The shop was having a halloween flash event with a tarot card reader. The shop is cool and the staff's friendly. Adrian Montoya did my tattoo. He was friendly, talked to me the whole time he did my tattoo, and made me feel right at home. read more

Adrian drew a design I liked. The shop was super cool. I was relaxed the whole time and my tattoo turned out great.

Adrian was amazing today. He was professional and friendly. He helped me fine tune my idea and it turned out better than I could have hoped. His prices were great. My only complaint was it's cash or zelle only, so if you go, be ready. It was my own fault that I didn't notice. I highly recommend him. He took me as a walk in and was amazing. read more

Caitlin is an excellent artist and easily accommodated my design touch up request. Highly recommend.

My siblings were in town and we last minute decided to get tattoos to commemorate the visit! We came across Animal Farm Tattoo, it was close to home and had a ton of great reviews. Sure enough Adrian and Darius did not disappoint. Even though they were just tiny line tattoos the quality of work was amazing. It might be cleanest lines I have on any of my tattoos. They were both super nice, professional and thorough. I'd 100% go back. Thank you for a lovely experience dudes! read more

Been coming to Adrian for years now! Always does a great job. Recently did my gf first tattoo n she loved it. read more

I decided to randomly come get a tattoo, because man was I having a horrible day. I walked into the shop 30 min before it closed and I spoke to Vince who was super nice he gave me a quote. I walked in with an idea already in mind and Adrian tattooed me. He was super nice and helpful. The prices were very affordable for what I wanted. The shop is clean. Everything came out of a new packaging so I know I was I good hands. Adrian kept the conversation going which is just what I needed to keep my mind off the tattoo. I'm super satisfied with the tattoo, his lines were super clean and it was just what I wanted. I'm definitely coming back. I'm new to the area but I do have 27 tattoos and have worked at a shop before so I know good work when I see it. Ps. Bring cash :) read more

Adrian was great. He made sure to be incredibly detailed and thorough. He was also very patient. Loved my tattoo.

I had the best experience ever! It was my first tattoo , walked in and felt super comfortable. Went in with an idea and Adrian helped me out. Definitely will be going back, they are super friendly and make you feed super comfortable! Had a great experience. read more

A former coworker of mine came here and had a really beautiful, detailed tattoo done. She highly recommended this place. I didn't need anything quite so intricate, just a few super #basic, thin-line symbols on my forearms. Adrian was super cool and patient with me while I asked him to move stuff around by like a millimeter. Answered my 1,000 questions. AND he laughed at my jokes, which, maybe they were pity laughs, but I appreciated it nonetheless. I hope I don't give this place a bad rap as accommodating to basic bitches. ;) There were also some much cooler people than me in there, too. So, yeah, def recommend. read more

Awesome Tattoo Shop!! Adrian is my tattoo guys he's talented and funny!!! He does great work and is super flexible. I'm not a very creative person so he helps a lot with my ideas!! Super friendly environment and very clean shop! read more

Came in with my own design, worked with Adrian to make it tattoo-ready, and got it tatted the next day. He has great attention to detail as well as the technical skills to make it useful. His work translated into a beautiful new piece of work on my body. Thanks Adrian! read more

Very small studio with limited parking. Friendly people. Margaret is the bomb! She created a beautiful piece I'll treasure for a long time and gets lots of compliments!! read more

Walk ins are welcome and they can pretty much do it all and the prices are great. The shop is clean and the artist I went was fast but good at his line work read more

I came to VINCE a couple of months ago after an artist from another shop failed to deliver. I had a vague idea of what I wanted and Vince was able to put my poorly articulated ideas onto paper. Four tattoos later, and we are getting close to finishing my traditional sleeve! What I love about working with Vince is that our appointments are a true collaboration! I trust his expertise, and he respects my aesthetic! And it works every time! My sleeve is turning out pretty rad! It doesn't hurt that the atmosphere of the shop is very clean, relaxed, and friendly! They play cool music too! read more

I jump a lot from shop to shop and different tattooers. Vince is cool and so's this shop and I'll be back for sure. It's in a good spot, lots of cool flash on the walls if you don't wanna bring in your own masterpiece from high school art class. More than reasonable prices, don't tip like a punk, tip like a champ. read more

I went to Vince a few years ago at a different tattoo shop and was able to track him down via Facebook to find him working at Animal Farm. So glad I did! Everything was great about my experience with Animal Farm! Location is perfect, the shop is clean, Vince and the team are awesome to work with. Vince will take the time to listen to your ideas on what you want to get done and offer suggestions when needed. Whether it's your first tattoo or 50th, they'll make you feel at ease and you'll all around enjoy the experience. Anyone that asks me about local tattoo artists I'm sending their way! read more

Adrian did an amazing job with my tattoo. He was so attentive to detail and made sure I got exactly the design I wanted. He's patient, professional, and he put a lot of effort into making everything perfect. The shop is very clean and in a good location. I will definitely be going back here the next time I get a tattoo! read more

First things first- everything you need in a tattoo studio- very clean, bright, and beyond friendly staff. We walked in to satiate a whim and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Max was professional, talented, and super personable. Just come here. Do it. read more

I don't see my review here anymore! Stupid Yelp! Vince is great. Did an awesome golden girls tattoo for me. Amazing price. Ridiculously nice. The shop was clean, especially since they had only been open a couple of weeks. I imagine it is even better now!!! read more

I've known Adrian and Vince for years now, and over 80% of my work has been done by them. Super cool guys, extremely talented artists. 100% recommended for any tattoo you want, be it color, realistic, old school, black and grey, lettering....I could go on and on. Go. Just go there. The best decision you can ever make. read more

I got my first tattoo here for free by Darius as he was a apprentice. He was amazing at his first realism tattoo on someone and I didn't mind letting him practice on me. I got a lion on my shoulder. He was understanding if I needed to take a break for the pain. The other arist was also very nice and he was also fucking hilarious. I would highly recommend this place. They care about the customers and do amazing work! The tattoo shop is small but very clean and I loved the whole experience for my first tattoo. :) read more

Animal Farm Tattoo - The lion I got. - Tattoo Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If you got a tattoo at any shop you'd probably give them 5 stars because you like your new ink. But it's not only about that for me, the staff here seem like they're some sort of weird, funny family and they just invited you in for their Thanksgiving pig roast. Some other parlors the artists are all stand-offish and try to maintain some level of "cool" that I really don't care to deal with. Here's you're in on whatever is going on, not left to wonder if they're talking about your stupid haircut behind your back. They also seem to really be collaborative, both with you obviously since you're the one getting work done, but will pull each other in for advice if the situation occurs where you and your artist can't decide on a detail. Give them a shot for your next piece, you won't be sorry. They have someone for every type of tattoo. They usually have someone on hand that can handle walk-ins too! Oh, and this is part of what I've been calling the "Walk Western" path - starting down at Challengers Comics (or coming off of the 606), hitting Margie's/Quesadilla/The Art of Chicken/Paladar for food, getting some work done at Animal Farm, grabbing something sweet at GBD, hunting to get a piece of your childhood back at Toy de Jour, looking for oddities at Sideshow Gallery, and ending up at Logan Arcade. Great date day all in one stretch of Western that most people miss while doing the same old Milwaukee Ave stuff. All this while getting some exercise walking Western! read more

Always a great experience. Clean facility. Never a dull moment . These guys are friendly and professional. Always willing to work with you to ensure you'll get your ideal tattoo. Highly skilled artists. Reasonable prices. Overall a great shop. read more

Adrian was really good. He has 16 plus years of experience and his work def shows it. He's very attention to deal and takes his time but yet time efficient. I would highly recommend him. I found a new place to get some ink done now. Thanks Adrian!! **update** After about 1.5 weeks later, Ive been getting a lot of compliments from friends, family, and coworkers and even from random people in the public. I'll def be back to get more! read more

Came here for a Legend of Zelda tattoo with Darius. Everyone was awesome and professional. Would definitely recommend this place!

I had a great experience!!!!! My best friend and I decided to spontaneously get our first tattoo here and we have never been happier. I can honestly say It was very memorable for us. The people here were so friendly and they were soooooo very patient with us because we had NO idea what we wanted. They honestly walked us through it all and I was very comfortable. I actually had such a great experience I went back the next day with my mom and sister to get another matching tattoo. I know...wild, right? It was just such a great experience, I highly recommend this shop. And they are very clean, I witnessed it myself...twice!!!!Thank you, Marc! You're still my tattoo guy, okay! Thank you guys so much. read more

Stopped in here with my two best friends to get matching tattoos during a weekend trip to Chicago. I was truly so impressed by the entire experience. Adrian was super cool, did a great job and really was patient with us as we decided what exactly we wanted. He did amazing line work, and we couldn't have been any happier with the results. As an added bonus, the tattoo was extremely reasonable! The studio was so clean and when we booked the appointments online, the studio was extremely responsive and flexible. I totally recommend checking this place out! read more

Had a great experience here! Margaret was my tattoo artist. She is incredibly talented and really listened to all of my stylistic preferences to make something beautiful, creative, and mine. She was super kind and friendly, and made my first tattoo experience one of a kind. My tattoo is everything I wanted it to be and more, and I could not be happier! read more

I love this place! I have been to a handful of tattoo places in Logan Square and for the first time in a long time, I walked into a tattoo place and wasn't overwhelmed with the arrogance and judgement of the artist to the point where I needed to leave immediately. This place is so friendly, welcoming and just flat out hilarious. My cousin, roommate and I walked in and were immediately greeted by a totally friendly artist who took care of us right away. Between the three of us, we were there for about 3 hours and had a blast. Not to mention, we each had our work done by 3 different artist and they all came out fantastic! Definitely walk in and ask for Max, Adrian or Vince. Max did my work (attached). Although it hurt like a bitch, I am obsessed with this piece. read more

Love the work, atmosphere, and personalities at this shop. I've been to quite a few places all over and this is one of the few I plan to come back to again and again. Great guys, work, prices, and shop cleanliness. I have a ton of fantastic stuff from Max from over the years and just got my first piece from Vince today. Both of them are top-notch artists that are receptive to your ideas and feedback while also bringing their own unique styles and directions to each piece. Whether you're a hardcore tattoo aficionado or a newbie, you can go into Animal Farm without getting some of the pretentious attitudes you get at some shops. CHECK 'EM OUT! read more

This is the place and VINCE is my ARTIST!!!!! I was researching online what cover up I wanted and what artist I wanted to do it. I was recommended to go to this one guy at tattoo tatu, I loved his work but when I got there he was already with a client so he sent me to another guy who was willing to do it, except I didn't see any of his work. I showed him an idea of what I wanted and instead of him tracing mine to get an idea of what could work, he came back with a print out instead of a sketch of an ugly butterfly and tried to tell me what he could do.....yea I just was uncomfortable and scared to get shitty work done, he was a nice dude but he seemed a little lazy and he just wasn't convincing enough for me, so I left! Don't get me wrong, I like tattoo tatu I just wasn't having it that day with that one artist, I have too many tattoos not to care about what I get and I know what I want. The next day I went online researched a few more tats and read a few reviews from other shops. I emailed a couple of artists my tat and what I wanted as a cover up, some responded and some didn't, some responded me with how much it would be appose to saying, "yea we can def come up with something with your idea." That's when VINCE responded with what I wanted to hear so I chose him. I met up with him after work, he quickly traced my tattoo and came back with a sample sketch, I loved it! So he went back to finish up the sketch and I went and had a beer till he was done LOL! I came back and we got started, I loved how clean, patient, and gentle he was with me.....after a few butt clenching moments, cuz I'm so damn dramatic, my work was completed and I just LOVED IT! I will def be going back to finish up some other stuff and maybe even expand the new art he did for me. THANK YOU VINCE....YOU ROCK! read more

For the last five years I have come to Adrian with my ideas, sketches and sometimes random fragments of what I want and final result never ceases to amaze me. It's always better than I could have ever imagined. The color still pops and the lines are always magnificent. I have sent so many friends and family members to him and everyone is always as happy as I am with his skills. Not only is his work fantastic but he is so easy to talk to. He is friendly, funny and makes it easy to sit through a tattoo. If you want amazing work go check him out. read more

Great spot. Walked in with no appointment (though they absolutely take them) and offered an image hoping to get a matching set with my girlfriend. Max and Vince were extremely professional and also an excellent hang. Absolutely would recommend this spot to anyone. Ink looks great. Clean and welcoming vibe. Good people. Reasonable pricing. All the best for these dudes. read more

Today I went to Animal Farm Tattoo and got an amazing Golden Girls tattoo! I had emailed Vince about a week ago after a recommendation from a friend. he responded to me very quickly and was even willing to come down considerably on the price so I could get it done sooner! I went into the shop and he had my stencil ready and was giving me ideas of how he wanted to do it and asked for my suggestions. He was friendly and funny, two things you want in a tattoo artist! On top of that, he did an amazing job! I don't think there is anything I could find wrong on the tattoo! Out of my three tattoos, this one is definitely my favorite and I think will always be! If you are thinking of getting a tattoo, call or email Vince. He's great and doesn't make you feel stupid with questions! :) read more

AF is very clean and professional. I've been to 5 other shops/artists and I've never felt so welcomed... all the artists that I met are super nice and helpful! Marianne is working on a thigh piece for me and it's better than I pictured it...she is super talented! I never thought I'd get 1) a leg tattoo, or 2) a color tattoo, yet here I am working on a brightly colored thigh tattoo, and I couldn't think of a better place to get it done! read more

I've had 4 considerably large pieces done by Adrian over the past 1 1/2 years and his work is consistently awesome. Cool new shop, very laid back, good tunes always playing, and these guys know what they are doing/will work with you & your style. They are very welcoming to walk-ins also, A+ for customer service. read more
