Over the course of the past year, we've tattooed hundreds of clients, celebrated our 10th birthday, welcomed incredible new resident artists, hosted guest artists from several countries around the world, trekked out to three tattoo conventions, and made memories with each other that will last a lifetime. Thank you for making this an unforgettable year in LST's history!
Read along as we recap our artists' favorite moments of 2024.

As of late I’ve been finding a lot of joy in reminiscing on the accomplishments over the past year. Hard to pinpoint a favorite moment or project from them all. That being said it’s always a blast for me to see my art and tattoo work be so well received. 2024 has brought me immense gratitude towards the incredible clients (new and returning) that I get to work for and collaborate with.
PAIGE Assistant Manager
Although not a tattooer myself, I've always considered myself creative and have found a sense of belonging while working alongside the residents at Logan Square Tattoo. I'm inspired deeply by each artist's style & work which is why my best-of's are silly moments I got to spend with our awesome team.
AGUSTIN @amadrid_tattoos
This year, my highlights are: The client who came as a walk-in tattoo and then became into my first sleeve project in Chicago. Also, the environment at the 10th Anniversary Event. I also did my first back piece ever. And obviously the coconut water from LaCroix in the fridge at the shop.
CORI @cori.tattoosÂ
I went to conventions for the first time this year and it rocked! You get a lot of energy being around so many artists, and meeting clients who are just like you is such a treat.
MATIAS @mat.tattss
My favorite moment was our Halloween party. We carved or tattooed pumpkins together in the studio after hours!
HANNAH Studio Manager
I love seeing what our amazing clients get tattooed, and listening to the stories and meaning behind their new ink. And I’m constantly in awe of our artists’ talent—it’s a unique honor to bond with such a kind, mellow, and caring team!
DIMA @asphalt_ttt
My favorite moment related to work this year is undoubtedly the radical change of moving to a new country, from Europe to Chicago. I was lucky to almost immediately find a wonderful studio and the best team.
GIFFORD @futureteller
My favorite moments about this year were working alongside a great crew and watching everyone start to gel together and push their styles and tattoos. Also the variety of pieces I had the honor of working on.
ELLA @ella.tatt
My 2024 highlight was LST's 10th Anniversary party! I love the energy of all the artists working and sharing stories when we had a break from tattooing. Also the amazing clients that I got to meet that day!
