Downers Grove Tattoo Co. offered a great experience! I went in with a friend for ear piercings and the process was smooth, easy to understand, and quick (but not rushed).Eli was patient and provided us with a variety of ear piercing options. He walked us through the cost of everything and the piercing procedure. Everything was clean and sterile. He made sure we were happy with the results before leaving.If I’m looking for more piercings (or tattoos) in the future, I will return to this location. Highly recommend!
Have now had my 3rd tattoo done by Eli. I am so happy with the results. I waited a long time for the tattoo work he’s completed. He is honest & skillful & quick. He’s done my husbands tattoo as well and his recommendations for him were spot on as well. He is very knowledgeable and creative. Appreciate you Eli!
Got my first simple tattoos here! Eli’s super nice, reassured me about placement and style of my tattoos, and helped just take the plunge to get them. Recommend 10/10
I got my first tattoo at Downers Grove Tattoo Company. Eli was wonderful! He did an amazing job and took extra time to make sure I loved the design and felt comfortable! So happy with the result!!
Eli gave me and my boyfriend both beautiful tattoos for our first time. He was very friendly and professional, as well as honest with what he thought would compliment our body’s best. He eased all of our uncertainty’s and things we were nervous about. 10/10 thank you Eli!
Had a great experience getting a childs ear piercing at Downers Grove Tattoo. It is clear how much Eli values service because he was so helpful and attentive to every single person. For my daughter specifically, he asked her permission for everything, which made her feel ready and in control. She walked out with a smile and was proud of her new piercing. This one was corrective, and I especially appreciated that Eli did not shame us for our mistakes. Would 100% recommend and will be taking my other kids if they choose to get their ears pierced in the future.
Took my younger brother here for his first tattoo. Eli did an awesome job. He took the time to talk to us and make sure everything was the way my brother wanted it. My brother is a type one diabetic so Eli was super thorough with the healing instructions. I’ll definitely be back to get myself another tattoo.
Eli did an amazing job saving a tough helix ear piercing I received from another studio that got infected and had my jewelry stuck inside - he was able to safely get it out and provide new jewelry. He was kind, informative, and answered all my questions - and the vibe of the shop was so comfortable and chill. If you need to get piercings or anything checked up, Downers Grove Tattoo is the place!
Absolutely love this place! Eli Scott you did amazing work as always! This is my third tattoo from Eli and it is truly a work of art! True professional, an amazing collaborator, who listens and designed another piece very personal to me. Thank you again! Repeat customer here for sure!
I had an excellent expirience and would give more than 5 stars if I could! I went in to get my lobes pierced today and saw Eli, he was very nice and super informative about the whole process. My pain was maybe a 1/10 he spoke with me the whole time and did an amazing job. I am so happy with my new piercings, I will be back for more and I will recommend him to anyone looking to get tattoos or piercings!
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.
Eli just finished my first nose (nostril) piercing. Nearly painless, almost bloodless, and looks perfect already. Really kind guy, smart and knowledgeable about his art and what’s best for the client. We even talked about a future tattoo I’ve been thinking on and he had tips right away and offered to work with me in a design. Phenomenal experience, highly recommend
Eli was great! He is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of me and my friends questions. Honestly some piercing places only care for the money but he genuinely cared about what we were looking for. He did my top helix piercing exactly how I wanted it!
Eli is amazing! Since he gave me my first tat one year ago, hes already done 2 more for me! He is the best! Here are some pictures, I highly recommend him and his professionalism! 😄 will only go to him for all my next tattoos!
I got my first tattoo done be Eli. I showed him a picture of what I was thinking and he exceeded my expectations when he drew something 10 times better than the original idea. I wanted roses with butterflies. The tattoo process was phenomenal. Eli took his time and captured every detail. He was very friendly and was easy to talk to. I plan on getting more tattoos down the line and I know i will be going back to Eli.
Eli did a great job with the actual piercing and I had a good experience with him. I appreciate that they reached out to try and solve the previous issue, but ultimately had a different shop help me replace the lost jewelry.
Just got this tattoo from Eli and I LOVE IT!! He was so kind and helpful and excellence at his craft! Ahead of time, he sent me a website with a bunch of fonts to choose from, and gave me tips and things to think about. And the day of experience was so smooth and easy! Eli is such a calming, warm presence. Cant recommend him highly enough!
Wow! Very friendly people! I walked in hoping someone had time to help me. Eli helped me with some healing issues I was having from a piercing I got at another place. He was very kind and generous. I didn’t get his name, but the other man at the front was very nice too. I visit the US once a year and if I am looking to get another piercing or a new tattoo, I will be coming back.
Eli is awesome and very informative. Recommend to anyone. Really helped me out today with my nose piercing. Found out I was pierced a year ago with an eyebrow ring. I will only go to Downers Grove Tattoo Co and recommend others as well.
My wife and I got matching tattoos on our wedding day. It was our first time getting a tattoo and ELI did an incredible job helping design a tattoo that we absolutely love. He suggested the pros and cons of each design and gave us something truly unique that we love looking at each day. I personally appreciated his professionalism, attention to detail, and making the experience highly memorable. Would highly recommend and will come back again for our next tattoo!
Eli did an amazing job on my tattoo and two for my husband. He is so talented but also so compassionate, as we both wanted something to memorialize our 5 year old daughter who passed away. The shop was very clean, Eli was very professional, and he gave us great directions and supplies for after care. We are planning to get more tattoos and will absolutely be going back to him.
Spontaneously decided to get my belly repierced. Eli did an amazing job making me feel comfortable and explaining every step on the way. Was in and out quick! Came for a belly piercing but after looking at his art work, I’d definitely come back for a sick piece!
Eli was very professional and detailed about the steps he was taking in preparing my tattoo to make it to my liking. He didn’t rush my decision and actually made what I wanted even better than what I showed him. I will most definitely be referring people to him and will be back myself. Overall 5stars not even enough for his professionalism, he’s the best 💯💪🏼
Eli at Downers Grove Tattoos has exceeded all of my expectations. Eli really listened to understand my vision, and then delivers tattoo designs that go above and beyond what I envisioned. The multiple sample designs he provided proves he cares about his clients and really wants them to walk away satified.I cannot recommend Eli highly enough. He has not only created a beautiful tattoo for me, but has also left a lasting positive impression through his character, integrity, and commitment to serving his clients. I feel truly blessed to have him as my tattoo artist - and more importantly, as a fellow believer.
Couldn’t be happier! Eli is amazing, he was patient and explained everything thoroughly. He offered suggestions and the process was quick and painless! I will be getting more work done with him!
I took out my belly ring to have it repaired. When I went to put it back in, I couldn’t get it in. Eli assessed it and was able to put a taper in instead having to re-pierce it. Eli made me feel comfortable and was professional and friendly. The shop was clean and set up for privacy of the customer. I am planning to visit Eli again for a tattoo. Highly recommend
I came in for a jewelry change and Eli was the artist that helped me. He was very professional, charming and talked me through the process from start to finish. A very neat shop with lots of awards.
Eli is amazing. I walked in tonight needing a replacement ball for my septum piercing. Even though he doesn’t have septum rings in the shop (I should’ve called first) he was determined to help, and he was able to find a ball for me and even put it on for me, free of charge. Not just good at his job but also an amazing person. I’ll definitely be returning!
My friend and I got matching tattoos that were done by Eli. He is a very talented artist! Super friendly and he helped us figure out where the tattoos should be placed and how different sizes would look. I highly recommend getting your tattoos done here!
Eli is a very knowledgeable and honest guy. He helped us to make the right decision and whats good for us not for his business. He is cool and very talented. I cant recommend him enough. Defanatly we would be back to his store.
Eli was the one who did my eyebrow piercing and was amazing! He took the best care of me and my sister! We will definitely be coming back here!!! 🥰
Eli was great!! He did both of our tattoos they look amazing he was super friendly and great conversation!
Ive had 3 tattoos by Eli and would have more but I live in Nashville. Eli has taken my ideas and turned them into art. I completely trust him and wont go to anyone else!
Eli is a great dude! He has done many tattoos for me from brand new to redoing a few. He’s done great on all his work. He’s honest and fair in pricing. He’s worth the money for sure and when you have to consult with him and leave a deposit in order to make an appointment is something that makes you feel comfortable when talking about a tattoo design or what have you. This way both artist and customer are on same page. Keep bangin awesome tattoos out. I’ll always go back to Eli when I want something done!
Amazing place! Went here twice cuz my first one rejected, dude was totally understanding and hooked me up with a complimentary re piercing, would def recommend to anyone out there who wants quality piercings.
Eli did a great job and is the sweetest! Will definitely come back for any tattoos or piercings! :)
Ive been to Eli Scott now 4 different times. Hes so patient with people and talented. My latest tattoo was full of detail that he drew himself! Im already looking into my 5th tattoo. If I could figure out how to post a pic, I would.
Eli was amazing and did a great job for my first tattoo! Absolutely love my new tattoo and will definitely be back for more.
Really good cover-up, had a wide variety of cool designs to choose from. Went above and beyond. Great guy to talk to! Would recommend coming here to get any tattoos or piercings.
Eli made the process painless!!I highly recommend him and he walks you through the healing process’10 Stars hands down!!!Thanks Eli
I came in the other day for my first tattoo and got the privilege to work with Eli. I am super pleased with his work! He was very polite and patient considering it was my first tattoo.
Thank you to Eli for helping me out getting some jewelry back in after having to remove them for an MRI. They were a PITA but he was patient and got them in! Thanks so much!
Eli was able to take my idea and create something perfect. He gave good advice on size and placement. Very professional. If I get another, this is where Im going.
This place is awesome! Eli did a great job working with us and we really appreciated his service. A great job!
Eli is the bomb.!! Drew up some badass custom work.he took his time we played some tunes and he buzzed the ink into my skin. 🤘🤘Looks incredible!Will be back🫡🤘🤘
This place is absolutely amazing! I wanted to get my two lobes pierced for the first time, and they came in absolute clutch! After calling 7-8 tattoo/piercing parlors, only for no one to answer, and showing up to two other tattoo parlors that were closed (even though they said they were open), they said they would be able to fit me and my other two friends in for piercings. Eli was our piercer, he was truly amazing! He was able to get us some great discounts, and was so helpful for my first piercings. The process was clean, and did not hurt as bad as I thought. Eli walked me though the process and made me for totally comfortable and made me feel like I was being taken care of and in great hands. It was akward at all and it felt very natural and comfortable to talk to him. I would HIGHLY recommend this place, and Eli is great, I would definitely recommend him! 10/10, would come here again!
I got a flat piercing done by Eli, and he was absolutely amazing! Super kind, patient, and answered all of my questions! Would absolutely come back here!
Very great shop, the artist Eli was amazing he did a great job on my tattoo will definitely be coming back to him for more!
I came in with an idea and Alex listened and took notes and came back with in the hour with a rendering that hit every point I gave him. It was a dedication to my daughter and hit on point! The final product hit even higher with the quality and workmanship. I have had a lot of serious tats of high quality but his way of tatting was so great that it will probably heal in a few days just amazing!!! Thank you Alex you will be doing more of my tatts buddy!!!Healed 4 days later!!! Excellent work Alex!!
My wife and I got little ghost tattoos done about 2 weeks ago. They both turned out beautiful! Great linework, great pricing, and the shop is very nice and clean! Great work, and Ill be back!
Eli is a good dude, worked with me and made sure I had something I was happy with. Definitely my favorite tatoo so far, would see him specifically again in the near future.
Been coming here for 20 years. A great place to get your very first or your 20th tattoo. Super clean and friendly with private rooms. Highly recommend them.
Eli is amazing!! Very much a people person and explained everything so well to me. Very patient! He will be doing my sleeve soon!
I received two lobe piercings from Eli. It was basically my first time and he made me feel very comfortable through the process. He explained the procedure clearly and was very informative about the after care process. Definitely coming back here for any future piercings!
Saw Eli for a jewelry change for a healing daith piercing that was done poorly at a different place. He did a great phenomenal job and helped explain everything to me really well.
Over the past few years I have had Eli Scott do various tattoos on me. Some were to cover existing ones ( over 50 years old) , to re-do (touch up) an existing one & recently a new one. Eli is a gifted artist and his suggestions on type, style & colors was just great. His mannerism is very comforting and makes the customer feel at ease. I highly recommend Eli & the Downer Grove Tattoo. I’ve already set it up for Eli to do my 4th tat. You won’t be disappointed.
Eli did a great job on my ear piercing and explained everything to me throughly. He was very informative and was truly doing it because he is passionate about what he does and trying to give everyone the best bang for their buck. I am so appreciative and would highly recommend coming to Eli for your services!!
Eli did amazing! Definitely will be coming back for more from him! Love the experience!
Walked in for a consultation on a Friday and was able to make an appointment for the next day. Eli was able to incorporate the exact things I wanted and did a great job on my new tattoo. Prices were comparable to other shops in the area not over the top. And totally worth it for a well done, next day tattoo. Will be going back to get the rest of my sleeve done by Eli soon.
The worker had good vibes and made me feel really comfortable. My first time getting a tattoo is a happy memory because of him. Good place, I definitely recommend.
Eli was absolutely amazing! He took his time explaining everything and made my first tattoo experience so incredibly easy and comfortable. Highly recommend him - you cannot ask for a better artist!
My friends and I got our piercings here with Eli and he was extremely helpful, professional, and explained everything very well. This is not our first time getting piercings, but I can easily say this was our best experience!
Eli, the guy we were talking to, was really nice and answered all the questions we had. Took amazing care of us and we both walked out happy. Great experience!
Had my helix pierced and was very happy with the experience! The staff was very professional and made me feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
Eli Scott did my tattoo that is a tribute to my mother. He was receptive to the idea, to my needs, and was very clear about what would happen next. Everything from the consult to the appointment to the tattoo to the after care instructions was so well thought out and easy.When I got in the chair, I didn’t know if it would be ok to listen to music or a podcast, but Eli assured me I could do whatever was most comfortable to me. He made it so enjoyable and really wanted it to be a good experience for me. I ended up just chatting with him the entire session, which went quicker than I expected.Eli works with extremely efficient attention to detail and clearly cares about his work. I can’t recommend him enough.
Got my first tattoo from Eli. This guy went above and beyond!! Super pleased. Highly recommend.
Eli was super helpful booking in my and my boyfriend’s tattoo’s quickly and professionally. His artwork was fantastic and he offered touch ups if necessary in the future. Great experience overall and can’t wait to come back!
Very clean on the inside, peircer was very thorough with everything from the peircing to the cleaning. Would definitely reccomend coming here for a first or new piercing!
Eli repierced my Tragus today. Did a phenomenal job and always makes the experience great!!
Amazing, professional, artistic, and kind tattoo artist Alex!!! From the time he greeted me, assessed my images, used clean technique on my skin, and began the session of tattooing, Alex was top notch!!! He continued to ask if I was feeling great, made sure I was comfortable, and spoke to me throughout my session easing any anxieties I may have had. I highly recommend Alex! If you want an amazing first time or return tattooing experience, he is your guy! I will be returning to Alex for more! Thank you sir!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I got my ears pierced here just today. They were so nice and accommodating, and were able to get us in the same day despite being last minute. Was very knowledgeable on what he was doing, was able to tell me more about my ears and what piercings I could fit on my ears. Will definitely be back here for any future piercings.
Eli was excellent — he re-pierced my nose and I couldn’t be happier.I would recommend, Eli, to anyone!
Eli was amazing.. Thank you so much! Great service very professional. Very recommended. I will be back.
Eli is amazing! Great communicator and making sure i loved everything!!! I highly recommend 🫶🏼
Awesome place. I’ve gotten tattoos from Eli twice and it’s been a positive experience both times. I’ve even recommended friends and family to him. They all have loved his work.
Eli did my 7 year old daughters ear piercings today, he was super professional, helpful, informative , great with my daughter . Really took the time to make sure the dots were aligned. Was very happy to find this place as it’s hard to find tattoo/piercings places that will accept young children for ear piercings and I really did not want to have to take her to the mall . Reasonably priced as well. Thank you!
This is my second tattoo and Alex did a beautiful job with the detailing. He was kind and helpful too 😁.
A bit brusque on the customer service aspect, once my son and I were in for the actual tattoos, Jessica did a great job. Not sure what the secret is, but neither my son nor I had any issues with our tattoos: no itching, no peeling, no problems. Highly recommended.
Eli was so nice!!! Was very apologetic about the fact that he wouldn’t have time for us (which is completely understandable as we came closer to closing time as walk-ins) and even offered a discount for the future as an apology. THATS customer service right there!
Amazing place! I’ve had Eli tattoo me three times and have loved all of his work. I will for sure continue going here for his work because he is a great artist and is extremely accommodating!
Eli was incredibly professional and made the process quick and easy. I’d absolutely recommend.
I want to give them 10 stars but Google has limited me to 5. Of all the tattoo places I have gone, Downers Grove Tattoo is hands down #1. Eli is so great with his collaboration and great ideas. A true professional and super friendly!
Eli is super welcoming and is very respectful - Got a naval piercing and it was so quick and easy! Highly recommend this place!
Had a great experience here. Eli was the man, I gave him an idea for a design and basic instructions, let him run with it. What he came up with was better than I could’ve thought up. Will go here anytime I’m in the area.
Eli replaced my nose ring for me today. He was super kind and friendly! Will be back in the future.
Store manager cant answer a simple question without responding like an absolute mental patient. Ill bet his tattoos are as bad as his people skills. Wanted what would be a $3,000 tattoo, not to mention the generous tip I wouldve left. I would never give my money to someone who responds the way they did. He lied to me, tried charging me $100 bucks before I walk through the door, he tells me its standard everywhere you go. I have several tattoos, never paid that fee before. If you ask me, he belongs in a psych ward.
Eli is the best always such a great experience every time i come!! Will be coming back!
This place was recommended by a couple people. Stopped in an told Eli I wanted a Monarch butterfly. He offered a couple options and did an amazing job! Its stunning and I plan to go back to have an old tat redone. Highly recommend Eli at DG Tattoo.
Great tattoo shop. Eli is great and professional. I will definitely be back and will recommend downers Grove tattoo to everyone.
I’ve gotten 10+ tattoos from Eli this year and I absolutely can’t wait to get more. This shop always listens is super efficient with their time, and they keep me coming back with the quality. Schedule something soon!
Eli is very nice person and he did great work!!!
Downers Grove Tattoo is a great place to get work done. I have had tattoos done at 3 different places and Eli Scott and DGT are by far the.best. Eli was fantastic and his experience and expertise were greatly appreciated. He works with you to make sure everything looks right and you are completely comfortable with .designs and placement. I highly recommend DGT and Eli.
I am so happy I found Eli Scott. His high level of professionalism was only surpassed by his incredible artistry. I absolutely love my tattoo and will be returning to DGTC. Thank you, Eli! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Eli did an amazing job on my tattoo! Hes experienced, knowledgeable, & caring. Ill definitely go back to him for my next tat/piercing 💯
Eli, helped me with my tattoo. He had suggestions for a better tattoo, his artistry on drawing up what I was wanting in a tattoo.The shop was very clean and I liked the privacy. I would highly recommend Eli and Downers Grove Tattoo to anyone looking for Phenomenal work and a professional environment.
Got a nose piercing by eli, 10/10 went fast and i barely felt a thing! I’d recommend for anybody!
Eli was great! Was very quick for scheduling, walked through the process since it was my first one very well, and the ink came out great! Will not hesitate to see him again for the next.
Another great experience at Downers Grove Tattoo! Im always treated with courtesy, kindness and respect. Thanks to artist Eli Scott for creating a one of a kind piece for me and exceeding all expectations!
Eli was super nice and was reassuring me the whole time. I got a room piercing and he made it feel super easy and was kind.
Just got my tattoo done by Eli!He is an artist and very friendly!!
Went in for a consultation with a vague idea for my first tattoo and 2 days later Eli got it done. His artwork is perfect and it was an overall excellent experience. His healing recommendations worked amazingly and I hope to be back for another soon!
I got my tattoo done by Eli and he made me feel so comfortable especially because it was my first tattoo.It came out so amazing and he made sure it was perfect which I was so thankful for!!
The only place I will ever go for a tattoo/ piercing , Eli Is absolutely phenomenal!
I called to schedule an appointment for my friends , super professional and got us in on such short notice. Eli was SO incredibly professional and nice, walked us through every step, and gave detailed instructions on cleaning/aftercare. he made us all feel so comfortable, just overall amazing service. will be coming back!:)
I have been here three times, twice for ink and once for piercing, and I highly recommend this shop. Eli is talented and experienced. You will not be disappointed.
Great service. Eli was super helpful and easy to work with!!!
This place is a complete dump. If you care about professionalism and cleanliness then avoid this place at all cost. I cant speak for the other employees who work here but Jessica Bone is a complete idiot. I brought my 15 year old daughter here for a second piercing and the results were disasterous. The holes Jessica made were completely uneven. When I suggested that she use a ruler to confirm that the holes would be placed perfectly she looked at me with the dumbest look on her face like she never heard of a ruler. Which is probably the case given the results of her work. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place. Its run down and totally not worth the money you are going to spend here. Seek a better more professional establishment.
Thank you Eli Scott for making our tattoo experience so pleasant!!!!My 75 year old tattoo-less mother and I went to get matching tattoos as a tribute to my daughter. We wanted small, clean and precise tattoos which required a real attention to detail and we got them!!!!Eli Scott at Downers Grove Tattoo was our tattoo artist and we have nothing but praise for Eli, the shop and the entire experience. Eli was professional, kind, creative, and knowledgeable during our consults and actual sessions. Eli is incredibly talented and made suggestions that took our original ideas to the next level. Eli is a true artist and master of his trade!!!! If you are looking for a beautiful tattoo from a talented artist in a clean and organized environment for a fair price......go see Eli!!!
Really nice guy and answered all are questions. Definitely will come back.
Had Eli Scott do an addition to a tattoo I had from before and both tattoos are great looking and exactly what I was looking for. Had a relaxing time and definitely got my moneys worth and more.
Love this place. Eli did my tattoo and he was extremely patient with me and went over everything I wanted done. He does amazing work.
Went to Downers Grove tattoo for my first tattoo and recently for my second. This place is top notch for tattoo quality and customer service! I had Eli for both of my tattoos, and he is the best! Very helpful/informative with the whole process and for any questions you may have. It’s fun and interesting to talk to Eli during the tattooing. His designs are so detailed and look incredible. The place is very sanitary also, which was great to see. Don’t go anywhere else if you’re looking for a tattoo.
Great experience, trust Eli with all my piercings and tattoos for the future ! ! 🙂🙂
Great guy! I made the call at 3, and he fit me in by 6pm. He was insanely personable and clean. I got my nose re-pierced due to it falling out a year ago. Once I told him that, he even got me an emergency piercing if it happens again! I really liked the customer serive and quality of the piercing. I have already recommended this place to a friend. I went to Eli Scott.
Eli gave me the best service and overall made my experience here amazing. Im definitely would come back for another pericing.
The piercer Eli was nice and insightful of details with after care. I would recommend.
Excellent workVery patient and attentiveGreat experience!
Came here and saw Eli Scott .. my tattoo is perfect! He was so kind and respectful. I highly recommend Downers Grover Tattoo Co. thank you Eli 🤩!!
Amazing shop, and amazing artists! Eli has done all my tattoos and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! He is always efficient and his work is phenomenal. He always shows how much he cares about the work you’re getting done, and always delivers.
I saw Eli a few days ago for a few different piercings. Right off the bat he was nothing but genuinely nice, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. He made my experience comfortable and as painless as possible. I also loved the measures they took to make the shop covid friendly.Ive been to numerous piercing/tattoo shops, but this one was by far my most positive experience yet! Will be back in the near future!
Eli has always done an amazing job with my ink. His designs are immaculate and his work is so precise. He makes me feel very comfortable during our sessions, and we always have great conversation! Highly recommend if you’re looking for some new art.
Eli is awesome. I went in with an idea for a tattoo and he seemed to know exactly what I wanted. He even made some suggestions that were absolutely perfect. Friendly, courteous, professional and most importantly clean. I trusted him with a tattoo that holds a lot of meaning to me and he did not let me down, in fact he surpassed what I had pictured in my mind. He is a great artist and has a great eye. Some have commented that the prices are high. This is my first tattoo in over a decade, so I dont know much about what the market dictates. But even if his price is a little higher than most, Ill gladly pay it to ensure a job well done since it will be on my body for the rest of my life. Thanks again, Eli!
Ive gotten a few tattoos from there and Eli Scott does a great job. He is super friendly and makes you feel welcome but also has very good skills and does a great job to the very detail of his tattoos. He makes the experience even better by how friendly he is and has you leaving with Great ink. I cant imagine having someone else do my tattoos now besides him. Even the most difficult tattoos and locations he has done phenomenal on. I definitely recommend this tattoo shop and ask for Eli Scott he is the best!!!!!
Came in to see Eli for the first time and am very satisfied with my experience!! He touched up as well as covered up parts of an old tattoo of mine and I am super pleased with the result. Will be coming back to him soon for more tattoos! 😊
My friend got a tattoo here from the artist Eli Scott, amazing execution and made the process so simple. He provided advice and after care products, if you want a artist that will put the effort in to make it as best as possible choose Eli. Tattoo looks great and clean we’re all pleased.
Staff was unfriendly on the phone. Went in person and they were even unfriendlier. Wouldnt even let me inside as I was with my under-18 daughter, even though I was there to just make an appointment. I understand not wanting kids in there but through the window I could see other clearly under-18 kids inside with their mom - so what was different about me?! I said to the guy that I guess I have to go to another place to get a tattoo and he said whatever and closed the door on me.
Eli is beyond awesome, so fun and relaxing to talk to while getting art work done!
I had my first tattoo done here & I am beyond thrilled with the result. The establishment was so clean & organized, & to make it even better, Eli was so so kind & made me feel comfortable & confident with my first ever tattoo. Thankful for this experience!!
Eli did some piercings for me. I called before hand with various questions and he was so patient with me and very informative. When I got there he told me what to expect during the process and educated me on all the after care steps. I would recommend him to anyone. He will make you feel comfortable with the whole experience.
Great place, Eli Scott made time for me to come in and hooked me up with an amazing tattoo at a great price. Best artist I’ve had.
Went here for my first tattoo and was pretty nervous about it. Eli was awesome and super helpful through the whole process. I was probably pretty annoying with all my questions but he was very patient with me. Highly recommend him as an artist and this place!
Eli was amazing! great artist, so comfortable, easy to talk and just a blast while doing my tattoo. He was very professional just all around great experience honestly.
Eli just did an amazing cover up for me. He took the time to do 2 ideas for me and the designs were awesome. Such great detail as well as shading and colors. The tattoo looks fantastic and he takes the time to make sure every detail is perfect!!!!!! This is the 2nd done by him for me and I will continue to go back to him for all my other future tattoos!!!!
What an amazing artist Eli was and is. From beginning to end, not one minor grievance. On short notice, came up with a custom piece for my back. Amazingly fast work and great conversation while giving me the tattoo. Cannot wait to go back for more and more. Highly recommend. Not enough stars or kind words can do it justice.
Eli is the best! Very professional, knowledgeable and informative not to mention hes super nice, friendly and incredibly easy to spill your tea too! My tattoo and piercings flew by! Been many years since I went to DG tattoo and Im super glad I went back!!Edit: I was back within a week for a 2nd tattoo by eli and a 3rd is in the works!Edit! I got a 3rd one done by him this past week!! Hes extremely talented!
Awesome place. Really good work. Alex is awesome and glad to have came in and worked with these guys. Highly recommend
I went here last month to get my nose pierced. Eli Scott did my piercing. First of all, I need to say that beyond the professionalism, obvious expertise, courteousness, and patience he displayed (this was my first piercing in over 30 years), he did an amazing job! He explained everything to me thoroughly beforehand, helped me understand the process, and overall made it a great experience. He was clear about after care, gave me paperwork that reiterated everything, and made himself available to answer questions anytime after (I needed that, since I managed to accidentally pull out my piercing only days later - long story, lol). Hes a gem, and an amazing artist! I wouldnt go to anyone else for piercings or tattoos!
Eli was great, very friendly and knowledgeable
The only reason I am even thinking about giving this place a one star is because my tattoo artist yesterday was amazing and did a great job on the artwork they did for me. Other then that I just called yelled at and accused for making a page trying to hack their face book when really all I did was make my own post on my own page and tag them in it of the art work they did for me yesterday. The guy that just called me yelled at me to take down my post and said it was not okay to tag them in it even tho I was promoting their business and for the art work they did. Very rude and disrespectful for calling me and coming at me for something I didnt do. I unfortunately will never be going back then again because of this extremely rude call I got from them.
Went in for a tattoo on my right bicep. I have one on my left bicep already. Eli did my tat. It turned out better than I even expected! Hes very talented. Eli gave me Tatu-Derm to put on the tat after he was done and it healed up so fast. My other tattoo took 2 weeks to fully heal and this one healed totally in 4 days! Overall awesome experience. Ill definitely be going back there for my next tats!
Hell yeah ! Eli is the man !! Im so happy and proud of my new tattoo. Super relaxed and chill, he explains everything in a understanding way. Ill highly recommend him to everyone that wants a tattoo.Thanks man !
I wanted to give Jessica the amazing review she deserves! I went in Saturday, February 6th to get a portrait tattoo done of my puppy who has past. I gave her the picture and ideas that I wanted. She went into amazing detail. Color came out amazing. Tattoo is healing great! Her work is just absolutely amazing. She was fast, professional and very clean. You can tell she loves what she does by the effort she puts in. Very happy with how my tattoo turned out. & again, thank so much Jessica! Will most definitely go back to her for any future tattoos.
Eli did a clean, well measured job on a friends lobes and my navel. A very professional and skilled piercer.If you get your piercing done at Downers Grove Tattoo, speak to Eli. Jessica is sloppy and measures poorly but Eli does good work!The business takes reviews and customer satisfaction seriously.
I’ve gotten two tattoos done by Eli and though his work is good he overcharged me tremendously. I paid $250 each for two tattoos that should have been no more than $100 each considering the size and time. Great work but mindful he rips you off nicely.
Eli is amazing, would recommend him to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
I’m new to town and felt like getting new ink. I just had a 4 hour session with Eli and he was awesome! Will definitely come back and recommend more people to come get tatted by him. Thank you Eli!
Amazing service. Friendly staff & exceeded my expectations!
Eli was so friendly and did such a good job with my nose piercing!!!
Eli was super helpful and took time to understand exactly what I wanted. Awesome experience
Ive gotten several tattoos down by Eli. The 1st few was good but the last one I received, he botch my son name on a baby footprint tattoo.
I went to the shop because I thought I had a infection in one of my piercings. The piercer, Eli S., was very professional and super nice. He offered great advice about how to help with my piercing, and I really appreciated it! Super great and clean environment.
Awesome atmosphere and great conversation. Very professional
This was great my artist Alex was great and as far as design you get what you get
I got my first tattoo here with Jessica. I absolutely LOVED it. I texted her beforehand to schedule and appointment and discuss prices. When I got to the shop, she already had my design prepared exactly the way I wanted. The price is reasonable, and you pay beforehand—my price was determined by design and not hours. (and i love that they don’t hold a deposit unlike the other tattoo places). It only took about 10 min for her to set up everything and the tattoo process wasn’t bad at all! My tattoo took about an hour for a 3in design, and it came out nicely! She got it bandaged with a saniderm, which i really love. Would definitely come back to Jessica for more tattoos!
I got a piercing from eli and i loved it! he was super great and informative!
I had Jess! She did my earrings! I had past problems with my ears and she took really good care of them and told me exactly how to clean them! She was super nice and was patient with me! I totally recommend her!
My wife recently got a tattoo from this place. The tattoo came out fine. She paid Eli and left without thinking much about it. It was a small tattoo and it only took the artist 15 minutes to complete. After showing the tattoo to some of her friends, she realized that she was extremely overcharged for this work. If anyone is thinking about getting a tattoo from Downers Grove tattoo CO, just be aware that you will be price gouged.
I got a tattoo on my left forearm from Eli Scott. He was quick with a high quality final product. When I arrived for the appointment, the design was already completed. Very happy with my overall experience.
Got pierced by Jessica and could not be happier. She did a great job and made me feel completely at ease. 10/10 would recommend
Jessica Bone is great with kids’ earlobe piercings. She has a nice assortment of titanium posts so your daughter isn’t stuck with something blah during the healing. Very easy. She’s very knowledgeable and helpful. Two separate, favorable experiences.
Stopped by on a whim to get a tattoo , was so helpful and took me as a walk inn and did a phenomenal job ! I am very happy with my tattoo and service ! ill be back !!
Eli was absolutely amazing!!! Wonderful tattoo, wonderful service and communication. My tattoo is absolutely beautiful and I will definitely be coming backk!!!
Eli is the man. Gave me a sick tattoo and couldn’t be happier. I will definitely be dropping by again soon. He runs a great business and is very talented.
This place is amazing I heard off them from someone else and went to get a tattoo on my arm. Normally they work by appointment but they took me that day I was having the name of a kpop band that saved me from depression tattooed and I was very happy I cant stop smiling when I look at my arm. Cant wait to go back for my cover up. Thank you so much for the great work.💜💜💜💜💜
Shout out to Eli!!! What a great establishment and great artist! I’m so happy with the outcome of my tattoo and the great customer service! Eli thank you so much for my awesome dove. I appreciate it so much!!!!!
Got some great ink from Eli today! 😁 Was nervous about trying out a new place but Im glad I did. Definitely recommend. Definitely going back for more.
Been here twice already and I’ve loved it all definitely will be back to see Alex
I love the outcome of my tattoo and Eli did a great job helping me get exactly what I wanted and helping me feel more relaxed while getting my first tattoo.
Loved Eli’s work. Can’t wait to get my next one.
Called in and asked for an email address to send pictures for a quote. I was informed that Id have to come into the shop (40 mins away) to book another future appointment in order to get a quote. After the second visit, Id come in a third time for my first sitting.I stated that I wanted three pieces done and didnt want to discuss them in small format (ie. cellphone).A friend recommended this shop, but it doesnt make sense that I wouldnt be able to sit until my third visit.The artist I spoke to was Jen Bone. I also asked for Eli Scott but was told that had to reached out to him through Instagram, which I dont have.
John did an absolutely fantastic job on my tattoo. It was my first tattoo, and he did a great job of making me feel really comfortable about what I was committing to, and he let my mom and best friend be in the room while he worked on me. I got this tattoo two weeks after I turned eighteen, and I had the word Love tattooed in my dads handwriting as a tribute to him. It looks EXACTLY like his handwriting, I am so grateful for it. The down payment is a little higher than most places, but well worth it. It says on here that John is rude but I found him quite pleasant. And Im an eighteen year old girl, so you have to be pretty annoying to have him be rude to you. Great work, Im very happy.
Eli was very helpful and answered all of our questions. Great experience.
Ive had 4 tattoos done here and the experience was great, the tattoos healed really well and had perfect saturation even still to this day...5+ years later. Everyone was very patient with me. Fair prices. The only thing I wish they did is finger tattoos. Always my 1st choice!!!
An awesome environment, such nice artists!!
Extremely disappointed with the results of my tattoo! Johnny performed the work on both myself and my wife. We had a tribute tattoo done that was supposed to match. During our first visit, Johnny was very optimistic about the artwork to be done, however, after all was said and done his demeanor changed. He was full of excuses and continually talked down to us. My wife and myself paid $400 for our two tattoos and have since learned we could have had better work done for nearly half this amount. Of the portraits done on both my wife and myself, her tattoo was missing an eyebrow and my matching tattoo was missing a portion of the eye wear. We have now decided to have Johnnys work covered up and the original artwork re-done by someone else. If you are looking for an old-school tat with a simple design, perhaps Downers Grove Tattoo Co. might work for you. Make sure you inspect your tattoo carefully for missing content before you leave though. Johnny seems to overlook a lot, except for his payment.
Eli did a great job. First tattoos and they are amazing love them so much. Quick and efficient!!
So, I am a clean/ neat freak and this place defiantly is one of the nicest shops I have been in. Jimmy was my guy when I got an industrial piercing, very much impressed! It happened so fast and it wasnt even painful (I know everyones pain is different) but I was prepared to feel something haha. Super nice guys, highly recommend!!!
Alex did my first tattoo and was very patient with me 😘
Eli was super helpful and kind. Come here for quality piercers!
Eli did a rat holding a flower tattoo on me. It turned out amazing!! He was so sweet and listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions
Always happy after leaving here! Jessica Bone has done 3 of my tattoos and 1 on my wife. Her watercolor skills are beyond exceptional!!!
Eli is the best! Dont waste your time going anywhere else!
This is a great place very professional and nice people, you come for what you want and they get it done.
I just got my belly button Peirced by Eli and he does so well he walked me through everything and told me what was happening. It was a really good experience. I have no complaints!
If I could give it no stars I would. Im not going into detail and I didnt get the dudes name ( I say dude because men dont act like he did) but myself, my daughter, and a friend was treated with the utmost disrespect Ive ever experienced in a supposedly professional business. And the only thing I could chalk it up to is the dude was racist. Dude, my skin might be brown but my money is just as green. After we were very rudely dismissed unnecessarily by this dude we went right up the street and got the most professional and courteous service ever. I wouldnt recommend this place to a dog.
Eli Scott’s tat shop had great service, and was very friendly
Eli is excellent at what he does. Wouldnt go anywhere else.
I am amazed with Jessicas work, and the professionalism shown by the staff at Downers Grove Tattoo. I will never go anywhere else for my tattoos. Hands down the best tattoo experience! beyond pleased!
Love my new piece. Had a good time while getting it. Jessica hooked me up.
Was rescheduled several times and was not made aware that I had to come alone. Also, was not provided a pic or drawing of what I was going to have done after asking. Disappointed and will continue to shop around. I did ask to donate my deposit to someone who can’t afford one.
If I can give zero stars, I would. I called in ahead of time to check the availability and on the phone he was okay, got to the shop within ten minutes, walked in and right away he was rude. Saying that he had someone coming in and it will take him all night, he had no customers so I wanted to Google another place or book an appointment with him....he says, we need to leave because he doesnt want to baby sit us, very rude and will never go back.
Eli was fantastic, offered lots of great suggestions for my first tattoo. I will be coming back for more
Great place for a tattoo! I got my first tattoo from Eli Scott, it was an overall positive and easy experience.
Jess did a great job with my watercolor tattoo. Everything was very neat, clean and professional. Definitely would choose them again.
This spot was awesome. Amazing selection and clean set up. The staff helped me get what I needed super fast with no up sale. I highly recommend.
First tattoo I ever got. Was easy and reasonable price. GOT a cute pink flamingo and palm tree. Want to get tigger and pooh or rigger and a sunflower. The first tattoo was my 60th birthday present.
I had the best experience here, and the staff were extremely patient and attentive to my needs! 100% recommend.
Where to start ive had botth eli and Jessica do work i had 2 tattoos from both of them and Jessica knocked out the first one and the 2nd one i felt like she dropped the ball and did not try so hard and as far as eli he knocked both of my peaces out of the water the experience i had with both of the artists where night and day eli took exta care to walk me through every detail on what was going happen as far as free hand shadeing or details he made my experience amazing and definitely going to have him do more work
I came in town just to visit my mother and did expect to get a new tattoo but my wife and I decided we should. The service was amazing very professional and clean. Couldnt of asked for a better shop. I have over 30 tattoos and I can honestly say that I will be coming back here for more
