Had work done here by James Eastwood which I would rate 5/5. However, when trying to get a new piece done I emailed them...Called the shop.... Left messages multiple times and never once got a call back. If they dont have time for repeat customers then Ill take my business elsewhere. Edit: Yes, I literally called once weekly, then every day for a week. He was in fact in, but didnt take my call. I get that, hes doing work for someone else and doesnt want to interrupt, but never called me back. The secretary promised hed call me back. I live in Michigan now, wanted to make a trip to Chicago specifically for this, so I couldnt just stop in. Its not fake news, its what happened. And like I said, if you guys are too busy for a loyal repeat customer, then more power to you, but this isnt hashtag bull, its reality.

I have had a few friends recommend this place and now Ive had tattoos and piercings done at Insight! I was definitely impressed with this place and it definitely did carry an aura of professionalism and high hygiene standards. We didnt feel rushed into anything, all our questions were answered, and we definitely took our time making the decisions. Its good to know that they have a $60 minimum on any tattoo, and I feel like that is definitely a reasonable price. I have had two tattoos done by James, and my friend got her tragus pierced by Bob. Everyone was friendly and wanted to make sure it was a good experience. The Blow pops given to us after the whole thing was said and done was a great touch too! So go forth and get inked here! And dont forget to tip your artist!

I feel like these guys kinda ripped me off. I came in one night for a pair of 1/2 inch earrings. Their selection was somewhat limited, but I found something I liked and asked to have them put in. The piercer was more than helpful, but when it came time to pay they had to look up "new" prices in a book and said $38. Which is totally reasonable for a pair of stainless steel earrings, but somehow they came to $38 a piece! $76 dollars later Im left wondering what happened??? I even called back the next day and told them I felt over-charged, but who I am to assume was the same person that helped me the night before, and sounded like she remembered me, said "No, those are our prices. Its what we pay from the company we get them from." WORST OVER-CHARGED EXPERIENCE EVER.

I would not recommend Chris at Insight Studios ever. I came for a walk-in and it was very busy. Chris did my tattoo (the monopoly electric company lightbulb). The tattoo is about an inch and by my ankle. My tattoo is completely botched and will need to be corrected or removed. Not happy with the service there at all. My brother was also with me to get a tattoo and Chris was totally rude to him would not give my brother five minutes to explain what he was able to get for the size he wanted. My brother was next to be tattooed after me and when I showed him my tattoo I paid for mine and we left. Chris does not have the skill, patience, or customer service a tattoo artist in Chicago should have.

I never actually got a tattoo here, but I did try to. I originally called the business on a Sunday with the promise of getting a call back. I did at 9 oclock that night. The man I spoke to promised my tattoo artist (who wasnt in at the time) would call me the next day as soon as they open. Fast forward three days, Ive received no call. Wednesday, I call in again, wondering what the deal is and get another promise of a returned phone call. Fast forward again to Friday, still no call, I drive an hour into town to the shop to finally talk to them in person. The artist (whose name escapes me) was indifferent at best and unapologetic. I changed my mind about going there after this encounter.

An awesome experience from start to finish! The woman at the desk set me up right away, and explained to me their available pieces. Got an eyebrows piercing and Im super happy with how it came out!! I got it done with Bob Jones and told him I was anxious about it and asked if he could explain how it all went down. He explained it all in depth and put my mind at ease and I even have a better understanding about how piercings are done! Amazing bedside manner, gave me $10 off my price for being a Columbia Student, two lollipops (i felt like a kid at the doctors office almost haha!) and his card, and sent me on my merry way. My piercing looks great, and Im stoked about it! Thanks!!

Ive had several intricate piercing projects done by Mr Bob Jones and theyve turned out perfect. His demeanor, bedside manners, and overall personality is welcoming, reassuring and calming. His shop is immaculate and an amazing layout. Very classy! Im a body Piercer in Madison, WI and I drive 200 miles to get a piercing. I trust his professionalism, patience, and precision. Hes also been a lot of help with sharing his knowledge and extensive experience. You cant help but trust a guy who has a picture of his kitty on his business card.

I just got my first tattoo from Kyle at Insight Studios! The place was clean, gorgeous, and he went above and beyond what I had been expecting him to do. My tattoo is of a dandelion on my foot and I was really nervous that the drawing he would do wouldnt be how I was picturing it in my head. It was better. I almost want his initials next to it now because it really does look like a piece of art right on my foot. Thank you Insight and Kyle for a great experience! I HIGHLY recommend Insight to anyone interested in getting a tattoo!

Love this place and my tattoo!! My first impression of the store was that it was clean and the layout was aesthetically pleasing. My experience kept getting better and better. Ryan, the tattoo artist, did a wonderful job! I brought in a few printouts and he based a design off of them and they were great! He made my experience one that I will never forget- he was genuine and good at keeping a conversation! Love my tattoo so much! Thanks for everything! I will deff. Recommend Ryan and this place to anybody who wants a tattoo!

I found Insight on the web and went in Friday night without an appointment. After a brief wait, I met with Bob Jones to get my belly button ring removed. He was very gracious in apologizing for the wait, but even more gracious in not charging for the removal. I tried to tip him, but he would not accept a gratuity. The place was very modern and clean and I would definitely return and recommend the shop to others. In times like these when you rarely get any service for free, it was great to meet Bob and have his help.

I got my 2nd tattoo here and I loved my experience! I got it done by Kelly and he was super nice and friendly. I was sort of picky with how and where I wanted my tattoo and he was a sport hearing me out. The cost was great in my opinion. For a simple tattoo, it came out to be around $100! The place was nice and smelled clean. Found out from looking at their brochures, that you can adopt ferrets, which I never would have knew if I did not go there. So it was fate! Definitely going there again!
