“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“

“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 got a tattoo on my neck in portuguese and they did an amazing job! The text is challenging and they took the time to make sure it looked as accurate as possible, especially with all the different accents and details. I also got a septum piercing there and it was great!“

“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“

“Ed and Martha are Absolutely top class experience every time I visit this establishment amazing quality work that last for years highly recommended“

“Recently got my tattoo done by Rachel and I have to say she was so quick and efficient. There were nothing but laughter and good vibes during our session, everybody there were friendly and I will definitely be going back for more ink. Thank you again for this wonderful piece you helped me put together.“

“Lucas es un fenómeno!! My man Lucas did a phenomenal SpongeBob colored piece on my leg which took about 5 hours of crafted and meticulous detail. He is also very careful and attentive if you need a break or something to eat. Overall, the experience is beyond a 5/5. Highly recommended for all tattoo enthusiasts“

“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!“

“Jackie is first friendly, knowledgeable,and good at his craft. The shop is small but very clean and we'll kept. I had a tattoo,and double Helix piercing done. No stress,no hassle. I will recommend anyone who may want to get a tattoo to go see him. You will get what you want done properly,and it will definitely look good. Five stars . Thank you Jackie.“

“Highly recommend Jon Jon at The Hermit Tattoo! This is the second tattoo he’s done for me and I’m so happy with both of them! My most recent was very meaningful to me and I wanted it to be exactly perfect as it is a tribute to my late grandfather. Jon Jon captured exactly what I wanted in a way I didn’t even think of! So incredibly happy with the tattoo and the healing process has been great as well! Thank you again Jon Jon! I know Opa would love the tattoo! ? -Kim“

“I had a really great experience at this beauty salon today. From the moment I walked in, the environment felt clean and relaxing. The staff were very friendly and took the time to analyze my skin carefully without pushing unnecessary treatments, which made me feel very comfortable.

During the facial, the technique was professional and very gentle. The whole process was relaxing, and my skin felt noticeably more hydrated and radiant afterward. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with great value for the price.

I’ll definitely be coming back and will recommend it to my friends ?“

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

“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!“

“Had the pleasure of working with Petr on a beautiful tattoo that I conceived and he designed. I am over the moon with the way it turned out and would highly recommend him and the shop to anyone interested in procuring some body art.

I have worked with a few different artists over the years in the Los Angeles area, where I live; I didn’t go to NYC specifically for this tattoo, but I am so glad I chose Petr in spite of the geographic distance.“

“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.“

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!“

“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 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 the piercer here! Been coming for years now and always does a great job. 10/10 recommend.“

“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!!“

“I’m so impressed by the service of Hudson Beauty Bar! The booking process for my microblading touch up was easy and quick. I love the communications prior to my appointment with reminders and pre care tips.

When I arrived for my appointment, I was a little nervous but that was quickly eased after meeting Esther. She was so nice and welcoming! I was given the most comfy slippers to wear and the office aesthetic was calming.

Esther talked through what I wanted and what would work/look best. Her work was efficient. She made sure I was satisfied with the final result and explained post care.

I left loving my eyebrows and excited for the final healed look. Can’t recommend Hudson Beauty Bar enough!“
