Jennifer and Chris are professional, highly skilled business owners. Jennifer took time to help me understand what she was going to do with my piercing and provided me with information I needed to contact her if there were any issues. This is the place to go for any piercings!

I really honestly lucked out seeing Aaron for my first tattoo so many years ago, and at this point I've come to Aaron for three tattoos now and I truly don't want to see anyone else. Aaron's attention to detail is phenomenal, both in the designs he produces and the placement of the tattoo. You really get the sense that he cares about you as a person and your satisfaction with your tattoo. He's a true professional and isn't satisfied until you are. The tattoos I've gotten with him have stayed clean and strong throughout the years I've seen him, and if they ever get a little faded all I've ever had to do is a little exfoliating routine to make them brand new. Aaron has never disappointed. He's kind, personable, and extremely talented. He has strong, clean lines that stay consistent, and he's a master at shading. I'm so happy I got my first tattoo with him and I'm so happy to be three tattoos in with him. when I brought my girlfriend to him, we didn't have much in the way of the design planned. All we asked for was a simple silhouette of her and her brother. Our expectations were low because we didn't know what to expect of our vague request. He comes back out 20 minutes later, and he blows us away. He created a beautiful silhouette better than I could have ever imagined. I am so lucky to have met Aaron, and I hope to see you again soon, my friend!

Jen is by far the queen of piercings. Her and her husband run an immaculate shop. Her and her staff are very knowledgeable and will not just take your money but do what's best for you as a client. She always goes above and beyond to give customers the best treatment. You can call her anytime with any questions or concerns and she's more than happy to assist or help you in any way. I would never go to another shop.

Love coming here! I have been going to Jen (piercer) and Chris (tattoo artist) for years! They are both awesome. I don’t trust anyone else with my body but them, or anyone else in their shop. They hire very quality artists to produce excellent work. Very professional and knowledgeable on their services! Friendly and fun.So happy for them opening their own business in the height of the pandemic. Great people to support so go in if you want to get an amazing tattoo or piercing done right the first time!Posted pics of some of my new tattoos by Chris.

My first time at Evolution Body Arts. An adorable tattoo and piercing shop nestled along Waukegan Road in Lake Bluff. Super clean, decorated nicely, and a wide assortment of beautiful body jewelry. The staff and artists were very friendly making the process seamless. I worked with Jennifer to swap out a previously done flat piercing by Velvet Elvis in Portland, OR. She was welcoming, kind, and very thorough. Can’t wait to go back and get a piercing and tattoo at this shop!! Thanks Jennifer you are the best ❤️

This is maybe my 3rd review I have ever written. I received a 2 and a half hour tattoo that seemed like a 45 minute session. I have used Chris Wagman three times, this was my second time at his amazing location in Lake Bluff. First off, it's a self standing building , very organized, very clean and well managed.. The vibe is nice and positive once you enter the front door. The staff was professional, respectful, smiled and answered all my questions. Chris was kind enough to meet with me approx 2 weeks prior to my appointment to go over my design and add his "two cents" which I appreciated. Chris was very calm and patient when it came to my concerns etc.. I appreciated a phone call a day before my appointment to remind me of my date and time.. I was sitting in the chair at 3:03pm for my 3pm appointment. Again, Chris was very calm and did not rush me or his services.. His station was clean and organized. The tattoo hurt less than the two prior and between that and his conversation the whole process seemed to fly by. Although I definitely recommend Chris, it appeared he had a team of professional artists who are quite capable of creating a similar experience. The shop also offers piercings which I don't know a lot about but his partner Jennifer seems to know a lot and is targeting a higher end of jewelry which is a niche which is well needed.. I will attach a picture of his work.. Thanks Chris and Gang for an Awesome experience ..Service: Tattoo design

Jennifer was nothing short of amazing. I had gotten my upper-midi cartilage pierced here in May 2021, but was forced to take it out over a year later for an MRI. I took it out per doctor's instructions, but wasn't able to get it back in without irritation. A year later when I came back to the shop, not only did Jennifer not charge me for the re-piercing, but she did pierced it so swiftly that my ear did not bleed, despite being closed for over a year. I am so grateful for her kindness and truly amazed by her professional skill. I commend this shop for their outstanding customer service.Service: Ear piercing

I love this place so much. The environment is great, the staff is amazing, and the service is outstanding. They all make you feel comfortable and all so friendly. They offer you drinks as you wait. I got my septum piercing here and Jen did it so quick and as little pain as possible. Chris tattoos like a true BOSS. He makes you feel so comfortable and periodically asks how you’re doing during the tattoo session and if you want a break. Definitely recommend this great business.Services: Ear piercing

I'm new to the area. Before I moved I had the same piercer for almost 20 years and finding someone that was knowledgeable, trustworthy but most of all fun was a little daunting. I did my research and based on the reviews Evolution stood out. Jennifer is very thorough, kind and qualified. The entire staff was welcoming and the shops esthetic was bright with a bite. I cannot recommend them enough!Service: Ear piercing

Chavez did an absolute amazing job! I have tattoos from all over the world and I have to say that I am quite shocked at how talented these artists at evolution are! The art work is amazing and if you’re in Waukegan area or Chicago, hands down I’d 100% recommend Evolution for your next tattoo. 10/10 Recommend for sure! The artists are so welcoming and nice, they offer free drinks, amazing people and great to be around! When you walk in you’re immediately treated like family.

I loved my experience with them! Jennifer did my septum piercing back in October and she was very informative. Last night my piercing fell off since I lost the little ball screw and she got me in as soon as possible to place it back in. I definitely recommend her and her amazing work!Services: Piercings

I went in for a 2nd ear piercing and had a great experience. I had a scheduled appointment and got right in. The place is clean, has a great jewelry selection, and a friendly team. Jennifer is very knowledgable and did a great job with the piercing. She walks you through everything to expect and how to properly take care of your piercings, with a follow up visit included. Highly recommend.Service: Ear piercing
