Best Tattoo Shops In Rochester

“I recommend Forest Ink 100%. This was my first professional tattoo and I am delighted to have had such a good experience. Yanna opens the needles and such right in front of you so you have peace of mind about sterility. Additionally, her work is absolutely beautiful. She is friendly and easy to talk to, and made my first tat a comfortable experience. The prices were wildly inexpensive, and Yanna is incredibly talented. Thank you so much!!!!

Cleanliness: Yanna opened needles and other supplies in front of you, insuring that it just came out of sterile packaging.

Stylist: Yanna is incredibly talented, and just simply cool. Willing to chat or work quietly, and neither felt awkward.“

“After getting dissed by a different shop & so called tattoer, I went to my facebook friends & got a few recommendations for which I messaged them all & Spenny from here-Art to Zen Tattoo was the ONLY tattoer that answered me back. So after an amazing in person consultation, he said he could do exactly what I asked for (picture given) and he was able to book me in less than 2 weeks! This isn't my 1st tattoo, but it is my first in 35 YEARS! & had an amazing experience!! He's very fast yet precise with his work which was so awesome I immediately booked another one with him! I live in North Chili and with tattoo shops everywhere nowadays, I will continue to go to Greece and Spenny for all my custom or even traditional tattoos!! (I do plan on getting several more)“

“I had work done by Toby. World class artist and what a decent person. I had to cancel and reschedule a few times and he was nothing but understanding. I sent him the design I wanted and he nailed it. Placement was on my left side abdomen and Toby had a very gentle hand with minimal discomfort. He took his time and piece was perfect. We had great conversations and he’s not just a fantastic artist but also a true gentleman versed in many informative topics.The shop itself was extremely clean and the ecstatics were both comfortable as well as trendy. It’s a top notch experience over all. Thanks again Toby and Old Friends Tattoo. Looking forward to my next appointment in March.“

She radiates good energy. I have now collected 4 pieces of forever art from her and I have an appointment for my 5th today. I keep coming back for a reason and you should too. This shop is loaded with talent.“

“My experience at Ink Cartel was wonderful. This was my second tattoo in 25 years and I was quite nervous. The shop assistant was extremely helpful and courtious. My tattoo artist was Kim. She came highly recommended for her line work. I brought in reference photos and she came up with a design that I had envisioned. She was very helpful with the placement and orientation, and pointed out things I had never thought about. During the process she was so kind and helpful, making sure I was comfortable at all times. She showed me her equipment and I was able to see the cleanliness and sterility of the needles. I was nervous so this immensely put me at ease. I am so thrilled with my new tattoo. It represents everything I wanted it to. When I get another tattoo or recommend a shop to others, I will always work with Kim in the future.“

“The only artist in Roc New York you can trust to touch your face! Gina is incredibly talent and I’m beyond thrilled with the outcome of my microbladed eyebrows. She took her time, made me comfortable, and I trusted her the whole way through a very easy, painless service. Wished I did it sooner!“
