    I recently went back to this shop and I was as impressed as I was when first showed up. Both times I was a walk-in and I was seen (granted both tattoos I wanted were very simple). Chris was super nice and really quick too! I've only had these two tattoos done and both were done at this shop, I'd highly recommend it

    This is the finished result

    I had been wanting to get my first tattoo for a number of years and never pulled the trigger until yesterday... I booked a same day appointment because I was visiting from out of state and I wanted the tattoo done right away... I was incredibly lucky to be helped by Chris Alvar who took the time to listen to my request, sketch out exactly what I envisioned and did an amazing job at making sure I wasn't anxious on the chair since it was my first time and made me feel incredibly comfortable... thank you and I look forward to returning for more!

    Daredevil Tattoo has long been a place I've wanted to visit, and it was weird for my first time to occur during COVID. I've found flash tattoos and events to be a great way to get exposed to different artists and shops, and Daredevil always looked like an amazing place, especially when they posted the excitement around Friday the 13th. I was fortunate to take part in their Friday the 13th event this November - which as stated - was in the midst of a pandemic. They still carried on this tradition, but with a number of precautions to keep everyone safe. A very limited amount of people were allowed in, and everyone was masked up. I received a really fun reaper with a dagger from Noah. He was the sole artist for the flash tattoos and he was giving it his all. I'm really happy with how it came out and was impressed with the studio! I'll definitely be back and want to spend more time there to take in the historic/museum aspects of the space.

    I would like to share a pic of my tattoo I got at daredevil by an incredible talent artist, Lara Scotton, no words needed to explain my experience... just take a look at this masterpiece that Lara draw on my leg and tattooed. She was very kind and friendly to me, she gave to me great suggestions about the tattoo and made me feel like very comfortable. I deeply recommend Lara as an artist and daredevil as a studio in New York City for a tattoo. I can't wait for the next tattoo. Grazie Lara Al prossimo tatuaggio Francesco

    I've realized that this is now my regular hangout. All of the artists are top notch, extremely friendly and incredibly professional. I can't believe they take walk-ins, because the quality of work is so high! It's also a super fun environment to get a tattoo - not only is it an official tattoo museum, but you'll probably run into a celebrity or three. Can't recommend it enough!

    Dont love these lines honestly... but I'm over it now. Whatever...

    I'm really sorry to say that my visit to this shop was disappointing despite the good vibes and chill atmosphere. The reason of my disappointment is not the art but the artist's either level of knowledge or honesty. When I came in and met Diego the first thing I asked was: Do you do fine lines? **** Oh damn, this is an old review I never finished! I guess I am over it now but it is important to let the customer know if you aren't really experienced with fine lines.

    It was a cover up which I know takes more work from the artist and I have to say YOON did such an amazing job! From consultation days to the day of, the process was great. I got the first tattoo underneath it when I was 19 and 10 yrs later, I finally managed to get it fixed. I made sure not to peak at her work until it was completely done and as soon as we were finished and I glanced in the mirror, not to be too dramatic here but cried a little ya'll! I was overjoyed! Yoon also made sure to make me feel as comfortable as possible. 4 hours was long but the results beat the pain! Also the precautions they took during these times were impressive. The place felt extremely clean and the stations were spaced apart nicely. Only recommendation I have is the front desk person could have been a little more welcoming on the days I came (7/29, 8/28, 9/2), but overall I will be coming back.

    I found Diego as I was seeking an artist who had experience with Japanese-style tattoos. This was my first tattoo and Diego was friendly and patient with me from the first time I met him. He created a new design for me after listening to what I wanted and I'm 10 times happier than I thought I would be with it! With breaks, it took a little under 3 hours, which wasn't that long considering the amount of detail in the work. The rest of the staff who were around were also very friendly. I would highly suggest going to Daredevil especially if you're looking for your first tattoo!

    Daredevil is a clean, classic shop with a good atmosphere. If you're getting your first tattoo, you might be worried because sometimes old school shops can have a bit of an attitude, but I watched another guest there who was a walk-in for her first piece and everyone was friendly and considerate. Personally, this was my ninth piece but my first time at Daredevil, as I'm relatively new to the NYC area and previously got my work done in Boston. My artist, Pete, was a true gentleman and consummate professional! My tattoo came out beautifully because of his skill and that he was a pleasure to work with. The $200 rate per hour is to be expected for the quality of work you get. There is an ATM around the corner, but you're probably better off hitting up your own bank beforehand. Also, as a bonus, check out the tattoo history museum! A lot of awesome historical flash, old tattoo guns, photos and interviews that represent the vivid history of NYC tattooing. FYI, they don't do piercings there. Those reviews are 6+ years old.

    Train for war, pray for peace.

    I emailed Fun City Tattoo after I saw their sign that said walk-ins welcome. A day later I was contacted by Pete Chile from Dare Devil Tattoo about setting up an appointment with him. (The two shops are sister shops.) He had the pic of the tattoo I wanted from my email. I showed up a half hour early. Pete had a draft ready, I made some minor changes, and he went back and redrew it. After one redraw it was exactly what I wanted. We sat down and he got to work. Everyone there is a true professional. From the girl answering the phone to the apprentice to the artists. I was done in two hours. I've had work done by less expensive artists but Dare Devil is worth it. The worst part of my experience was the two female customers in the shop when I was there. It was a girl getting her first tattoo and her overbearing best friend grilling the artist about the entire process. It was really annoying but the tattoo artist was very accommodating and patient. I wanted to strangle them, though. But for me, it was a great experience. I'll be going back.

    My first time getting ink, so why not go to the best? My friend and I were referred to Daredevil Tattoo and they exceeded our expectations! Staff is friendly and addressed all of our concerns and questions. My friend got a small piece done by Pete and I had a larger piece done by a visiting artist from London. They take the time to listen and design something just for you and your needs. The shop is clean and has awesome historical tattoo designs decorating the place. Thanks for a great experience!

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!!

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!!
