I walked in with 2 of my friends and the piercer was able to pierce all three of us with multiple piercings even with no appointment. They were very clear with explaining what they were doing and they took a long but good time to sterilize everything before use. It's been over a week for my piercings and everything already feels good with no complications whatsoever.

Went here last minute to get my nose pierced on both sides with my friend (also getting a nose piercing). They got us in quick, piercer was fast and professional. Only complaint I have is that the jewelry they used was cheap. Wasnβt made of nickel or any allergens of that sort, but the rhinestone in both of the studs fell out within 2 weeks. Have to wait at least 6 weeks to change the piercing (if youβre lucky) so Iβm stuck with these studs until then.

I got my ears pierced here with Patricio. Friendly dude who does body mods as well. About 5 days later my ears were swelling up a bit and Patricio actually invited me to come back so he can look at them. He was able to adjust them for the extra swelling and 2 days later all the swelling went away. Very helpful.And the shop is clean and has pretty chill music.

I went today to get a tattoo done by Diana Delgado and I enjoyed the experience and love my new tattoo piece. The place is nice and clean with great artwork on the walls. I almost kept falling asleep by the good jazz music and the vibration of the needle. Will be back for my other tattoo ideas. I definitely recommend this place

I came to have my childβs (9 years) ears pierced and I have to say the place is great! The piercer was amazing and very open with my daughter. I will be coming back to get myself taken care of and canβt wait! Thanks again for taking us as a walk in. We will be back for the changing of jewelry.

went to get my tragus pierced and the piercer dropped The jewelry into my ear, he could not get it out and pretty much made it my issue. I had to go to the emergency room to have them flush it out because it fell so deep in my ear and it was like he didnβt even care that he did it, and it couldβve hurt my eardrum.
The employee who did this was the piercer name, Jay

Orlando is a savage. I thought of what I wanted, explained it to him, the next day I came in to check out what he had come up with, and to my surprise, it was exactly what I wanted....only better. Orlando is the guy. I wanted a Al Capone clown face, but his face more realistic looking, with the fat lip and I wanted a gangster hat from the 20's with a little flower coming out and a fat cigar he would be smokin on. I'll let y'all see it for yourself, and you will see why to ask for Orlando. And if you see this review bro, thanks again....

This is one of the best shops in Chicago and certainly has some of the best tattoo artists in the city.
I worked with Quori, and his work (and character) is exceptional. We did a sleeve, so I was in there for numerous sessions. His custom design was amazing, and his tattoo execution outstanding. His work is beyond anything I could have imagined and professional.
I also got to see some of the tattoos done by other artists like Obet and Diana, and their work speaks for itself! Just great.
Even the piercing crew is lively, fun, and professional.
Absolutely recommend this place. good people, amazing work, and professional space.
If you are looking for black and grey artwork, Quori is your best avenue at Archerβs avenue shop!

Quori is amazing! He took his time and really explained the whole process and science behind the tattoo. Everyone was so kind. I will definitely be back!

Got my nose pierced here today, and can I just say this is the best piercing experience I have ever had in my life (and this is my 16th piercing)! JR did an absolutely phenomenal job, was very clear about every step of the process, had a wonderful selection of jewelry, extremely clean and careful, and was very particular about my nose piercing placement based on the kind of ring I was going for. He also gave me really good after care tips and helped me schedule out check ups for if Iβm interested in switching out my piercing. The whole team was very friendly but JR was truly a standout character! PERFECT level of professionalism. 12/10, would definitely go back again!!! Check it out for all of your piercing needs.
