East Chicago Ink Tattoo Studio

08/11/2026

Hello my beautiful people. I have finally moved my shop down the block into a bigger space. I am picking up the business license this week and will be ready for grand opening soon. I will be fulfulling appointments until the grand opening but things are still a lil cluttered. Its a work in progress.

The address is 3929 Main Street Suite A in East Chicago.

I look forward to everybody coming to check out the new store and I'll be posting the grand opening details as soon as I get fully settled.

For anyone on the Illinois side, I have appointments available at the shop over here as well. 5920 w 111th street, Chicago Ridge 60415. I can tattoo from either place. If booking online you'll have to leave me a note that you wish to come to the shop over here instead of Indiana.

Thanks for your continued support and I look forward to seeing everyone!

Hey everyone. Quick update. My new location is gettin close. First 2 inspections are complete and now its a safety committee meeting at city hall and then building dept and that'll be it. As of now its lookin like grand opening first week of July. I have a few new people comin on board to do tattoos and piercings. We're gonna do a biggggg grand opening event with giveaways and cheap flash tattoos and discount piercings and possibly a food truck (pending approval).

Its gettin close and its exciting I cant wait for yall to see the new space. I had 6 weeks off on my ass being sick so alottta work got done by alotta people close to me and I appreciate them bein down with me and havin my back when it counts.

Going forward theres gonna be a few minor changes to the way things get managed. All appointments starting in july will require a small 25 dollar deposit to book your time slot. Theres been alotta no shows lately and the lil $25 just gives the lil incentive to come on time or reschedule.

I've always done my best to keep my prices very reasonable and very fair. That will never change. But just be aware.....the drama with nipsco and the price increases, and the prices of every single thing we buy today are going up....sometimes more than once a week. So if u got a tattoo last year for $50, today it might be 60, or 70. It all depends on what your gettin and what i gotta use to make it happen. A tattoo that requires 5 needle sizes is gonna be more $. Simple math.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and for comin to my lil shop. I appreciate everyone and have nothing but high hopes to be there for a long time. Have a great day and stay safe in this weather. Hope to see you soon!

Hey everyone. I just wanted to give everyone an update. I made it thru treatment and I'm gonna be coming back to work. I won't be able to do 8 tattoos a day at first, i gotta take it slow. If u were waiting to get somethin, reach out to me and I'll start puttin a schedule together. I have alot of messages and texts to go thru and things to draw but I'll get to everybody i promise.

On another note, i have all ready secured a new location. Its currently under construction and hasn't been inspected by the city yet. Someone reported me to the city of EC with a tip that I've been tattooing out of the new shop...... even though it isnt any where near ready and ive been in and outta the hospital and going thru chemo treatments with receipts. I'm not blaming anyone I dont know who did it or why....i'm just letting every one here know that it may have put a middle finger into my time line for opening at the new spot. I'm waiting to hear from them to see what kind of issues have been caused and what i gotta do to fix it.

As always, those that support your local tattoo shop i appreciate you and look forward to gettin back to work and gettin you's back in the chair! ❤️
