Horrible service and RUDE!! When we arrived, the piercer…read morealready had someone else coming in, which was totally fine. She told us she could take my boyfriend and me about an hour later and asked us to wait around. After killing time, we came back only to be told that the piercer had made a mistake and never entered our appointment into the system. As a result, we were asked to wait even longer while someone who walked in after us without an appointment--was taken first. The owner repeatedly apologized but made no effort to accommodate us in any way. The staff was extremely rude and completely unempathetic. Prices are outrageous, and the customer service was awful. Zero out of ten. We will never return.

I have been using the other Fine Ink locations with no issues (actually a great time!) and decided to come to this one as it was closer. I came in with my bar IN on my nostril piercing looking for a simple GEM that fine ink studios carries. The bar is from the same brand. I was told to wait-- sure no problem. After waiting in silence for 40 minutes I was surprised with how rudely the piercer slammed her bag on table and said she was leaving. I left. Leaving the parking lot in my car I get followed by the piercer & she tries to yank open my door for god knows what. A large man in the car with her. I can't go to buy a simple piece of jewelry without being threatened? Monica.... I just wanted a damn gem lol. Unbelievably unsafe environment and staff.

I emailed the team here and they got back to me quickly. I sent them a mock up of the image I wanted to work with so they had an idea, as well as, the location I preferred. When I arrived, the artist was able to do a transfer for me and we opted to move the placement a little bit higher up my wrist as I have a dominate tendon that could have been more painful and made it look odd with the movements. 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. :)

FIRST EXPERIENCE: I had my first tattoo done at Chicago Tattoo Co during Covid. The artist did an…read moreamazing job, it's beautiful, I practically fell asleep during the appointment, the lines were clean and the steadiness of their hand was impressive. 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. :)

Both times I was promptly greeted and I was able to show examples of the tattoo I wanted and also discuss the touchup I needed. James and Anna consulted with me to get an idea of the work I was looking to have done, and provided their insight on the designs. This studio has some colorful characters both working here and customers walking in - it's a really fun atmosphere to get a tattoo in a casual setting with great background music. Felt very relaxed and at ease here. Would highly recommend this up & coming tattoos studio for a great experience!

If you are looking for a tattoo and no conversation, this is your place! It worked well for my friend and she didn't want to look towards him or see the job being done. However, if you enjoy the banter between artist and client while you're getting a tattoo, I suggest to go elsewhere as both artists I observed are pretty reserved. The shop itself was pretty bland and could use a little updating. But, the tools and equipment were clean and that's what really matters! Ruben did a great job with the tattoo as it was extremely fine lined and on the wrist area. So 5/5 stars for his skills!
