My best friend and I are here to visit and wanted to get matching tattoos together. Neither of us had any tattoos before this and we had worries. We saw Great Lakes on google and it was close to where we were staying so we walked in we immediately were talked to about what we wanted, they got it drawn up we signed some papers, and they started tattooing us in 20 minutes. Brandon was our guy and he was nothing but patient with because we wanted to make sure it was just right. He did an excellent job and was a very nice guy. 10/10 reccomend this place!

I walked in late on a Saturday to get my first tattoo. I had no plan on what I wanted at all. I just knew I wanted one. I chose some flash done by Mario Desa. Mike Dalton tattooed me and it was the best first tattoo experience I could have asked for. I was comfortable and everyone was very friendly. It was a decent sized piece on my thigh and Mike did it pretty quickly. It turned out fantastic and the healing process has been very smooth. Since then I have looked through some of Mike's flash on Instagram and I am super excited to go back and get more work done by Mike. From what I have seen and from other people's testimonies of the shop, every artist there is more than capable at what they do and they truly love to tattoo. I highly recommend Great Lakes Tattoo. Also thank you Mike for staying a little after close to finish my tattoo. I truly appreciate it.

Absolutely love this place! Hubby and I were walk-ins (only half impulsive) and Great Lakes was amazing. We both have a few tattoos already and wanted to add a little something- well, in my case, a bigger something. Erik is super talented and incredibly kind. We will definitely return!

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.

Got my wedding ring tattood on here last week. Mike up front was great and helpful, and Nick who did the ink was professional and friendly. I'd come back here for my next tattoo!
