Great place, the folks are good here and very helpful. Joe did a great job and the price is reasonable. I highly recommend this place and I will be coming back for sure for another one.

I got my first tattoo here and Rob did an EXCELLENT job! I would recommend this place to anyone, they do really good work, are very clean and professional. When it's time for another, I'm going back to Brooklyn Ink. In terms of tat suggestions: if you're going to do it, DO IT! why get something dinky??

absolutely incredible place. Matt explained everything to me, from the reason he's using the curved barbell, to the healing and aftercare process. the piercing itself was completely painless (really though..in a scale of 1-10 it was a 0), fast and professional. everything was properly sterilized and most of all it was just such a welcoming place. we had great convo and he even gave my friends advice on tattoos! 10/10 recommend and i'll definitely be coming here for more piercings!

Brooklyn Ink is the only tattoo place I really go to and have been coming here for seven years. I have done most of my tattoos and piercings from here. I have gotten tattooed from Alex, Matt and Joe but the one who has done most of my work is Alex. It is extremely clean in here so you do not have to worry. It's also a great environment and all the artist do amazing work. Going to a tattoo shop consist of having great artist and cleanness. I gave walked in with an idea of a tattoo and just told Alex and he just did the tattoo right there and than. Or he just did it straight on my arm without drawing it in a paper first. The prices are reasonable which remember You get what you pay for. Every piece I have gotten from here is quality work and always came out amazing. I have never been unhappy with anything I got here. I even had a tattoo fixed from Alex because another place in the city messed up. Also if you are looking for a good piercing this is the place! Matt has done all of my piercing I have and I have never had a problem with any of them. I got a piercing once from someone else and it went so wrong and they refused to help so I came here and Matt helped me save it. Also the way they tell you to take care of your tattoos is the proper way I believe because every tattoo and even piercing had always healed with no problems. I have a tattoo from another shop which was my first and it was healed wrong due to what I was told to use. My advise is really if you are looking for a shop this is the place!

Went in to ask info on a small tattoo, I was helped by Matt and basically ended up getting it the same day. He was very neat and super funny. 10 out of 10, will return.

so far so good, hopefully when I am done with my Tat and everything goes well I will def give this place five stars, the people are really helpful and welcoming, the artists are beyond great at their craft, i havent finished my tat i go tomorrow but i already get compliment on how good it looks. Joe is my current artist and the at the looks of it , i dont think i will ever go to anyone else, people are always asking who my artist is and i almost dont want to tell them...lol these guys are very professional, CLEAN, and welcoming, worst feeling is walking into a place and having the feeling that all these tattooed people are staring at you judging, not here these guys will make you feel at home. Parking sucks , sorry guys...lol

I got my first tattoo here. Originally I wanted something the size of a quarter, and Chuck was very upfront on that it will disintegrate eventually over the years and not look good. I got a Rose the size of half of a dollar, it took 20 minutes, and wasn't nearly as painful as it could've been. He was honest, funny, and overall made the experience better. The minimum is 50$ and since it was Halloween they had tons of tattoos ranging from little as 31$, 66$, and I think 138$ that were fairly large and gorgeously designed. If I ever get another tattoo I'll be back.. Thank you! Some of these negative reviews.. Lighten up.. It's a tattoo shop with tattoo artists, it is a laid black environment with laid back people by nature, not some up-tight corporate business..

I come here for my tats both times were great.. Joe is one of the best realist tattoo artist I've seen in New York. Very real using negative space and colors. My first tat was an owl portrait which came out phenomenal. If you wana check it out its in the portfolio. My second was a king chess piece which came out just as the picture. Don't be rude and a douche have a clear idea of what u want and bring in pictures and photographs. Very friendly and professional will be back soon

The symbol of AURYN from The Neverending Story. Done by ALEX on 6/30/2012. Amazing!

My wife and Her sister have had several pieces done by Alex at Brooklyn ink. As long as Brooklyn ink is open we will never go anywhere else. The work done by Alex and the other artists is absolutely superb. Not only is their work incredible but so is their attitude! They are all great guys and they treat you like old friends from the moment you walk through their door. Once your piece is done you don't just get pushed out the door either. Aftercare is just as important to these guys as the work itself. They want to make sure you leave knowing exactly how to take care of the piece during the healing process and they make it clear that you can always call or come into the shop with any questions or concerns. In short, they care. You cannot go wrong if you go to Brooklyn Ink.

HoG has been 25 years in my neighborhood, so I walked in there on a whim. Banna at the front desk was warm and welcoming. We talked about what I wanted, She showed real interest in a raw design idea of mine. A small thing of straight lines, concentric circles and a Chinese character that, as a whole, represented deeper things only to me. She recommended Mike G. who she said makes the cleanest lines and showed me samples of his work along with a couple of other artists'. My appt with Mike was a few days later. I had emailed my sketches and a reference picture for the Chinese character. He had the design ready. It was true to my idea and needed no alteration. He had it mocked up in slightly different sizes and even produced an in between size when I asked. Just around two inches was prefect. I was completely at ease with Mike from hello. And despite warnings from a friend who has several tats that the inner upper arm is a tender area, I gotta say, the screaming baby on the subway going there cause me more discomfort than Mike's needle. His lines are indeed clean, crisp, straight or even in all the right ways. Here is the character a half inch high looking like it was applied with a brush. At four weeks everything's healed very nicely. I thought I couldn't be happier with it, then I learned something special. The character which means "not yet" is also the character representing the "earthly branch" connected to my zodiac animal, the goat. I love this tattoo! Thank you Mike. Thank you Banna. And HoG, I hope you're there for another 25. Jules

Electric Anvil had an extensive selection of different types jewelry and the pieces themselves weren't insanely overpriced like some other shops in the area. our piercer named Jose had a calm, professional demeanor, yet was very easy to speak to and gladly answered all our questions even going so far as to give advise on and check our other piercings we hadn't even had done there and gave us detailed aftercare directions (we had a few random questions about jewelry size, checked if some of our piercings were still open, etc). each piercing Jose did was quick and painless, which was largely in part due to his competence and experience. he was extremely cautious when prepping and piercing us, repeatedly changing his gloves throughout and re-sanitizing everything he used, touched or even looked at. while i felt bad he had to go through so many pairs of gloves, it was very reassuring to see he took our safety and the sanitation process seriously--especially for a first time visit. we both had a 3rd hole pierced on one ear and all together it came out to be about $70 each ($40 for the piercing and $30 for the jewelry). there wasn't a single thing i didn't like about the experience we had at Electric Anvil and i would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get a piercing! 11/10

Had my second tattoo done by Lynn Hoang and she is unbelievable as a professional tattoo artist and…read moreI would say she is one of the best in the business. I have seen her work on Instagram and so I was not surprised by the quality of art that she is capable of. But when my piece was finalized, I was mind blown and speechless at the level of art that she was able to create. She was able to take the ideas I had and elevate it to a whole new level. She truly is a professional, never rushed and took her time with the smallest detail and I can't thank her enough for this master piece that she had created. On top of all that she showed great hospitality and was very accommodating. This was definitely worth every dollar I had spend and I look forward to more projects with Lynn in the future. If you really want your mind to be at ease with your tattoo, look no further because Lynn will make sure you walk out of here happy!

This tat can only be completed by one of the best tattoo artist who uses vision to describe her work of art. And believes that the future is in her hands. I have some ideas that I want to share with my tattoo artist known as X. The shop is located in a quaint side of Brooklyn that surrounded by other professional workspaces. As i visited this location I could clearly see the difference in lost shops and how this one is laid out. It has an open floor plan which relieves the customer of that claustrophobic feeling with plastered walls and loose fitting curtains. It is very clean, well lit from natural light with at least 3 stations for tattooing. I met Luis who is an amazing artist from Venezuela. His work can be found on the web. One of their new artist is mine. She goes by the nickname X- she was working at the Hawaii location and just relocated to Brooklyn. Her work and journey to the tattoo industry is phenomenal! You can read a small window of her background in this link: https://issuu.com/flourishdigitalmagazine/docs/flourish_digital_magazine_-_september_-_october_f/13 Allow her to design your next statement. X has a way of bringing out the details that work with your purpose. For me, this will be my Christmas gift to myself. For you, it may be a part of your higher calling. All of the artist are trained and refined by the legendary and world renown artist Robert Pho- a creative genius who's tattooing is recognized international for his black and grey works (see link): https://www.outlookindia.com/outlook-spotlight/robert-pho-wins-hearts-by-getting-people-inked-with-his-beautiful-art--news-201123/amp I would be surprised if he opened another shop in another part of this galaxy because he is out of this world! All I am saying is this: if you are going to get something on your body that last forever, the artist and platform art Skin Design is where you want to start and end.

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!!

Now, I was a walk-in but I had emailed with them several times regarding price and availability. I appreciate that they told me to call before coming in (which I did) because I didn't want to go in vain. Big Mike is super nice, chill and very easy to talk to. I'm a teacher and he's a soon to be art teacher so we bonded over that. Really cool guy and very patient and understanding. Mike took the time to search for fonts that resembled what I wanted and then trying out different sizes, never once rushing the process which I appreciated. Once the tattoo outline was placed on my skin, he again asked me if the placement was what I wanted and size, again thanks for doing that. Overall, loved my experience here, have & will continue to recommend. Super clean, friendly artists, in & out in 30 mins. Thank you for making me feel comfortable the whole time and good luck with the edTPA mike!

The second thing was the lack of correct equipment. He used thick rusty pliers (which is incredibly risky because this piercing is STILL HEALING!!) and scissors instead of ring opening pliers of flat nose pliers. My brand new, expensive jewlery broke in his hands without compensation. He stated "this is the risk that you take". However, no risk was stated and there was no debriefing done. I've had rings of a similar gauge opened just fine. I'm very disappointed because My jewelry broke before I could wear it out and it was a waste of money because I cannot wear it anymore. He stated to me that "i've never seen a septum piercing this large before" which i could understand, but to me it shows that he should've declined the job if he knew he didn't have experience in it. This is my second weird experience with my septum piercing at this shop. The first time was when the piercer tried telling me what gauge i was at (assumed 16) and debated with me about with me knowing it was a 12. Then proceeded to say 20 gauge is thicker and 16 is thinner, which is opposite. The people on the piercing side here do not know what they are doing.
