I met Jeff and the crew at the ITOA Conference. Told him what I was looking for and he had a sketch drawn up for me in a day. Never expected Jeff (owner) to be the one doing my tattoo but of all the tattoos I have this was the best experience! The atmosphere in the shop was great and everyone was friendly! Very clean too! Highly recommend this shop to anyone and I will be sending everyone I know that wants a tattoo to this shop! Can't wait to go back to get more work done! read more

This is my second time getting a tattoo. My first experience was at Five-o-tattoo. Felt comfortable then, so it was a no-brainer deciding to come back. Staff is professional and friendly. The facility is very clean. Danny was the artist this time and did a fabulous job. I am happy. I highly recommend Five-o. read more

Five-O Tattoo - Earrings - Tattoo Near Me - Elburn, Illinois

I LOVE FIVE-O!!! They've done all my tattoos and I am in love with them all. I've made appointments and I've been a walk in and everyone there is so friendly and nice. The shop is incredibly clean and everyone is very professional but also keep a laid back environment that makes you feel comfortable. And some of their workers either currently or previously worked as a paramedic, police officer, military, etc. They work with your ideas and make it come to life and they are all so talented. Jeff has done almost all of my tattoos and the artwork he does is beyond amazing. I also went this summer to get my nose pierced and the woman was phenomenal, professional, made sure I was comfortable and answered any questions I had. And they're quick to answer emails/Facebook messages. No matter where I go in life I will always make the drive and will only trust five-o to do my tattoos. And of course their pricing is completely reasonable. For the art they do I would never question their pricing. I'm sure all of their artists are amazing but my recommendation is Jeff!!! read more

Five-o-tattoo is a great shop with amazing vision. The shop is clean; the music is background noise--loud enough to hear the lyrics but quiet enough to socialize with each other. The owners--Steve and Stacy--are wonderful. They made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. We travelled 2hrs to check out this place because we wanted an LEO friendly place for our LEO tattoos and it was definitely worth the drive. I got my tattoo done on the same day we went for our consult and Steve is currently working on my husband's design. This may just be our forever tattoo shop. read more

Five-O Tattoo - Thin blue line, heart beat, always come home. - Tattoo Near Me - Elburn, Illinois

I do recommend Joanna who did my powder brows. Love the results. She is super talented and skilled artist. Thanks to Joanna my face looks so much better - it's like having my brows done every day by a professional make up artist. Salon is super clean and all of the artists working there super nice and welcoming. I'm already thinking about doing my piercings and tattoo there. Thanks again Joanna! read more

I have been very loyal to my tattoo artist. In having a conversation with a friend, I was reminded that everyone brings something different to the table so I was ready to try something new. I have been following Five O Tattoo for about 6 months and was very impressed with what I was seeing and reading about this shop. SO, I had my fifth tattoo done last night by Paul. When I met with Paul for the consult, he immediately put me at ease. I gave him a general description of what I wanted and it was like he read my mind. He far exceeded what I was thinking and I absolutely love the end result. The shop is very clean, the staff is very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this shop, and Paul in particular, if you are looking for a great tattoo experience. read more

I got my first tattoo from these guys. They did a FANTASTIC job. I have received so many compliments on my tattoo. I just got another one. Jeff does amazing work and is very talented. He doesn't rush and takes the time to go over what it is going to look like. He is honest and professional. I would recommend them to everyone. They are so friendly and do awesome work! I will only go to them for my tattoos. read more

Very professional shop. Amazing artist. Clean and very welcoming environment. We were able to get in quickly for a consultation followed by a quick appointment. Highly recommend this place. read more

Five-O Tattoo - Beyond impressed with the professionalism of this shop. Jeff did this tattoo last night on my husband. Everyone was great! - Tattoo Near Me - Elburn, Illinois

I got my first tattoo done here June of this year. The artist Paul was terrible, and to mention that he said it was his first time doing a foot tattoo. When it was finished it looked great and then after a few days the color started to fade and part of the tattoo was missing. Would not recommend him. read more

Love this shop!!! One of the cleanest, friendliest, professional shops I've been to. It's also very family friendly and family operated. They have 3 very talented and knowledgeable tattoo artists there along with a piercer. It's great you can get a little retail therapy in while your there as well. I have over a dozen tattoos and this is one of my favorite places to go. The guys there are great! Very laid back, comfortable and willing to help you get what you really want. I've never had any mistakes or regrets and love all my work from them! Cannot wait to go back and add more to my collection :) read more

I had been in search of a tattoo shop to call home, and I found it here. The shop is super clean, and the artists are amazing. I've had work done by both Josh & Paul, and it's amazing. Everyone is super nice, professional, and make you feel right at home. I can't say enough great things about Five-O! Check it out for yourself! read more

If your are looking for a QUALITY and PROFESSIONAL tattoo shop this is DEFINITELY NOT the place!!! By far hands down the most UNPROFESSIONAL tattoo shop around! No PROFESSIONAL tattoo artists are to be found anywhere in this "shop". This "shop" consists of a couple of cops experimenting their lack of skills on your body! They have NO PROFESSIONAL experience in the art of tattooing, no professionalism in operating a shop and lack customer service! At this "shop" they have employees "practicing" tattooing! I went there for a small 3 letter tattoo, and it was so poorly done, it resulted in a "blowout". When brought to the attention of the owner, his lack of experience and professionalism resulted in him blaming the POOR tattoo on my lack of aftercare! He was so uneducated with tattooing, that he didn't even know or comprehend the meaning of a "blowout tattoo". Needless to say, I had to seek out a PROFESSIONAL to fix the disaster this shop tattooed on my arm. I have ELEVEN other tattoos, my artist is ill with kidney failure, hence why I went here on a recommendation, and have NEVER once had an issue with any of them. He did offer to fix it, but my question was how can he fix it if he can't even understand the true meaning of a blowout tattoo! PLEASE BEWARE and THINK TWICE before entering this so called "tattoo shop"!... After all, a tattoo is PERMANENT. Do you want their mistake on your body for the rest of your life?! read more
