Art & Sol Book in
Where it started

Kankakee tattoo studio

Art and Sol started here as a private, appointment-only studio, and 217 S West Ave, Unit B, near downtown, is still home base for most of the crew. Appointments all week, walk-ins on Wednesdays.

This is the original spot. Tommy Solace and Joey Malia both book here, alongside Sarah Jane Zow, Karo Trzzy, Brittany Vance and Gabi.

Every Wednesday from 11 AM to 7 PM the door opens for walk-ins: first come, first served, $100 minimum. Easiest way to get flash or a small piece without booking ahead.

You'll find it on South West Avenue near downtown Kankakee, a short drive from Bourbonnais, Bradley, Aroma Park and Manteno.

Kankakee questions

Is Kankakee staying open?

Yes. Crown Point is a second studio, not a move. Kankakee keeps Walk-in Wednesdays and appointments with the Kankakee artists.

Can I just stop in?

On Wednesdays, yes: 11 AM to 7 PM, first come, first served. Other days are appointment only.

Got an idea that won't leave you alone?

Pick your artist and send it over. Questions first? Email artsolstudios@gmail.com or DM @artandsolstudio.
