I've been going to Rob since long before this shop opened. He is clean and professional and does amazing color work. I recommend him to everyone and always carry a couple of his cards in my wallet as I'm regularly asked where I get my work done! You'll wait a little while for an appointment because he's gotten so popular but for something that'll bee on you the rest of your life the wait is more than worth it Read Less

Wow!! Tim DeRose really nailed my tattoo. It took me about 5-6 years to really find what I wanted. With 1 consultation, Tim was able to design exactly what I was looking for with his style. I could not be happier with my tattoo!!!! Goodkind is very clean and professional!! Read Less

I've been getting tattooed by Rob for years, and I'm in for another session next week! Speaking as someone who has also worked in the industry, him and his shop are one of THE best places to go in Chicago. You can't beat the professionalism, great atmosphere and quality of work. I recommend him to everyone! Read Less

I was recommended by a friend (with a lot of tattoos) to get my first tattoo here. I am so happy I went here. I got mine done by Rob and I love it! I just gave him a general idea of what I wanted and he created an amazing piece of art. If I get anymore tattoos I'm def coming back here even though it's over an hour away. Read Less

I got my tattoo done with Rob Goodkind, the owner. Though I was initially hesitant, being my first tattoo (a rather large piece over my ribs), Rob was awesome throughout the entire session and allowed breaks whenever I needed. The shop itself is extremely clean and the prices are great considering how detailed the artists' work is. Will definitely come back again for my next piece once my current tattoo is finished. Make sure to book your appointment a month or two in advance, as all of the artists there are extremely busy. All around great tattoo shop full of talent. Read Less

I was in the shop a few days ago to get my first tattoo done. I loved this shop because of how professional and welcome they made me feel. My tattoo artist name was Tim and he provided the best experience for me by making sure I felt comfortable throughout the tattoo process. He was very knowledgeable. I am so happy I went to this place to get my tat done. Thank you good kind tattoo. Read Less

Carolina is a supreme bad ass, and helped me have the best tattoo experience in my life! The finished product blew all of my expectations out of the water, and I could not have pictured the tattoo coming out any better. Carolina was really helpful when helping me design my tattoo, and I could tell she took a lot of pride in her work. Plus, she was just outright awesome to work with and her enthusiasm made the experience that much more fun. What she does best is helping me realize my tattoo design and creating something that I really liked and wanted. I would recommend this shop, especially Carolina, to anyone, any day, or any week. Everyone at the shop was helpful and pretty easy going during my time there. I don't normally write reviews, but everyone needs to know how awesome Carolina and her work are! She seriously just blew my expectations! Read Less

I chose Rob to do my first tattoo after seeing his portfolio online. When I went for my consult, the shop was clean and he was very welcoming and willing to answer all of my questions. He took my tattoo idea, kept all the important parts, but then made it better than I had envisioned it. He always asked for my feedback at every step and made sure I approved of the design, colors, size, etc. He also verified my price range and gave me an accurate estimate. He made the actual tattoo experience as comfortable as possible too. He was friendly and encouraged me to stay comfortable and relaxed and take breaks if I needed them. Most importantly, the end tattoo looks phenomenal, the lines, shading, and everything. It was an excellent choice for a first tattoo experience, and I couldn't recommend it more. Read Less
