The girl that did my conch in September seemed annoyed that she had to do her job. It was weird and unwelcoming vibes. And I recently just changed the earring and the placement is horrible. Its way further down than what its supposed to be. I asked her to line it up to my other ears conch. Im so upset ,its a major irk that its uneven. I can only think of having to use a different and bigger piece for some sort of optical illusion to not get annoyed every time i look at it. Also im pretty sure its even crooked bc the back is basically touching my skull read more

Bad owner, I don't know why the photos aren't going in order but if you really want to get a tattoo here, I suggest you read the screenshots. I tried to write it in the common box. I think it was too much. I also had to to urgent care and get the earring removed from being embedded into my earlobe. read more

Jess the piercer is so professional and skilled. Got a flat piercing that was near painless and healed beautifully. The jewelry choices are so unique and there is something for all tastes. I will always go to Jess for my piercings with no reservations. I know I'm in good hands. read more

Went for a piercing 2 days ago, hoping to get an industrial done. Right away Sammie said she'd have to check me out and gave me her honest assessment that it wouldn't work with my ear shapes. I was disappointed but glad she was professional and knew what I would expect if I did get it done and didn't work out. I ended up getting my conch and I love it. She made the experience so calming and was super nice the whole time. I've gotten 5 piercings at cliffs now and will keep coming back! read more

Got a coverup tattoo here completely blown out looks hideous on my arm. Every other artist I go to says its way to dark and messed up. Never come here, not very professional service. Talked to an artist over Instagram DMS and would swipe up with off innaproiate comments . I regret everyday going to this place because now I have an ugly tattoo and the thought of this disgusting man on my arm forever! Do not recommend. read more

Where do I begin? I got my helix pierced at another shop. But their jewelry not many options and extremely expensive. I'm good with titanium and CZs. Plus titanium is more durable and less soft than 14k gold. I originally got my helix done with 14g. Barely any jewelry options in that size. 16g most common size. Angela downsized me! And the earrings affordable and soooo many options! Take walk ins! I'm going here from now on! They are amazing. read more

Love my tattoo, Super disappointed in the staff and I won't ever come back here again. First of all, I waited outside for about 3 hours. Although I did come on a friday night so long wait was expected but that's not even what makes me mad. In the middle of their LONG waitlist the whole staff decides to take a dinner break for about 45 MINUETS!!! I just think it was a little unprofessional knowing you have at least 10 more people you need to get into your shop and you close in an hour. BUT, This is not even the reason for my poor review. I finally get inside and I ask how much she thinks she's going to charge for my tattoo. My mom let me charge it to her credit card because this was my first tattoo. She tells me $50, immediately I think wow that's super cheap I expected like $75/$80 (Side note i know for a fact she said this because I texted my mom right away how much I was going to be charging to her card) She does my tattoo and I'm getting ready to pay and I pass her a $50 bill and she tells me she said $150. $150?! For that Minuscule tattoo that took you 20 minuets?! So whatever I wasn't going to haggle her and the work was already done so we go up to the front to swipe my card and she tells me she thinks she's pretty sure she told me $180 so we can meet in the middle and do $170?! This woman totally tried to scam me!!!! She completely tried to take advantage of the fact that I'm young and this was my first tattoo and was the last person in the shop surrounded by her coworkers so she knew i wouldn't make a scene. NEVER GO HERE!!! THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU read more

Lauryn was amazing! She let me take my time browding the jewelry before committing to a piece, and she even found one that matched my septum ring perfectly. We HAD to do it. I had been painfully uncertain about which labret style I should get, but she made me feel secure and relaxed about the traditional center. She was thorough and clear about care instructions and risks, and when push came to shove, the piercing itself was almost COMPLETELY painless. I literally barely felt a thing. I am so happy with the result, and I know that if I do ever want to change to a vertical labret in the future, I would want to see her about it. Thanks, Lauryn! read more

Amazing ,Talented Chantal is my Tattoo Artist and there are so many things to tell you about her but the best way is to experience her work for yourself. She is an just an Artist who can freehand draw like a pro and capture every feeling, thought, and idea of what you want to express in our tattoo. She really listens to what you want and makes you feel so comfortable knowing your tattoo will be exactly the way you want it. She is beyond Talented and such fun loving person and I love getting Tattooed by her. I trust her so much I often say you design it. She is so gentle and relaxing with her calming voice. I adore her and absolutely would recommend her to anyone. She takes such good care of me when i'm in her chair I know I'm in good hands. She is an asset to this Tattoo parlor. Chantal has tattooed me 8 different times and I love everyone of my pieces. Just love her!!! See for yourself.. read more

Years ago I got one tattoo here, and honestly it was a terrible experience. The artist looked like she was misters me the entire time she was doing it and she placed it in the wrong spot. Luckily bc it's behind my ear only I can tell that the placement is wrong. Went recently with a friend so they could get a piercing, and the piercer GOT THE RING stuck in my friends nipple... I also noticed last time I went racist memorabilia hidden around the shop. They're so many great shops on Long Island, and this is not one of them. read more

I LOVE this shop! Chantal is AMAZING! She has blessed me not only with 5 incredibly artistic and soulful tattoos, but with an unforgettable experience! She is not only a talented, bright and bubbly person, but she has a heart of gold. You know she will always want to make your tattoo perfect for you and will listen to exactly what you want so you will leave ecstatic with your new body art. I can't say enough about Chantal! I love this girl! You will love the work she will do for you. You will feel like royalty and at home at the same time! You have to get tattooed by Chantal! I also had the pleasure of getting piercings done by Angie. Another genuine soul at this shop. She was extremely helpful, patient and knowledgable at her craft. You will not be disappointed. Don't walk to Cliff's Tattoo, RUN there! read more

Had some bad experiences here I don't recommend it to anyone. The workers suck! They talk shit about their clients and harshly criticize anyone's ideas. If you come in with an idea and they don't like it... they'll rip you to shreds. I understand not everyone's tattoo ideas are good and it's the artists job to communicate that with the client but they could be more professional about it. Forgot the name of the guy who did this umbrella but it's not good and he dug too deep into my skin. Reddit had a field day with roasting it. My favorite was, "You don't like your umbrella-shielded collection of sweaty electrified testicles?" Lol. Made the mistake of going back again and Chantal was my artist. She did good work but she was a b*tch! She didn't listen to my idea to begin with and was angry and lashed out on me for having to re draw it. I was so upset, she made me feel like a horrible person. I felt bad she had to redraw it but excuse me for wanting it to be the way I asked.. it's going on my body for life! Sheesh! After she made me feel uncomfortable and stupid I never went back. So unprofessional! read more

Management is good but I got a shitty tattoo here which I later had to get covered up from a real professional the first picture is what I got the 2nd is what I wanted. I reported this to the manager and she wanted to help fix this but I didn't want another tattoo from this shop. Instead I got my cartilage pierced which I guess made up for the tattoo since I got it covered up a month after it had healed. read more

Rick at Cliff's is the only artist I'll ever allow to tattoo me. I went somewhere else once -- boy, was that a mistake. My mom recommended me to him after sitting for him for 20+ hours over several different pieces. At times, he'd schedule me out a few weeks because he was booked, but it was always worth the wait. Professional, clean, experienced. If I wanted another tattoo, I'd hop on a plane and travel 1,100 miles to be sure I got what I wanted. Call the shop, stop in and look through his portfolio, or check him out on IG: @rickeasttattoos read more

Been going here for years for most my piercings. Always been a good clean and trustworthy place. Hadn't gotten anything done for a while decided to get my nose done again, and the piercer Angie was amazing start to finish! She's was very reassuring and let me know every step of what she was doing and was very sweet. Made me feel very comfortable. She's been In the business for a long time. Pierced my girlfriends hips years ago and remembered how nice she was then. Highly recommend her if you want an experienced piercer you can trust! read more

I went there to have a piercing changed.. I waited about 10ish minutes until someone helped me and told me to put my name on the board. I waited another 20ish minutes before leaving; during that time two girls wrote their names down after me. I left and was called 15ish minutes after leaving. When I got inside the two girls who wrote their names down after me were being helped and pierced before me.. I waited almost 2 hours in total for a piercing change which I am not happy with because the Diamond is too big for my nose and voiced that while there-- $50 later.. read more

Walked in to an ornate space that made me feel welcome, & excited for a prospective tattoo. The staff is not only friendly, & polite, but each artist has specialities for whatever you may be looking for. There are books to review their work. Pricing was very fair, I would, & have recommended this establishment. read more

Honestly I was very excited to get both of my tragus pierced and I got IMMEDIATELY rejected with a "Nope I don't do that because people mess it up" .... I proceeded to get one side done and wanted a hoop... She said NO to that also because she "doesn't pierce with hoops" ... But she wasn't done with her rules even after that !! She the told me that my girlfriend couldn't sit down in the room for my 30 second piercing.. meanwhile there was a seat RIGHT NEXT TO THE PIERCING CHAIR. All in all , I'll definitely find another spot for the 2nd one... read more

I got a tattoo by DIANNA TAUNTON at CLIFF'S TATTOO in Centereach, NY. The tattoo is supposed to read "Fun Trouble" in my best friend's handwriting (as it was supposed to be a tribute to her), and Dianna spelled the word completely wrong (I posted a picture as well if you click view pictures you can see it). Dianna started the "b" before the "u" and then tried to cover it up. The worst part? She didn't even tell me!! She rushed to put the bandage on so I didn't notice until I got home. I went back and spoke to Dianna and 3 other artists and was told to either pick at it or get it lasered off. No compensation was offered and no apology was given!!! I plan to get it covered and completely redone by a different artist at a different shop. I plan to go to Bart Andrews at Unify Tattoo in St. Augustine, Florida; he's phenomenal. I've gotten piercings at Cliff's before and they came out great, but for tattoos I definitely DO NOT recommend. I am extremely disappointed at the unprofessionalism and disregard for what happened to me. read more

Cliff's Tattoo - Done by DIANNA TAUNTON at CLIFF'S TATTOO. The word is spelled completely wrong. - Tattoo Near Me - Centereach, New York

I've gotten a few of my piercings here. Because of covid, they had to have some people wait outside. I felt very discriminated when they told me I was next, but had like 3 people in front of me go ahead, when I was waiting outside in the rain for over an hour. Not only that, but they left me outside while they found seating for everyone AFTER me. Even when I went inside, they had people sit on the window sill. Really? You couldn't have me sit there? Such a rude environment. Do not go here. read more

This was my first tattoo and the place was recommended to me by my fiancé since she got both of her tattoos done there. This was my first tattoo so I was pretty nervous but had an idea in mind and made an appointment with Eddie. I walked in and he already had something drawn up and showed me. It looked good but wasn't exactly what I wanted. He got to updating the design and I sat down in the waiting area. In the meantime a young woman walk-in came in for her first tattoo and Anthony talked to her about it and gave it to her straight that he wasn't the guy for the job and explained why and who would be better which I thought was really cool. He gave it her straight. No BS which is a nice change. After a short while Eddie came back with my design only for me to like the original one better. He didn't give me a hard time even though I basically made him draw up a new design for nothing. Eddie was great! (instagram: @tattooeddie) Very easy-going and even stopped a couple times to give me a break and bought me cookies out of the vending machine. Highly recommend this place and Eddie. Even though I'm probably not getting another tattoo, if I did I would go back to Cliffs in a heartbeat. Thank you Eddie for making my first experience awesome! read more

Beyond happy with my tattoo! I used Mike he was very professional, great at communicating, a perfectionist, and overall just a cool Dude which is everything I coulda asked! You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about his work definitely recommend checking him out if you are thinking about going there for a tattoo! read more

Took my sister for her first ink here.. first experience with Jesse was top notch, talented and honest guy with 5 star service. A few months later she came back and got a second tattoo with Eddie .. she stopped by a few weeks later asking for a touch up, and whatever dirtbag receptionist they had working there told her to apply Curel and come back in two weeks since her skin was "tight." Two weeks later confident 18 year old sister walks into Cliffs solo and the same lame who told her to come back two weeks earlier curses her out, denies the touch up, and tells her that her tattoo "is already fucking black." Now, I understand that some shops dont want to deal with young kids who arent tatted but she sits JUST fine. Needless to say a paying customer is still a customer and I can guarantee you this chump wouldnt have had the balls to speak that way had she not walked in alone. Real nice to take advantage of a client who would have come back to start a sleeve. Bunch of trashy punks at this place. Next time ill take her to a PROFESSIONAL shop like King's Ave. read more

Waited about 2 hours to get called in just to BUY jewelry. Nothing else no piercings, had only one person infront of me.

Piercer Blue was beyond amazing. So gentle. Very clean shop. Will go back again. Great experience.

I got my first piercing at the age of 14 (with my fathers notarized permission) 12 years ago and I always come back. They're professional and fun environment always makes me feel welcome. I've gotten several tattoos done by heather and although I have some other ink, I consider her my go-to artist. I've never been ripped off and I can genuinely say I love all of my tattoos that I've gotten at cliffs. Will be a return customer for life. read more

I wanted to get a simple ear piercing and, not sure where to go, I figured a place that probably does piercings all day was a good place to start. I had a little stud put in by Amanda, who was super sweet, and the piercing was painless. I could not have been more happy with how I was treated, and how quick and painless it was, and how comfortable Amanda made me feel during the process read more

I scheduled an appointment with Kim for a couple tattoos, and they couldn't have come out better!! Super amazing work, very impressive art. And she's super sweet and flexible!

I had gotten my first tattoo, which was a walk in, done here, and it went great. So I did the same for my second tattoo, which was another simple design. Everyone in this shop is extremely kind. The stencil for my tattoo looked great and I was so excited. However, the line work and the shape of tattoo was completely butchered. I didn't realize how bad it was until later, when my adrenaline was lower and all the blood was gone after I had taken my bandage off. read more

Okay, so my review has nothing to do with getting a tattoo here (I don't have any) as this is just about getting my nose pierced here last week. I came in because I wanted to get mine redone after being unhappy with how it was pierced down the street at Tattoo Lou's. It was pierced way too low and the piercer refused to re-pierce it any higher. Caitlynn pierced my nose at Cliff's and she was amazing. She was so nice and understood what I wanted and where I wanted the piercing to be. It was very quick and barely hurt, I know the next time I get pierced it will be done by her. read more

I was in the area and wanted to get a small tattoo, I figured this would be a good spot since they do walk-ins. I was told there would be an hour wait. After waiting three hours, I asked once again how long the wait would be and he said "about an hour". A walk-in shouldn't take over three hours, especially for a tattoo that's the size of a nickel. The management was TERRIBLE!! While waiting soooo long with three other customers, we watched the workers fuck around in the back, not taking their job seriously. If you plan on getting a tattoo, don't go here unless you wanna wait for hours!!! There are plenty of other tattoo shops who know how to run their business and treat their customers with respect. I highly recommend Natives with Ink (Southampton)!!! read more

This place is horrible.... the fact that I asked about a simple finger tattoo and was told to wait to be called by the artist to ask him/her. I accepted it but after a 2 hour wait once it was my turn the artist charges $100 store minimum and says the artist don't do finger tattoos there. It's funny as the answering machine when you first call clearly states THEY HAVE NO STORE MINIMUM!!!! So wtf was that... super horrible service read some bad reviews but decided to give it a shot considering the good reviews. The artist said the receptionist I spoke to should've told me that which SHE OBVIOUSLY DIDNT! Wouldn't recommend unless you want to wait for horrible services. read more

Worst tattoo/piercing shop on Long Island. I've had piercings for over 20 years, and had them removed due to surgery last year. I went to Cliff's to get new jewelry put in, and they all gradually fell out for no specific reason. My piercings were in so tight before my surgery, that I had to go in to have them removed by somebody else. The jewelry that fell out and was lost added up to several hundred dollars. When I called and explain to them what happened, They said since I didn't come in within two weeks they could do nothing for me and couldn't tell me why the piercings fell out. The girl on the phone actually told me that it may have been some thing I did. So I called Utopia and they actually knew why my piercings fill out. They were very knowledgeable, you should go to utopia instead of Cliff's. And I highly recommend Lotus Tattoo in Sayville for all your tattoos. I had both tattoos from cliffs that I got years ago covered by a great artist at Lotus. I have several friends who got bad tattoos at cliffs that had to be fixed or covered. The quality artist and piercers that used to work here many years ago are gone. Do not ever go here. This app wouldn't let me leave a review without giving at least one star but they deserve negative stars. And no I'm not someone that usually goes out of my way to leave bad reviews I actually feel like people that do that don't have anything better to do. But this review was necessary these people are not good at their job read more

I stopped in last night for a walk in piercing and was helped by Sammie. I can not say enough good things about her and this shop. She was kind, helpful, and very thorough. She created a calm and comfortable environment in which I was fully informed of what was going on at all times and I was in control. She was an absolute pleasure to be around. The shop uses high quality jewelry and was reasonably priced. My family has done business at this shop for years and I don't think we'll stop anytime soon. read more

I have had positive experiences here in the past. It's very clean. However, today I had a less than excellent experience. Came in for a tattoo as a walk in. Discussed design and price with someone who was very helpful. I was told there was a wait and to come back in an hour, and that I would be the first to be seen once more artists arrived. I was also told that appointments were not taken for the size tattoo that I was looking for. I returned a little less than an hour later. I had to wait for paperwork to be given for me to fill out. I waited about 20 minutes to meet with the artist who would be seeing me. I met the artist and he make a remark about the tattoo I wanted based on the picture I showed him. He told me to have a seat and he would draw something up for me. After another 25 minutes, I saw the artist go out for a cigarette break. It wasn't until he was on his way back in from his break that he told me that what I showed him was not his style and he was afraid it wouldn't come out as I imagined. I of course appreciated his honesty, however I felt that things could have been organized differently. I had been there 2 hours before to show the idea and get pricing. I was promised to be the first seen and was given a time slot, waiting for more artists to arrive. I just felt that if I showed a "realism" piece, why was I set up with a "traditional" style artist? All in all I wasted close to 2 and a half hours waiting and I came out with no tattoo. By the time I left, it was 45 minutes after I was told to return. It was disappointing, and again wished that things could have been organized a little differently and the customer service could have been a lot better. read more
