Hi! Thanks for your response! I greatly appreciate it! Your employee Haley said the website didn't…read morestate any of what you just said and needed to be updated. She also stated she would inform you of this so you could fix it. I'm glad you finally updated your website so that future customers won't experience what my daughter did.  I'm never too busy or in a rush to read regarding my money and my daughter's safety. Anything that requires upfront payments or a deposit; I'm going to read so I know if I will be refunded in unforeseen situations like the one at your shop. Taking accountability for a mistake is much better than responding passive-aggressively, especially considering that you are the shop owner. Again, thanks for responding. Have an amazing day!

Made an appointment for the following day and Marcy handled my septum and answered a bunch of my followup questions. also explained exactly how the piercing works (finding the sweet spot) and how she'd perform it step-by-step.

After a major life upheaval (and quite a bit later in life than most) I decided I needed a first…read moretattoo to usher me into the next phase in my life. 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

I was extremely nervous but received the warmest welcome from the staff there. I didn't ask for an elaborate design as I only wanted a Paul McCartney quote for my first tattoo. Although I was nervous about getting my first tattoo, the artist was kind enough to keep me distracted with polite conversation and warm energy. For anyone looking to get a more elaborate tattoo, I would recommend doing your research but based on my experience I would recommend their services and I plan on getting my next one here or at the very least the next one after that.

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.

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!

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'm extremely upset with the piercing side of this shop. I asked a person there with help opening…read moreup my 8 gauge septum ring, and the first thing i noticed was the look of uncertainty. 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.

I got a tattoo by Shamil which was around 2 inches and simple line work and it was not the best. We…read morehad discussed and printed out exactly what the tattoo would be before hand. It's basically a hand snapping with little stars and planets around it. The problem is that the hand wasn't done as neatly as I would've liked it to be. The stars were not either, they are VERY simple stars. What left a bad taste in my mouth was after the tattoo was done I'd also realized he left some little but major details out. When I left the shop I observed my tattoo more and more until I realized and had to go back to tell him what he forgot. He apologized and added what was missing. As I started to leave the shop I realized he forgot to bandage me again, so I reminded him. Apologized again. Apologies are great and all but if you are in the profession of putting PERMANENT tattoos on peoples bodies you should be taking this WAY more seriously! Just my opinion! I will not go back. Also, if you are staff and look at a customer come into your shop.. SAY HELLO.
