Infamous Ink Studio

I went there in January and got a double nose piercing. Good customer service as well.

These guys were great! On vacation & decided to get a quick tattoo with the wife! Walked in, Josh could not have been nicer, in & out in under an hour! Great experience & I highly recommend them!

This is a kool. looking spot. The price was a little high maybe becauseij didn’t really negotiate. Idk. The younger guy tatted me and idk if he is heavy handed or it was a sensitive part of the body but anyway I have two small scars that take away from the tattoo. So yeah I don’t think I’ll go back to this place. Don’t get me wrong the tattoo overall came out perfect. But the two scars, heavy handed and price are the reason 4 3 stars

I literally created a Unilocal account finally tonight to speak on my piercing-​related experiences in Wicker Park.
I went to Infamous Ink today while on my way to Identity because it was on the way — I wanted to see how prices compared and save myself another sixty seconds of walking (it’s rainy, okay?).
I arrived. One large man stared at me. Then, another guy bopped over. No customers were there. They did not greet me. I initiated the conversation, «How much do you charge to put in jewelry?»
«Did you bring the jewelry?»
«Yes.»
“Ten dollars.”
«Okay, I’d like help putting in the jewelry.» I started getting the jewelry from my bag.
At this point, it occured to the guy to ask me how many piercings I need help with. He never even asked me where they were. Then, he started backtracking on price.
If I have fourteen piercings that need changed jewelry (I have more piercings than those, and I have been pierced many, many, many more times than that), do you really think I’ve never done this before? Do you think I don’t know how tipping works?
You pocket more money by charging me $ 6 and me tipping you $ 25 then if you charge me $ 25 and I tip $ 6. Doesn’t anybody notice this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
They probably are fully aware that they have terrible customer service and get scared so arbitrarily raise prices to compensate for the tip they know they don’t deserve.
Identity only charged $ 6 for the service of removing the jewelry and putting it in (not for each piercing). They also greet you when you arrive and offer you candy and tea.

Infamous Ink is awesome! Bryan did a phenomenal job on my tattoo! I barely felt any pain! I came in after midnight to get my tat done, with two pictures and an idea in my head of what I wanted. He blended the two pics together to make a perfect tat on his first shot with drawing the pic! I was so impressed. He was very polite and professional the entire time. I’ll definitely be back!

I wish I could give them a higher rating because the service I received when I got my piercing was good. It was when I tried to come back on two separate occasions to follow up, that I didn’t like my experience. I first returned on a Tuesday evening and the person who does the piercings wasn’t there so I was told to return the following day. I arrived at 12:00 pm and no one was there. I waited for 30 min, and still no one showed up. I personally believe that if you advertise being open at a certain time you should be unless noted.

I couldn’t have found a better tattoo shop that takes walk-​ins, and the tattoo was quick. I’ll be back in the spring for a 3^rd tatt.

Jeremy was my artist and did an amazing job. I had a blue tiger done on my thigh. The color and line work is amazing. I would definitely go back. Thanks Jeremy

Got my first tattoo here a few weeks ago — nothing too large, definitely entered the shop with nervous anticipation.
Jeremy was absolutely fantastic. He worked with me to pick the design I wanted, and generally made the entire experience enjoyable. Admittedly, I was a little unprepared for my first time, but he was patient through the entire session and moved at a pace that was within my comfort level.
The tattoo itself came out great, and was fully healed within days. Minimal redness, zero swelling… couldn’t have asked for a better scenario.
Highly recommend!

Overall, my dream came true. I had this blurry vision in my head of what I wanted and multiple shops told me it wasn’t ideal or even possible. I walked in and talked to Josh and he mentioned things that showed me we were on the same page. I immediately felt comfortable and supported.
Due to conflict, I had to reschedule my original appointment. He was very flexible and we kept in contact. Any «silly» question I had, he answered and reassured me that I was making the right decision.
I came back into town for this piece and the process was smooth. It was on my side/​ribs, so the pain was expected. He talked me through it and even gave me a short break.
I was beyond happy with the finished product and I can’t stop looking at it! I know that any questions I have, I can go to Josh and he would be happy to help.
I will definitely be coming to him in the future.
The shop was very clean and I even found free parking around the block.

Just went in today. Got my anti-​helix pierced. It was quick and easy! Josh was my piercer and it probably took 20 min total (there were two girls ahead of me). Filled out the forms, got my ID copied, and was back in the chair getting a needle in my ear. The place was very clean and nice inside. I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone! It was $ 50.

I have over 20 tattoos and have only gone back to two artists more than once. Basically because I am an artist and like artists putting their work on me, so I like to switch it up.
One night in April my best friend and I were at a bar seeing a show. He has one tattoo and no piercings. He turns to me in the middle of the show and says, «Hey, do you want to go get a tattoo and piercing tonight?» I look at him puzzled… SURE! It was around 11 I think and I suggested Infamous Ink since I knew it was open and I’ve heard great things about the studio. We get there and both say we want a tattoo and piercing each. I said I wanted my Tragus pierced and lyrics on my knuckles. He wanted an ear piercing and small tattoo on his wrist. Our artist (yes he did both) was Josh. I got pierced first and then he went to do my knuckles. I got my other knuckles tattooed and I know it hurts. Josh did a great job, making sure I was comfortable and all that. He went over the lines multiple times to make sure it was perfect. Even though my knuckles were obviously swollen it looked AMAZING! My friend just got a tattoo and loved his as well. The prices were pretty reasonable… especially for Wicker Park.
Fast track to June. My fiancé and I (he has NO piercings or tattoos) wanted some semi-​matching tattoos. I suggested we go to Infamous and get it done by Josh. I emailed Josh, gave him the photo along with an idea and he booked us for a Friday night. We wanted a musical heart/​bass clef (pretty simple). When my fiancé and I got there you could see he was nervous. He went first and hardly had any pain (he got his on his arm). As soon as he was done Josh asked how that was an he said not that bad at all. My fiancé even said before he got out of the chair that he couldn’t wait for his next tattoo! Next was me… I got mine on my hip bone. Josh made mine a little different and put little heart lines on both sides :) I heard the hip bone is VERY painful and I also have a huge scar that Josh was trying to cover. Besides my knuckles it was probably the most painful spot but Josh was again quick, fast, sweet, and all that. Our tattoos healed up great and we are very satisfied. Since then my fiancé keeps saying when can we go back for another :) Soon. I totally recommend Infamous. Professional staff, clean, reasonable prices.
Hmm…I think I’m going next week to get another piece by Josh :)

Just got my first Tattoo today! Decided on this Studio because of reviews & that they are experienced in white ink. Owner Jeremy did mine, great experience, little to no pain. Great vibe, thank you Jeremy!

A friend and I were looking for tattoo places in the area that also did piercings, which believe it or not, was somewhat difficult to find. Especially if you don’t really get a lot of tattoos or piercings. Anyway, I wanted two piercings, and my friend wanted a tattoo. I ran into this place randomly in my search for tattoo studios while on my way to a date in Wicker Park and noticed how clean and modern the studio appeared from the window. Upon reading the many good Unilocal reviews, I told my friend about this place, and we decided to make this the spot to get our tattoos and piercings done. I’m certainly glad we did!
The place is pretty laid-​back. My friend and I were a few minutes late to our appointment with Jeremy, but he was super awesome about the whole deal, and it didn’t seem to matter since we were basically the only ones there – we must have gotten there a little after opening hours that day. I got two piercings done (one on my lip and one on my nose) in less than 15 minutes. Super quick, clean, and easy – just how I like things done. I was given instructions on how to properly take care of the piercings, and was told that if I had any questions, I could call at anytime. How awesome!
Right after I was finished, my friend was up for her tattoo. It was her first one, so she was a little nervous. Jeremy was totally great – he stopped every now and then to check on my friend to see how she was holding up, and even cracked a few jokes to ease any tension. Totally cool. After seeing how well my friend’s tattoo experience worked out, I will definitely come back for a tattoo of my own.
Thanks, Jeremy!

Really great guys! Group of us came in around 1:30am and Jeremy and Brian were really welcoming and respectful. They stayed late and took their time on each of our tattoos instead of just doing a quickie so that they could get home sooner. Clean environment and the guys are easy to talk to. Definitely going to come back. Thanks guys!

A friend recommended Infamous Ink. Unilocal’s reviews confirmed it was a good choice. That was last year. Yesterday, I had my second ink done by Jeremy from Infamous. It was a piece with a lot of fine line work… I was very nervous about it because there is no shading and therefor the lines have to be perfect. He did an amazing job, it looks awesome! I can very comfortably recommend Infamous to anyone — great service, clean shop… can’t be happier!

I came in for a tattoo on a time crunch. On top of that i only had an idea on what to get, no details. Josh was my artist, and on top of being super cool and easy to work with he helped me out a lot with ideas on how to make the tattoo work. It was a decent size, & on my ribs. Josh was able to work around all my squirming, & just laughed along with me.
I honestly couldn’t be happier with the work i got done, & wish i didn’t live out of state cuz otherwise i would continue to come back!

Thank you Ari and expecially Brian by helping my daughter and I respect my brother. Words can’t describe how you captured the most important person in my life.
Love you bro. Miss you.

I got my first tattoo at Infamous Ink 4 days ago and I had an absolutely great experience. Josh and Ari eased my nerves and were happy to show me all their sterilization procedures and certifications. They collaborated with me to make sure I got exactly what I wanted and I am completely in love with the result.
Other studios in town made me feel unwelcome because my piece was so small (they were looking to book only large 2hr+ appointments) and because it was my first time, but I was felt extremely comfortable at Infamous Ink. I think this is a great choice for your tattoo, whether you are a first-​timer or a pro (I saw some amazing pictures of the larger pieces they have done)!
Also, gave me great color options compared to other places (some studios would only do my work in black because it is small) and one of the few places in the city to do white ink.

Normally I don’t write reviews, but I had to on this one! I finally had the courage to get the tattoo I had so long waited for but didn’t know where to go, on a count I had 2 already. I surely did not want to go back to those place, first pricing was changed at the end and the artist weren’t too welcoming and a bit intimidating. So I came on Unilocal to find a shop after reading the reviews I gave this shop a try. I had read a could post that stated Jeremy was very nice and had light hands so it wasn’t too painful.
As I walked in I was greeted and asked what brought me in. I right away got a good vibe from the greeted And Jeremy, after I explained what I wanted he go to work right on the spot! Jeremy right away started to make conversation and told me I was doing good and he was almost done, which I never got before. After he was done, which too me was rather quickly he asked how many did I have bc it seemed I had ton they way I sat thru this one. Once we were done I walked out with a hand shake and all! :O I never got that even when I have gone with friends for their tattoos.
2 weeks later I was back looking for Jeremy for another project! Again he gave me the same service although I complained a little this time. But once we got to talking I learned a lot of him Nd that he is the owner as well. That day I walked out with an extra ink than I had went in for. Loved his work and I knew I wouldn’t go any where else so why not! Don’t have plans for more now but in the future I know now where I will and refer ppl.
