No matter what you go to Krol Body Art for, you will leave one happy customer. Traditional tattoos, tribal, portraits, animals... no matter what you have in mind, I can promise you, you WILL get the best job done. I am one of the pickiest people in Chicago when it comes to artists and piercers. I have many tattoos and 90% of them were done by P Krol. He is working on my left sleeve at the moment. We have about half of it done already, and I have people stopping me at the stores, clubs, restaurants etc... to compliment on my excellent work. My friends were told by their parents that they will ONLY allow them tattoos, if they will get it done by MY tattoo artist. P Krol is the best tattoo artist I know. The staff working at Krol Body Art, will just after one visit feel like your family. Everyone is super friendly and kind. They know you walk in nervous, a little uneasy, and they will try to make the surroundings as comfortable as possible for you. You will really fall in love with the people and the place, not wanting to leave and just hang around and have a great time :) Now the piercer. just like I know that P is the best tattoo artist you could find, Loki is the best piercer. And I am dead serious. Before I found Loki, I made few mistakes and went somewhere else. And it always ended up with me getting infections and being forced to get rid of my new body decoration. When I went to Loki, I experienced care no other piercer ever gave me. Other piercers were very quick to get me off of their hands, not gentle and very careless. Loki took his time to make me comfortable and relaxed. He talked to me and explained all my questions to me. He was very gentle and tried to make it as painless for me as possible. And the most important, all of my piercings done by Loki healed very quickly without any problems at all. I got 7 piercings done by Loki and I will never even consider going to anyone else. He really is the best. So go visit Krol Body Art, I can promise you that you will fall in love with that place as much as I have. read more

This is my first time ever writing a google review on any business or anyone. I'm doing this for all you guys out there that are looking for the perfect tattoo studio just because I know how difficult it is to find "THE ONE". It was very difficult for me to find the studio and the right artist, almost six years I was planning, I was searching ON and OFF until I finally decided KROL is THE ONE. Today is the day, so I picked up the phone and made an appointment with Przemek, and that's where my journey began. Getting tattooed by a hip-hop legend was already mind blowing let me tell you. Not even 5min talking one on one was enough time for me to realize he is not just a hip hop star that knows how to tattoo people, he is way more than that. I'm thinking inside my head, I'm dealing with someone that takes pride in their work. Simply an artist with passion for what they do. I wanted to do a sleeve that was VERY sentimental for me, because it's In loving memory of my daughter. I was very indecisive and scared. With a ton of ideas pilling up in my head over the years. Simply because, this is more than just ink on my body. For years I couldn't put all my ideas together better than he did in just a few minutes of us talking. I truly couldn't be more satisfied with my results. It makes me smile every single day I look at it! I swear!! An awesome and just an amazing person to deal with! The staff is very professional and everyone makes you feel welcome. Ania is the nicest, she provides extremely great customer service and is also very professional. Just in general a GREAT ENVIRONMENT! The place is very well put together, the studio is EXTREMELY clean. PLEASE LOOK NO FURTHER TAKE MY WORD THIS IS...THE ONE! I GUARANTEE YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! DEFINITELY WORTH THE WAIT! read more

Krol body art is definitely one of the best Tattoo and piercing shops in Chicago. Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. This place is definitely where you want to get your next Tattoo. P Krol is a amazing artist with experience to match. I have been getting a back piece by P and he has made the whole experience fun and pressure free. He works closely with his staff and even his apprentice's are far better than any store brand tattoo shop artist. There is a talented staff that work together to insure only quality work comes out of the shop. Also the shop is beautiful with artwork hanging from the walls instead of cheap hand drawn tattoos to chose from. This is a CUSTOM tattoo shop with an atmosphere of creativity. You wont see better work coming out of the crappy brand name shops like Fade Dragon.. Highly talented ARTISTS and P Krol is by far one of the best in the entire city. If you are looking for a tattoo it would be pointless to go anywhere else.... read more

Bottom line is Krol Body Art is the place to get tattooed and pierced in this city. their work and their staff is what sets them apart from all other shops you will find no typical "Artist" attitudes here, come as strangers leave as friends. Every person in the shop is very friendly and is there to help you with whatever questions you may have. almost all my work is done by P Krol (owner) and there is not a day that goes by that I don't get compliments on my work. P is the ONLY person to go to in Chicago for portraits. I also have a piece from Nicole who is just starting out in the industry but is already quickly working her way up. with that said the talent doesn't stop there, Nikk does amazing color work, and Jerry is great at black and gray. Loki is the piercer and he is top notch at his trade. come check the shop out, its the best in the city, and I guarantee you will not be disappointed! read more

My first impression of this tattoo parlor is that it totally doesn't feel like one... its more like a European art gallery. The people there are very cordial and they really work hard to help people get the best tattoos. Their work is AMAZING. You have to come see for yourself. I saw a lot of their work on their websites, either on facebook, myspace, and even the krolbodyart.com site. The amount of awards that hang on the walls and sit on the shelves is very impressive.. at this point, you know you are dealing with professional people. I'd say anyone researching tattoo artists in the chicagoland area can just stop here... people truly get their money's worth and leave with beautiful works of art! read more

By far, one of the best tattoo shops in the chicago area. Why? Because i said so, seriously,extremely talented staff and very clean. P,the owner, specializes in photo realism and in my opinion is one of the best portrait tattoo artist out there. Nikk is insane at color tattoos, the way that he blends color is very top notch. Jerry 's technique at grey wash is awesome and Nicole's impressive style lends itself to clients looking for "traditional" tattoos. Loki is the shop piercer and is APP certified and only uses the highest quality jewelry and equipment. Again Super clean, friendly staff, and great work, the key ingredients in making this one of the best shops in the city. read more
