Studio One Chicago

Nuco Villanueva's private tattoo studio is now located at Studio One Chicago. The shop was founded in 2009 as a street shop in Pilsen. Our shop usually welcomes walk-ins, but we are only accepting appointments due to Covid-19. We have limited space in the shop. Nuco will require a consultation to provide you with a price quote and book an appointment. You may select something from his collection or commission an original piece. For larger projects, the minimum price is $200, and the hourly rate for multi-session projects is $200. View his portfolio at @n_u_c_o on Instagram and send him a DM, or send an email to

Studio One Chicago Tattoo received glowing reviews from customers. The shop is described as having a great atmosphere, with great crew and fast, friendly customer service. Most notably, their artists are skilled cultivators and listeners to their customers' ideas. Nuco and Nina are mentioned by name and highly regarded, with Nuco's versatility in utilizing a variety of designs and shading well, while Nina excels at drawing bold, clean, and quick work. Their hospitality and making customers feel easy are beneath spots which have built up customers for a long time. The standard is increased in the review by service and coming back and having more tattoos completed. A client praised Nina's willingness to work on a time crunch, with the final result showing a thoughtful, beautiful design and overall awesomeness. The studio's professionalism and desire to always come back to a new tattoo with them are confirmed by the satisfaction of customers being well-reasoned in different points of view.
