    Went in on Saturday just planning on a consultation, but Grant had a cancellation so he was able…read moreto, pretty much, take me right away. I came with a printout of exactly what I wanted, but he made some minor modifications to the design to make it more tattoo friendly and make it fit. Grant was super nice, professional, has great taste in music, and was very conscientious about cleanliness and my comfort. He even gave me a cookie afterward because I was so brave. Everyone at Proton Tattoo was great and the facility was very organized and clean. I would recommend it to anyone.

    I absolutely LOVE coming to Proton Tattoo. Chris May is my main man when it comes to ink, and I…read moreliterally flew in from Florida after moving to get more work done. He's awesome. Not only do his skills speak for himself, he's pretty damn funny and he's also always creating custom pieces that never fail to blow me away as well as every person that comes across his work. I've been coming here since probably 2013 to get work done and couldn't be happier, he gets me in at a time that works for both of us and works hard to ensure that I'm 100% happy and free with my choices, like color selection, etc. I don't think I'll be seeing another artist for awhile when I've got someone that can create CRAZY custom pieces at a good price. If you need ink you'll adore and you want something that can't be found on Pinterest, this is your place.

    I rarely write reviews but I had to after getting pierced here yesterday. I absolutely loveddd my…read moreexperience. The studio itself is so cute, super clean & has such a warm feminine welcoming vibe. Everyone was beyond sweet and made me feel really comfortable. Salem did my back dermals & they ended up being more difficult than expected (superrr painful) but she was extremely patient & handled everything with so much care & compassion. I've been having a rough few months mentally & I got these to cheer myself up so it meant a lot :) You can tell they truly care about their clients and creating a safe environment. I would definitely recommend to anyone. I wish they allowed videos bc Id love to promote!!! people need to know about this gem of a place

    W ent two months ago to get a jewelry change done. Pretty sure they put the wrong size in since it…read morestill hurts. Messaged them about coming in and was told to come in. Let them know I'd be coming after work (literally told them I get off at 7:15 in Elgin) she said sounds good. Yesterday I get there at 7:45 and they were gone! No one was there. Called and sent them a fb message. Not once did anyone mention they stop taking walk in at 7:30pm. I drove 25 min each way. Gas is around $5 a gallon. Their response was even crazier. Blaming being short staffed on Sunday but that was irrelevant. Then also told me I have to pay for new jewelry even if it is their fault on sizing. I wanted to love them so bad. The shop is so cute and the girls are sweet. But the lack of communication is ridiculous. Especially since I messaged them before 7:30pm yesterday to say I'm coming!

Lisa was so incredibly welcoming, sweet, and knowledgeable. I've never had anything other than my lobes pierced before, so I didn't know what to expect. She made me feel so comfortable during the entire process and I'm so happy with how my new piercings turned out! Thank you Lisa & Ink 180!

The piercing was fine for the first 48 hours, but after, it started to throb tremendously. I have 14 other piercings including a conch, and have never experienced this pain. It got so bad I had to go to another tattoo shop to have it looked at. Turns out the jewelry was not medical grade and the post was so short, the swelling had caused the infection to form in the newly pierced skin. I ended up having to go to urgent care to get on antibiotics for the infection as my lymph nodes in my neck were swollen. I am extremely unhappy as I have heard so many great things about this shop. Plastic isn't for new piercings.
