The Best Tattoo Shops in Chicago

He was super nice!!! Very clean. Very professional. Definitely would go back!

Went in for a nose piercing. Everyone was kind and the man who pierced my nose did a great, quick job. The tattoo art in the shop is beautiful and has me dreaming up my next tattoo idea. I’ll definitely be coming around again!

Artists are really nice, super professional, and very helpful. They have a variety of options regarding tattooing styles, so you’re sure to be able to find something that meets your needs. The atmosphere is clean, interesting, and calming.

Olive was really patient and careful with her art and she made the whole experience enjoyable.

Came in for a flash sale a while ago. I was able to pick my tattoo and got in the chair within the hour! I’m soooo inlove with my tattoo. The shop was clean and organized. Can’t wait to go back! Pete was my fine line artist btw!

Walked in around 6:30 and waited for all of about 45 seconds. Meet Adrian, signed a form, checked ID, and got walked to the piercing station. Adrian walked me through the process, planned his work, professionally set up, kept me out of my own head, and guided my breathing. Each time he made a new hole in my head, he would check in with me. Google only has 5 stars, and he deserves 10!

As for the shop. Clean, tidy, exciting, and (best of all) bar adjacent! If you’re on the lookout for an amazing tattoo/piercing shop, look no further. I’ll absolutely be coming back for more piercings and ink soon.

Tattoo Factory is the only place that I trust because they are professional, clean and have gifted artist. Whether I created my own tattoo print or they did, it came out excellent. Piercings were delicate and precise. Listened to what I wanted and executed well.

For my first time here I had an amazing experience. Kidd Joe put amazing detail into my gorilla piece and I couldn’t have asked for a better artist for it! I highly recommend going here for tattoos not only for great quality work but also for the experience between client and artist and professionalism that they have here! I’ll be back!

Been going to Kidd and the Tat Cave for every one of my tattoos and have nothing but a great experience and exceptional finished product every time! Kidd is an absolute professional and everyone in the Shop jokes around and has a great time there. Truly feel like a family friend every time I walk in. Excellent place for tattoos! Great place for piercings! I highly recommend Kidd and the Tat Cave to anyone and everyone who is thinking about getting a tattoo or a piercing!

The tattoo I got done from this place is still looking nice but it needs a touch up for sure. I’ll definitely come back for more pieces. Be careful though some tattoo artist charge way more than others.

I had an appointment with Victoria and she was incredible. My tattoo is amazing, she’s super talented, and very, very kind. While there’s no much privacy, the environment was very friendly and I was comfortable the entire time. Victoria made sure I was all right throughout the tattoo, and offered snacks and water if I needed it.

I highly recommend Victoria, but anyone else who stopped by to see how my tattoo was going was great, too. Other artists made sure I was comfortable on the chair and encouraged her work — all really friendly to one another. I will be back.

Very pleased with service and will be back again for another tattoo. I was helped right away when I walked in and everyone was very friendly. Special Thank You to Jameson who did my tattoo. He was very helpful, did a great job with tattoos, and I am very pleased with the way he did the shading of colors! My tattoos look so magical and amazing! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

I walked in a tad nervous to get my standard lobes and nose pierced but everyone was very nice and easy going. Mandy did all the work and she did an incredible job. I didn’t feel a thing, the placement of all 3 piercings were perfect, and she wrote down instructions on how to take care of everything through the healing process as well as how long it’ll take them to heal. Couldn’t beat the price for the quality of work done. This is the place to go and if you do ask for Mandy!

10/10!! Jake has done two brilliant pieces and I couldn’t be more thrilled! hospitality is phenomenal, the atmosphere jovial and welcoming, and the shop itself very clean <3 while getting a piece done today, some of the other crew members were having some genuine Friday laughs and it just felt great to be in that environment. thanks Jake! thanks Jade Dragon 😊

Love the tattoo I got for my birthday only con was the price if we were offered the 10% off being first time customers but other then that great place
