Great Experience Skilled Artist Highly Recommended

I got my first tattoo tonight at Gary’s in Galena, IL. I am 62 years old and I can’t say enough about how kind and careful Sydney was with me and she did a beautiful job. I would recommend her 100%.

Tattoo Great Work Friendly Staff

My wife and I were in Galena for 4 days in July. When we walked past Gary's we thought about getting a tattoo right then! We did go in, met Gary and Ashley, the artists. and saw examples of their very good work! We went back on Thursday and got matching tattoos (maori tribal tattoos) that look absolutely marvelous. The shop had many awards and ribbons from many different tattoo events they had competed in and they are great folks. If you are in the area and contemplating a tattoo stop in; you will not be disappointed!

Friendly Staff Clean Facility Talented Artist

DeJai did my wrist tattoo last weekend and it is exactly what I wanted Everyone was super friendly and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. DeJai did an amazing job with the artwork and the tattoo hardly hurt at all. The facility is very clean and they go over their safety procedures before they even touch you. I would recommend going here to anyone that I know.

Professional Amazing job Great place Highly recommend

I got my first tatttoo at Gary's Professional Tattooing just this last week and I LOVE. IT. Gary did an amazing job, especially with the coloring and shading, as my tattoo included different colors. I am so pleased with the work that was done, and I enjoyed getting to know the staff that work there. It's a great place to go, I HIGHLY recommend it!

excellent technique beautiful tattoo work careful competent fantastic job

Gary has excellent technique as a tattoo artist and many years of experience that go into his making beautiful tattoo work. He's doing cover-ups for me of tear tattoo and some scars that I didn't want to look at any more. now I see a beautiful mum and Lotus Flower as well as cherry blossoms on my arm and no more ugly tattoo or scars. he is careful to do the work and stages allowing your skin time to heal completely before he does the next thing. I have very sensitive skin but I have not had problems at all following Gary's work.

I have also observed his colleague Zen's tattoo work and she appears to be quite competent as well. She is also excellent at doing piercings which I watched her do several of during my last tattoo sitting.

obviously the tattoo you're looking at is not finished. I need to get the cherry blossoms filled in yet and do a little more cover work. But he's done a fantastic job thus far!

Poor Quality Bad Service Waste of Money

DO NOT GET YOUR PIERCINGS HERE!!! After months and months of trying to get my piercing to heal. I finally decided to go to a piercer in my area and have it looked at. The piercer said that it was pierced COMPLETELY WRONG, with very junky quality jewelry and at an angle. He said because of the lousy job they did, IT WOULD NEVER HEAL and he recommended that I take it out before I caused permanent scarring and damage to my nose. What a waist of money! They really should have to give me my money back.
And before they can say it's something that I was doing wrong... I've since then gotten my nose repierced and have had zero issues with it !! ZERO! This place deserves to have less than one star in my book!

Poor Customer Service Unprofessional Behavior

The guy actually hung up on me. Called a competitor Emerald Budda great customer service and booked a appointment. Absolutely zero time for negative people. Don't run a business if you hang up on people advice for 22πŸ‘

Poor Service High Price Unpleasant Staff

My friend and I went in to get tattoos and I was not please. Would not give us an estimate on price until after the tattoo was done so that way we were forced to pay his ridiculous price. The person who tattoo us wasn’t very pleasant and was bossy. He also forgot to fill in my friend’s tattoo with color like we asked and still overcharged us. I would not recommend going here unless you want poor service and a high price. 0/10.
