Space: As an Oak Park Studio "walk-in" looking to get my 7th tattoo, I was pleasantly surprised by…read morehow easy scheduling, paperwork, and service were. The studio gives "calm/peaceful" vibes, which helps me not be overstimulated or anxious. The shop is clean, tranquil, and shares global inclusive art creativity. Tattoo Artist: Jonathan was amazing! He greeted me with a genuine welcome and readiness to help. He explained my options, created my design, and was kind, professional, SKILLED, and hilarious. His positive, down-to-earth energy was contagious. I felt spoiled with VIP treatment the entire time. I LOVE my newest tattoo and will be back for another. Thank you, JP and Ageless Arts Tattoo & Body Piercing.

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.

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!

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.

My tattoo turns head everywhere I go and I couldn't be happier.

He got his first ever piercing done here: a side nostril(he plans to switch to a hoop). I got my septum done here by Rosemary, and it healed up nicely! It did not hurt at all when she did it! Was completely unaware the needle went in even! Painless!!! I also got my belly button pierced here in February on Valentine's Day special, with Karen. Belly button also is healing up nicely! As they use high quality jewelry, and all the piercers here clearly know what they are doing! Planning to come back again for my birthday to get a lip piercing. Also in July planning on coming to get my second ever tattoo done with Mercy!!!

These people are scammers they ask for $100 deposit and then ask me to pay for my tattoo up front…read morebefore I can have my appointment then when I told him I didn't feel comfortable given the whole amount to them before getting my 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.

Phenomenal Experience from the moment my daughter Zoey and I walked in until we walked out!…read more This was our first visit to The Body Art Bar to get matching surface tragus piercings, and our experience was absolutely phenomenal from beginning to end! Let me say I'm 53 "a chicken " let me ADD, and my beautiful baby girl is 19, like HEY! mama's let's DO THIS!. Chrissy, the OWNER, personally did both our piercings, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. Chrissy made us feel welcomed, comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for. She took her time, not just with us, but her clients before us. That let me know we were in great care. She extremely professional, knowledgeable, patient, personable, and attentive. She took her time with both of us, explained the process answered our questions, and made sure we were completely comfortable every step of the way. Nothing felt rushed. Her calm welcoming personality made the entire experience enjoyable, and you can tell that she genuinely loves what she does and cares about the people she serves. The cleanliness and professionalism of the shop also stood out to me. Everything was handled with care, and Chrissy attention to detail gave us complete confidence that we were in great hands. The entire experience deserves recognition. Not just piercing themselves. Exceptional customer service started the minute we walked through the door. Chrissy treated us like more than customers, and that personal touch made our experience even more memorable. Thank you Chrissy, for your patience, professionalism, your beautiful energy and most importantly, for taking great care of both my daughter and me. You did this, made our visit a special experience and for that we truly appreciate YOU!. We both LOVE our surface tragus piercings . If you are considering tattoos, piercings, makeup etc... I highly recommend THE BODY ART BAR and CHRISSY and her staff will definitely take great care of you and your services. I rate this business a 10/10. We will definitely return.

Today I took my daughter to get her ears pierced. When I walked in, the impression I got was…read more"artsy", but a bit intimidating with the loud music and the fact that I don't go into piercing/tatto shops often. I did wait about 3 minutes before anyone even approached us at the counter, so that was awkward, and I recommend that staff at least greet costumers right away. I went for the $25 piercing sale. I didn't realize that it was $25/ear, so maybe for the future they should write that in the fine print as I bet like myself, not everyone is aware of that. The jewelry is included in the price which is nice. You don't get to pick any type of option for jewelry- it's a standard diamond/stainless (or titanium?? Not sure). They asked to see my daughters birth certificate as well as my ID. The lady helping us at the counter was very polite, professional and warm. The piecer was wonderful and very kind to my child. She gave her a headband and candy at the end. Overall, the staff were all wonderful. The piercing went quick and smoothly. If I needed another piercing, I would come here again!

Their prices are very reasonable too. I will be returning for the tattoo services as well!! :)
