While my brother was here recently, he wanted to get a tattoo to commemorate his visit. I highly…read morerecommended Deluxe Tattoo here in Chicago. 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.

The space was comfortable and clean, and everyone was so nice and helpful. I got an arguably silly tattoo, but they took it seriously from start to finish! I've felt awkward about asking for weird or specific tattoos before, but I felt so at home and respected here, even being from out of town! It was an easy and fun experience, and the cost was well below what I expected to pay for a quality tattoo in this day and age, especially work as nice as I got. I'm not local to the area so I can't say if I'll be back anytime soon, but will definitely be recommending this lovely shop to my friends in the region!

Next visit = tattoo!

They told me all this after the fact they took my $100 deposit. Then when I told them I wanted my deposit back they told me it wasn't refundable. Why would you pay $100 deposit and pay for your tattoo up front before getting your tattoo. So now I'm out of $100 and I had to report this tattoo shop. Do not go here.

I even challenged her by asking her to do my forearm tattoo upside down (facing me) which she did and it looks amazing. All three healed super well. I will definitely come back to Cori!

By far the worst tattoo shop I've gone to…read more... 2 years ago I got 2 small tattoos (I was a walk in) and both the experience and the tattoos themselves are horrible. For reference I have over 10 tattoos have gone to many shops now. Firstly, a tattoo on my arm, the artist (still works at the shop) did NOT prep the skin or shave the spot until I told them and now that its 2 years old its super faded and sloppy line work. Then for my second tattoo, its splotchy and wobbly. The artist could pull a clean line to save their life. Its so embarrassing to have this on my skin... forever. I do not recommend. Seriously. Do not go here I don't even know how they have 5 stars.
