“We came from out of town this past weekend and had an appointment with James, from walking in the door to finishing up the whole experience was amazing! James is wonderful, he did an amazing job on the tattoo my son wanted and all around just an easy person to talk to and makes you feel very comfortable. Recommend James ten times over ! I’m sure we’ll be back again. Thank you James!“
“The shop is immaculate. The staff is great. Smooth, calm vibe. Don is the VERY best!!“
“Went yesterday Great artwork & cool artist would recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo in Chicago.“
“Yolo visit to the shop. Thankfully they had appointments for walk ins. I had the pleasure of working with Dee one of the artist and to make a long story short ill be back to work with him. His customer service and conversation was amazing. Tattoo was quick and easy. We talked the entire time and I blinked and it was over.“
“Steven completed a large tattoo on my back that was started in California. He did an excellent job and we have more in the books! Greg the owner I believe, did a great job explaining everything to me and connecting me with Steven. Great guys!“
“We drove 2 hours for Trey to do my son’s first tattoo. Trey is an extremely talented artist. His work is meticulous and beautiful. He was able to draw exactly what my son wanted and the tattoo looks exactly like the drawing. The service and talent here is excellent!“
“This place is Awesome, took my son for his first tattoo and Diamond and Brenda were sooo nice. While we were there, I decided to get my tragus pierced and Brenda did it and she was so gentle and looks awesome, I love it. Diamond who did my son tattoo did such a good job and was so gentle as well and kept him calm. He loves it!!! We drove all the way from Streamwood, IL and will definitely go back.Services: Piercings“
“Honestly, I've been debating on the severity of my need to get new ink. I had so many life obstacles and the mark of triumph is usually found in the hands of a talented artist willing to doctor you up with ink. I have one tattoo that marks a history and future that can't really be explained unless you ask me yourself. I feel connected to where I am in terms of body dysmorphia, I consider myself a christian and my body to be a temple of praise. Well what's a cathedral without stained glass? Honoring the body with glory matters and in the hands of many artists...every piece is a memento of expression and service from one human to another.To fulfill this sentiment, I thought my nose would be cute with a hole in it and DEE from Cold As Ice Ink was beyond patient, ethical and quite friendly.I totally love what I was able to convey to him and get exactly what I needed. Too many times we don't realize the importance of a tattoo artist...they listen, they feel and they write our bodies in a storyboard that only we can understand.If you are near 8100 S. Stony Island Ave.Look for DEE and tell him the college girl Sandra Coin sent ya as seen as #sandracoinent on Linkedin.“
“One of the best old school shops around hands down. All the artists and staff are very professional, and always do their best to give their clients the best tattoo possible. I've been going to this shop for years, gotten tattooed by almost every artist, and have never had anything less than a great experience. They cover multiple styles, and are always accepting walk-ins. Highly recommend.“
“Carolyn is dope. She did my eyebrows but I took them out due to me having an allergic reaction which sucked because she did an awesome job! She did my girls nipples and they look great! They never got infected and she informed us how to take care of them! Definitely thinking about coming back for my tongue piercing and also maybe some tattoos! To all the ones leaving reviews about piercings please get knowledge on the piercing before coming in we looked ours up and how to clean it and everything I mean don’t get me wrong Carolyn definitely told us the dos and donts but we still looked it up before we even chose to get what we wanted done. Don’t bash someone because you didn’t wanna get some knowledge before going in. Anyways there great! I’d go back!“
“Personally Idc what the few ppl with bad reviews have to say. I personally enjoyed the environment and got to speak with a lot of the artists. Everyone was very kind. Manny is one of the very talented artists that tattooed my own artwork on me and it came out almost better than the actual artwork i provided. Took a few hours (3-4 hours with a couple breaks in between) which is not bad at all for the size and details of the tattoo. I really enjoyed this spot and i plan on coming back for more. In fact they inspired me to possibly become an apprentice for the shop which i will definitely consider once i speak with the owner. Nonetheless this one of, if not, the best tattoo shop in the 219 area“
