What I initial rating a 5 star review has turned south. Two months into healing and tedious aftercare, I’ve now spent $250 in doctor bills, prescriptions, and another piece of jewelry/install as I was improperly pierced here. That doesn’t include the initial cost of the piercing at Insight.
I had such a great experience with the kind people here, but DO NOT let them pierce you with a hoop for your first piercing. The studio I followed up with gave me more instruction and education in 10 min than I received in the hour I was here having this done initially. For reference, I did not have my piercing reevaluated in Chicago.

Went in simply to get some new body jewelry and was treated like an old friend. The owner Bob personally took care of me and made me feel right at home. He even took me in the back and put the rings in for me. Awesome guy, nice shop, will def be back.

Came in to purchase 16g 100% titanium threadless jewelry. Also to possibly get a piercing.
They don't seem to sell Neometal brand jewelry. I was desperate to get my jewelry changed, so I took what I could find. Definitely didn't regret it. The piercer took me into a spacious private room to change my jewelry. My cartilage piercing was healed into a curved shape. He was able to use a taper to get it into a straight barbell. There was absolutely no pain at all! I have had pain every time when changing my jewelry (international threaded). He seemed professional and nice. He seemed to care about my opinion, and was also very knowledgeable. He gave me quick answers when I asked questions. I love the style of this shop. I LOVE cats!
The cons of this shop is the music being extreamly loud. Loud music overstimulates me. It was difficult to talk with the front desk person with such loud music. The price of the jewelry was decent compared to other shops in Chicago. They sold basic titanium threadless jewelry for $40. Another shop I was at earlier that day sold basic neometal titanium jewelry for $60. If you are looking for jewelry and don't need it immediately, I suggest getting jewelry online from a site like bodyartforms. I wanted a vertical labret piercing, but the cost of that and the basic jewelry would be $90. It would have been nice to get a discount on jewelry if I'm getting a piercing. The location of this shop is a bit uncomfortable. The roads and sidewalks are all damaged, and there is a lot of traffic. The neighborhood doesn't feel too safe. I would recommend this place if you enjoy loud music, bright colors, and a friendly and knowledgeable person to change your jewelry.

I have been going to insight Studios for years now. Just got a peice done by David Sugihara at Insight and it was amazing. This is my favorite tattoo parlor in ALL of chicago and hands down always recommend my friends to go here. Even during a pandemic, the quality hasn't changed. Thank you!!!

I recently got my first tattoo here from artist Memo Espino. I am thrilled with my tattoo, and the entire experience was wonderful. The place was clean and professional with a fun and modern feel. I will definitely go back and recommend Insight and Memo wholeheartedly .

Insight Studios is amazing...I come all the way from Naperville to give them my business. As soon as you walk in the door your are greeted with a smile from a professional staff, and the place is clean and you can be at ease knowing the staff is not only a beast at there jobs but they share their knowledge and tips with you. I've had 8 piercings done here in the last 4 years and my experience has been great everytime. Bob and Santi are the bomb!!!

This establishment and its artists are incredibly professional and clean. Not only do they provide great work, they give back to the community, help out animals, and are located by some great places for grub. I drive all the way from southern Indiana to get work done there. And I will continue to do so.

I just got my first tattoo from Kyle at Insight Studios! The place was clean, gorgeous, and he went above and beyond what I had been expecting him to do.
My tattoo is of a dandelion on my foot and I was really nervous that the drawing he would do wouldn't be how I was picturing it in my head. It was better. I almost want his initials next to it now because it really does look like a piece of art right on my foot.
Thank you Insight and Kyle for a great experience! I HIGHLY recommend Insight to anyone interested in getting a tattoo!

Insight studios is amazing! The place is very clean and they make sure of that. The piercing, along with the jewelry, are excellent. I got a belly piercing and nose piercing by Bob Jones and he’s awesome! 100% recommend this place

Ryan has been my artist for years and I would highly recommend him to anyone but he hasn't always been at this shop too long . The shop is very clean and has good privacy to all the artists areas. Prices are very fair. It is easy to get to, parking can be a challenge.
