Recently had a tattoo done here and wasnt impressed with the experience, cost, or the quality I received. I do not recommend this shop and will be going elsewhere in the future.

Best Tattoo Artists in Central Illinois! Ainsley is a genius and you won't find more talented artists anywhere around. Great atmosphere, great staff, excellent ink!

Harold Reavley

Had a large leg piece done, two 6 hour sittings. Everyone was great, went out of their way to make me comfortable. I had to reschedule my second sitting due to a death in the family, had no trouble at all getting it set up. Highly recommend them.

Kim Wayne

Amazing artists

Josh Dunn

Best tattoo shop in the state as far as I'm concerned! Very personable staff, awesome location, and the tattoos are insane. When I started seeing posts on their facebook I knew my next tattoo would be coming from them. I ended up getting it eventually, and I am VERY happy with it. They'll work with you to make sure it's perfect and have an awesome ability of getting ideas out of YOUR head, onto paper (then onto your body)!

Mina Cunningham

Ainslie is an amazing artist that will create exactly your vision. Laura will get you set up and they both have the coolest things in the front of the shop. A must stop for a novelty soda or a new tattoo.

Michelle Berry

The absolute best tattoo shop I've ever been to (and I've gotten tattoos at shops from coast to coast). Super friendly staff, amazing work, fabulous communication, and the most fair and honest pricing you'll find anywhere. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Vonda Mcconnell

Awesome atmosphere. Laura and Killian were beyond cool to work with. The customer service is top-notch.

Emily Scarbrough

The best place to get tattooed! I have gotten some amazing tattoos there. One tattoo by Caleb and three by Killian. All the artists are all super talented and Laura is always so kind. They also have an amazing little shop out front with the best socks on the planet. You should definitely go there.

My first time in this shop was 7-8-17. I came in after seeing a piercing special and seeing the rave reviews so decided to give it a try. Initially walking in I was surprised at how nice it is. They have an area of different things to shop for such as jewlery and other small things. I was greeted and started on paperwork. After being finished with my paperwork Laura brought me back for my piercings. I was disappointed that although there were a few dividers there was what felt like little privacy which can be intimidating when getting a private piercing. She opened her tools in front of me which is always appreciated and standard and she got to work on marking. After getting marks in place and looking I decided I was happy with placement and she got me clamped. I have to say this was the worst piercing pain I've ever felt out of my other 7 experiences. It was slow going through and my first question afterward was, did you not use lube? I was informed that she doesn't use lubrication which set me back. We had a conversation about why that was and tried to move on but I couldn't go through with the second piercing at that point. She seemed a bit nervous right off the bat and quite shakey. That mixed with the slow entrance and dry slide of the needle and the lack of privacy just did me in. The piercing was placed far too low and had to be taken out and healed. I now have to pay another shop to do it right. I don't think I'd be inclined to revisit for a piercing. That being said, the shop was clean, the people were friendly and as a piercer she had good table side manner.

Sheryl Painter

Unbelievable customer care. They are so clean, listen and take time to make sure you are comfortable and keep working to make your experience the best. Friendly staff, incredibly skilled artists, yet they listen to you. Super experience for a first time.

Every time I walk in, Laura greets me with a smile and answers any questions I have thoroughly. They sell the cutest antique jewelry in the shop, if you're not much into tattoos. Ainsley always displays amazing work via Facebook and Instagram, and their new artist Killian has became a personal favorite of mine. For being a generally new artist, he KILLS it with his designs, coloring, and shading. Not to mention his work is speedy and he's always focused. Vintage Karma is the absolute best!

Jennifer Thomas

Super clean, awesome funky decor. Ainslie was an excellent tattoo artist - and very talented. Will be going there again soon! <3

Caroline Luth

The place is very clean an the tattoo artists are very polite an friendly. I would recommend them.

James Welker

Best tattoo parlor around

Darcie Peck

Excellent experience. I love coming in here for my tattoos.

Emily Hinks

I am in the middle of tattoo #3 with Vintage Karma. The atmosphere is very laid back, but professional. It is impeccably clean and safety/health standards are way surpassing excellence. The staff is creative, and super friendly and the artistry is out of this world. A top notch establishment and I highly recommend it.

Dakota Jochums

Love everyone here great crowd of folks. They can make great art.

Brian Mast

The shop is great, and so are the people who work there. It's great to have a talented, reputable shop close by. Caleb does amazing work.

Zrks

Best shop in Illinois.

Nancy Keener

Amazing experience! Laura is so patient and knowledgeable and personable; she answered all my questions and is so accessible, especially during aftercare. This was my first ink, and it was important to me to support a female artist. Tash was outstanding. I loved the artwork she came up with, and she was incredibly professional. The shop has such a great, funky atmosphere; I'd hang out and drink a coffee and read a book there if that was a thing. Thank you, so much, everyone at VK for a stellar experience and ink that I'll love forever.

Devlin McKee

I love this shop! I have had all of my tattoos done here. Laura, who handles the scheduling and curates a cool curio shop, is great, even if she can't draw. The artists are all great and fun to work with. It's a cute place that feels super clean.

Dylan M

Great place. Excellent artists. I won't go anywhere else for my tattoos.

Jackie White

Absolutely love vintage karma. This is the only place I'll get a tattoo. My whole family goes here. I would let anyone of them tattoo me.

Jacqueline Hannah

This place is AMAZING. The artists are top notch, the space is beautiful. I've had all but one of my tattoos done here and will have many more done here. They are an LGBTQIA friendly business and as a woman I've felt very safe and respected in this space.

Evan Sims

Not into tattoos myself, but I've stopped in with friends a few times and the staff were always very friendly. They seem to do excellent work.

Eric Hiltner

I've been coming here for years. It's almost like I am a member of an extended family when I walk in there. Can't wait to go back for more.

Bro Sky

Absolutely the best place to get a tattoo

Evan Curry

Fantastic customer service and work

Nathan Carman

The people here were incredible. They know what they're doing and they want to make sure you know what you're getting before you get it. My artist was extremely patient while I picked out a font and explained everything to me the whole way. He was a great artist to do my first tattoo and I'm glad I went here for it.

chaostheory10x

Absolutely fantastic shop, got great artists who are very knowledgeable and very talented. Also cool knock knacks and apparel to buy as well.

McKenzie LaValle

This is an amazing studio! Very clean and all the artists are incredibly nice, competent and fantastic at what they do. I have been twice about 5 years apart and the quality has remained above and beyond. Worth the drive out from Champaign and then some.

Jay Robinson

For years I wanted a sleeve and had ideas of what I wanted on it. Part of it would require a cover up and had no idea how that would go. From my initial consult with Ainslie through the entire tattooing was a great experience! The ability to take my ideas and put it to a work of art on my arm is such a talent! Each member of the team at VK is awesome, friendly and amazing artist. I have since sent my daughter to have her tattoos done by VK and would not let anyone else tattoo me in the future.

Brooke French

I've had many piercings and tattoos from VK! All of the artists (Ainslie, Killian, and Caleb) put their full effort into every single piece of art they produce. I've had 12 tattoos done here! And Laura, the piercer, is very knowledgeable and super friendly! She's done 9 of my piercings and they all came out very fresh and perfect! I highly recommend going there for your next body mod, or even just to browse their unique little shop at the front of the store!

madison phillips

I went in after seeing all the wonderful reviews and I was definitely not disappointed! Everybody was super friendly. Caleb did my tattoo and it came out way better than I imagined it would! I gave him some creative control and he did not disappoint. This is definitely my go to place from now on!

Carrie Drennan

Friendly folks, super clean, love the decor. Check it out! :)

Joe Downs

Great people, great work, great everything. I couldnt recommend a better place to get a quality tattoo

Chad Scott

Ainslie does a great job. Highly recommend him to everyone.

Amanda Smith

Laura did a great job piercing my nose. She was very nice and explained everything that was going to happen. She was very professional, and the establishment was super clean. I felt at home when I walked in. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing or tattoo.

Sarah Baker

Amazing shop with awesome artists! Super clean, very professional, very reasonable. LGBT+ friendly. Also offer a wide selection of cool jewelry, socks and other gifts. I’ve gotten 3 pieces here, extremely happy with all of them. Most recent is pictured.
