i went in for a tattoo of my dogs paw print. Ashley was my tattoo artist and she told me it would be perfect. Well it wasn’t. she lied to me and said it would be the exact same paw print as what i gave to her but it’s not. it looks like a standard paw print that they would do all the time. do not ever go to ashley. she just wants the money she doesn’t care what you
get done. this tattoo has meant so much to
me and she ruined it.

I have had several tattoos done at Dark Heart by several of their artists and I have walked away happy every time. Not only are they all very talented but very professional and the shop is very clean. Definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a tattoo.

I’ve been coming to Dark Heart Tattoo for years and will continue for all future work. I’ve worked with Joe, Chuy, and Ashley. Each take the time to listen your input and combine it with their creativity to make a unique piece for every customer. The shop is always clean and everyone is more than willing to help with whatever your tattoo needs may be.

Walking into this shop I knew I'd found my people. Kyle poked a triceratops skull into my arm and was really good about making sure I was comfortable. Check out their art and MAKE AN APPOINTMENT!!!

Over the moon about my experience today! They take walk ins and give you a nice time estimate to when they can start on you, so in the mean time I got to explore the adorable downtown of Crystal Lake. Extremely well kept, wonderful atmosphere and staff. But I am really here to talk about how wonderful Chuy is. He went above and beyond all my expectations, told him what I wanted and he was able to give me exactly what I envisioned! This tattoo was very special to me and he absolutely nailed it!

After moving from California where I had a great tattoo artist with whom I'd had over 30 cumulative hours of work by, I didn't think I'd ever find a place I'd love as much. I am ELATED with Dark Heart Tattoo!!! Not only was the shop easy to find, it was spotless inside, and everyone that I've spoken with has been down to Earth, professional and knowledgeable. They all seem to have a genuine love for their trade! I had my piece done by Mark and it is now hands down my favorite tattoo! He packed an incredible amount of detail in a small space and the heavy line work is utterly perfect. I would give them more than 5 stars all around if I could.

I have been going to Dark Heart for a long time now. I won't go anywhere else for my tattoos. My side piece was done here and looks amazing and bright as it was the day I got it. Everyone is super nice and welcoming.

I've been to many places getting tattoos for 7 years and I think I've finally found a home. Chuy gave me a pretty awesome tattoo yesterday and I highly recommend him. They all seem like nice, very talented people. I read some of the bad reviews (there's not many) and they all complain about price which is bogus because they are very affordable for GOOD work. And they also complain about the artist doing their 'own thing'. Here's an idea, if you don't want your artist to have free range of their artistic abilities..... use your words and tell them!
Highly recommended shop.

Great shop, talented artists, awesome staff. I really appreciate their attention and commitment to safety during Covid. It makes me feel safe to continue coming to get tattooed!
