Best Tattoo Shops In Albany

“Update July 2025: also got pierced here by Chloe. Excellent service and very clean. She explained every single step as she did it. They also sell the saline wash for after care which is very convenient.

Got a flash tattoo for Halloween from Chris, I love it. Super clean and professional“

“Modern Body Art has went above and beyond what I expected. First off My Tattoo artist Jeff is AWESOME, Down to earth, professional and great at his job. After waiting 20 years to get more Tat's I could not have found a more relaxing and friendlier environment. I did my research and tried a few places but the vibe was not there with the space or the different artist i came across. Jeff not only provided a great service but his recommendations were spot on and more in alignment with what I wanted to achieve. I also met some other Modern Body Art artist while getting work done, in particular Gabe and a few others. Their energy all seemed to match, which made the space and experience much more gratifying. I would recommend Jeff and the modern Body Art family to anyone, go feel it out for your self. You will know and understand what I mean!“

“I got my belly button pierced by Gene and it was probably one of the best piercing experiences I had. He makes you feel so comfortable and less nervous. I never considered getting more then a few piercings but after going there I might just have to get another piercing“

“I haven’t been here YET… I saw one of Ian’s clients and her art work was amazing.. ? I’m super excited to talk with Ian to do my next piece. (Mermaid)“

“Called for a walk in piercing and I was welcomed just before closing time. Got my eyebrow pierced and David was gentle and sterile through out the whole process. He was friendly and informative, explained how to care for my piercing on my own. Would recommend.“

“Mim was absolutely incredible to work with, in addition to her skill and talent she was very friendly and made everyone feel at ease. She did my bridal henna, my husband's henna, and my bridal party's henna at a super fun henna party two nights before the wedding. She was very straight forward with her pricing and timing, she communicated well to make sure we got the designs we wanted, and she also freestyled well on those who trusted her artistry. She also did SEVERAL hands of family and friends at the Sangeet with equal skill and speed. She was so busy she made a list and didn't want to leave her work table, even when we told her to grab some food for herself. I promise you will love Mim and her work!“

“Very professional and clean piercing studio. Gene couldn't have been any nicer and informative. I wish I lived closer! Thank you for the great experience. I 100 percent recommend this shop.“

“The Dead Presidents Lounge is awesome. They are so well organized, and the vibe at the shop is awesome. Whitney is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. I love how particular she is, and she pays attention to every detail! Her line work is out of this world. I already have two tattoos from her and am looking forward to many more!“

“First time at this tattoo shop and loved the energy & atmosphere here? I love my tattoo that Bishop sat and help created for me with a vision of what I presented to him. When I stopped in to see if I could get it done, he was able to squeeze me in the same day??? Although I am in the healing stage, I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome! I would definitely return to this tattoo shop in the near future without doubt!!!“

“Aron miller was amazing! Super friendly. Great style and amazing communication! Will definitely go back! Atmosphere was great, clean, very chill.“

“Very nice staff and welcoming environment. Was my first tattoo and couldn’t have picked a better place than Lark Street Tattoo. Will definitely go back in the future.“
