Every time I go I get sick tats. J.R Smith is professional and dope at every aspect of American traditional; I’m glad I found him in the Chicago area. I’m originally from LA and had a shop I went to back home, I didn’t expect to find such an awesome tattooer that could fill the need for American traditional I have. He’s done a few tattoos on me and currently working on my back piece. Two thumbs up!

Got a piece done by Mike. The prep and the process were great. The art is great! I'm in love. The artist was VERY good on checking in and reminding me of my agency during the process, which was great and felt safe. The demeanor of other artists in the shop was warm and friendly towards each other as well, which felt welcoming. Overall, great experience.

I’ve been getting tattoo’d for the last 15 years. Upper body, lower body, ribs, etc.. I found FUDO on IG and after falling down a rabbit hole, I came across George D.’s page (@georgedtattoos).
I’m starting an American Traditional arm sleeve. I contacted George to see if he’d be interested in doing the first piece, a shark on my rear arm/tricep. He was down and I’m glad because his work was incredible.
Leading up to the appointment, he collaborated with me in figuring out what it was I wanted. We went back and forth exchanging ideas until we landed on the one I wanted.
