I came here on the recommendation of one of my bosses, and it was a great experience! The place is clean & clutter-free, and the artists & staff are courteous and welcoming. My tattoo looks great, and I will definitely recommend Great Lakes Tattoo to friends!

My experience was excellent. Miles took the ink print from my German Shorthair Pointer and artistically made the tattoo look like her real paw print using shades of black and gray. I didn’t want it to look all black like a clip art paw but like a real life print and I could not be happier with the outcome!

My best friend & I were on a weekend trip & decided a tattoo would definitely make it memorable. We asked some locals for recommendations & this place came up several times.

Making Chicago a more beautiful place, one tattoo at a time. GLT is hands down, the BEST shop in town. True artists with a passion for tattoo knowledge and history. GLT doesn’t play. I’ve been multiple times over the years and have had nothing but awesome experiences and received incredible art that I am CONSTANTLY getting complimented on.
