I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Super cute studio, really clean with a lot of natural light. I got a flash tattoo with Anna Schafer and it was a really great experience. She made me feel super comfortable and welcomed. We changed the stencil a bunch of times to make absolutely sure it was perfect. Probably my favourite experience getting a tattoo.“

My eyebrows are really tricky so I know I was giving her a challenge from the start but she effortlessly killed it. This was the most life changing thing I have done in recent memory!! Klarissa and everyone at Cyprus are so sweet and talented and accommodating! 11/10 would recommend“

I could tell they really cared about their work! I’m really happy with my piercing and would recommend Matthew if you’re looking for piercing services.“

“Genuinely such a great place. Me and my friend went to get matching tattoos and it was our very first time (we were so nervous) however we were helped by Irene who was such a welcoming and supportive artist who ensured we were very comfortable the entire process. Truly a great experience and I would definitely recommend to any beginner looking for a welcoming environment and affordable tattoo!“

Not only is the tattoo beautiful, but the whole experience was top- notch- professional, clean and comfortable from start to finish. The studio was easy to find, spotless and had a great atmosphere. I am beyond impressed and will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommended!“

“I had an amazing experience at Logan Square Tattoo! From start to finish, the shop has such a welcoming and professional vibe. Cori and Jeremy are both incredibly talented artists who not only have an eye for detail but also make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process. They took the time to listen, collaborate on the design, and make sure everything was exactly what I wanted. The shop itself is clean, relaxed, and filled with good energy. My tattoo turned out even better than I imagined, and I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Cori and Jeremy, as well as the entire Logan Square Tattoo team, to anyone seeking top-quality work in a friendly and professional environment.“

“Our artist is Garrett and he's absolutely amazing. A true artist for sure with a strong attention to detail and an absolute perfectionist. We've had a few pieces done by him and my husband and I couldn't be happier. The rest of the guys are also amazing and are now part of our family. Pony, Raf, Tom and Gary are all brilliant artists and just a lot of fun to be around. The environment is so welcoming and chill.“
