The 22 Tattoo Company

Sep 2025

I can’t say enough about @alexc.tattoos and the team at 22 Tattoo Company. Alex was my go-to artist before he moved. He did three of my tattoos right out of his apprenticeship, including my quarter sleeve, and they are still as vivid and perfect today as when he first did them. He also tattooed my dad and mom shortly after me, and those pieces have stood the test of time too. That kind of consistency and skill speaks volumes. Now that he is back in Illinois I’ll be coming back consistently. What I truly appreciate about Alex is not only his artistry but also his character. During my most recent session, he even took the time to show us other artists’ work in the shop, pointing out who specializes in portraits and unique styles. That shows how much of a team player he is—he genuinely wants everyone around him to win. It’s rare to see that kind of humility and support in such a competitive industry, and it made me respect him even more. I’m beyond thankful to have Alex back in Illinois, and I’ll always trust him with my most meaningful pieces. But I also have to give credit where it’s due—the entire 22 Tattoo Co. crew is outstanding. The shop is spotless, comfortable, and welcoming, with a team of incredibly talented artists who clearly take pride in their work. If you’re looking for an artist who combines skill, integrity, and true passion, Alex is the one. And if you want to be in an environment that feels like home while being surrounded by talent, 22 Tattoo Co. is the place. I couldn’t be happier with my experience.

Kam is the best! He’s now done 4 of my tattoos since January, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! The shop is super clean and professional, and just all around a super comfortable space. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get tattooed in the future!
