Logan Square Tattoo

I booked an appointment with Gifford, the owner, for my first tattoo and had nothing but a great experience from start to finish! I had a general idea and concept but wasn't sure exactly what to expect - he did a great job answering all my questions and walking me through the process during the consultation. His design ended up being way better than anything that I had in my head - his artistic talent is amazing.

I wanted to go big for my first one and was incredibly nervous, but Gifford went out of his way to make me as comfortable as possible - even bringing out a space heater when I got cold during my coloring session without me asking. I never felt like I was an inconvenience. I was always encouraged to speak up if I needed to, but I rarely had to - Gifford was clearly in tune with how I was doing and genuinely seems to value a positive client experience.

All the other artists I interacted with were also incredibly kind and supportive, the art on the walls was cool to look at, and the music was great. The ambiance was really calming, positive, and bright. It was obvious that everyone else - client and artist - was treated with the same level of respect that I was. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Excited for my next one!

I recently got a tattoo here from Jeremy. As I was telling him, a big part of a tattoo for me is the experience and he made it an enjoyable experience. He had a laid back, empathetic, and joke around style which made interactions easy.

The vibe of the shop is chill and the other artists there were cool and welcoming when I checked in a bit early to confirm and throughout. Since I was a bit early, and totally new to the area, (came in from WI) I wandered around and ate at The Whale up the street. I’d highly recommend that place, too and the vegan pulled pork sandwich was legit.

Came back and sorted out the sizing, placement, and other specifics. Jeremy even let me get emo for a minute about all my life issues that precipitated me needing some tattoo therapy.

Once the needle hit the skin he worked pretty quickly and out came a very good portrait of my multepoo pooch, Maggie. High fived and on my way out got a cherry lambic ale from the boutique liquor store in the adjacent building. Then ubered back to the hotel. I’m sure I’ll be back for more work.

Overall 10/10 tattoo experience and outcome, would recommend.

I have gotten three pieces from two different artists at this location and have never been disappointed.

Carlos, who worked on the keyblades, has (probably) the softest hands in the business and some seriously great talent with minor details and line-work.

The leg piece was done by guest artist @el.moyz on Instagram when he was in Chicago, and I could not count myself more lucky for getting to work with him.

Aside from great works, they have great conversations that normally involve the other artists chiming in and sharing a good laugh or two. Lst has a barber shop feel unique to really good parlors.

Never thought I'd have a reoccurring parlor I'd visit, but I'm happy to say Logan Square Tattoo is claiming that title. Can't wait to come back for my next piece!

Do you want a tattoo made by the descendent ancient disciples of the Helen Keller and Stevie Wonder School of Tattoo and Bodily Arts? Then look no further. This place has everything.

Laughable talent at an even more laughable price. There may be talent in those walls- but we didn't find it. Thomas Christopher, and for that matter the owner as well, produce scratcher work at high end prices. The young neighborhood has fueled their absolutely delusional concept of how tattoos should work. If you want quality at a reasonable price- find yourself another shop. 10/10 for the floor manager who adeptly handled my poor attitude at the awful service- at least there's that. Please, for the sake of your sanity avoid places that are blind to poor work for the sake of saving face. Tattoo was -over worked -crooked -uneven -over priced -unfinished (which is wild considering it was less than 4 inches) 15 minutes of tattooing for 350 dollars- what a deal ! With love, Saturn



I had a great experience at Logan Square Tattoo. The space is clean and inviting, and the staff is laid back, friendly, and knowledgeable. Kel is an incredible artist who manages to balance client input, professional expertise, and personal style perfectly. This is the second tattoo I’ve gotten from her, and both times she was patient and thorough walking me through the process and delivered an amazing result. It was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend Logan Square Tattoo to anyone looking to get some work done.

Just got done receiving a couple tattoos from a visiting artist and wanted to review the shop because I was so impressed with the cleanliness and professionalism of the entire staff. I was happy to see the shop maintaining a mask policy, and everyone complying without any issue. Will be back to get more art done!

I came from Indiana to get tattooed by Gifford. I gave him artistic freedom and couldn't be more happy with what he came up with. The design fit perfectly with what I already had on my arm and Gifford was super nice through the whole process. The shop is extremely clean and the vibe was chill. I would definitely go to LST again.

A wonderful tattoo shop with many talented artists. It was my first tattoo and Kel Tait helped me along the entire way. She was patient in answering all of my questions and does incredible work. I felt totally at ease in the shop throughout the entire process with the laid back atmosphere. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for quality work!

Got my very first tattoo here and I couldn't be more pleased!!! This beautiful butterfly was tatted by the lovely Travis and he did such a great job!! It's cute af. I am very particular and we spent 30 minutes going back and forth making sure the size, design and placement were all perfect. I'm so appreciative that he really took the time with me to make sure my tattoo was perfect for me! Will totally come here again if I decide someday to get another tattoo. Come see Travis!!

Awesome tattoo shop! I came in from Pittsburgh to get a tattoo from Kel Tait and I was blown away by the design and how it was perfectly translated onto my skin. Kel is an extremely skilled and diligent artist who kindly worked with my limited time and did a ~6 hour single session for my thigh piece. Everyone else at the shop was super fun and nice too. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing tattoo, I wish I lived in Chicago so I could get more!
