Tattoo Shops near Cicero

“I got a custom flash piece done by Brittany, I cannot say enough about how wonderful she is! Very talented, knowledgeable, kind and very clean. The new shop is beautiful. I’ll be returning for sure!“

“We went to Vic for matching tattoos to honor our grandmother. She not only took time to listen to our stories, she went above and beyond to cultivate and safe atmosphere. The work was high quality and nearly painless. The shop was such a great space I’m going back for a half sleeve! Highly recommend!“

“First time coming to the Ravens Nest today for a flash sale event. The atmosphere felt welcoming and the artists were super friendly. My tattoo artist Jeff was awesome. He would consistently ask how I was doing throughout the tattoo and it made the experience much more enjoyable. My little “boo” ghost came out perfect. Will definitely return!“

“Best in the business, clean , reliable, all styles are executed with quality and confidence, how highly recommend“

“Like many, I’m not one to leave many reviews, but I feel as though this one is warranted and apologize for those reading if this is long winded. Jon Davis, is hands down the most talented artist that I have come across having recently moved to the area and having tattoos, for multiple people across the country. Jon is single-handedly the best at what he does. From day one stopping in and talking to him about ideas, to first session in starting a arm sleeve for me, Jon and the staff at Vessel, made it clear without even knowing they are the best at what they do.

This next part is the more sappy side but, again with the experience I received I believe this is important to put out there. In early April, I had a close friend tragically lose his life in the line of duty. Unannounced to me at the time another friend/co-worker stopped in to see Jon. And without putting him on the spot, I’ll leave it at Jon taking care of him. When that friend of mine reached out and showed me/told me what Jon had done, it left me speechless and moved. His compassion for what he did/does goes far beyond his passion of just tattooing. It shows through that initial meeting and through his art and what he produces. Fast forward to my piece, Jon was able to flawlessly add my friend into my arm sleeve that left those who I’ve encountered who aren’t even “tattoo folks” speechless.

Nonetheless, Jon and his crew at vessel are truly the best at what they do. Everyone there is inviting and informative. Regardless of who is tattooing at the time, each and everyone of his staff makes an effort at understand and asking questions throughout the process.

Lastly, if your in the market for something small or a larger piece, call, email, or just stop into the the shop and see what everyone(bias to Jon) has to offer.“

“Jamie is so talented and does so much for the art community over the years, every piece I have from her is beautiful. shout out to Christiane as well, she is so cool and her work rules. Love this shop. So clean!“

“Adam did an amazing job with this one. This evolved from a not very fleshed out idea, to a masterpiece. Didn't even take as long, or cost as much as I had originally thought. Great work, and really cool and inviting staff.

Specialties: Great artistic work from Adam. The shading and color work was done so well.

Cleanliness: Everything was super sterile and clean. I have no doubt that my tattoo is safe.“

“The Artisan Tattoo is a great shop; clean, comfortable and the artists are top notch. Michael Conklin is a great artist and was awesome to work with. He took my basic ideas and made a stellar tattoo! I also had him rework a terrible old tattoo and it looks awesome now. He just did a chest piece for me and it is also amazing.
I highly recommend you check them out!“

“Had the absolute best experience at Cordero Collective today with the amazingly talented Jessica and the up and coming Alecia . I am in love with my new art and am already looking forward to another visit this summer. They were both so professional, but also I was completely comfortable the entire time and this was my first visit. The shop is well organized and attractive. Their signage and decor make it clear they’re welcoming to all who enter. I love that all of the artists - Jenn, Jessica, and now Alecia - have their own styles and offerings so you can truly find whatever you’re looking for. I’d happily give them top notch rating and refer you with confidence.“

My sister & I decided to get tattoos, we called on the recommendation from her future son-in-law. Charles answered the phone and kindly invited us to come in!
We arrived with limited decisions and Charles was patient and informative.

“I went to Shauna when she worked at American Ink, she did an arm tattoo for me. Over the years it was starting to fade and I just wanted to bring it back to life. Not only did she bring it back to life for me, she added some new details and made it look completely brand new, I’ll definitely be going back late December for a whole new piece. Shauna is the person to go to for touch ups or new pieces!“

“Kaitlyn tattooed freckles on me recently and she is the best! I had been wanting these a while and carefully selected who I’d want to do this for me and she went above and beyond. Gave me after care instructions that made my freckles heal perfectly. I’m so happy! Thank you Kaitlyn!“

“I had a terrible experience at Ink City, I came in here to see Mona and I am ever so grateful for her!! She switched out terrible low quality jewelry from my 2 day old nose piercing that was extremely swollen and irritated. She replaced it with better quality jewelry and gave me care instructions and was so kind and helpful!! I can’t say enough good things!! Mona is the BEST!!!“
