    My first piece. Done by Manga
    Christine G.

    Manga is the man. Booked my appointment abiut one month in advance and arrived about 15 minutes early. He started the paperwork as soon as I arrived and once that was completed he proceeded to draw out the design. I'm not a chatter but was extremely quiet simply because I was nervous, this was my first time getting a tattoo. He included me in every process to make sure the design had my approval and asked for input several times. Once he placed the stencil on my arm he realized he has more room so he added more to the tattoo. Took him about one hour or so to do the tattoo and I am extremely happy with it. Cannot wait until it heals.

    Blown out ink all around my crappy tattoo. It looked worse in person.  Finger permanently purple

    I've been waiting until my tattoo healed to write this review, and alas the time has come. .. and I'm not happy. I'll start by saying I got a tattoo from Nuco years ago on the back of my neck and it still looks great, so when I wanted a finger tattoo I thought I would go back to him. I went in right before new years to get tatted with a bunch of people. Now I know finger tattoos are a tricky spot, but my mom got one on the same spot by Micah and it looks great so I figured if he could do it, Nuco can too. He is the owner after all? ? WRONG. First off, he tried drawing it on my finger and it kept looking wrong I had him redo it over and over until I finally just asked him to print it out and trace it. That was warning number one. Then when he finished it looked fine, but he just walked away and didn't say anything..... he was supposed to do another tattoo but just. ...left. so he ended up getting tattooed by 'Manga' (who is easily the most talented artist there. I wish I would have gone to him) that was mistake two. Mistake three was when it healed. He tattooed it SO DEEP that it looked carved into my bone and my finger looked bruised as hell. My mom who had a finger tattoo by Micah said that it wasnt supposed to look that way. Well it turns out he tattooed so deep that the ink blew out and half of my middle finger was permanently purple/blue. I had to get laser tattoo removal on my knuckle to not look like i was permanently bruised. The tattoo is faded, blown out, lumpy, and just generally looks bad. I'm so disappointed by this tattoo and now I have to either get it removed or covered by someone else. Meanwhile my boyfriends finger tattoos (done by Manga ) look great and totally healed, and my mom's tattoos on her finger and collar bone (done by Micah) all look fantastic. So why is that I go to Nuco and get totally boned? Anyways, here are some pictures. First picture is of it healing BADLY. It took several months to heal and my finger looked like it had gangrene. It looked like i had huge chunks missing from it. Second picture is of my purple knuckle before i got laser tattoo removal on my knuckle. It looks even worse in person. Third picture is of the healed tattoo post laser. The parts tgat looked like missing chunks you can see scabbed terribly.

    Always wanted a Tattoo, Nuco drew me an anchor with a heart and I loved it. Nice work, I'll be back for more.

    Nuco's the best for color hands down!

    This is my favorite shop in the city! I love the vintage interior from the gold curtains to the tin ceiling. Nuco did an amazing job with this shop it's beautiful but that's not the only thing amazing but the amount of awesome unique flash he has in the shop, my favorite is the sexy luchador ladies! Nuco is such an amazing artist I trust him so much with any suggustions he has especially with color, he's seriously the best guy for color! He's my go to guy and is worth the trip to Pilsen plus you can explore 18st while your there, you must stop by simones

    Amazing person to get a tattoo from. Nuco made me feel very comfortable about getting my tattoo (my first). I gave him my sketch of what I wanted on my forearm, and a week later he had me in the chair. His shop is a work of art in itself, and so not pretentious. I'd definitely get more tattoos from him.

    Art by Micah!! :-)

    I walked in last night with my best friend and we walked out with the most amazing art by micah, he is super talented...I'm happy I found I place so spectacular, inviting and their work is superb...I'm a very detailed person and this people are the most professional, cleanest, fast, and gentle you can find. I will definitely going back for more. Thank you guys for such amazing experience! :-)
