I wanted a very simple, fine line, outline of my cat. Zeus did an AMAZING job! Even though the design was simplistic in nature, he was still able to capture her likeness and personality perfectly. Fine line tattoos leave zero room for error and he absolutely nailed it! I just left a few hours ago and I’m already ready for him to do a second fine line of my dog. I would hurry and book before word gets out about how amazing his fine line work is!
I contacted Joey for help with getting my first tattoo. He was very helpful with scheduling and explaining the entire tattoo process. The piece turned out better than I ever expected. I would highly recommend Joey and the whole team to anyone.
I had Zeus Acosta do a cover up on my wrist. I can not tell you enough about this guy or this shop. Zeus did such a beautiful piece of art which I am so proud to show off. My husband had Melesio do two pieces on his hands and he loves them. They look beautiful These two guys are excellent in detail. We are definitely going back. I have a few others I would like to get. Zeus, I wasnt BS well be back. :) Thanks for the beautiful work
I’ve been talking about getting this specific tattoo for 4 years and have been actively stalking Famous Street South Elgin for just as long. After contacting Joey Sherman about it, he referred me to Zeus, who was able to fit me in quickly before I chickened out and changed my mind.Zeus is fantastically talented and has a calming presence. He was really able to capture my ideas, put it on paper, and add details I didn’t even think about. It was my first tattoo, so obviously I was nervous, but Zeus made me feel comfortable and welcomed. His attention to detail, shading, and line work is…*chefs kiss*The location is easy to get to, super clean, welcoming, and fun to be in. The man managing the front desk (I’m sorry I forgot his name😩) was easy to work with and communicate with. Best experience I could have asked for.
I recently got a new tattoo done by Joey, and I couldnt be happier with the results! He is not only an incredibly talented artist but also a true professional. From start to finish, my experience was fantastic.Joey took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and made some great suggestions to enhance the design. The attention to detail and precision in his work truly impressed me. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the process and answered all my questions, which put me at ease.The studio itself had a clean and welcoming atmosphere, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Joeys professionalism and passion for his craft were evident in every aspect of my tattoo session.Im thrilled with how my tattoo turned out; it exceeded my expectations! I cant thank Joey enough for his outstanding work. If youre looking for a talented and professional tattoo artist, I highly recommend Joey. Thanks again for the fantastic tattoo, Joey! Ill definitely be back for more ink in the future.
Alex does a fantastic job every time! Hes done about five tattoos on me over the years, (he did the lady on my arm & vase on my forearm) all happen to be my favorite tattoos on my body! He’s so talented & clearly passionate. The shop is very clean, I always know I’m in good hands when I stop by :)
My siblings and I walked in today for our first tattoos ever. Kiddo was amazing! He was kind, fun to talk to, inviting, and just made the whole experience so fun. The location in in south Elgin was nice! We will be back! Thank you Kiddo!
Not only is Kiddo a “GREAT “ tattoo artist, he’s professional, personable & knowledgeable! I highly recommend him! He exceeded my expectations!
I was able to send them a picture and they gave me a quote. I had Zeus. He was very detailed and helpful. He did a great job. I will definitely go to him for future tattoo.
Zeus did an amazing job on my tattoo. He put in a lot of time and effort on it and it turned out so good. The whole shop was amazing and very clean. Would 100% recommend and I will absolutely be going back for more.
Blessed to have found this place!!! Lobo is a stud and does amazing work!!!
I went for my 18th bday and was honestly the amazing experience ive had. I felt very comfortable and at peace knowing i was getting my first tattoo. Zeus did an amazing job and im hoping to come back for more :)
Clean, Friendly & welcoming environment.I highly recommend the Artists here. All have a profile that is able to fulfill your dream Art piece. Portraits, Colors, realism, new school, etc. They are able to do it all. I recently received a Butterfly in white ink by Kiddo
Loved getting tatted by zeus!! it was my first tattoo and it was a great experience and my tattoo looks exactly like i wanted it to! he made sure i was feeling good and knew what i wanted ! will for sure come back
So Ive been going to Joey sherman whom is the owner of the shop for a while now and Ive got some of my most epic tattoo designs because of him. The G.O.A.T , wont be disappointed if you sit down with him or any of the guys in his shop. He surrounds himself with the best, and thats what he will give you hands down. Give all my respect and peace to FAMOUS STREET TATTOO SHOP.
Zeus did such a great job on my tattoo! He matched exactly what I had in mind, and made me feel very comfortable as this was my first tattoo. I’m super happy with the way that it turned out, and definitely would go back, overall a really great experience!
I LOVE THIS PLACE! I 100% recommend coming here. I’ve been coming here for 2 years now. All the artists are incredibly talented and so friendly, they really make you feel at home.Zeus has done my last 4 recent tats and I’m in love with all of them! His line work is SO clean and he is so kind. He constantly makes sure you’re doing okay and you’re as comfortable as possible. He’s really good at understanding what you looking to get and helps you piece it all together.
Zeus did my latest work, its a beautiful piece! He gave me a couple different design options to choose from that was amazing. Its beautiful, healed up real nice! Will definitely be booking with Zeus for another piece!
Zeus was amazing to work with! He created a beautiful piece for my wrist, he was professional, very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. The shop was clean and the atmosphere was fun! 10/10 recommend and I will definitely be coming back.
Zeus gave me my first tattoo and I couldn’t be happier! He worked to come up with the perfect design because the one I brought him wasn’t quite right! He is calm and knowledgeable! I appreciated his honesty with the placement of my tattoo as well. I trusted him and I highly recommend him! I will be back for #2 for sure!
My husband and I booked our tattoos with Jared and Zeus. Our original time didn’t work out as planned so they both came in early to work on us which was so helpful and appreciated.Zeus worked on my idea and helped me out with the best placement, my tattoo came out so beautiful! His line work was amazing and it turned out better than I even imagined. Easily the best work I’ve had done. We will definitely be returning to this shop for the rest of our tattoos
Famous Street Tattoo is the perfect location for anyone looking for a top-notch tattoo parlor! My anxiety about getting my first tattoo was greatly reduced by how clean everything was and how friendly everyone made me feel. Zeus, my tattoo artist, did a fantastic job. I appreciate that when I questioned him, he understood the answers and didnt become irritated and remained patient with me.He made jokes with me the entire time, which was incredibly helpful to me. I had a wonderful experience, and Im thrilled that Zeus is now officially my tattoo artist! Without a doubt, Ill return for any additional tattoos.
Went in with my sisters for our first tattoos, and Zeus did an amazing job. He explained the process really well, and joked around with us to put us all at ease. It was a great experience, and I will go back for anything in the future. Also, really cool that he offers free touch ups on his work.
I got my first tattoo with artist Zeus Acosta, and he did an amazing job. He made sure i was comfortable the entire time, and let me know he does free touch ups with his work which is awesome. He also tatted my friend as well, and she loved the tattoo! I will definitely be coming back to him in the future.
My sisters and I lost a close family friend and wanted to get a tribute tattoo for him. We tried one shop that said they were open but upon arrival, there were no tattoo artists available. We called Famous Street Tattoo and they told us to come on down. All the guys at the shop were super friendly and welcoming. Lobo, our artist, talked us through our nerves and was clean, quick and professional. We loved our experience and would come back for future tats. Thank you for getting us in guys!
I came in today for a walk in and got a tattoo by Zeus. He was very professional and was able to get me in right away. He did a phenomenal job creating the vision I had for my tattoo. He did great with the black shadework I wanted. I highly recommend him and his work! Will definitely go back in the future. If youre looking for a great tattoo go there and ask for him!
First of all the shop and the equipments were ultra clean. Also my tattoo was made by Kiddo. He said me that after 2-3 weeks your tattoo might have some gaps because of scabs. Come here and I will fix them. After a few weeks I went and he worked without any grumbling. Now I am totally happy with the work and with my tattoo. No displeasure, no discontent, no regret.
These guys were awesome!!! My son and nephew got tattoos for their 18th bdays and had a great experience. Zeus was so efficient and made sure the boys got exactly what they wanted. The owner and other artists working were very friendly and accommodating while we waited. The shop was super clean and inviting. We will be back!!
Amazing tattoo place to check out if you really want the best experience and designs. These guys know what their clients look for and make sure to double check everything. Zeus did an awesome job with my first tattoo and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole process! I will be coming back here again soon.
I had Zeus Acosta take care of my first tattoo which was an emoji and the experience was great! Zeus made me feel comfortable at all times and gave me all the information to properly take care of my tattoo! 10/10 highly recommend and will be coming back for a second one.
I worked with Alex recently for my first tattoo and it turned out perfect! He made the whole experience better than I could’ve hoped for. I was a bit anxious but he put me at ease and was great to talk and collaborate with throughout! Jake too! Excellent line work with the script I chose and it has healed nicely now! The shop was clean and inviting and I highly recommend it! Will definitely go back in the future if I get another tattoo.
I cannot say enough about this place. Definitely deserves more then 5 stars. I had Zeus. He is the nicest, friendliest guy and makes you feel like you’ve known him forever. Everyone working there was also extremely personal. Just an all around great experience. Highly recommend Famous Street
Kiddo did an amazing job! He was so down to Earth and had great conversations with him. His work is outstanding. I walked away extremely happy and in love with my new tattoo. He always worked with me and understood when I needed breaks due to my ADHD and all. very patient and works quickly.
Jesus was awesome! He drew a beautiful design, and it was exactly what I wanted. He kept me calm when I was nervous beforehand and had every tattoo artist in the store look at the stencil he placed before he tattooed it on me to make sure it was perfect. Overall the shop is very professional, and I would come back here in the future for sure.
Shop was clean, friendly, and professional. Me and my best friend came as a walk-in and immediately felt welcome! Zeus did our tattoos and they turned out just how we wanted them. I would definitely come back!
Fantastic tattoo shop! Kiddo is hands down an amazing artist with so much talent. Very personable and always makes the experience awesome. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I was referred to Zeus by my girlfriend. He did a tattoo for her which she absolutely loved. I went in today and he did two tattoos for me. Theyre the best tattoos I have. Ive been to many other places and Ive learned that you get what you pay for, that being said some places over charge and do poor quality work. Thats not the case with Famous Street and not the case with Zeus. I couldnt be happier with the work he did and I will definitely be going back to him for ALL my future ink work. In 20+ years I have found no one better.- Matt
I am very happy to have had my first tattoo done by Zeus! He was very gentle when he did my tattoo so it did not hurt at all. I am so happy with the result and recommend getting your tattoo done by Zeus!!
Great staff! Super friendly and knowledgeable. The shop is super clean and organized. We were so lucky Jared accommodated us for a last minute Tat. We called for an appointment and he came in early! Fair pricing and I’m sure I’ll be back to see Jared, his work was great! I know it was a simple tattoo but it looks great, exactly what I asked.
Saw Jake today for a walk-in. I’m really happy with my tattoo. The guys that were in the studio today were fun and made the experience a 10/10. Will definitely be going back when I decide to start my sleeve. Prices are good and the place is clean. Highly recommend!
This was my first time ever visiting this shop. I came in as a walk in, the experience was incredibly professional, kind, patient, and I was paired with JakeHe is the one in charge of the walk in. He was extremely professional, kind, and honest about what is the best for not just your experience but the longevity of what youre getting. I was incredibly lucky to be able to come and get 3 minimalist tattoos done by 2 hours. I would highly recommend and I plan to come back again. Thank you so much Famous Street Tattoo for an unforgettable experience :)
Great experience with Joey, a very experienced artist. He does great work.
Had an awesome experience at this shop getting my first tattoo. It was a pretty simple text one but I was taken care of so well and everything was explained and executed very well. Jared did an awesome job! I checked out their instagram and other work and it is very impressive. If I decide to get another one I know where Ill be going.
Famous Street Tattoo is 10/10 awesome! Not only did they make me feel comfortable, they offered stickers to cover myself during my tattoo sesh, and especially thank you Zeus Acosta for the incredible art work! I’m obsessed with my new tat❤️

Went in with an idea of what I wanted to start a sleeve with. Sitting with Joey and going over ideas and then him creating the concept and visualization for me was amazing. Can not say enough positive things about his level of artistry and hes truly a master of his craft. Blown away, and love these guys!!

These artists are fantastic! Great sense of humor, just the right amount of sarcasm, but most importantly very clean, courteous, and all around great group of guys. The artist I had was Joey, who never ceases to disappoint. Ill definitely be back for more.
Zues did great clean work on me tonight. Very technical and his skill and experience showed through during the process. Highly reccomend using him for your next piece.
This was my very first tattoo which was done by Zeus. This only took about 4.5 hours in one session. I would highly recommend going to this shop and asking for him, he’s professional and clearly knows what he’s doing. I will be returning for future tattoos!
Extremely down to earth artist, we were from out of town and wanted to get tattoos, So i looked around for places that take walk in.

Highly recommended, super chill people! Thank you so much for the new ink!
