I love coming here whenever I am in town. I consistently recieve compliments on my tattoos done by Joe even years later. Very clean, Friendly, and professional. I only wished I lived in state so I could come more frequently.

Went to Dark Heart Tattoo last night with my Dad and had one of the best experiences ever!

We called beforehand and spoke with Ashley. She was very friendly on the phone and informed us it was a first come first serve basis. Luckily when we arrived, no one else was in line so we were able to see her right away.

My Dad and I showed her what we wanted and she began work right away. Ashley came up with ideas to enhance the look of our tattoos. She gave us both a unique shading to make our tattoos appear more life like; something my Dad and I would not have thought of ourselves.

Throughout the time of our stay, Ashley was kind, informative and kept us laughing. One of the most impressive things about her was after she completed my tattoo and started my Dad’s, a pizza came in that was ordered by a coworker for them to share. My Dad offered for her to take a break to enjoy a slice, she said she would finish the tattoo before doing so. Ashley continued to work on his tattoo without rushing it or complaining of hunger. Ashley was certain to make sure we were both satisfied with our tattoos. Not only does that show extreme mental fortitude, working very hard with pizza at stake, but also wonderful customer service!!

Thank you so much Ashley for making a memory of getting a tattoo with my Dad so special! Also very grateful for your artistry. We will be sure to book you next time so we are guaranteed another session with you. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a tattoo in the Crystal Lake area!

Clean shop, friendly staff who work very hard to give you just the right tattoo. I would definitely recommend this shop. Work is impeccable.

I got my very first tattoo from Marky H and he did such an amazing job. The design was beautiful and unique and he did a fantastic job of walking me through the process. I got a large tattoo for my first tattoo and Marky was consistently making sure I was okay and comfortable throughout the process. This artwork is beyond beautiful and very worth the wait. The other staff members at this shop were also very nice and welcoming. Great place to get a tattoo!

These are amazing people. Tj pierced me. Not only does he go above and beyond what others do, he cares about what he does and it has shown. This shop is full of amazing artists and fantastic people!

Made an appointment for a friend and I. Thought the artist's work looked great from what I saw on social media. A friend actually recommended me here. Less than an hour before the appointment, he canceled and we were already at the shop. He asked me to come in the next day, I couldn't but my friend was able too. Then then canceled on her too. He tried to make it better by offering a discount, even to do mine for free, but at that point its not worth it, cause how do I know this wont happen again? Sorry. First impressions are everything.

walked in to discuss a possible pair of tattoos, I was asked to have a seat and look around. I ended up sitting for a half hour and still hadn’t been seen and in the mean time the receptionist left 15 minutes ago and still hadn’t come back, I would have been more than glad to reschedule an appointment to talk with an artist but no was there to talk to and I wasn’t about to interrupt a tattoo session to talk to someone. I was excited to check this place out, unfortunately I didn’t a have a good experience.

I came into the shop with a piece in mind and Rachel took it to a different level. Rachel is so talented and I highly recommend her. The staff have great chemistry together and really take care of their customers to make sure they have a great experience. I would definitely come back again and recommend Dark Heart to anyone looking to have a tattoo done. Clean, professional, personable and extremely talented artists.
