Today my sister and I had the pleasure of getting our tattoos done by Rich. He was absolutely amazing from the moment when came in until the time we left he just made our experience very welcoming . This was my sister’s first tattoo and he did an amazing job. I also had a tattoo done and he did an amazing job as well. I look forward to coming back again. Thank you so much Rich!! I will be back soon! Keep being great!
Highly recommend this tattoo place! Rich is easy going, skilled, open and creative-drawing out my ideas, and has great music playing too! Very professional, clean, safe, just a comfortable atmosphere. My daughter Lexi and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Rich is our favorite! Thank you Caroline for the recommendation!(Roba did the dog and dreamcatcher/wolf tats a while back, all the rest were done by Rich. Rich added to my peace sign I already had- to make it so more colorful and a work of art!)
I am local, was looking for someone to do a Saint Michael piece half outer sleeve. After some scouting around, Rich the owner of this shop. Confidently said he could do it. First impressions of the shop were clean, industrial look. After some further research I appreciated the sharpness in the line work of his catalog. Seeing the amount of years this shop has been opened, and the amount of reviews vs the average amount on a shop. I was confident to go thru with the appointment. He stated hourly rate from the initial meet greet. Which was very fair. I think for the size of the tattoo, being a tall individual with a longer arm. He worked quite fast. It doesn’t take long to realize he’s a veteran in the game. I am pleased. If you like sharpness in the lines. Black/grey work. This is the guy. I actually plan to return in a couple of months to talk about a forearm sleeve. I have ideas of things I would like on it. Hopefully you can draw something up for me. Thank you Rich. Great work.One picture is one week healed, the other is fresh.
17 years of getting tattoos by Rich, never disappoints. He’s a great person and glad to call him a friend of mine. I always look forward to the next piece. Thanks as always!Go Get your tattoo booked and feel confident that you are getting the best work done!
Rich did it again! He is a fantastic artist and I wouldnt go anywhere else. Highly recommend his shop.Love my new tattoo. The detail and color are amazing.Thanks Rich!
YALL I whole heartedly hate my tattoo. I give this place to stars because Rich was incredibly kind and affordable. I had the idea to get a lily surrounded by a crown of thorns. As you can see the crown isn’t circular, it’s almost shaped like a heart. Also, lily petals don’t fall like that. Why is there one petal standing straight up? I didn’t like it 100% when I saw it on paper. I wanted it smaller but it ended up being huge. I want to have some adjustments made but don’t want to make things worse.
Definitely recommend anyone to come here Rich and his team are great at what they do. 2 tattoos done by Rich. Definitely stop by here to get yours done .
There’s a reason Rich Kocis (owner) has done 16 of my 22 total tattoos, and 16 out of my most recent 16. He’s a helluva guy! Amazing talent! The only one I’ll let put ink on skin.First pic originally done early 2000, pic taken early November ‘22. 2nd pic took 5 minutes after redo/touch-up right before turkey day ‘22.
I have gotten both of my tattoos from here! The staff is welcoming and very accommodating. They do outstanding work. Today I had Seth and he was a complete gem, and my tattoo turned out even better than I expected!
This was my first time at Peace of Art Tattoo.. I had called and was helped right away on the phone. Seth, took my ideas and created an amazing piece (exactly what I envisioned.) Same day he fit me in! I can’t get over how clean and friendly the staff was. Seth was down to earth and I could tell he was passionate about his work. That made me feel at ease. He was great with adding finishing touches my tattoo needed. I’m beyond impressed and I will be returning and referring this shop to people who want great service and amazing work done.
First time ever being at this shop and my first impression walking in, I was greeted by rich the owner who was very friendly and the ship was very nice and clean. I had an appointment with gabby to get some fillers done on my sleeve but I’m not very happy with how it turned out. Almost every line is blown out, crooked or not complete. Nothing against the shop but I think personally gabby needs more training on simple line work.these pictures are 3 weeks healed
I was looking for an artist to design a memorial tattoo for me. I stopped in at Peace of Art and spoke with Rich. I gave him idea of what I wanted and he created exactly what I had in mind.I love my tattoo!Thank you Rich!
Rich does an excellent job. Hes done all my tattoos, Im 49 been going to him since I was 18. Price are reasonable and art is excellent. Hands down best tattoo artist.
Had the best experience at Peace of Art tattoo. From the very beginning, I was impressed with the level of professionalism, the diversity, and the overall vibe of the shop. I called in & booked with Roba, who did an amazing job and accomplished exactly what I asked for. He had the most gentle spirit, which made me feel so relaxed, and his father (the owner) was the same way. They both offered great conversation, which felt genuine. Everyone was kind. The shop had a calm, relaxing vibe (which was a nice twist bc you don’t always get that with tattoo shops). Roba was patient, focused, and humble. During a time when everything costs an arm and leg, I can honestly say that prices were very reasonable, which made room for me to leave a tip. I look down at my tattoo often and am so happy with it. I will be back again and again. ❤️ P.S. Im about a year late writing the review because I thought I had done it already but better late than never lol!
Rich did my tattoo and it came out amazing he listened to what I wanted and delivered! This was my very first tattoo and he definitely put my mind at ease and made me feel comfortable! He was so nice and friendly. Its family owned operated. The shop was very clean and His prices is very reasonable hes such a great artist! Hes the only artist I will go to when I want another one! Thanks Rich
I was referred here by several friends and family for my first tattoo which was a year ago. I met Rich and he is amazing! I felt very comfortable right away. He did my first two tattoos then and I just returned to him for my third tattoo yesterday. The shop is clean, everyone is friendly and professional. Rich listens and does a great job of guiding you to get the best results. I am so glad I’ve found Rich and his staff! I can feel very confident with the job they do. I’ll be back... again! Thanks Peace of Art!
I got my first tattoo today with Rich & I could not have asked for a better first experience in the tattoo world! He was super easy to talk to, very accommodating, and does great artwork. Very pleased with the finished product and overall experience!
I went to Peace of Art studios for a tattoo, Gabriella did a first class job. It was my first tattoo and I didn’t know what to expect. But it was better than I thought, and Gabriella was very professional. If you are considering getting a tattoo I would definitely suggest Peace of Art Studios!
Ive had many tattoos done here and their work is amazing. I usually have the owner as my artist but had his son, Roba, today and was just as pleased with their work. An amazing family owned business that I would highly recommend. Friendly, professional and amazing at what they do.
This is the second tattoo parlor Ive been tattooed at and the experience was definitely more my speed. When you walk into the parlor its bright and open with original art work and a comfy seating area. The atmosphere is really laid back with very respectful artists - no loud talking or foul language. Madison did two tattoos for me and was wonderful. I told him my ideas and he drew up his draft and they were more perfect than I imagined. His work is very meticulous, creative and clean. I highly recommend visiting Peace of Art Tattoo for all your tattoo needs.
I will try and be brief please read everything. Stopped in Saturday. Roba told me to come back Tuesday for my tattoo. He never wrote my name down for an appointment . Called Monday to see if he needed a picture, since he never wrote my name down he did not know who I was, after talking for a minute he remembered, (before all this I texted him 3 times with no response, messaged him on Facebook twice with no response. Tried to leave a message and the mailbox is full) he told me he would text me and then I will send him a picture, never heard from him. So today I did not bother going, horrible customer service skills, the whole ordeal is kind of strange. How do you trust somebody like that. Made an appointment with someone else already, be careful when places that operate like this
My wife have been getting her tattoos done by rich for 15+ years and we love his work. He lets you know what will and wont work depending on what your trying to do and his freehand is great. The shop is always clean the staff is pleasant and its the best shop to visit for your fresh new ink or upgrading your old ink!!!! Thanks RICH for my cover up
I had Rich do a rose tattoo on my thigh and it looks so realistic!! I was scared because the other place I went to didn’t really care and rushed it, but Rich made conversation with me, which made the time go by faster. Im picky with tattoos and he did more than a perfect job!!! I definitely will be going to him to get all my tattoos done from now on!!
Had a large upper arm tattoo drawn up by Mitchell at Peace of Art Tattoo. He did an excellent job listening to what I wanted, and sent me a couple sketch revision before we finalized on a design. The facility was clean and comfortable, and the result was amazing! The price was very reasonable, too.
I just finished getting a tattoo done by Madison. He is EXTREMELY professional and has some of the best line work I have ever seen. If you are looking for a clean, safe and professional shop.. look no further. Peace of Art Tattoo shop is hands down the best shop around and Madison is by far the most talented artist in the south suburbs.
Rich is the best, been getting ink from him for years. This place is spotlessly clean, everyone is professional.
Seth did my tattoo last week, and I completely love it. It’s what I was looking for. He didn’t make me feel uncomfortable and was super friendly throughout the process.
Claire is absolutely amazing. I had a very special piece I wanted done and she took it on as if it was her own, making sure everything was perfect. She really cares about her clients and her work. The shop itself is so comfortable & welcoming. There is definitely a Peace about it all. Thank you!!
Roba was awesome. Incredible artist, and super nice. Made the process super easy and relaxing.
Such a great experience! Came with my siblings, this being my brother and I’s second time, and Rich and his staff is so accommodating and skilled. Really know what they are doing, and tattoos came out great! 10/10 recommend.
Very clean and friendly they have been at this location for 5 years. The owner has been in the tattoo business for 28 years. Modern and personable Im going for a cover-up tattoo the day after Thanksgiving. Will post pics afterwards 👍
Rich is my go to guy. Reasonably priced, down to earth and an amazing artist. He did a 3 quarter sleeve on me almost a year and a half ago and it still looks fresh! His shop is very comfortable and calming. Look his shop up on Facebook as well if youd like to see his other work. Im not sure why there isnt a million reviews on here lol
Wanted to get a tat done in honor of my son. Saw many other customers reviews and thought Id give them a try. Rich was great. Communication excellent, pricing was very reasonable, clean establishment. And got me done in no time. I highly recommend them.
I got exactly what I asked for. No shading or extra flare was done. Amateur work. I would recommend going elsewhere for lager/detailed pieces.Yes I got exactly what the picture showed. But how come when I went to 9 mag after you guys I got a picture of what I wanted plus shading and darker looking ink ?? Needless to say one of your artist only been tattooing skin for 7 months. Which is an amateur . I was just being honest.
I recently got my wedding ring tattooed at Peace of Art. After visting a couple other local shops I felt like the artists were very rude and didnt take the time to help me with what I wanted. I then came to Peace of Art and talked to Madison. He was very helpful and offered a couple different options for the style of tattoo I was looking for. For my first tattoo the process was quick and the finished product was exactly what I had envisioned. I highly recommend Peace of Art Tattoo for your first or next tattoos.
I havent gotten a tattoo in almost 15 years. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Rich is the very best. Nicest guy. So very pleased with the ink. Couldnt have had a better experience.
I went there for my very first tattoo and seen Claire. Im a huge baby and she made me feel so comfortable! I watched her take out a new needle and dispose of it after she was done. The place and stations were all very clean and everyone was so friendly ! I will difintly be back bc I think I am now addicted . Let her draw you up something..... you will not be disappointed!
I had a pesky old tattoo I wanted to cover up and Claire did an excellant job on it! Just gave her a couple things I wanted incorporated into it and let her creativity take over and I was not let down! Ill be back to visit for a couple more pieces i want done. Glad i went to Peace of Art tattoo! Thank you Claire!
Have gotten six tattoos from him along with my wife getting a additional seven including one cover up. Great prices to go along with a exceptional artist. Will keep going back to him as long as he is there.
Rich took a couple of pictures of what I wanted and combined into exactly what I asked for. Reasonable prices-clean-less of a hassle than going into Chicago. Definitely 5 stars. Quick to heal, no issues. Love it
Rich did an amazing job with the tattoos that my friends and I got! I will definitely be back.
Roba was awesome!! He got all 3 of us in the same day and did amazing jobs!! Will absolutely be coming back to him for more work!
I got my first tattoo from Rich and I would highly recommend getting a tattoo here! Very friendly and helpful more importantly it is very clean!
Had an amazing experience with Rich today. Did an awesome job on my tattoo today and would definitely not go any where else. So happy with his work of art..
Rich Kocis is a talented artist. He is kind and caring and puts his clients at ease. Peace of Art is clean, bright and inviting. I highly recommend this establishment.
Ive been going to Rich for years, by far the best artist Ive been to. Clean, honest, amazingly talented. If you are looking for a tattoo, he is the person to see.
This was my first tattoo and the this was Thee best experience ever!! Rich was very patient and calming! I will be coming here for ALL my future tattoos, they rock!!
My first time there, and my tattoo artist was Madison. He tattooed me and my daughter, we both got hand tattoos. He was professional and a great tattoo artist. We will be going back to get more tattoos.
Amazing work. I recently went in for an inner forearm tattoo, and I was not disappointed. Claire did an amazing job and I highly recommend going here for your next tattoo

WARNING DO NOT ASK THE GIRL TO DO YOUR TATTOO! I GOT CELLULITIS FROM HER DOING MY TATTOO! I ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK AMD SHE REFUSED IT AND TRY TO BLAME ME. THIS WAS MY SEVENTH TATTOO. I KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF MY TATTOOS. I WENT TO URGENT CARE, ER HOSPITAL AND PRIMARY DOCTOR ALL SAID IT WAS FROM THE NEEDLE. IF U WANT HER TO DO YOUR TATTOO. GOOD LUCK! I HAVE BEEN TROUGH SO MUCH PAIN. MY TATTOO IS DESTROYED, MY CALF AND MY ANKLE SWELLED UP THREE TIMES AND THIS IS AN EXTREMELY BAD SKIN INFECTION. I AM GIVING ALL A WARNING. I HAVE PROOF IF U DONT BELIEVE ME
