“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.“

“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“

“I just got tattoo done by Jackie, and I honestly couldn't be happier! His attention to detail and talent are incredible. He takes his time, listens to exactly what you want, and makes sure every little detail is perfect. The shop is clean, the atmosphere is comfortable, and you can tell he truly cares about his clients and his work. I absolutely love how my tattoo came out and will definitely be coming back for more. If you're looking for an amazing tattoo artist, I highly recommend Jackie!“

“To my good friend Chaiko

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the incredible artistry and professionalism you put into my tattoo. From the first consultation to the final session, you made the experience feel not only comfortable but deeply meaningful.

What impressed me most was your ability to listen and translate my vision into something far greater than I had imagined. The level of detail, precision, and flow in the design speaks volumes about your dedication to the craft. It’s clear that every line, shade, and contour was done with both technical mastery and creative intention.

Beyond the art itself, I truly appreciated the atmosphere you created—calm, welcoming, and respectful. You walked me through each step, ensuring I felt confident and cared for throughout the process. That balance of skill and empathy is rare, and it’s what sets your work apart.

This tattoo is more than body art to me—it’s a lasting piece of personal expression that I’ll carry proudly for the rest of my life. I’m grateful not just for the outcome, but for the journey you guided me through.

To anyone considering a tattoo, I wholeheartedly recommend you to visitthis magical yet beautiful place. Chaiko, your work is living proof that tattoos are not only about ink on skin, but about storytelling, craftsmanship, and trust in the artist.

Thank you for giving me a piece of art that feels both timeless and personal.

With appreciation,
A.B“

“Got my first thermage with Alice and love the results! Clean place and nice professional service“

“Great experience! Winter was patient, professional and friendly. Definitely going back for a tattoo.“

“B took a design concept for a vine + Sanskrit addition to my owl tattoo and ran with it. Tons of attention to detail (even in making sure my body was comfortably positioned while setting up), friendly & professional, kindly tolerated every “can we move this up slightly, no wait it looked better where it was before…” bit of my obnoxious until the design was exactly what I wanted. And the price was super reasonable - surprisingly so for NYC. Will definitely be back!“

“Carlos is the man best tattoo artist I’ve been too hands down super friendly super respectful and charismatic. I will definitely be coming back!“

“My experience with Gift was truly a gift (pun intended)! Got new brows and my confidence is back after having a baby which was so needed. She’s truly exceptional at her craft and is such a sweet person. I will definitely be a customer for life and refer her to all my friends! Thank you, Gift! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I did eyeliner tattoo here with Esther and so easy and great service with touch up as well! Highly recommend Esther to do your eyeliner here“

“I recently got a tattoo at this parlor in Astoria. A wonderful artist named Caroline did an excellent job. She had a light touch and she went over every detail of what I wanted. The service was kind, clean, personal - exactly what you want in a good tattoo shop! Everyone else was lovely to chat with as well and it made for a great experience. I will definitely be returning to Queens Ink!“

“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 had such an amazing experience here for my very first tattoo. I walked in feeling really nervous, but from the moment I arrived, the entire atmosphere made me feel so comfortable and welcomed.

Emilio was incredible. He took his time to walk me through every step, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt confident in my decision before we even started. His hands were so light that the process was honestly almost painless, which I never expected for my first tattoo.

I’m so grateful that they accepted me as a nervous first-time walk-in and turned what could have been an intimidating experience into something really special and meaningful.

The pricing was also very reasonable (minimum is $100), and truly worth it for the level of care, precision, and dedication Emilio put into his work.

Thank you so much to Emilio and the entire team for such a positive first experience. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Couldn’t be happier with my experience with Morg. This was a full leg tattoo, and she absolutely killed it. I came in with ideas and inspiration, but she really brought her own vision and artistry into it too, which made the whole piece feel unique and personal.

The process felt super collaborative from start to finish. She listened, guided me when needed, and elevated the design in the best way possible. Beyond being insanely talented, she also made the entire experience comfortable and easy. Really grateful I trusted her with something this big.“

“Excellent experience, super results, only wish I went sooner 100% satisfied;-)...follow up was also excellent.....100% satisfied;-)“

“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!“

“Just went here Carlos Ansias was my artist and he did an Excellent job !!! I got a sternum lotus tattoo and an Arabic tattoo & a touch up of an old tattoo and he did extremely well !!“

“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 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!“
