I worked with Evelyn at Proton tattoo, she is amazing!! She really brought my idea to life and she made me feel so welcome and comfortable. I really love the new storefront, it’s clean and professional and spacious. Will only be going to Proton from here on out!

Chris did a coverup portrait of my grandmother below my clavicle bone. He made the original tattoo look like my beautiful grandmother. I now feel 100% confident in wearing a tank top again. I got a portrait of my grandmother done by a different tattoo artist (not from Proton Tattoo). When the piece was done my heart broke. My grandmother looked like she was melting. I can't thank Chris enough for "fixing" my grandma. He was very friendly, had a nice conversation, and considering the placement of the tattoo he also was very respectful. I have been back to Proton for more tattoos and highly recommend them for your next tattoo.

I got a tattoo done by grant. I'm am absolutely in love with it. The color is amazing 😍 and I love the shading also. Plus he was very gentle while doing the tattoo. The pain was tolerable and not as bad as I thought it would be. 10/10 recommend the shop and him as a artist. Everyone is super friendly and professional

Very accommodating, good work and overall awesome experience. Bicep and shoulder tattoo look as good as they did 10 years ago and hand and wrist, despite wear and tear still look solid.

Over all I loved my experience with proton, I got my second tattoo there back in august by Jeff. They environment I calm and friendly, all of the artists were patient and nice. And Jeff did such an amazing job with the tattoo. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone in the Dekalb area that wants a really nice tattoo.

I have gotten multiple tattoos from Proton, ranging from small and simple to large and detailed. Chris May is a fantastic artist and genuinely kind soul. Having a nationally renowned artist of May's caliber in the northern Illinois area is truly a blessing. When people in the Rockford/Dekalb area ask me for recommendations, Chris and Proton are ALWAYS the first names I offer.

I received a tattoo from proton and really enjoyed my experience there. The shop is very nice, comfortable, welcoming, and clean. Everyone there is friendly. It is the only tattoo shop I will go to now in DeKalb because of this experience. Erin Boyle was my artist and she did a great job!

I chose to go to proton for my first tattoo on my 18th birthday because after looking at other reviews, I wanted to give it a shot and have my first tattoo memorable and the staff was very nice and my artist walked me through the steps of what she was going to do next so that I wasn’t so nervous. She checked up on me all throughout giving me the tattoo. Highly recommend!
