Inkwell Tattoo & Body Piercing

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  My tattoo healed very quickly and there was no bleeding during or after.  It did leak a bit of ink the next day, but that's normal.  Everything (tat & 2 new piercings) already looks great and feel healed.  I don't have enough great things to say about these guys.  Check 'em out!

  Here is my credentials for giving a tattoo shop review - My entire back is done and I've got 3 other large tattoos that I sat for at least 4.5 hours or more.  I'm kind of a snob about where I get my work done and this snob gives Inkwell 5 stars.  
  
  I happen to be in town visiting a friend of mine and we had been planning on getting sister tattoos for a few years.  We went to some other shops in the area that will remain nameless and I was not impressed with the people and even less impressed with the shops.  Then we got to Inkwell.  When we walked in it had a better vibe and then we got talking with Jay, who ended up giving us our tattoos, and I really liked his attitude.  Definitely cool dudes here.  
  
  I hate finding a new tattoo shop because I've seen some shit work and I continue to use the same tattoo artist until I have to move.  This makes me really sad that I don't live here and can't use this place in the near future.  
  
  As for price - you get what you pay for in life.  The prices here are comparable to the other places I've been tattooed.  You could pay less somewhere else but you run the risk of getting a low quality tattoo.

  How has no one reviewed this place yet? Oh right, I think it's because no one in Illinois in this area really knows about Yelp... poop.
  
  Anyway, I love the Inkwell. I'm almost 27, but when i was 18 I went there to get my belly button pierced and the dudes were really nice. Last summer, my friends and I tried to go in on a Saturday but they were so packed that we decided not to get any tattoos. The dudes were still really nice even though they were slammed. Then I went back there a while ago and got an anchor tattoo and the dudes were really nice again. Oh, not to mention they did great work. Several people were getting tattoos while I was there and they all turned out great. A friend of mine got a huge full-back tattoo at the Inkwell and it's absolutely gorgeous.
  
  I also just like it when tattoo artists aren't huge douchebags.
  
  As for the cost, isn't any place considered "pricey" if they do great work? I would even say this place is on the lower pricey side.
  
  Oh, and one last thing, don't let the look of the place from the outside deter you. It's kind of a hole, but it's clean and they are very professional. I will definitely go back for future tattoos.
