindly yesterday to see my tattoo for the first time. BLOWN AWAY by the drawing! Emilio is on another level! He placed it perfectly on my other shin and now I can say I have some sexy ass shin tattoos all because of Emilio Saylor. He needs more recognition, his talented is out of this world. Seriously, I love the shop. I don't mind the drive for a kickass, top notch tattoo by an award winning artist. I can't thank Emilio Saylor and Ink or Swim Tattoo enough for the amazing work!!

If I could rate this place with more stars I absolutely would. We went in here to get 7 people…read moretattooed in one day with Emilio. Not only was the organization leading up to the appointment incredible, but Kerri answered everyone's questions and concerns (and there were a LOT). Once getting there, Emilio was incredibly patient and professional throughout the entire visit. We were there for 7 and a half hours and he walked each individual person through their tattoo and what would work best for them. At no point did I feel rushed or like anyone wasn't getting all of their questions or concerns answered. He was as enthusiastic and wonderful with the first person as he was with the last. We had a few first timers and he took such good care of each of them and was incredibly accommodating. Again, I can't speak highly enough about this experience. My family isn't the easiest or quietest group of people and he handled us in stride. This tattoo shop and the experience we had here made an already meaningful tattoo even more special.

It almost looks like the actual print was scanned and screen printed onto my arm. If you're thinking about getting some work done, I wouldn't hesitate to choose Jessica as your artist. Honestly, all of the artists there had some great examples in their sample books, and I went with Jessica based on some paw prints she had done and posted to social media, but you probably can't go wrong with anyone there. The studio itself was clean and the rooms were private (or at least mine was, as we were the only ones in there). I plan on doing some more in the future, and I already know exactly who I'm going with then. Thanks again Jessica!
