Great Lakes Tattoo is the real deal. From start to finish with booking all the way to getting tattooed with one of their artists was a great experience. The staff is absolutely amazing to work with and their expertise is bar none. I had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Matt and he was spectacular and will be a repeat customer moving forward. Highly Recommend!

I had an appointment with Mike and came a bit earlier than the actual time, as it was pouring rain outside. I was taken care of nearly right away and got to see the design I wanted. It looked amazing! Then when proceeded to the tattooing process we had a pleasant conversation and the overall process seemed to take a few minutes. The studio looks so great inside and is filled with nice, warm and welcoming people who have great talent and are passionate about their art. The tattoo I got is so beautiful and I still can’t get over it. If you are still wondering if you should come and get yourself a tattoo, this is your sign to book up or walk in and do it.

Tattooed by Nick. He’s an awesome guy, quick, professional, and responsive. The shop itself is clean, their COVID protocols are sharp, and the environment is really nice. Get tattooed here!

Erik was an excellent artist and made some adjustments to my design to make it even better. Very clean and a relaxing and comfortable experience.

Such a great experience! Got my tattoo by Brandon, he is very light-handed and great at what he does. His tattoos are definitely made to last! Btw- after you get tattooed, go to twisted spoke for free drinks!

Great Lakes is hands down the best Traditional shop in the city (possible the whole Midwest). I have gotten tattooed by multiple artists at this shop and each time is great experience. Clean, timely, polite and everything else you could ask for in a tattoo shop. Will continue to support this business and their artists for years to come

Great Lakes Tattoo is fantastic. This was my first tattoo and I was a little nervous. They were so great communicating with me before my appointment making sure we both were on the same page with what I wanted. Nick was so nice, calm and chill. He made me feel super comfortable and is crazy talented! I found out a friend had some work done with Nick as well and she loves everything he did!
I love the outcome of my tattoo as it is a representation of my mom and dad and super special...I've had a ton of compliments on it as well!
This place it the best- thanks Nick!

Nicest tattoo shop I've ever been to. Great staff and all the artists are top notch. You don't feel pressured or doubtful about the work you get done. Highly recommend. I went with Mario and will be going with him in the future. Very happy customer.
