Cassandra did my tattoo last night and I am in love with it! She was so nice too, everyone is super professional, the whole shop is spotless, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and they were already pretty lofty expectations! I 1000% recommend this shop and can not say enough good things about Cassandra especially! This was a memorial for my brother. So super important and she just knocked it outta the park! Thank you!
Kris took the time to explain the process and the history behind the daith piercing and migraines. Piercing was quick. Some pain on the drive home but havent had any pain since. Which is super surprising considering its a pretty thick area to have pierced. Ive been following the cleaning regiment with the solution I purchased there. Hoping the healing process continues to go smoothly! Kris and the staff are super nice. Check in process was quick and easy on a mounted tablet. I only waited for max 10 mins though apparently they can have longer wait times, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Looking forward to getting tattooed by Cassandra there next week!
I loved the experience I had at this shop! I was tattooed by Lauren and Paul, both of which are incredibly talented tattoo artists. I absolutely love my new tattoo and am so grateful that Lauren and Paul took the time to get my tattoo perfect. The shop was clean and very well run. Also, everyone was so friendly! Ive never had people be so friendly and nice to me at previous shops I had gone to. I cant wait to come back here soon!
The people who work there are super friendly. Highly recommend to go get your needs taken care of
Im not a fan of needles but I walked out with 3 piercings all in one shot. Needless to say, The experience was everything I was hoping for and more. He asked me questions about where I wanted the jewelry, he drew multiple markings before piercing so I could chose which one I liked most, gave me breathing cues and made sure the whole process was as smooth as possible.
Paul did a really good job with my first tattoo. Put his time and effort into it. Made sure to give him a nice tip for fitting me in. Definitely coming back for my next one.
Anthony is the best! Very talented, thumbs up for sure! I’ve gotten 3 tattoos from him so far and counting, including a cover up! He does such an incredible job of takes my ideas, and designing up the perfect tattoo. They are so detailed, I am beyond happy with all of my tattoos! The shop is so clean and really laid back, friendly staff. I highly recommend Anthony if your looking to get some new ink!
My friend and I were walk-ins today for some ear piercings and had such a pleasant experience! We were helped right away by Cody who is apprenticing here and he was incredibly helpful in advising us on some things we hadn’t considered (such as not piercing both ears at once due to discomfort sleeping, what would heal fastest & make the most sense to do in what order, etc). He was knowledgeable and very patient with our questions. Kris was the person who actually did the piercing and he was SO SMOOTH. It honestly was the most effortless experience and I am not good with needles or anxiety. Between Kris and Cody, they were both so professional and kind and helped the entire visit go smoothly and quickly.Thank you both so much!
I had Kris pierce my cartilage and triples and he did a great job and explained everything to me along the way, which I really appreciated. All of the workers were friendly and helpful. Inside it was super clean and I was confident that I came to a good place for piercings. I’ve heard so many horror stories about cartilage piercings, but this place was great! 10/10 recommend.
Atmosphere Tattoo Gallery is the place to go!!! I’d rate it 10 stars if I could!!! Anthony does all of my tattoos!!! I give him a idea of what I’m interested in and he draws me a beautiful custom piece that blows my mind every time!!! I’ve never had to wait. He’s there and ready for me as soon as I walk in the door. Takes his time to show me his drawing and makes sure he places it perfectly on me before he starts. I’m always greeted by the awesome staff. Super friendly and inviting. The place is incredibly clean which was a concern of mine when I was looking for a tattoo shop. All of the artists there are incredibly talented and great bunch of people! I throughly enjoy being tattooed at Atmosphere!!! You couldn’t pay me to go to anyone else but Anthony!!!
Highly recommend! Relaxed atmosphere!I gotta say, I really enjoyed my experience here. It’s a large updated place that’s got some really good artists working there. I noticed right away, that it was managed well, which made the whole process smooth and didn’t waste any of my time.
If you need a piercing, dont go ANYWHERE else. Kris is an absolute expert. Ive been here before and my wife just had her septum done and the experience is beyond anything youll get at a random shop. Weve had some bad experiences. Kris is the most personable dude ever and will make the process as painless as possible. 100% go see Kris!
Walked in with my friend to get my nose piercing switched out from a stud to a hoop. Even though it was a Saturday evening we didnt have to wait too long. Kris was super friendly and happily answered our questions. They have high quality piercing jewelries for good prices. Highly recommend :)
Anthony is an absolutely amazing and talented tattoo artist! I recommend him to everyone. Kris is also a great piercer, very hygienic and gives a lot of great information as well. The shop itself is very clean and Ive enjoyed my conversations with other artists there while Anthony tattooed me. Even though I live 45+ minutes away, I wouldnt go anywhere else for tattoos or piercings!
Kris is the best. The entire staff was professional, extremely nice, knowledgeable, and SO helpful. Kris took care of me so well and even helped me with a piercing that I didn’t even ask him to look at. If you’re looking to get a piercing, Kris is the man. Cannot thank or recommend this shop enough. I will only ever come here from now on.
I’ve been coming to this shop specifically for over 2 years.. even followed one of the artists (Anthony) over from his previous spot, I get a weird anxiety about walking into new spots because you never know how things can go but it’s always a great time coming here. Every single artist has their own style but i’ve been around enough times to know they will work with and do what they can for any customer and they’ll never turn anyone away because they have artists with more depth/creativity than you normally see around. To run a good shop it has to start from right when you walk in; the people at the front desk are always welcoming and they don’t make anything a process like at some places and i think this place hits the nail on the head with all of it. I never planned to look for another shop or another artist and I highly recommend anyone here from tattoos to piercings, and even tattoo removal. Friendly, welcoming, CLEAN, and overall just a good place to get tattooed.
I was in today and the staff here is amazing!! They were a little busy but the front desk girl got to everyone in a timely matter and was very polite!! Very impressed by this shop! Came in for a tattoo consult with Chris! and I am planning to come for piercings as well!! Keep up the great work!! A saw
I got my tattoo from Cassandra. She was extremely nice, and worked with me on what I wanted. Her finish work was beautiful. I love my new tattoo. I have already shared this place with a friend. Thanks again
Gotten 3 piercings here so far, Kris does a wonderful job and hes very friendly and professional! So happy with all 3 so far! You best believe Im getting more eventually
As a mother of a daughter who wanted their services I felt incredibly confident in Their capabilities. Very clean, staff was friendly and the entire process was quick. Nice job piercing staff!!! Kid tested and mother approved!
I got my piercing done at atmosphere by Kris. I was recommended by my friend who got all her piercing done by him and he was honestly awesome. A lot of sanitation and clean place.Friendly and great environment pricing is good as well. If you need a piercing I would recommend Kris he knows a lot about it and explains everything very well.
Recently got a flash done by Hyesook. She was so easy to work with. Tattoo artists I’ve been to in the past have been intimidating, but she was passionate, easy to work with and the quality was amazing.
Kris is an amazing piercer. Made it the experience comfortable for my daughter. Definitely recommend.
As soon as I walked in I knew that was where I wanted to be. The staff was very kind and professional. I worked with Kris, and I was blown away by his knowledge base and professionalism. I will be returning for any future work I need done, and would highly recommend this location!
I love this shop! Everyone is friendly, profesional and very customer satisfaction oriented. My services are provided by Anthony Cicero, who is courteous, patient and meticulous when it comes to his craftsmanship. I highly recommend him as well as any of the other artists/piercer at the establishment.
The guy (his name was Kris) pierced my friend’s septum and I guess something broke with the needle and he started cussing and yelling. He kept poking at her nose 3 to 4 times to “refix” the piercing. It was painful to watch. After he put the septum in, he kicked the cabinet right behind him and cussed his way out of the store. So unprofessional and I wouldn’t even suggest coming to get a piercing here.
Kris is SO AMAZING I just got my belly re pierced over my scars tissue I would have to say he know what he was doing and he explained to me the whole process.. and also told the right way to keep it clean and he also recommended a cleaning solution!! The girl in the front she’s so nice! While I was waiting we talk a little bit.
Cassandra did my tattoo she was so nice and very kind
Kris has done 3 dermals and I can’t even count how many piercings on me. I have referred so many people to him because he is the BEST!! Keep up the amazing work and I’ll see you soon!!!!
I was really looking forward to getting my first tattoo with my best friend! We searched all over the place and heard that atmosphere was a good place so we checked out there website, it stated “feel free to ask us any questions” and when we did they just said come in ( we live an hour away by the way ). We decided to go on and was told to wait for an artist named Faith, they ( they as in the artist ) where just walking around the store and had us waiting for almost an hour for the consult. When Faith finally realized we where waiting on them, they came up to us and told us they can do our tattoo and that’s it no questions or design ideas or anything just an “ok talk to the front to make an appointment”. We proceeded to do it and emailed Faith our idea then confined to explained to them that I will be moving out of state so if they can just email me the tattoo sketch I would appreciate it, they said no and I followed with a “it would help me out a lot” and they never responded. I just left that as that and the Morning of my tattoo day AtmosphereTattoo called me and asked if I can come in an hour later but I was already on my way. “ I said it was fine” and just drove around a little then I got another call saying that Faiths car broke down and they can’t do it today but In a week. I move in 1 day. It was all super annoying. They made me still come in to get my deposit, did not offer another artist and couldn’t do anything for us. HUGE WAIST OF TIME, LACK OF COMMUNICATION, and overall made a first tattoo experience terrible! Maybe other artist here will be better but Faith was just terrible... and I will be moving states tomorrow without a matching tattoo with my friend which sucks even more... damn this sucks
Clean place.Very nice staff. Cody was great! Popular place!
Called to make an appointment for my kids piercing and was told it was not necessary that walk-in are welcome. At no point was I told that I needed a birth certificate for each child. I drive 35 minutes to Atmosphere and as I walk in they take each of our temperature and has us wait briefly. This is when they said we needed a birth certificate for my kids ages 14 and 16, I was I was never told of this and I drove 35 minutes. They said it’s there recently change policy. I asked as of when they said 1st it was last week but I told them that I try to make appointment on Monday take was not mentioned she then said it was change on Tuesday (how convenient) I even search on their website and found nothing along with no signage on the door requiring birth certificate. I try to call the manager and was told owner Jeff was not there but if he was he would not honor parents with no birth certificate. Taking my business elsewhere where customers are not profiled by the color of their skin.
Amazing place! Hyesook amazing artists among many! As well as Kris !
They did a great transverse piercing for me, and it looks great!
It was very nice the people that work there are very nice and are very good at what they do
Called trying to do a walk in and was told no and was hung up on. I was expecting her to tell me when they had availability so I could make an appointment. Customer service is lacking and I won’t be calling back to try and get a tattoo again.
Everyone I interacted with was friendly and the establishment was clean. I worked with Hye Sook for my tattoo and it was a good experience. Love my tattoo!
Kris is the best! Always very careful when he changes my nose piercing. Highly recommend Kris at Atmosphere! Thank you
Very good service by Chris..Thanks for your expertise
Kris pierced my 2 cartilage piercings and did an amazing job. It was super easy and he was super friendly!
Only had a piercing done but the place looked super clean had professional staff. I had perfect timing but i was in and out within 20 mins. Daith piercing done by Kris. He was straight forward and a pro. After explaining the process and aftercare, piercing was quick and easy. Piercing and placement of ring was done in 20 seconds maybe. Excellent and would highly refer for piercings. Havent gotten a tat there..yet.
I went to Atmosphere Tattoo Gallery while visiting Chicago. The place itself is quite nice however, we waited 50+ minutes for small walk in tattoo. I called ahead of time and was told it would not be too long of a wait. I got a small forearm mandala tattoo which was not done well. I noticed uneven lines, some smaller lines were incomplete. While getting the tattoo done I remember each line bled which is generally not the case for me. Please note, I have multiple other well healed tattoos and I am in the medical field so I know how to take care of my skin. If I lived locally I still wouldnt go back and have it revised because I dont have much faith. Please review the attached pictures and judge for yourself.
Jeff & his crew do some amazing work. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing done.
I had Jason and he was absolutely great shop was super clean got to meet the owner all the other tattoo people can’t wait to go back
The people were so nice! and i like how it was just a pinch and out (i got earrings). and i liked how my piercer made conversation! kris is the best!!!! i wish i took a picture with him lol
Had a great tattoo done here by Cassandra shout out to her because she was great very fun and good conversation. The atmosphere at this shop (no pun intended) is great its clean and very professional. Everyone there seems really nice and you can tell the artists love what they do. Would definitely come back for another tattoo!
I had a great experience at Atmosphere Tattoo for my nose piercing. Kris was very knowledgeable and patient. I asked a lot of questions and he had very clear and concise answers. Walked away feeling very confident about my experience and excited about my nose piercing. Thanks Kris!
I got my nose pierced here and I have to say I was nervous but then the piercer (forgot his name) calmed me down and it was the best experience ever! I’d like to come in again for my naval piercing and tattoos. 5 star!!
Knowledgeable staff, clean facilities and friendly atmosphere! I went with my friend for her follow up appointment to get her tongue ring adjusted, and I decided to get my nose pierced. Perfect placement, quick and easy, and good follow up care instructions. Its healing perfectly and Kris was great.
Excellent service! Kris was patient and entertaining to ease my daughters fear of getting her ears pierced :)
Got my first tattoo done here and I love it!! The person who did my tattoo made me feel super comfortable. Would definitely come back here for another small tattoo!
Outstanding people -- Shout out to Claude, helped me finish a dream I have had for a while... they are great folks here and the environment is just amazing ... 5 star all the way ¸.•´*¨`*•✿
It a clean. People Re very nice and friendly go back
Ive gotten tattoos and piercings here, and everyone here is great! The shop is super clean and welcoming, and the piercer, Kris, really knows what hes doing. I went to Faith for my tattoos, and she is incredible! Ill be coming back here again and again
I got 3 micro dermal piercings on my wrist. Kris Hackenson is an excellent piercer, hes very knowledgeable and experienced at his craft. He is also professional and makes you feel very comfortable during the session. The healing process was quick. The staff is great and I definitely recommend.
Faith rocks!! Beautiful line work and she can handle 3+ hours w a twitchy leg super recommend!
Terrible customer service.. no reply from tattoo artist waiting two weeks for a reply... nothing.. wanted to see a outline before appointment date to see if I like it or if I want to adjust a few things but no reply.. no reply equals me not showing up to the appointment sorry.. I’ll give the same treatment back
I highly recommend this place. Dan did our tattoos and they look amazing!!! Its was my moms first at 71 and she couldnt believe how much it didnt hurt!! Before and after lol. Dan is an amazing artist, the shop is clean, sterile and very friendly. I will be going back to have some of my older tattoos touched up very soon. Five stars is not enough!!!
A few good artists at this shop. Choose wisely...don’t get yourself stuck in Chris Toms chair, he’ll trick you into doing a elementary level tattoo that will look muddy & too dark to see with the thick line work. Don’t be fooled looks good at first & like trash later. Seen it a million times first hand, he work in my shop & ive received one to many return for redo or touch ups. Don’t waste your money on a mediocre tattoo get in the chair with one of the better tattoo artists there. Or click my name and you can come see me.
I had a beautiful piece done by Cassandra. She had a super light hand and is highly talented! Cassandra was super sweet and took her time on my tattoo to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. I will be back there for future tattoos and I 10/10 recommend this place. It’s full of amazing talented artists! Oh and the front desk Becca was very helpful at the check in process. Atmosphere Tattoo is hands down the best in the area.
5 star- amazing experience from the time your greeted to when you leave. Professional, clean, modern, atmosphere raises the bar for what a tattoo shop should be. Received an amazing tattoo/ piece of art by Claude. Phenomenal tattoo artist and person, look no further if you want to be treated with respect and want only the best tattoo and experience you can get.
Kris their piercer was so friendly and talked me through everything he was doing. After he handled all my piercings he even removed an old one that Chi Town Tattoo had done 8+ years ago that looked awful. I look forward to going back for my next piercings and referring my friends!
This place is by far the best shop I have ever been to! They have helped me in more ways then one! Cassandra has been my tattoo godmother and I’m forever grateful! Highly highly recommend!
Chris Toms is great! I am getting my 3rd piece by him done next Saturday and I cant wait. He is super talented and offers a chill experience and great art work for a sweet and reasonable price!
Went for my triples & my friend did her septum..... were in love!!!!
Amazing Shop!!!! Cant wait till my next appointment.
Went in for my very first tattoo with Sean. This place is clean, professional, and they were all friendly and helpful! Definitely a great place to go if youre nervous about your first tattoo (like me). High fives all around!
I came all the way here from Round Lake Beach, IL, after checking about getting a third eye piercing. I was told, upon entering, that they are not doing dermal piercings. However when I called them I was told they would do it. When I brought this up, I was just told, Sorry, hun.So I drove an hour and wasted gas for nothing.
Timely, courteous and well priced. We went in as a walk in and we were matched with a great artist, Sean Kim, who took our reference art and turned it in to something beautiful of his own. We could not be happier with the results. Thanks!
Absolutely LOVE the staff here! I just got a piercing today by Kris & he’s most definitely my new fav, for sure! Their shop is modern & it was a super dope atmosphere! Good vibes and the cleanliness is on point. Def new fav spot!
The concept for my tattoo is turning out better than I expected. Although I just finished my first session, the others will be amazing.
Chris Toms is amazing!!! Love his style, technique and almost painless every session. His eye for detail awesome personality always has me coming back... would never go to anyone else! Love the shop super comfy couch and Netflix and water while you wait.
I got my very first dermal at Atmosphere Tattoo with Kris! He was super professional during my consultation and helped me determine the most aesthetically pleasing spot. For the actual piercing procedure he first explained everything, which really calmed my nerves! As for the pain, I felt literally none I was absolutely shocked :) I plan on making the 2 hour drive to see him for all my future piercings. Thanks again dude !
I walked in on Sunday hoping to get a tattoo, and Chris Toms was able to put together a beautiful piece for me based on a vague description of what I was looking for. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing to consider Atmosphere :)
I have been here for piercings by Kris several times and I cant say enough about how great this place is. By far one of the cleanest tattoo shops Ive ever been in, and it is really a beautiful shop. Everyone here is really nice and friendly. Some tattoo shops can be a bit intimidating and sometimes the staff can be rude but thats never the case. They are super chill and make you feel right at home. Kris is a great piercer, he always takes his time and finds the right placement and jewelry so that Im happy with my new piercing. Hes also really funny and makes every experience memorable. I highly recommend this place, theyre the best.
Ive been to a few tattoo shops but this one is by far the best. Everyone there is super cool and the gallery is very clean!! Strongly recommend Atmosphere Tattoo Gallery !
Got my septum done by Kris today. Was nervous in the beginning of course, but Kris just made it easy-breezy. Was impressed that there was no pain at all, just some pressure and a couple of tears. Thanks, Kris!
Faith was very professional and easy to work with collaboratively. Extremely talented and knowledgeable. The shop is immaculately clean and has great tunes.
The people are awesome here and take so much time to work with you to get what you are looking for. The work done here is a cut above the rest. Come to this tattoo shop!!
A wonderful roulette of tattoo work. Either you get great art from an experienced artist, or you get pseudo professional drawings labeled as “traditional” to excuse the fact that the work is both mediocre, and uninspired. Buyer beware !
Came in today to get my sisters nose pierced & change up my tragus piercing (couldn’t get the piecing out for a year) Kris was AMAZING. Super friendly & very informative. The place was super clean & the women at the front desk were super friendly as well! Definitely would come back here to get future piercings.
I got my industrial piercing does around 2 months ago and it was such an amazing experience. Kris was so nice and made the whole experience memorable. The place is very nice, clean and all the people there are incredibly welcoming to walk ins. Honestly, can’t wait to get more piercings done there!
Got a tattoo here with Cassandra. Knowledgeable staff and good service. Price was appropriate for the size. Id go back here for my future tattoos
This place is a CLASS ACT. From the first phone call when I spoke with Cassandra it was an awesome experience. I came in with a custom design and she did a perfect job on my tattoo. I will recommend her and the rest of the artists in the place to everyone I know . Thank you so much
Great place for novices, though wish the piercing guys could do appointments.
A BIG Thank You to Mike and all the staff at Atmosphere Tattoo Gallery! My 2 daughters and I got our 1st ever tattoos today and everyone was so nice! Mike spent time with us making sure we were happy with our choices and drew them up beautifully! Were very happy with the results and will be back when we want more tattoos done.
Kris worked with me to get the exact piercings I wanted and then chatted with me afterwards until my adrenaline had died down. Great place.
Really cant say enough good things about this place! They have some amazing that have a plethora of different styles. Recently we had our 6 yo daughters ears pierced by Kris and he couldnt have been more awesome with her explaining what he was doing and why. He really made the experience great for her
Very clean and fast, great tattoo artist
I strongly recommend this shop, especially Cassandra who gave my step daughter an amazing tattoo. Shop is modern, and clean, the young girl at the counter was so friendly and helpful- she walked us thru the check in procedure, I spoke with the piercer Chris about setting up a appt for My wife, he was awesome. As well. Ok so those are the pros, onto the cons the shop manager is horrible- Im actually shocked that she is allowed to RUN this shop. Shes rude and gave us nothing but attitude because we were 10 min late. I actually wanted to get a tattoo by any artist that was available, but decided against it. Because of her. With out her and her attitude I would give this shop 5 stars. Its a shame because RUDE people suck.
Small place but the art/tats we saw looked awesome
Left deposit for a tattoo 1 month ago and still havent heard from them
My experience here was very high quality and everyone was welcoming. All of the staff knows what theyre doing and know how to be super friendly whilst still retaining professionalism. The process itself in getting a piercing or a tattoo is very simple and straightforward here. The setup is well thought out and has the best interests of the people that come here in mind. I came to get a cartilage piercing and Kris, my piercer, displayed a wealth of knowledge and care about the art of piercing. He made it a very fun experience and it was great talking to him, really is a great person and anyone in his care can be sure to expect amazing service. Highly recommend this shop to anyone whether their interest is in a piercing or a tattoo.
Love their staff! Super friendly, made us feel comfortable & did an amazing job! We got three different piercings and loved them all! Kris really made us feel comfortable & made sure if we had any questions we can go to him! Love this PLACE!
I used to drive into the city to get my piercings/jewelry but never again! this place is the best and Kris is the only one I now trust putting holes in my body!!
Amazing tattoo shop. The inside is beautiful and clean which is not always the case with a tattoo shop. The artists there are super cool and all very talented from looking at their portfolios. I’ve seen Paul and Faith a decent amount of times and they never disappoint. Highly recommend!
