Society Tattoo

Check my photos for proof of their incredible artistry. I cannot say enough about how amazing my experiences are here with Polly. My tattoos always turn out x10 better than imagined. Their shop is incredibly clean and the ambiance is great. I’m so glad to have found someone with such incredible energy! They are my main artist and I go back frequently. Thanks so much, Polly!!

Polly was so skilled and so great to work with! She did two custom color tattoos for me based on my own artwork, and they turned out exactly as I had hoped. Polly was friendly, communicative, and was also happy to mask when they realized I was anxious about covid. Im very happy with working with her and would definitely recommend them!

This picture is only a small part of a much larger wildflower half-sleeve piece that Polly has been working on for me for around a year. Shes been my exclusive artist for a couple of years now, and its been the greatest tattoo experience Ive ever had. Polly has her own studio, which makes the process so much more relaxing. Shes got all the amenities you need: music, television, coffee, tea, hot chocolate. I really appreciate how much work she puts into making her space and the experience comfortable for all people. Shes located near an incredible taco joint, too, if youre sitting for a while and need a break! I love that Polly really considers how the art will look when my body moves and how much effort she puts into the art in general. I would (and do!) recommend Polly to everyone.

Polly was professional, patient and kind throughout the whole process. Very happy with my tattoo. Polly is amazing. I will be back for more work from Polly at society tattoo.

I have been working with Polly to finish this tattoo for a long time. I even followed her from her brief stint in Colorado! I chose her because of her confidence with her tools and fell in love with her artwork. Every experience with her, whether she was with a company, by herself or in her own studio, has been very professional, clean, and as painless a tattoo can get! She is a truly talented artist with her own style, but one that is also very versatile. She has dabbled in realism and many other styles and all of them are so clean and beautiful.Thank you Polly for bearing with me through my crazy schedule and life and finishing up my tattoo after I disappeared for 5 years! You’re a wonderful person and artist.

Polly listens to ideas and requests, she is very helpful with ideas and without a doubt the most talented artist I have met in the tattoo world. She has studied and practiced the history and art of tattoo. Consummate Professional!

Polly is an absolutely incredible and open minded artist. She has amazingly been able to interpret all my non artistic ideas into exactly what I envisioned. Her shop is beautiful, clean, and is everything you would hope and expect from a professional tattoo artist. I have recommended her before and would recommend her again.

Wow! I cant say enough good things about my recent visit with Polly. She is an amazing artist and person. Her studio is beautifully decorated with plants and art that really comes together and gives a calming feeling. I was super nervous because I had a rushed and not a pleasant pleasant time with my first tattoo at a different place. Polly made me feel so relaxed, by the time we started the tattoo I felt like I didnt have a worry in the world. Love my new tattoo, beautiful. She captured everything I thinking prior to my tattoo. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.

Polly is an incredible artist. Looking for a tattoo artist can feel intimidating, but Polly was a dream come true. The shop is easy to get to with tons of free parking (which is great when you sit for 6 hours at one time!), Polly is always playing great music or Netflix while you sit, and her professionalism makes you feel at ease. I get compliments on my tattoos every week. Her work is beautiful.

Polly did an incredible job working with me to design and give me a cover-up tattoo that I absolutely love. I have worked with multiple other tattoo artists over the years and Polly really stands out in terms of quality work, a comfortable and clean shop, and a great individualized experience. 5 stars!

Polly was great to work with and made me feel comfortable throughout my entire visit. She took her time to make sure I loved my tattoo, which I absolutely do! 10/10 would recommend and I will be coming back for more 🙂

Polly is one of the most talented artists I’ve ever met. She fixed my first ever tattoo and made it better then ever. I’ve gone back since and she’s done a full sleeve as well as a half. She’s incredibly creative as well as patient when it comes to dealing with clients. I won’t go to any other artist. I highly recommend her!

Excellent shop and excellent artist. Polly is awesome. I met her when she was still working at the old shop she used to work at before she worked her way to her own. She did my favorite tattoo I have 5 years ago and it still looks new. I had a bad scarred up tattoo that she fixed and covered and was able to even put it into the sleeve she did on my arm. Makes me not want to go to any other artist

Polly is amazing! She drew up a beautiful tattoo for me after i sent her some ideas of what I wanted. The whole tattoo took about six hours but seemed to go by really fast due to her charming personality. I will definatly be go back to her for anything i get done in the future she is very talented and professional. You wont regret it.

I was fortunate enough to meet Polly when she was working in Denver and now I am a loyal customer. I have been in the shop several times and each experience is better than the last. The shop is very welcoming and immediately puts me in a happy place. I love all the plants! Polly listens to what you want and then makes it a reality. We are on my 3rd piece and I cant tell you how many times I have received compliments and asked who does my work. If you are looking for a custom piece, talk to Polly.

Getting work done by Polly is such a wonderful experience, they are extremely knowledgeable, talented, gentle and just really good company. I highly recommend them as an artist, their shop is very comfortable and safe. Cannot wait to get more work done.

Polly (owner) is a highly skilled artist and a deliberate communicator. Polly is thoughtful, collaborative, and most importantly, honest, about what will or won’t be done. Years pass as I continue to love each piece just as much... or maybe even more... than I did the day I got them. Highly recommend Society Tattoo!

Polly is fantastic! We meet and discussed ideas for my tattoo and she listened to everything I said and made sure to include all the details that were important to me. I absolutely love my tattoo and would recommend everyone to check out Polly’s work!

Pollys presence would make any space cozy and secure, but the space that shes created is a living experience that is clean and comfortable with vibrant contrasts that made my spirit feel relaxed. And very excited to see her bring my tattoo into its own living experience.I cant thank her enough for such a beautiful memory and I hope shes my tattoo artist forever!

Such a relaxed and cozy vibe in the shop with lots of plants, so welcoming! Polly is awesome to work with. She is very professional and does amazing work. Its easy to make conversation with her while getting your work done, which is a big plus. A talented artist all around!

Love this place, I love the privacy and definitely the cleanliness. The owner is very professional and helps me with what Im going for.

Polly is not only an awesome artist, but a reliable and knowledgeable professional. I am working on a larger piece with them, having already had several smaller ones done, and I know I can always ask anything about the work because they have high quality equipment and theyre a wealth of knowledge on the tattoo world.

Polly is an incredible artist and not only did an amazing job on my custom piece but made the experience comfortable, collaborative, and downright fun! 10/10 would recommend Polly.

If getting inked isn’t just about rocking a new piece of body art, but creating an intentional mark that affirms what matters to you; let Polly do your inkwork. One look at my foot and I knew Polly was an artist and I was in for something special. Instantly and in no uncertain terms they decided my idea was impractical and wasn’t really what I wanted. Polly was right. 100%. When I let go of what I wanted, they took creative control and gave me a piece that really matters to me. It was far better than the original tattoo. Polly’s private studio is like entering your own little garden of creativity and relaxation. There is the implicit agreement to get inked in a safe, mindful, and collaborative environment. I can’t say enough about it. If I ever get another tattoo Society Tattoo will be my spot.

Polly did a cover up piece for me and the experience was great! Polly was super collaborative. The studio space is really comfortable and Polly tailored the experience to meet my needs--music, body position, and length of sessions.

Polly is a true talent. Her work is in a class all it’s own. She puts every ounce of herself into her art and there is nothing else quite like it. I sent her some illustrations and told her the story behind the piece, and she created a custom design that truly went where my mind and references couldn’t quite articulate. I have mostly American traditional pieces, and I knew this particular idea was a great fit for her style. I just let her do what she wanted and I am over the moon with how great it turned out. She is a true professional who loves to make amazing art. Plus, she’s just a badass person that you want to be around because she is simply that cool. I recommend her to anyone wanting to work with a tremendous talent and get what they want times one hundred. I look forward to working with her again in the future. She is just too good to be true. Her tattoos are iconic and built stand the test of time. Reach out to her and get her to tattoo you. You will not regret it.

Great place Polly is very professional and very talented artists. Clean , relaxing and private and great music. Took her time for my piece to fit my arm and awesome colors. Looking for good work she is the one.

This is a great clean shop. Polly is a wonderful highly skilled artist that provides beautiful custom work. Vibrant colors, shades and fine geometric lines. Its always the best feeling being here. I havent used another place since theyve opened their doors. Strongly recommend.

The atmosphere is super chill, yet professional. Its personal and private, and theres no rushing. Polly took her time, explained the process, what was possible within the size and idea I had, and what colors would work with my skin. The location is easy to get to, right off the bus, but also lots of free street parking. I LOVE that shes the only one in the shop. It creates a safe space that makes it easy to relax and handle business.

Polly is an exceptional therapist and a marvelous tattoo artist. Easy to talk to. If I wasnt married Id asked her to marry me just for the tattoos😉

Pollys an incredible artist and Ive been going to her for years. The detail in her work is amazing, shes always welcoming and the shop has a great, laid back vibe.

Strangers stop me on the street to compliment and inquire about the tattoos Ive gotten from this shop! People are usually shocked by how fresh a piece Polly did 6 years ago looks. The tattoos withstands the test of time. The shop and technique are so clean. In addition to the quality and technique, the atmosphere of the shop is supa chill and welcoming. Only place Ill go for ink.

I have known Polly the owner for a very long time now and she has almost done every tattoo on my body she has bold clean lines, uses top notch ink and will do a amazing job on just about any tattoo style and or design you would like.Society Tattoo is probably one of the cleanest shops I have been in also, you will walk in and feel right at home she will accommodate your music taste and even play a movie while you sit there for your session it’s always a great experience when I go in for a tattoo.This shop is clean, clean, clean! all about cleanliness new products you won’t have to worry about getting an infection or an appendage falling off A++ would recommend anyone who is looking for new ink you will definitely be going back to get more!

Great shop, very relaxed atmosphere and Polly is a talented artist. She did a great job on a cover up for me and a also a couple other pieces.

Professional, consistent, talented. This is my go-to shop when I’m looking for more ink. There’re so many bad tattoo artists filling the Chicagoland area it can be a daunting and exhausting process to select one; but this is the spot for work you’ll be proud of.

My girlfriend loves the work that Polly did. I would definitely go to her for my next tattoo.

Comfortable, private and reasonably priced. Excellently duplicated artwork I provided and touched up/redid an old tattoo and it came out better than it ever did before.

Came in with An ideal in my head and Polly was able to take it and bring it to reality great job definitely would recommend

Excellent artist, excellent work. I will definitely be going back for more work.

Extremely talented artist that did an extraordinary job!
