Jennifer is simply the best! She is not only extremely knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to piercings, but she also has a personality that puts you at ease. I am incredibly grateful that a friend recommended Jennifer to me for my teenager to get her third ear piercing re-done after it had become infected after getting it done at a chain piercing place. She made sure my daughter was comfortable and informed at all times, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented professional to handle their piercings in a clean, pleasant environment. read more

I love this place! The place is very very friendly when you walk in and the vibes of the place is amazing! They treated me with such kindness even though I'm pretty young and they are very educated with what they are doing! If I need to get another piercing, this is where I would go read more

Not sure how I feel about this place. Jennifer was nice but I felt a little ripped off since once we got there she was able to just "open" my daughters previously pierced ears so no piercing was actually done. Then she charged me $280 for some cheap looking, small gold hoops (we had the hardest time removing them afterwards) All would have been fine but $280 seemed outrageous. Because of that I would not return. read more

Not good. Piercings are very very over priced. Jennifer, is very rough along with a bad attitude. I have a permanent scar on my face. She didn't stop to think what the next step in action would be. She roughly took out the post and replaced it with a hoop. (This is just asking for an infection) but I trusted her. She made it out to be my fault, and blamed me for not keeping it clean. which I did. She talks down to her clients and I have talked to many people who feel the same. Maybe a change in attitude for Jennifer and re-evaluate what they are charging people For something that shouldn't be that pricey. read more

Jennifer is a scam artist she charged me way more than I was supposed to. When I went to another place they told me that it was 80 dollars for a cartilage piercing while she told me it was 140. This is not fair especially in this economy. read more

Came across this gem from a friends recommendation and I will go no place else. Jenn is knowledgeable, takes her time in explaining, helps decide on piercing placement, jewelry is AMAZING. had my rook pierced today and she did a wonderful job! I will only come here now for any piercings. read more

I want to start off by saying, I've only gotten pierced at Claire's, which I've learned is a huge mistake. I decided to go to a professional piercer, and could not be happier. Jennifer is super knowledgeable, friendly & trustworthy. I knew immediately I was in great hands. She goes over everything in a lot of detail, so you truly understand how to take care of your piercing(s), and why they may have failed previously. Evolution offers a HUGE selection of jewelry to pick from, with a very wide price range. You can tell Jennifer really cares about her clients. She does everything possible to ensure a great outcome, including providing aftercare products and instructions. I highly recommend! read more

See all

Bravo! Jennifer is the consummate professional. I really enjoyed our conversation and her knowledge is immeasurable. She is a kind and talented Soul. I love her BVLA jewelry selection.

The staff is Incredible. I, truly believe their place is the best in the Midwest! Their place is pristine! I gave Jennifer a great big Hug! Can't wait to go back! A + read more

I took my 17-year-old in to Evolution Body Art in Lake Bluff because he had his heart set on an eyebrow piercing. After our thorough check in that included birth certificate and IDs...Jennifer went above and beyond by sitting down with him and talking through the potential risks and downsides of an eyebrow piercing. She explained everything in detail, giving him the full picture, and asked him to make his decision with all the information. (He decided to wait) Jennifer could have simply done the piercing and made her money, but instead, she genuinely cared about her client and took the time to help him make an informed choice. I totally appreciate her honesty and incredible service! If you're considering a piercing or tattoo, I highly recommend Evolution Body Art - they truly put the customer first. Thank you, Jennifer!! read more

Amazing! Chris is an awesome artist, particularly when it comes to small fine art. I wanted him to replicate a small anchor on my wrist. His work was far superior to the original. He is also one of the most gentle, soothing person I have ever met. His tone is quiet and calming which only enhances the experience. I think he is the best there is! thank you Chris and I will be back!!! read more

She is very knowledgeable and skilled and I recommend her to everyone I know! The whole store was professional and welcoming. Everyone I met was super kind. Definitely will be coming back! read more

To say this place is amazing is an understatement. The atmosphere as well as the people is so welcoming. Chris did my first tatoo and it was amazing quick but very detailed just how i wanted it. He takes your ideas or wants and makes it that much better. Every since then i have been back at least 3 more times as well as taken my daughter for her first tatoo. And he did not disappoint. I would highly recommend!!! By far the best tatoo shop and artist i have ever had. read more

Chavez was the artist that did both of my new tattoos today. EBA is incredibly welcoming, conveniently located and the artists are amazingly talented. Whether you are getting a tattoo with very fine details or a simple word/ phrase - this is the place to go. Today, I got a simple phrase on my arm as well as a sibling tattoo on the back of my neck. Chavez listened to my ideas and offered very valid and relevant suggestions on make them look best. He didn't let me up out of the chair until they were perfect. His eye for detail is dead on and easy going personality makes it a great experience. If you are a first timer, Chavez is the way to go and this place is ideal. My thanks to everyone from the first phone call I made up until paying for art. You guys are awesome!! read more

I'm shocked they don't have more reviews as it was such an awesome shop. So clean. Everyone was so nice and professional. Jennifer has been recommended by a tons of people on different Facebook groups and pages as being an amazing piercer. So when things didn't go so great at a mall piercing place I came here to have it done right. I was one of those people who got a second hole piercing at a Claire's and wasn't happy with it. Jennifer to the rescue! They had a fantastic selection of high quality hypoallergenic jewelry. Jennifer did my piercing and they look great. I'm so impressed. I know why so many people have talked so highly of this place. read more
