Only One Place in Chicago to Get a Tattoo...

by kjuhygtfrdertyujh

My brother works here and I've spent tons of time hanging out with those guys, and they are awesome. Paul, the owner, knows what he's doing and he brings in the right artists. Wouldn't be caught dead getting a tattoo anywhere else.

• Pros: sweet atmosphere, quality work, good people.

Great place!!!

I have been to the tattoo factory for every one of my tattoos except one (the one I am going to get covered up) and been to the same tattoo artist every time (Dawn Grace). I have gotten 6 tattoos there and every time the other artests have been very friendly and helpful asking if I needed help and cracking Jokes and everything. I was in the chair getting my tattoo withing minutes every time except one, and that time dawn grace apologized and explained it had been a very busy day and she would have informed me to come latrer if she had gotten a chance. Every time I have been there the tattoos were done exceptionally well (and still look lovely) the only time I have needed touch ups were when i accidentally scratched part of the design off or wasnt taking care of the one properly despite dawns instructions.

I would recomend anyone go to Dawn Grace her work is lovely and she is so sweet she makes sure you are ok and understand how to take care of the tattoo and she is genually a wonderful artist and person.

• Pros: great service great artests and great prices
• Cons: there are guest artists there sometimes who can be rude but not too often

Everything I was hoping for and more!

I was planning on getting my tattoo for a long time and also had my own design. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by a guy (don't remember his name) who was so nice and understanding of what I wanted. He started sketching the tattoo within a matter of minutes. Bobby Sox was the one who tattooed me. He was awesome! Very experienced and knew what he was doing! He was talking to me the whole time trying to make me feel comfortable knowing that this was my first tattoo. He was done within 20 mins and it looked amazing. It was better than I imagined. I got it done 3 days ago and I'm loving it more and more everyday. Go to Bobby Sox, you won't be dissapointed!

• Pros: Great skills and experience
• Cons: not the best neighborhood
