The Tattoo Factory - Chicago - Tattoos, Body Piercing

Artist: Hank Bangcock

Piercing is Hank's life. He has been in the industry since 1991 and swears he could not have found a better place for his skills. In that time he has had the opportunity to pierce people from all over the world, from all walks of life and considers it a unique privilege to serve his clientele. Unlike some in the business, he does not find pleasure in causing pain to his clientele. In fact he does everything feasible to make the piercing experience as comfortable and painless as possible. This is accomplished by a great bedside manner and years of experience that insures fast and accurate results. Hank has the advantage of being brought up in the “Old School” of piercing and having an excellent group of colleagues around him to guarantee that he is kept up to date on modern techniques.

Hank feels that he is participating in an ancient trade. If we were living a thousand years ago, he would have been a priest in a temple performing sacred initiations. He is aware that everyone comes to the experience with their own expectations and is gifted at making even the most terrified client confident. He feels a connection to those who have practiced this art throughout the ages and hopes to live up to the high standards of his community and colleagues.

His training began at Body Basics under the tutelage of Master Body Piercer “Mad” Jack Kaplan. Under his watchful eye, Hank first learned the trade of jewelry production and after the first year was accepted into Jack’s three-year apprenticeship program. He was expected to stay in service to the shop for the three years. In 1995 hank opened practice at Chicago Tattoo. Swank Body Modifications flourished there until he concluded his tenure in 2004. Hank accepted a position at the Uptown classic, The Tattoo Factory. In December of 2005 we moved into our newly remodeled shop. Not only is it the most beautiful shop you have ever been in, but also it is state of the art. After 30 years in the business we knew exactly how to design a studio built for your comfort and modesty. The piercing quarters can be totally sealed when required or open so twenty of your best friends can be there with you. He is looking forward to serving the clients he has met though out his career showing off his new home.

If you would like to be pierced by Hank, he would be honored. He finds appointments are cumbersome, so he works on a strict walk in basis. He is capable of performing any piercing that you may be interested in receiving. If you have questions, give him a call, you will find nothing but straight talk and answers.
