I have no idea whos writing these reviews but they arent even close to accurate. This was the worst tattoo shop Ive ever been to in my entire life! Not only was the artist completely rude and very demanding on how HE wanted my tattoo, he also charged me $170 for a ONE sentence tattoo with uneven lines and faded ink spots. He only gave me the price for my tatt after I told him how much I had to spend, which just happened to be $170. After the tattoo was completed, I got a quote from other artists and they said 80 bucks tops for my tattoo. Not only that, his piercing of my eyebrow was terrible and became infected, and on top of all of that, his practice was not sterile it all because he used paper towels to cover tattoes. Paper towels that he had previously touched with contaminated gloves! I went with my cousin and she was overcharged for her tattoo, which wasnt even done to her specifications. We will not be returning and we will not be telling people to go there and in fact, we will be referring people away from his practice in the future!!

My husband and I got our first tattoos on February 22nd. We called in January get information and set up an appointment. I spoke to Julie on the phone and she was very helpful and answered every question I had. She gave us Ray Allen Hughes Sr.s email address and told us to email our design ideas and he would get back to us in a few days. We heard from him within hours. He was also very helpful and got us set right up with an appointment. The day of the tattoo, we felt very welcomed in the shop. Great atmosphere. Very laid back but also very professional. Ray Allen Sr. was great in helping us add elements to our tattoos and find the right lettering. We watched as everything was sanitized and cleaned. He did an amazing job on our tattoos and charged us a good price. We were extremely pleased with the whole experience at Champaign tattoo. We will definitely be back for more and we will continue to recommend this shop to friends.

As always, Ray Sr has out done himself. Have been a customer for approx 15 years. Not only is he a great artist, but THE nicest and cleanest parlor in town. I am always pleasantly surprised to watch a master do his work. Cant believe the attention to make sure there is no contamination when he works, there is never a time that he is not consciously thinking about keeping EVERYTHING sterile while tattooing. Check him out, you wont be disappointed. Just received the latest work from Ray Sr. As always, wonderful work and great service. this one is from a picture that I showed him and he drew up exactly what I wanted. THANK YOU SR. !!!!!!!!!

I had met Ray for my second Tattoo A Little dragon lying across my initials on my right upper arm, it was over people say getting Ink can say be addictive ! I believe that to be true when you find the right artist. Ray was able to create exactly what I wanted. The experience made all the difference. I now have spent over a hundred hours under the needle with Ray Full Back piece one half sleeve getting ready to finish a full sleeve. I recommend him to everyone that asks about my art work, I believe them to be a higher quality than just being a Tattoo they are undoubtedly Art !

Vision World Tattoo is hands down the best tattoo shop in champaign urbana to me and my wife, my first tattoo back in 2003 was done by Ray and i have been going back ever since. Vision World is more thn just a tattoo shop your treated with respect and kindness unlike other shop in town. Ray's artistic ability is threw the roof and he goes well past just basic tattoo designs, he makes the design come to life exceeding your expectations. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VISION WORLD TATTOO TO ANY AND EVERYBODY!!!! SIGNED WILLIE MCGEE A LOYAL CUSTOMER!!!

I LOVE COMING HERE EVERY YEAR! I come once a year for my birthday and they always have a slot for me. Theres never any wait. This is a family run business that is very close knit. Im always made to feel comfortable and welcomed. SUPER CLEAN and work is always done in a timely fashion. I got my latest tattoo done by Ray sr. That was pretty complicated ( which i didnt even realize how much so til i came in) and he was extra careful to take his time and do a good job. I feel like a valued client and will return every year. Thanks!!!

Stopped in, very impulsively, after wrapping up work for the day. Sr. was helpful, funny and has one hell of an eye for good work. His style is unique and I thoroughly enjoyed the banter during our session. I am very satisfied with the tattoo he created for me, but was thoroughly impressed at his ability to freehand an addition to the tattoo that was made on the fly. All in all, they were fair on the price, the whole tattoo was done quick and very well, and I will be returning! Thanks guys, keep up the good work!

I got a daith piercing done here to prevent migraines about a month ago. I was having two to three migraines a week and so far I have not had any. I figured if this didnt work at least I would have a cool piercing! Ray (the owner) and his wife are sweet people who are knowledgeable and very personable. The establishment is very clean and in a very convenient location. If you are wanting any work done I would highly recommend this place!

The dude didnt even know how to do a triangle. It looks horrible. Wish I could add a photo. Lines are uneven and squiggly. Was seriously wondering if the dude was even a tattoo artist! Waiting two weeks and going to someone else. He didnt even bandage me correctly! Blamed it on me wearing a push up bra when I wasnt even wearing a push up lol! He seemed stoned or intoxicated. Never ever ever go here

I have several tattoos but have never had one done locally. When I went to Champaign tattoo, Ray Allen made me feel like he could be MY tattoo artist. He was so reasonable with price and stood by exactly everything we discussed. He also made me very comfortable was VERY clean (so important!) He made the first 3 hours fly by and gave me a really excellent tattoo. I couldnt be happier!

Ray Sr gave me my first tattoo almost 13 years ago. Yesterday I got one from his son, Ray Allen! Hes an amazing artist and really took time to make sure what I wanted was done right! Definatly recommend Champaign Tattoo to anyone looking for a great professionally done tattoo. Ray Allen has a great sense of humor and made my experience enjoyable!! Rock it Ray!! (Both of you)

Sr was absolutely amazing. His wife was awesome and helpful. We walked in at 630 and my wife and sister in law got small tattoos that put us at 9pm and he stayed late to do my 2 and a half our tattoo. He did an amazing job and whenever I come back to Champaign I intend on only going to him for tattoos. Just a stand up guy and business. Great conversation as well.
