The Best Tattoo Shops in Chicago

Beautiful work. Both memorial tattoos done with flowers. No outline needed. Tons of compliments. Recommend!! Very comfortable atmosphere too.

This is one of the best tattoo experiences of my life. I am so glad to have connected with Angela. She is so kind, so FUNNY, and so incredibly talented. She was a joy to work with and we had such fun banter chatting during my sessions. She is a warm, compassionate, caring person, and I can tell she is so passionate about what she does and her customers. Thank you Angela!

Got my tattoo by Nicole and it is so amazing! It was just what I wanted and she did an amazing job with my memorial tattoo for my dad. He would love it. Highly recommend Nicole!
Since it won’t let me do a new review, I went back to Nicole today to get my eyebrow pierced and another tattoo! She does such amazing work. I will be going to her for all of my tattoos and piercings! NEON NIPPLES FOREVER!!!!

I have received many tattoos from Kevin at mind crushers and have never been disappointed. I get the best service and the most astonishing tattoos ever. Vibrant colors and great sizes for extremely fair prices. The salon is extremely comfortable and welcoming for everyone. I highly recommend.

I’ve gotten my last two tattoos done at Wild Wind Tattoo. The shop is so clean and has a great vibe. Rich did both tattoos and my experience with him has been great. We communicated beforehand, I provided images, he gave estimates and I scheduled my appt. I’m comfortable while in the chair, the music in the background keeps my mind at ease. I will be back for more and would definitely recommend.

Rich of Wild Wind has done four of my tattoos. I love them all and am always impressed with Rich’s work. My tattoos are highly complimented while out and about. The shop is such a fun, chill vibe. Clean. I highly recommended to a good friend, and she also had a wonderful experience at Wild Wind with two tattoos from a Rich.

Nenad is awesome! I’ve been tattooed by him twice, and he’s a great collaborator. Both times, he took a flash design and brainstormed with me to customize it. Great eye for color, gentle hand, and really chill to talk to. Butterfly tattoo is almost 2 years old and still looks fresh. Can’t wait for another session!

Walked in on Easter Sunday after someone I’d talked to online about a crown of thorns tattoo fell through at the last minute. They sized up the idea and told me to come back in an hour. Eddy had me walking out with a gorgeous replication of the image I gave him in 45 minutes, charging an extremely fair rate for the quality I received. It was a (figuratively) painless experience all the way through. I’ll be back for more & not just because I live close by!

Miles was my tattoo artist. He did a fantastic job! He was patient just handled the inking process with care. He provided me with good aftercare instructions as well. My tattoo healed with no problems. I recommend getting your tattoo done here. I posted photos in order: after the tattoo was done, the tattoo when healing and after the tattoo healed.

I received a tattoo from Dustin Golden and I am incredibly pleased. Dustin is a very talented artist. He is patient, kind and professional. The shop itself is beautiful and filled with amazing art work from all the artists. The entire staff was equally as nice and professional. Can’t say enough good things about Fudo Tattoo and I highly recommend them. Check them out. You won’t regret it.

Marty is best!!! I was there yesterday getting tattoo #4 by him. He always does an amazing job, scheduling is simple, pricing is fair. All the staff is friendly and I dig the atmosphere/music. He loves/enjoys what he does and puts his all in every piece. <3 Thank you for everything!!! I will be back…..

Great artists, Cool looking sharp and awesome service! They all are very artistic. My artist is Two Tone and he does great work!

I came into the shop as a random walk-in a few years ago and have been back about every month since. I get my art from Ed Rivera but have seen all the artists’ work up close and they’re all super talented and reasonably priced. I’ve brought 6 friends to Ed now as well and they all love their art and have been back on their own to see him. Ed has done everything on me from his own flash, special personalized designs, and same day free-handing and I’m super happy with everything I’ve gotten. The place is clean and everything I have has healed great with no issues. Highly recommend this shop for beginners and tattoo lovers alike. I have attached some of my favorites to this review.

My friend and I stopped at brown brothers as walk ins during a trip to Chicago, we were tattooed by Erin and she was amazing! We picked our designs from her personal flash and she did a fantastic job, and was super friendly and fun while tattooing us. Overall super glad we ended up with her and highly recommend Erin!

Juan and Kenny are true 5 star tattoo artist. They’ve done work on me that far exceeds what I envisioned for the final product. To top it off, they’re chill, professional and real.

Kenny is the absolute ideal tattoo artist.
Funny, skillful, and respectful. 10/10

Lucky Devil Tattoo and Piercings exceeded my expectations. The talented artists created stunning and unique designs.
