My initial interactions with Shawn began when I was looking to get a cover up of an old tattoo…read morereworked and cleaned up. From the moment I introduced myself to him, he was warm, friendly, and welcoming. He immediately put me at ease with a well thought out plan on how to fix up and rework the piece. He took the time to listen to my thoughts and offered creative suggestions. Shawn was transparent from the beginning that he stands behind his work fully and will do whatever it takes to bring your vision to light. Beyond his integrity, the thing that stood out most to me was how incredibly passionate Shawn is about the reputation of his shop. How deeply he cares about the business that he has undoubtedly put his heart and soul into building. How meaningful it is to uphold his standing as an honest and reputable shop. Shawn not only cares about the craft of tattooing but he genuinely cares about every customer that he interacts with. It is a truly daunting endeavor to put your trust in a tattoo artist in the hopes that they will take your ideas and design and transplant them skillfully onto your skin for you to display permanently. It can easily go so wrong. However, I am so pleased that Shawn was able to make it right.

BEST TATTOO SHOP IN NEW JERSEY FOR SURE!!! My bf and I came in for him to look at some tattoos. He…read moretold one of the tattoo artist that he was looking to spend $100-$150 on a tattoo. The guy said to get an idea of what he wants. After, looking he found a few that he liked. But, wasn't in his price range. The man then said well we do have an apprentice here today you can take a look at her art and let us know. My boyfriend was thinking okay I'm assuming she charges around my price range. He asked how much it would be and the guy said it is free!!! My boyfriend was all in at this point. He had an amazing experience with Claire and left with a bad ass tattoo. He even went back a few weeks after that and got another one. The owner Shawn is amazing!! He's super nice. Even talked about the New Jersey devils while getting his tattoo done. Over all an amazing experience. The vibe is great everyone just talking and laughing. Every single one of the staff members are great as well. Unfortunately, Claire isn't doing free tattoos anymore. But, he's definitely thinking on spending some money to have her to tattoo him again. THANK YOU NORTH JERSEY. ALSO SHOUT OUT TO CLAIRE. Wanna check her art out? Her instagram is @ckconnellydraws

The tattoo took 3 hours, but it felt like a fraction of that because of how friendly Ana and the whole team were. They really treat everyone like family, and I was very uplifted by seeing the camaraderie among the team. I also appreciate how dedicated the shop is to supporting vulnerable members of the community through outreaches, developing partnerships with the community and other small businesses, and working to dismantle negative & harmful stereotypes around tattoos and piercings

I had previously let my earholes close because they were done unevenly. He noticed that. He corrected it, and it was painless and perfect. What an artist. He was considerate and kind. Thank you! The one negative is that you have to schedule an appointment online, and that was painful! No walk-ins~no phone appointments. It took me 20 minutes to finally get the software of schedulicity to accept all of my information.

DO NOT GET PIERCED HERE!!! They will lie to you about your anatomy and compatibility and then make…read moreyou sign a waiver stating that the piercer can never be held liable. I got my navel pierced here by Angelina, and she completely botched my piercing. She told me I had the perfect anatomy, and I very obviously didn't. She didn't even screw on the jewelry all the way because the bar was so small there wasn't room to fully put it on. She also told me it would be 4-6 months for healing, and then after the piercing was done and i was paying, she told me it would actually be 6-9 months. I had to take it out 6 days later because it was leaking pus and it hurt extremely bad. I'm including pictures as well, look at your own risk.

The service I had done was a lobe re-piercing and the pricing was very reasonable. I appreciated how attentive and caring Jasmine and Christy were with explaining the process to me. I 1000% recommended this location for anyone wanting a piercing done, I would imagine the process would be the same for their other services, including tattoos. I will be returning soon for a tattoo consultation that I am really excited for!

If you want a cool appointment with a chill and most importantly experienced piercer, I highly recommend Christy!

I mentioned this to Trent who was extremely unprofessional and would not listen to what the other artist had to say.
