They pierced my tongue piercing way too far back, and wayyy too short of a bar. i paid money basically for nothing but pain, and also my septum they left one side more up than the other. never going back
Staff is very welcoming, service is phenomenal! They are my go to for my piercing! Third time customer and will continue to patronize!
I will have to say they all are extremely talented. I love the services they offer, and they’re very kind and for me my tattoo artist was TC. I will say he was very gentle. I did not have any scarring. I had my whole left side tattooed with stars, a crescent moon on my knee, and a couple of extra details I must say I love it and I am returning back for more work. I also received a nose piercing that I said I would never do, but I will say that experience was not bad either overall. I would definitely give them five stars plus. See you soon.✨⭐️✨
Can definitely get better work done for the price. Amateur work at best.
I called before leaving my house. i live 45 minutes away and I asked if they take walk ins and the person said yes. I asked if they have a cut off time and she said they close at nine so whoever is there already at nine they will take the first three then cut off. I left my house after speaking with them and when I arrived they said they couldn’t take me. I came more than an hour before closing. The person asked me who I spoke to and I told her in detail what they explained and they had no idea of such a policy. I don’t know why i was given that information I would have never left my house. I have been pierced here before so i am not complaining about the quality of work but the professionalism lacks and I will not be returning.
Jessica was so amazing I came into look for a nose ring and she was the best service I ever seenI will be coming back to get my eyebrows done. Go chi town. U the best. Happy Nrw year.
I got my septum done, and they were very professional and nice. I got light-headed after and was quickly offered candy and a place to lay down so I didnt pass out. Ill definitely be coming back for any future piercings!
Everyone was amazing and very professional and did a great job
I went to get my snake bites done( lip piercing) they were the only place to do lip piercings at 15 so I was skeptical, but the receptionist is a sweetheart, the piercer was very cooperative and sweet. I almost passed out when he did my second one, he was very sweet he gave me candy and soda and told me just to lay down. If I ever wanted a peircing Id 100% go here its also decently cheap we did both sides of my lip for 70$
Always a great feeling knowing that you have a great professional and best art that you can see. Have had several art and/friendly experience with the crew.Cant wait till next time.
I bought 2 sets of jewelry for my piercings last week, though they needed to order one. They ordered it, called me within the 5 days they said they would and when I picked it up the woman that helped me remembered my name and had it ready immediately! Very prompt and excellent service. I will be back here for any other tattoos and piercings in the future.
My friends got their piercings here, a rook and a septum. My friend who got her septum was able to choose between a big and a small piece of jewelry. The piercer was soft spoken and very kind. She was on the verge of passing out afterwards and the cashier asked if she felt sick and to tell them if she felt dizzy. She said that she was not alright, and was immediately helped with a small cup of candy and given a can of soda to lay her head onto. She was taken care of! Lovely shop, very kind people.
Love this place, always do as u ask, their work is excellent.
I have gotten every, single, one of my tattoos from this shop. The staff is always super friendly, the place is clean, great atmosphere, darnell does an amazing job and he’s the 🐐❤️
I went with my sister feb 1 2023 to get our piercings done, when we first walked in the guy was super nice & told us what to do. the staff & piercer were so nice, & patient with us the piercer was so funny & very careful with us. We definitely recommend coming here!
Everyone was very nice and informative. Special thanks to Darnell. I finally got not just my 1st tattoo but 2nd one to. Im very happy with my anime tattoos. ^_^
I got a tatoo and 2 cartilage piercings here in the same day. Staff were friendly and studio was sanitary and safe. Tatoo was lovely and great quality and very reasonably priced. Piercings were great and only $20 each. Only downsides are they only pierce a certain times of the day, the parking lot is very small and it can be very difficult to park, and they only take cash. There is an ATM inside so that is helpful but it does take a small fee.
My cousin, boyfriend and their friend had gotten their ear piercings from here within the last 3 months and they got both earlobes pierced for $25 in total. I called and asked before I got my piercing how much it would be for both earlobes in total and they also said $25 FOR BOTH EARLOBES. After getting 4 earlobe piercings, the cashier says it’s $100 and I expected it to be $50 since I had called and asked. When my cousin mentioned she got them for $25, the piercer said that the last time he had prices that low were before covid even though my cousin, her friend, and boyfriend had gotten it within the past three months. It’s one thing if they changed the prices but the fact that I called and asked to make sure it was $25 for a set of earlobe piercings because it’s a 40 minute drive and they said yeah it was $25 for both in total. I even made sure that I was not talking about the pricing of one earlobe.
Super clean and great piercer! they only take walk ins and i recommend calling before you go to make sure the piercer is there so you dont get your hopes up. always a good selection of jewelry to get pierced with. ive gotten 7 piercings from there and didnt have a problem with any of them!
I loved them before but even more now my daughter got her nose re-pierced and they took amazing care of her after as well as during I have a whole new found respect for your shop Thank you
This place is the best place to get piercings at. I got my nipples done here last week by Ricardo and thought I had a problem with one. Today I came back to address it. And Ian helped me out with getting a bigger bar in for it to heal better. On top of great service and prices, LGBTQ+ friendly is a big plus! 100/10 would come back for more piercings!
I got my septum done there right? It was a little later at night and there were quite a few people there but that didnt bother me. Anyways the guy who did my septum was super friendly. He took his time, didnt rush anything. He let me pick out either the hoop or the bullring. When I was all finished it wasnt crooked or anything and it wasnt excessively bleeding. Ive had it for a few weeks now and it looks really nice :) The price made sense so no problems there either.
Heard about a special they were running which was $25/each for any piercing over a week time span. Went late around 9pm, the line was long but the employee doing the piercings was really efficient and quick. He made the process extremely smooth and comfortable. I would definitely recommend going back for more. I was also able to take a look at some of the art work of the tattoo artists and may go back to get some ink.
Everyone was very kind from the minute I walked in the door. Ricky, the piercer was very nice, very informative, great guy. Great addition to the business for sure. I wanted 2 piercings but only went with one. Im a wimp apparently. I now have to go back to get the 2nd one done. Going to try and be brave. Ricky was excellent. Sorry Ricky, I was such a wimp. Peggy
The guys there were very nice! The piercer was very friendly and personable (but not in a creepy way). He did a great job at making me feel relaxed. When I left they gave me a fun calendar and pen. I havent gotten any of my tattoos done there but I am definitely considering it!
Came here to get my daith pierced, and I’m so glad I did! The shop is very clean, and everyone there is very professional. The piercer (I’m so sorry I forgot your name) was super sweet and fun to talk to. He gave me the option of choosing to have a curved barbell or horseshoe ring (as you can see in the photo, I chose the ring). And it only cost me $35 (before tip)!!!!!! I’m still mind blown, that is SUCH a good price compared to other places. If I ever need another piercing I am DEFINITELY coming back here.
It was a very cool place, I didnt even have an appointment and they still took me however Im guessing that depends on the day. I do love my new piercing, would definitely recommend.
Omg just wanted to say how amazed I was in getting my 1st tattoo. Luis did an excellent job , he took his time an explain to me the process before he began so I can be aware, I showed him what I wanted and he helped create my idea into a master piece. The pain of a tattoo for what I got wasnt painful in a scale from 1-10 and ten being the worst I say for me one and if you ever had kids believe me you got this. The atmosphere of the place is really welcoming and very professional and clean honestly I was amazed. I highly recommend this place definitely going back and highly recommend Luis.
Most professional, knowledgeable tattoo shop I have ever been to. Very friendly staff, every artist has their own tattoo style which to me is a plus. I definitely recommend this place, Ricky is my guy he is very talented! He specializes in realistic black and grey work, he is also an award winning artist!!!
I got my nose pierced by Ricky, who was very nice and it was quick and painless. My two friends got tattoos done by Stefano & Darny who were very nice. We talked and laughed and they made us feel very comfortable with the whole process. Amazing work, and amazing artists. Definitely recommend going there for any tattoo/piercings!!!
Took our daughter to get her nose pieced and must say they are very professional very clean very respectful group of people will setting up an appointment for myself for more tattoos with them.
By far the best piercing place !! I got both my doubles and triples pierced and the guy who did them was super nice and gentle. I had a small issue with one of them but he made sure to fix it and that I was 100% happy with the piercings. Can’t recommend this place enough!!!
I got my nose pierced here, and had a great experience! The whole process took about twenty minutes from the time I walked in to the time I walked out. I was well informed about post-piercing procedures and very pleased with the kindness of my piercer.
I got my septum pierced here about a month ago and I love it! The piercer was very nice and very helpful when it came to answering questions. He did a great job and it healed painlessly and perfectly.
This is my go to place for my piercings.Great vibes with great people and AMAZING WORK
I got two tattoos here both done by Luis. Very professional and kind! Also got a Medusa piercing that went very smooth. Tattoos are healing well. Glad I came here! Will definitely be back.
Its great!!! Nice piercer!!! And cheap too!! Got my nose rings for $35!!(because of the buy one get one free which is awesome!!) Only down side is you have to pay cash but hey they have an ATM there so thats good!!!
Clean place, great art. A friend of mine got his inner forearm tattooed here and it looks stunning. Personally I just got my ear pierced here, was in and out in maybe 7 minutes. Very professional and impressive.
Darnell, is a great guy and awesome at his work and art. My buddy and I came in from dinner last night because being veterans we love tattoos on a whim, not only did darnell do perfect work he made each tattoo look amazing! He has a customer for life right here!
I got my nose pierced here December 18th. Was really nervous but he kept me calm and it was really fast. Definitely coming back and would recommend. Didnt hurt at all.
Ive gotten several tattoos from almost every artist that creates art here and I have ZERO complaints about any of them!Brainstorming ideas and seeing it come to life on paper is nothing short of easy for these guys to do! The tattoo process itself is always as comfortable as they can make it. Very well kept studio and professional artists here at Chi- Town Effects!
These people know their stuff, Ive gotten 3 piercings here so far and each time was seemless. They are thorough with explaining and answering any questions I had and I would absolutely recommend this to any one of my friends/family. Thanks guys!
Nice piercer, felt very comfortable getting my nipple pierced here. He was very helpful with our questions about previous piercings and advice on aftercare.
Got a Tattoo from Jesse he did a nice job, and was very easy going and funny to talk to. The environment and Atmosphere has good vibes would definitely recommend this place! Thanks Chi-Town Effects!
Ive been bringing my daughters here for many years for nose and bellybutton piercings. This place is sanitary. We have always been well informed on the after care procedures and had products available to purchase to care for piercings.
Went to get an industrial piercing. Not only did the piercer not make me feel comfortable, I asked him to wait until I took a deep breath and could pierce on the exhale. Which he did not do. Then also pierced the hole on the top way too far back. It was very close to my scalp and whenever I put glasses on, it would rest right on the piercing, which irritated it over and over. He also pierced the industrial way too high on the ear, where a lot of the barbell extended from each side. Ive had issues with them and piercings before, this is the last time Ill ever go there for piercings.
I love Chi-Town Effects. This place is my go to Tattoo place! All the Employees are amazing and friendly! Darney is my main guy, but the other ones are just as amazing.
I love this shop! great atmosphere great people been coming here since 2011 Im very pleased with all my work and the guys are all really cool Ricks an amazing artist and person. Chitown effects tattoo!
Got a tattoo and 2 days after it was burning like crazy and started to scab real bad. 3 weeks later the yellow and white( that were supposed tp be at least) have big spota of skin off. Wont go back wont ever recommend. Also of you can tell the lining of the tattoo has staggered lines. You can see breaks rather than being smooth. I have other family that have gone and have great tattoos. Juet be careful who you get. Jesse was the name of my guy.
Best tattoo shop in town!! Ive done tattoos and piercings had no problem with any of them. I always recommend this shop to everyone. Thanks Rick for your awesome job 😁
Darney was professional. The shop was clean. His prices are reasonable . I will be back!
Friendly and professional staff. Went to get my neices nose pierced and my sons ear and they did good to put them at ease. Recommend.
Ive gotten 2 piercings and a tattoo from here, prices are great and the staff is very friendly and chill. Definitely would recommend

Rick the owner and every member of his staff are highly qualified they are a blast to be around easy to talk to joke around with this is my fourth tatoo and I would not go anywhere else I got a rose tattoo my mother passed away and it is for her and Rick did a beautiful job I would recommend them to anybody

Rick was awesome. He did a great job and the piece healed perfectly without scabbing or scarring. I will 100% be returning.
I was amazed at how wonderful and kind everyone was. Especially Ricardo, he was amazing, and I will absolutely go back to him if I want another piercing!
Awesome place. Staff is cool & friendly. Id recommend getting your tattoos there.

The only place I will go. Matt is amazing. I love all my work and the beautiful colors he has put on me. I get stopped and complimented all the time. Love this place. Go here. Dooo eeeet!
Professional, friendly, clean, and more importantly ABSOLUTE ARTISTS!!! Thank you Rick & Luis for my beautiful three tattoos!
Came here to get my monroe and they didnt even ask if it was okay if the trainee pierced me. He pierced it crooked and even asked the owner if it looked okay after.....
I got a tattoo , a pericing (nose ring), and a replacement earring. Every time I go here everyone is professional and friendly.
Darnell is a skilled artist. Everyone at CTE are professional and corteous. Im on my 2nd tat and Im definately coming back for more.
Very great place, staff was friendly, got in and out just getting pierced, and was a reasonable price and professional
Awesome!!! Best tattoo place in Aurora!!! Very clean and professional. Tattoos comes out great
Fantastic...Dons didnt even even answer their phone...these dudes were pleasant and had me on ma way in a jiffy...outstanding!
From the terrible customer service at the consultation to the non-professionalism of the artists when trying to communicate with them. I had an all around bad experience with this shop.
Great artist work here. Definitely check it out. Had several tattoos done here.
Piercer is never in the shop. Hes good when he is.
I love love this place will definitely recommend. The people there are really nice and friendly and do an amazing job
An excellent place to paint your skin from the feet to the head.
Great experience with my piercings! Very professional, will go back for more!

Awesome young men, talented artists -- they make their clients feel comfortable before even starting.
Great place. Staff is very friendly and gentle. Great prices. No wait times
Luis was amazing! Also the guy that did an ear piercing was awesome too!! Thanks guys!!
Super cool. Let us walk in and get our tattoos right on the spot
There a lot of people that go there so be prepared to for the line but its worth the wait
They got tattoo removal services. They use VanishNow which is non laser. Wish they accepted credit cards.
