In Short
Tatu is the only storefront tattoo parlor on this very trendy section of North Avenue. The atmosphere is casual--customers can watch you grimace in pain, while artists banter with each other about upcoming conventions… Read Full Editorial
Su Houston is amazing!!! by KiTKaT via Citysearch on 5/3/2012
I'm working on a half-sleeve with Su Houston and after two sittings (1st one for outline and 2nd one for color) ... all I can say is ... WOW. Amazing work. All the individual pieces transition seamlessly and I couldn't be more happy. She…
Already excited for my next one! by PK12889 via Citysearch on 9/3/2008
I just moved to Chicago for school and had the idea for a tattoo in my head for many years. After doing a little bit of research I decided to go to Tatu Tattoo for my first. It was my best decision ever. From the moment I walked in…
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE by cynthia2105 via Citysearch on 6/17/2008
TATU TATTOO GAVE US THE RUN AROUND ABOUT THE TIME FRAME OF OUR WAIT...WHICH IS FINE. AFTER AN HOUR AND A HALF OF WAITING, THE GENTLEMAN ASKED US TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THE WOMAN WHO WAS GOING TO DO OUR TATTOO ASKED US FOR A DEPOSIT…
Clean facility and talented artists. by mmendels41 via Citysearch on 6/12/2008
Although I had to wait to see my artist, it was worth it. The shop is very clean and the staff is obviously concerned with safety. My artist, Marci, was not only very talented, but she took the time to make sure I understood the entire…
Ricardo is the man by JonnyMcC via Citysearch on 5/29/2008
I was in Chicago on business and decided I wanted to get a tattoo. I searched and read all the reviews on here and decided I would check out Tatu. I have my back covered in tattoo's so I know what to look for and what to stay away…
Horrible by southendbro via Citysearch on 4/10/2008
I consider a tattoo a very personal experience. Tatu was very nonchalant in their interaction. It was hi, look at the book, come back later. Nobody showed any desire to want to actually perform the service. I left there went to Jade…
WHAT? by 615butterfly via Citysearch on 2/23/2008
I came into Chicago from tennessee and thought i would get a tattoo.. I have four already and thought it was time for a new one. So we checked on this website and read the reviews and thought that it sounded like a great place to go. Well…
Good shop and friendly staff by indie2007 via Citysearch on 12/23/2007
I got my first tattoo here by Eric C. I showed him my design and he just polished it up a bit. The tattoo is absolutely perfect. He really makes you feel comfortable and I can honestly say it didn't hurt at all. I wasn't out of the…
Request Eric and Su! by shotzx2 via Citysearch on 8/5/2007
Love It! I got matching tattoos with my cousin, it didn't hurt nearly as bad as I thought, and they are beautiful. We brought in a couple different pictures, and they looked the same as what we wanted. They made us very comfortable, and it…
i love it!!! by jackie c via Insider Pages on 7/22/2007
I went in today to get my first tattoo of a Chinese symbol on my foot and i was very happy in how everyone treated me there and how the shop looked very clean and sterilized yet very retro. I was tattooed by mike and he was awesome! i have…
Phenomenal by islandgirl1113 via Citysearch on 7/1/2007
I went into Tatu Tattoo with a general design and the artist, Rebecca, designed exactly what I had in mind but just couldn't desrcibe in words. She was simply phenomenal-- very friendly, inviting, highyly skilled...and let my two…

Real tattoo artists by paulsgrl via Citysearch on 4/27/2007
I went to Tatu Tattoo with my boyfriend so he could get a new military tattoo. Sebastian did such a great job on my boyfriends tattoo that I decided to have the small gothic dragon on my back redone. Sebastian traced the tattoo that I…
Good Piercer, Good Attitude by ameliew via Citysearch on 3/31/2007
I just went in on a whim, to check stuff out. I had been contemplating getting my nipples pierced for several months. But once I spoke with Erika, I realized she definitely has a great understanding of what she's doing and she's got a…
Great Tattoo Experience by mochanpaugh via Citysearch on 3/26/2007
This was my 4th tattoo, and my first experience at Tattoo Tatu. I'm not covered by tattoos, so at other shops I'm always intimidated by the artists. But at Tattoo Tatu, they treated me like I belonged and worked with me to design a tattoo…
Su Houston rocks my socks off by dmoneyp via Citysearch on 5/3/2006
If you're looking for an awesome artist who is equally entertaining and awesome, check out Tatu Tattoo and make an appointment with Su Houston. I just had the best experience with her ever. Highly, highly highly recommended.
Customer Service???? yeah right... by bestof101 via Citysearch on 4/5/2006
All that needs to be said is that this place does NOT treat the customer (ya know, the one who pays the place money for service) right. Total blow-hards here. Even if you're an artist, if you have an actual business, it should be run…

i had my first tattoo done here a few years ago and it turned out great. i have a flower design on the small of my back and the artist that did it was a total pro. everything was sterile and well lit inside and while it did hurt a little…
