“Just got my doubles on my ear lobe and double cartilage piercings here and I'm so happy I chose this place. Everyone was super friendly and the place is really clean. I believe my piercers name was Anthony, I was kind of nervous so I forgot, but anyway he was super professional, knowledgeable, and explained every part of the process as well as detailed aftercare instructions and answered all of my questions. Will definitely come back for any other piercing needs!!“

“I just got a tattoo with Eli today and couldn’t be happier! Eli was very informative about the pros and cons of my selection, and ultimately guided me towards the tattoo that was best suited for me. He was very patient and genuinely wanted me to be happy with what I chose. I heavily recommend getting work done with Eli, and I will certainly be coming back for more in the future.“

“Was in town for a concert, decided to get my nipples pierced. Charlie did an amazing job. He's been in the business for a long time and knows his stuff. Very clean and professional environment. Highly recommend.“

“May be a simple piece, but Ceejay did an incredible job! Looks amazing and clean even during the healing process! I felt so welcomed here and everyone I spoke with/conversed with are so kind. Dusty and Anna were even kind enough to get me a smoothie, although dusty wouldn’t accept my money for it. Very kind people, will definitely be back for my next tattoo. Will be tempting not to come in just to play some pool however ?“

“Took my daughter here to get her ears pierced for the first time. The whole experience was wonderful. Elaine was so kind and patient, and explained everything in detail to my daughter along the way, ensuring that she was comfortable at each step before moving on to the next. She was meticulous in all she did-with the perfect hole placement, sterilization, etc. The shop is very clean and I’d definitely come back for any future piercings.“

“empire tattoo is absolutely amazing, they have very knowledgeable and friendly staff who are all so very talented! I highly recommend them!“

“Jariet has been my tattoo guy for years. He recently opened up this shop after Mother’s Day. He’s never done me wrong. He is absolutely awesome. He just touched up my tattoo a couple days ago and it looks absolutely awesome. I 100% recommend you go to him for anything you need. His touch ups are free if you do that tattoo with him the first time. Thanks Jariet!<br><br>Cleanliness: Jariet always cleans up. He always puts new gloves on, he always has rubbing alcohol on hand or next to him. He used new needles. Everything he pulls out on every use is new and clean.“

“I highly recommend you get your piercings done here and with Alexandra. She is a perfectionist and that is an awesome quality to have as a piercer. Piercings are not cheap, so it’s so nice to know that my piercer takes each piercing seriously and does excellent work each time. Alexandra used a special sterilized tool to measure and make sure my piercings were even and had equal spacing. She took her time and explained the full process. She did NOT eyeball anything and she was so clean…I mean so very clean. She used gloves and changed them as needed throughout the process. She also rests you flat, uses bright lights on the area to be pierced, has a huge mirror where you can check that you like the placement and makes you feel so comfortable from beginning to end. Alexandra practiced breathing with me prior to each piercing and this is why I think that the pain was minimal, even the cartilage piercing. Please tip well, as I have been to other “professional” piercers and they don’t do 25% of what Alexandra did. By the way, the 3 piercings I had done were the cheapest I have spent on piercings. All three were $35 total for the work and with the jewelry, everything cost $189. It’s a steal! In the photos below you will see that the studs are all the piercings I got that day (third hole bilateral lobes and one helix). I will 100% be back to see Alexandra for a hidden helix and I can’t wait!“

“Navel piercing was a 10/10 by Gizmo!! I loved how welcoming the environment is and service is def recommended“

“GRACE I can’t say enough good about this woman and professional piercer. She took us last minute, walked us thru every step of the way, gave us after care products complimentary, made us feel right at home and comfortable. I live a little ways out but I will never go anywhere else! She made me feel so relaxed. Please don’t go anywhere else go to GRACE AT MERIDIAN LINE TATTOO IN OAK PARK YOU'LL BE SO GRATEFUL YOU DID . She is beyond the best at her passion.“

“Went here for a tattoo for my husband and had a wonderful experience with Jon. The artist was exceptionally skilled and very talented. Jon was kind, and willing to work with a piece that I had drawn for my husband. There were very fine line pieces that Jon captured perfectly, and he was also gracious in giving my husband a break when his arm got sore.This tattoo was very significant for us, so it was important for us to get this done right.Scheduling was a breeze, and the owner was courteous and willing to work with our schedule. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a clean, and professional tattoo experience in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.Side note, I was also very grateful they allowed me to watch The Golden Girls while I waited, lol.“

“I love love love this shop! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I’ve gotten a few piercings here but most recently my first tattoo from Mike and my vertical labret from Freddie“

“From the first time I met George until the last time he inked me he has always been prompt, professional, and made sure I was comfotable during the whole process. You can tell he knows what he's doing cause the pain was always bearable, some other so called "Tattoo Artist" that act like they're digging a ditch. It's about that time, so I'll be seeing you soon. Good luck and best wishes with biz.“

“Great place for a tattoo! Artists were friendly and extremely talented. Check them out“

“I had work done by Eris. He did an absolutely amazing job with my tattoo. Every artist at Venture does great work.“

“The ABSOLUTE best! Mike is so kind and patient. He'll take the time to ensure you're happy with the design and placement before beginning. His work is always top notch, no matter the style. I have several pieces done by Mike and I frequently have strangers approach me to ask who did them! I love showing off his work and can't wait to get more in the future. Can't recommend him enough!!“

“The shop was very clean and Debbie was not only super helpful explaining how to care for my piercing, but absolutely painless! Thank you so much!“

“I had a tattoo done in Hawaii about 9 years ago. And as I was looking at it . It needed some updating. I had gone by there shop a few times but never went in. There was a group of us that wanted to get some artwork done. So I went to check it out and 4 1/2 hours later I came home with an update tattoo. Everyone was surprised and liked the artwork. My wife and daughter made their appointment that day. Darrell did my work and would highly recommend him. The gentleman that did my wife and daughters did great job too . My daughter and I are going to have a day out and have some more artwork done.“

“Great people to do work for. Very friendly atmosphere Highly recommended. Very good at communicating“

“Alex pierced my daughter's ears. Very professional and patient. We will definitely return if she ever wants additional piercings!“

“They have excellent customer service. Me and my daughter experience customer service. They also asked was everything was fine before they did our service. That was not my first time there. We were there last year. I will give the five stars. All the employees are all nice and very friendly. Thank you for having a smile on their faces.“
