Worst tattoo experience I've ever had…read more My best friend and I came here excited to get tattoos based on a reference photo we provided, and the final result looked nothing like what we asked for. Completely disappointing from the start. It only got worse from there. We reached out multiple times on Instagram to have the work fixed and were either ignored or left on read. When they did respond, it was always some excuse about why they hadn't gotten back to us. At one point, we were told to come in as a walk-in to fix the tattoos. We showed up as instructed, only to be turned away because the artist who did our tattoos wasn't there. Total waste of time. Later, they messaged asking for my phone number, saying "Evan" would contact me. He finally reached out almost three days later, but when I tried to actually schedule an appointment, I was ignored again. No follow-up, no accountability, nothing. The lack of professionalism, communication, and basic customer service is honestly shocking. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo here, don't. Save yourself the frustration, time, and money. Would not recommend to anyone.

After searching and searching I found this amazing Artist in Instagram mcballer I sent him a message and after an hour he responded back to me and answered all my questions, concerns and pricing he even told me that the piece that my son wanted was nice but he could do better which amazingly he did. He did a great job when I mean great is great work. We loved it. He also told me he was booked until February 2024 and that he was able to schedule an appoitment with a small security deposit. so we booked. honestly we recommend him 100% and recommend his work also. He is very straight forward and my son loved that he was also given him more ideas on the tattoo he wanted to get. Be prepare to be there all day because he takes his time and when he works on you is only with you. After the tattoo was done he sanitized it and then took pictures and a video. Then, he put second skin over it and gave me aftercare instructions and balm. I don't know how I was so lucky to come across his instagram but I am glad I did. My son is extremely happy with his tattoo and the details. Highly recommend.

Parking is plentiful and the store is spacious however there's a sign in front that says to make a line outside if the line is to the door, so i hesitantly opened the door. I see that the layout of the store is probably the reason for this sign, it is not laid out that well in my opinion because the registers are to the right of the store, the left of the store has items for sale and some scanners, I'm sure this causes quite a bit of congestion and it causes the store to look messy and haphazard. Probably it would be better for the registers to be straight back and the two walls on the right and left to instead have things hanging on and the scanning stuff at the front. Then the lines could go straight back. Anyways on this time I came there was no line and the staff assisted me quickly. I was in and out within 3 minutes probably. As another yelp review noted, the most important aspect is for staff to be knowledgeable and helpful which they are!

I worked with Chris on my personal project and discussed future ideas for a different project. They really do it all over there, from small paper projects to business cards to shirt printing and graphic design. The amount of products they can print on is huge!

I had a wonderful experience at Deadman Studios Tattoo! I brought my daughter in for a belly button piercing, and from the moment we walked in, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The shop was very clean, organized, and had a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Our piercer was also a tattoo artist and took the time to thoroughly explain everything. He carefully evaluated my daughter's anatomy to make sure a belly button piercing was appropriate for her and recommended the jewelry placement that would work best for her body. I really appreciated that he didn't rush the process and focused on making sure the piercing would heal properly and look its best. He also went over the aftercare instructions, healing expectations, and answered all of our questions, which made us both feel comfortable and confident. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and want them to have the best possible experience. While the parking lot is a little small, we were still able to find a spot without much trouble. Their tattoo portfolio looked incredibly clean and professional as well, and it was easy to see the quality of their work. This studio came highly recommended by several friends, and now I completely understand why. I would absolutely recommend Deadman Studios to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming place for piercings or tattoos! read more

I recently decided to check out Deadmans Studio Tattoo Shop after hearing so many positive reviews, and I can confidently say it lived up to the hype. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how clean and welcoming the place felt. The atmosphere was inviting, which put me at ease right away. Upon entering, I was greeted by Mario, who made a fantastic first impression. His professionalism was evident, and you could tell that he truly cares about his craft. With years of experience under his belt, he took the time to discuss my ideas and offered invaluable insight, making the consultation process smooth and easy. What really impressed me was the quality of work Mario delivered. He was attentive to detail and ensured that every aspect of the tattoo was just as I envisioned. The end result was nothing short of amazing, and I couldn't be happier with my new ink. We even discussed and planned my next visit while I was there, which speaks volumes about the overall experience. It's clear that Mario is not only skilled but also passionate about what he does, making it easy to trust him with future projects. If you're on the lookout for a top-notch tattoo experience, I highly recommend swinging by Deadmans Studio and asking for Mario. With his expertise and the studio's inviting atmosphere, you definitely won't be disappointed! read more

To be quite honest I came in completely just expecting to get something simple with an idea in mind. And most tattoo places either rush you or don't care or seem to not really care to give you input on designs especially when you ask them. When I came in this was the polar opposite of places I've been in. I became more than ecstatic to leave with not 1 but 2 tattoos that were well regarded to my exact wants !!! I got a tattoo artist known as Smurf and he was beyond wonderful !! Extremely professional, courteous, and amazing at his art !! He took my idea and modified it to this simple gem & also the second tattoo was a spur of the moment decision but completely great in every way !!! The entire environment at the shop was laid back and welcoming all the other tattoo artist were welcoming as well and it just seems like a place I'll come back to time again for more tats! Even if they have a line of people they assure you to be patient with them and they take each clients pieces with lots of consideration. Thanks again to Smurf and all the other great artist and staff at Deadman's. read more

In December 2022 I received my third tattoo at the studio, now the new location. My first two were done about ten years ago but that artist has since moved on. I was matched up this time with Aber, and I couldn't have been happier. He even helped me work through some of the pain as I'm old school. No numbing lotions for me! Seven hours later we were done and my Rising Phoenix is beautiful. I will be going back in March so he can touch it up and maybe add rubble on the bottom. I had a lot of swelling, and problems with the yellow ink. My skin isn't easy. Aber was very caring, personable, and extremely talented. I look forward to him working on me some more! Mr Sneeks has a wonderful studio with some very talented young people who work there. I would highly recommend them and I will be going back next time I need a tattoo. Jenean read more

Sneaks goes above & beyond with his skills and wisdom. He is articulant effective & dominating with his art. Sneaks ambition and drive for the love of tattooing delivers the best of his abilities. He is not heavy handed nor unsanitary utilizing new supplies with every client accommodating there every need. He offers his own personal clothing line, art, and tattoo supplies. Deadman Studio tattoo is a diverse studio with professional artists. The artis are friendly outgoing and ready for your every need.. The studio has a comforting and welcoming environment that allows u process your ideas while u review your artist porfolio. I highly recommend this studio for those that are in search for an artist.

I came on their flash day and I am astounded by the work. I expected to wait a while, (I was there a little before 11 and there was already a decent line) and I certainly did. I finally was seen by Robert at around 2, and he was incredibly friendly and made me feel very comfortable. He was also sociable and ended up getting another impromptu tattoo out of me. He free-handed a name on my wrist and not only was very quick, but was incredibly detailed and clean. It was my first tattoo on the wrist, but he was so quick I barely had time to feel it. He gave me my favorite tattoos and I couldn't be happier. I will be coming back for all future ink and I would encourage/recommend anyone who ever wanted some ink to see Robert. 12/10 for sure. (Side note: don't park in the barbershop's lot. They will definitely tow you.) read more

First of all, clean shop. Crew made me feel welcomed. Atmosphere overall, was an honest vibe feeling. No gimmicks and did not speak of money or cost right off the bat. My artist, Smurf, instead spoke about details and designs. I came in my with own drawings and we spoke about design flow, how it would look over time, and the particulars because of where I wanted the work done. I came back 3 days later for my appointment. Let me tell you, NO REGRETS. I highly recommend Smurf and this shop. Very honest and clean. The crew were funny and i had a great experience here. I will definitely comeback and I recommend this shop to all and everyone who want a tattoo done, either for looks, personal sentiment, or just because!! Good job Smurf and to OG Sneeks, my fellow New Yorker! God bless you guys. read more
