Delicious Ink Tattoo & Piercing

Fantastic experience: Went in for a septum piercing and Utah was beyond amazing. The shop is clean, Utah was very sweet and informative, and hands down the smoothest piercing I’ve ever had. 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: I had Utah as my piercer and omggg i was scared my anti eyebrow would hurt soo much but it did not. Everyone was so nice even the checkout/checkin lady. They are on the expensive side but trusting soo worth it. Definitely coming back to get my belly pierced

Fantastic experience: Utah was an awesome piercer! I went in wanting new jewelry, and she hooked me up with beautiful, high-quality body jewelry. I have very sensitive skin and have to get piercings from shops, so it's nice that it has been a few weeks now since I visited, and I have had no complications with my piercing. They look so beautiful and make me feel so confident! I liked Utah's friendly attitude and how she keeps a convo flowing. I was a walk-in and needed help changing the jewelry. I was thankful she got me in on a random whim.

Fantastic experience: Jewelry selection was really nice. Piercing artist was really nice and gentle w my double nose ring. I feel so much better with the change.

Fantastic experience: Utah did it so fast and painless if you want to get piercing i highly recomend her.

Fantastic experience: Great

Negative experience: got a navel piercing here and they completely messed it up. not only are they overpriced, but they pierced my navel too far back and off center so when i went to a different piercer they told me i had to wait for this one to heal completely and get it repierced in a month. never going here again.

Fantastic experience: Came here to thank Bekah for doing a cover up for me! It came out beautifully, you can’t even tell anything else was there! Bekah let me know she didn’t have a lot of cover up experience but I felt like she could absolutely do it and she did that!!! Thanks again❤️❤️❤️❤️

Negative experience: 2 worst tattoos I got came from this shop. Overpriced isn't even my biggest gripe. One artist kept whining about his girl leaving him thoroughout my entire session which is why my tat is sloppy. And it wasn't even a comfortable vibe there. Yeah the cosmetics and allure of the shop is creative and the free drinks were a nice gesture but I'll never go back to this place

Fantastic experience: What a great experience!! Very professional and at the same time very kind and welcoming!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve never been here before but was recommended this place to look for a septum ring. They had a lot of beautiful pieces for me to look at and I was able to find the perfect one for me. Both the people who worked with me were so helpful and informative to me. I picked out the piece I wanted and they changed it for me. I hadn’t changed mine out since I got it pierced so their guidance was so helpful! I will be back.

Fantastic experience: Review for Delicious Ink Tattoo Studio – 5 Stars Across the Board! Delicious Ink is hands down the spot for piercings and tattoos. I first came here in February to get my nipples pierced by Utah, and let me tell you—she is a walking statue of art and expression. From the jump, she respected me, made me feel comfortable, and walked me through everything with care and clarity. Today I came back to get my jewelry cleaned and replaced, and once again the experience was top-tier. Utah gives amazing self-care guidance and is always just a message away—whether it’s via call, email, or social media. That kind of access and care is rare. The shop itself is clean, welcoming, and fully stocked—from clothing and aftercare spray to high-quality jewelry. And yes, they take Afterpay, which makes leveling up your look even more accessible without breaking the bank. I’ll definitely keep coming back and I highly recommend Delicious Ink to anyone looking for professional, safe, and artistic body work in a place where you feel seen and respected.

Fantastic experience: Took my wife in for a nose piercing and Utah was phenomenal. She was very detailed about instructions, very hygienic, and an all around great person. You really feel like you made a new friend. If you need a piercing, go see her!

Fantastic experience: My boyfriend, daughter, and myself had an appointment yesterday for piercings. We knew we had a lot we wanted done. We met with Utah. First impression was that she was very thorough. She told us in detail the pros and cons of each piercing. She looked at our anatomy and explained what would and wouldn't work. We had went to another place a while ago that just pierced and didn't care. One piercing that rejected for my boyfriend because he didn't have the anatomy prior and shouldn't have been pierced there. She was very open and honest. Utah spent more than 2 hours with us for 6 piercings total. Everything was sterilized, wiped down, and put through an autoclave. I usually get so nervous prior to a piercing that I'm shaking, especially with an intimate piercing. I felt comfortable with her immediately. It wasn't until I sat on the table I got nervous. She explained after care and everyone there was awesome. I found a new piercer for life. I don't have any tattoos, but if I choose to get one, I'd go there too. After several piercings with Utah, 1 tattoo with Shay, 1 with Solvej, my previous review is still accurate. Utah is amazing and so are their artists.

Positive experience: I really don't know what to say necessarily, I've only been getting tattooed for a year but I got my 4th done here. I called a few days ahead and I drew both pieces myself. One for me and one for my mom, they were only line work no shading. She had us wait for an hour in shop before she even said hi, then another 30-45 minutes tracing my work for her to do it. She barely communicated with us at all, and didnt go through the process though I already knew, to refresh my memory. Mines a forearm piece about 4in long and was 120! Another one I got in belvedere almost the same was 40.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing ! Love my Bumble !

Fantastic experience: One of the best tattoo shops! If you want it done right, get it done here. I’ve gotten many piercings and tattoos and I will definitely be back for more :)

Negative experience: If I could.give a zero star I would , first we had a constitution the artiest was 20 minutes late as we were told she was on the phone!! When decided oir appointment was important she was not i formational at all!! It would have been my daughters first tattoo, she should have explained the whole process from beginning to end but only asked wjat u looking and the price to other Info for a first timer. She didn't offer to show any of her work we had to ask, she then had my daughter look up her work on Instagram and then said I'll give u a moment to look at them. The girl at the counter wasn't to friendly either I ask if there was someone else that could do the work she seem annoyed I asked, We a fist timer is getting a tattoo the artiest should be explaining the process and teying to get the business.. We definitely will be going somewhere where more inviting and friendly to new comers to the tattoo world.!!

Fantastic experience: Great people, the environment and overall vibe is awesome, have been and will continue to be a return customer!!

Fantastic experience: The employees are great, super knowledgeable, and awesome to work with. Tim Atwell runs an awesome shop. Utah and John are amazing piercers. Will always recommend this place to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercers.

Fantastic experience: I would like to express my gratitude for the superior artwork performed by Solve of Delicious Ink Tattoo. The staff is very friendly, and very helpful. Anyone interested in top quality artwork/tatoo’s this business is professional and highly skilled in all types of artwork. Thank you all for your hospitality and the amazing Ink!

Fantastic experience: Probably the best tattoo parlor ive been too. Every artist is talented, very helpful front desk, and theyre about the business. I will always go back

Negative experience: I'm writing this 2 years later, I got my nipples pierced on my 18th birthday. Cost around $200-$250. I had taken them out about a year later and just recently got them redone at Euro tattoo, A. Cost $50 for the same thing, and B. They actually pierced them straight unlike Delicious, one of my nipples was pierced way too far and was way too close to my boob, Euro couldn't even pierce them where Delicious did because they were so off. If you want to save money, and have it done well, go literally anywhere else. Also the bs they give you with the jewelry and that's why it costs so much is comical, don't believe them. The standard jewelry used at other shops is just as good. They're just money hungry.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable, never felt rushed. Answered every question and makes you feel very relaxed & welcome

Fantastic experience: I have gone to Solvej Jordahl for almost 20 year and now my daughter does and her bf we have always left with beautiful art and we even go there for our piercings and Utah does a great job and is knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Utah Owen’s was without a doubt the best piercer I’ve ever had. Utahs communication before, throughout, and after the piercing was phenomenal. They took cleanliness and sterilization seriously, as well as making sure I didn’t feel bad for asking questions or wanting a different placement. I could tell Utah really cared about you leaving the shop 100% happy with their service. I will probably go here until a die, and if it was possible, afterwords too.

Fantastic experience: I had Shay do a rework of to me, just a horrible tattoo. He is so nice and did an amazing job!

Fantastic experience: Everyone here is awesome, and Tim is the best in town!

Fantastic experience: I've gotten piercings and jewelry for myself here for years and today finally took my daughter in for ear piercings. She was very comfortable as she knew what to expect with each step being explained really well. I'm so glad we made the trip down to get the piercings with this shop!

Negative experience: DON’T RECOMMEND. I would not recommend coming here, I did not have a good experience. I went in to get help putting jewelry in, and to purchase some piercing jewelry. Both of my piercings were still open, yet the guy who put mine in for me reopened a wound on both parts of my ear where he put them in. I asked him about how to care for it- he told me to use “warm water” and that’s all that I’d need. A couple days later it was still killing me and clearly infected, so I started treating it. Was very unhappy with my experience and I won’t be recommending to anyone I care about. Also extremely overpriced.

Fantastic experience: I went in to get a few things re-pierced. I was helped immediately. My details were taken into consideration and I felt like the staff truly cared about my experience.

Fantastic experience: so great loved the feminine energy felt very safe and comfortable

Fantastic experience: I truly enjoyed my time at Delicious Ink and I had a very positive experience my first time there. I got a piercing and my piercer was very knowledgeable, confident, and transparent which helped me to relax and feel comfortable. They have wonderful customer service and a chill inviting atmosphere. I had no issues or worries after getting my piercing, but if I did, I know I can contact the piercer at any time (which is awesome and very reassuring). I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: THIS is THE place for a tattoo. The time and effort put into designing tattoo's and the detail was amazing. Thank you for your thoughtful design.

Fantastic experience: THIS is the experience you should have. Professional, high quality products and techniques, sterile, super knowledgeable... I cannot say enough about this place. Love!

Fantastic experience: Solvej is my favorite artist, but all around good shop full of talented professionals.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my artwork, solvej is a awesome artist, very professional

Fantastic experience: Utah is the best. I've gone in to see her a couple times now for dermal related issues and she's always so helpful, kind and gentle as hell. I could never recommend her enough for everything piercing related!

Fantastic experience: These folks always do a great job and real affordable. Very talented at their craft!

Fantastic experience: Utah helped me and my wife out with picking out new jewelry and getting our septums done! It was amazing! They were so awesome!!!!

Negative experience: I have heard nothing but good things about Delicious Ink. I don't doubt their work is good. But I have been texting and emailing an artist that appeared to do the kind of work I am looking for. But after two weeks an no response, it is probably time to move on. Was looking for a half sleeve, but must not want the work.

Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful very clean & chill environment staff there are amazing If you have the time and the money this would be the best choice ❤️

Fantastic experience: Great place and even better artist! Annette is a great artist with awesome work

Fantastic experience: Tim is phenomenal person. If you are even thinking of getting a tattoo, you need to go see him!

Negative experience: So I was here for a cover up fix and it was going alright and it looked good until the last session. I asked for it to be darker around the mandala and I was left with very uneven lines….. and the white over the black kinda looks like a child drew on my leg…I know cover ups are hard but it was going well until the last session and now I have invested so much money into this and have to get it removed which is on me. But what tattoo artist can’t make even lines isn’t it your job? I’m not trying to be mean either I’m just appalled with how this turned out and I should’ve said something sooner. Also if you have never done white ink tattoos before which I know can be tricky don’t make someone your experiment. I thought you had experience with it going into it‍♂️ I hope this can somehow be made right considering how much money I put into this. I also hope other people take this review into account when looking to get a tattoo here.

Fantastic experience: Always an amazing time at this tattoo parlor. Friendly staff, positive environment, and they like Wisconsin kringle. Who would've thought. I would recommend enjoying such an amazing experience this place offers with Annette and the rest of the crew.

Fantastic experience: I kinda put solvej on the spot with a heavily detailed image and she pulled through with some incredible tiny detailing and color shading. It looks very well done, hands down the best tattoo i've gotten.

Negative experience: Never even got the chance to review the shop itself, only my experience with them. I made an appointment with them at noon and got a call at 11:47am telling me their piercer called in because they weren't feeling good. I live an hour away and had to take a vacation day for my appointment. I ended up wasting time, money, and a vacation day for nothing. A 'high end,' shop like this should understand people travel to see them. It would've been different if they would've offered a discount or for their other piercer to come in, but because of the two things in combination I will not recommend or use their business.

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and great people! Such a great vibe, love coming here and I always recommend this place to all my friends

Fantastic experience: Had a great time and amazing experience with staff! Super friendly and professional! Didn’t wait long! Was able to set up an appointment the same day as called!

Fantastic experience: My partner needed help getting a lip piercing stretched back out and Utah did an awesome job with that! Very professional, easy to make an appointment, and it was a clean and beautiful shop! Looking forward to going back for new piercings and to buy some pretty jewelry!!

Fantastic experience: John was so awesome, very informative and made me very comfortable. Love my new piercing definitely going back soon for more piercings.

Fantastic experience: Amazing! Came in for a walk in, had a great time! Great artist in the shop, and the shop itself is super neat! The selection of body jewelry is top notch as well. Will absolutely be coming back

Fantastic experience: I got some ear piercings done by Utah and it was great. The whole experience was comfortable and she made it better by answering my questions and just being super chill and kind. I will definitely be getting more piercings here

Fantastic experience: What a talented studio! Definitely do business here.

Fantastic experience: Utah the piercer was super knowledgeable and helpful, plus my new piercing looks great. Will be back!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars as always. Class act. Artists are hilarious and very friendly. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Shay rocks!

Fantastic experience: All of the staff was so nice and helpful here my son was in need of his tattoo to be wrapped because it was new and he didn’t want it to get dirty they stayed after hours to help him I am beyond grateful for all the staff did for him tonight thank you so much

Fantastic experience: Was able to get in quickly for a piercing. The staff was friendly and funny! The area was clean and everything was explained to me about the process. I will definitely be going back!

Fantastic experience: Update 8.5.2022 Shay did another amazing tattoo on my kid. Love this one more than the first. And the original design was incredibly busy. Shay pulled off a rendition that mastered the concept and artistry of the picture, the expression, to perfection. And the price is not overly inflated as the norm for our current economy. Thankful for people who love their work and have the true talent. Super glad we finally found a reputable tattoo artist (Shay) with reasonable prices and availability. Been looking since March 2021. Shay took the time to review the idea, then made it unique and special instead of just copying someone else's work. He captured exactly the concept. He is friendly. Knowledgeable. Has a college degree in art. All this and more is apparent in his work. The owner, Tim, very accommodating and welcoming. Professional place. Will be back. Thank you all for making my son's first tattoo a fantastic and positive experience. (Posting while still in progress) Edited... as we progressed through to the final amazing piece of art now hanging on my kids arm. Very very pleased.

Positive experience: Impossible to schedule an appointment. You lost my business

Fantastic experience: They were very helpful and informative when I stopped in. Very busy as well.

Fantastic experience: I called and was able to set up an appointment the same day. This was the first place I've gone to in Rockford to get a piercing. I went in to get my tongue pierced (for the 2nd time). Once you walk in the aesthetic was beautiful and the atmosphere was very welcoming. I had the pleasure of getting my work done by Utah. She's very easy going and had a lot of knowledge on my piercing. Anything I had questions to she answered and when getting my piercing she made me feel very relaxed. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Utah!!!

Fantastic experience: Got pierced by Utah, she was amazing! The piercing is really good, and she was very thorough and talked through everything with me. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: My son and I got tattoos here. Solvej was great. Staff was great. Tattoos are great.

Fantastic experience: Tim is very talented. The staff is very professional and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Utah and all staff encountered. Made my four year old very comfortable and happy. Super sanitary & there was no pressure put on us. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Shay Tarleton is the bomb! A visionary with skills to execute! His line work is beyond impressive! Can't wait for next pieces with Shay!

Fantastic experience: I called and was able to get an appointment same day for a microdermal piercing. My piercer was Utah and she was very professional and made me feel at ease during the whole appointment. She explained everything to me as she went and gave me her email to contact if I have any questions or concerns during the healing process. I will definitely be coming to Utah for all my piercing needs in the future!!

Positive experience: Professional, and a fun time as well.

Fantastic experience: Have gone multiple times to get piercings with Utah, and each time has been extremely pleasant. I always feel at ease and well taken care of while I am here.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place very professional friendly great with questions and great assortment of jewlry i thought Utah was awesome!

Fantastic experience: I’m calling to make an appointment soon! I had a good friend recommend Jason.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant artist. Brilliant art. Snagged a piece wrist art at the Minneapolis Tattoo convention and I love it.

Fantastic experience: I was really nervous because I had never gotten a tattoo before. Shay did an amazing job. He took his time and really paid attention to the detail. I really loved the professionalism of Delicious Ink. I will definitely be going back.

Fantastic experience: I'm obsessed with my tattoo! Shay did an amazing job and was super accommodating throughout the entire process! Everyone there was nice and professional, and the shop was very clean. I will definitely be going back there for my next tattoo!

Fantastic experience: I've only been here for tattoos but this is my one and only tattoo shop. They do piercings as well and if I ever decide to get one I'm going here. I've only had high quality art from amazing artists. Each artist is unique but they all make certain you walk away with the tattoo you want to your specifications. If you merely have a concept in mind, these professionals will work with you to make certain that concept comes to life beautifully.

Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing and work is even better!!

Fantastic experience: They Were super nice and informative not only for the after care of my lip piercing but also the jewelry! Definatly going to be my first choice for my first tattoo!!!

Fantastic experience: I came in and got my Daith done by Utah and oh my gosh. Hands down best experience with a piercer ever. Such a nice person. She was extremely comforting and informative! And my piercing looks so perfect!

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience getting my nose pierced with John. He was super professional and informative, gentle with the piercing process, and overall a pleasant experience! The shop has super high quality body jewelry too. Totally worth the money. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: I've gotten piercings and tattoos done here. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Also they have always been very honest in what they are comfortable doing, what the results will possibly be, and reminding you what is realistic.

Fantastic experience: Legit shop. Every artist is crazy talented and super professional!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. Great staff. The only place I'll get work done. Jason is an amazingly skilled artist.

Fantastic experience: Nice, people, helped me schedule an appointment. Pretty decent so far, excited to get poked

Fantastic experience: My 6 year old Daughter has wanted her ear peirced for a while now so we decided to bring her in and let me tell you! Absolutely amazing experience. Utah took such good care of my daughter and walked her threw both piercing and made sure she was completely comfortable the entire time. She was calm and kind, extremely patient and just an incredible person in general. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for piercings make their way over and ask for Utah!

Fantastic experience: First time getting tatted here and I love it will deff come back

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have gotten two tattoos done here and are already set to get more done in the next few months.our artist is amazing,her name is Annette Martin.very clean and friendly environment. We would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Highly reccomend Delicious Ink to everyone I know. Tim the shop owner is an awesome dude. You may have to wait but it is BEYOND worth it for the quality of work you get. I will definitely be a lifer with this shop.

Fantastic experience: Utah is amazing! She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable! I really appreciated the way she took her time and explained everything to me step by step preparing me for what to expect. I was impressed with her knowledge and how much she cared about her work! No matter how many questions I asked it was all about me and making sure I had the best experience, which I did! Utah prepared me for the possibility there might be some discomfort, but it was absolutely pain free! She was friendly professional and puts the customer first. The entire shop is extremely clean and they take their customers health and safety very seriously. I will never go anywhere else

Fantastic experience: All of the staff are very kind and welcoming. Everything is very professional and clean. The atmosphere is nice. I reccomended seeing Utah for any piercings.

Fantastic experience: Great artists! I have gotten a few tattoos with different artists there and they all work well with you and do awesome pieces.

Fantastic experience: I secdulduded an appointment here to have my nose pierced and to switch out some jewelry from my previous pierced daith. They welcomed me right when I walked in and checked to make sure I'd been helped when Utah was getting paperwork for me to fill out. They have an incredible selection of jewelry. Utah made the whole process easy and comfortable. Everything was sterilized and set up in front of me. Utah told me what to expect when she pierced my nose and daith. She was also lovely enough to switch out my other daith jewelry for a new piece. She's amazing at what she dose and made me feel relaxed and comfortable the whole time. If your looking for a piercing this is your girl no questions asked.

Fantastic experience: The best tattoo and piercing parlor around. Not just for the ink, which is the best around, but for the people who work there. Not only are they the most talented artists you will get to work with, but they are the friendliest group of people I've met. My family of four has all been inked or pierced by them. Hundreds and hundreds of hours combined by artists there. I can't wait for my next appt in June!

Fantastic experience: Everyone is great and helpful. Highly recommend for pearcings and tattoos!

Fantastic experience: Best experience!! Annette is awesome at her job!!!!

Fantastic experience: John was awesome did a great job piercing my tragus
