This image was taken in the alleyway south of Brown Brothers Tattoo Shop, which is near the intersection of N California Ave and W Iowa St.
When you get to the tattoo shop, head south and then enter into the alley that's between the shop and Happy Gallery Chicago. Driving or taking a ride share is the best option here, but you can also take public transportation.
By bus:
