Clean place, ok for ear piercings ok for small tattoos but not the best work I've ever seen staff kinda just ignore you.

I called every shop within 200 miles and they all refused to do my angel kiss piercing. Everyone said it was a temporary piercing and if left in would migrate. John marc did them for me and I have had them for several years with zero complications. And they are uniform.

I scheduled an appointment at 10 and none of the workers were there, 2 other people also were waiting saying they had appointments too. We came back an hour later and still...no workers.

I've had piercings here and have always had a great and clean experience. I went to another place in Peoria to see about getting one of my tattoos covered up and the guy told me it was impossible and that I would need to get it lasered off. I went to big top to get a second opinion and Johnmarc got me in, in just a few weeks and covered it up beautifully. It doesn't look forced or anything. I am more than happy and glad to finally have something I'm comfortable with because I truly hated my last tattoo. I will be going back here for all my future tattoos! Great service and fun people!

Big top tattoos and piercings was the very first tattoo shop I've ever been too. Johnmarc is a stellar artist. Is very professional and kind. He listens to what you want exactly how you want it done. Great artwork. And tells the best stories about previous clients while he's giving you the tattoo. It's only been a year since I've had my cross on my arm done but I fall more in love with it every day of my life. Thank you johnmarc

I've been getting tattooed for the better part of 25 years. I've been tattooed by people who have been in the business for a long time, and those just starting out. From the first time I walked in to Big top I felt at ease with my decision. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They take your health and safety seriously and make sure that even if you're a seasoned tattoo customer or a first timer, you are comfortable with trusting them to give you a high quality piece of artwork at an affordable price. I would highly recommend any of these talented artists for your next tattoo.
