Just got back from getting my first tattoo by Khalid. He was awesome to work with. He is so talented and easy to talk to, the time flew by. I've also been tattooed by Desirea in the past, and had the same experience. Great shop and great artists!

Best tattooing experience I have ever had. I had wanted my design for almost 3 years, and it came out so much better than I expected/wanted. Thanks Khalid!!!!!!

I drove to Illinois from Virginia with 2 friends who swore by this shop. After speaking to Khalid and seeing the shop in person I totally understand why. Their shop is gorgeous and super clean. All the staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. I had a lower arm piece done by Taylor. It came out outstanding. He was very personable, extremely artistic and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. I also had my ears re-pierced by TJ and they are great, awesome jeweler, great service. This place is top notch. We ended up being ... read more

Got my first tattoo with Desirea last night. Love, love, love it. She did a great job designing what I had envisioned I wanted my first one to look like. Took two hours and I never needed to bite on my wet rag, not really painful.

I got my first tattoo here in June and have been back for three more since. Khalid is awesome at his craft. The whole crew is great and the atmosphere is very comfortable and family like. Totally worth the wait!

Happy with most of my experiences here, and Im looking forward to my next tattoo. Desiree is easy to talk to and very personable, which always makes getting a tattoo more fun. I've also been pierced by TJ. He took great care of me and remembered to follow-up with me when he saw me again. My 6 month old son kind of messed up my Monroe the day after I got it, and he was super cool to help me out with some new jewelry. Area 51 has excellent customer service, provides quality tattoos and piercings and has a clean and comfortable... read more
