    Love love love this place. It's been years since I've gotten ink in Chicago, and having moved back to the area just over a year ago I've been itching to get something new. Blair was great, extremely light hand and banged it out quick. Darrell (owner) and Blair are nice and laid back, no up selling here. BTW Blair also fixed up a cartilage piercing (gone wrong) for me in 10 minutes and charged me 10 bucks including the jewelry. If you're looking for a small friendly shop with no BS and no ego, this us the place to go.

    What I think separates Darrell is that he really thought about how to work with the design, and sort of "got" me.

    After getting three piercings here, I can say that my interactions have been nothing but top notch…read more I fully plan on going back for more piercings!! Thanks to all of them for being professional and helpful! As a response to the comment by F.U. from 2 weeks ago: I was wondering if you would review via Yelp. I was in the studio the day you and your child were in and was mortified by how rude you were to the piercer and staff. So much so, in fact, that I apologized for you. You're welcome. You were determined to have the piercer tell you what you wanted to hear, rather than what their training and certifications has taught them. Shame on you for treating people the way you did, in front of your child. What an example to set.

    I'm splitting this review into two experiences because they were honestly very different…read more 2021 | Nostril Piercing (5 stars) I had my nostril pierced by Jeff in 2021, and it was genuinely a great experience. I first came in for a consultation and then returned about a month later for the actual piercing. Jeff walked me through the process, explained everything, and made me feel comfortable. We chatted the entire time, which says a lot because I'm not naturally a super chatty person. The piercing healed beautifully, and I kept the original jewelry in for almost five years. May 2026 | Jewelry Change / Replacement (2 stars) Fast forward to May 2026, I bumped my nose at work and my jewelry fell out. I had already been wanting to switch out my jewelry, so I figured this was the universe giving me a reason. I booked a same-day appointment online, which was super convenient. This visit, however, felt like a completely different experience. The front desk staff member greeted me, but the interaction felt disengaged and not particularly welcoming from the start. I was explaining what happened and mentioning that I'd had my original jewelry in since 2021. While she kindly offered to place my old jewelry in a baggie, which I appreciated, the overall interaction felt very transactional rather than consultative. I specifically asked for recommendations for everyday, long-term wear jewelry because I don't plan on changing it often. I also asked about rose gold for everyday wear, hoping for a little guidance from someone who works with jewelry every day. The response I got was basically, "Why not?" It came across dismissive rather than helpful. The jewelry explanation itself felt confusing, and the interaction overall felt very blah. I'm warm and jokey by nature, so maybe I notice energy more than most, but boutique experiences, especially piercing studios, should feel a little more welcoming and consultative. I wasn't expecting over-the-top bubbly, but I was expecting someone who seemed interested in helping me choose jewelry I'd likely be wearing for years. I almost walked out, honestly. I stayed because Jeff ended up installing the new jewelry. But overall, the visit didn't feel great, and I left disappointed considering how positive my original experience had been. I still tipped, force of habit , but I walked away feeling like the service didn't match the experience I remembered from Luxe. Customer experience matters, especially in a boutique setting where people are trusting you with body jewelry and looking for guidance.

    Unbelievable work at this place. Ever since I started getting tattoos , I don't want to go anywhere…read moreelse. I had my work done by Eris and not only is he a very nice welcoming individual but his skills are truly out of this world. I brought him a tattoo design and he improved it on his computer, asked for my opinion, gave me his opinion and then placed it exactly like we agreed onto my skin. It is a true work of art. My tattoo turns head everywhere I go and I couldn't be happier.

    I can't say enough about Venture Tattoo. Anthony did a custom half-sleeve for me. It was my first…read moretattoo, but won't be my last. Anthony is an artist, plain and simple. He's an unbelievable talent who is also soft spoken and humble about his work. I know all the artists there are excellent, but if you're looking for something big, he's awesome. He worked for 6 hours on my arm. Got it done in one session, and because he is so good, pain was minimal and after care was painless (which surprised me). I waited 43 years to feel confident enough to get a tattoo. Anthony was the perfect artist for me and I can't wait to get back in there for the next one. I almost never write reviews like this but just want to make sure Anthony and Venture get their due respect from me after my experience there. Thanks. See you guys in October!

    Venture Tattoo Studio - Anthony had taken an idea I had for a tribute to my dad and he made it perfect. This was the sample he looked at while he worked.
