bestiary is an appointment-only tattoo studio in Avondale, Chicago owned by Christina Daniel (pronouns: they/them/she/her.) Silas and Nick from Good Boy Ink will be joining Bestiary as resident artists in June 2026.

Opened Fall of ‘24, bestiary tattoo provides a small but well lit gallery space for solo and group art shows aside from being a functional shop. If you have any inquiries - or are a tattooer or visual artist with an idea for an art show, please email daggerfingers at gmail.com.

You can sign up here to receive a semi-regular email newsletter from Christina including shop updates and new designs, straight to your inbox. You can also find bestiary tattoo on Bluesky. Thanks for your interest & support!
