Tattoo Shops near Algonquin

“Just finished getting a full arm tattoo at Fox Valley Tattoo, and I have one word: WOW. This place is next-level amazing. The entire process was quick, efficient, and honestly? Shockingly painless. I came in expecting to suffer a little (it’s a whole arm, after all!), but the artist made it feel like a breeze.

Not only did the tattoo turn out insanely clean with zero bleeding or blowouts, but the attention to detail was insane. Every line is crisp, every shade is smooth, and I walked out looking like a walking piece of art. He also touched up a previous tattoo that was messed up without hesitation saying “I was just in the neighborhood”.

And can we talk about the vibe? He was funny, personable, and genuinely awesome human. He made the experience feel more like hanging out with a friend than sitting through a long tattoo session.

If you’re thinking about getting inked big or small do yourself a favor and come to Fox Valley Tattoo. Don’t even think twice. This is where artistry meets comfort, and you walk out feeling like a rockstar.

Your skin deserves this kind of artistry.
Your soul deserves this kind of vibe.
And your wallet will thank you later.“

“Ive been to a few Tattoo Shops. When I was going though different places to find a new location I cam across Creative Tattoo. I saw Chris's work and decided to give him a shot. I first walked in the place is wide open and inviting, loved the atmosphere. I was looking for a vader stitch tattoo. Sent the work to chris amd of course every new shop and artist your hesitant. But man i have to say he knocked ot out of the park and everybody loved it that was on 9/20. Just yesterday decided to get a zombie Micket Mouse done and again knocked it out of the park. If you havent been here you need to check them out. Chris, Chad, Dylan, Matt and Josh all do amazing work and they make you feel like you are part of the family. I found my new home.“

“I've known at least 10 people who've been tattooed by Chris and each has raved about him, so when I was finally ready to get my first tattoo I knew exactly where I needed to go. Chris was SO kind, professional, clean, methodical, warm, and very patient with me as this was my first tattoo! His attention to detail from placement to actual tattoo blew my mind. Not to mention the tattoo studio itself was inviting and instantly made me feel comfortable. If you're someone who has never had a tattoo before or you already have a ton, Chris will 1000% make your first/next tattoo experience perfect all the way around!“

“Amazing place ,amazing people...Thanks Manuel for that chingon job that you din on my arm!“

“Vanity Tattoo is an excellent shop - very clean and has a professional atmosphere. I highly recommend Mike; he is a talented artist, friendly, made me feel at ease and was available for follow up questions that I had. Very happy with my new tattoo.“

“Dan not only took my ideas and brought them to life but he went out of his way to ask about different drawing, shading/ and filler ideas and took his time making sure every detail was perfect before finishing! If I could give him 20 stars I would. Thank you for always making sure every experience is fun! :)“

“First time customers with Nate. Absolutely a must go. Nate is incredibly friendly and does an amazing detailed job. Gives good advise and listens to what your looking for. We have 2 more upcoming appointments with Nate. Thank you for going a beautiful and perfect job.“

“Just got nose repierced from Josh. Gotta say, the nicest and most reliable piercer in town. I got nose pierced from a different place and I decided to take it out because it was so clunky and large. After 8 months of it being closed, Josh was able to pierce it no problem whatsoever. The jewelry sits so much better that your typical piercing. My mom got her nose pierced as well and my dad got his other ear pierced. They both love it. I would absolutely recommend coming here for piercings. If I could give it more stars I would.“

“Highly recommend!!!! Went it for a walk in nose piercing and TJ was amazing. Super friendly, explained everything, and very knowledgeable. 10/10.“

“Loved it. Colin was great. Will definitely be back.

Update: I went back almost a year later. It was just as good an experience the second
time, if not better. Colin is so personable! I have terrible social anxiety, but he made me feel very comfortable, like an old friend. Tattoo turned out great, too. I trust him to make certain creative decisions. 10/10, will be back.“

“Marco was great and his skill was very impressive. He kept a good conversation going and it honestly helped me a lot, the session flew by and it was not as painful as I had initially expected. *the bolder flower I got over 10 years ago with a different artist*“

“I came in for a cover-up, and I’m honestly blown away by the results. The artist completely transformed my old tattoo into something I’m proud to show off. The detail, color, and creativity went above and beyond my expectations.

From start to finish, the experience was smooth — the shop was clean, the staff was welcoming, and my artist took the time to really listen to what I wanted. You’d never even know there was an old tattoo underneath!

If you’re thinking about getting a cover-up, I highly recommend Don Perry at Topnotch Tattoos. He is a true professional and masters of his craft. I’ll definitely be coming back for more work in the future.“

“Today my niece and I went to Blue Magic Tattoo and got amazing tattoos from Jacob! His lines and professionalism was top notch! Highly recommended!“
