Lombard & Villa Park have become a hot zone for tattoo shops on the rise. Just in the past 5 yrs…read morealone we've had 6 parlors spring up from outta nowhere. It's crazy, but as wonderful as it may be, Connor MacLeod was right when he said, " In the end there can be only one!" And that one shall be Vintage Voodoo Tattoo of Villa Park. They opened up circa 2019 located in the lower business level of shops directly beneath Josephine's. Upon entering the establishment you might feel as if you just entered the Twighlight Zone lol Vintage VooDoo is a treasure cove of antiques, magic and nostalgia that'll remind you of your childhood. From Ouija boards to shrunken heads, VVT is far beyond your average boring parlor. It's more of an experience. They have a magnificent roster of experienced talented artists and piercers who take pride in their craft. As far the shop rates go, just like anywhere else the prices will vary. But I will say this, for the quality of work you'll find with these artists, the price will fit the piece. Your time and money will not go to waste. Overall, I highly recommend this parlor. From the colorful personalities to the unique atmosphere, Vintage Voodoo is an excellent shop to frequent if ink is your thing. The only thing I would suggest is to book an appointment in advance. They do take walk-ins but they also get very busy at times. So getting penciled in on their calendar only works to your advantage.

On the rework for my old tattoo, there was more pain than on the first one-- being scar tissue and what not. Andrew was dope and talked me through it, he came in clutch when I needed it! Thanks dude. The line work on my new piece is so pretty! He took his time setting up and following sanitation processes, which I loved. They use these dope bandages, similar to what they stick an IV on you with in the ER, I don't recall the proper name. Anyway, this guy's got a great hand and was super gentle, and super chill. I read reviews regarding bad customer service, and I mean, I didn't get that at all. One guy there, I didn't catch his name, was super extroverted and i would dare say bordered on social butterfly level, while everyone else seemed more introverted. You know what, that's okay, not everyone has to be extroverted. I enjoyed my experience a lot. And can't wait to go back. Thanks y'all!

I don't think I've ever met a more compassionate and kind human being. He asked me about my family, and how I was feeling. I shared things I don't typically share with people. He is an absolutely beautiful person. I left there feeling so much better. I think he may have missed his calling as a Counselor. I love the tattoo. He is an amazing artist.

I paid $300 for a tattoo from one of their artists named Alex Banh and she did not give me what I…read morepaid for. She covered the tattoo with a wrap after she said she was finished didn't show it to me. No other artist has ever done that before because they always hand me a mirror and ask me what I think of it. She was pretending to be nice though, so I didn't think much of it. I even gave her a tip when I paid because I planned on coming back to get more. She told me that the tattoo would be more visible after a few days, which I should have known was strange. Days pass and the tattoo was not very visible at all, so I contacted her on instagram because that was the only way I could contact her. She told me to give it about two more weeks for the tattoo to heal and then she could do a touch up. After two more weeks I contacted her and she said give it another week or two for it to fully heal and then she could give it a touch up. After several weeks I let her know that I was having to go back to work because I don't live in the state and asked when she could redo the tattoo because it isn't visible at all. She told me that she was booked for the rest of the month and had no openings even though I had already paid her $300 and tipped her. She got an attitude with me basically like she was trying to create a fight, so she would have an excuse to not fix the tattoo. She wrote me long paragraphs on instagram of nonsense and never in those paragraphs asked me when I could come back in for the touch up. She tried to blame it on my skin tone, but I have other tattoos in yellow ink and they show up fine on my skin. She never took responsibility for the bad job she did and then said that she would not work with me again and blocked my instagram. She made a thousand excuses, but there is no excuse. I was a paying customer and I didn't get what I paid for.

Earlier today, I decided it was finally time to get my third tattoo. I had a general idea of what…read moreto get but wasn't entirely sure and figured I could get some help from an artist to complete my idea. Naturally, a quick google search resulted in a ton of options but I was familiar with the Warrenville area and drive by Noodles Tattoo Studio almost daily. The reviews were great and reading the FAQ section, I learned they took walk-in's, which isn't all that common these days. After reading this, I gave Noodle's a quick call and they advised they were very booked but would immediately call if anything opened up. About 45 minutes later they called with availability and I couldn't be happier that they did because I will never go anywhere else to get my tattoos in the future. Upon entering, the shop I noticed it was extremely clean and had a very homey feeling with some amazing art on the wall. I was greeted by Noodle (the owner of course), who was extremely down to earth, friendly and willing to assist me with my idea and answer any questions I had, which was a lot because I hadn't gotten a tattoo in over 8 years. After about only 20 minutes, my idea was already on the tracer paper, looked great and I was ready to go. Overall, Noodle was extremely professional the entire time, asking if I was okay and making sure I was comfortable during the entire process. I couldn't be happier with how the tattoo turned out and everybody else working around him was very welcoming and I felt like I had been going there for years. The price of the tattoo was extremely cheap. Cheaper than I paid for my other tattoos, which were much smaller. I could not recommend this place enough. If you are looking to get new tattoos, make sure you go to Noodles Tattoo Studio. From now on, I will always be loyal to this place. Easily the best experience I have ever had getting a tattoo.
