My experience at Eternal Tiger Tattoo was flawless. Chuck gave me my first piercing and Dan gave me my first tattoo. Everyone at ET was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. This studio is top notch. Can’t say enough about their cleanliness and efficiency. These are true professionals who leave you feeling like you’ve gotten your money’s worth. I can’t wait to get my next tattoo with Dan. He takes great pride in his art and has a great vision for larger pieces. Communication is key. I always felt like I could approach my artist or the staff with changes and they would be heard. Thanks for the great experience gang!

I would highly recommend Eternal Tiger to anyone that needs a tattoo or a piercing!I had my nose pierced by Chuck three weeks ago and got a small tattoo done by Eric last week. The piercing was quick and easy. Chuck was very nice and the piercing didn’t hurt at all. Eric was also great. He’s very talented and I’m already thinking about what I should get next!

From start to finish, everyone here is super friendly, knowledgeable, and great to hang out around. I walked in with some general ideas, I left today with a HUGE smile on my face with the work the artist did. I already have another appointment booked where I will add more photos of that as well. If you are looking to get super creative, run of the mill, or even just not sure in general, Eternal Tiger is the place to get your body mods done. While we were getting the piece done, the artists had some hilarious conversations, checked up on me during and after, and we even sang some awesome songs during the process. Look no further than Eternal Tiger for a great place to come back to time and time again! Big thanks to my artist, Alex!

Place had an extremely cool vibe and all staff were quick, friendly, and efficient with getting you in. Booking was fast, and getting to the appointment was timely—no waiting around at all. All the artists were super cool, and my tattoo artist, Eric, was extremely nice and does great artwork. Pricing was not over-expensive, and you get what you pay for. Definitely recommend for all types of tattoos, and overall very comfortable and enjoyable experience.

I got my first face piercing (eyebrow) at this Eternal Tiger Tattoo in November and now it’s March and it healed beautifully! ^o^ They gave me an aftercare sheet about how to clean the piercing and were very helpful through the whole process, which was very quick but well placed. My piercer, Alex, made sure I liked the placement before going through with it. I will be coming back with friends for future piercings for sure 🫶

I was a walk in appointment with my sister and we both got pierced by shyann. she was so very sweet and easily accommodated my tendency to faint. i am really nervous with needles and she was very comforting and quick with the piercing. she did a great job with placement and was overall so nice to be around. she helped me pick out the cutest jewelry and was very patient. will definitely be coming back, already thinking about what i want next :)

I’ve been going to eternal tiger for about a year now and I’ve gotten both eyebrows, my vertical labret, my first tattoo, jewelry removal and just recently my navel. Staff has always been super welcoming and friendly, Chuck has been the one to do all of my piercings and Alex did my tattoo. Everything was done quickly, cleanly, efficiently, and had absolutely no problems healing (and looks great!) They answer any questions you have and overall is a wonderful environment and this is my go-to place for any body-mods. Love it

This place hella overcharged my freshly 18 yo brother on his first tattoo. It took less than an hour and they charged him 300. They didn’t quote him before and when I asked why they didn’t quote him they said “he never asked” you guys are the professionals and know this is an 18yos first tattoo you’re supposed to go over that stuff. Definitely would not recommend. Not to mention the line work isn’t even clean.

Eternal Tiger is a great place if you are thinking about getting your first tattoo. I got my first tattoos from them and both of the tattoos turned out amazing. The staff and artists are really nice to talk and are super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend you go to them for your tattoos.

We were on vacation up north, and we called to see what time they closed. It was half an hour after they stopped taking appointments, but when the artist found out we were on vacation and trying to be spontaneous and make a memory together, he told us to come on in. They did three small tattoos for us, amazing shop, artists and, most of all, amazing customer service.PS-as a replacement for a rave review of my humble tattoo artist, I would like to also say that the bathroom was immaculate!

Last week I decided to get my nose pierced after being very indecisive for years. I was referred to Eternal Tiger by someone I know and I am beyond pleased with how my piercing has been treating me. I have been following my piercers instructions on aftercare and I appreciate the clear instructions I received by the piercer as well as by a card given to me when I got pierced. I will definitely come back soon! :)

Able to get me in next day (same day walk in may have been available too but I wasnt ready for that). Eric did a great job working with a design I brought in, he cleaned it up a bit at my request and was able to make some minor adjustments during the tattoo process as well. Great skill, great communication, great final product!

The staff is fantastic. This was my first tattoo and they made the experience stress free and fun. The artist are committed to giving the customer exactly what they’re looking for and providing invaluable input to ensure it is done right. Wanted some writing in my tattoo and was given an education as to what could happen if the font selected was to small. They were more concerned about my being happy way on down the road than giving me what I wanted without informing me.The vibe at Eternal Tiger was awesome so if you’re looking for a new tattoo/and or piercing then check them out. And if this is your first time you’ll love them because they’ll take great care with you. Looking forward to visiting them again. Check them out. You’ll be glad you did.

Review №15

Went here to get a septum piercing done and was lied to in my face saying that everything looked good, not only by the piercer but the cashier as well. After taking a quick glance at myself in the mirror, you could visibly see that it was pierced completely crooked. Went to another shop to get a second opinion and they told me my best bet was to just take it out. I decided to give this place a call back right after getting the second opinion to see what could be done and how they could accommodate me after wasting $80 on a botched piercing all they said was to come in on Friday when the owners are in, mind you it’s Tuesday so I’d have to wait 3 days to even get seen and address the issues with the owners, and they’ll see what they can do keeping it vague and not specifying any course of action they would take or let alone any compensation, $80 down the drain unfortunately.

This place is crazy good at what they do. Ask for Alex. He is a hidden gem. His work is by far the best work Ive seen in a long time. The coolest vibes and he is fast. I just got a massive tattoo on my arm, I couldnt be happier with the results. Im definitely coming back here. Nobody will be touching this art piece but Alex. Thanks again you stud.

Went in for a walk-in tattoo the process was super smooth I was able to get what I wanted by a really talented artist named Sydney who was a guest at the shop that day. My fiancé also got work done by another talented artist named Dan. The vibes were great! And the tattoos were even better, highly recommend going here! I know we’ll be back for sure 🤙🏼

Review №18

The artist that did my tattoo was wonderful. The studio itself is on the not so pleasant part. I had an emergency had to go out of town. They took my entire deposit. When I tried to make another appointment I have been reaching out for three days and not a single response from the artist or the studio. Very poor way to run a business

Review №19

When I think about Eternal Tiger, I immediately get a smile on my face because of all the permenant love I have from here. The second you walk in, you’re greeted with professionalism and knowledge. Shannon is such a wealth of information when it comes to their services and takes such great care in understanding your wants but relaying proper expectations. All of the artists are incredibly talented, amazing people. La’Nere has been working on a sleeve for me and his professionalism, attention to detail and precision, his understanding of me as a client, his care for his art, his humble attitude, his raw talent and skill for me is unmatched. However that is no slight to truly all of the remarkable humans inside the home that is Eternal Tiger. Chuck, recently pierced me up with the hands of an angel and so kind and gentle. Alisha! So talented. Neil is the man. I could carry on about this place and give them many verbal blowies. They deserve it. I ONLY recommend them for all of your creative body modifications. 5 stars isn’t enough. Keep being amazing. The world needs you.

10/10 recommend! I went in today for a nostril piercing and loved the experience. It’s very clear Chuck knows what he’s doing and that he takes pride in his work. The piercing was very quick and easy. The environment was very clean and sterile.

Any realistic tattoo art you want done, eternal tiger has an amazing artist named la’nere. I had asked for a tattoo of Jesus on my left forearm and he did not disappoint. He cares deeply about the details in his work and puts above and beyond effort into it. I strongly recommend this shop for anyone especially first timers you’ll receive nothing but the best care and advice from every artist there.

It was my first tattoo and this is the only place I found that I felt comfortable going to. I walked in and the process was simple. I came back for the appointment with Dan and we discussed the tattoo. I was nervous getting it on my wrist since it is pretty small. However Dan had made the stencil for the head and freehanded the rest of the body on me. I would definitely recommend working with Dan; he knows what he’s doing. Every one else on the team was also very welcoming and overall it was a great experience. I will be coming back to this team of artists when I’m ready for another tattoo. Big thanks to everyone at Eternal Tiger Tattoo!!

Eternal tiger does AMAZING piercing work! as someone who has a history of piercing infections and rejection, i was a bit nervous when i went in to get my nose pierced. i wish i remembered the piercers name but they did absolutely phenomenal! it was over in less than 5 minutes, almost zero pain, and they played music to distract me since im not too good with needles! if you’re wondering if my piercing healed okay, i just took it out and replaced it today after just over 2.5 months and everything looks perfect. thank you eternal tiger and i will be back for more piercings!!

Awesome staff. LaNere does amazing work, asked to cover up a tattoo on my back and gave me a full back piece that is incredible . LaNere also has done great work on my arm, snake and skull on my upper arm and an American traditional piece on my forearm. Dan is another great artist, fixed a decade old tattoo on my shoulder, adding a wicked spider and webs. Definitely recommend both these artists and eternal tiger

My artist Dan did an amazing job on my tattoo, from the design to the work and process, it all went smoothly. I had been looking for a place to get this piece done and eternal tiger was the perfect spot, the staff was friendly and the atmosphere the artist set as they work and talk helped to make the process go by a lot easier and quicker. I’ve gotta say I’m extremely happy with my piece and looking forward to getting some more work done here.

My hubby and I dropped in on a whim just to see if we could get a walk in appointment, and they accommodated both of us without a long wait time. The staff was absolutely welcoming and fun to talk to. Dan Jones was our tattoo artist and he was GREAT!! He did an amazing job on both of our tattoos and was fun to chat with. I can honestly say that we left there saying Weve found our place for any additional tats, we will be going there. Thank you Dan and all of the rest of the staff for making our experience at Eternal Tiger an amazing one!!Debbie and Bill Connolly

My son and I went here for our first tattoos. It was a great experience. Dan our artist at our consultation listened, and answered all of our questions. Dan even had some tips to help make our first tattoo experience a bit easier. We scheduled our appointment for the actual tattoo work several weeks in advance. The shop is clean, Dan did clean all the surfaces prior to starting. My tattoos was beautifully drawn by Dan. The stencil placement was exactly where I wanted it. And the tattoo when completed was more beautiful than expected. My son also is extremely pleased with his first tattoo as well. Dan was engaging and fun to talk to throughout the appointment. I know that I will be back.

Review №44

Went for my septum. The place is nice and the employees are nice but the piercing itself was not. The piercer did not check the anatomy of my nose or use clamps to make certain of the spot. Also, he brought the needle all the way through so he poked around to try and find the hole but couldn’t so he re pierced it (slightly angled). I had to go to another shop down the road to make sure he did it right.

I recently had an epic experience at this shop. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed with the clean and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was not only friendly but also highly knowledgeable and skilled in their craft. Eric was the one giving me my tattoo for the day. He did a very good job of making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Eternal Tiger Tattoo for anyone seeking professional and top-quality tattoo work in a friendly and clean environment. I couldnt be happier with my experience and the ink I now proudly wear. Cant wait for my next one!

I genuinely never take the time to write reviews, but my heart kept screaming at me to write one for Eternal Tiger Tattoo as well as for my amazing artist Randy. I was stunned by how completely immaculate and organized the shop was. I was so impressed with how everyone was so hospitable and accommodating. Offering drinks, snacks, and candy and making you feel right at home.There truly are not enough wonderful words to say about Randy. He not only is one of the most talented artists I have ever seen, but he is the most real, honest, and most down-to-earth people I have ever met. He listened to what I wanted and made me feel confident in my decision. He was so patient and willing to answer each of my questions I had.I have been planning on getting a memorial tattoo in honor of my grandparents as well as a paw print from my dog for such a long time. I couldn’t be happier that I was honored with getting such a meaningful gift from such a talented artist like Randy. He made both of my tattoos look so realistic and almost near perfect to the original. I seriously could not be anymore grateful than I am right now.

I recently worked La’nere on designing and tattooing a large black and gray realism piece on my upper arm. He knocked every aspect out of the park. He made me feel incredibly comfortable throughout the process and his attention to detail was incredible. 100 percent recommend and will most definitely be back to work with him again. As La’nere told me the first time I met him- trust the process.

Review №56

My first experience at Eternal Tiger was with Randy. He tattooed a ring on my finger for my husbands and I 8th wedding anniversary. He was honest about the natural results of ring tattoos and how it will look after time has gone by. He is hilarious and genuine.A month later I went again to see Neil for my realism tattoo. Neil is beyond talented. My tattoo turned out better then I ever hoped. He listened to my ideas while also adding his own expert advice. This was my first large tattoo (on my forearm) and he was very thoughtful during the many hours it took by giving me breaks and lidocaine spray. I was very nervous and he made the experience into a true memory.

I’ve been to multiple tattoos shops and they have all been good. Eternal Tiger Tattoo Shop stands out and is a tattoo shop I will go back to and get all my work done at. They’ve made me a loyal customer. There are multiple talented artists and each one is very talented in the style they are best at. Me and 3 friends walked in, got a time to come back same day and each of us got our tattoos completed at the promised time. The woman at the front desk was very nice and helpful. The tattoo artists are funny, professional, helpful, and great at what they do. They have cool games to roll the dice to pick a tattoo out of a book and you get the tattoo on the numbered page. The shop is comfortable to sit in and wait and they offer you a soda or water while you’re waiting. They surpassed my expectations and I am so happy I have finally found a shop I love and will continue to go back to.

I have gone to this tattoo shop for all of the tattoos I have and they have done amazing work without a doubt. Le’nere has done 2 of my 4 tattoos and I love the work he’s done, all the artist there do amazing work and they have really good prices for the amazing work that they do. I have brought friends there to get tattoos and they all say it’s a 10/10 experience. They are extremely friendly, great environment, and they answer any and all questions you have about tattoos and is over all a wonderful tattoo experience if it’s your first tattoo or if you just want something new.

This was my first tattoo and I decided to go with a big one. I brought my ideas to my artist,Neil, and he put together a design way beyond my imagination and expectations. To say I’m satisfied with the outcome is a huge understatement! His talent, precision and attention to detail are unreal. Overall everyone at eternal tiger has been super friendly and unapologetically hilarious 😂 I went into the process thinking this would be my first and last tattoo, but seeing the outcome something tells me I’ll be back for more. Huge thank you to Neil and the team here, great job, guys and gals! 🤘

Came in a few weeks ago for a tragus piercing. I was nervous about sensitivity, heal time, and aftercare. Chuck and the rest of the staff were awesome. Everything was clean and they made me feel super at ease during the process. A few days after I wanted a follow up that everything looked good and I wasn’t messing up the healing process. The staff yet again were awesome and took the time to look and reassure me that it was looking good. I have followed all of the aftercare and it looks great! I will be back for future piercings for sure.

I went and got my 2nd lobes done in November 2023 and they were healing fine decided to go back in Jan 2024 to get helix and 3rd lobes in both ears. I chose the earrings that I wanted making sure to stay within budget(piercing price includes some jewelry )so I chose all 4 the same. Piercing went smooth and everything was fine unfortunately I wish Chuck or the girl at the front desk would have given their professional advice on choosing butterfly backs to pierce with. Overall everything was fine the only thing was I wish they had suggested better material or at the very least suggest flat backs. If you want to get pierced here please do your research about initial jewelry and proper downsizing since unfortunately this was not an option for me.

I had a great experience getting a tattoo with Alisha. From the consultation she really seemed to get what my idea was and was able to get me scheduled quickly. The appointment went great. She made sure to show me that everything was sterile and she made sure I was comfortable the whole time. I also had a peircing done by Chuck before and again everything went smoothly. He has great bed side manner and made sure everything was fine after my appointment. I will definitely be going back!

Review №87

Honest review; If i could give Eric a personal rating alone, I’d give him 5 stars. Awesome artwork, and a super chill dude. Absolutely love my tattoo. However, I was not too happy with this shop & the environment. For starters, and I am sure this is no fault of Eric’s—I waited 2 hrs to actually get under the needle. The first design he presented me was not really what I described , and he confirmed that the communication between whoever runs the DMs to the artists, is poor. If you are expecting any sort of privacy here—Don’t. And that wasn’t really a major issue for myself, but I know many people prioritize that when getting tattooed. I was in their ‘main’ room with 3 other artists & their clients, and it was jam packed with fold-out beds, not your typical tattoo-chairs. Very crowded. It was definitely uncomfortable in comparison to my experience at other shops. (not to mention, they were not very welcoming when i arrived) So overall, great art & very talented artists, but I would not return due to the nature of the shop.

My friend and I did walk in piercings, best experience! Friendly staff when you come in, and the process was super quick and easy. Nearly painless! She got a lip and septum, I got an ear and nip piercing. Would recommend to anyone, been to other places for piercings and never felt as comfortable as I did here. The aftercare process cards are super helpful and appreciated. Again staff made it a great, our piercer helped with jokes to calm the nerves! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Eternal Tiger has by far the best team! This is the second tattoo that I’ve had done from this shop and the stud that knocked this piece out was without a doubt one of the most humble and committed artists that I ever had the privilege of working with! He is a master of his craft and after 8 hours of laboring over this piece, all he would say is he’d do this again anytime. I’ll definitely be back

Randomly decided to get my septum done on v day. Walked right in and was pierced and out of there within the hour. Alex was super chill and I felt very comfortable the entire time. Not to mention he did a great job on my septum. The shop in itself is really nice and laid back. They also had a lot of different options for jewelry to start with. I honestly couldnt recommend this place more for your piercings. Thank god I had several friends recommend it to me last minute. Thanks ET and Alex!!

I went in on sunday and Chuck took great care of me! I was honestly nervous to do a walk in however they were great! Its been 2-3 weeks now with my piercings, they are healing great and I havent had any issues with them at all! Great place, I paid around $120 for both sides of my nose but with the more secured jewelry.My partner got a thigh tattoo with Dan (i believe?) and it healed great. The detail and work is beautiful, not sure what he paid but it was a decent sized tattoo and im 90% it was under $300Great place, I 100% recommend!

I brought my daughter here for a nose piercing on 2/19/23 I was surprised by how quick everything was and how great it came out. My daughter loves it and we’re both glad we chose this place. I also liked how they ask for documents to prove a minors identity and parental relationship before they do the job. This is important to me knowing they are very thorough and professional with their business.

I brought my daughter here to get her nose pierced so I was EXTREMELY relieved once we got there- It was very clear that they are professional, by the book, clean, and experienced! There was plenty of other customers but we only had to wait 5 minutes. Though it was a bit expensive (60$ jewelry included) I would rather pay more to get quality and safe work done!

I don’t think i’ll ever go to a different tattoo/piercing shop. I came in late to my appointment, and eric/the person taking the phone were both so understanding/didn’t make me feel bad about it at all. The atmosphere was great, I was so nervous prior to coming in but once I actually entered the shop I felt much better. You can tell the artists really enjoy their job here and care about their work and making their customers comfortable. Cannot recommend this place enough!

They did a very good job. Im in Chicago for A school and I decided to get a tattoo. Ive been around to a couple shops around Chicago and this by far is the best spot Ive found. Very friendly staff and very good designs depending on what you get. They hook you up and they dont charge crazy prices out the door so you wont be broke when you leave lol. Very clean place, cool art everywhere you look inside the building. They even got a pool table! 10 outta 10! You wont regret getting a tat here.

My son went there to get his first tattoo for his 20th birthday. He was recommended to go there from a friend and ask for Dan, and it was a great experience for him. Theyre all great to work with, from the people behind the desks to the people behind the guns. The atmosphere is chill and Dan is a very talented artist. My son loves his tattoo and I was so impressed with the fine details of it that Im going back for myself to get a cover up done. Its hard finding an artist that vibes with what you want and can trust your body with. We found a place to go for all tattoos moving forward :) Thank-you Dan for taking such good care of him!

Review №119

Went to get a nose piercing a few weeks ago with 2 friends - only 2 of us got nose piercings. We got our nose piercings done by Chuck. For first impressions, process was super efficient and everything looked professional and sanitized so 10/10 there. Staff was pretty cool and piercing was quick. The problem started after we got the piercings. It’s completely understandable that some piercings go awry, but the situation went left so fast. First, my friend’s skin started growing over the piercing on the same day and she ended up just taking out the jewelry because it was already giving her too many complications. My piercing was healing just fine initially but about 3 days later the top of my jewelry randomly just fell out. I was cleaning it gently and wasn’t touching the area, but a very light accidental brush of my nose made the top part of the piercing fall out. I planned to go to the shop the next day to have them look at it / replace if needed. The next day, I was running a meeting during work (on camera) and all of sudden my piercing completely fell out and spurted blood everywhere. On my desk, a huge pool in my sink, and little spots all over my apartment. I bled so much that I truly thought I might have had to call an ambulance. At one point, I bled so much that I coughed up a blood clot 3 inches long. After the bleeding stopped, I drove back to the shop (40 mins away from me) and told the piercer what happened (not the same piercer who did mine). They quickly told me that the piercing I picked wasn’t good at all and usually doesn’t stay in well. Probably would have been good to get that expert opinion BEFORE I shelled out $80 on a piercing that fell out within 4 days. After trying to put in a different type of piecing (that they wanted to charge me for) and literally crying tears of blood during the process, he decided that it was best to just let it close. Instead of “sorry we didn’t advise you beforehand”, I got a “well that sucks but at least you know for next time”. He told me that I could just let it heal and come back in two weeks. After such a traumatic experience, I will absolutely not be coming back and plan to go somewhere more professional and customer-centered.

It was quick and easy! I got my septum done June 3rd and the piercer was absolutely amazing. He was very kind and told me everything about what was happening or going to happen even making fun jokes to lessen the fear/stress.

Having waited since I was 13 for my septum piercing I am happy it was with Eternal Tiger Tattoo making my future tattoo plans very likely to be here again!

Outstanding artists with a terrible management/foh. Got double booked, waited 2 hours for an appointment and then told to come back on noon on tuesday. Just doesnt work. Not a reflection of the artists, but management clearly doesnt care about the people coming in, which isnt fair to either the artists or the clients.This isnt the first time front of house has caused issues with an appointment and its honestly extremely unprofessional.

I walked into Eternal Tiger and was greeted immediately in a very friendly manner. The overall environment is very welcoming and very very clean, which is really important. The posters and furniture and the way everything is set up in the shop is so cool and has a lot of personality. My piercer was informative and cleaned every piece of equipment before performing the piercings. They also give you a sheet about piercing aftercare that covers every type of piercing and even the contact information of the piercer or the establishment. I would 10/10 recommend this to all of my friends

After seeing the other positive reviews, came in at about 12:30 pm on a Saturday to enquire about getting a Bears logo tattoo. My expectation was to schedule an appointment, but much to my happy surprise they were able to get me in immediately.The artist was a great conversationalist, which counts for a lot when theyre working on you for 3 hours! But more importantly, his work was immaculate, it was a perfect copy of the reference image. The lines were clean and sharp, and the saturation on the orange in the image was excellent. I get compliments on it all the time.Their advice on aftercare and their responsiveness to my questions and concerns was top notch as well. Just a really well-run shop staffed with true professionals in their field.Im sure Ill be getting other tattoos in the future, and there is nowhere else Id consider going.

They helped me with little details on my design, they were clear on aftercare, it was quick, easy, and alot cheaper than I thought itd be. I loved my tattoo artist. On top of doing an amazing job, he let me bring my sister in the room with me for support and also kept my mind busy by talking to us. It was all around a great experience.

When stars align you find an artist like Neil. In Lake Villa, IL of all the world. He truly is a master tattoo artist that will be too famous and booked any day now so take advantage of his skills before they leave our area. I have gone to Neil for years. I’ve never been a loyal customer to any specific artist but after I met him and had my first tattoo from him I haven’t gone anywhere else. If I need a piece I message him and we get to work ASAP. His shop is a tattoo lovers dream. Quirky and gorgeous and clean and unique. The music is always on point too. But it’s really his skill and gentle nature that bring me back time and time again. I feel at peace while he works and the results are tattoos that will stand the test of time, get raving compliments and heal like a dream. I’ve watched him progress in his art career to do hyper realistic style work and honestly it’s the exact opposite of those hilarious horrible tattoo pages. His work is breathtaking, showstopping, worth every penny which by the way he asks a fraction of what his work should cost. I will continue to see Neil for work because he is simply the best. I always show off his Instagram account to people asking me where to go for a tattoo. His kind and humble nature is to be celebrated. I’m so proud of him and am blessed to have found him.

The people and environment were very nice. Surprised me a bit when I was brought into a room where someone was getting their tattoo done next to me but hey as long as it doesnt distract the piercer idc. They gave me an industrial and I realized it was too short so I went back the next day. The phone guy was a little rude about me asking for a longer bar but the piercer did it with no problems and didnt seem to mind. Very nice experience. Make sure you do a little research about how your piercing should fit beforehand so you dont have to go back.

She had him write down his info and said they had a few appointments already (understandable) and possibly get in at 4 pm that day OR they would call him. They did not and when we called around 430 they said they still were busy but would call him later to see if they could. They never did. Seemed like a really cool vibe in the shop, but thats not a good way to do business. All you had to do was communicate it might not be possible that day and have him schedule an appointment for next time. It was a very simple tattoo with easy placement. Disappointed.

My husband and I got tattoos here. Mine was with a guest artist Mike who was very nice and very talented, would definitely travel to his home shop for another tattoo! But the REAL gem of this shop is La’Nere!!!! He did my husbands tattoo and wow!! The pure artistry on every level… lines, shading, dimension, the little details, down to the way he held the gun! This dude was born to create and you can see that in his tattoos! Will absolutely be back to be tattooed with him again!!

My sister had went to Neil for her tattoo so she recommended him to me for getting my daughters names. He is very patient and tries to give you the best of what you want with what will look best. I’m in love with my tattoo! Pricing is not bad either! Definitely looking to come back for future tattoos.

Got two piercings from Alex. First off he has such a fantastic dude, he is always seems to be smiling which really helps ease the nerves!! Both piercings looked fantastic by the way, he literally got me in and out, within 10 minutes it was awesome and so convenient! I loved my first experience and loved the drawing / paintings on the wall so much I had to get a tattoo. I got tattooed by Alisha…. Let me tell you….. she is soooooo talented at what she does, lines where soooo crisp. love her style, her vibe, attitude and the ART !Everything about here just made me feel so comfortable. Will be coming here again by the way. All in all, everything about this place is so great 1000/10 recommend going here. 🤘🏼

I have gone here for 2 tattoos and a nose piercing now and have also referred 2 people who ended up getting 3 tattoos from here. It’s my favorite shop I have been to. Everyone is attentive and friendly. I appreciate the person who works the front counter because she’s very good at getting right to the point. Very clean and well maintained establishment. Will definitely be back for more.

Great customer service. I got my nose pierced and had to go back two times since due to stud coming out and closing (got caught on towel). They poked it back through each time without charging me.

Ive never felt more welcome in a tattoo shop than I have at this one. Everyone is incredibly friendly!! Even if they arent your artist, they still stop by and say hi which Ive never seen anywhere else. I felt relaxed and comfortable the entire time, and my artist, Alisha, did an absolutely phenomenal job on my tattoo. Im so excited to have found this place and I cant wait to go back to get another tattoo!!!

Was looking for a new tattoo shop because I just moved and decided on here. I was a tad skeptical due to the 5/5 reviews (you just never see that). But I can whole heartedly tell you that I completely understand the extremely high reviews of this establishment. Everyone was very welcoming and the establishment itself was very clean with a wholesome vibe. The owner himself made time to get me in for a walk-in and helped get my idea finalized. The tattoo itself was easily one of the best quality ones I have (i currently have 9). I definitely will be coming back and recommend them as well.

Excellent. Came to Iron Tiger for the first time today and ended up leaving with a great piece of art. Came in not wanting to spend too much and Neil worked within my price range to give me something I’m happy with. Great shop great artist. I highly recommend this place for your next tattoo.UPDATE: Still 5 stars after my second tattoo here. Everything is very clean and Neil does amazing work. He takes his time to make sure the drawing is good before he puts it on your body. They’re also very accommodating and worked with us immediately as walk ins! Thanks Neil!

I had a tattoo that I wanted freshened up and added to that was 28 years old. Not having a clear idea of what I wanted, I went with letting Dan suggest what will look and work best. He did NOT disappoint! The tattoo turned out beautifully and captured my thought, even as minuscule of an idea that I had, perfectly!!! Very professional, fun, and inviting group of tattoo and piercing artists!!

I just happened to be driving by and my daughter wanted to get her cartilage pierced. Figured I would stop in and check them out. The shop is very clean and looks nice and cozy. Super friendly staff. Neil pierced her and explained everything step by step, reassuring her. She says it barely hurt and wants to get all of her piercings done in a shop from now on. You guys are amazing and affordable!

I got a tattoo today from La’nere and it is absolutely beautiful. He communicated his ideas for my tattoo well and I trusted his artistic input. There was good music playing at all times, the entire shop is squeaky clean, everyone is friendly, and they are very quick while still producing high quality art. I walked-in without an appointment and they were able to see me within 45 mins. Overall great experience & I’m very happy with my newest tattoo:)

I was recommended to go there from a coworker and ask for Dan. He took his time on my design and I was impressed with the fine details. Will be going back to get my sleeve finished but so far he has done an amazing job!

I’ve gone here for two tattoos and i think 4 piercings now. Everyone’s always super nice and they can usually squeeze you in even if you’re bad at planning like me. I’ve never had any issues and have always loved the work they’ve done. I’ll definitely be back many times!

The best tattoo and piercing shop you’ll ever find here in Gurnee, IL. Literally everyone there was down to earth. Shout out to Chris Potter for doing my tattoos! Thank you to the piercer for giving me my septum. They took hella care of me throughout my tattoo sessions and piercing. I seriously cannot thank the people their enough for everything and just being the coolest group of people I’ve ever met!

I’ve gotten multiple pieces done at this phenomenal shop and I’ve brought friends in for work.The artists are all extremely talented and comforting! Nobody is a robot and you immediately feel like you are talking to friends.I got a traditional circus monkey done by Neil,I have a traditional lotus flower done by Randy and a traditional wolf man done by Eric. Everything about this shop is top tier! From the home like vibes with the pool table and mortal kombat arcade box, to the ultra clean and welcoming environment.They also have GET WHAT YOU GET and PLINKO! Which is amazing! I love going in, trusting the artist and walking out with a badass piece. Next time you are around the area and looking for ink, DO NOT sleep on this shop!

I have gotten 2 tattoos done at Iron Tiger Tattoo and both times my experiences there were amazing! Neil, Aleisha and the team are so great at helping you chose the best tattoo designs and making your ideas and creations come to life so much better than you could have ever imagined! The atmosphere there is amazing and of course their work is top notch. I have already recommended quite a few people to go there and I’d keep recommending them to anyone in need of tattoo work or piercings done! 10/10 I highly recommend!
