Great Lakes Tattoo

Everything youd want out of a tattoo shop. Local artists, great energy, funny banter, and extremely professional. I walked in with two simple designs and Brandon knocked it out of the park. Im so happy with how they turned out! The whole shop is spotless (extremely clean) and will absolutely be coming back next time Im in Chicago. 10/10 big love!

Nicest tattoo shop I've ever been to. Great staff and all the artists are top notch. You don't feel pressured or doubtful about the work you get done. Highly recommend. I went with Mario and will be going with him in the future. Very happy customer.

I had Nick for my walk-in tattoo. He was very kind and did a great job on the tattoo!

Was told to come in to have a hand tattoo that wanted to get reworked get looked at by an artist. The man at the front was very friendly, I sat and waited for a while before being greeted by Matt. I explained my situation and he grabbed my hand without asking and inspected the tattoo in which he didnt even ask to touch me. Then he proceeds to tell me that the tattoo is unworkable and I need to have it lazered off. Could MAYBE forgive this remark if he hadnt been so rude to me. He then told me that he could retouch the red (the tattoo is pink) and it would cost 350$. Being a woman who get tattoos I am always looking for artists that treat people with kindness, gentleness, and respect since I am a survivor and anything dealing with my body is sensitive. This interaction not only frustrated me on a general customer service level but I felt mistreated in a place where I am vulnerable. There is no room in the tattoo industry for this outdated pushy, aggressive, mean attitudes from artists. Being a tattoo artist does not give you permission to treat people who come into the shop (especially woman) poorly. Would not recommend this shop if you want a positive experience.
