Heres a little back story on The Anti Cruelty Society:
The Anti-Cruelty Society is committed to caring.

We shall:

* Provide compassionate care for any animal in need
* Attempt to find a home for every healthy or rehabilitatable dog and cat that comes to us
* Intervene to prevent cruelty to animals
* Partner with the community to educate on animal issues and inspire compassion and respect
* Provide low or no cost spaying or neutering

Values

We will provide the best quality animal care through:

* Collaboration - only through partnerships and relationships can we achieve our mission
* Excellence - we will strive to have a best practice model in all that we do
* Professionalism - we will act with integrity and in an ethical manner
* Leadership - we will plan for the next generation of issues that will impact our organization, our community and pets
* Communication - we will fearlessly outline and communicate our commitment to being advocates for animals
* Transparency - we support the Asilomar Accords and proudly and publicly report our statistics

Philosophy

At The Anti-Cruelty Society we believe:

* In an open door policy - we will not turn away any animal in need
* There are no time limits placed on any animal in our care
* That no healthy or rehabilitatable pet should be euthanized
* The key to pet overpopulation is sterilization
* That education can prevent cruelty, abuse and neglect and promote responsible pet ownership
* If an animal's quality of life is severely compromised, euthanasia is the humane alternative

Since 1899...

Since 1899, The Anti-Cruelty Society has been committed to serving the needs of companion animals and the humans who care for-and about-them.
Our Second Century

Since 1999, the beginning of our second century of caring, we have found loving permanent homes for more than 40,000 pets, spayed or neutered more than 61,000 animals and taught messages of compassion and caring for the animals to more than 225,000 school-aged children and community groups.
Services & Resources
In addition to receiving and caring for thousands of animals each year, we provide a wide variety of services and resources. These include an adoption program, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, a rehabilitation & treatment center, a low-income clinic, humane education/community outreach, cruelty and abuse investigations and rescue, dog training classes, a free behavior hotline, and pet visitations.

CASA
The Anti-Cruelty Society is a founding member of the Chicago Animal Shelter Alliance (CASA). CASA was formed in 2002 by a coalition of Chicago shelters who realized that by working together, we could consolidate our efforts to reach a wider audience, and make a greater impact. Since that time, the organization has grown to include the entire shelter community in Chicago, and much of the veterinary community as well.

About Insight Studios

Lobby

Insight Studios began to manifest conceptually in June of 2005. The vision was to build a creative facility that was home to talented artists . Housed in glass block and polished diamond plate, the overall feel of Insight Studios is clean, professional, creative and comfortable. Your safety and comfort are top priorities at Insight Studios and we do our best to make each and every tattoo/ piercing experience a special one.

The design of this shop is unique to the Chicagoland area and tattoo community. The waiting area houses a 24ft aluminum bench that sits under custom paintings made by the artists at Insight. The glass block dividing walls separate the work stations. Each tattoo and piercing station at Insight Studios offers 100% privacy, if needed. The entire piercing room is made up of glass block and a frosted glass door for privacy and ease of cleaning. All work surfaces are made of stainless steel which makes them easy to wipe down and disinfect.

Every artist at Insight attends an annual bloodborne pathogens and principles of infection control training course, which meets the requirements of OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030.

Piercing Station

Insight Studios is one of the only tattoo/ piercing studios that offers weekly autoclave spore-testing in Chicago. The results are kept on-site to ensure that our equipment is sterilized using the highest standards in the tattoo/piercing industry.

Insight Studios is the only studio recognized by The Association of Professional Piercers in Chicago. By adhering to the highest industry standards, you will receive a professional piercing by a professional piercer. Only the highest quality of jewelry the industry has to offer is used. Please feel free to check out the standards that are put in place by The Association of Professional Piercers. at their website at : www.safepiercing.org

At Insight Studios our specialty is custom tattooing. The selection of "flash" (pre-drawn artwork) is extremely limited but available to build ideas upon. With the skill and talent of the artists working at Insight Studios, there is never a reason to "pick a design off the wall." A tattoo is something personal that deserves personal attention in creating the tattoo. We focus on making each and every tattoo as unique as the person getting it. The only way you will ever have the same tattoo done at Insight Studios as someone else is if it was planned that way. You never have to worry about seeing someone with your tattoo if you get it custom designed for you by an artist.

Tattoo Stations

Please feel free to come by, ask questions, and get a feel for the shop. In addition to the work on this site, we also have portfolios and artwork hanging on the walls. We want our customers to feel comfortable about getting a professional tattoo or piercing from us.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for considering us for your tattoo and/or body piercing.
