Fiancé and i came in for tattoos and left extremely happy (his was a cover up of two pieces). well more than likely work with this place again

BEST TATTOO SHOP! Dave has a true talent and passion on what he does, he gets all the details. Best pricing in town. Highly recommend. You wont be disappointed.

THE BEST!!! My FAVORITE... I drive over a hour.. Just to go to him... I have been to others (always end up disappointed) and have over 20 tattoos. Dave has done adleast 13 of them. Between cover ups and me being the biggest baby he has been fantastic.. CLEAN...SAFE...OUTSTANDING ART WORK...FAST..AND.... I.. LOVE ALL MY TATTOOS... THANK YOU ....

Got in super quick. Very nice people. Love my new ink and can’t wait to get more!! Thank you!

Went here for a naval piercing 10/10 recommend. Super clean and super kind.

Made me feel comfortable for my first tattoo.

I got four piercings done. The owner was very professional, kind, and patient. I felt very comfortable here. He gave me very helpful tips and tricks for earring care. I would highly recommend coming here!

He was definitely a super nice guy. He talked to me as if I was an adult and treated me like an adult, which made me very happy. He calmed me down before I got my septum done and talked me through it. He gave me a few minutes to calm down when I got worked up. But in the end he works quickly and efficiently. I will definitely be going back!

Love my tattoo. The guy who owns the shop tattooed me. He was very professional on time and was fast. No complaints going back to get my other kids name. Thank you again

I was nervous to get my nose pierced but they made me feel very comfortable! Highly recommend them!

THE TATTOO/PIERCING MAN WAS AMAZING! He did such an amazing job with everything he was quick and clean, prices were great and he was extremely friendly and conversational! Super nice and helpful!

I love my new tattoo. David did an excellent job. He was very friendly and welcoming. I showed him what I wanted and he drew it up and put his spin on it. He’s also very clean, he stops and sanitizes his whole work station between clients. I’ll definitely be back for more tattoos.

Really clean and professional. Willing to work with you on what is both logical and looks great. Straight line work is on point. Very pleased.

Very professional. He did a great job with my tattoo and he works quickly

House of Pain is a very clean and sanitary environment. He did a great job touching up my tattoo. It looks 10 times better than it was before. He was very knowledge about cleaning and taking care of the tattoo. I would definitely recommend all my friends to this place! Thanks again Seals!

I could probably write a paragraph but I have many tattoos done by several different artists and this is hands down the best tatt and whole experience as in quality, professionalism, personality, just everything I have ever had...I will not go elsewhere from now on...I guess I can say now I have my tattoo artist...no more one to another...I also got my nose pierced and had been wanting to a long time and was scared...just as promised...it did not hurt at all...amazing experience...10 out of 5 stars!!!

Called ahead, met and talked about what i wanted and how it would work, came out with a new recommendation for tattoo shops. Thanks for the artwork! Ill be back for my other 2 sessions as soon as i can!Update finished the tattoo qnd couldnt be happier. Gained a customer!

Amazing job he did two tattoos one for my wife and one for myself and the work was excellent

Just got my first tattoo here. Im glad to say that it was a great experience. Dave is an amazing artist and I am happy to say that I will most definitely be coming back sometime!

Amazing!... Got a couples tattoo, he did an awsome job. Super friendly, even has a pool table if u gotta wait. Very good pricing, goes above and beyond. Super clean establishment. Called Sat 10/3 got our tattos on 10/3. Need a tattoo? Go there. Deffently will be coming back.

We randomly came across this tattoo shop in Rockford while in town for a concert. The owner was able to fit us in the same day. We had a great experience. The atmosphere was inviting, relaxed, and Dave was very professional. I have brought friends and family back there for additional tattoos. I would highly recommend House of Pain Tattoo!!!

I will defiantly be going back here for all my body modifications from now on ! The over all experience was amazing !! Love the vibes love mine and my best friends piercings ❤ Affordable,friendly and clean ! 💯

Professional, clean and excellent quality. Relaxing atmosphere and he is efficient while paying attention to detail and customizes each tattoo piece precisely how you want it.

Highly recommend. I walked in at the end of the night, the guy working, I do not remember his name, but he was very friendly and had no issue doing my piercing at the last minute. He explained everything before doing it. All the tools were new and sterilized. I could tell he was very experienced, he was quick and had no issues at all. I did an orbital piercing and Im very pleased with the service.

It was a great experience definitely going back soon

Very professional & clean! Really really nice guy & did a great job on my friend & I’s piercings. Definitely recommend going here!!

Went to get my nose pierced and to check out the place, because I am considering taking my daughter in to have her ears pierced. I came all the way from whitewater WI because in WI no one will pierce under the age of 16.even the ears. My daughter is 5. So I decided to go check it out and get a piercing myself. He did a great job. In a few weeks I will be bringing my daughter in to have her ears done. Seals is great!

Let me just say, this is by far one of the best tattoo shops that I’ve been too. My husband and I were able to walk in with our infant daughter, which we got a custome tattoo for. We were treated fantastically— including our daughter. Seals, who is the owner, has given my husband and I one of THE BEST tattoos we ever could’ve asked for. We will definitely be coming back and getting more from him. And I would most definitely recommend him to anyone in the Rockford/IL/WI state line area.

Woke up one day and decided to get a tattoo Ive wanted for awhile now. Emailed the shop with what I wanted and was told I could come in right away. Walked in and the artist had it all designed and it was great! Super cool shop, clean, great atmosphere. Love my tattoo! Will defiantly go back!

My husband and I went here for our first anniversary to get tattoos. It was an awesome experience. Bear tattooed both of us. His work is incredible! He went above and beyond to make sure that both of our pieces were beautiful. His personality made us feel more than comfortable. We have definitely found a permanent tattoo artist. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. You wont be disappointed.

Walk-in, no appointment and was able to be seen immediately. Great prices. Seals is very knowledgeable and did an awesome job with daith piercing, making it pain free! Highly recommend Seals and plan to return for my other ear to get the same piercing and possibly future tattoo(s).

Great place for ink and piercings. 2 thumbs way up.

This was my fourth tattoo and a great experience. My brother, sister and I all went in to get tattoos on a Tuesday night and they were able to get us in at once. The artists were friendly and fun and the prices were more than fair. I strongly recommend this place!

LOVE THIS PLACE! LOVE THIS MAN

Just got my first tattoo there and I love it! Very clean inside I could smell how clean it was, and very nice and social people. I felt very comfortable and would recommend to everyone! Had mine done by Seals and he was awesome!

Everyone is very friendly and flexible to meet your needs. Beth is very trendy and personable. I was her first tattoo in her new journey with House of Pain. Dont let her pretty Girl appearance fool you, she is very professional and knowledgeable of her trade and delivered a kick ass tattoo! Show her some support at her new location and make her feel at home! 💚

Just got done getting tattooed here! It was awesome! Great atmosphere, great people, great work. We drove down from Madison, Wisconsin to come here because the reviews were so great so Im adding my own!

Definitely recommend 💯

Amazing! The place is great what more can I say my boyfriend and I got our tattoos done last night and they came out exactly how we wanted them too. Being my first tattoo I would definitely say come here you wont be disappointed. You get exactly what you want and I couldnt ask for more . Thank you guys Ill be back for more.

Seals did an excellent job on my custom leg piece. Very satisfied with my first session and look forward to finishing this one with him. Great experience and Ive found my new tattoo artist for sure!

Seals kicks ass. Took an appointment for my friend and I 2 hours in advance, sent him a picture with a couple thoughts, showed up to a completed rendering that was spot on and was thoroughly impressed. Excellent customer service, experience, personality and a limo to boot. Thanks man!

Seals was awesome! He did an amazing job on my brothers memorial tattoo I cant stop staring at it!!! Thank you so much! I definitely recommend come to these guys for sure! Clean sterile environment everythings out of package.. love it!

Great place to get a tattoo. My wife and I just got tattoos by the owner. He was very respectful and keeps a clean shop. The quality of our tattoos are impressive and I will be returning whenever I feel the need for another tattoo.

Super friendly atmosphere, got some piercings and he made me feel at ease....

Drove from Madison to get a dermal on my face re-pierced. Seals is great at what he does. He explained everything extremely well and I felt 100% comfortable and left with a big smile on my face as well as a beautiful piercing. Will definitely be making a trip again and highly recommend this shop to everyone I know!!

I love this place! Wanted to get my nose pierced for awhile now but too scared it would hurt! Guyyyysss...it was a small pinch 0-10 about a 3. Love how the owner answered all my questions. Best place in town so far. Definitely going back for the next piercing❤️❤️

I had a great experience. The artist was polite and had a great attitude. Not to mention he does high quality tattoos. Thanks for the great tats and great service.

Took my little sister to get her ears pierced and I believe the owner Seals pierced her ears. He was helpful and did a great job making sure we had a good experience. He called me back and waited for us to come in so he would be ready for us.

Very nice place. The owner is wonderful and has great customer service. Went here to get a piercing and sat with my sister-in-law for her tattoo! I will come again!

Great place! Seals did such a great job on my tattoo that I asked him to fix some of my older tattoos and Im so happy with the way they all turned out! Highly recommended!

Went to house of pain to get my tat, and loved the finish product. Seals also helped modify my idea to make it unique. Every affordable and has a very clean atmosphere. Will continue to go her from now on.

My tattoo is a tribute to my late father. I called around and it was a last minute need and I was turned down by other tattoo places and they turned me down. Seals was so nice and wonderful and did an amazing job. When Im ready for the hands part of the tat I will be going back.

I have gone to house of pain over the past 10 years for amazing tattoos and art! Seals is a great artist with a great shop and always keeps it super clean neat and professional. Definitely call House of Pain for your next tattoo or body art.

I came to Seals by way of a personal reference, I had a vague idea of what I wanted. I explained my ideas to him and his team... within a half an hour, Beth had free handed the exact portrait of what I tried to explain... Seals then replicated that drawing perfectly and even added some things to make it better... I couldnt be more happy with the results and have had more complintents on this tattoo than any of the others I have... the entire staff was attentive, friendly and accommodating. Best experience at a tattoo shop Ive ever had!!!

I just recently went to the house of pain and seals did a wonderful job on my tattoo! I highly recommend going there! the shop is nice and the people there are amazing and the work they do is phenomenal! Ill be going back for more :)

Love my tattoo great work fast friendly clean environment will be back soon

Super clean and nice. Very helpful. Thank you so much for memorial tattoo for my brother, and fixing one I for fromodds and ends. Very appreciated.

Got my first tattoo done with Seals. Awesome vibe, very clean, and his work is very precise. I would highly recommend this shop!

I got my first tattoo here. He did an amazing job, love his work. I would definitely come back for another tattoo for sure.

Seals did a fantastic job on my club piece. I have found my new tattoo home. Great people very customer oriented shop. Thanks man it is awesome!!!!!!

Im not sure if its because I got an inexperienced guy but my tattoo didnt turn out the way I wanted. I should know better than to go anywhere but my regular shop but they had a groupon offer so I thought it would be okay. The guys are really nice and the shop is super clean but my tat looks like a black blob on my arm which is exactly what I didnt want to happen. The letters are terribly done and the ink (forearm) looks like its years old already. The owner tried to fix the issue but was a total jerk to me over the phone. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone.

They were very friendly and fun to be around I enjoyed my experience, was there for three hours which flew by. Great work, great atmosphere, great people, I would definitely recommend and come back again!!

Great work! Great price . Thanks again 🙏

I got my nose pierced and Seals did a great job! Made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I love it!
