Skin Gallery Tattooing & Body Piercing

stay out of Plainfield is a much better choice.Too many convicted felons own shops..They don't do back ground checks...aka mikey l

If your looking for a tattoo and or piercing, stay away from downers grove all together

I would not recommend SG to anyone now that all the best have left. I highly recommend doing your research and going elsewhere for your own safety and for the better quality of the work you will receive.

DO NOT GO HERE!!

First off let me say I've been going to this shop for nearly 10+ years and have sent friends and family here as well. unfortunately, kenny and bear who always did our piercings are no longer here. I have been getting tattooed by Mikey for nearly 5 years now and have plenty of large scale work and will not go to anyone else. this past year when coming into the shop i would hear the artists talking about the owner and didn't think anything of it until my last appointment which had to be rescheduled due to the power being shut off. its unfortunate being a place that i grew up at! i will follow Mikey and the piercers elsewhere.

Ended up with a tattoo that is NOT at all like what I wanted - it's more like what the tattoo artist wanted. When I called to get it touched up - the guy acted like he was sooooo busy and wasn't sure when he could fit me in. I'll be getting it fixed somewhere else - thanks for nothing!

I've never personally been tatted or pierced here but, I've seen a lot of work done on a lot of my friends. The artists here do amazing work! When I get more ink I will be going here :)

I got a tattoo done here years ago by rob and eloise along with a few others. I'm going to start off with saying if it wasn't for the other new artists there (mikey and Joe Real) i would have not went back. My tattoos from rob and eloise look really bad and was going to go somewhere else to get them fixed but some friends went to skin gallery recently and got really nice bright tattoos! i was amazed and asked who did them and they said joe. I was trying to look on the website (which was not of help and should be addressed) so decided to stop in. Joe ended up reworking the whole tattoo that eloise did and made it gorgeous!! the tattoo doesn't even look real! (in a good way) I was so happy with the result i went back to have him fix another but he was busy and that was when i met mikey. He sat down with me and said this is what we can and cant do and was very patient with me and once finished it was amazing! he told me he would make it look like a sticker and he was absolutely right! Kris is also a great piercer and i have always went here for piercings! In the end I give skin gallery 5 stars because of the end result. I would not recommend going to eloise or rob but go to joe, mikey, and kris! there color of there tattoos look amazing and don't fade like the rest!

A friend of mine made an appointment to get a tattoo- this was in celebration of her birthday. The appointment was for the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. A few days before the appointment, my friend met with the artist and gave him a picture of what she wanted. We showed up on Saturday at the time of the appointment only to find a sign on the door that they had decided to close for Memorial Day weekend. We could not believe how unprofessional this was. They didn't even bother calling her to cancel. Luckily, we were able to go somewhere else where the service was impeccable, and they were able to help her get exactly what she wanted. Maybe business is so good for Skin Gallery that they don't have to worry about professionalis, customer service, maintaining appointments and good will, or making money. That being said, I would recommend that you go somewhere for your tattoos where they actually want your business. This isn't it.

I went to get a tattoo of my cat. I was just looking for a black cat image to have as a reminder. Rob asked for a photo and duplicated like a copy machine! It was great. I am so happy!!

This was my first tattoo. They did a great job. I really had a great experience. It was clean friendly ang knowledgeable.

They did a great job on my piercing. If you are looking to have a piercing done with a sterile needle and a precise hole without infections or enlarged holes then this is the place to get it done. The prices aren't unreasonable and the staff are helpful. Chris is the name of the person who did my eyebrow and since looking online and hearing horrible stories about piercings I am glad I got it done by him.

This place is great. I got my industrial piercing done there. It was great. The guy was nice and it was clean. It was quick. it was my second piercing and I'm 15. He definitely made me feel comfortable. I will definitely go back there again!
