Referred to Ben by a neighbor and I couldn’t be more pleased. His responsiveness, professionalism, genuine care for my comfort (I’m a sissy), and reasonable pricing was incredible!! Highly recommend.
Update: returned to Ben for tattoos to honor my soul dog and he delivered flawlessly again. Patient, caring, and even thought to flip the prints for a more natural look. Very happy with the results.

Look no further. I Would recommend this shop for ANY and ALL tattoo work, friends, family, and strangers alike. With 13 in house artist, go see their amazing staff, and they will fit you with the correct artist for any and all tattoo styles, designs, and work!! Busy place, walk ins are welcome but appointments are preferred. If you want good quality work and exceptional customer service you can’t find anywhere else in the Chicagoland area, Deluxe Tattoo is your shop. They truly go the extra mile for ALL their customers… I couldn’t be more happy with the work and treatment I’ve received from Deluxe Tattoo for years! Thanks Ben and crew, you are all amazing artists second, humans first. Thanks! And parking isn’t bad either, just pay the meter out front of the shop on the street or pull around the corner and park for free on any of the residential side streets!

Worst tattoo experience in my life. Went there to do a walk in with a simple gray scale design. One woman said the design (a Skeleton in a suit and fedora hat) was way out of her wheel house and she wasn't comfortable. The guy she sent to talk to me said I would need to make an appointment because it would take 3 to 4 hours to draw alone?!?! And then he said he would really need to research the character before doing the tattoo. Like, what? Sir, I was not asking for a book report or a magazine article to be written. Why do you need to "research" the character of the tattoo you are doing? And why would it take 3 to 4 hours to draw a simple 5inch by 4 inch design in gray scale? Seriously?! Save your money and your time, I went to Tattoo Factory instead today and gladly gave them $300 for an amazing experience, got my tattoo in under 2 hours (the guy sketched it out and printed it in 10 minutes and didn't need to research the character at all) Deluxe should definitely change their name to Basic and get back to school.

I’ve gone to several tattoo places over the years some regrets some I love, but I came to Delux and found Danise By lucky accident! She’s been doing my tats since then, she can make an old faded tired, looking Tattoo into a thing of beauty, she creates fresh new tattoos She has great ideas about balance and color and I listen to her every time! she’s been working on my arm & my back for a long time and I trust her. She’s cheerful and chatty, warm and friendly. She can walk and talk at the same time which is great! Delux is very easy-going place, everyone there is very pleasant & friendly. Total pros! I give it a big fat recommendation and Danise iespecially!

Great place, great artists, clean, fairly priced.
I worked with Troy and he did a cover up of 4 previous tattoos on one arm, and one huge one on the other, and tied in a tiger that I had done years ago.
I LOVE it and throughout the process he was very professional, clean, insightful and now you can’t even tell that any tattoos were covered up!
They have a lot of talented tattoo artists here who all specialize in different things, but are all equally impressive!
