Our Work
Art We're Proud Of
A glimpse into the pieces our clients have chosen to carry with them — each one a collaboration between artist and story.
Every piece we create starts with listening. At Next Generation Tattoo Shop, we turn your ideas into lasting art — done right, in a space where you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in.
From your first sketch to the final reveal, we offer a full range of tattoo, piercing, and beauty services — each delivered with care and attention to detail.
Every design is built from scratch — your concept, your vision, your story. Our artists collaborate with you to create something that's unmistakably yours.
Got an old piece that needs freshening up? We bring faded tattoos back to life with precision touch-ups that restore vibrancy and detail.
Professional, sterile piercings for ears, nose, and more. We use high-quality jewelry and take the time to make sure you're comfortable and informed.
Don't like that old tattoo? We specialize in transforming existing work into stunning new pieces — giving you a fresh start on your skin.
Complementary beauty services to keep your skin looking its best — before and after your tattoo. Because great art deserves great aftercare.
Not sure what you want yet? Bring your ideas (or none at all) to a no-pressure consultation and let's figure it out together — over coffee, no rush.
A glimpse into the pieces our clients have chosen to carry with them — each one a collaboration between artist and story.
Next Generation Tattoo Shop was born out of a simple belief: everyone deserves a space where their art is treated with respect, their comfort comes first, and the results speak for themselves. Located on South Ashland Avenue in Chicago, we've built a studio that feels more like a creative living room than a clinical shop.
Every needle is single-use, every surface is sanitized, and we follow the strictest sterilization protocols — because your health is non-negotiable.
First-timers and collectors alike feel at ease here. No judgment, no rush — just good people making great art together.
Rooted in the Chicago tattoo scene, our artists draw from a deep well of style, technique, and cultural inspiration to deliver work that stands out.
The best compliments come from the people who trusted us with their skin — here's what a few have shared.
"I walked in nervous and walked out with the most beautiful piece on my arm. The team made me feel comfortable the entire time — I couldn't recommend them more."
"They covered up an old regret with something absolutely stunning. I look at my arm and genuinely smile every time. Thank you, Next Generation!"
"Best piercing experience I've ever had — clean, professional, and the jewelry they offered was gorgeous. This is my go-to shop now for everything."
Whether you have a fully formed idea or just a feeling, we're here to help you bring it to life. Reach out today — your next piece is waiting.
Thanks for reaching out. We'll get back to you within 24 hours.
