This shop was referred to me by a coworker from 5 years ago. I started my own sleeve with the owner, Joe, back in 2019. He worked with me to make my vision come true. We completed my sleeve over the course of two years, and about 4 sessions about 4-6 hours in length. The artists all specialize in different styles. The shop is clean, and their logo is dope. Highly recommend to anyone in Lake/McHenry county- and they’ve got a shop in Chicago now. Check em out.

TJ was awesome! Made sure everything was sterilized, talked me through the whole process, & was quick! Super friendly & funny too. I could tell he was experienced because it barely hurt! Would recommend him for piercings!

TJ is fantastic! I got my septum pierced by him a few weeks ago and the whole experience was wonderful. He is very friendly, made sure to explain each step as he went, and made sure that I was comfortable the whole time. Won’t be going to anyone else for future piercings!

I had 2 four hour long sessions with Joe and have never had a better experience getting tattoed! The staff was all very friendly and so helpful. Joe himself was so awesome; he made me laugh a lot which was a nice changeup from my usual casual conversation I've had at other tattoo shops. He made sure I was comfortable and frequently asked how I was doing and if I needed a break. The tattoo Joe gave me was so brilliantly done! My sister and I both have gotten work done here and will surely be returning!

After traveling back and forth to my usual spot in the city after moving to the burbs… I took a chance on Dark Heart and wish I had done it much sooner. I’ve been to multiple artists and have had nothing less than amazing experiences. & now they offer piercings, it’s perfect.

Had the best experience at Dark Heart! Felt that I was in good hands & respected. Very talented artists who make you feel comfortable & at home. Will be going back to see Dani for more ink

We love this shop! Best artists and tattoo work done in the area. Your work of art (ie, your body) is not complete without a tattoo from Dark Heart. Friendly, professional, clean, everything you’d want from a tattoo shop. They also have the best merch to rock when the tattoos are hidden.

I went in just shopping for an artist to do some Celtic designs. I found the shop very welcoming, clean, and had a positive vibe. After I talked about what I was looking for, I was introduced to Kyle Gibbs. I explained what I was looking for in an artist to create tattoos from my ideas. When I showed him a tattoo design based on my Irish Name written in Ogham (Celtic) he wanted to do it right then. We talked all during the tattoo session. He was great. The line work is spot one. I am very impressed with his work. He will be the artist to do the remainder of my Celtic designs.

I have a theory that the only reason my wife thinks I’m attractive is because of the sleeve I got from here. Thanks DH🖤
