    I got my first tattoo done by Paige here and it is awesome. Everyone was super friendly and the shop was super cool. It was a very nice experience and It was super chill and welcoming environment.

    Tattoo from Funky Rooster in Elgin, IL for $400

    I heard a saying that went "cheap tattoos aren't good, good tattoos aren't cheap", but unfortunately, the tattoos at Funky Rooster are neither good nor cheap. My tattoo was very overpriced for the quality I received and ultimately did not give me what I wanted. I was charged $400 for a substandard tattoo. It was overall an immensely stressful and disappointing experience. I would highly recommended you go to another tattoo shop.

    I came here for my very first tattoo and it was a fantastic experience. Sarah was super helpful and organized and Jose, who did my tattoo, was really cool and my tattoo that turned out even better than I had wanted it. And Paige, who did my dad's tattoo, was super kind and gave us a friendly atmosphere. I'm so glad I found this place and I will definitely be back in the future!

    One and only one my sweetheart Paige done my tattos. I know whatever I want I can trust her 100% . Very clean place, wonderful peopctle.

    Would give 0 stars if I could Paige did my tattoo and charged $175 and hour. I honestly misheard her and thought she said $75 which I thought was reasonable. We did 2 sessions she estimated it would take 6 hrs to finish after 6 hours and more $1200 later included tip my tattoo was still not finished and the quality of work did not match the price. She also booked me 2 weeks later when my tattoo was not even healed fully and went over the most irritated parts. Didn't provide saniderm either which for charging that much you think she would. I emailed her and explained how i felt in the most honest respectful way I could because I was not happy with how it was coming out and she basically told me good luck finishing my arm with someone else and I should be more sure going into a large arm piece. Also did not get my $50 deposit back. Really bummed out and disappointed I spent $1200 on not even a full finished half sleeve and the artist basically said fuck you instead of being understanding and trying to make things right.

    This place is absolutely amazing! When making an appointment Sarah was very helpful and booked me for my day off. Tonight my appointment was scheduled for 7pm and she called me to let me know I can come early if I wanted to, which was awesome! My tattoo was done by Paige and she did a phenomenal job. She was funny, friendly, and professional. I'm going to be getting all of my future tattoos done by Paige!

    Thank you to Sarah and Manny for taking care of us on Saturday! I have emailed and talked to Sarah on the phone before we went in and she was so nice to talk with. They also opened up early for us because we were going to a wedding in the evening. We all love our tattoos!

    Walked in here sometime last summer, on a weekend. I forgot her name but the lady greeted me right away when I came in through the door like an old friend who did not see me for a long time. I immediately felt welcome. I asked if they could accomodate my small cat in my wrist and yes, Artist Jose Manuel can do it! Jose Manuel was professional, soft spoken, real patient. I was unsure at first at the spot of my tattoo and he made sure I was happy with the placement because he said "you should be happy cos you're the one who's gonna wear it." That was impressive, it really meant he puts the client first. He didn't rush me or anything. Or I guess he really is a gentleman, at work or not. Tattoo wise - Jose Manuel has great attention to details. I liked how he did my little cat's whiskers and tail perfectly curled - very clean work. This tattoo arttist also was kind enough (or felt bad for me) to touch up my small little birds that were averagely done in a different tattoo shop:( All in all this is an outstanding local shoppe. The ambience of their place is very fun and relaxing and I think the whole aura in their shop is rounded up by the radiance of friendliness and warmth of the people working in here, especially the lady in the front! (Blonde, curly, bubbly lady) Rocking customer service!

    Sara painted my cane corso....amazing work!!!!

We sat in the front row, so we literally a few feet from the actors. About 20 people in attendance. The cost was pay what you want, so I gave $30 each for my wife and I. Afterward, you could give more for the actors, so I threw in an extra $20. The theater is a little tucked back from the street. It's small, and you have to go up a flight of stairs to enter the studio. All the people who worked there were nice and helpful. You could buy alcohol at a reasonable price, but I passed, as I didn't want to have to use the restroom in the middle of the performance. I plan on looking up more shows as they come out. I like the small setting and with only 7 actors performing, you could really sense their skills for each story. They also have art you can bid on in the studio, although we didn't place a bid. I'm not an artsy person but I like plays, and the theme was right up my alley. To the actors that performed that night; bravo!!!!

I would really suggest anyone looking to add beauty to their home or office at least stop by Art Post (or visit their website) because what they offer is a wonderful alternative to the outrageous prices and narrow vision of many of the other Chicago area art galleries. Chris and Michael are not at all pushy and genuinely want you to love what you purchase. Every room in my home feels bright and cheerful and makes me smile, largely because of what I've taken home from Art Post in the past two years.

    I've been to one gallery after another looking for the perfect painting for my family room. I'm…read morebummed that the hunt for a painting took me so long to visit Art Post Gallery because they have gorgeous work. I spent a lot of time examining the artwork on their website ahead of time and love how they let you search by style, size and other options that makes the art buying process a little easier. I had admired a few paintings on their site, but of course nothing beats seeing something in person. And the same paintings I liked on the site were even better in person. I liked one, Uplifting Light, so much that I asked Chris if she could photoshop it into the room I've been looking for. She said an even better option was to take it home for the weekend. She was also super helpful on what frames would work best and I loved that they could frame the painting right in their store - and she said they could hang it too! I filled out some information, gave her my credit card # and I loaded up my SUV. Turns out SUVs are good for something besides carpooling children around.. Once home I was so excited to see the painting in my family room since I was certain this was the "one." I'm so glad Chris let me try it out because while I loved the painting on it's own it just didn't work in the room- the size was wrong, the colors clashed with the colors in my room, etc. And so a few days later I sadly brought it back and handed it to Michael who was very understanding about the situation. I actually did find another painting at a different gallery over the weekend that I believe is the "one" after trying it out in the room, but I will definitely be back to Art Post Gallery when ready to find art for other rooms in my house.

We finally were able to go in on 2/26/22. And, the wait was worth it. We were the only people who were not volunteers or employees that day - we had the museum to ourselves. The building was much larger than it appears outside. You enter into the front room, which is a combination of artifacts, art, jewelry, and a gift shop. There is a room open on the north side which was, for the most part empty. This is their special exhibit room. There were some remaining items from a prior exhibit, which were very interesting. There is also a room upstairs with various items. The most interesting were the quilts and a Native American dress exhibit. Most of the museum is built to honor Native American veterans. This whole theme was fascinating. I fancy myself as an American history buff. Frankly, everything was new to me except for a display case explaining the "Code Talkers." (If you aren't sure about the code talkers - check Wikipedia or see the movie. This was fantastic. There is no entrance fee so you can just enter, but there is a place to leave donations. When you do go, make sure to donate what you can. Much of their funding relies on this.
