    Friendly and clean. My first time getting tatted and I was intimidated. She made me feel at Ease and calm. My husband and I had matching tattoos. Price is on the higher end.

    When you first walk into the store, it is very clean and intimate. Per COVID-19 guidelines they take your temperature and give you hand sanitizer. I have come to Shane at Crush Ink for over 2 years now and she has done my lobe piercings and cartilage with very clear after care directions. All have healed extremely nice. But I also have done my own research and gotten pierced before. They also have signs everywhere you can read. She has done my neck tattoo, my grandmother's handwriting and a flash sale now. All the employees are super friendly and helps you design your tattoos exactly the way you want it. They take your time and make sure it's what you love. I've recommended this place to all my friends!!

    Shane is a fabulous tattoo artist. So professional and talented. The prices are so reasonable given her immense talent. I highly recommend crush!! Both my son and I loved Shane's work.

    They were very nice! They were very understanding and easy going! They were very informative and answered our questions with such ease. This was my first ever tattoo and the artist I had made sure I was doing good the entire time! I would definitely come back for other tattoos I love their work!

    I have been wanting to get tattoos for so long and I was finally able to find someone I trust to do it. Shane is an amazing artist. Kwon is behind the counter and he explained everything to me and helped me with my final decision on my tattoo font and sizing. Once I met Shane I felt comfortable and knew I was in good hands. It was super hot and the first thing Shane does is turn up the AC and got me a bottle of cold water. Shane checked on me during the whole process of my three tattoos. Asked if I was okay, how was the pain, am I dizzy, do I need a snack and so on. Shane and Kwon are just two really cool down to earth people!!! Can't wait for my next tat.

    Came back for a more intricate piece after having such a great experience my first time around, and again, loved everything about my visit! Everyone at the shop is very friendly and easy to talk to. They answered every question and helped me settle some last minute details to make sure the design looked it's best. I was very happy to work with Shane again. She got every detail perfectly and her suggestions really elevated the design. The hours went by surprisingly quick and throughout she kept checking up to make sure I was doing ok. Really can't say enough great things about them. Will be back (hopefully) soon !

    Came here a couple weeks ago for a consultation on getting a cover up. The two girls were very helpful with suggestions on the placement of the new tattoo I had chosen. After discussing it for about 30 minutes I knew Shane was the person for the job. My boyfriend put a deposit down and the following Sunday we had the appointment. The day of the appointment I was shown the sketch on the ipad of tattoo and we were able to go over it and tweak a few things. It came oit beautiful. Shane drew it up and put the stencil on my back. The whole tattooing process from beginning to end took almost 3 hours. I was very happy with the end result and I'm already thinking of my next tattoo.

    Got my tat done today. Had one done some years ago and wanted to make sure this one was done right. Making an appointment was real easy. The store is clean and inviting. Heejung is so freaking sweet and her skills are on point! It's so neat and clean and she made me feel so comfortable. I knew what I wanted and asked her to put her touch on it. She did an awesome job.

    Walked in for a piercing today (Sunday) with my friend. Heejung and Shane were really welcoming as soon as we walked in and got us both set up. The piercing was super fast and she made sure to mark the area and had be confirm that it looked good to me. Shane made sure to clean the jewelry and show us both the new needle package. Since it wasnt too busy I asked about getting a tattoo consultation and luckily for me Shane had enough time to do my tattoo day of! She made sure I was comfortable and didn't feel rushed at all and took the time to was very detailed with the design and placement. I'm so happy with the finished result and will definitely be back for future piercings and or tattoos! The vibe of the shop is really nice and chill and everybody was very professional but personable. Luckily we had time to talk with both of them for a while afterward and you can tell that they're both very passionate and invested in what they do. Would highly recommend!!

    Stacked Lobe Piercing (by Shane)
    Helena P.

    Called last night (Sat) to set up an appointment for piercings for my friend and me for today. My friend got a cartilage (and a tattoo) and I got one regular lobe piercing and a stacked piercing on the other lobe. I really liked the vibe of the place. Shane and Heejung were very welcoming and friendly. We were lucky that we got to chat with them since they're really chill. They also seem to be very flexible, which is great. More details: we got our piercings done by needle, by Shane. She doubles checks the placement of the (marker) dots before piercing. I also get the sense that she takes the extra step to make sure she's got it right for her own more experienced eyes, even though it was (only) piercings. She made sure to show us the needle was new. The procedure was quick and the pain is as expected. She also shared aftercare instructions. All in all, I had a good experience here. The vibe was good. The people are good. Will come back here when I can afford to touch up my 4-year-old tattoo.

    Just went yesterday, Rob and I are beyond happy with our tattoos! It was both of our second ones, and after many recommendations from friends who've also gone to Crush Ink, I sent them an email for consultation. Although the email took a couple days for a response, after calling them they explained that they review their emails once a week so it was understandable (don't email on Sundays if you're looking for fast reply btw lol). I do prefer in person consultations to solidify stencils, but due to covid precautions, Crush Ink did a great job of doing that over email and making sure of it in person on the day of appointment. Pricings were discussed over email as well and expected as such when that tattoos were completed. Upon arrival, all covid precautions were taken (handsanitizer, temperatures and contact information taken, masks required) and we were asked to sign consent forms since it was our first visit there (it surely won't be my last, though!). It's a cozy place, with an awesome playlist to zone out to, super sanitary and clean, and full of good vibes. It was my first time getting a not-so-small piece and on my ribs...but Shane was so amazing about: 1) working with me to figure out exactly what I want, 2) instructing me of what she's going to do and what I can do to help make this piece easier and less painful, 3) making me feel so comfortable, and 4) of course, doing a perfect job executing. She made sure to explain aftercare, and there's a poster listing the instructions too for you to take a quick picture of. I really am so glad to have met Shane (someone who has 15 years of experience in tattooing btw!) and I cannot wait to be back for the rest of my tattoos I have in mind!

    Amazing line work !!

    I walked into Crush about a year ago looking to get my very first tattoo, and at that time I was not too sure about it. I ended up getting cold feet and decided to not go through with it despite having the design and deposit down. Months later (just shy of a year) I reached back out and to my surprise they still remembered me! They were very kind and allowed me to use my original deposit towards my tattoo, which was completely different from my original idea. This story just goes to show how friendly and personable the artists at CrushInk are. Both my experiences were great - the entire shop is extremely clean and their work was fantastic. They walked me through every step of the process and made sure I was always comfortable along the way. I would 100% recommend getting your tattoo here. Can't wait to go back for the next one!

    See all

    My original plan was to try and find an Asian to do the tattoo that I had wanted. I wanted a Cherry…read moreBlossom tattoo but, I wanted someone who was really familiar with the tree itself and understood the actual beauty of it. The cherry blossom has meaning to most Asians so it was my plan to find one. After trying to find a Asian tattoo parlor and coming up with zero in the queens area I had to move on from my dreams. Lol... I did find it to be weird that I couldn't find one Asian tattoo parlor in all of Queens where there is the biggest Asian population. Someone really needs to look into that. Or is there like some sort of secret society I'm not aware of?! Anyway, I was driving along Francis Lewis Blvd. and noticed this place "Murder Ink" and decided to stop in and make an appointment. As I walked in, I noticed there were 2 Asian Tattoo artist!!!! It was Destiny!!!! After asking to see the guys work and being extremely impressed with his details and how precise he was with his outlining I proceeded to make an appointment. When I got there I showed him a picture of the cherry blossom design I wanted... I also wanted him to put his own flair and colors into it. He looked at the picture once and free handed the design on my shoulder. Wow, was all i could say, he was goooooodddd. Really good! After 2.5 hours of pain we were done and he did an awesome job!!!! The lines are straight and not shaky. The coloring is beautiful and the size is just right. Its my favorite tattoo yet. Yay, to Eddie! He did an awesome job!!!!
