Milwaukee Ave, in the Avondale neighborhood of Chicago just minutes from Logan Square. Our studio offers an inviting relaxed experience. Our lounge area features comfortable seating with internet access and streaming movies. You'll feel right at home. Browse through portfolios and just kick back as you wait for your new tattoo. Visit ILL State Ink today and let us turn your new tattoo idea into a reality.
