The family that inks together, links together. Just like your mama said, "Cleanliness is next to godliness," but there's no need for a white glove test at Family Tattoo – it sparkles. Artists can reproduce a design or riff on an idea (on paper first, of course) so you can be sure of wearing something completely unique. Happy clients with striking designs are all the PR this parlor needs.

One supposes that in the inky world of tattoo art, having the moniker "infamous" is more fitting than merely "famous" – like the difference between Hunter S. Thompson and a Kardashian. Other welcome characteristics, that the Wicker Park studio possesses in spades, are incredible attention of detail in design, keeping the client comfortable during the deed and offering the aforementioned at a nice price.

This Noble Square spot employs creative artists in its squeaky clean studio but also goes beyond by reaching out to the community and getting involved in various fundraisers – good stewards of the craft and humans inhabiting the 'hood. That the staff is welcoming, kind and determined makes complete sense given its empathic ways. Expect to be treated with respect in terms of professionalism and artistry whether it's your first ink experience or you're practically a walking piece of art.
