Easiest 5 star review I've ever given. This place deserves the praise for solid tattooing work,…read moreincredibly comfortable atmosphere, and being very fairly priced. In other words, everything you'd want a quality tattoo shop to be. As has been mentioned by many before, Chris is a great dude. Spent about four hours getting a shoulder tattoo done by him, and the entire time was spent with very relaxing casual conversation, joking around, and some pretty awesome stories. I got an estimated quote for the tattoo cost from him before the appointment (like a min-max of the expected cost), and even though it's pay-by-the-hour, AND we went over the expected time by like another hour and a half, he still charged me the minimum for the quote. Needless to say, when the time comes for the next tat, I'm going to see Chris without question. You should too.

Unfortunately, we got there near closing time and couldn't get the tattoo done as someone was already on the table getting worked on. He explained how he was the only one tattooing at the moment and could not start another piece this evening but was more than happy to help us when we return. We asked if a piercing was something he can do at the moment and without hesitation he took us right in. He pierced the upper ear and did a great job. Overall, this place was very clean, friendly and professional.

It was so beautiful my daughter decided to get a tattoo done by him. I would also like to say that along with Miguel the other staff members that were there were so friendly and professional. Thank you again Tattoo Tribe!!!!!

I found tattooist Yeonnie through a friend who came here to get a tattoo of her cats. I really…read moreliked her art and when my friend showed me her versions of windchimes and norigae style tattoo, i was sold. After my first, I've been perusing what would be the best style for my second (I really wanted to get a tattoo dedicated to my cat, Matcha). I instantly fell in love and as fate has it, there was an inspo photo of an omamori with jiji (from kiki's) and cherry blossoms that hit my instagram. Instantly, I knew that this is the style I would like so I messaged Yeonnie and she responded quick. She will do the sketch a day before your appointment (you'll get a cute sketch by midday) and you can request any changes. I absolutely adored the edition of my cartooni-fied cat. Now that I have it on my upper left arm, I am so happy to have a few of the things I personally love forever on my body. Thank you :) I definitely would recommend her. She's quick so the painful moments does not last as long. highly recommend!!

Jessa, Juan, and everyone at G.O.I. were so welcoming, friendly, and professional. Jessa's work is impeccable. Between her and the young lady at front desk, they talked (distracted) with my wife while being worked on and she barely felt any pain. Check out their work (IG & galleryofinknj.com), skip getting a second mortgage to be inked in New York, and get your butt over to Gallery of Ink. Tip.... parking can be a little rough since they are located on main drag which doesn't allow parking... be aware when you park on local streets the town has a 2 hour parking limit.

I wanted a tattoo that covered my wrist surgery, captured who I am (The Sunflower...happiness, optimism, honesty, longevity, peace, admiration, and devotion), the life of my family (Butterflies...my hubby, son, & myself; also symbolizes Father God, Jesus Christ, & Holy Spirit). I also wanted a permanent wedding band. Jessa DID IT! It started with the consultation that I easily scheduled online. Then I met with her and her beautiful assistant Ashley to talk, review my ideas, and come up with the plan. It was also my 1st tattoo EVER so I had a lot of questions. They took good care of me during the consultation which left me feeling comfortable with moving forward. Today I went in for the work AND I couldn't be happier. Our time together was wonderful. Jessa is very loving and caring. She also has the BEST laugh! I honestly felt like I was hanging out with friends. Jessa and her hubby Juan own the shop and they have an amazing team. Getting a permanent tattoo for the 1st time at the age of 48 is not an easy decision but I'm SO SO thankful I choose to do it at Gallery of Ink. PERCENT recommend this business‼
