    Some people wear their hearts on their sleeves; others will tattoo it on there for you. Vision World happens to do both. Upon entering the cozy, unassuming storefront, you are inundated with the artwork of Ray Hughes, the head tattoo artist. “I like to think of a tattoo artist as a good guide that listens and takes everything into account,” Hughes said. Whether you want some creative input on your piece of body art or you want to go it alone, Vision World is more than accommodating. Hughes said, “We like to think of ourselves as down-to-earth, great and friendly people in a comfortable atmosphere.” They even raise money for various charities around CU, a constant reminder that the counterculture of body art isn’t as mysterious and taboo as many may think. Hughes’ artwork is outstanding, and the general feel inside Vision World is bright and welcoming.

    So next time you’re thinking of a tattoo, hike out to the corner of Cunningham and University in Urbana, and let Hughes hear your ideas. “We love to listen,” he said.

    This guy SUX!! check out his webpage and look at his portfolio... he sends out a mass mailing and insists that ALL patroins vote for him every year... He fixes the votes, whch proves what a schmuck he is.

    Check out the honorable mention tattoo shops instead... or look of reviews on yahoo.
