My experience with Proton has been amazing. I had a back/shoulder tattoo designed and done at the birth of my daughter 12 years ago. Chris did it in 2 sessions and it looks as amazing now as it did then. The hours I spent getting the tattoo flew by, as Chris is as much an entertainer as he is an artist. He gave me everything I needed to know as far as care and maintenance. I would highly recommend his work.

I went there to get a memorial tattoo for my mom, a beautiful dragonfly. Most of my family came with me, this was before Covid. The tattoo artist took his time making sure my dragonfly was lined up the way I wanted and I picked out the colors. The tattoo was vivid and full of life just the way my mom was. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Professional,warm, and friendly people. I highly recommend this tattoo place! ❤️

I absolutely love proton! I’ve gotten five tattoos there in the past year by Jeffery and he did amazing! I know for sure I’ll be coming back for more. Not only do they do an amazing job everyone there is so welcoming and friendly, I inspire to be an artist myself one day and proton has been my inspiration. I recommend all my friends to go there and I definitely recommend you go there too!

I've been coming to Proton Tattoo since the Cortlnad days when it was only 2 rooms and 2 or 3 artists... oh how far y'all have come! All the artist are amazing and really cool guys. Over 90% of my work has been done by Chris or Aaron and I've never been left unsatisfied. I've been recommending them to people for 14 years now and will continue to promote them for the rest of my life. Keep up the good work fellas!

I have been going to Proton for 15 years! Best around! Everyone makes you feel welcome. My first tattoo was at the Cortland location years ago, it’s great seeing them expand and create these new spaces. I love bringing my ideas and watch what my artist comes up with. I am going back soon! Must check out!!

I've been tattooed several times at Proton by a couple different people and it's always a great experience. A lot of tattoo shops have a lot of big egos flying around making it uncomfortable for customers sometimes. I've never felt that way here. Everyone is always chill and super helpful. Quality is top notch with some of the best artists in Northern IL here. Also, Chris is hilarious so that's a big plus. I always recommend this shop when people ask me where to go!

I have gotten 2 tattoos here and I love them both so much! Everyone here was so helpful and sweet each time I’ve come to the shop. I recommended the shop to 4 friends who have even come and loved their experience as well. Dustin did both of my tattoos and he worked with me to get them how I wanted. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

I've been a proton customer for several years. All three of my tattoos have been done at proton and I plan to get many more done here. I got my first tattoo at 18 here, I just recently got my third tattoo for my 27th birthday. I've recommended proton to all my family and friends because over the years they have always provided amazing work and great customer service. My most recent tattoo was with Grant who did an amazing job, he was super kind and I can't wait to partner with him for several more. Proton has exceptional employees both in skill and in customer service, so if you are looking for a tattoo or piercing I highly recommend coming here.

I love Proton! I trusted them 11 years ago with my first tattoo. They were super nice and made me feel comfortable from finding and working with an artist to getting the actual tattoo. When I worked at the DeKalb Library, Chris was awesome enough to partner with us at our annual Star Wars event several years in a row by making and applying custom designed temporary tattoos for kids, teens, and adults! He was great to work with and I received many compliments on using a real tattoo artist for what would have otherwise been a lackluster station at the event. Highly recommended!

I have been going to April for about a year now and I couldn’t be happier with all of her work! Not only is she a dope artist, she is super rad to sit and chat with! One of the nicest people. I love the new shop- so clean and spacious. The vibe and music are always chill and inviting. I do not see myself straying from their work anytime in the future ! Very awesome place. 10/10 recommend.
