7 Day Gallery Tattoo & Art Gallery

"7 day gallery is the only place I will go period. Matt is an unbelievable artist and always exceeds my expectations. I got a tattoo from Matt 7 years ago and went back a few weeks ago for some more work. His attention to detail and shading is second to none and he is an all around professional and stand up guy. These guys are the best in the Business. Thanks Matt!"

"I do not recommend going here for piercings especially with Matthew. If I could give this a -10 star I would. To start I came here for a helix piercing January 6th. When me and my sister first walked into the shop, Matthew had a slight attitude, but I wasn’t sure if that was intentional or just his personality. Either way do better. Immediately after he pierced my ear, my ear started to feel hot.. Then, when he was piercing my sisters ear he had to redo it about 3 times with blood squirting out of her ear. Very disturbing….and seemed as though he didn’t really know what he was doing. After he finished both of our piercings, I was told to keep cleaning my piercing (which I did follow the instructions given to me verbally before I left the shop). But the following day or 2, my ear started to swell abnormally even with keeping up with the saline sprays and icing it throughout the day to bring the swelling down. My ear continued to swell day by day worsening even with contacting Matthew for advice to fix this as I wasn’t sure if my ear was rejecting the piercing or an infection. I came in about 4 days later so that Matthew could check on my swollen piercing and he’d said switching to a longer bar should help with this. When he did this procedure is probably what made my ear worsen into an infection. My ear continued to swell abnormally the next few days causing me headaches and lots of pain/discomfort to the point where I had to go to urgent care to see what was going on. I then was told by the doctor to remove the piercing because the swelling/infection was that bad. I contacted Matthew about this as well and I didn’t get a response. Very unprofessional. I have now been on antibiotics because of this piercing almost 2 weeks…. Still in lots of pain. Please do yourself some due diligence and don’t get piercings by Matthew. Stick to your specialty.. tattoos. And please work on your sanitation skills.This is ridiculous."

"Just moved here from SC and have had trouble finding good artists that are worth the money up here in Chicago! Any artist at this shop will do your tattoos justice, Scuba got me in ASAP and brought my idea to life perfectly. Not to mention the price was WELL worth the money. Nothing but good things to say about him and 7 Day Gallery. Won’t be going anywhere else, even if I move back to the south one day."

"Matt is an amazing artist. He covered up a color piece on my arm with a black and gray piece that looks awesome!! I get compliments on it ALL the time! He is my artist for life!!"
