She asked me if she could get this on her forearm and I agreed. We learned that you have to be 18 in Illinois to get a tat, and she's just shy of 16. It is legal with parental consent in Indiana, so after doing some research in good, reputable places, we made an appointment and roadtripped to Indiana. Our appointment was with Jim, who explained everything thoroughly and was very friendly and kind. 45 minutes later we were done and my daughter couldn't be happier.

Unfortunately had to wait a few hours but what do you except if you didn't make a appointment? The tattoo experience was great and the artist Louis knew what he was doing.

Idk but there it is. $40 for a simple outline...yeah. I do love my little bunny though

Do your research before patronizing this establishment. I came to Chicago Heights Tattoo & Piercing…read morefor nipple and belly button piercings after it was recommended to by a friend. Not sure if this friend has ever been serviced here or if her recommendation was solely based on her living/working nearby, but I regret ever coming here. Firstly my piercer Noemi was extremely rude, supposedly they have signage posted stating that people other than the piercee are not allowed into the piercing area without the piercer's permission (probably so that there are no witnesses to her botched piercings). Despite receiving nipple piercings I was provided no privacy (a male employee and another employee's children wandered into my piercing area during my appointment, I was also pierced in direct view of the establishment's security cameras). When I texted Noemi regarding an issue with my piercing a week later, I was told to fix it myself or to come in at a fee. I had done some research on nipple piercings prior to coming in and how the initial barbell is typically longer to accommodate swelling. My barbell was extremely short and the balls on the ends eventually began putting pressure on my nipples creating migration of my piercing and difficulty cleaning and eroding of the skin around my nipples. Considering the previous experience I had with this establishment, I sought out a professional second opinion at a shop with experienced piercers in Wicker Park only to find out that not only were my barbells too short and balls too small (should be long enough to see 1 mm of the barbell on either side of the nipple to accommodate swelling in the initial healing phase especially, which an experienced piercer would/should know) but that Noemi had also pierced into my areola on both breasts which could delay my healing process and would require custom barbells whenever changing my jewelry. Because of the risk for adverse healing due to this botched piercing, I agreed with this more experienced piercer that the best course of action was removing the piercings and repiercing once the wounds heal. So now $80 down the drain and wounds on both breasts that will hopefully heal without incident. TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE.

I've lived around the area and have gone with others for pieces before Daniel and his wife took over the shop. I like the changes they've made to the place. The shop is easy to get ahold of, you can call, DM them on Instagram, or I think even message them on Facebook. I've called and messaged them on Instagram and the response time for their reply is usually within an hour or two at most. Everyone there is easy to talk to and relaxed. The shop is a clean and calm environment. Daniel is a hilarious human being and will make sure you're confident with the piece before he starts. All of the art on the walls shows off the incredible talent of the team. If you're looking for a piece, check this place out!

Nice place, cool artists and very clean too. I lost my…read morevirginity here... being my first time, I was nervous. The thought of it going through me freaked me out... I was imagining mass amounts of pain, blood and to be unceremoniously kicked out of the room with a "thanks, it was fun" after the deed was done, inevitably taking the dreaded walk of shame to my car as people laughed at the tears in my eyes. BTW... I'm talking about piercings, getcha mind outta the gutter (-_-) It took about 30 minutes in all. Paperwork was about 5 minutes, setting up the equipment was another 5, then idle chit chat and 'how to care for' took up another 24.5 minutes. The piercing(eyebrow) took about 15 seconds including cleaning(before), clamping and actual needle through eyebrow which was like half a second of... "meeeerp!!!" followed by my eyes tearing up as if I just watched that scene in 'White Fang' where Jack throws rocks at the wolf or 'Dances with Wolves' where Two Socks gets shot :'( Blah... tangent... evasive maneuvers... Anyway, Jordan was who did my piercing. She was awesome, friendly, answered any of my crazy little 'what if I...?' questions and gave detailed yet concise instructions for cleaning and care for my new piercing. She was also very cool about letting me know what exactly this whole piercing thing will entail besides "stick a needle through ___" which is all I knew about piercings. There's clamps and cleaning and marking stuff and looking twice at it... hell I though they'd bring out a survey team any second. OK, in all seriousness though, what I'm trying to get across is PRECISION... not just prick it and stick it. I couldn't be happier with my choice to go to Sure Fire and am very glad to have gotten Jordan as the one to give my piercing cherry to... she even gave me her hours and number to call in case I needed to talk (about the piercing). I'll be going back for more... maybe touch up some of my tattoos before summer, or get a new one. SYOY
