    I love my tatoo and can't recommend this place enough. My artist is Annie Cogdal, we emailed back and forth and I gave some ideas of what I wanted. Her ideas are great and I love the piece. It goes from ankle to knee and wraps around a bit. The colors are bright and it looks beautiful. In terms of Covid protocols all the artists and clients that came in and out had face coverings and kept to their areas. The place was very clean and I felt very comfortable. All in all highly recommended and will be back for more!

    My tattoo, which was done by Al Brodeur
    Roberta W.

    I literally just got home from having my first tattoo here. The tattoo shop was immaculate. I was very impressed. I was warmly greeted by a gentlemen named Al, with whom I had been communicating with for a few days. He created a stencil, and we discussed my tattoo. I was very happy. He expertly copied a message to me from my late father, from an old Christmas card. I was very impressed. Al and I chatted while he traced the words on my arm, and I felt much better about the process. The pain wasn't as intense as I thought it would be. I am very happy with my first tattoo, and I highly recommend this shop, and Mr. Al Brodeur, was very warm, friendly, professional, and just a perfect artist. He gave me after care instructions, and made sure I knew exactly how to take care of my tattoo. Thank you! Roberta Wilson

    Coffea Arabica by Annie Cogdal

    After two years of contemplating a coffee plant tattoo, I came across the artwork of Annie Cogdal (@anniecogdaltattoo) at The Burnt Tiger and instinctively felt that she was the right artist to work with. Her renditions of botanicals immediately caught my eye for their detail and clarity. Upon emailing her, I learned that her professionalism extends beyond her artwork into every interaction she has with her clients: she responds quickly, is always honest and straightforward, and is also warm and encouraging - all attributes that helped to calm the nerves of a first timer like myself. My initial consultation with her affirmed my initial impressions; Annie's passion for her work came shining through in our conversation. She was amazing during the entire process of looking at artwork and photographs together, and she was so patient during the process of stencil placement. In the end, we chose a slightly more unusual placement on my arm in response to what I wanted to see, and she generously altered her design to make the most of the placement. We completed the tattoo over two sessions at The Burnt Tiger, and both experiences were wonderful. Annie's warm personality and willingness to engage in conversation put me at ease and quelled any anxiety I had over getting such a large first tattoo. In addition, the whole staff at The Burnt Tiger exude positivity (in addition to all being phenomenal artists themselves). It was really fun to hear the banter between all the artists as they all worked; I especially noticed how Al Broordie, the owner, took the time and effort to check in on all his artists to see how they were doing, as well as engage in friendly conversation with each client. This all adds up to an environment that would lift the mood of anyone who enters the shop. The tattoo ended up looking even better than I could ever have imagined. Annie was very helpful and clear about the aftercare process, and with her advice, my tattoo healed quickly and easily without any complications. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to go work with Annie, or any of the artists at The Burnt Tiger. Their parlor is a gem in the city of Chicago and I feel so lucky to have been able to go there for my first (and hopefully not last!) tattoo experience.

    This shop is amazing, as are the artists who work here. I get my work done by Jake and he is incredibly talented. A couple of my friends gets their work done by DJ and he is rad, too. The atmosphere is very relaxing and laid back, which helps when you're enduring the hours of pain, I mean, their tattoos don't hurt at all. Nope. Not at all. They might even tickle a bit. Highly suggest this place!

    Great work by Jake

    Had a great time working with Jake who was very professional through and through. From our first meeting were I was greeted and treated respectfully, to seeing my concept with great input. Jake was able to put it all together and that was very appreciated. No attitudes or cockiness as most shops I encountered before deciding on this place. Burnt Tiger has an excellent vibe with a welcoming atmosphere and some funny stories to be shared. As you can see, Jake threw down and made this vision come to life. Its only half done and will be looking forward to what Jake designs on the other half!

    My girlfriend and I made an appointment with Nicole for 7 PM to get matching tattoos. Nicole drew up a SUPER DOPE image for us and edited it a little bit to our liking. Not only did she go above and beyond with the details of the tattoo, she stayed far later than they were open to accommodate us while staying within our budget. Everyone in there was very friendly and I felt really comfortable. I'm not good with needles but it was super chill in there and I survived the 2-hour session. We will be coming back for our next piece, for sure. Thanks, Nicole!!! PS Lots of good vibes in there with all the crystals. :-)

    I totally loved my tattoo experience at this shop. The shop itself has a very warm, chill, welcoming vibe which I really appreciate. I worked with Annie. She is by far the best tattoo artist I've ever had. She's very warm, kind, and has great communication skills. As soon as I met her for our consultation, I trusted her and felt so at-ease. She was able to understand exactly what I wanted done. Her design came out even better than I envisioned it in my head. I get a ton of compliments on my tattoo, which of course I give Annie total credit for. I couldn't be happier with it and I can't wait to get more work done by her. Thank you Annie!

    Just amazing

    Great artwork at a great price. I was very happy with the way the artist designed the idea that i described and with the finished product.
