Freedom Ink Tattoos

Experiencia negativa: ABSURDLY, INSANELY expensive. They gave me no quote when I described my piece and booked my appointment, then hit me with a SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLAR charge after I waited an entire hour past my appointment time and then spent 2 HOURS getting tattooed. That is TWICE the rate I paid to get my entire first sleeve done, by a master and shop OWNER. Completely unjustifiable, and utterly RIDICULOUS. Edit to add: Their response is that I "was quoted" - that's a lie. Was your little book present for the conversation I had with the artist? No. No price was mentioned to me, either time. And, as this review should make obvious, I wouldn't have agreed to that price the first time. The second time I had to choose between having the same artist finish what he started, and having someone else pick up where he left off. Dishonest response from an insanely expensive business.

Experiencia fantástica: Getting tattooed by Ezra was a life-changing experience. Not only is he the best artist I’ve ever met, but he’s also so handsome I almost forgot I was getting stabbed repeatedly with a 7 round liner. Honestly, 10/10 would let him ruin my skin again. My eagle tattoo on my leg almost looks as amazing as him.

Experiencia fantástica: had such a good experience! everyone was very chill, welcoming, and kind. i got my tattoo done by Zach, who is very talented, and my tattoo is absolutely beautiful! highly highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Just got my first tattoo here today and the staff was very welcoming! I was a bit nervous, they put me at ease. Clean building, and they did a great job.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been using Freedom Ink for a couple months now and Sam is an EXCEPTIONAL artist. He goes above and beyond with his work. While being there I have seen some amazing tattoos by all the artist. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Went for a girls weekend to Peoria. Walked in with a few basic ideas and within an hour we were out. Ezra was fantastic and very personable! It's now the next morning and there's no redness or soreness. Will definitely be back again!

Experiencia fantástica: I've gotten a couple tattoos elsewhere but came to this one for my latest for its renown. I gave Sam quite the challenge and he did an incredible job.

Experiencia fantástica: Tim will be missed... Zack is doing a fantastic job with the shop... I have tattoo from every person in the shop and stood in line at 7am for the tim fundraiser. josh did the flash I got that day... it's my fav place to get ink done

Experiencia fantástica: After a lifetime of saying “never, not me” I had a YOLO moment when my girls and our wonderful Peoria friend decided to get matching humming bird tattoos to commemorate our trip (we’re from the UK). I figured the time was right and decided to join them. Terry was great. Gave me every chance to back out, talked me through the whole thing, started with the little lines to get me used to it before going for the longer ones. I was fascinated and watched the whole thing. The pain was negligible and now, 3 weeks later I still love my little bird, and he is perfectly done with clear and graceful lines. The place itself was very hygienic and you could tell they take their business seriously. The guys themselves were respectful and just lovely, and made the whole thing an unforgettable experience. Thanks! (Still not getting another though )

Experiencia fantástica: I went in with my sister as a walk-in, and Sam was AMAZING! Not only did he draw up an original for me—It was my fourth tattoo, however it was behind my ear and I was a little nervous. He was very reassuring and by the time he got started on the tattoo I realized I had nothing to worry about! I’m beyond grateful for the results, I love it! An amazing 21st bday experience. I will definitely be coming back for my next tatty

Experiencia fantástica: The tattoo I just got done here was my second-ever tattoo and my first one here. The artist, Zach, did a few iterations of my idea and was happy to change a few things when I realized, "I know I said (this), but I think I mean (that)." I was intimidated going in because I thought I might feel like a rookie. (My first tattoo was ages ago.) No need to worry. The staff answered all my questions politely and fully, and they were fun to talk to during the tattoo. Everything looked super clean, like a nice dentist's office level of hygiene and tidiness. Much cooler wall art and relaxed atmosphere than at the dentist tho. The tattoo is healing well and I love it, wouldn't change a thing.

Experiencia fantástica: Updated** Tim, Zach, and Sam are all amazing. I have been tattooed by each of them and would recommend them to anyone! They do such greay work, from fine line to American traditional and everything in between!!! Always professionalism here at Freedom Ink! Such great work being pumped out by all the artists! I was most recently tattooed by Tim... and WOW...Amazing work! And, he is a genuinely nice person to boot! Can't say enough good things about this place!

Experiencia negativa: Soooooo...I think this studio and the owner are self absorbed thieves. I purchased a gift certificate for a Christmas gift last year on December 16th of 2022. The person went in there to use it yesterday on the 22th of December 2023. They were told it had expired and lost it value because a year had gone by. Well the gift card wasn't even gave until Christmas. To not honor this is complete unprofessional business. I guess they like taking hard earned money from people. Your shop is NOT celebrity owned actually your a JOKE! KARMA ON YOU✌️

Experiencia negativa: This place deserves zero stars for their company policy. I received two gift certificates last Christmas for 100 and 55 dollars. I tried to go redeem these gift certificates and get a tattoo on December 22nd. The gift cards were purchased on 11/26/22 and 12/16/22 and they now have lost 75 percent of value! Worth a 25$ and 8.75$ It’s Christmas season, they have been given hard earned money and would rather steal value of the gift for themselves!! This is the way these people conduct business! That’s awful!

Experiencia fantástica: Had Tim do my first ever tattoo and had an incredible experience. Super professional, clean, and informative. Tattoo turned out great and would absolutely recommend their business.

Experiencia fantástica: I was a walk in with a quote I held onto for 30+ years. What a great experience I had with your shop. I'm older with only 1 other tattoo. Isaac greeted me with respect and friendliness! He took a picture of my quote I was so grateful he didn't delete it after I left. I lost it after I left the shop. Thank goodness for Isaac! Zack did my tattoo a few days later! Zach was awesome! He too was respectful, friendly, meticulous! He listened to what I was asking for. I am very pleased! Thank you Zach!

Experiencia fantástica: Had an incredible experience here for my first tattoo. Tim did an excellent job and his attention to detail and speed was amazing. Will definitely be coming back here for any future tattoos I have.

Experiencia fantástica: My visit to Freedom Ink was amazing. From the moment I walked in to the shop I was impressed. They have a large reception area with an incredible array of art and you will immediately notice that the place is spotless! I had an appointment with Tim and when I arrived he had my artwork ready and we got right to work. My piece is nothing short of spectacular, Tim is a master of the american traditional style, and I'm so glad I found him. Before I left, I made an appointment for my next session and I'm really looking forward to it!

Experiencia fantástica: Tim Beck and the whole Freedom Ink crew were awesome to work with. They were really helpful and were very responsive to my emails and helped me make a great choice. Tim's work surpassed my expectations and I'm looking forward to scheduling my next session.

Experiencia fantástica: Tim is an amazing artist and a genuinely nice guy! It was my first tattoo with Freedom ink and will def not be my last! We couldn't have been anymore please with cleanliness and the atmosphere of his shop. I will be highly recommending them!!

Experiencia fantástica: We are so lucky to have such an incredible shop here in Peoria. Tim is a world class tattooer who respects the art. Whether you're nerding out over Bert Grimm acetates or walking in for your very first piece, Freedom Ink will treat you right.

Experiencia fantástica: With her terrific ideas, Tess contributed significantly to my abstract Phoenix tattoo. Lots of colors and drip lines!

Experiencia fantástica: Saw Tim for my first tattoo. Tim did an awesome job with a custom sketch. Extremely professional and super fast. Will definitely return for any and all work. Highly recommend if you are in the area or in my case a four hour drive away, definitly worth the drive to get an amazing tattoo.

Experiencia fantástica: My 5 tattoos have all been at Freedom Ink. The shop is so clean and gives such a great funky vibe. The Tattoo artists are thorough and so talented. I highly recommend making an appointment. Tess has done 4 of my 5 tattoos and they are outstanding. She is truly an artist. If you are concerned about quality and cleanliness, it's worth every penny!

Experiencia fantástica: I got my first tattoo done by Tim Beck. It was a great experience. He drew up exactly what I was looking for and finished with this awesome piece in just a couple hours. I would definitely recommend Freedom Ink.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. Tess is so awesome. I'm 65 and just got my first tattoo. She did an amazing job with this owl on my arm!!!

Experiencia negativa: Super unhappy with this shop. Was going to get my first tattoo and got quoted a price. Waited a month for the appointment and they (zach) added $$$ to the price last minute. They wanted $700 for a tattoo that takes an hour. Unreal business practice for a place that has good reviews. Went to Mojo studios and they said they’d do it for $250.

Experiencia fantástica: Great shop, overall, a very professional and talented team. Tess did a great job on my tattoo, she's an amazing artist. I highly recommend this shop!

Experiencia fantástica: Been getting tattoos here for close to 10 years. Impossible to get a bad tattoo here. Tim Beck is was of the best tattoo artists in the nation and only allows top notch artists to work out of his shop. Everyone that works there is talented.

Experiencia fantástica: Tim Beck knocked this tattoo out of the park! Very professional and friendly. Exactly as I had envisioned this tattoo on my arm. I will be booking another tattoo in the near future. Thanks, Tim.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend - I’ve had excellent tattoo experiences at Freedom Ink! Tim collaborated really well to ensure I got what I was wanting while making sure it fit and looked well in the area. Tattooing was really quick, healed well, and results are always awesome. I continue to be impressed at how well he takes an idea in my head and turns it into reality.

Experiencia fantástica: Tim Beck is an amazing artist and a complete profesional. My family bought me gift certificates for Freedom Ink for my birthday because I have talked about a design that I wanted for a long time. I had spoken with Tim about it over the course of a couple of years whenever my wife or son was in getting work done. We scheduled the appointment and gave Tim the idea's I had and the focal points I wanted. Included what the tattoo meant to me and from that he nailed it. I would not have wanted this done by anyone else because it would have fallen short of what I envisioned. Truly the best at what he does. As always, the shop has a great vide, art work all over the walls to give you ideas. Very patriotic and supportive of first responders and military/vets. The music is great the staff and all the other artist are awesome. They support each other by coming over and looking at how the work. Great place. Could not recommend a better shop or artist. Thanks Tim! Until the next bro!

Experiencia fantástica: Is he a wizard or a tattoo artist? Nobody really knows. I gave Tim Beck a tricky idea in an even tougher spot and he managed to pull of this beautiful piece as an homage to my pets that are more important to me than anything. I sat in the chair maybe 10 minutes and the dude was takin pics and throwin a glove on me, half the time he was mixing colors. He’s the Ricky Bobby of tattooing.

Experiencia fantástica: I was pretty nervous about getting a tattoo. I didn't get his name, but the young man at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. My artist was Zach. He put me at ease and was very personable. I couldn't be happier with my experience and the results. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks guys!

Experiencia fantástica: Nothing here other than the utmost professionalism being projected by the entire staff all the way through. It was my first tattoo in almost 20 years and I was extremely unsure of my design I picked or placement, the artists helped size it appropriately for my body size and the location I wanted it. A short time later I was walking out the door with a brand new tattoo that I absolutely love! I have since scheduled 4 more sessions with that artist and a couple more with another local artist there! This shop also has some super exclusive guest artists that drop through from time to time so I’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for those guys to come in as well! Keep up the great work Freedom Ink Tattoos! And thank you again for the awesome ink!

Experiencia fantástica: I went to Tim Beck for the first time today for a black and gray perched eagle, and it turned out amazing! I had been wanting a tattoo from Tim for a while now, and it was well worth the wait. I can’t wait to go back for another tattoo! Highly recommend Freedom Ink, and Tim is such an amazing artist!! Thanks again, such a great experience!

Experiencia fantástica: I waited 4 months for Tim Beck to create a tattoo for me. He was booked up. But I've heard nothing but good things about him and this tattoo meant a lot to me. It was definitely worth the wait! I absolutely love my ink everytime I look at it! I knew what i wanted in my mind. I just needed someone to draw it up for me. NAILED IT! Oh ya, and he also inked it up super fast. The guy at the front desk is awesome! I don't know how you could be in a bad mood around him. So social and cheerful. He definitely Makes you feel welcomed as soon as you walk in the door. Shop is CLEAN! And the tattooist are all nice and smile. I'm already thinking of my next tattoo to get...in due time. Thanks Freedom Ink! I will definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: I HIGHLY recommend Freedom Ink, specifically Tim Beck. Tim has now tattooed me 4 times and I am so excited to finish my left arm. I can assure you, he will not disappoint.

Experiencia fantástica: It was an amazing experience. The tattoo looks amazing and is healing great. It was my first professional tattoo so I was a little nervous but everyone there was great!

Experiencia fantástica: I was a 1st time customer. Clean shop, great music and a good vibe overall. It was worth the wait! Tess provided me with a beautiful remembrance of my late husband. An art piece I will always treasure. Thank you.

Experiencia negativa: I got my last tattoo more than a year ago (maybe 2?) as covid restrictions started to lift. Sam Lott (aka Red Grizzly) was my artist. While the subject of my tattoo looks good (a beetle), he was way too rough, resulting in significant bruising that I thought would fade with time. Well sadly, it won't. I consulted other tattoo artists and eventually an MD and all said this was "a blowout" and that I would either need laser removal or just to cover it. It looks terrible. It makes me sad and embarrassed of my arm. When contacting Freedom Ink with my concerns, I was continually brushed off with excuses like "it happens all the time" and "just massage it out." I didn't appreciate the dismissal, lack of accountability, and no offer to make it right. There are a lot of great artists around the area, save yourself permanent regret (and likely money too) by NOT choosing Freedom Ink. This snobby crew thinks they can do no wrong.

Experiencia fantástica: Zack did a great job on a very sentimental piece for both my wife and me. Clean shop with a great vibe. Price was above average but you get what you pay for. Cheap tattoos are not good and good tattoos are not cheap. Absolutely recommend them for your tats.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a great experience at Freedom Ink. Alli is a tremendous artist and works with you to make sure your tattoo turns out the way you want it. Everybody else there was great, too, and it was a fun atmosphere to sit & chat while adding some great new art.

Experiencia fantástica: Went to Freedom Ink for tattoo cover up, they were very informative about what I needed to do for best results.Tim did the cover up turned out better than I even expected.Great Job! Would recommend Freedom Ink Tim and his crew for any tattooing needs.Thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been tattooed all over the world and been in shops all across the US. Freedom ink is the coolest shop by far. Super clean and eclectic. The entire atmosphere is a vibe. I had an amazing experience with Tim but as I waited for my appointment I witnessed nothing but complete professionalism between the other artists and their clients. I will be a return costumer for sure!

Experiencia fantástica: Just got my first tattoo here, it's a great shop! Everyone was super friendly and helpful, and Tim did an amazing job! Will definitely be going back soon. Update: been back a few times, shop is still great and Tim is still an amazing artist!

Experiencia fantástica: I was able to get in on a last minute walk-in with Noah (posted on social media). He explained everything I could and couldn’t do with the tattoo idea I had. He was super professional and courteous. I absolutely love my results!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience, Ally was super on point as far as expressing my design choice. Her technique and linework were flawless! Gentle touch even when pulling a straight, clean outline. 10/10 will definitely get needled again. Thank you Freedom Ink!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been using Freedom Ink for a few years now. Owner Tim Beck and his team are second to none in delivering beyond customers expectations. Highly recommend this shop and the artists! Thanks Tim & Tess….more to come…

Experiencia positiva: I’ve gotten tattoos done here before and I love their work. Great place. But a while back I went back three different times to try and get a “get what you get tattoo” and twice they’ve told me they’ll call me back and never did. Went back a third time and they eventually told me that since I’ve already gotten two gwyg tattoos that they can’t tattoo me anymore. They’ve wasted my time many times instead of telling me the first time.

Experiencia fantástica: My third tattoo and my first from Tim Beck. All I can say is he far exceeded my expectations. Absolutely amazing talent. I’m so happy I listened to his advice on the colors and location of my tattoo. I really couldn’t be more happy. Tim has a beautiful, clean shop with an incredibly friendly staff who are also extremely talented. I don’t see myself ever using any other shop in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Loved every second of my experience! The atmosphere of the shop is so cool and relaxing. Everyone is friendly and extremely talented. Definitely happy I came here for my first tattoo!

Experiencia fantástica: Tim has a beautiful clean shop here. He is an old school artist, who has been doing tats for 25 years. As with all nationally known ink artists his rate is not cheap. I'm glad I got to have some of his work. Keep in mind he is 3 months out on schedule at this time.

Experiencia fantástica: A truly exceptional shop. From the moment I walked in I was impressed with the welcoming vibe and casual, yet professional, atmosphere. It was clear throughout my two sessions that Tim has assembled a top-notch team. Everyone was happy, and the entire shop exuded positivity. Zach was awesome to work with and gave me everything I asked for. If you’re thinking about a tattoo do yourself a favor and check out Zach and Freedom Ink…it was worth the wait! Thanks, Zach, for a killer tattoo! I can’t wait to come back!!

Experiencia fantástica: I visited every shop I could find and when I entered this shop I was sold instantly. I’ve been getting ink done once a month for the last year. It’s a relaxed, aesthetic and clean environment. The artists are professionally trained by Tim Beck, an amazing artist and tattooer, and very adept at their craft. I’ve been inked by two artists there and will get one from each artist as a way to show my support, but Tess is my go to artist. She’s versatile, easy going and she’s honest with me when I bring in something that doesn’t flow well with what I have. A true professional. I’m looking forward to all the tattoos I’ll be getting in the coming years.

Experiencia fantástica: Saw Alli for a custom tattoo and she knocked it out of the park with her design, professionalism and expertise. The appointment was swift and comfortable. The man at the front desk was very friendly and helpful and the entire shop was aesthetically pleasing. This is a place you can trust with your tattoo(s). I have and will continue to recommend them! 10/10

Experiencia fantástica: Freedom ink is hands down the best place for your tattoo needs/wants. It has a very welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. Super friendly staff! They ensure that your piece is exactly what you want!! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for a first tattoo. Clean, friendly, and professional. Tim was exactly the kind of person I needed. He made my vision a reality. Took feedback and worked with me. I would recommend to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Freedom Ink is the gold standard for Central Illinois tattoos. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and appreciated, even by the front desk workers. After some very disappointing experiences at other shops around the area, Freedom Ink will be my home for all future tattoos. Thank you Alli for your incredible personality and even more for your impeccable tattoo skills! Cannot wait for my next appointment with you guys!!

Experiencia fantástica: 10/10. Freedom Ink is an amazing shop with friendly and super talented artists. Every time I go and get a tattoo by any of them I am blown away with the finished product. I cannot recommend them enough for anyone wanting a clean and crisp looking design. Only shop in the area I go to anymore.

Experiencia fantástica: Freedom ink is definitely the place to choose for your tattoo!! Comfy and fun environment and all the artists are friendly and welcoming!! I will definitely be back big thanks to Zach Dole for doing an amazing job!!

Experiencia fantástica: Traveled over 4 hours & our experience was worth every minute of travel time. I was tattooed by Tim Beck, my son’s girlfriend tattooed by Alli Davis. Both were excellent!! Shop was clean, scheduling was easy, staff was nice. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be returning soon!

Experiencia fantástica: Tattoo was awesome and Tim does excellent work. Very personable and gave me everything I wanted. My wife also had a tattoo done there with the same results. I would highly recommend getting anything you are looking to get inked done at Freedom Ink

Experiencia fantástica: I went to see Tim Beck at Freedom Ink for my first tattoo and have nothing but good things to say. All of the staff are friendly and everything is kept clean! I will definitely be going back!

Experiencia fantástica: About a year prior to walking into Freedom Ink, someone really special designed me a tattoo. Found myself back in the Peoria area and wanted to find the best artist available to do the work I wanted. Researched heavily and everywhere online and offline pointed to Tim Becks shop. That's who I chose. Walking into the shop, it felt perfect. Wonderfully decorated. Great atmosphere. The shop is super clean and everyone was friendly. My original design had a lot going on and I knew it would have to be altered some to make it more tattooable. From step one, Tim was upfront and honest about what would work and what wouldn't. I put my trust in his vision and expertise. He took every single aspect of what I needed from the original design and in about 20 minutes had a tattoo drawn up for me. He suggested colors that would compliment each other as well as my skin tone and he was right on. I was absolutely floored. It was perfect and I was all in. Tim was personable and cool to talk with as he started working. He's serious and professional about the work he does. The other artists in the shop were obviously having a great time working with their clients near us. Talking and joking. It was a fun atmosphere. My tattoo takes up the entire length of the inside of my forearm, included several different colors and some really intricate shading and detail. From start to finish it took about an hour and half. He's fast and his work is absolutely incredible. I don't understand how Tim sees what he sees and does what he does but I know I'm glad I chose him. He has a brilliant gift and I won't go anywhere else. From my experience, if you want the best, it's Freedom Ink, period.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly Recommend freedom ink! Everyone that works there is super friendly. Tim did an amazing job on my tattoo! It’s everything I wanted and more!

Experiencia fantástica: Tim did an amazing job on my tattoo. The shop is AMAZING, the staff was so friendly and welcoming, and Tim does grade a work. I will for sure be returning for more work.

Experiencia fantástica: Tim beck does amazing work. Set up another session with him the same day I got my first one by him. Highly recommend this shop for your tattoos.

Experiencia fantástica: I entrusted Tim Beck, owner of Freedom Ink Tattoos, with several large tattoo pieces to form a sleeve. A couple were very important to me & he knocked them out of the park. His knowledge & skills are unbelievable. His shop is VERY professional with very talented artists! Highly recommend!!

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first tattoo. Couldn’t be happier. Everyone loves it and comments on the details. Tim is amazing and his patience with this being my first was much appreciated!! The staff was very friendly. Beautiful clean shop highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: This was not my first tattoo, but it was my first tattoo at Freedom Ink. On a whim, I made the drive to Peoria for a GWYG tattoo, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The staff was super friendly and they make you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. The shop was super clean, and it has a really cool atmosphere. But the best part of the entire trip was I was actually able to get my tattoo done by Tim Beck himself (I’m pretty sure that doesn’t happen all the time). From the placement of the stencil, to laying down the ink, he is an absolute tattoo master. I will definitely be scheduling an appointment with him to get some more work done.

Experiencia fantástica: I recieved the sickest, most well done tattoo I've ever seen by Tim Beck. Not only was he obviously skilled in his craft, he was clean and professional. The staff was super friendly and they make you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. The shop was super clean (one of the girls was even wiping off the leaves on a plant when I showed up ). I enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be returning. I'm proud to have this tattoo on my body and even have friends who are jealous I have a tattoo by thee Tim Beck. Dude was like Edward Scissorhands but with a needle. Purely magical .

Experiencia fantástica: I got my first tattoo here with Tim and couldn’t be happier! The quality of the work is unmatched. The team at Freedom Ink were professional and welcoming. The location is clean and bright. I couldn’t recommend Tim higher!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place! It was a great atmosphere and everyone was so chill to talk with. My tattoo was geometric and down my spine with crisp straight lines. I'll definitely be coming again for more tattoos in the future! Thank you, Tim!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband had an idea for a tribute tattoo for his brothers that were in his humvee when they were struck by an IED in Iraq. Tim Beck was able to take his general idea and came up with a very creative and detailed design. My husband loves it and so do his brothers that were with him that day. Tim was super friendly and professional. He is such a humble guy and would recommend him and his shop to anyone looking for a good tattoo.

Experiencia fantástica: From the minute I walked into this studio I felt welcome. I was just there to get a gift certificate but that turned into a beautiful arm piece. Kai works the front and is amazing at his job. I talked to him about the piece I wanted and he told me Ali was the artist for me. I booked my appointment. Ali IS amazing! She is a great conversationalist and a great artist. Can't wait to book my next one.

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly atmosphere and quality work. Artist are professionals who are down to earth. Just got my 3rd tattoo done by Tessa! Highly recommended! Thanks Freedom Ink! Best in the business.

Experiencia fantástica: I've had tattoos done elsewhere, but I have to say that this experience at Freedom Ink was next to none. The artists were all so welcoming and friendly. Tim was my artist and he is beyond exceptional. The lines are impeccable and he was so great to work with. I may have to visit again

Experiencia fantástica: If you need a tattoo look no farther than Freedom Ink and especially Tim Beck. The shop is amazingly clean and they play some awesome music. Tim did a sweet traditionalist eagle that he designed for me on my upper left arm. During the whole time Tim was tattooing we were able to talk about anything under the sun. I was able to meet some of the other artists in the shop and they were all extremely friendly and seemed to be VERY talented. If you are going to get a piece of art on your body that is permanent don't go cheap on price, Freedom Ink is worth the price and the atmosphere is awesome.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome work done by Tim and Alli. Would definitely recommend this place for a tattoo. Both artist hands are very gifted. My wife and I only trusted freedom ink for these very special tattoos in memory of our daughter who passed.

Experiencia fantástica: Tim beck did my tattoo and I absolutely love it ❤️ He was very professional and I liked that we had a conversation throughout him doing my tattoo. The shop was very clean and like I said before very professional. The whole team was fun and goofy which In my opinion is a awesome trait to have. I definitely recommend going to freedom ink. Thank you so much guys.

Experiencia negativa: I was very disappointed with my most recent experience with Freedom Ink. I have been going to Tim and Freedom Ink for 12 years now. He did my first tattoo and 80% of all my tattoo work. I now live in Texas and wanted to add onto a half sleeve Tim did, so I called and set up an appointment in September inquiring around Christmas. The front desk person said he had an opening on December 24th first thing when the shop opens. I asked if he was sure they were open that day, as I expected them to be closed. He reassured me they were open. He then proceeded to ask Tim if it was okay I booked a double-time slot that day since I don't plan on coming back to Peoria often and they went ahead with the booking. Only after that was confirmed, I made travel arrangements to come back for the holidays based around this appointment. I was not planning a trip home without this tattoo appointment given the pandemic and additional cost of flying home. A little over two weeks before I was due to fly out, I get a call that they are in fact closed on Christmas Eve and the next available wasn't until after I was flying home. I asked if they could see about switching out someone else's appointment who was local, as I had done previously for someone else when I still lived in Peoria. I'm not sure if that was attempted or not but Kai, a different front desk person than before, let me know that Tim would reach out and personally try to work this out. Tim never called me. In fact, I called the shop back four different times over the next week trying to get an answer. Tim did finally Facebook message me after a week of me calling the shop and said I'd probably have to reschedule or refund. I asked if it was possible to come in before the shop opened at 11am on the 23rd since this was in no way my fault and I was coming from out of state for this appointment. That request wasn't even addressed. He just said I'd have to cancel or reschedule. Kai was very understanding and sympathetic and honestly was the only thing that made this encounter bearable, but Tim lacked the professionalism and customer service that I expected from him. As a long-time, repeat customer who has referred countless people to not only his shop, but him personally, I felt like I was really left out to dry in this scenario. This was their mistake and they did nothing to fix it or make up for it. Needless to say, I will not be returning to Tim or his shop for any future tattoos, which is a bummer because he does great work. I just can't support someone who treats his customers like this, though.

Experiencia fantástica: Finally decided to get my first tattoo and all I can say is I was wowed by the whole experience! From getting my appointment to the finishing touches I felt such an inviting atmosphere and enthusiasm for the art. Mr. Kyle was very kind in explaining the process even though I didn't have a clue what I was getting myself into! He got me in for an appointment that week and even went the extra mile to honor my request to have a female tattoo artist do my tattoo since I was a bit shy about placement exposure. Ms. Tess went above and beyond to make sure not only that my tattoo was absolutely perfect but also that the whole experience of getting my first tattoo was pleasantly memorable. She cleaned up the design to make it look flawless, walked me through every step of the process, and set up a privacy screen for me so I would feel comfortable. Not only did she perfect the design, she was SO patient in helping me find the perfect placement no matter how many times it took moving the stencil a smidgen to the right or to the left...and believe me there were quite a bit of those! You could definitely tell that all the tattoo artists make cleanliness a very high priority and want to do everything they can to make sure you are completely thrilled with your new artwork. I was super nervous and shy about getting my first tattoo but after the experience at Freedom Ink I'm already planning my second one! Worth every penny!

Experiencia fantástica: The best of the best. Tim and his team are professional, easy to work with, kind, and absolutely incredible artists. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my tattoos.

Experiencia fantástica: I just recieved the most memorable tattoo. I lost my dad recently and wanted an amazing tribute to the best dad in the world! Tim Beck blew my exceptions out of the water! Hands down the best tattoo ever!!!! The detail of my dads fingerprint is extremely impressive. I would recommend him and his shop to everyone. Extremely clean and professional!

Experiencia fantástica: I got my first tattoo from Tim about a month ago. I was pretty picky about what I wanted, but Tim worked with me and redrew it twice and I couldn't be happier with the final product! Although I was nervous, the shop is so clean and professional that it put me at ease and I knew I made the right decision. Highly recommend Freedom Ink for tattoos, especially your first. They know what they're doing and you'll never doubt the quality you're gonna get.

Experiencia fantástica: Got my first tattoo at Freedom Ink a couple of weeks ago. Very cool place, clean, friendly staff and the artists do some amazing art work!

Experiencia fantástica: Took my daughter, Scotti, here for her first tattoo today. Jason did an amazing job, not only was the tattoo beautiful but I sat and waited for her 3.5 hours of just amazing customer service by all the staff with every person that walked through the door. What an amazing first experience for her! 10/10

Experiencia fantástica: I got my first tattoo done by Tim a few days ago and I'm still obsessing over how awesome it turned out. I gave him my idea and he RAN with it. When he showed me I fell in love immediately because he captured exactly what I was wanting (a Pumpkin with a Halloween theme). He made me feel super comfortable while getting it and it didn't take long at all. I will go to Tim for all of my tattoos. I would also feel comfortable going to anyone in the shop because they were all so incredibly nice and talented and you could tell they loved what they do.
