From the business
"Speakeasy is owned by Patrick Cornolo and is the home to world renowned/International artists each dedicated to giving you the best service and tattoo available. We are not your average tattoo shop…Speakeasy is an Appointment Only custom tattoo shop, designed not only to be a highly functional, clean work environment, but also to have a very comfortable, relaxed atmosphere that puts both the Artists and Clients at ease. We want your experience to be as memorable as the piece of art you leave with. All of our artists do their own appointments and most have a wait to get in so please be patient with wait and response times. If you want to rush in to a tattoo, this may not be the shop for you. We do mainly larger custom tattoos at Speakeasy."

My experience with Brigitta was great. She was very professional and made sure that I was very comfortable while getting tatted. I will definitely be booking more appointments with her in the near future because her work is awesome as well.
Stephanie Larson
Great experience. Very friendly environment with a cool eclectic atmosphere. My artist Zen was just fantastic. Beautiful line work and vibrant color. He was very funny and easy to talk to. Hit him up for beautiful Japanese style tattoos

Could not have been happier with my experience. Right away, the staff there made me feel welcome and relaxed for what would be my first tattoo. Colin O'Keefe was my artist and had a great time with him. From helping me with my design to being in the chair, Colin was a pro. Definitely coming back for more in the future.

David Mendieta is amazing, it’s a shame to see him leave. But the shop is dope and the interior is off the chain, on top of being a super cool location I gotta say it’s a great place to get a kick a$$ tattoo

Visited yesterday afternoon, buddy did an incredible job with this LoTR themed tattoo on my calf. They were very safe with the current pandemic and the rest of the staff were gracious as well. Can't wait to get more work done there!

Awesome place! Professional, Clean, relaxed, and comfortable. From initial emails thru the completion of my design my experience was awesome. Mike Dubois did an amazing job on a portrait for me and I am very grateful to found this place. It is very clear each artist there is passionate and skilled about their craft.

Began speaking with Colin through email and he was very responsive. We set an appointment afterwards. Upon arriving he was ready waiting for me. The lady who took my info was very nice too, even offered me a drink. I'm not good with pain and had to stop a couple times. Colin pulled out a small table for me to lay down to make it easier on me. Very professional setting, very cool decor, very clean. Would recommend this place and Colin. Only downside is parking, it's wicker Park so not much to do about that, just get there early
Got a very neat "sketch" style Chicago flag

I was here many years ago when Linnea was still tattooing here. Now I've come back to work on a sleeve project with Gady and I couldn't be happier. Gady is a lovely person and I can't wait to work with him more. Fantastic place with fantastic, incredibly talented people. Clean, welcoming, chill vibe. 12/10 would recommend!

Emailed Heath about a week ago after seeing his work and asked him about setting something up for the upcoming few weeks. He asked me to come in to the store (which is in a very quaint little walkup) and was immediately relieved to see the cleanliness of the store. Everything was very clean and sanitary, there were a few people lounging around, someone actually getting a tattoo (not one scream was heard), and a few artists drawing up designs. The setup is akin to a parlor in that everything is in the open (unless you need a private room) and all the surfaces are regularly cleaned. There is a big couch on which the accompanying people can wait or they can stand with the person getting the tattoo. All equipment is modern and the whole place put my mind at ease with trusting a shop for my first tattoo. Will definitely be coming back to Heath and the experts at Speakeasy for the first, the second, and many more to come.

Clean, friendly and open with minimal black metal or trap music blasting. The artists take their time to discuss your idea and help you arrive at a quality tattoo. There's no flash art for you to choose from. You're going to have to come in, meet an artist, talk about your idea and then make an appointment to come back. This is not a shop you can stumble into and ask for a butterfly on your bootycheek (looking at you, Earl), you're going to need to put some effort in.
Overall, I plan on getting all my work done here and my wife has also had quite a bit of work done here. If Patrick or Sean are available, talk to them! They are crazy talented and extraordinarily pleasant to be around.
