I got a lip piercing and the piercer did a poor job. Did not line up the piercing so my piercing is lopsided. She put in a hoop that doesnt take swelling into account. She failed to tell me anything about gauge size or what to do/not to do to avoid any complications. She did however tell me to clean with saline wipe and that I can change out my hoop after a month, but thats it. Before piercing my lip, she didnt thoroughly check to make sure there were no veins or possible obstructions, she just jumped right into piercing me. Im lucky to not be bleed profusely to be quite frank. I recommend going to Liberty Tattoo for any piercings, the piercer is awesome and does great work there. I regret not going to him in the first place but I was trying to save money and instead ended up losing 40 bucks. I will never go to this place again.

This place is a joke. Came in a couple times for my appointments and it was nothing but excuses and saying they arent capable of doing the tattoos I wanted. Unbelievable. Thanks for wasting my time and leading me on. The artists might be good, but it aint worth the frustration. Couldnt give me a quote, extremely unorganized and they definitely dont make the customer a priority. I heard so many good things about this place but after my experience Id say the only good thing is that its clean..I have never felt so unwelcomed and if you have your own image of what kind of tattoo you want, dont expect to be treated very well especially by the owner. Luckily there are other tattoo shops near by who actually hear you out and do amazing work

I got two cartilage piercings and a tragus piercing from this shop and today I had to go to a tattoo/piercing shop where Im at in college now to have them remove my cartilage piercing because it wouldnt budge and was not healing. Me and the piercers here discovered the reason it was so difficult to get out (3 people had to try). Apparently at Good Family Tattoo they used what these piercers said was a "nose bone" and stuffed that into the post/back of the jewelry. The piece was all bent, which was preventing an easy removal. I am very dissatisfied with my piercings and feel like I got ripped off. Now Im concerned about the quality of my tragus piercing being compromised because of this poor work. There should be a zero star option.

Good Family Tattoo is the ONLY place I will ever go again for tattoos and piercings! The owner, Joel, is one of the most awesome people Ive ever met, both as an artist and a human being. I love that the work is so professional, and the artists really care about your vision for the artwork. The piercer, Chloe, is really a pro and knows what shes doing. Ive had 3 tattoos and two piercings there, and my husband is working on a sleeve right now. My 14 year old daughter even got her belly button pierced there, and she couldnt be happier! If youre getting a tattoo or piercing in Lake County, Good Family Tattoo is the best place to go!

I checked this place out because of the rave reviews, and they werent wrong. Good Family Tattoo has a wonderfully laid-back atmosphere, great personalities working there, and high quality work. They instantly made me comfortable, worked with me on my tattoo, making sure I had exactly what I wanted. While I was in there, another guy came in saying that he had gotten his tattoo somewhere else, and was dismayed at how awful the job was at this other place. They were very willing to take care of him and work with him, which impressed me even more. And thats what they do there: take care of you.

Excellent customer service and overall atmosphere. The work performed by my particular artist was the best experience I have ever had from a tattoo shop. Personally I had two eight-hour sessions and they were very accommodating. Towards the end they even provided pizza! After this visit I would never consider going ANYWHERE else for a tattoo. If you live out of the area it is definitely worth the drive to pay a visit. The customer service and personalities of the employees is what makes this tattoo shop the best around, it shows in the quality of work performed!

Love the work I had done on my tattoo that was started by another place that actually scarred me. Felt relaxed and secure with Joel who did a great job with the color its like he knew exactly what I wanted without me having to be a control freak and tell him every detail. ....Love it! Cant wait to have him fix my other tattoo that the other shop messed up. I love this place. The atmosphere is welcoming, the music is awesome. Great customer Service. Everyone there goes out of their way to make you feel welcome.

within a good 10-15 mins i had filled out the paperwork and been waiting at the counter. my piercier was Chloe Juckel and she was awsome at moving swiftly. i live in waukegan i gladly drove futher for better service and thats what i got :} i got my tongue pierced and i was so happy i gave my piercer a hug .the spot she picked was sweet because the pain 1-10 is a 1 and at most and 2.5 if swollen and im just waking up or something. ive had bad experiences ing the past in zion but i really enjoyed myself.

This place is simply the best. Staff is really cool and laid back. Ive gotten two tattoos from them already and Im waiting for my third one. I like how they take time to find the reasons for the tattoo, so they can work with it. Tattooers are incredibly talented, and their ideas are really creative. The service is very professional and the shop is really clean too. I felt really comfortable while getting my tattoos. I always tell my friends and family to go check out this place. It is really worth it!

I went in with a very close friend of mine to get her tattoo touched up and got one myself! They drew up an idea of a butterfly that I have had in my mind for years!! I finally got the butterfly on my foot that I have been wanting for way to long!! I was very nervous but with these guys I couldnt help but be relaxed!! They took excellent care of us and VERY reasonably priced and I am ALREADY planning my other foot tattoo and I will be coming back. Thank you guys!!

I dropped off a pic and scheduled an appointment for a couple weeks later. The owner was to draw up a design based on the pic. I showed up at my scheduled time, only to find out that he did not draw anything up, and didnt even have me scheduled. His excuse was that he didnt think I would show up. Me being a novice, I scheduled another appointment......but later decided to cancel it and go somewhere else. Very unprofessional!

From the moment the three of us pulled in to the lot for walk-ins and Joel hopped around the corner of the shop with a big smile on his face, we felt like we were in good hands. The process was streamlined and everyone was very friendly. Frank did two out of our three tattoos and Katie did the other. Both artists were great! Talkative, professional and went above and beyond to give us the tattoos we wanted. We will be back!
