    I was very disappointed with my most recent experience with Freedom Ink. I have been going to Tim and Freedom Ink for 12 years now. He did my first tattoo and 80% of all my tattoo work. I now live in Texas and wanted to add onto a half sleeve Tim did, so I called and set up an appointment in September inquiring around Christmas. The front desk person said he had an opening on December 24th first thing when the shop opens. I asked if he was sure they were open that day, as I expected them to be closed. He reassured me they were open. He then proceeded to ask Tim if it was okay I booked a double-time slot that day since I don't plan on coming back to Peoria often and they went ahead with the booking. Only after that was confirmed, I made travel arrangements to come back for the holidays based around this appointment. I was not planning a trip home without this tattoo appointment given the pandemic and additional cost of flying home. A little over two weeks before I was due to fly out, I get a call that they are in fact closed on Christmas Eve and the next available wasn't until after I was flying home. I asked if they could see about switching out someone else's appointment who was local, as I had done previously for someone else when I still lived in Peoria. I'm not sure if that was attempted or not but Kai, a different front desk person than before, let me know that Tim would reach out and personally try to work this out. Tim never called me. In fact, I called the shop back four different times over the next week trying to get an answer. Tim did finally Facebook message me after a week of me calling the shop and said I'd probably have to reschedule or refund. I asked if it was possible to come in before the shop opened at 11am on the 23rd since this was in no way my fault and I was coming from out of state for this appointment. That request wasn't even addressed. He just said I'd have to cancel or reschedule. Kai was very understanding and sympathetic and honestly was the only thing that made this encounter bearable, but Tim lacked the professionalism and customer service that I expected from him. As a long-time, repeat customer who has referred countless people to not only his shop, but him personally, I felt like I was really left out to dry in this scenario. This was their mistake and they did nothing to fix it or make up for it. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Tim or his shop for any future tattoos, which is a bummer because he does great work. I just can't support someone who treats his customers like this, though. *Edited to add photos and clarify a couple things.

    Great experience overall. I can't honestly come up with one critique. Easy to get an appointment and was even called when a cancelation occurred to get in sooner. Tim worked very closely with me for the design and gave great artist inputs to get the best tattoo possible. He did amazing work.

    I had my first tattoo yesterday with Tim Beck. I brought in a written script and discussed the adjustments I had in mind..he listened carefully and exceeded my expectations in every way. Would highly recommend this amazing artist!

    Yesterday I finally did it , I got my first Tattoo by the AMAZING Tim Beck at Freedom Ink in peoria ! To say I am honored to be tattooed by him is an understatement. This is a tribute to my Dad! When I go back I am going to have I am because you were put under it . Thank you so much Tim , I love this so much and I can't wait until June to get my next peice! If anyone is looking for a amazing place to get a tattoo Freedom ink is your place !

    Got A Tattoo On 11/10/20 - I Cannot Rave Enough About This Place! Sam Did A Fantastic Job And Everyone Was So Fun And Professional! Great Value For Such Amazing Work!!! Can't Wait To Post Healed Pictures But Here's A Couple Still Healing Ones

    They were rude and put me off. I did not feel welcome and felt like they had no interest in doing a tattoo for me. I recommended the shop to a friend whose son passed away and they treated her really bad, then charged way too much for what she got. My daughter got a 4 on the side of her wrist the size of a dime and they charged her $75. I won't go there again and I certainly won't recommend it to anyone.

    Best tattoo experience... I've gotten three tattoos and am in the process of getting my sleeve done... It so nice to find a place in Peoria that you can give an idea and trust the artists that they will create something better than you in visioned... I would highly recommend Freedom Ink and all the artists are equally as talented.

    Tattoo from Tim! He looked at the mold from my dog's paw and gave me a beautiful memory!

    First time at the shop and first tattoo with Tim. I was impressed with the shop and how clean it was! Tessa was great on the phone and in person, super easy to work with! Everyone was professional from start to finish! I have tattoos from others, Tim is the Best! He was quick and precise. I am very happy with my tattoo, I would definitely recommend Tim and Freedom Ink!

    Tim did an amazing tattoo for me this afternoon... I will be back for more from him and the other guys in the shop... Place was clean and fun to be in... I would recommended this shop to anyone looking for a killer tattoo

    Over priced and lazy. I said 3 times what I wanted and was ignored only to end up with something I hate.

    Sin in Skin Ink - Hand tattoos I wanted

    Sin in Skin Ink

    What I got vs. what I wanted.... Artist did not remember…read moreplacements even when told multiple times. Did not stencil properly and used sharpie to "fix" it. Used sharpie to free hand and when messed up, did not wipe away, went to get different color sharpie. When finished did not ask if I liked it. Line-work was poor. When asked to be fixed, resistant to criticism. Was very uncomfortable and stopped mid session. Not satisfied. Left having to pay $125. Follow up: I honestly did not want to come back but I was very upset especially over the holidays with seeing family and knowing that the poor craftwork from Alex and Billy is permanent. Although Billy did say he would do a free touch up (as if he is used to having to correct his apprentices' work), he very much so gaslighted me. I lose out on $125 for a PERMANENT and poorly done tattoo that I am not satisfied with. My advice to all is to thoroughly do research before going to Sin In Skin Ink or just do NOT go at all.

    My suggestion is to do serious research before going to this establishment. I personally was…read morethinking of getting a tattoo here, but after numerous friends of mine had bad experiences I will take my business elsewhere. I have heard nothing but negative things from their patrons ranging from a rude staff/owner to not taking suggestions or concerns of clients seriously. One of my close friends was so uncomfortable after voicing concerns about the look of the piece that she ended the session early due to hostility from the owner and artist. If you have a piece very important to you, I suggest you take it elsewhere.
