Body Art in Chicago — FAQ
How do I find an LGBTQ+ friendly tattoo or piercing artist in Chicago?
Browse the listings on this page. Every tattoo or piercing artist shows what they do, where they work, and how to reach them, so you can contact them directly — Out x Out does not sit in the middle or charge a referral fee.
Are these providers LGBTQ+ owned?
Some are, some are allies. We do not describe a provider as LGBTQ+ owned unless that is sourced and verifiable — the same rule we apply to venues, where LGBTQ+ venues and gay friendly ones are labelled separately rather than blurred together.
What does it cost to use this directory?
Nothing. Browsing and contacting providers is free. Providers pay for their listing; you never pay Out x Out to reach one.
