“All my tattoos are done here by Asa and I’ll honestly never go anywhere else! Can’t beat the people and the quality.“

“Everyone at this shop is absolutely phenomenal. The majority of the work I have has been done by Jenna, but I’d recommend any of the tattooers here to anyone. The shop itself is super clean, super welcoming, and absolutely beautiful. Everyone is very kind and knowledgeable and you will leave with amazing results every single time. This is your sign: go get a tattoo at Prairie State Tattoo Co!“

“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.“

“I stumbled upon Alexis this year for a valentines flash, me and my husband went to. Alexis is super proficient and professional. she takes the times to listen and work with you on every tattoo. she has never made me feel bad for wanting to switch placement or even adding touches to the tattoos shes designed for me. she had the best vibes ever and her work is so so good and she really dose continue to just grow. since February I alone have 7 tattoos all from her. she just makes it so fun and always perfect! I would recommend her over and over and over to everyone and anyone who will listen. I plan on seeing her for a lifttime and feel so lucky to have found this G'em of an Artist.“

“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.“
