Take 10 minutes to meander through the thoroughfares of Champaign’s commercial district, and you will find yourself standing in front of a wide-windowed tattoo parlor. Sparse in storefront decoration, the words “NO REGRETS” are emblazoned in stark white capital letters atop the window.
The store has won a Best of CU title several times in the last few years, emerging triumphant again this past year. Owner Matt Stines credits the success to the store’s consistent quality, loyal customers and the prime location among Champaign’s bars
and restaurants.
Customers can negotiate tattoo prices freely with the store’s team of skilled tattoo artists when they get to the door, flexibly catering prices and tattoo complexity to tattoo newbies and ink junkie. Four unique artists with individual styles and experience man the Champaign storefront; Stines himself began tattooing when he was 16.
No Regrets Tattoos & Body Piercing is just under 20 years old. Its convenient location and cadre of capable tattoo artists have cemented the store as a Champaign-Urbana staple for all community members.
