Space: As an Oak Park Studio "walk-in" looking to get my 7th tattoo, I was pleasantly surprised by…read morehow easy scheduling, paperwork, and service were. The studio gives "calm/peaceful" vibes, which helps me not be overstimulated or anxious. The shop is clean, tranquil, and shares global inclusive art creativity. Tattoo Artist: Jonathan was amazing! He greeted me with a genuine welcome and readiness to help. He explained my options, created my design, and was kind, professional, SKILLED, and hilarious. His positive, down-to-earth energy was contagious. I felt spoiled with VIP treatment the entire time. I LOVE my newest tattoo and will be back for another. Thank you, JP and Ageless Arts Tattoo & Body Piercing.

I'm splitting this review into two experiences because they were honestly very different…read more 2021 | Nostril Piercing (5 stars) I had my nostril pierced by Jeff in 2021, and it was genuinely a great experience. I first came in for a consultation and then returned about a month later for the actual piercing. Jeff walked me through the process, explained everything, and made me feel comfortable. We chatted the entire time, which says a lot because I'm not naturally a super chatty person. The piercing healed beautifully, and I kept the original jewelry in for almost five years. May 2026 | Jewelry Change / Replacement (2 stars) Fast forward to May 2026, I bumped my nose at work and my jewelry fell out. I had already been wanting to switch out my jewelry, so I figured this was the universe giving me a reason. I booked a same-day appointment online, which was super convenient. This visit, however, felt like a completely different experience. The front desk staff member greeted me, but the interaction felt disengaged and not particularly welcoming from the start. I was explaining what happened and mentioning that I'd had my original jewelry in since 2021. While she kindly offered to place my old jewelry in a baggie, which I appreciated, the overall interaction felt very transactional rather than consultative. I specifically asked for recommendations for everyday, long-term wear jewelry because I don't plan on changing it often. I also asked about rose gold for everyday wear, hoping for a little guidance from someone who works with jewelry every day. The response I got was basically, "Why not?" It came across dismissive rather than helpful. The jewelry explanation itself felt confusing, and the interaction overall felt very blah. I'm warm and jokey by nature, so maybe I notice energy more than most, but boutique experiences, especially piercing studios, should feel a little more welcoming and consultative. I wasn't expecting over-the-top bubbly, but I was expecting someone who seemed interested in helping me choose jewelry I'd likely be wearing for years. I almost walked out, honestly. I stayed because Jeff ended up installing the new jewelry. But overall, the visit didn't feel great, and I left disappointed considering how positive my original experience had been. I still tipped, force of habit , but I walked away feeling like the service didn't match the experience I remembered from Luxe. Customer experience matters, especially in a boutique setting where people are trusting you with body jewelry and looking for guidance.

I'm honestly disappointed to be writing this because I've had positive experiences here in the past…read moreand truly like the business owner. However, from the initial phone call to walking into my recent appointment, the energy felt completely different. There seem to be new staff members, and unfortunately the experience was not welcoming at all. I'm not sure of the associate's name (it wasn't Alex), but she was noticeably rude throughout my visit. Instead of feeling guided or taken care of, I felt like I was inconveniencing her. There was tension around simple things -- like me wanting to look at the jewelry options or asking about pricing before deciding on a chain. As a customer, that's part of the process. It should feel enjoyable and peaceful, not rushed or begrudging. I value good service and intentional experiences, especially when I'm spending my hard-earned money. This visit felt uncomfortable from start to finish, and I honestly couldn't wait for the appointment to be over. I'm sharing this in hopes that the atmosphere and customer care return to what it once was. Until then, I'll likely hold off on returning.

I had my work done by Eris and not only is he a very nice welcoming individual but his skills are truly out of this world.

My tattoo turns head everywhere I go and I couldn't be happier.

I can't say enough about Venture Tattoo. Anthony did a custom half-sleeve for me. It was my first…read moretattoo, but won't be my last. Anthony is an artist, plain and simple. He's an unbelievable talent who is also soft spoken and humble about his work. I know all the artists there are excellent, but if you're looking for something big, he's awesome. He worked for 6 hours on my arm. Got it done in one session, and because he is so good, pain was minimal and after care was painless (which surprised me). I waited 43 years to feel confident enough to get a tattoo. Anthony was the perfect artist for me and I can't wait to get back in there for the next one. I almost never write reviews like this but just want to make sure Anthony and Venture get their due respect from me after my experience there. Thanks. See you guys in October!
