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.

After looking on Yelp, I decided that I liked the reviews here and happy to report they are accurate! Bob was super patient and helpful picking both the new placement and jewelry, which I would have never thought of myself since the stud with chain is typically used on the helix. He was also just super easy to chat with and while closing up, he even went the extra mile to send the antibacterial soap to my place since I wasn't checking in a bag. 10000% recommend Bob!

He decided on the Chicago flag, which was interesting to me because as a child, Chicago wasn't his favorite place but as an adult, he had fallen in love with Chicago. I already have a Chicago flag tattoo, but when I saw the most beautiful rendition that Claudio at Deluxe created for my brother, I knew it was time to restate my love for this city and my brother with matching tattoos. I am on the left (my right outer wrist) and my brother on the right (his left forearm). Can't wait to see how these look when they are completely healed. My brother was a walk in, and he was fortunate enough to get Claudio and my tattoo was a follow up, scheduled appointment two days later. Claudio had my design ready to go when I walked in, no waiting. So kind, gentle and talented.

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!
