A few months ago my husband and I were searching for an artist to do some tattoos on us. My husband wanted a portrait and I wanted to start my Day of the Dead sleeve.We searched and searched and searched in our area (northside) going into countless shops and reviewing them online. Being an art teacher and an artist myself my expectations were high. I started to think they were a little too high and contemplated not even getting a tattoo at all. Nothing against the shops I went into I just felt like they were all offering the same type of art and that wasn't what my husband and I were looking for. Months later on a business trip to California I saw a man with some breathtaking tattoo work . I proceeded to inquire about his beautiful tattoos thinking I was going to be extending my trip to get tattooed only to find out all of his work was done by Shred at Shred's Inferno in Chicago. Strange how things happen sometimes! Immediately after getting home we went straight to Shred's to talk about getting our tattoos. I thought for sure he was going to have an attitude to go along with his amazing artwork. I was so wrong! He was very kind, educated in art, and extremely easy to talk to.The shop was clean and the staff was delightful. My husband and I got our tattoos by Shred and they are even more glorious than what I ever thought was possible. People stop me constantly to see my tattoo its a great feeling. I am proud to have a Shred tattoo he is definatly someone you can trust with your ideas and your skin for that matter!
