Art District Chicago Tattoo Studio

Got a tattoo with Blue today! Blue has great instincts, she helped guide me toward the tattoo design that was perfect for me. Last week I got a piercing (ears) with Izzy, who was patient and precise. Both experiences were wonderful - I look forward to going back.

I just got my first Tattoo today and I am very happy I chose to come here. Amber and Miranda made it a lot less nerve-racking and comfortable for my friends and I's tattoo experience. Their work is truly amazing and I will definitely be coming back in the near future. They also have a very cute dog named Bishop who was great company while being there.

I had a really good experience at ADC. I wanted a small tattoo and blue did such a great job. The place is really clean and super nice! Everyone is really friendly, professional and really welcoming. I’d definitely come again for my next tattoos! 💙

Nice work clean lines...and Miranda my artist snuck in a little touch of her own which I thought rocked. Yup. Fourhundred and twenty stars to the shop and this one. Thank you.coolio foolio

Great tattoo shop! I got a tattoo from Vanessa she was very nice clean and professional took care of me. all the girls there are really cool and fun to talk to. Such a positive vibe in there! they even have a friendly purple dragon named bishop roaming around! 11/10 definately going back there for any future pieces!

The ladies at this place are awesome! I called to see if they would take a walk-in but everyone was booked. After communicating with Amber that I’d really rather get work done sooner than later, she worked some magic. Miranda offered to come in on her day off and give me my favorite piece to date. She was extremely professional and fostered a really comfortable, clean environment. 10 out of 10 would recommend this place to anyone and everyone looking for a good quality, reasonably priced tattoo.

Lady executed my tattoo idea exactly how I imagined it in my head, down to the colors! Like it all blended so perfectly with skin as if it belonged there. I get a ton of compliments on my tattoo and have people taking pics of it cuz they want the same thing! I couldn’t be happier choosing Lady to do my tattoo as she is very professional, nice and gentle. I felt comfortable the whole time I was there. Definitely going back to finish my traditional Japanese sleeve tattoo with her. Don’t miss out on the best tattoo spot fr!

First of, I can’t believe I did not know about this gem! Came in to get a piercing and a tat. Izzy did my nose piercing, such amazing talent! Her hands were like butter, didn’t feel a thing and the I love the placement of my nose ring! She also did a second piercing for my niece and she was very happy with her piercing as well. I highly recommend you go check her out! AMBR,AMBER,AMBER, where has the world been hiding this incredibly gifted artist??? I am absolutely in love with her work. Her lines are absolutely flawless and her skills are insane! I will never, ever go anywhere else or let anyone else ever place another tattoo on me except for Amber! What true talent! Definitely best tattoo artist I have come across this far. I can’t wait to get a large piece with her!

The piercer Izzy is a wonderful person to work with and the same goes for the tattoo artist Miranda. Their work is very well done and I have no qualms with them, again they're talented and friendly people and I'm happy with the services they provided me. But that doesn't excuse the fact that the shop as a whole is not where I would recommend anyone to go. The shop has a very uncomfortable atmosphere, the things that they loudly talk about while clients are there is honestly disgusting and unprofessional. During a long tattoo session I had there, I heard the artists make fun of clients after they've left and make very inappropriate comments, and just in general they were super rude and not professional. Furthermore, and I'll start with the fact that I am a vet tech and I (obviously) work with animals so I'm super comfortable around them, but they had 3 dogs running around the studio and one of the dogs tried to jump up on the bench WHILE I was getting tattooed. Thank God my artist (who now is no long affiliated with the shop) was talented enough to not make a stray mark because those dogs were running into the bench and her and just causing mayhem but the owner just didn't care. I also think the owner is a bit difficult to work with. She left me on read multiple times about touching up a tattoo that she did that faded ridiculously fast and did a couple other things that I don't want to get into but were just not cool. Again, just really not professional. Please go somewhere else, there's a lot of really talented artists in Chicago that have way better shops and are much easier to work with. Honestly I'm just sad that with me finally coming out and saying something about this shop means I'll never be able to work with Izzy and Miranda again, definitely hit them up if you're going to this shop, they deserve all the love, I just wish they worked anywhere else.

EDIT: I also want it to be said that the artists at ADC are undeniably talented. Amber does very high quality animal portraits and the other artists at the shop also work very hard and it shows in their work. They're all talented artists but, again, there are equally talented artists elsewhere with more professional and friendly shops.

Had my work done by Vanessa Cruz! It was a loooooong night but she hung in there for me! She was so professional. The atmosphere here is great! Everyone is really attentive and funny. Theres a puppy. She's adorable too!
