    Palm tree tattoo above the ankle.
    Kaylee N.

    Kris is amazing! Found this place on accident- I was having dinner with a friend across the street at Fresh Kitchen and decided to come in and check out the studio. Everyone here is always so nice! They take walk ins, so we went ahead and got on the waiting list. Paperwork was quick and easy! They take cash or debit cards for payment. I asked Kris for a very basic palm tree and he made me the most amazing palm tree! The little line details in this are absolutely amazing. They wrapped it before I left and that stayed on for a few days (per instruction) and then I moisturized it frequently until it was totally healed, about 6 weeks later. Plus he only charged me the shop minimum- $60! I always recommend Kris at Cast Iron to all of my friends looking for a great tattoo artist. Can't wait to come back and get more tattoos from him.

    So I have a few friends that come here for Mike the tattoo artist and his work is always amazing! Me and my husband decided to get tattoos for His bday today and what a great idea it was. Mike Lugo was awesome, friendly, funny and professional. He definitely made us feel comfortable and welcomed. We told him Exactly what we want and he gave us that plus more. My husband got a portrait of our 2 dogs and I got a compass with water colors. Mike made sure he gave us all the details and told us how the colors will look and work together. We both left from the shop absolutely excited of what we got and how amazing the work was. Thank you so much Mike Lugo for your awesome talent, professionalism, personality and for making us feel welcomed and important.

    Tattoo by Lance

    I went in for a walk-in tattoo. The place itself was very clean and had really cool artwork. Lance one of the owners was the one I spoke to. He was so friendly and helped me narrow down to a specific font and sizing and was so understanding about my indecisiveness. Once it was time for the stencil he redid it 3-4 times and made sure it was perfectly straight which any person would appreciate. If you're looking for a tattoo with great line work Lance is the guy!

    Random decision to get my nose pierced tonight and I'm glad I finally do it! A friend had told me a long time ago that Cast Iron tattoos does $20 piercings on Tuesdays, so my fiancée and I headed down to get our noses pierced. We walked in and were greeted by Ray Jackson, the piercer. He had a group of girls he was attending but did not waste time getting out paperwork started. Once he was done with the group of girls it was our turn. We were cleaned, marked and pierced in less than 20 mins! Thank you so much Ray! We love our new piercings!

    Memorial piece for my grandmother. So happy with it!

    I have severe anxiety and agoraphobia but I've wanted a tattoo for years. Last year when my grandmother died, it was a huge kick in the tail for me to really work on my recovery. I designed a simple memorial tattoo for her and promised myself I would get it before the first year anniversary of her death. With all of these sensitivities in mind, I was very picky with who I was going to choose to do my piece. A friend recommended Cast Iron to me so I decided to check them out. I was not disappointed at all! Very inviting atmosphere, they made me feel comfortable despite my nervousness. Lance did my tattoo and he was very kind, patient and understanding about my situation. I can't thank him enough for giving me this piece to remember my grandmother. I can't recommend Cast Iron enough and I will definitely be back when I'm ready for my next tat.

    When I first started getting tattoos I hopped around to different shops, trying a few out. Then I met a sweet woman who had recently moved to town and told me her husband just opened a tattoo shop. I went in and I've been going there ever since.. for 15 years!! Danny is the absolute best! As a person and as a tattoo artist. His lines are so crisp and clean and his work shows how much pride he takes in giving you the best artwork he can. I get compliments everywhere I go on my ink. I've had a few piercings done here as well and they came out perfectly with safety, cleanliness, and care taken at every step. I love how clean the shop is as well as how friendly everyone is. The portfolios of all the artists and piercers here are full of beautiful stuff. They also occasionally have guest tattoo artists from around the country and that is always a fun option too!

    Got a tattoo with Mike yesterday. Great experience! He does incredible work and we had great conversation during the entire process so the time went by quickly. I've already talked to him about future pieces and can't wait to have them done. Great colorful and traditional pieces he does.

    When I first went here I went to Kelly, I asked for a Traditional Japanese koi tattoo but the lotus to be in the colors of my brothers birth stones, well 3 years later $600 and it was jacked up and not Done! Then I found Lance White via his Fiance and my Hair Dresser. 3 hours later and my leg looks amazing, I am no longer angry with it, i can't stop looking at it. He is doing an amazing job fixing a job he didn't have to do. He's a great guy. Everyone in the shop is really nice and finally I have found the person to finish/start all my other work. Next my full sleeve !! Thank you so much Lance

    If you're looking for a simple rose tattoo with color dont ask for Kelly. Forgot to add black and rose now looks like a wound

I liked that she advised me on her logic and why she thought it was best to move it up about an inch. The tattoo took about 30 minutes and was wrapped up nicely. The place was very clean and everyone was very professional. It healed up nicely and still looks great. I get a lot of compliments on it. Overall: A Love my tattoo and planning another for my back shoulders. :)

From the moment I first walked in back in 2022, they've always take wonderful care of me. Since that first visit, I've been back countless times for new piercings, downsizing, check-ups, consultations, and jewelry purchases. There's no place better! I wish I'd written this review before Autumn and Lily departed because they were absolutely wonderful! Their knowledge, patience, warmth, professionalism, and care made every visit a great one. They've both recently moved on to the next chapters in their careers and are no longer at Drift but, thankfully, the ladies who've taken over for them, Chase and Kayla, are just as wonderful! I can't possibly say enough good things about Drift and its staff. They're, without a doubt, the best around!

Ultimately my daughter did not get her ears pieced during the appointment. But that had nothing to do with the kindness and patience that the 2 women working at Drift showed for my daughter. They walked her through every step of the process and answered any questions she had. Unfortunately my daughter lost her nerve and didn't go through with the piercing. Lily the woman doing the piercing did not make her feel judged and supported any choice she wanted to make for her body. When my daughter is ready to try again I would definitely take her back to Drift.

The piercer agreed. However, HOURS after her appointment she was experiencing, itching, oosing of puss, redness & could barely sit or stand due to the piecing not being LONG enough for the procedure.

Instead she received below average service and got charged $365 for improper service, standards AND met with non apologetic beings. She SHOULD have received what she asked for. But if they did not have proper gold surgical jewelry to provide her they should have vocalized that. Instead. They gave her non surgical jewelry. On top of the jewelry being non surgical, the Jewelry is also FAKE. After speaking to multiple sources... she then decides to rectify her experience in person at the shop, where the team there said it wasn't there problem. How is it not? When you provided a horrific experience and left her to the deal with the damages. Not disclosing your true inventory and luring her into paying a fee that was NOT worth it. She showed them pictures of her tummy after hours of procedure, even though they claim there is no proof... DO NOT go here. SCAM ALERT. I know the economy is bad but treating good paying customers like this will not be tolerated.

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. :)
