Odds & Ends Tattoo Studio - Because I wear my heart on my sleeve - Tattoo Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

I've gotten multiple pieces here from various artists and they've all done an outstanding job. They've been able to take me as a walk-in every time and they always have some sweet tunes playing in the shop. read more

Don't be fooled by the fun, cool vibe on the outside of the building and inside the parlor. You'll be greeted with apathy and condescension. Went in as a walk-in per their welcoming sandwich board outside, and finally got up the nerve to get a long awaited tattoo that's meaningful to me (tribute to me and my daughter) but decided to go as a walk in because the tattoo is pretty standard/ within the same style as all the tattoos displayed on their walls, figuring they were experts of it and could whip it out. The artist greeted me and was open at first, but every time I'd request an adjustment in the tattoo I was given a stubborn excuse on why it couldn't work, and ended up going back and forth, even basically arguing with me on how the rose leaves I wanted were not authentic to an actual rose, and how the ones he drew were actually "correct" (though the art was imbalanced and lazy) while all I wanted was the leaves to be a little fuller. (Pointing to exactly what I wanted off the example wall and responded with "no" for some reason that didn't honestly make sense. After the second round of trying to work with this guy, he was even more apathetic and increasingly condescending because I was requesting adjustments of a tattoo that I was about to have put permanently on my body. I decided to leave and when I kindly waved to leave, he just responded "see ya" with no intention or attempt to stop me and work with me. I was more than kind, open to his suggestions and positive, but I left disheartened, and guilty for no reason - like I had peed on his damn cheerios or speaking my opinion about MY tattoo, and even though his cheerios were pissed in, he legit didn't care. So if you want a rushed job with stubborn artists unwilling to collaborate who in turn create an uncomfortable experience, go here! They have that down pretty well. Standard American Traditional Sailor Jerry Swallows and a rose though? No, that seems too hard. read more

Odds & Ends Tattoo Studio - Thanks to the amazing Andrew for my panther!!! Love it!!! Definitely the best place around!! - Tattoo Near Me - Rockford, Illinois

Had a great experience here! Walked in to get more information on getting my first tattoo after a recommendation from a friend. Bright and easy going feeling in the shop. Not intimidating at all. Very clean. Reasonably priced. Zack came to talk to me right away, I showed him what I wanted and he said he could tattoo me in 30 min if I wanted to wait for him to finish On his current customer. Made me feel extremely comfortable for my first tattoo, and he was finished in 10 minutes. Loved it! Ask for Zack if you go. read more

Zach is awesome! I got my first tattoo maybe a year ago and he was great with helping me with that. My tattoo is my favorite thing about myself. If you're worried about getting a first tattoo I'd totally recommend Odds n Ends & Zach. If you're worried about cleanliness then definitely go to them! Their place was clean, my tattoo healed great. Just go to them, they know what they are doing. read more

Such an awesome experience! I had my first tattoo done today, and i was nervous, but these guys were so great! First of all, right off the bat i noticed how clean this place was! That was an awesome first impression. The people there were all very nice as well. Aaron was my tattoo artist. He was so nice and friendly, and he had been working as a tattoo artist for 22 years, which made me feel super confident in his abilities. I felt super comfortable the entire time i was there. Aaron talked to me and kept me calm, and said that i did really well for my first time. If i ever decide that i want to get any more tattoos, i will absolutely come here again! Thank you so much for the awesome experience. read more

This is a great place for your next tat. The artists there do superb work. I go to Zach, but know those who go to other artists there who rave about them as I do Zach. You just can't go wrong. read more

I was lucky enough to spot this place while driving by. I stopped in and THIS is what a tattoo parlor should be! easily the cleanest shop in Rockford. Andrew Stickler is the owner and the artist who gave me an awesome piece for a great price. He specializes in traditional tattoos and does amazing work. If you want a tattoo you wont regret, I'd say you have to go get stuck by A. Stickler. read more

Everything you want in a tattoo shop. Very clean place with a great atmosphere. All the artists I met were really cool guys. Got my second tattoo from Ahren today. He's the man. Emailed him about what I was looking for, and he worked with me to come up with a sketch based on what would work best. Sketch was even better than I hoped for. Left the shop after the first of two sessions REALLY happy with how it looked. Thanks again Ahren. read more

I cannot make enough positive comments about this place. I have been getting work done with Andrew for 10+ years and have never been any where near disappointed. Andrew has done all but one of my pieces and his work is unparalleled. I have come in with everything from random ideas to comic characters and have been pleased with the work done each time. Excellent service, quality of work, hygiene conditions, and one of the few shops I can think of not in the field for the money. This shop is an excellent choice for your next piece. Just stop in and chat with the guys. You will not be disappointed. read more

Got an american traditional tattoo done a few months back by Zack Shereck and it was a great experience. The shop was clean and the staff was amazing, the price for my tattoo was very reasonable and though I have held off on getting it colored for now, when I go back in I'll ask for him again. I recommend getting a tattoo here if you're looking for a tattoo, it's a small shop and you will probably pass by it before you see it but stop by and check it out! read more

Zach Sherek has worked on me three times. Twice to add to existing tattoos and matched them perfectly. The third piece was a custom piece. I told him what was in my head and he created it. It is a combo of graphics and Latin text. I absolutely love it. Part of it is a feather and the feather turned out absolutely beautiful. Zach is also very nice and laid back as are the other guys in the shop. It is impeccably clean and easily accessible. I don't know if I am done tatting or not, but if not, Zach is my man. I highly recommend getting your next tattoo done here. read more

I absolutely love this shop. I've had several tattoos done here and every single one has turned out awesome! Andrew is an amazing artist as well as Nick and Zach. I will continue to go to them and definitely recommend this shop to anyone. Great environment and very friendly!! Love it!! read more

walked in with my friend (who is a regular) to talk to someone about setting up an appointment and getting a quote. nick listened to my idea and told me he could draw it up right then and there. the shop was clean, professional and had a very laid back atmosphere. my tattoo turned out beautifully and was priced great as well. I will definitely be back to see nick! thank you! read more
