Dekalb Tattoo Company

"Went in today with my sister for her to get a piercing & ended up getting some jewelry changed myself too. Justin was great! I would drive 2 hours to have him change it again. Everyone else working there was super friendly too."

"Beautiful space and the staff is delightful, professional and helpful. I was inspired to get a nose piercing and that was the most professional, safe and educational experience I ever had. 5 days later and my nose is healthy and I absolutely love my new jewelry. I’m coming back for more body decor and highly recommend this space for their awesome services. 10 out of 10!!"

"I have been to the DTC three separate times now, and each experience has been the most comfortable and welcoming tattoo/piercing experiences I have ever had! My first time there was back in December of 2021, when I got my lobes re-pierced by Cas (@cassiespiercings). I had them previously done at a Walmart with a piercing gun when I was like 12, and they had closed up. Cas helped assure me that there was no damage to my lobes from the previous experience, and took a lot of time to be extra sure that I was comfortable and ready for the experience. It was super quick, super easy, and a 10/10 for me! My next time visiting was in April of 2023, where I got a large outer-arm tattoo by Brooke (@brooketaylortattoo). This is a very personal piece for me that I gave Brooke a little creative freedom with, and she designed the most beautiful and impactful piece for me ever. She was super easy to talk to and was so sweet with all of the questions I had and making sure I was comfortable! The tattoo she did for me is still my most complimented piece to this day! My most recent visit was in November 2023, where I got a flash piece done by Aiden (@queerwitchtattoo). They took the time to re-draw the flash and double checked everything with me several times before we started! They also helped explain the process of color tattoos (as this is the first color piece I have gotten), and helped me understand more of the science behind tattoos which was really cool! They also made me feel very comfortable and taken care of during the appointment and since! I have messaged them several times on instagram about the healing process of this piece since it has been different from my others due to the color, and they always answer quickly, and with the most care! I always appreciate their continued help:) Special shout-out to Ping (@warmtowelette) for also being incredibly sweet the last time I was in getting tattooed by Aiden, because I was laying down with a perfect view of the TV in their space, which was turned on for their client. But even after their client was finished, Ping adjusted the TV so I could see it better and turned on the subtitles so I could keep watching during the remainder of my appointment! This is a great example of how supportive everyone is at DTC, and how comfortable they all will make you feel! Super welcoming, super friendly, and the care they provide is truly exceptional! I HIGHLY recommend coming here!!"

"The most welcoming tattoo/pierce shop you'll ever go to. The artists are incredibly kind and talented, and the shop itself has an unexpectedly calm, chill vibe that you don't expect at a tattoo place! This is a long overdue review, I got a tattoo here last summer and it has healed up beautifully. I absolutely love it (thanks, Brooke!!)"

"I have been going to DeKalb Tattoo for almost a year now and can only speak highly of my experiences. All staff are kind, welcoming, and work hard to create a safe environment. Getting body modifications can be scary and of course painful, so the positive attitude shared by all staff goes so far for any client. Truly a wide variety of talent in the studio, so it’s now my go-to for any piercing or tattoo style I want in the future!"
