Dark Horse Art Studio is hands down one of the best shops in the greater Peoria, Illinois area! Located in Pekin, Illinois. Very clean, friendly, and full of impressive art! Johnny Knoxville and Justin Egan both have diverse portfolios which proves their worth! Justin is helping me bring together my chest piece that originally was abandoned by another artist. Thank goodness for Justin helping me create a custom piece that I can look in the mirror and be happy with! I will be sure to update my review as we advance my piece! Here's the work that was added to my chest piece! Read Less

Went there for my first time today and really enjoyed it. Johnny is going to be working on my sleeve and I'm happy with the start of it. He had a tooth pulled and still worked on me without rescheduling. Looking forward to getting the rest my sleeve done by him. Also, he makes sure you are happy with what you are getting and is quick and precise. Definitely a comfortable and enjoyable environment. Read Less

Was standing behind a lady at the mall waiting to check out. I noticed one of the best tattoos I had ever seen on her forearm. I nudged my husband and whispered to him to "check out her tattoo". He was so floored on how good it was, he asked her who did it. She replied, "Johnny Knoxville at Dark Horse". I looked him up, called him, he got me in the next day due to a cancellation and now have an awsome piece of his work! 2 days after my new ink, had 3 random people at B-dubs walk up to me to compliment my new ink and ask who did it. Been passing out his biz cards like Halloween candy! Won't go anywhere else but Dark Horse! Thanks for a great piece of art Johnny! Read Less

The least judgmental tattoo shop I have ever been in. Johnny goes above and beyond all expectations. He is also the friendliest tattoo artist I have had work done by. His work speaks for itself.

I have been getting tattoos done by Johnny for the past 5 years, and not one do i regret. First of all, the environment is extremely laid back and stress free. There's music in the air and the artists are always open and non-judgmental regardless of your questions or wishes. The tattoos I got 5 years ago still look like i got them yesterday. The quality and price you will get from this place is honestly one of a kind. I highly recommend Johnny Knoxville and Dark Horse Art Studio in general. Read Less
