Tony MELTED absolutely killed it!…read more I've now trusted Tony with two tattoos, and I seriously cannot recommend him enough. He breathed life and ink back into my butterfly tattoo, transforming an older piece into something beautiful again and making it the perfect first part of a memorial half sleeve that means so much to me. Then came my newest celestial tattoo -- a design I created myself and was really excited about. Tony took my vision and absolutely nailed it. The detail, linework, placement, and execution came together better than I could have imagined. Beyond being an incredibly talented artist, Tony makes the whole experience comfortable and chill. No awkwardness, no stress -- just good conversation, good vibes, and a great artist doing what he does best. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your skin and your vision, go see Tony MELTED at Cry Babies Tattoo in St. John. I highly recommend him to literally anyone and everyone. I already know this won't be my last tattoo with him!

I loved my experience here. Tony is very welcoming and makes you feel right at home…read more PIERCING We've been going to Dan for 2 years for all our piercing needs and he is REALLY good, patient, kind and loves his job. TATTOOS Whether you are going for the first time or 10th, Tony will be enthusiastic, light-handed and helpful. I immediately wanted another tattoo done by Tony after mine was done. We will be back to Cry Babies for sure. These guys do not judge you, treat you with respect and did I mention, LOVE THEIR CRAFT? The vibe at Cry Babies is also chill, clean and comfortable.

Have now had six tattoos done here, Dave has done the last 4 and I'll keep going back to him. He…read moreinvests a lot of his own time into each one, not just drawing it up and "rubber stamping" it on you, but takes time to research and understand the subject matter so that it actually feels like your tattoo is as important to him as it is to you. He is a major perfectionist and in some cases will spend as much time positioning and prepping as he does actually tattooing! Once ready however, he works quickly and it never feels like he's purposely working slowly to milk the hourly rate. Another positive note is that All the artists here are quick to tell you if an idea will not work. They never force something that won't look right simply because you had the idea. "when in doubt, do without!" Overall huge fan of this place. Cleanliness is top notch, will continue to come back!

Gabe is informative, creative and provides excellent quality in fine line tattoos. Highly recommend!read more

After an exhaustive search to try and get my state map filled in with the state of Indiana I…read moremanaged to find this shop. When I called I got Kent in the phone, I explained to him my situation and he told me he could squeeze me in for the day if I could get there. From the minute I showed up Kent was attentive worked with me to make sure what I wanted was perfect and had some sick ideas. This may seem normal to some people, but he was filling in a state 1 inch by 1 inch, and this dude was focused on this as if it was a brand new masterpiece (that's above and beyond in my book). Guy worked on this and absolutely made it a sick addition to my states, guy was full of great stories and just a funny dude. I couldn't recommend this shop or Kent more. Check out his Instagram @kgtattoos_13 because he does absolutely sick work. I can't wait to come back here and get him to do some other work on me, where he has a little more freedom.

His work is out of this world alongside his professionalism and maintenance of his store. It's a nice little shop with other employees who always greet me when I enter the shop as well.

Steven Stanczyk, aka SKUBA, is the MAN!! I've been tattooed…read moreat different shops, in different countries, and Stanczyk is the best I have ever had put ink to my skin. I saw two different guys who had been inked by him, and the quality of work was on such an incredibly high level, I literally questioned if their tattoo's were real. Between having the steadiest hands, artistic eye, all his years of experience, there is no place else I will ever go again. He won't rush you or the job, ink you for your money, slap random garbage on your body, or give you anything less than his honest opinion. He is the definition of a true artist and master of his trade. Thankfully I still have room on my body for him to ink. I would challenge any tattoo artist to come close to his level. He exceeded my expectations above and beyond in every way. If you want the best, give 7 Day Tattoo & Art Gallery a call, stop by their shop, or send them an email. 1-708-897-9855 7daygallerytattoo@gmail.com 6000 W. 159th Street Oak Forest, IL 60452 https://7daygallerytattoo.com/ If you look at my photo, know that all I gave Stanczyk (SKUBA) was a simple black and white outline drawing of what I wanted and he turned it into a tattoo that I will be proud of for the rest of my life. His freehand shading, perfect and crisp lines, just simply an amazing job. If you live in a different state, come to 7 Day Tattoo & Art Gallery for your work if you want the absolute best on your body. You only get one life to live, make it count and get the best ink you can.

I arrived at "Firehouse Tattoo", David greeted me immediately and showed me his design. We didn't discuss colors, or the reason I wanted this specific tattoo. He absolutely NAILED it! I had the colors in mind, but as I said...we NEVER discussed them! His design was EXACTLY what I wanted! It was MORE than I could have come up with. David was so kind, gentle and (I work in Healthcare) I was BLOWN away at how sterile the environment was! EVERYTHING!!!! From the table to his chair was PRISTINE!! He didn't mind at all that i babble during the tattoo process. He played a movie and chatted with me the whole time. I am looking forward to building on what he has already done for me. Thank you David Rakowski for being so AMAZING!!!!
