Studio One Chicago — Attraction in West Chicago Township

I got my 2 tattoos done here. My first experience here was OK. The second time tho was terrible. I had explained to the tattoo artist exactly what I wanted. It was a name and a heart. He kept telling me the heart wasn’t going to look right the way I wanted it, not sure why it was such a big concern if it was what I WANTED. He proceeded to tatt me and then leaves the heart not filled in when I told him I wanted it filled in. He said it was because it looked better not filled in. After I told him I would much rather have it filled in, he dipped the needle in red ink (the needle still had black on it btw and no he didn’t bother to wipe the black ink off it) and still only colored it in half way because he said it would look better. He looked bothered by me telling him I wanted the heart filled in. The heart did not look red like I wanted it. It was like a maroon color and it healed a maroon color. I was so disappointed, somehow I felt violated? lol I don’t know how to explain the feeling I had. Needless to say I went to get the tattoo removed. I paid maybe $100 for it and $1500+ to remove....

My tattoo did not take ink well and maybe got a slight infection. I have over 50 hours of tattoos...never had this sort of problem. It is completely healed. My wife got the same tattoo and it looks exactly the same. Look at the state of it. I got this November 14th so it's long healed. Our artist's name was Nuco. He went over these areas twice even where he had missed spots. Not sure if that was the cause. My wife has had three new tattoos since then and none of hers look like this except this one. We will have to have a local artist re-do most of the work. We were told smaller tattoos were not able to be done where our artist could have done this four times smaller, the price was very high. $200 each for less than an hour of work. My tattoo shop locally that will fix it said it was a $75...

Manga is the man. Booked my appointment abiut one month in advance and arrived about 15 minutes early. He started the paperwork as soon as I arrived and once that was completed he proceeded to draw out the design. I'm not a chatter but was extremely quiet simply because I was nervous, this was my first time getting a tattoo. He included me in every process to make sure the design had my approval and asked for input several times. Once he placed the stencil on my arm he realized he has more room so he added more to the tattoo. Took him about one hour or so to do the tattoo and I am extremely happy with it. Cannot wait until it heals. UPDATE manga has moved to another studio check his Instagram for his...
