Exodus Ink

Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Ive been going to Mike for my tattoos for a while now, and he is amazing!! Would definitely recommend you come here for your next tattoo!! Ive already recommended a few people, and they also loved his work!

Wally was my artist. He was very helpful and professional. Being my first tattoo, he was very patient and cooperative. Also very generous and considerate with prices. Would highly recommend this place and artist to first time and veteran tattoo seekers

I got a tattoo done by Abby. It was my first one and I had such an incredible experience. She made me comfortable every step of the way and did exactly what I asked for. I even got scars covered and she covered them perfectly. I strongly recommend Abby and all of the tattoo and piercing artists here! Thanks :)

I love love love this shop! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I’ve gotten a few piercings here but most recently my first tattoo from Mike and my vertical labret from Freddie

I have gotten most of my pieces from jocelyn and i’m so in love with each piece. she’s very nice and very talented. patient with placement and also knows what she’s doing!! she did both the spider ana’s the centipede on me! love them

I took my 7, 12, and 13 year olds to get their ears pierced by Freddie. He was extremely patient and kind with them, the shop was very clean, and it was a very low drama, low pain process for them. No one shed a single tear and they were so proud of themselves and delighted to finally have earrings.

Awesome artists working here! 10/10 would recommend. Ask for Donna, shes amazing!Tip: bring cash as they are cash only.

Called if they had time for a walk in for a conch piercing and they did. Met Freddie who is an awesome and friendly piercer. He also had no problem checking on another piercing I got from another place and gave me the right steps into healing it.

Some of the most friendly and welcoming staff you will ever meet! I’ve had 4 tattoos and two piercings done. It’s always my go to recommendation for those interested in tattoos or piercings! They’re also very clean and sanitary!

I loved the experience of my first tattoos, I really liked the place I loved the vibe, the artists they’re the best! Especially Abby she was so nice; and always making sure that I was comfortable.

Becca was my artist and Im floored at how great she is. She is super professional and personal.

Made my daughter pay for her tattoo before she even received it. In 20 years of getting tattoos, Ive never been asked to pay up front. This is the kind of treatment people with preconceived notions give to those they deem less than. If it wasnt my daughters birthday weekend, Id have canceled the appointment and told her to pick ANYWHERE BUT HERE.Oh, and they dont take credit cards.p.s. I wouldnt trip but theres no signs posted declaring that all services are to be paid beforehand. If they have a sign up after you read this, its because I told my daughter to go outside while I read them the riot act. And no, they couldnt show me a sign stating you had to pay in advance. All they showed me was a sign that said please pay with cash.AVOID THIS ESTABLISHMENT.p.p.s. Owner says this policy is old. Ok. Id say that to if I was the owner. But if I was the owner, Id post a sign that made that policy clear. IF such a policy existed....

I personally love the place. Ive gotten three tattoos done there by Wally. Very good guy. Good personality and friendly to be around and makes the experience great and comfortable for you whether its your first time or fifth time. He makes sure your happy with the product and product placement before starting he makes sure all supplies being used are brand new and is always careful not to cross contaminate items and always makes sure the finished product is perfect and to your standards before leaving and carefully explains care procedures and what to use on it. Will keep coming back for the remainder of my sleeves.

Excellent experience. Abby did my tattoo and she was very professional. The shop was clean and the staff was very welcoming. I highly recommend this shop!

Been there around a dozen times both Mike and Wally have done my ink, quality work, reasonable rates, highly recommend

Ive been here a few times for my piercings. I’ve never had a bad experience here and the piercer Freddy is super laid back and very kind! Definitely recommend! 😁

I came in a few months ago with only the subject in mind for what I wanted to get done for a tattoo. The owner came to assist Jocelyn, who was my artist, for suggestions that would make the piece fit best. They want you to leave happily with your new piece of work 😊 Reasonable price as well.

I frequented Exodus Ink in the past for some piercing work with Freddie, which made me want to come back for some tattoo work. I am extremely happy and satisfied with Exodus Ink. Evelyn handled the business promptly and efficiently and Mike tattooed me. He was very skilled, professional, and efficient in the tattoo session. A very talented musician and tattoo artist I would recommend to anyone!

One of the best shops Ive been to! Its family owned and everyone is super welcoming. Right away someone is upfront to help you out with either a tattoo or piercing. The artists are super open minded and friendly. I got my septum pierced there not too long ago and the piercer did an excellent job. He was nice and was able to get the job done fast and painless. Definitely recommend this shop to anyone whos looking for a welcoming and friendly atmosphere!

GO HERE!! I had my 4 hour custom tattoo done but Jesse. Shes very cool super open minded. Has great attention to detail. Mike is very welcoming. Everyone there is cool its a very comfortable welcoming environment. Prices are fair. I am definitely going back for future tattoos. And highly recommend this place!!!

This small shop has a relaxed bright family vibe. The artists are professional and skilled. I love my bird tattoo!

I hate to say this but I hope the tattoo artist here post more pictures to show there quality work as you decide who you want to tattoo your body a beautiful art piece that will last for the rest of your life I can say that this shop is super and above professional. But no disrespect to the artist here is the owner he runs a tattoo school aswell his skills are unmatched in chicago and his waitlist is retarded but understandable once you see his work I dont mind paying thousands of dollars for this mans work as his art and tattooing skills beats those of tv and anything you could ever imagine walk in and ask to see his work it will blow your mind best tattoo artist in chicago. Your lucky if you get booked unde a year with this man!

The artist Luis was lazy and unreliable, cancelled several appointments in a row, and messed the tattoo up, looks like a kid scribbled down angel wings. Tried to cover it up with a thick line-work and messed it up even more

Absolutely DO NOT come here for piercings. I came here for 4 piercings and they were all pierced HORRIBLY. My septum was crooked, both of my double lobes were nowhere near symmetrical, and my helix was pierced at a weird angle. Save your money and go to the better places downtown.

Freddie did my septum and my nostril piercing and I am in love with both!! Xjavier did my first tattoo and he did an amazing job walking me through everything and making sure I was comfortable, will definitely go to him for my future tattoos

Everyone there was super nice. It was my first tattoo experience and it couldnt have gone any better. Jocelyns work is GORGEOUS and she was awesome to talk to.

Great place! First time getting a tattoo. I walked in and spoke with Alex. I told him what I wanted to get done and he was really cool about the whole process. The place looks cool nice and roomy. Everything looks clean as well. I had a great first time experience.

Exodus ink is a very very clean and friendly shop! Mike is an excellent tattoo artist! I had a tattoo done 4 years ago by Mike and it still looks like the day it was done and I just had him do another tattoo of footprints and it looks great!! Anyone wanting a tattoo check them out at Exodus Ink!!!

I went to exodus last Friday to get my first tattoo, a cobra logo, and although I was quoted a price by a former employee, they still honored it. I was being worked on my a new guy, Zack, and although he was obviously nervous. But he did such an awesome job, when I go for my next tattoo in about a month, Im asking for him. Great job Zack!

I have gotten 3 of my 6 tattoos done by Mike (Miguel ) very pleased, obviously or I wouldnt of went back. My husband also went there (different artist & his tattoo is Great too!) Prices were Very fair, friendly environment, friendly people, all around great experience :)

Excellent work. Wonderful customer service. I keep going back to get all of my work done! 5 stars Female artists. Hispanic owned. I cant say enough great things about this place! They just moved locations so go check them out!

Mike done my nose piercing and hes awesome! He did it quick, it only hurt for for 30 seconds or so and I was fine. Its been 3 hours now since then but I didnt feel any soreness or anything. I love it! Thank you Mike! 😍😍😍

Ive gotten tattoed and pierced here and its a clean shop and very uncluttered (they play great music too). As soon as you come in youre greated by someone asking you what youre looking for so they can find the best person suited for your request.Ive gotten pierced by Olivia and she is the best! Shes done 6 of my cartilage piercings and she was great everytime. She opens the piercing needle from its clean packaging right in front of you. Marks your piericing and makes sure you like how they look explains what youre going to feel and bam youre done.I got tattoed by Jesi and she did my upper forearm with one of her designs and I love it so much! If you can get one of her original designs tattoed you should feel honored, her designs are unique and beautiful. My tattoo has healed well and it looks great.

Freddie gives good piercings that are symmetrical, have not given my skin any irritations or issues, and it is not incredibly expensive. Peep the jesus portrait on the wall for some reason. Shop minimum is $80 for tattysGot a tatty by one of the young cute artists they did a p good job overall pretty satisfied.

Amazing! Family has been going there for all their tattoos and I recently went for one if my own and they were super nice. They walked me through everything and made sure I knew how the tattoo was going to go and what to do after. Perfect tattoo,family atmosphere, super nice staff. Will too again :)

The worst experience ever. If there was an option for zero stars I would pick that.Ive had my nose pierced two times, Ive gotten it done, kept it for a year or two, then for water reason, I have taken them out. Each of those times has been easy and fast, and virtually painless, but not in this place!the guy stabbed my nose downward so the nose ring didnt go through. It went downwards in between the skin of the nose. It hurt like hell! I didnt realize it, i just figured i was being sensitive, but NO! My nose was so bloody (I never bled that much over a nose ring) that I did not realize it, it did not go through! until this morning when the pain woke me up and I was washing the area with a little water. I am so mad that someone that is puncturing your body can be so incompetent, and realize that he did it wrong! Do not go to this place! Go to someone you know, I thought I nose ring was a simple thing, but an incompetent person can really mess u up. My nose is super swollen, it hurts, its looks terrible and I have a hole with no ring in my nose! And i paid for it!

Have gotten piercings here twice . Freddie is very professional and makes the process very fast . He fixed a piercing I got done at another shop and both piercings healed perfectly !

I loved my piercings at first. I got my tongue, snake bites and septum done. But they weren’t tightened enough and constantly got lost and fell off. I ended up swallowing my tongue piercing :(

Didnt shave the area the tat was done. Was in a hurry and kept having his wife come in and bother him and didnt feel like he was concentrating on the tat. Didnt explain healing process until i mentioned lotion and just didnt feel like a clean place. Will never go back. Worse experience ever. His name was mike also over priced for tat if i didnt want it done so bad i would have walked out.

Mike is very talented. Just had another one done here in January. Tattoos came out beautiful! Would definitely go back!

Mike did my first and second tattoo and I love them. Will be returning soon to get more.

Got my first tattoo with abby, they were amazing!! my tattoo came out so good

Friendly, warm atmosphere.Owner is the best!& amazing staff.Good vibes and great chill spot..Also join their Tatt2Church.Non judgmental.

I absolutely love this place and the staff, been going to Mike for many, many years and will never let anyone else tattoo me. I have 17 tattoos and counting!!!!

I got my nose pierced by Freddie. He was super gentle and quick! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Everyone was super nice Freddy was amazing he was super cool and did my Monroe piercing.

The piercer was such a nice dude and helped me and my boy with our nipple piercing. 100% recommend for piercings.

Jocelyn was great!!! Went there to kick off my vacation. Customer service was great. Was able to make an appointment right away.

Great at work, friendly staff, very clean and sterile. Love the artists, and love the work. Also offers class for tattoo artists and piercers.

Mike and his staff is very friendly and does awesome work this is the only place Ill go for a tattoo
