Best Tattoo Shops In Brooklyn

“I had my helix pierced by Zoey he was very respectful, and nice. I first came to his shop for an industrial but when he saw my ears he made sure to mention that my ears weren’t shaped for an industrial and gave me other piercing options. That’s very good to know when getting anything pierced, The place is very nice to look at there’s a lot of cool drawings inside the place and there was music playing I really like the vibe. The pain was not bad at all. The price was not bad it was 70$ to get a helix on both ears. The price he was going to charge me when I asked for industrial on my right was 50$ which was pretty cheap in my opinion. I’m thankful I came here I left happy and pierced!“

“KC was an absolute gem, she educated me and was very kind and gentle the entire time. She took the time to ensure I understood how to care for my piercings, even the ones that were not done by her. She is amazing!!!“

“Loved my experience with Moko!!! I got my tattoo a few weeks ago over multiple sessions and it’s been healing great. Her art is amazing and perfectly captures the style I wanted (I showed her a poem).

Would highly recommend!! I could see myself going again once I get the itch to get another!“

“I went to HoG to get a tattoo from Will Hunter, so I can only speak to that experience. Will is amazing, both as an artist and as a kind and knowledgeable guide. Other than that, I can say the front desk staff was friendly and helpful, made the whole experience as easy as possible.“

“I had an amazing experience with Baily today and I Love my new tattoo. Great conversations, made me feel really comfortable. Would highly recommend! And the shop is great, I absolutely love the decor“

“Randomly found this place while on a walk and went into get my tongue pierced. The piercer was very experienced and everyone was very nice! Overall, a great experience.“

“I collaborated with Ilkim for a specific design, he patiently worked with me until I was satisfied with the final draft. I am overjoyed with the finish work and his overall easy going manner during the appointment. I recommend Ilkim ?%. Thanks Ilkim!“

“I got toothgems done by Elizabeth and they’re so cute! She was very thorough with the placement and made sure I approved before she cured them. The process was quick and painless. The gems are so fun for summer! Would highly recommend getting yours done with Elizabeth!“

“I like to get tattoos in the places I visit, and I was missing my official NYC stamp. On my last day in town for a work trip, I decided to find a shop. As I was walking to a café, I came across Electric Lotus Tattoo. I loved the name, the storefront, and gave them a call hoping they’d take a walk-in.

Jae picked up the phone and, even though he was booked, welcomed me to stop by and check out his work. When I arrived, I told him I wanted a tiger, and it turned out he was the “tiger guy.” Felt like divine intervention. I booked for later that day, and Jae absolutely delivered.

Not only is he insanely talented (a true wizard with the needle), but his energy was open, friendly, and made the whole experience one of the coolest tattoo sessions I’ve ever had. He knocked it out in a little over an hour, from finishing his last appointment to final photos.

I’m so glad I met Jae and now get to wear his art. If you’re in Brooklyn or anywhere in NYC, go to Electric Lotus Tattoo.“

“JD is a true artist. This was my first tattoo, and I was a little nervous at first. Immediately, I felt safe and comfortable–and trusted his process. He took time to ensure everything looked perfect before he began. Including readjusting some of the design, and perfecting the geometric lines. We even went over an hour because he wanted it to be not just a tattoo, but a work of art. He took my plethora of ideas, and turned into something that I did not even know was possible. I also L-O-V-E-D the 90s dance music playing as he did his work. I am coming back asap to work on my sleeve. 10 stars!“

“I had a fantastic experience here. Alican was so patient, and worked closely with me to create the perfect design. He's an incredibly talented and skilled artist and such a kind person. The front desk staff was warm and welcoming, and the studio is gorgeous! It’s bright, clean, and feels like a mix between an art gallery and a spa. Highly recommend the artist and the studio!“

“Loved my experience here! Definitely recommend!! Great music and place was nice and clean, My artist was AMAZING and did an excellent job!! I’m not from here but I would definitely come back to get more done it was definitely worth it!“

“Ana and Eddie were fantastic! Definitely coming back for my next tattoo or piercing.“

“Carolina is an absolute artist! ✨ I came to her wanting a wild rose tattoo to commemorate my trip to NYC, and what she created was beyond anything I could have imagined. The design is so delicate, detailed, and beautiful—it feels like she truly captured the essence of what I wanted and elevated it into something timeless.

From start to finish, Carolina was warm, communicative, and professional. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and I felt completely comfortable in her hands. I’m so grateful for the care and artistry she put into my piece—it’s something I’ll treasure forever.

I couldn’t recommend her more highly, and I already know I’ll be back to visit her again in the future!“

“The artist Mario is a beast!

I love this place!
Very clean, very friendly.
Can only recommend.
Prices are great for NYC!
Walk ins always welcome.“

“This is a great shop they make sure your comfortable and know everything you need to know about after care of your piercing. The septum piercing was quick and extremely painless. I’ve had medical staff stick me harder. This was a great experience I will come back for all my body piercing for sure.“

“I worked with Elia and had such a wonderful experience. She helped me not only figure out the design but placement and was very patient with me as I made me decision. I would happily work with her again!“

“I have gotten tattooed in 4 states. This was one of THE best experiences ever. Really excited to go back and get more work done!“

“We had a great experience here. They were very honest, responsibly priced and patient.“

“I'm a long-time client of Gianna's, before and throughout the formation of Lil Baby's. She's done large custom pieces for me in and outside of her major styles and it has all been top quality and i have nothing but utmost praise for her professionalism, affordability and the safety of her space. I'm also a dark-skinned Black woman who has received pops of color in several pieces and can attest to the inclusivity of her skill set and her services.“

“I love Three Kings. Not only is everyone absolutely lovely here, but the shop is clean and has THE BEST art I've seen in a while on their fine walls. Brenn's work was exactly what I was looking for without knowing what I was looking for. Thanks for my tattoo!“

“Will absolutely be coming back! I got my first tattoo here by the incredibly talented Grace Springer (@gracespringerart). Not only did she make the experience very enjoyable, she made me feel listened to, confident and comfortable. If you’re looking to get your first tattoo with a very skilled and detailed artist look no further. I’m still in shock by how wonderful of a time a had. The tattoo itself is stunning. If you’re looking for a medieval engraving timeless tattoo she is your gal. Could not recommend Grace enough.“

“Mara was awesome! I had a bad experience with my first nose piercing elsewhere and came here looking for a professional piercer. I got my second lobe done, she made sure I was okay with the placement and made me feel super comfortable. She also took a look at my nose piercing and gave me helpful pointers and told me where to get good jewelry. Loved this place and will definitely be coming back for more piercings“

“I recently lost my dog and after looking and looking for someone that i was confident would nail the portrait of Leo on my arm, I decided it had to be Nikki. I reached out and got put on the wait list which I wasnt shocked there was one. Once i got to NY she called me the night before and we discussed options and ideas. Once @ the shop and she showed me her design, it was perfect. There is no one else I would have do a tattoo as important as this one. Also, everyone there was very kind!“

“Vibes at the new shop are immaculate & flave gonna get me right every time 2nd piece by him with more to go . Be sure to pay them a visit!“
