Good to know before you book
- Fine-line and micro work here demands a clear reference — bring high-res images and expect a short consult before the needle.
- Traditional pieces tend to be quoted by piece, not hourly. Ask for flash sheets if you want a same-week appointment.
- Larger Japanese pieces are usually booked across multiple sittings — plan for at least two visits.
- Realism and portrait work depends heavily on reference quality — clean, well-lit source photos make the biggest difference.
- Colour-heavy pieces benefit from a structured touch-up visit 4–6 weeks after healing.

Recently, I came in to add some Sabbath angels above an older tattoo on my arm. Victor handled it and knocked it out of the park, clean lines, great detail, and it ties in perfectly. He did the same Sabbath angels design on my wife’s leg, and it still looks killer to this day. A few months later, I went back and had Vic revamp my 15 year old virgin marry tattoo: touch-ups, added clouds for flow, heavy shading to blend everything seamlessly. It turned out insanely awesome way better than before, no more faded or mismatched spots. Vic’s an incredible artist precise, knows exactly what he’s doing, and makes the sessions easy. Right now, I’m working on a design with Vic to cover up another old piece and finish off my quarter sleeve on the arm. Can’t wait to see it done this March. If you’re in Chicago and want reliable, high-quality custom work from pros reach out to Vic, from Mind Crusher. His instagram is : _Victattz Highly recommend him! - Tony aka Mike with a Y
Went for a septum on a flash sale day. Even though they were too busy and ran out of clamps, I was able to get the same deal on a different day and a free piercing minus jewelry. Super friendly staff and excellent vibes. Piercings went really smoothly and feel amazing so far. And i love how good of a job he did. My piercer was Brenton, and I’ll definitely be back again soon :)
Came into the shop today after speaking to Brenton to have my 6 year old’s ears pierced. It was an amazing experience! He was great talking to her! Which helped tons with her nerves. He’s super nice! Super welcoming. She left super happy with her new look. I will definitely be coming back for the services 🖤😄
