I have been wanting to get my nose pierced for over 10 years, but never got up the courage to do…read moreit! I spent several hours looking for a trustworthy piercing shop in my area, and finally exhaled when I found Electric Tattoo Parlor! I scheduled an appointment online with Ian for about a week out. I arrived to my appointment on time and Ian was there to welcome me! It was very clean inside and I appreciated that piercings are done in a private room in the back. Ian walked me through the whole process and showed me how everything is sterilized before the piercing. He quickly put me at ease! Ian did a great job with my nose piercing and walked me through aftercare. I was able to get everything I needed for aftercare at the shop. He also has you come back 2-4 weeks after the piercing for a checkup and to swap out to a shorter post! The fact that they have you come back to ensure the piercing is healing well shows that they actually care about the quality of their work. I only had my piercing yesterday, but I LOVE it and I'm so happy with my experience and how it turned out. I have already recommended Electric Tattoo to several friends and will DEFINITELY go back whenever I want another piercing!

It was a long time since my friend and I have been pierced, and he put on some sick music that helped relax us and answered all of our questions so it was great. The price was $60 for doubles which included the jewelry, which was not bad at all when comparing other shops around Crystal Lake. Will definitely be returning in the future for my next one!

He actually cares and wouldn't put in a new one bc it was so badly infected which is really good that he cares that it heals correctly. Super funny too we were both comfortable and everything. I have gotten many piercings and he was the best. I recommend him 100% for piercings!!

Christian gave me my first (and only so far) tattoo. It was a very nonchalant experience, I told…read morehim what I was looking for, sent him a few pictures, he mocked the drawing up, I revised twice and he happily obliged with re-sketching them. I was surprised with how laid-back everything was, especially because I had to re-schedule my original appointment, showed up late and was indecisive (went with the 1st sketch he drew for me in the end) The tattoo I chose was a fox (pure coincidence the place was called fox valley tattoo). It is a full color tattoo, he tried to sway me from having a blue background and I now understand why however if I could go back and change something I would not dare. He asked me what I wanted to watch on TV but I let him decide as I wanted the guy doing the work to be more relaxed than I myself (makes sense, who want's a tattoo from someone who isn't in an artsy mood) The price was PERFECT, that's all i can say about cost. Go get an estimate and you will see. I will be returning form my next tattoo very soon.

So we came back about an hour or so later and ended up having to still wait a little bit but, they have a large, comfortable, and very clean waiting area! They also have water bottles available to customers, which I think is smart at any tattoo shop. Everyone was super nice. They run the facility very professionally. By the time the piercer got there, he had a few people waiting other than us but was great about taking his time with my friend. Chris was very nice, professional and extremely clean. He made sure to ask my friend what exactly he wanted and it was quick and painless and affordable! I am loyal to my tattoo artist but if I ever needed somewhere new to check out I would definitely go back. I plan on returning to that piercer to get my nose done! So if you're looking for a nearby trustworthy tattoo shop, definitely check them out. I'll share a few pictures of the waiting area. I did not get pictures during the piercing process because it's a pretty small room.
