Speakeasy Custom Tattoo

The quality of work here is far beyond average or anything I expected! I love the fact that each piece is original, the process to find the right artist for your tattoo is very important.
I was fortunate to have buddy beans for my tattoo, talented and so kind. buddy gave me the most beautiful tattoo that is a tribute to my pets, and flowers I love. I receive so many compliments on the work.
The space itself is cool, clean and comfortable. I’ll be getting more tattoos in the near future. Can’t wait!!

I had a pretty terrible green phoenix tattoo on my forearm that went pretty much from my elbow to my wrist. HATED it. So I contacted Patrick to ask about doing a cover tattoo, and I'm so glad I did!
Went in for a consult first, then booked an appointment. When I went in for my appointment the design Patrick had made for me based on my likes/dislikes was spot on! Took two sessions, and not only is my ugly phoenix gone, but I finally feel proud of my body art. So so happy, the entire process was easy and professional - zero complaints! Thank you Patrick!

Their guest artist, Sera, was amazing! I love the ambiance and the style of the place. They had pre-made candy bags and water ready to go. Hope to come here to get tatted by an in house artist next time!

Despite my unfortunate situation with Gadiel; I would in fact, recommend this place to anyone looking to get a tattoo. Ive actually been hesitant to write a review since I usually don’t like giving any business any negative feedback but I hope this is taken in a constructive manner for future clients as that’s all my intention is. It has been about a month and I have sadly never received an explanation or maybe even an apology for what happened. I would’ve really appreciated some sort of professionalism from Gady considering his background but I suppose he’s too busy, and that’s okay. Overall, everyone here was very friendly/welcoming and there is no denying that every artist here has some serious skill and talent. My experience was actually great up until I discovered by happenstance that my “custom designed/unique” tattoo that I waited over a year for was actually uninspiringly copied and pasted from an Israeli tattoo artists Instagram page. Beyond feeling a little scammed, the shop itself is great and from what I saw, everyone there is very talented. I really would’ve liked to establish a relationship with Mr. Mercado/the shop for my other tattoos I have planned. I guess the only thing I would urge others to do is their due diligence and making sure their designs are what they claim to be.

I could not be happier with my art work I got done by Joby yesterday. I also have to say this studio is spotless! They are taking all the necessary precautions to keep everyone safe. Everything was very clean and I saw nonstop sanitizing. I absolutely felt safe getting my tattoo and I’ll definitely be back to your studio soon!

Clean professional shop with great artist! My artist buddy, has done some amazing work on my leg and upper arm. Appointment only for most if not all artist.

The best experience I’ve had guest spotting at another studio. The shop is run well, everyone is welcoming, and the vibes are good.

The amount of talent and knowledge this shop has is incredible. You cannot put a price to match the experience and hard work these artists have. I’ve been going to brigitta for almost a year and a half now. Over that time she has become more than just my tattoo artist, but a friend now. Her work and conversation we have had is invaluable. She has made my journey, emotion, and life come to light on my body and that’s something I’m forever grateful for. I cannot speak highly enough about speakeasy custom and their staff. If you’re looking for an artist to put your trust in, look no further. I haven’t seen a single person walk to the mirror after their tattoo is done without a huge smile on their face. Thank you so much for everything, guys! I appreciate you!

One of my favorite tattoo shops with some very talented artists in the Chicago land area! Crystal left the shop who did my arm. Gady is absolutely amazing and did my last piece on my calf. Very creative individuals who put my visions to life. Clean, fun, and cozy shop.

Love it here! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. My session was about 5hrs long, Gade was patient with me throughout the whole process. Not to mention his work is absolutely amazing. He was able to cover up an old tattoo with the design I wanted, just couldn’t be happier with the whole process. Definitely will be coming back soon!
