Starved Rock Tattoo Company

I treated my sister to a tattoo of our Maiden name in our dad’s handwriting (not an easy one as his writing is terrible).We had such a wonderful experience for your first visit!!Bre and Morgan were kind, professional, and exceptional with both of our fine line signature tattoos!The establishment was clean and inviting.Reviews to follow 😊

Ive been going to Bre for my piercings since they were at a different shop, and she has always delivered! I started going to her for my tattoos last year as well, and Ive got no complaints :) Recently got a tattoo by Paola as well and its absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is very chill and fun, and everyone there is very welcoming.

Went for a nose piercing and Kallie who was doing my piercing was awesome. She explained everything that she was going to do, showed me the instruments as well as the aftercare. As she was piercing she always asked me how I was doing. Couldnt ask for a better experience or a more caring person.

Bre is absolutely the coolest, nicest, friendliest, most vibe matching person Ive ever had the pleasure to know and be tattooed by. everyone else in the shop is absolutely amazing as well, super friendly and funny. love all of you!!!!

Absolutely beautiful tattoo done by Bre! Clean shop, friendly workers, cool owner. Definitely coming back here for any tattoos Im looking to get done.

Everyone was super nice!! I had Morgan Z who did an amazing butterfly with a scull in it. She did such and amazing job I would definitely recommend her!!!

Simply put, this shop is amazing! Super friendly and comfortable. Paola is AMAZING!! She is truly an artist. So humble and kind, beyond easy to work with. She has done 4 tattoos for me now, all have healed beautifully and are some of my favorites. I will definitely be back!!

A while back I messaged this company about getting my septum pierced, the environment is nice and welcoming but I don’t believe that this company has the best piercers. My septum was not only pierced incorrectly it was at an angle and in my cartilage. Which if anyone knows, that’s a big no no. The owner didn’t use clamps to stabilize the nose and just poked the needle through. He placed a blue dot on one side as a guide and completely missed the dot. I consulted many piercers about this and each one told me that this company doesn’t know what they are doing when it comes to septum’s. I reached out to a very well known piercer in Chicago who is good friends with one of my friends and said that this place shouldn’t be aloud to pierce. When I asked about getting my septum removed, because of it being crooked, the owner told me it was because my nostrils were uneven. He never said anything about refunding just said schedule her in a few weeks and I’ll do it again. I also have had a friend go to this place for her navel. The person who pierced her gave her a surface piercing. The bar wasn’t anywhere inside her belly button it was sitting above her belly button. This caused her pain and a bad infection. Again the owner didn’t give her a refund and argued that it was fine. Anyone with eyes could see this was in fact not fine. I don’t believe this place is truly trained properly on specific areas. The owner isn’t willing to accept that he or the place made the mistake on the piercing. So I won’t be going here again. I think if you want a simple ear piercing that you would most likely be okay but I don’t trust this place to pierce any other part of the body.

I came here for the first time and was hella late! they still accepted me and was the best experience i’ve had at a tattoo shop by far. Morgan and Paul tattooed me and my bf and both turned out so amazing! Definitely going back

I got my second tattoo over 14 years ago by the owner Paul, and it still looks amazing. The artist was extremely helpful and made me feel right at home. I live in a different state, but absolutely plan on making the 8 hour drive to get my next tattoo at Starved Rock Tattoo Company. The staff has been nothing but respectful and pleasant.

I had a tattoo that I got done quite a bit ago. Several years before I found these artist. I wanted to get touch-ups on a small Little sentimental piece. The service was amazing. Everyone in the shop is friendly as can be. A very welcoming space. The artist here are great. Will be coming here for future pieces.

Got a Tattoo a couple months back by Paul ......absolutely amazing job very talented very professional, all around great experience. Highly recommend

My daughter got 2 different piercings done by the owner. Very friendly, professional, welcoming and did everything he could to make her feel comfortable. We were very happy with his work.

I have had Pauly G do a two different pieces and a piercing I have had the best experience. Felt extremely comfortable and at ease during the 9 hours I sat between the two sessions. Will go back and will send every one I know.

Love this shop and my artist Morgan. She did amazing work on my pieces. She is easy to talk to and understands what the client wants. I am already planning on being back after the first of the year!

Got my 60th tattoo here, the 59 previous ones were also done here. Absolutely superb service I would recommend to anyone. One of the girls that works here let me rent her lamborghini when my car broke down, also helped pay for my great grandmother funeral services. Cannot thank the staff enough for their compassion and will never go to another tattoo shop again in my life.

I had my industrial, along with my nose pierced and a tattoo done by the owner. This is a family run shop, I’ve known them for many, many years- they treat everyone like family! Their level of professionalism makes them stand out. You could for sure go “anywhere” and get a body modification service, but being able to feel like you’re part of the family from the beginning to end, is what makes them unique and why I’ll never go anywhere else.

Loved getting my tattoo here! Si was amazing, gentle, and super communicative through the whole process. The shop was clean, professional and friendly. Cant wait to go back!

From the moment I came in, it felt like I was where I was supposed to be. Everyone was polite, inviting, and friendly. I got my first tattoo here from Sierra and it definitely won’t be my last. I’ll be coming back for every other tattoo from now on.

Though I do not know the staff personally, they were all well spoken of by someone I care about quite deeply. And as someone who is the need of some tattoos, I hope to make my way there, where they can honor me with their time, professionalism and expertise.

I’ve had 3 piercings from Bre and 3 tattoos between Bre and Paul done and will be going for a 4th tattoo soon. The bad reviews here are absolute nonsense- if any of them were “rude” you probably acted in a way to deserve it! My husband and I only trust y’all with our tattoos. ✌️

I’m a artist at this shop. I’ve had many jobs in many cities and I can personally say the staff and management here is amongst the kindest, most professional, and overall most enjoyable bunch of people. Much love hope to see whoever is reading this soon. :)

A great shop with an excellent staff! All the girls and the owners alike do immaculate work and handle themselves with the up most professionalism. I would highly recommend taking your business here!

If you haven’t been to Starved Rock Tattoo Company LLC, you NEED to! after getting crooked and improperly place piercings in the past, it’s such a relief to have an artist i can trust to get the job done and do it right! beautiful, professional, clean work as always by, Kelsey. thank you a million times over !! (belly and bridge)

The BEST experience i have had with getting a tattoo. The lady Sierra was the best will be coming back and getting more tattoos. Would recommend to anyone looking to get a tattoo done.

Great place had Bre do a tattoo on my wife and she was amazing

I got my 58th tattoo here and might I just say is the best one I’ve ever gotten. The service here is fantastic i am so thankful I manifested the best tattoo parlor and I found it. Get your tattoos here YALL. Mind blown 🤯

As someone with over 20 hours of work, I can not recommend this place enough. Such talented artists and precious owners. Highly recommend booking with Si!!!!
