Communication prior to the appointment was prompt and informative, the atmosphere of the shop was very welcoming and low-stress, and all of my questions were answered before I committed to anything. Percy was also willing to work with me on adjustments to the design, color, and placement before we started to make sure I was totally comfortable. 10/10 and I’m extremely happy with the result!“

My 14 year old daughter got her 1st helix piercing with Marcus, and he was beyond Outstanding!! Aside from being so fun & personable, he was comforting & explained everything part of the piercing procedure to both of us. Even the other 2 people at the shop that were at the front counter upon checking in we're so much fun and personable as well. I can definitely see myself being a repeat customer!! Thank-you Marcus for your professionalism & humor.“

28 S Western Ave, Carpentersville“I’ve been coming here for tattoos and piercings for over a decade. I’m finally now writing a review because this family owned business is one of a kind. The atmosphere is old school neat, their artists are talented and personable, their staff is hospitable and attentive, the environment is clean and professional. They’re the only shop I’ll recommend because I know anyone I send will be taken care of. They’ve had some of the same artists since my first visit; you know a tattoo shop is run well when artists stay and canvases keep coming back.
P.S. Thank you Johnny. You always do amazing work, you always work around my busy schedule, you always make me feel at home.“

I was here for 3 hours and it felt so welcoming and the music playing helped calm my first tattoo nerves.

61 Polaris Dr #1, Lake in the Hills“If I could possibly give more stars I would. I was looking for a tattoo to fix a memorial tattoo that I had gotten done on a whim a couple of years ago. I set up a consultation with Carli Meadows. From the time I walked in she was professional and actually listened to what I was looking to do. I had sent her a picture of what I was looking for so she had an idea. We set up an appointment for the tattoo. When I came back Carli explained that she had researched what I was looking for and came up with a bit different design based on what I said and what the tattoo meant for me. I was blown away. What she had come up with was far better than what I had originally sent her. She did the work and I am stunned at how good it looks. I could not be happier with any part of the process if I tried and I cannot stop looking at my shin. All of staff was friendly and the shop was clean and welcoming. I will forever be grateful for Carli and the time she took to make sure I got more than I could have ever hoped for. This was the first one she did for me, but it will not be the last.“

73 S Grove Ave, Elgin“The place itself has a nice vibe with all of the art on the walls (for sale too!). I came in to ask questions and Sarah was very friendly. I then spoke with Jose to discuss the tattoo I was looking for and he too was great to work with. I was lucky enough to get a same day appt and the tattoo looks great. Im very happy with it and would highly recommend this place over others I have been to in the area.“

216 E Chicago St, Elgin“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.“

“PERFECT when you see the outside it looks like a dentist. But the inside SUPER COOL! I went to get my first here in January and all I needed was my school ID and my moms (because she’s my mom and I’m to young to go by myself) this cool old guy with a really long beard came up to me and my mom and took us back to the room you get pierced up and he probably did both ears in like 8 minutes with perfection! And they charge you for that after care spray but that last a decade and they give you theses tiny cool Silver earrings and the Diamond screws onto the part that goes in your ear, so it stays in! So really complex and it’s a little pricey but come on it’s a hole in your body for the rest of your life the ear piercing and after care stuff come up to 70$ so start saving!“
