Just got an industrial piercing and it went so quicy and the outcome was amazing. I got there early and had little wait time. Loved the experience and everyone was very thorough in making sure I knew what was happening and when. Staff was amazing!

Just went for the second time for a piercing and I couldn't be happier. I now couldn't imagine going anywhere else. Bob Jones is amazing! Friendly, efficient and respectful. I highly recommend going to Insight for your next piercing.

I am 16 and I got my nose pierced here. I had to wait two hours because they only have one piercer and he was so rude. He gave me a stud that Slid right out every two seconds. He rolled his eyes when I asked him a question about the piercing. It was terrible. They didn’t even give me anything to clean it with because they were out! I’m never going back here.

Professional. Clean. Reasonably priced. Another studio wanted to charge over $300 to Pierce my teen's ears. Insights did a great job. Follow up visit s we're included in price.

I've only seen one artist here, Chris Orta, but he's superb. Reception is great and approachable, all the artists seem to get along and push each other to always improve. Clean, bright, everything you need from a shop.

Went in the other day for a new jewel for my philtrum piercing. When picking out the jewelry the front desk person was really confused and kept forgetting which color I was asking for and I had to remind him several times that I wanted the “indigo” color. He ended up putting in “teal” anyway, and I didn’t realize until I got home in better lighting that I had received a different color than the one I picked out. When I called the next afternoon to inform them of the mistake, the piercer was very defensive and told me that I was wrong. When trying to clarify he called me “aggressive” but agreed that I can come in and get it switched to the correct color. Upon coming back to the store I was told immediately that I was in the wrong and that the piecercer and the owner even “checked the cameras” to make sure I was in the wrong, as if this was a situation of theft. The work they did was overall a decent quality but the piercers attitude made feel very criminalized and attacked, and as a Black woman I certainly won’t return here.

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.

Ahhhhh!!! I got my first tattoo!!! Ahhhh!!!
I'm really happy with my experience at Insight Studios. I had been seriously contemplating a tattoo for the last month and I didn't just want to go anywhere to get it. Thanks to Yelp, I found Insight!
This past weekend, I told myself I had to just go in and get it done. I walked in about 3pm on Saturday and there were only a couple of people in there. The front desk woman was very nice and told me immediately who I'd be paired with after I told her I was getting my first tattoo which would be script of 4 words, which were lyrics to one of my favorite songs by the band Grizzly Bear, on my ribs. I just didn't know what font I wanted.
She handed me an iPad that was already on a website with a million fonts. I knew I wanted more of a handwritten script. As I was going through the site, I felt myself get more and more nervous, but excited!
Jason, the tattoo artist that was taking me, checked up on me a few times. After the first couple I asked him his opinion of the fonts I chose and he was very honest with his answers about whether or not the letters would be too close to one another, or too small, etc. After what seemed like 30 minutes, I finally chose a font. It was go time!
Jason prepped his area and I noticed how CLEAN and bright the entire space was. Everything he was using he was unwrapping for the first time. I work in the healthcare industry, so it was just as hygienic as a clinic!
He set me up at his table and when I was prepped and ready, he said, "Alright, here we go!". I swear it took him less than 10 minutes to complete the job. Not gonna lie, because it was on my ribs, there were some parts of it that were definitely painful, but it was bearable and Jason was really cool about the whole thing.
I read in other reviews that the prices here are a little on the high side, but I will say it was less than I expected to pay. I'm so, so, so, so in love with my tattoo! Jason was awesome, Insight is awesome. I highly recommend this place, especially for first timers!
