My experience was so great that I feel like I made a new friend. From the beginning I took her my vision of a full sleeve Polynesian tattoo I wanted and with her creativity she made it even better than I could have ever imagined. I spent at least 13 hours with her and she completely blew me away. I will 100% tell everyone to go to her for any tattoo, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Emilia, you're the best!

FIRST EXPERIENCE: I had my first tattoo done at Chicago Tattoo Co during Covid. The artist did an…read moreamazing job, it's beautiful, I practically fell asleep during the appointment, the lines were clean and the steadiness of their hand was impressive. No blow outs or anything. They made sure I was happy with the size and placement. Wonderful experience. Unfortunately, that artist seems to have since left their business. MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE: The second interaction I had at Chicago Tattoo Co was with Tim. I recently lost my dog who was a huge part of my life for 14 years. I was looking to get a piece done of her that looked "faded" as if she were just beyond the veil. I brought an awful sketch with me that I did in about 30 seconds in my car before going in. I can't draw, but I wasn't trying to create something good anyways. Just something to express the "faded" idea I had in my head, since I couldn't explain it with words. Instead of trying to understand what I meant, Tim's first reaction was to judge the drawing. He said things like "I'm trying to be nice" and "no one will know what this is" "it could be a pig"... Once we got past the -its just an example- conversation, he moved on to the size and details of the piece. He said "good" tattoos have to be a certain size and I needed to go bigger. I was not willing to go bigger. By the end of the conversation, he had insulted my quick sketch, my idea, and many people who have tattoos currently that don't live up to his standards. I felt bad for those who have tattoos they love that he crapped all over. He literally called them "shitty tattoos". RECOMMENDATION: I cannot recommend Tim for literally anyone, despite his obvious talent and skill. A man that only appreciates the work he'd do himself is not an artist I'd want tattooing me, because they're likely to have trouble listening. However, Chicago Tattoo is a hub of very talented individuals in general, and its a clean environment. I have attached an image of the sketch I brought in and another sketch that took me about 8 minutes. The second is closer to what we discussed in person, but I can't imagine the first is SO bad that he really couldn't understand what I meant through conversation...it was just a visual aid anyways.. Side Note: Wether someone else likes or recognizes what your tattoo is shouldn't matter. It's what the art piece represents to the person getting it done. Get whatever you want. :)

It has taken me days to write this review because I'm struggling to find the right words to…read moredescribe my experience at this wonderful tattoo shop. I came here seeking something out of the ordinary. I am a cancer Survivor, and after 14 years of waiting, I had finally decided to get a tattoo to cover my battle scars. I met Melecio, and he instantly put me at ease. He spent hours designing what is now becoming a most extraordinary piece of artwork on my skin. At every stage of the process, Melecio made me comfortable. And the other Artists and Piercers in the shop really went out of their way to make me feel welcome. It was more than that... they are like a family, and I really felt like they opened their arms to me. Now, let's talk about my tattoo. I am already in love with this gorgeous piece, and it's only about halfway done! Melecio is such a gifted Artist. He brought to life what I was picturing in my imagination. The fine lines and detail in my tattoo are elegant and beautiful. I wish I could articulate the absolute JOY that I felt when I saw for the first time that my cancer scars were completely gone... I am still beyond words. But I haven't felt this wonderful in a very long time. I am so grateful to Melecio, and to the Body Language Custom Tattoo Family. Thank you for making me feel so special. See you in a few weeks for round two!

The first…read moretime I visited Lynn, I had planned to get my 2nd holes redone, but it turned out they were still open. It was so nice of her to take her time and check all my piercing holes to see if they were really closed or just needed some help. I returned for my tattoo touch up and decided to get my 3rd ear holes redone since those were in fact closed up. Lynn took the time to make sure everything was even and did a great job. She also was able to switch out my threadless backs for shorter ones and check my nostril piercing that I had done on a cruise. I highly recommend Lynn!

We walked in no one was there to greet us we walked around the reception area and looked inside the display cases, sketches of drawings were pinned along the walls, shelves of cleaning materials for after getting something pierced or tattooed. Music was playing in the background waited 10 minutes the receptionist was in the back, a few minutes passed before she came and asked who was first we said Us, she asked us for ID and paid for the piercing and just like that we were called and went to our room down the hall to get it! The person was there to answer my questions about the piercing she was GREAT AND PATIENT with us! If u want them this is the place to be to get them clean and very professional!

I was simply told to lay down and the only words exchanged were "okay, I'm going to go one, two, three." At first the placement looked slightly low, but after a few days I realized the jewelry sits too far inside my navel and the top ball leans forward and sticks out. I reached out to other piercers and confirmed me that it was not done correctly. I really wish more time had been taken to explain things and make the experience feel more professional and informative. I believe her @ is piercedbysita
