GUEST ARTISTS

We always look forward to hosting guest artists here at Great Lakes Tattoo and the month of September is a prime example of just that. We have a busy month in store welcoming six guest tattooers to sit in with us from all over the country and Canada.  Each tattooer visiting this month has their own unique style and spin on the tried and true style of American traditional tattooing. Through bright color palettes, black and grey shading techniques and unique designs, the original iconic imagery and design style of tattoos is kept alive while adding modern detail. We are pleased to welcome all of our guest artists to Chicago and Great Lakes Tattoo and look forward to the tattoos they make during their guest spots here at GLT. To book in with any of our guest artists click on their name below to be directed to their instagram. Any other questions can be directed to Great Lakes Tattoo.
