Piercing in New York

“i was able to get my very first tattoo at uplift and it was an amazing experience. i was incredibly nervous to get a tattoo alongside the fact that it is very meaningful to me, but Junh was incredibly gentle, friendly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process.

the studio was very clean and welcoming, and everyone was professional. i was surprised that even after my appointment, Uplift Tattoo made sure i had the opportunity to ask any questions i had about aftercare, which i really appreciated.

im so happy with how everything turned out and will always remember my first tattoo experience here. highly recommend!“

“I got my helix done here last summer. I remember him being professional and quick. I think it was 15-20 dollars, super worth it! I’ve gotten a bump a couple times but it is because of my hair getting stuck so don’t be afraid if you get one. Other than that it’s healed perfectly and im going back in a couple weeks for another piercing“

“I got 14g double nostril piercings done by Joan and it was the BEST piercing experience ever!! I had so much fun!! the staff is so warm and friendly, makes the atmosphere very comfortable and welcoming! everyone is extremely educated as well and has honest answers to every question! absolutely coming back for my next piercings and projects!“

“took the family for an non-traditional sunday of fresh ink and can’t say enough good things about the team, the level of professionalism, and flawless art. thank you so much! we look forward to visiting again soon.“

“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!“

“I wanted a full back piece to cover up an old tattoo I got when I was 16. I came across Andrea Fiorenza on Instagram through an ad, and something immediately told me I had to reach out.

From the very beginning, Andrea’s communication was outstanding, both over the phone and in person. I shared my vision with him, and with his incredible artistic expertise, he added his own creative touch that took the design to another level. The moment I saw it, I was completely in love.

We completed the piece over five sessions, and I have to say, I took it like a champ! 😂 Every session was worth it. Andrea exceeded every expectation I had, and now I can’t stop looking at my back. The detail, artistry, and overall execution are nothing short of amazing.

Thank you again, Andrea, for creating such an incredible piece of art. I truly appreciate your talent and professionalism, and I can’t wait to come back for more ink in the future. If you’re looking for an artist who genuinely cares about bringing your vision to life, I can’t recommend Andrea Fiorenza enough!“

“clean shop, talented tattooist and all-around great experience with Joe (thank youuuuuu!)“

“Listen: the only other place I would trust to get my piercings done is all the way in Malaysia.

With over 20 piercings — some failed, some retired, some still in place and thriving — I was afraid to get my piercing anywhere else, but I got a vertical stack at Nine Moons back in 2022 and it’s one of my favourites to this day.

Definitely felt like I was a man cheating on their barber by going to another, but if I’m back in New York and wanting another piercing, I’d definitely come back here.“

“I visited yesterday to have my forward helix redone. Ganjhy did an amazing job - I hardly felt anything. We realized afterwards that he did both my rook and my flat back in November; had no issues with those piercings either. He is quite gentle and does amazing work. I will request him for any future piercings. Thank you Ganjhy!“

“Just had an amazing tattoo experience at Sacred Tattoo with the artist Gabrielle.

I knew I wanted some kind of bird but I wasn’t quite sure about the design. Gabrielle (@stikbugg) was patient and helped me envision the details and color scheme that fit me perfectly. The tattoo was done with precision and was actually relaxing with the great music they had playing and her steady hand.

I was amazed that she could take a fragment of an idea and turn it into this beautiful piece of art that was customized just for me. I get so many compliments on the color and design.

Sacred Tattoo is an open and clean space, with a relaxed vibe. Can’t wait for my next tattoo with Gabrielle.“

“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.“

“We got at NO IDOLS for an appointment session with Gabe (Ig:@gabetattoos) and ended up spending the whole day there getting two tattoos. The vibe was super chill and welcoming, full of great talking and jokes.

The next day, Ermis (Ig: @ermisart) helped us with changing the second skins - really appreciated that.

The spot is on the best street in New York - Orchard ❤️ Thanks a lot, we’ll definitely be back!“

“I have been a client of Red’s for over 15 years, and throughout that time, he has consistently demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. His work is exceptional, and the quality of his craftsmanship has truly stood the test of time. Red is adaptable, diligent, and an exceptionally talented artist who takes great pride in his work. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding artistry and professionalism.“

“Jinna is a magician when it comes to tattoos. This was my second and third tattoo done by her and they came out flawless. She is super gentle and fantastic with color work! I can’t recommend her enough“

“Had a great experience today! Everything was done with attention to detail and care for what I asked for. Paila was amazing and worked well with us.“

“I’ve since moved away from NYC but I got 12 piercing and a tattoo here and they’ve all turned out beautifully. Highly recommend.“

“I had an incredible experience here! The shop is spotlessly clean and extremely professional. The artists made the whole vibe really fun and relaxed. The process itself was quick, easy, and practically painless. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!“

“first time in nyc was walking around the area and saw the flash tattoos outside, i told one of the artists named steven i believe that was standing there about how i wanted one but it wasnt exactly what i wanted, and he took the time to help me find exactly what i wanted, tattoo was quick, nice, and very cute!! the store was very nice inside too i would reccomend getting a tattoo here if you are in the area looking for one!“

“Amazing experience! Such cute jewelry that they don’t charge extra for different jewelry and came in as a walk in. Great service very reassuring and friendly. Overall loved it very clean!“

“Highly recommend Inkology and Caroline. I had an image in my mind’s eye of what I wanted for my sleeve and she brought that to life. She’s an incredible artist and person!“

“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 chose this place because my daughter has gotten work done here by Ali and it was very nice and detailed. I was real nervous as this was my 1st tattoo. Upon meeting Ali she was very nice and calm which made me feel at ease. I showed her my piece and she quickly came back with 3 sizes to choose from. While getting it done we chatted about life and it was over. It came out perfect and as expected. 10/10.. Thank you.“

“Wanted to leave an awesome 5 star review for Emma and the rest of the team at the Shop Of Things event today. Super sweet, amazing customer service, and a super awesome tooth gem received. Looking forward to visiting the shop and coming in for a future tattoo and (maybe) a piercing as well! <3“

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

“I would highly recommend Magic Touch - I have been working with Surila for a few months now. Results have been great. She is so sweet and very flexible with scheduling. Would not hesitate to recommend her to others!“
