Tattoo Shops near Forest Hills

“a cute tattoo shop with very kind staff and talented artists !! I went in for a flash day and got this little guy from Daphne and I couldn't be happier with the result ❤️

Flash days are often times when a tattoo shop can get hectic and disorganized, but Yant Studio had it handled in a very organized and comfortable way. They had sign-up sheets for each artist, digital consent forms, polite front desk staff, and a spacious lobby with a pool table, coffee bar, and art everywhere! can't wait to come back and get more work by Daphne ??“

“Awesome tattoo from Kai! Calligraphy had excellent attention to detail and turned out great. Highly recommend checking out!“

“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.“

“Amazing tattoo service, Jackie is a professional and he did it so calmly, understood, answered all my questions, he is an absolutely amazing tattoo worker to work with :) will be coming here again“

“Amazing experience and love my end results. 3rd time having my brows done and by far the best of them all- Marisa did a lovely job!“

“xi just pierced my eyebrow to pair it with the one they did a couple of months ago and it’s perfect <3 they are genuinely the best piercer!!!“

“Great work done by Nicolas, pleased with end result

Cleanliness: Shop was vet clean“

“My first two tattoo experiences have been AMAZING here, thanks to Jimmy!!! He’s very professional, charismatic & extremely talented at his craft. That man was born for this! If I could leave a 10 star review I would !!!“

“It was a great experience getting my eye brows done for the first time. I was very apprehensive about getting eye brows done and I wanted my eye brows done by a professional who understands my needs. Esther was wonderful and patient with explaining everything to me making me comfortable throughout the process. She understands every face is unique and she knows the best shape of brows to suit the individual. In addition to her professionalism, her place is very clean. She wears a PPE gown during the procedure and she have us take off our shoes which i really appreciate since in Asian culture we do not wear shoes in the house. :) Overall, I am happy with my brows and I am returning to get my touch up!“

“I had a fantastic experience at The Tattoo Collective! The shop is incredibly clean, welcoming, and has such a calm, relaxing atmosphere. I got an anti-tragus piercing, and the entire process was seamless. Spencer, who did my piercing, was kind, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. His calming presence and attention to detail really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back for another piercing in the future!“

“Got a piece done by Igor, really beautiful work. Great conversation, really knowledgeable about tattoo work in general, super nice guy too. The shop was extremely chill.“

“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!“

“Went in to change out my septum jewelry and the piercer was so sweet and helpful! Plus the jewelry looks great and it was inexpensive! I will also add that even though I didn’t get tatted, I noticed that the tattoo stations looked very clean as well as the shop itself.“

“they were all very kind and nice, the place is really clean. they are really professional, i highly recommend it!!!“

“love this place , Peter was really nice and showed me every single detail I needed to know as this to be my first tattoo a really great experience“

“Chui Kanela did a really awesome job on my shin tattoo. She was very considerate, attentive, and made it look perfect. It’s already healing perfectly, and that has not been the case for many of my leg tattoos. A testament to her attention to detail and preciseness. 10/10, will definitely be going back to her!!“

“I love this place. I've gone so many times and they always welcome walk-ins. I've been tattooed by Hao and Rachel, but all of the artists are very talented and give great feedback and ideas. Great pricing as well. So worth it. It's a very clean and nice studio with the cutest dogs that make the process less intimidating.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I had an incredible experience with JD at his studio. The tattoo I got came out better than I imagined and was actually the least painful one I’ve got! JD was exceptionally creative and has helped me plan out a full tattoo sleeve, which was a huge relief as I wasn’t sure how to go about it. JD’s skill, attention to detail, and care made the experience totally worth it. The studio was spotless, with a clean and professional atmosphere. I highly recommend JD to anyone looking for top-quality work!“

“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 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.“

“I have been coming to this location for years and can without a doubt say this is the best shop in all of Astoria. The owner’s attention to detail, her level of care, and the quality of work she produces simply cannot be matched. As always, can’t wait for the next tattoo!“

“I’ve been meaning to get a sunflower tattoo for a while, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience at Mohan’s Tattoo Shop. The service and hospitality were truly top-tier. My artist, Adelaide, was incredibly diligent and thorough—her attention to detail really shows in the final result. The shop itself was spotless and had a professional yet welcoming vibe. One unexpected highlight? Their phenomenal playlist—it added such a cool, laid-back energy to the session. Highly recommend this place!“

“I’ve gotten 7 other piercings from other shops yet this is the only place that gave me that painless piercing experience!!! i’m coming here for all of my piercings and the piercer kiya/kyah (don’t know if i’m spelling it correctly) was so friendly along with the others, just overall ate down with my helix piercing and experience.“

“The salon feels clean and contemporary. The process was stress-free thanks to the specialist.“
