“To say I LOVE is an understatement, I’m obsessed with it, and this meant so much to me I’m so thankful that Brenton was able to see my vision he was so patient and took his time, it looks so pretty :)

I will definitely be coming again ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I couldn't be happier with my new tattoo! I've had several done over the years, but this is by far the best work I have received. The detail and artistry are absolutely stunning. 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!“

“Jason was awesome. Great artist and a really interesting guy to talk with while getting inked.“

“I booked a haircut the day before with Liset, and she did a phenomenal job. I am a new client, and she asked all the right questions to know what i wanted, and put her own obvious experiential touch to the process. In and out in 45 minutes for a skin fade, which can definitely take a bit longer. Will certainly be going back.“

“I had an excellent experience getting my eyebrow pierced by Matthew. They gave clear communication, and overall had a positive + professional demeanor. 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.“

“Excellent tattoo studio! I got my first tattoo here, and Miles was fantastic — he listened carefully, guided me through the entire process, and his attention to detail was incredible. He’s a true perfectionist who put his full dedication into his work. I’d love to come back again soon!“

“Wonderful experience with Louis. He took so much time to make sure my tattoo looked perfect and it did!“

“Huge thanks to Angelina for the incredible work. She really brought my vision to life with amazing detail and sharp linework. You can tell she actually cares about the quality of her art. Don't hesitate to reach out to her if you want a piece done right“

“11/10 experience. all the artists are well versed and very kind. Clean line work. we came during a flash sale and still had a good experience“

“Jaclyn did my brows and my god, this woman is a miracle worker. Due to extensive scarring we ended up having to do three sessions spread out over more than a year and Jaclyn was an absolute trooper despite my specific need being so much more elaborate than expected. Jaclyn is a true artist and the work she did on my eyebrows has literally changed my life. I’m so glad I chose Cyprus studio, I quite literally couldn’t be happier.“

“Phenomenal experience. I had a vision, and Bryan helped bring it to life with beautiful details and colors. Top-tier work. Money well spent. I will be back.“

“Had the best experience at Great Lakes Tattoos. The shop is clean, welcoming, and has a great vibe.

Huge thanks to Nick for my black fern tattoo - the lines are crisp, the shading is beautiful, and it turned out even better than I imagined. He’s professional, easy to work with, and clearly an amazing artist.

I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Got a nose piercing done and everything went by so smoothly! The workers are so nice and comforting.“

“John Wayne brought my tattoo vision to life and I'm very happy with the results! I requested a simple fine line band around my ankle, and John was very detailed in making sure the tattoo looks great from all angles and the lines are very clean. Definitely recommend.“

“Legitimately amazing vibe in here. Talented artists, lovely music selection, and the owner was really nice to talk to too. Shoutout my guest artist, Mente!“

“I got my first tattoo here with Tony! He did a great job. I was nervous but it was super easy! Highly recommend!!“

“been to a lot of shops, this one provided the best walk-in experience i've had. mikael was great! super chill, was very focused, did great work.“

“I absolutely love this shop I have 5 tattoos from them and they never disappoint. Adrian and Andrew are amazing artists and really take care of their customers! I HIGHLY recommend this shop!!!“

“David is an amazing tattoo apprentice. He listens and has a great teacher Mario. I came to Mario at my time of need (without realizing it) and both Mario and David worked on my piece. Without them I would not have progressed in my journey to becoming a pastor. Jesus is the way. Through their kindness I can do better. Thank you David.“

“This is a clean, classy and professional place with top notch artists! Nestor did incredible work, putting a realistic footprint from my baby daughter on my arm. Worth EVERY penny.“

“Popped in with the family - “Chucho” got us taken care of. I am in from Cols. OH - I just found me a now spot when I am in town.

Great service, clean environment
Highly Recommend“

“I’m quite far from Tattoo Avenue but I keep coming back for Vanessa. She has tattooed me since 2019. Tattoo Avenue is clean and comfortable. The communication with Vanessa is always on point so she really brings your ideas to life. She’s efficient. She’s able to be quick without rushing. Her work is never sloppy and the details are vivid. Her art style is my favorite. She can do delicate flowers or the most extensive line work. She just did this amazing portrait and the shading is perfect. I always get compliments and I thank her for always making me feel like a badass while sending me home with easy aftercare instructions. The other tattoo artists are also friendly and professional. Great for first timers! I’m here for the long haul though.“
