Good Family Tattoo

Late last month my family and I went to get tattoos for a family member that we recently lost. For some of us, it was our first time experiencing this tattoo shop and all of us came out of there extremely happy, not only with the work they did on our tattoos, but for the kindness and their customer service. From the moment they opened those doors for those of us waiting outside until they opened, they were welcoming and had positive attitudes. We worked closely with Joel and Lillie and they were both fantastic. I can't thank them enough for the great experience that we had!!

I had the best experience here today from the moment I walked in the door. Joel made sure to greet everyone that was waiting for the doors to open. Very clean and every single staff person there was very helpful and social. The experience was spot on from the start. I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercings. Definitely will be going back in the future.

Got my Belly button pierced today. I was pierced by Taylor and she was amazing, payed so much attention to hygiene and placement and talked me through the whole process. Everyone was so kind and the process took MAYBE 10 minutes from walking into the shop to leaving. would definitely recommend and will be back for any future piercings.

I recently had a fantastic piercing experience at Good Family Tattoo, thanks to Taylor's exceptional skills and professionalism. From the moment I walked in, Taylor made me feel comfortable and explained the entire process thoroughly. The attention to hygiene and precision during the piercing was impressive. I left with a awesome snake bite piercing and a positive impression of Taylor's expertise. Highly recommend for a top-notch piercing experience!

I went to get my septum done the day after Christmas so there was a bit of a line but the receptionist was very helpful with bringing out additional chairs to sit on. This was my first time going to this kind of establishment, recommended by many good friends. The atmosphere inside is very chill, being a minor, me and my guardian had to sign a quick form at the desk. Before my actual piercing, Joel, the owner of the studio, came out to the front to give quick and thorough instructions on piercing aftercare. Joel was the one to pierce my septum. We talked while he was prepping his equipment, a very forward and outgoing fellow. During the actual piercing, he explained every step and skillfully slid in a titanium barbell. This was actually the first piercing I got to experience since I got my ear piercings very young, I rate the pain 1/10!! I was pleasantly surprised. Other than having to pay afterwards, Joel wrote me a note of what to do to my septum and when in order to have the best healing possible. Overall, it was a great experience! Although I would have liked to see more people of color other than myself and my family, everyone was very welcoming and comforting. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come again. I would also like to add that they have handmade purses and shawls available at the front desk; a cute little touch to the studio! :D

I've went for years, won't go anywhere else either. In the past month I've went 3 times. My grandparents handwriting, 2 piercings, a touch up tattoo. I'll continue going as well. I know the owners wife and they are kind hearted amazing people who give back to the community. Always have quality people working for them as well

Brought my daughter here so we could get our noses pierced. Ashley was exceptional. Very thorough and knowledgeable and took care to ease our nerves. Extremely happy with our piercings!

Absolutely amazing shop. Been going here for years! The most talented artists and by far the nicest people I’ve ever met , all in one shop! Joel the owner is the coolest and nicest dude one could ever meet!

I went to see Taylor to get a piecing changed after a bad experience at another place. She was so helpful, kind and best of all she explained each thing she was doing before she did it. And it didn’t hurt at all! She did such a good job I’ll definitely be going back if I want another piercing done or need help getting jewelry changed again.

I hadn't had a new tattoo for years and I went to Good Family twice, ZOE did my tattoos and did an exceptional job! She's fantastic and a fantastic artist. Great place and such warm welcome when you arrive. Definitely will return!!!

I got my ears pierced by them about 3 months ago and I came back because one of them started to get irritated and infected. They were so kind and helped me so much, they were able to help me treat it. It is doing great now and I love them so much!

They are amazing! All the artists are awesome. They have a clean shop and awesome vibes. If you are looking for an amazing tattoo, don't hesitate to stop in Good Family. They won't disappoint. This is where I tell everyone to go. I won't go anywhere else for a tattoo. Just a few of the tattoos that they have done.

We went in for a nostril piercing for my daughter. This was her third piercing from Good Family. They have always been professional, courteous, and friendly. They make sure to check in with their customer every step of the way. The establishment is also very clean and comfortable. I am sure we will be back again.

This place is amazing the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable I love going there they make you feel so comfortable and like you are part of there family. Joel the owner is outstanding kind so talented he did my sons first tattoo when he turned 18 that was 9 years ago now my daughter turned 18 and Joel did her first tattoo we were so excited that Joel was going to do her tattoo my daughters face lite up when he said I might be the one doing your tattoo he did a beautiful job on her tattoo looks amazing thank you for making her feel so comfortable tattoo is beautiful can't wait until its my turn thanks again. Michele and Lexi

I’ve gotten my piercings & a few tats from here. Everyone here is so kind & helpful. Zoe & Kathleen have done my tats & they’re both great!!

I got my helix and industrial piercing there and they’re both healing beautifully with little complications. The staff there are friendly, professional, and it’s very clean. I recommend! :)

Zoe is the bomb! This girl is young but man she is so detailed. Her lines are on point, her shading is fabulous I wish I could give ten stars.

I went here with a friend for my first ever tattoo, and they were so kind! I showed up for a walk-in and they got me set up right away. I wanted the word “Love” written in my grandma’s handwriting, and the artist working with me was so great. He took a picture of my grandma’s handwriting and printed out multiple different sizes of her handwriting to see which one I liked best. He explained the difference between each of the sizes and how they will look over time, which was so helpful! I was nervous but my artist was great, he explained what he was doing and answered all of my questions!! I definitely recommend this place :) it’s overall so welcoming and everyone seemed lovely!

There are not enough positive things I can say about this place. From Joel who runs his business in such a positive manner, to the front staff who are supper friendly, to the artist who focus on the client rather than the money. There is no where else in Lake County let alone Illinois to go for ink or piercings!!! Thank you good family for feeling welcoming to everyone and respecting all types of individuals!

i loveeee it here. everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. i got my first tattoo yesterday and they offered me snacks so i wouldn’t get lightheaded. andy was really good, my tattoo came out beautiful and his line work is amazing. highly recommend :)
