Blue Island Review

Ian is the greatest
I highly recommend him
He s really professional and after 2 years my tatto still look pretty and I get so many compliments
Thank you Ian

Ine Did my tattoo he'll be my tattoo artist until I decide when to much is enuff.. Dude raw.period

Boots gave me my favorite tattoo. I appreciate his diligent work and professionalism.

Ian is great! He did my half sleeve a few years ago at his old shop and freehanded most of it! it s still very vibrant in color. He also did some roses on my thigh that I LOVE! Very easy going and easy to talk too. His work is amazing.

The piercer, Ian, was absolutely amazing. He made sure I was doing ok, explained what was going on, and had a conversation with me and my friend throughout the process. I got my tragus and my rook done and the placement is good. I would highly recommend him. It was a great experience

I have followed Ian through out his artistic career for the past 13 years and I can attest to his growth as a Tattoo Artist. His diversity in tattooing is what I believe makes him a unique tattoo artist. He is not afraid to cover up a tattoo that others are not willing to do. He does everything from large black and grey pieces to color pieces to script! He is willing to put in lots of long hours and give the client a tattoo that they are truly happy with. His over 15 years of tattoo experience on dark skin and piercing clients is what sets him apart. Visit @victorytat2 on Instagram for his full portfolio!

Ian did my tattoo I absolutely love it it has a powerful meaning... Also shop is nice in clean with nice workers.

I don t have work done by them yet but I follow all the artist and love the work they have done! Sent many people to check them out and lots of friends got work done and it looks great!

Loveeeeeeee Brittany and her work!! I have ten pieces all done by her....so glad I stumbled upon this shop :)

Aztek ink has been the best tattoo shop that I have ever been to. Carlos Ortiz did my latest tat and he did an excellent job!!! Love it! He was super professional, made me feel so comfortable and made me laugh. I also have had Boots do a tattoo for me and he was great as well. Shop is very clean and has plenty of parking. I definitely will be coming back to Aztek!! Thank you Carlos!!!!

Got a small portrait tattoo on a knuckle. Great tattoo shop. Carlos is crazy talented. Worth every penny.

Got my nose periced good service and very fast will go back for a tattoo

Amazing work! Carlos is the greatest and I will forever go to him for my work! He did an amazing cover up/ half sleeve for me better than i ever imagined. In the process of a leg piece right now and cannot wait until it's all finished! Absolutley recommend Aztek to anyone looking for incredible work done!

This place is awesome. Boots was awesome to work with. Listened to every idea and made sure I was going to like what i got. He definitely overachieved.

I always have the best experience at Aztek Ink! They are professional, knowledgeable, great customer service, and clean. They were able to take my idea and make it even better.

I am very content with the service and quality provided by Carlos! Staff members are attentive with their clients and each other. I highly recommend getting your next tattoo here!

There artists do amazing work and are perfectionists with there craft.

I got my first tattoo yesterday I freaking love Brittany Work amazing job I will be back real soon

Great service and very knowledgeable tattoo artists

Amazing artists , great atmosphere, very clean , very professional , overall an amazing experience for me , would recommend to anybody trying to get a tattoo or piercing

Best tattoo I ve gotten hands down! Loved the place booked with Ian he is amazing

Brittany is my tattoo artist! I was in her chair getting two different pieces within 8 days of each other. They are two of my favs out of all the ones I have! Can t wait to get more.

Boots did an amazing job on a chest piece for me. Very realistic!

Great experience! Very professional and clean. Definitely recommended.

Hands down best place I've ever gotten tattooed. Clean, friendly, and amazing work. Brittany was fantastic and I definitely plan on coming back for a new piece soon.

This shop has so many talented and professional artists in it, and it's also very well kept and hygienic. They're very fair about pricing and will work with you to ensure you're getting exactly what you want and more.

Place is great, I ve had two tattoos there & nothing but good things everytime definitely a place to go when you want the best!

Got everything I wanted in my tattoo by a great artist Ian, for a nice price.

Absolutely stunning work by a master thanks again Boots

Ian is an absolutely amazing artist! Absolutely love my latest piece. You ve gotta go see him!

Love the atmosphere. Very clean. Brittany showed me various sizes for my art pieces and helped me decide what was best.

I ve been working with Carlos on an upper sleeve for the last month, and it has turned out amazing! He absolutely killed it.

The entire experience, from setting the appointment to the consult to the sessions, has been outstanding. The crew is professional and welcoming, and the shop is clean and comfortable.

Every artist here is outstanding. No matter what kind of tattoo you re looking for, they ve got you covered!

Carlos at Aztek Ink has done an amazing job on my tattoo. I can't wait to go back to get more work done. Best tattoo experience from start to finish. Carlos helped take my idea to the next level and executed it better then I imagined.

This is definitely the place you want to go to get work done. All of the artist are amazing, But i would definitely recommend Carlos. His work is beyond this world, his Portraits are so realistic. anything he dose always puts a spin on it. his artistic ability is incredible. Always satisfied with all his work.

This shop is top notch! Friendly, and bad ass and one most important is very very CLEAN! Carlos is one bad ass tattoo artist! I will never go anywhere else!

Went here with a friend for their tattoo! super polite and very assertive to walk ins. Ian did the tattoo and he had so much patience! Great place and very clean! The whole staff is very nice and fun but professional.

Let me start by stating that this was my very first tattoo! This shop is the only place I will ever get tattooed. I live in Florida now and I'm coming back to get my tattoo done here so that should tell you how high my trust is with Aztek! Everyone here is so talented and so good at what they do! I wouldn't hesitate to get tattooed by anyone here! Carlos is amazing to work with! I am getting tattooed by Britney in December and haven't worked with her before but she immediately started the design process and listened to everything i wanted and created something so amazing! I am beyond excited to get it done. Everyone here is a pleasure to work with! I recommend them to everyone! You won't regret it! The work speaks for itself!

This place was so clean and I had a touch up they took me right away prices are reasonable and the tattoo turned out perfect!!! I will go back in the future and recommend everyone to them thank Ian you were great!!!!

Rated one of CHICAGO'S BEST TATTOO SHOPS!
ALL TIME BEST PEOPLE TATTOOING,WITH BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE,CLEAN SHOP AND YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!!

I can t recommend this place enough. Every artist in there has next level talent! I ve gotten 2 pieces from two different artists. Couldn t be happier with both of them. From the the consultation to the final dip of the gun these artists make you feel like they re tattooing their favorite design on you. The talent in this shop is off the charts.

Carlos is cool and awesome artist. He did my upper arm and it is insane! Such a nice and friendly crew with real skills. I did a full day session and we only have a bit left, but I am definitely doing another full day just to get some more stuff done!

Professional tattoo studio. Brittany did an amazing job. Thank you

Was visiting family in Chicago and wanted to get a Chicago tattoo that incorporate a couple of elements. Met with Carlos and talked about it, and got a cost estimate.
He set me up with an appointment with Ian the next day.
I met Ian and told him what I had in mind, he came back with a couple of ideas, and I chose one.
We chatted while he worked on it, and it came out great. Carlos checked in from time to time and checked progress.
I love this tattoo! Just what I wanted.

Been here about 4 times with Boots! He s awesome and they re very clean! Love all my tattoos!

I went and got a tattoo about two weeks ago. Brittany was super professional and friendly! Even though it wasn t my first tattoo she made sure she explained the healing process and what she was doing. She was super nice the entire visit and even followed up via email to make sure my tattoo was healing well! I ll be back to see her soon!

Amazing tattoo shop with fantastic artist! Got recommended by family friends. My mom, sister and I all went to get our pieces done with boots and Brit. Super welcoming and very broad about opinions on tattoos. Got my sternum and side piece by boots and he did an amazing job. Can not wait to go back and get more art done.

I didn't give it five because i haven't got tatted yet but there customer service speeks volumes & the atmosphere is great, clean & inviting add in there talent & this is def somewhere I'd love to get tatted up at.

Ian is a great artist. I came in unannounced and asked him to cover a tattoo on my finger. First off I had to research to find someone who was good enough to cover a tat on a finger. Well I will say he absolutely did phenomenal. The place is clean, friendly, and I will be back

Finished my first session on my half sleeve the other day by Brittany. I gave her a picture of what I was looking to have done and she recreated it & it was so much better than my original idea. I felt very comfortable and she did an amazing job on my tattoo. I have got so many compliments this far and can t wait for my second session to finish it up.

Amazing artist Carlos did my tattoo and I m definitely going back!!

Just had a master piece done this past week by Boots. I couldn t be happier with the finished product. Everyone is very friendly in the shop. Great environment. I highly recommend Boots for any work to be done. I had no problem with scheduling or anything along those lines. I plan on using Boots for any future work!

They supposed to call me to discuss my tattoo in 48 hrs,never got the called.

Brittany is one of the most skilled and creative tattooers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and her delightful personality makes even the most painful of tattoos an absolute joy to sit for. My life was incomplete until the day I met her. I look back on those years with a feeling of mournful regret. In my heart I know that I had never understood true joy until the day she walked into my life.

Carlos did my portrait n he did an amazing job ! Great place to get ur tattoos done at great tattoo artist u won t regret it

Carlos did a fantastic job! Very clean and comfortable studio. Other artist- Ian & Boots were friendly and personable as well! Highly recommended!!

I have never been happier at any tattoo shop! They are clean, friendly, and excellent artists. I have referred many friends and have gone there several times myself. Boots is the best!

Dedicated Tattoo Artists With An Eye For Detail. Professional Setting And Most Importantly Sanitary. Highly Recommend Booking Your Next Appointment With Them.

Got my second tattoo here done by Ian. I will definitely be coming back with friends :))

I had my first big tattoo at Aztek with Brittany. She exceeded my expectations artistically and made the whole experience very comfortable. I d highly recommend her and will definitely be back in the future.

I have followed Ian for months now on social media, and finally pulled the trigger on a calf tatttoo. I went in with a idea and he went above and beyond to develope it to an amazing piece. That now every time I wear shorts, I get a compliment on it almost every time. His technique and attention to detail really stands out and I will be back to him soon.

I m sure there are many places with good quality, but if you are looking for personalized design and some one that understands what a tattoo means to you, this is where you want to be!
Great quality!
Great prices!
Personalized designs!

Carlos is the bomb! My portrait tattoo is So lifelike & beautiful... Can't wait to go back for second portrait

Part one of My Portrait Tattoo done My Angels 5hrs was worth it !
Nana Portrait coming soon...

The Best tattoo shop! Carlos is an awesome and amazing artist. I love the tattoo he did for me. All the artists there are super talented and friendly.

Great customer service and even better work! Highly recommend

Been going to this tattoo shop and Boots specifically for over a year and he does an amazing job every time! He s done my half sleeve, sternum, wrist and collar bone all beautiful work. I get stopped everywhere I go and I recommend him 100%. The shop itself is great, clean, all amazing artists! I wouldn t be going anywhere else for my tattoos anytime soon!

good customer service my tattoo artist was Britney and she did a really good job she talked with me and my sister (who came with me) i got my son's feet tattooed on mu shoulder it meant a lot to me and even more that it was done right and in a good atmosphere i love my tattoo it's exactly what i wanted

My tattoo artist was Carlos. Best service I've ever received. He made the process easy and gave me an amazing tattoo. Gave me the best advice on how to properly care for my new tattoo. I am definitely coming back here to finish my tattoo.

I just got started on a half sleeve and I have to say I m really liking how it s turning out. My artist is Carlos and he is professional and a really down to earth guy. I get that vibe from all the artist in the shop though. If you want a very realistic and good quality tattoo I d defiantly recommend Aztec Ink.

Ever since I started going to Ian I ll never go to anyone else! His work speaks for itself, & he s very detailed & gives you exactly what your looking for!

brittany is top notch, worked long hours and always made sure I was happy with the work every step of the way. would recommend.

Brittany did an amazing job on a super important piece for me. She created everything I envisioned for a memorial piece for a best friend/sister who passed. She took the time to incoorporate everything that reminded me of her. Thanks love!

I absolutely LOVE my tattoo. Brittany was my artist and she was GREAT and she didn't hurt, very light hand. I will definitely be back.

Had an arm piece done by Carlos, very professional and did an awesome job. staff is super cool. Overall a great experience

Clean studio, great atmosphere. Everyone there is does amazing work. I highly recommend checking out Aztek Ink.

This place is awesome! The tattoo artists are phenomenal, I went in for a piece and you will not be let down Carlos is the man!!!

In the process of getting a peice done. Carlos is truly talented and is passionate about his work. He has great ideas and helps guide you to a masterpiece. It is very rare to come across a tattoo shop like this. Everyone is like family there and will treat you like wise. After my experience here I wouldn t feel right going anywhere else for future tattoos.

Got my tattoo done by brittany.great artist was very helpful when explaining how to care for the tattoo afterwards.really nice cant wait to go back to have more done by her. Also love the fact that i would get reminders about my appointment helped make sure i got there on time.

I Love my tattoo Brittany did. I came in with an idea and picture and she completely changed my mind. It's feminine and beautiful

Amazing service and better Artist. Very knowledgeable and explained the entire process.

Absolute best artists and shop! I have gotten two tattoos from two separate artists and am beyond pleased with the work. Carlos brought to life my vision, and I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to get an amazing tattoo.

Highly recommend this shop. The staff is friendly and professional and all of their artists do top notch work. Carlos has done 2 pieces for me now and I'm always getting compliments on how great his work is.
