What a group of lovable and talented artists.! The shop is extremely clean with a very welcoming atmosphere. I'm currently looking forward to having some more work done by Neil. My first piece by Neil was done over a year ago and still looks fresh! The shop is organized, and I must  mention it again, very CLEAN. When you look at each  artist's work you can tell that they put in the time and passion that is needed for high quality tattoos. I would highly recommend ILL STATE INK for your tattooing needs!!!!
Review Source:A great place to get your tattoo(s) at! The talented staff at Ill State Ink is professional, personable, passionate, and they all have a great sense of humor. Most importantly, this place is CLEAN! Many tattoo shops throughout Chicago are disgusting and questionable; this is not one of those places--trust me. Ill State Ink provides you with a number of creative ideas, and are willing to take the time to hear you out in terms of what you're looking for in a tattoo. I highly recommend checking this place out!

Review Source:I have gotten two tattoos done by Neil Carter. He has was super professional and sweet. Â The shop is very clean and parking isn't so bad. He made me feel very comfortable and relaxed when I was getting my very first tattoo and 2nd tattoo. I loved the design and we emailed/spoke all the time in regards to the tattoo I wanted while he was designing it. He designed my foot tattoo and it was beyond perfect in every way. It was like he knew excatly what I thinking. Â I have recommended Neil to many friends and they have all been pleased as well. If your looking for a great tattoo artist ask for Neil Carter!
Review Source:I have yet to get my tattoo done, but have been working with Neil on getting a design together. Very impressed with how professional and organized he is, much different experience than a lot of the other shops Ive been to in the past. All the work I've seen them doing in there looks great, too.
Review Source:I was back in the U.S over the summer and wanted to get some more work done. Neil over at IllState Ink was recommended to me by a friend. I called and made an appointment. A few days later I showed up a little late.. but wasn't a problem at all.
Work was quality and exactly what I was looking for. Very professional and clean. My experience with tattoo shops is usually getting there then waiting around for a bit as they draw and re-draw. Neil had a few drawings ready to go, we talked about them a bit, he made some slight alterations then straight to hearing that smooth metallic drum sound a needle makes as it passes in and out of your skin.
Neil was actually pretty cool to chat with too. Spent about 6 hours on his table and didn't get bored. Interesting guy. Neil had this doll pinned to his shirt, which I thought was kinda funny but he had a whole story behind it, so  I guess a little more then fashion.
Anyway I would completely go back. 100% recommend and endorse this place. Next time I'm in Chicago I'll be at Ill State Ink getting more work done, you can guarantee it.
