Tattoo Shops near Island Lake

“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.“

“Had to find a new place since moving to the McHenry area. It was a first choice because they were open on Sundays. It'll be a second choice simply because the atmosphere was friendly & laid back. Everything was clean and quick and family friendly.“

“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! :)“

“Justin at Art and Soul is a legit artist. He drew exactly what I wanted directly on my arm and went to work. Hours of tattooing and this was the end result! His shop is awesome, the vibe is chill and the snack bar is 20/10. If you want to look like you just walked off the set if Ink Master - give them a call! You will not regret it. Can't wait to get my other arm done!“

“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.“

His attention to detail is phenomenal and is so awesome to conversate with while he is working on my masterpieces. Highly recommend him ! I still have more scheduled! See you soon Catarino and Thank you!“

“My friends and I came in for their Valentine’s Day Flash special, and it was so seamless and efficient! The staff were extremely warm and inviting. This place is amazing, and I highly recommend for any of your tattoo needs.“

“I really appreciate Jay & Djana (hope I'm spelling her name correct). They were some of the sweetest and nicest people ever! Helped me get my rook peircing back in, took care of me and made sure I had the right jewlery. Explained everything beautifully! totally comming back here for a tattoo when I get the cash! Highly recommended!“

“I love this place always on time , explains everything goes through the process .sets Everything up, talks everything through you get exactly what you asked for. I’ve gotten three so far and they’ve all come out Perfect I’ll be going back for more excellent work.“

“Kameron Herron is the absolute best! I have 6 tattoos done by her and they are all incredible! Her lines are so clean and crispy. She always gives me exactly what I want and always makes me feel so comfortable. She’s so kind and so patient and always takes her time to get everything perfectly lined up, exactly the way you want it. I will continue to go to her as long as she is tattooing. Her price point is amazing and she’s so talented. She has the ability to do any style which is so important and takes a lot of artistic skill. I am covered in tattoos and have seen a handful of different artists over the years and she is by far one of my favorites.“

“They do good work here... Oscar is nice and knowledgeable about art. Thanks bro??!“

“Regina is an amazing artist. I waited years to do this and I'm so glad I got Regina to do this for me.“

“This is a tattoo I’ve wanted for over 15 years, and Derek absolutely brought it to life. The color is unlike anything I’ve ever seen — truly incredible. He took his time and paid such close attention to every detail, and the result is honestly one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever seen. I would highly recommend him and his entire shop!“
