Arcola Creek Tattoo

Great place, felt welcomed the moment I stepped inside. Clean and tidy. Skye was great with the tattoo, my expectations were blown away. 2 sessions and done, affordable, really made the tattoo pop. 11/10 will go again!

Incredible experience! The talent is undeniable! Ill be referring everybody I know to this shop! Thank you Ryan for an awesome tattoo!

Ryan is an incredible artist that atmosphere is super calming and the other artists in the shop are super friendly and supportive of one another!

My group (5 girls) had gone to Geneva for a bach party and the bride was interested in checking out Arcola Creek Tattoo while we were in town, she enjoyed their portfolios so she wanted some bees to finish off a sleeve. Ryan offered walk-in hours on Friday so we headed over, my group walked in and he (understandably) seemed nervous at first as we had a rather decent sized group. However, Ryan did amazing accommodating everyone to the best of his abilities, even took a jab at personalizing my piece a bit which I was unbelievably excited about. He was very open and honest about what he was comfortable with, fairly priced too. His apprentice, Nicola I think her name is, was incredibly sweet and informative throughout our visit as well. Additionally I loved the overall vibe/tone of the shop, they do keep incense burning that I feel helped my nerves lol

Amazing artists and they are extremely professional and very good prices!:

Skye did a custom piece for me that was incredible. I provided what I thought I wanted, multiple thoughts on paper for her, and she designed the most amazing piece for me. She also did my tattoo and it turned out perfect. The entire experience was fabulous, Skye and Ryan are wonderful humans, they care about each client and do everything they can to have you walk away satisfied with their service. You feel part of the family. Thank you!

I came to Arcola Creek for my first tattoo. It was a really big deal for me and I feel I could not have made a better choice. It was clean, professional and actually relaxing. My whole experience exceeded my expectations. Skye helped me rework my design (numerous times) and was very patient with me. I felt in control of the whole process. She has a wonderful talent and I have recommended her to friends. My tattoo turned out beautifully, especially the healing part, which I attribute to the careful attention Skye gave me while actually inking the tattoo. Bottom line, Ryan and Skye run a clean, professional, friendly atmosphere place to get a tattoo, whether it is your first or one of many. Thank you again!

Skye did my tattoo and she did amazing! I was 100 percent satisfied. Will continue to go to them :)

Ryan and Sky are amazing artists and very welcoming. Both are extremely knowledgeable and will assist you in making sure that the art you have forever will forever be loved. Very laid back and no pressure environment. 10/10 will only come here for tattoos.

Arcola Creek Tattoo is a true local gem for artistic talent!! Ryan and Skyes creativity and performance has always met or exceeded my expectations. Skye has helped us create logos and flyers as well as helped us understand design concepts. They are the first place we turn for any graphic or artistic design!!! Whether its for a tattoo or other form of artwork, you have to check these guys out! They were even recognized by the Madison Garden Club for their beautiful landscaping gardens outside their shop! With the inside of their shop just as welcoming, Skye and Ryan are raising the bar for all tattoo shops!!! Great Art, Great Atmosphere and Great People!!!

Got my first tattoos there last week, great quality and they were very nice! I was nervous(I dont like needles), but Skye helped me relax and was very understanding. They even included a nice after-care package with instructions!

Skye was great. She was prepared with images of what I wanted tattooed and I didnt sit around waiting long. She even talked me through when I was starting to wimp out. Cant wait to go back and get my piece finished!

This place was awesome! Walked in, give my idea and he drew the idea free handed. About one hour later I was out the door! Wow, and I got a nice size tattoo on my inner biceps, such a great job.

Both artists here are great! Super friendly. Everything has always been clean and fresh when Ive gone in multiple times. I have 5 tattoos from here so far. Love the vibe of the shop as well.

Ryan and Skye do a great job! Opened up on their day off so my family who were in town from Iowa could get some ink! I love my art. Started my sleeve and cant be more excited!!

Looking for a professional, clean shop? Solid tattoos? Friendly staff?? Look no further…Great Lakes Tattoo offers up quality work at an extremely reasonable price…I have been tattooed by many artists in many different shops and i must admit Great Lakes is one of my personal favs…Ryan has a knack for taking a good idea and turning it into an awesome tattoo. Hes a good listener, a good artist and a good tattooist…Check them out, you wont be disappointed.

Love it here. Ryan is amazing at what he does!

About a year ago i went in to get a monarch butterfly tattooed on my rib cage. skye is an amazing artist but that day she made a mistake. she should not have come to work. when we got started it seemed like everything was going okay until she kept leaving for decent amounts of time. she didn’t explain when she would come back she would just leave. keep in mind we were the only two people in the shop so i couldn’t ask anyone else. well about 2 hours in she apologized and told me i needed to go because she was sick. not what you want to hear during the pandemics rise.after it started to heal i looked at it and i was so upset. the lines that were supposed to be straight were scraggly! she made me aware that she didn’t finish it before hand but she did not mention this! i feel like she should have stayed home that day. i understand she needs the money but what she’s putting on peoples bodies is permanent! that should matter more! i have gotten one other tattoo with her before but i never had an issue like this! i want to get it fixed but i don’t know if it can be! i can’t figure out how to add an image or i would! again skye is an amazing artist but i was disappointed by this visit.

The tattoo shop was very clean and I enjoyed all of the artwork. Skye was very welcoming and even got me in on very short notice on a sunday! The tattoo she gave me looks amazing and is exactly what I wanted.

I’ve been going to Ryan and Skye every year, sometimes twice a year, since 2014 .It’s a great laid back , super clean, stress free environment with awesome highly skilled artists/tattooist.Highly recommended

Got my first tattoo here in June of 2017 and I couldnt be happier with it. Ryans a great artist and really up front about everything if you arent sure what youre doing. If youre looking to get a first tattoo, this is the place!

Quality work, reasonable pricing, and they have beautiful souls. Skye and Ryan are both incredibly talented artists and i cannot recommend them highly enough.
