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!!

Very chill vibe and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Lastly, being I am a virgin when it comes to tattoos, I was a little nervous and didn't know exactly what to expect. I had pondered a particular design for over 10 years. I happened to meet someone who had multiple tats showing on the subway and asked her out of the clear blue for her opinion. Well it must have been Good Karma. (Not Chappell Roan's Good Karma) Turns out Nicole is a tattoo artist and gave me a better idea for what I had been contemplating. Nicole gave me her card and we exchanged emails going over what came to be my final design. This put me over the edge and decided to pop my tattoo cherry. I booked my appointment with her. She took great care when doing my ink explaining everything as we went through the process. I really didn't find it hurting as other people have said to me when they got theirs. Kudos to Nicole if that's unusual for the process to not hurt. I am absolutely thrilled with the way it turned out! No doubt I would recommend Nicole for any artwork. She is truly amazing!

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Rowan and honestly left feeling uncomfortable and…read moretargeted. My original appointment was scheduled for 4 PM and was later changed by the store to 6:45 PM. Despite that, by around 7:20 PM we still had not been seen -- even though it appeared we were the last appointment of the night. The shop was overcrowded, chaotic, and extremely loud, yet the issue somehow became my child quietly playing with his toys while we waited. One of the nurses told my son to stop playing because he was "distracting" her, which felt completely unnecessary considering the noise level in the store overall sounded like a cafeteria. We were also the only Black family there at the time, and the interaction honestly left me feeling racially profiled and singled out. What made the situation worse was the lack of professionalism afterward. The young woman at the front refused to provide her name when asked, and when I asked the nurse for hers, she simply responded "Rowan" instead of identifying herself appropriately. If there are policies regarding children in the waiting area, they certainly were not clearly posted or communicated beforehand. I understand businesses get busy, but professionalism, transparency, and respectful treatment of customers should still be the standard. Unfortunately, this experience did not reflect that at all.

Every artist in the facility is incredibly skilled, professional, and welcoming, which really shows the level of standards Queens Ink holds. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and creative from start to finish. If you're looking for high-quality, realistic tattoo work done by true professionals, Queens Ink is the place to go. I wouldn't trust my skin to anyone else. Highly recommend.

It's a permanent thing on your body so I would pay more ensure that it's done correctly anyway! The service here was amazing and everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and excited to work with you! I made an appointment here to get my navel re-pierced and chose this place due to their high ratings and reviews on Google. I can say with confidence that the accolades are well deserved! I had the pleasure of working with George to do my piercing. Upon walking into my appointment I was greeted by another employee who checked my ID and walked me through the process while George was getting ready for me. He was so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and welcoming! He warned ahead of time that navel is an anatomy- based piercing so there's a chance I won't be able to get it done after my consultation, in addition to aftercare and resources so that I'm well-armed with everything I need to know to take care of my new piercing. In the last I've had my navel done unprofessionally, and then again professionally about a few years ago so I was hesitant about the scarring. George did my consult and assured me that it was safe for me to get it done again. He walked me through the process and talked through exactly what he was doing for prepping and piercing so I didn't get anxiety in anticipation. My navel looks beautiful and it's healing so nicely!! I felt safe, assured that I was getting it done so professionally, and I love how all the info is displayed on the website. All piercers have IGs if you have follow up questions and they respond so fast! Highly recommend!!
