Do your research before patronizing this establishment. I came to Chicago Heights Tattoo & Piercing for nipple and belly button piercings after it was recommended to by a friend. Not sure if this friend has ever been serviced here or if her recommendation was solely based on her living/working nearby, but I regret ever coming here. Firstly my piercer Noemi was extremely rude, supposedly they have signage posted stating that people other than the piercee are not allowed into the piercing area without the piercer's permission (probably so that there are no witnesses to her botched piercings). Despite receiving nipple piercings I was provided no privacy (a male employee and another employee's children wandered into my piercing area during my appointment, I was also pierced in direct view of the establishment's security cameras). When I texted Noemi regarding an issue with my piercing a week later, I was told to fix it myself or to come in at a fee. I had done some research on nipple piercings prior to coming in and how the initial barbell is typically longer to accommodate swelling. My barbell was extremely short and the balls on the ends eventually began putting pressure on my nipples creating migration of my piercing and difficulty cleaning and eroding of the skin around my nipples. Considering the previous experience I had with this establishment, I sought out a professional second opinion at a shop with experienced piercers in Wicker Park only to find out that not only were my barbells too short and balls too small (should be long enough to see 1 mm of the barbell on either side of the nipple to accommodate swelling in the initial healing phase especially, which an experienced piercer would/should know) but that Noemi had also pierced into my areola on both breasts which could delay my healing process and would require custom barbells whenever changing my jewelry. Because of the risk for adverse healing due to this botched piercing, I agreed with this more experienced piercer that the best course of action was removing the piercings and repiercing once the wounds heal. So now $80 down the drain and wounds on both breasts that will hopefully heal without incident. TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. read more

YOU ARE NOT TO USE SOAP ON A NOSE PIERCING... UNDER NOOOOO CIRCUMSTANCES. I came in August 7th on a Wednesday and I got a nose piercing on the special for $25. I was given clear instructions to wash my hand and under my finger nails then put the soap THEY GAVE ME (for $3) in a bottle THEY GAVE ME AS WELL with some water and shake it up until the soap is gone. Then use a cutip with the soapy water on my nose to clean it. If I wanted to change it ... wait 6 weeks which I did. September 18th made 6 weeks and it hurt LIKE HELL to remove it and put a new one in. I know a person who have multiple tatttoo and piercing and she told me it suppose to NEVER hurt like that unless something was wrong. I asked her to look at it and that's when I found out it was a bump on it. It so happens that Chicago HTS Tattoo and Piercings were closed when I came for my tattoo on this past Tuesday and the only place that was open was The Reef Tattoo in Frankfort, IL ... when I showed them the PUSS ROLLING FROM THE BUMP ON MY NOSE AROUND MY NOSE RING, without telling them anything about the soap they ask me what am I cleaning it with. I tell them soap I got from Chicago HTS Tattoo and Pericings and they said YOU ARE NOT TO USE SOAP ON A OPEN WOMB LIKE A NOSE PIERCING. They're exact words were "You never use soap on a internal womb, soap is not meant to clean the inside of your body, in the case your open nose piercing". I believe that EVERY tattoo artist and piercer should know this. read more
