Best Tattoo Shops In New York

“Victor was my best bet for doing my tattoo! My husband showed me this studio - as recommendation and I went through all of the people. By Victor’s portfolio and my ideas I chose him as the only person who could put on my body whatever is in my head as one piece and that was the right decision! Amazing humble person and artist. Some things are worth the cost and time! Choose wisely!!“

“We visited this shop for the first time on a whim, but with an idea in mind. We were warmly welcomed by Samuel, who gave us excellent advice. My girlfriend and I had Samuel tattoo a New York City skyline tattoo in fineline style. It looks great, and even after he finished his work, he was open to further questions and had tips to offer. Uplift Tattoo, especially Samuel, is highly recommended. The shop is stylish, clean, and all the staff made a friendly and professional impression. We'll definitely stop by again the next time we're in New York!“

“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.“

“Great service, friendly staff, excellent artists couldn’t recommend a more qualified facility. Thank you Darren for the awesome work.“

“Ivy was a dream! From the second I stepped into the studio her energy was on and she was super tentative and receptive to my thoughts and ideas. Her work is immaculate and I couldn’t be happier!! Will for sure be back for another“

“Very nice shop with professionals and a really kind shop manager. Quality and hygiene are well respected, fair prices according to size of the designs instead of an hourly rate ??“

“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!“

“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.“

“Got two ear piercings done with Jared. He was super sweet and patient as I picked my jewelry. He had a steady hand when piercing and I didnt feel any tugging. Nice prices too!
Will be coming back for more“

“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!“

“My tattoo artist, Jinna, did an incredible job bringing my design to life. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish, and I’m definitely coming back for more in the future.“

“Hans was amazing. Very professional and kind. He did a great tattoo and gave me recommendations to make it look even better while still respecting what I wanted.“

“I had such a great experience getting my septum piercing with Ericka Vinefog. She took the time to explain everything step by step, which really helped me feel calm and confident. She was extremely patient, kind, and professional, especially because my cousin and I were a bit indecisive, and she never made us feel rushed.

Ericka answered all of our questions, explained the aftercare clearly, and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time. You can truly tell she cares about her clients and wants them to have a positive experience. I’m very happy with my piercing and would absolutely recommend Ericka Vinefog to anyone thinking about getting a piercing!“

“Fun City is a great shop. The artists specialize in a range of styles and they really take care of their clients. They're ready for you before you get there- especially if you have an appointment. They are knowledgable, skillful, fun, and I am a repeat client. I took my son here for his first shop experience. He had such a blast. Big Steve and the FC Team are a class act. Thank you to them and Cheers!“

“I had been thinking about getting my first tattoo for a couple of years, but I wanted it to be something truly special and meaningful. During a trip to New York with my wife, I discovered this studio close to our hotel and decided to stop by.

From the moment I met the owner, Mike, I felt welcomed – what an amazing guy! He recommended an artist named Andres, and after meeting him I immediately knew this was the right place for my first tattoo.

I couldn’t be happier with the result. Andres is incredibly talented, and the tattoo turned out far beyond my expectations. I’m so grateful for the whole experience – not only the tattoo itself but also the people who made it unforgettable.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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 came here with my mum and sister on our trip to nyc and they were great! We were walk ins and they managed to squeeze us in there and then since we were each getting fairly small tattoos. Super happy and the staff are rly nice!“

“The tattoos turned out amazing. I would 100% recommend this shop to anyone. Will definitely be back if I'm ever back in NY“
