This place is the bomb. While I can only speak from my personal experience, and by extension, the quality may vary depending on what you get.
That said, I would trust these folks with anything I wanted inked. Friendly staff, the perfect combination of playful and professional. I was so pleased I immediately made another appointment for some other work.
Sorry for the novel-- I'm just enthusiastic about this place and the people who work there. 12/10 would (and am) go again.

A friend told me that Hawks was a good place to get work done. That was an understatement. Hawk and his staff do some of the best art work that I have ever seen. Needless to say, I returned for several more tattoos. The establishment has excellent customer service skills and more importantly is cleaner than most hospitals. The lengths they go to maintain a sterile environment is extremely impressive. I would recommend this establishment to anyone in the market. Keep up the good work.

I got my first, and only tattoo tonight, and was fortunate to have THEE HAWK himself do it. It is in memory of my father, so no further tattoos needed, otherwise I'd certainly want him to do one! It was a memorable experience for sure!

When I want a tattoo I know I want it done at Hawk's Tattoos. Shawn is a friend and has done 3 tattoos for me and there is just nowhere else I'd go. Shawn and Hawk are always interested in the story behind the tattoo and sharing those stories is makes the experience a special one.

Years ago I was at Hawks getting a tattoo ( Not from Hawk ) with one of my friends. I went into the restroom to look at that tattoo and at that time Hawk asked my friend that I was with if I was gay. If Hawk was interested in a date he should have asked me not my friend. I seen him in front of Walmart a few weeks ago and he kept on staring at me. I would have said hi to him but he's aged so much that I barely even notice him. Thank you for showing your interest in me Hawk but I'm not interested in you.

Great traditional artwork and an awesome atmosphere. If you want your tattoo experience to be fun and bizarre, go see Hawk. You'll end up with a cool tat and a funny story to share.

I couldn't be happier with my experience at Hawk's. It was my first tattoo but they made me feel totally at ease. I'm in love with how my design turned out and I can't wait to go back for my second!

This not my first tattoo, but the first done by Hawk. The atmosphere and service is magnificent. Hawk listened to what I wanted and why, and made a couple suggestions. He is a true artist, with insight that can be trusted impeccably. I could not be more happy with the results. I love it more every time I see it. Thanks again Hawk.

Shawn was very accommodating to my friend and I that walked in on a Friday. He made time to draw out, and tattoo both of us Saturday night, even calling us to see if we could come in earlier due to a cancellation. He's work was quick, clean, and most of all exactly what we wanted! I would recommend Hawk's to anyone in the Galesburg area, and Shawn in particular!

Got my first tattoo here and I was absolutely satisfied. They are very patient, kind and do whatever they can to make sure that you will be happy with what they are about to do. He made me feel relaxed, comfortable and calm before he started (which was a good idea. Also made sure I was 100% satisfied with the outline before he even started with the needles. I will be returning for more tattoos in the future!
