It might be strange to write a review for a baby piercing at a tattoo parlor but that's exactly what this is. I brought my 10 month old here to get hers ears pierced. The guy who pierced my baby's ears was so kind and patient and understanding. He's definitely a pro. He sanutized his hands and the workspace before getting started. He used brand new needles, and explained the difference between using a needle (cleaner, safer, less painful) vs a gun (more trauma/damage to the ear, and more likely to cause infection). He was super patient in between piercings because after the first ear she realized what was happening. He took his time and was so great with her. I highly recommend this place for baby ear piercings. Tip them well! read more

This place is so awesome on the inside, it smells really good and I came here with my dad. A few papers had to be signed and once my piercing was being done it was so fast, I literally asked "it's done?" It was so easy and quick. The piercer, Mariano was so nice. 10/10 experience for my first big piercing. read more

Aztec Ink - Industrial Piercing - Tattoo Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I did a lot of research when looking to where to get my first tattoo. The main things I was looking for was: quality of work, fair pricing, experience and a safe/clean establishment. After checking the reviews, portfolios, websites etc. of several establishments in Brooklyn in my eyes this was the clear option. It's owned by a beautiful and kind hispanic family who spoke both English and Spanish. The place itself was incredibly clean, well kept, had modern touches, lots of seating and even a vending machine. I was a walk in as it stated they accepted walk-ins online and luckily someone had canceled so the available artist had time for my piece which I am incredibly thankful for! The artist was very patient with me and listened to exactly what I wanted. I was involved in the entire design process and he made sure I was happy with the final piece, the stencil, the placement, size, font etc. I was nervous because I thought it would hurt a lot but it didn't! It was very tolerable and he made sure to be very sanitary. It took a little less then a hour and my total was around 108$ (which is reasonable considering other places with similar qualifications I was looking for wanted to charge me 200-300$) they accepted credit card payment which was very helpful. He gave me simple after care instructions and I loved the experience I am more then 100% satisfied. The picture was right when it was finished hence the redness but now it's not red anymore. I had a wonderful experience and would come again in the future! Everything was perfect. My first experience was amazing and everything I had hoped for and more. read more

Aztec Ink - Rose flower with name as stem - 100$ - Tattoo Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I had gotten my ears pierced before not at Aztec Ink and unfortunately one of my earlobe piercings got infected so I had to wait for it to heal and close. When re-piercing my ear, I chose to go to Aztec Ink due to the cost and location in Brooklyn. The staff was very quick and helpful in answering any questions I had and I did not need to make an appointment. The wait was probably about ~15 minutes since I walked in and the piercing itself was easy breezy, over in a jiffy. You can choose what type of jewelry material to use for the initial piercing but I just went with the lowest cost default which I think was a medical grade titanium post. The piercing healed nicely and did not get infected again. read more

Juana was very professional & knowledgeable! Lovely, clean place in Sunset Park. Will definitely be returning.

After two years of getting my belly piercing, I went back to get my nipples pierced on a Friday early afternoon. Walk-ins are welcome even after covid. Mariano did my piercing again and he still did a GREAT job. Very professional and hygienic, as always. He allowed my bf to hold my hand during the process haha. I'm surprised he didn't ask if it was okay for him to pierce me and not a female worker. I didn't have a problem with it because I trust him more. However, if you do, then of course ask if a female piercer is available. Nips were 30$ each as of 10/2020. read more

Aztec Ink - Belly piercing $30 - Tattoo Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm only giving a 1 star because I can't give negative stars. I was very disappointed with this place. I called a day prior to going in which the dumb person I spoke with said an appointment wasn't necessary. So I went the following day to get my tattoo and when I get there they said that it was by appointment only meanwhile their website said walk in welcome but apparently not!! The lack of clarity is enough for me to not do business here. I was more than satisfied taking my business elsewhere!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE. They're are better places in the area read more

Mariano is the absolute best! I have about 11 tattoos in total and half are done by Mariano. (I have not gone to anyone else since I found him.) Before going in, I usually send him a DM on Instagram with the design I want, from there we coordinate a price and time to get it done. He is very responsive with reasonable prices, both small and large pieces. When I was still looking for artists, I would ask other artists for price estimates on the same pieces before and others have always given me a higher rate. Mariano is gentle, patient and very good at what he does. I will never go to another tattoo artist. His line work is amazing and his detailing is even better. He runs the shop with his beautiful wife, both are always welcoming. I tell all my friends and family to visit him! 10/10 would recommend. Absolutely amazing! read more

Honestly one of the best experiences with a piercing I've had. I've had 2 piercings done before, one at The End Is Near in Parkslope and the other at Whatever Tattoo in St. Mark's Place but I think for my fourth piercing, I'll be coming back to Aztec Tattoo! The receptionist was verg kind and helpful and Mariano, my piercer, was such a nice dude. He checked my anatomy to make sure that the jewelry would suit my face. He even let me choose between two sizes of jewelry. The process was quick and practically painless. Mariano also checked out another piercing of mine that had become agitated and I'm suuuuper anxious about these kind of things so that was a big help! I don't know why I haven't heard of this place before because I'm definitely coming back! read more

Aztec Ink - The jewelry shifted because I was smiling on the way home but it's so cute! - Tattoo Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Got my nostril pierced and my bf got his septum pierced the staff was nice and explained everything about our piercings to us.

DO NOT GO HERE TO GET PIERCINGS. I wanted to change my current piercings I got from another piercer (my piercer is closed due to covid). I called and spoke to a lady and asked her if she was able to sterilize my jewelry that I was gonna bring in to have her change. She said "no it takes too long, unless you wanna buy the beginner jewelry" and then I said "okay, how would you clean my jewelry?" (I asked this to verify if the place was actually clean), she straight up said "alcohol" and that was when I hung up. PIERCINGS ARE OPEN WOUNDS, YOU DO NOT CLEAN PIERCINGS WITH ALCOHOL, ESPECIALLY IF THE PIERCINGS ARE IN A DELICATE AREA. read more

My sisters and I (and now my friends) all go to Mariano, and I highly recommend Aztec Ink to everyone. He is really attentive and has really steady hands. he gives you breaks if you need it. So far I've gotten three from Mariano and have another tattoo scheduled in a few weeks! read more

Aztec Ink - a cover up Mariano did for me. super great price too! - Tattoo Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came by and there was someone in the store. They did acknowledge that there was 2 other people standing outside. The guy with a ponytail was tattooing someone right at the front and they were laughing at us waiting outside. I don't know what was so funny. Your a business to make money but now you lost 3 customers. You could have just answered your phone or told us you were closed but all you did was laugh. Never coming here. read more

To be honest do not know how to start, for many years I wanted to have a tattoo, but I was scared, and I did not know where to go, so finally my fried recommended this place cause she said they were good at it, so she made me an appointment and I came and OMG I Am more than happy with the job the owner super nice and very very patient with me, place super clean razor, needle new ones.

I came to Mariano for my first tattoo, and he remained wonderful throughout the whole process. Mariano had great bedside manners, talked out my tattoo design with me and was very accommodating in making the changes when I expressed concerns about the design. He was also very attentive to how I was feeling as it was my first time and would check up on me every so often to make sure I was doing ok. Mariano is also very talented with a super steady hand, he has been doing this for over 20 years and I would highly recommend coming here. The price was also very reasonable and my tattoo came out awesome! read more

Got ink'd by Z, I'm scared of pain but he was very patient and even switched to a larger needle so there was less pain and it would be easier to fill in the birds. Decided on a basic tattoo and he did a wonderful job with the shading and the detail is wonderful. read more

This place really sucks. I came here for a laser tattoo removal. My experience at this place was awful. My tattoo didn't fade at all, and the customer service was horrible. I think they have cheap machine that's why it's not working and they keep telling you to pay for more sections. read more

Had a great experience! My friend found this place on a whim after another place called "The End is Near" was about to charge me like $75.00 or more for the Munroe and a mandatory piece of jewelry. I called before coming and the guy was pretty nice, very professional. He greeted my friend and I very well. Got my Munroe piercing and I'm happy. Highly recommend this place. Clean and nice ambiance. read more

Upon researching tattoo removal for about 1 year now, getting consultations, and receiving price quotes from different places around NYC I decided to make my final decision and come here to Aztec Ink. I have two tattoos that are both almost 15 years old that I would like removed. Upon speaking to Juana at Aztec Ink I realized that she is knowledgable and not just out for the money. There are an array of things that can go wrong including scarring and burning but Juana assured me that this is not what Aztec Ink is about. She uses the laser on a certain level and pays close attention to the contributing factors including the most important ones which are skin tone and skin type. I had my first treatment on both tattoos and so far all is well. It is extremely painful as expected but the pain will be worth not having tattoos that I feel no longer fit into my life as an adult. Her prices are good and she was willing to work with me being that I am getting more than 1 tattoo removed. The price is the least of my concern in a situation like this but it helps that it is affordable being that this will be somewhat of a long process. The removal on average takes about 4-10 sessions every 6 weeks. So far after my first session the tattoos are healing nicely with no signs of scarring or infection. It is way too early to tell what the final result will be but I trust that this will work out well. Updates will come! read more

Aztec Ink - Review of the day 3/3/17 - Tattoo Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Everything about this place is amazing, the way it smells, the cozy home feeling of the waiting area, it's exceptional hygiene and their professionalism over all.

I'm so happy I found this gem so close to home. read more

Last year, a neighbor refered me to this place & ask for Mariano. In which I did. And I'm glad I did. The place is very clean. Mariano & Z made me feel super comfortable. I definitely will be coming here for all my tats. read more

I got my nose pierced here a while ago and it was painless easy and took about 30 seconds in total, but the piercer pierced it twice (as in he put the needle into my nose twice. They give you a piercing with a screw on and for me, that was very uncomfortable and eventually got it changed to an L-shaped one. I did develop a keloid and it is slowly going away but it was such a stubborn keloid. Even if the place was very clean and neat, I still developed a keloid which was very unfortunate. read more

Mariano and his wife are very welcoming and work with you to understand your vision and provide honest feedback. I have looked for many months for an artist who would be able to bring my vision to life. I am so glad I choose Mariano to work on this. Not only did he do a fantastic job, he was also able to fix a botched tattoo that has been bothering me for a year. Highly recommend. read more

Got a nose piercing a month ago; the piercing healed perfectly. The service was really good and I had a pretty minimal wait time. The overall price for nose piercing including the stud was $30. Price is fair and good experience! read more

I really really like this place. Mariano did my belly piercing and although I kept making request of how I want the piercing to look like, he remained calm and gentle. It is very comfortable to discuss with him about what I want and what is my problem. I did my belly piercing twice and they did not come out well. So I decided to try a new place for the third time. I am very pleased with what I got here. Mariano is also very careful with the sterilization process. It was quick, take about 3-5 seconds. No pain!! Highly recommended for body piercing. Thanks, Mariano. read more

Mariano was fantastic - made sure the design matched what I wanted, was thorough and efficient, and overall seemed to be a sincerely nice, chill guy. Will definitely return. read more

Got a cartilage piercing here about two weeks ago and had a great experience. I believe the name of my piercer is Juana and she did a great job. It took no longer than 10 minutes. Everything looked clean and she sanitized her hands and wore gloves while piercing. I will be returning here for future piercings. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to get micro dermal piercings and decided that we would try Aztec Ink. We were pierced by Mariano and it was a great experience. Aztec Ink has a great selection of dermal toppers and is clean and well lit. Mariano was patient and as gentle as he could be with my dermal implants. They only do titanium implants (which are preferred) and the price was super competitive with some other places I called. I will definitely be back for other bod mods. read more
