• Welcome to Explosive Ink Tattoo

    At Explosive Ink Tattoo we have been proudly serving the IL/WI Stateline in Hebron, IL since 2007. We are committed to producing high quality tattoos that are safe and affordable every time. Providing a unique one-on-one experience for our customers.

    We prefer to meet in person to start your process of getting a tattoo. Seeing someone in person and discussing the design, location, size, and style are imperative in custom and cover-up tattoos.

    Tattoo designs can be estimated before the appointment during a free consultation. All pricing is based on the time it takes to complete the tattoo.

    $50 CASH DEPOSIT for Custom and Cover-up Tattoos. The deposit will be deducted off your total. If for any reason you do not get the tattoo or are a No Show, we retain the deposit.

    PROOF OF DESIGN PROVIDED AT THE TIME OF YOUR APPOINTMENT.

    Our Team
