Chicago Tattoo Co

I was tattooed by Christian. He did a phenomenal job and made me feel so comfortable. I had a great experience and I would recommend this place to anyone.

Small but a great job by Will. The store is clean, and the staff is very nice and accommodating. It was my sister’s first tattoo and they were great with her.

Freddie is amazing for piercings. Nicole did her research to get her ears re-​pierced after two piercing failures over 5 years. You have to be 16 and need a form notarized with parent present. But Freddie took time a few days ahead of time to talk to us. I hope my review doesn’t make this place unpopular to the ‘cool kids,’ but I heard they had a good reputation and I wasn’t disappointed. We visited another shop and they pale in comparison of thoroughness and focus on quality of materials. I recommend to anyone over 16, which is the only folks they will service. :)

AMAZING place to go for piercings! After a bad experience in another shop, Freddie did my beautiful daith cartilage piercing. He made me comfortable and really showed interest in what I wanted and was concerned about. He even called to let me know he accidentally over-​charged me! Talk about honest!!! Freddie only does piercings, so he really hones in on the art of it, yet still acts humble! You would be crazy to go anywhere else!

Ive had piercings and just recently a tattoo done here and it is a fantasic place! I am super paranoid when it comes to body mods because i want to make sure i can trust the person doing it.
Ill start with the piercings i had done back in december 2014. Freddie was so nice about everything! Informed me of what was going on wvery step of the process. The whole experience was very comfortable and the piercings look amazing (2 forward helix)!
For my tattoo i went to see tim and he was the best! I had a tattoo done at another shop a few years ago and that artist didnt talk for the entire 4 hours. Im kinda weird when it comes to pain. I need to joke around and laugh or i will get sick. With tim he actually talked and joked around with me and the friend i had with me which helped out a LOT. i dont want to admit but i dod almost pass out from the pain (foot tattoo). Tim made sure i was ok before we started again getting me a snack and a soda! To me that was above and beyond as my. previous experience i only got up and walked around for a min. On top of everything my tattoo looks amazing! Very happy i came here and will for sure will be coming back.

I had 2 of my 3 tattoos done by Fred (the owner) and he did an amazing job. His artistry is exceptional, I brought in 3 different images of what I wanted to be incorporated into my tattoo and he nailed it! I’ve had the latest tattoo for nearly 2 years and the first by him for 4 years and both still look amazing. He was very gentle and kept me entertained the entire time (my last piece was 3.5 hours). I will continue to get any ink and/​or piercing from Chicago Tattoo. Thanks Fred!

Been here before for tattoos, always satisfied, but this review is for the piercing. Went in there to get help with a badly infected piercing (the piercing was done somewhere else and it was actually just a jacked up ring that messed it up, so that was my own fault)
Their piercer was great, very professional, clean, good humored, communicated well, and really sympathetic. Did a really great job taking ii out. It was as painless as it could be, and if I would have done it it would have jacked it up even more. Just all good experiences and a comfortable environment, which is important when needles are involved.

I found this shop after being referred by one of my good friends. It had been years since I have gotten a tattoo, and I didn’t know if any personally here in Orlando. When I first walked in, the shop seemed to be cold and unwelcoming, but that really changed as soon as I started talking to the artists. I ended up going with Von, and I don’t regret that decision. He was really thorough, and we even had a good conversation while he was tattooing me (which helped take my mind off of the pain). I was extremely happy with the way my new tattoo turned out. I will def be going back when it is time for my next!

Had an awesome first-​tattoo experience with Von. He listened to my ideas, made them better, and made the whole experience comfortable and easy. I really love my tattoo. I would highly recommend this place and this artist– I drove 90 minutes for my original consultation and then again for my appointment and it was definitely worth it. Not too steep price-​wise, either.

I was looking to get a clean minimalistic tattoo to pay homage to my life long following and pride which is Real Madrid CF. I am not going to lie, I did do some shopping around, but Chicago was by far the best looking shop, and it emitted a good vibe, a place where I did not feel intimidated or made me feel as an outsider.
I was approached by Will, and he herd my ideas, gave me some pointer and sketched out a better rendering of my original design. As my face turned to amazed I asked him «when he would be able to do it?», and as I finished the sentence he stated «right now… Why wait?» So I agreed.
I was amazed as Will, meticulously and with some level of obsessive compulsive disorder, prepped his work area for the job at hand. Very profesional. Getting the Tattoo done was the easy part, and throughout the process I chatted up with some other members of the Chicago Tattoo Team such as Von, Rocky, and Fred. They made me feel welcome as they did to their other customer who where getting ink of there own.
Overall I must say I was very satisfied with the atmosphere, the artwork and job of Will, and the whole experience i got at Chicago Tattoo Co. I will definitely recommend to anyone and everyone who might want to get a tattoo no matter how big or small. Mine was small, but it’s just what I wanted. Thanks Will for everything. Peace, and Hala Madrid!

The place is awesome and Gabe did a outstanding job and also the place is very professional. I like it and will continue to go.

Had my tattoo done here a while back and was so satisfied with their work that I went back and got my second tattoo here. They were very patient in this shop and they have a good selection when it comes to body jewelry. Would recommend this shop to any of my friends.

I recently went in to check out this shop. CLEAN and FRIENDLY! I had a consultation with Fred for a rose shoulder piece, which I’m getting done in a couple weeks (too excited!) and Fred spent almost an hour with me just talking and explaining. He listened and gave amazing input. These guys have tons and tons of experience and know what they’re talking about! They look out for you and your body, which is awesome. Normally tattoo/​piercing shops will give you anything you want as long as you pay, but here no matter what, they always look out for you :)
I have 6 tattoos, this will be my first one from Chicago Tattoo Co, but I have several friends who have been tattooed here! All say nothing but good things.
Read the 18 «filtered» reviews down below! Obviously this shop is not getting the rating it truly deserves due to Unilocal’s filter system.

I love this place Fred is the only guy in the world that I would trust to do my tattoos and so far he’s given me 7 of which I absolutely love!!! I would recommend him to anyone. He is very professional runs an extremely clean and welcoming shop and his prices are very fair. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Defiantly a five star place but apparently if you give this place five stars Unilocal takes the review off as it doesn’t believe it to be a true review… Unilocal you may want to look into that I’m a genuine customer and would love to give them a five star rate!

Sorry guys, I wanted to love you, Chicago pride in the South, but you killed me. You hooked my roommate up well with her piercings but I had a dermal done on my chest that was not set deep enough and it literally just fell out. Yeah spent an hour looking for it in class, ha. Anyways I called back to get it put back in (after I let it heal), still having the jewelry and ya’ll said it couldn’t be put back in the same spot and that it would be $ 65. You have a clean place and a fine staff but that is a little ridiculous. I called my tattoo place back home and a few other places to ask if I can have it put in the same spot and they said no problem, so I am not sure where that came from. I just went down the street and got it redone for $ 35, and they said they would redo it if it falls out for free.

I had my first tattoo done here almost a year ago by Marten. A couple of friends recommended that I go here, and I am incredibly happy that I did! The shop is clean, the portfolios are organized along the walls, they have good music playing, and the jewelry is displayed neatly.
I got a simple tattoo, and it was definitely uncomfortable (I got it on my ribs), but it passed by quickly. Marten is a great artist, and if you want something realistic, he can do it incredibly well!
I also had my belly button pierced here by Freddy over a year ago, and it never got infected. He’s a sweet guy and is extremely gentle with a needle!

Very kind people who all greeted me as soon as I walked in. I came to get new plugs and go up a gauge size. I didn’t know stretching my ears was included in the very reasonable price of the jewelry, so for not jumping on the opportunity to rip me off like some might have tried, this seems like an honest establishment.
My friend also got her first tattoo here with me not long ago. Fred made her very comfortable during the process and she loved the end result.

Very friendly staff and very clean environment which I expected for a tattoo and piercing shop (even though some don’t always seem too clean).
I got one new tattoo here and they touched up an old one and made it look even better than the original. They did exactly what I wanted.
The price was a little steep but it was worth it for the excellent job they did
