Proton Studio

So I went back to Justin to start a half sleeve. We started a Japanese dragon and it's fantastic. Justin always does excellent work for a reasonable price. I won't go anyone else!

Love this place!

My sister was in town for a short visit and after my delayed search for a shop (her first tattoo! my fourth) - we were out of options near Aurora. We called this place on our way to DeKalb and they said they weren't busy, we could walk in and get tattooed.

20 minutes later, we walk in and an artist sitting at the desk said they were booked - they don't normally take walk-ins. We left a little disappointed, as she was leaving town the next day and we had no idea why we were told we could come in and then be turned away at the door.

However - the boyfriend spoke with Chris (the owner?) and he said to come back in an hour. We did. He did her tattoo and it turned out BEAUTIFUL. Solid black image. Mine was color, a little bigger. Our prices were unbelievably reasonable, the talent was amazing and we're going to Chris anytime we want a tattoo. All around nice place, very clean and they made up for the poor first impression.
