    Best tattoo and customer service experience ever!! This shop is so cute, clean and comfortable! The guys working on Wednesday when my friends and I went it were very attentive, accommodating and kind!! Wish this was my neighborhood tattoo shop s/o Joel thanks again

    Just got a calf tattoo done by Tessa of the Virgin Mary on my calf, she is the sweetest and her work is AMAZING, 100% recommend, I definitely plan on returning in the future :)

    My daughter and I wanted to get a tattoo before we left New York and we saw this place so we decided to stop by with no appointment. Everyone was super nice and welcoming! Emilio is probably one of the most talented guys out there. He made our vision come to life and we couldn't be happier. I definitely recommend this place honestly 10 out off 10!

    The staff is so friendly, it's a clean and safe environment, and has such a fun atmosphere. I've never had a better experience with a tattoo shop. I'll definitely be returning!

    I hate to give Fun City this review but.. TESSA for whatever reason DID NOT do me a good service. She didn't take her time planning a cover up and instead wanted to smoke cigs and then lazily drew something that didn't cover the area properly and did a bat over some stars that has very poor flow. The lines inside the wings don't even meet up. The 2nd tattoo was a rune she did on my wrist and the ink isn't even evenly distributed. Not sure what happened but I'm doing laser removal on these stars bc she didn't meet the task:((

    Look at the detail and the subtle coloring! This was right after and my skin tends to red, but there was no stinging even then.

    Joel Baca is an artist! I am so pleased with the result and can hardly stop looking at it even though it's on my back. Very gentle touch as well, and thoroughly professional. I cannot give a high enough rating!

    First one with Preston for my Fiancee.

    Ok. I literally MADE a Yelp account just to write this review of Fun City Tattoo. I am constantly admiring tattoo artwork on social media and it led me to an instagram account: @ukiyo__nyc . & that is how I was introduced to Preston's work. After some time, my fiancee and I reached out to Preston and planned to get work done in January. The experience at Fun City was so incredible. Our very first visit felt like our 100th, in the best way possible. Starting with Genna. Genna was so polite and accommodating even while the shop was packed with walk-ins. She recommended places to eat while we waited our turn and even some spots after we were done. Preston was super welcoming and guided us on polishing the final touches of our tattoo ideas. Once we got started, the other artists seamlessly became our friends. Those guys were Ryan and Joel. It was a laughing-fest with everyone there. We were the last customers of the day and it felt like a chill session with a bunch of buddies. Our tattoos felt like a breeze because the conversation was so FUN. It had that barbershop type of vibe. The experience was so great and the tattoos were so PERFECT that we went back a month later with more ideas for Preston. Once again, our experience was great. Preston even gave us one of the shirts he's made as a gift. Our friends Genna and Ryan were working that night as well. So, of course, it was an absolute GREAT time at the shop again. Full of laughs and trading songs while the shop was empty. My fiancee and I LOVE Fun City and she even plans on getting work done with Joel in the future. A clear 5/5 star shop. Win! Win Win Win Win! F**k everything else!!

    I set up an appointment with Preston, who was very accommodating when I ended up having to push back my appointment. When I got there, everyone was extremely welcoming and made me feel comfortable. Preston talked with me as if we were friends for a long time, and made me feel calm compared to how I felt going into the tattoo. He took some awesome pictures, and I can confidently say I want to go back to Fun City for my next tattoo!

    Dear Big Steve, Manhattan's greatest LIVING artist & my dear friend... Every new tattoo you have blessed me with; is the BEST tattoo of my life!!! You 100% blow my mind over & over & over again, BUT my brother, you outdid yourself this time!!! "Snoopy God's Trumpet" you put on my abs yesterday is so beautiful, so perfect... I want to scream from the mountaintops of Manhattan "I'M KING OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!" I LOVE YOU The original art is SH*T compared to your interpretation. AND you did this in under 1.5 hours; including my 2 cigarette breaks. (I'm 51, not as tuff as I used to be; it hurt! Ha!) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Perchance you are reading this review and somehow do not know BIG STEVE, or his WORLDWIDE Rock-Star reputation... A word of advice: IF you are ever in Manhattan & go anywhere else for your MASTERPIECE you are truly insane in the membrane; Insane in the brain. I swear to God, You Sir are T H E S I N G U L A R Best tattoo artist on the planet - bar none. Bless you & your entire beautiful family. ps. 1100 likes & 69 OMG / "Best tattoo in recorded history!" type comments on Instagram in less than 2 hours. Holy Toledo!! Included a pic of the Mickey Mouse you did a few months ago on my elbow...

    $210 for THIS!!! I got robbed with no gun...
    Stan B.

    Over charged me for sloppy work that took less than 20 minutes..first he quoted me $200.00 and then after it was done he charged me $210.00 and then got an attitude because I didn't want to leave a big tip!!! These people are thieves man!!!

    Came all the way from texas to get this piece done by Preston . He's a really talented artist and huge fan of the series as well. I love the way it came out and how he was able to capture kentaro miura's art from the manga and tattoo it. Nothing but respect for Preston great guy, very talented , and extremely friendly.

    Chrysler Building tattoo, done by Mina Aoki.
    Jacques B.

    On my last day in NYC, I wanted to get a tattoo that symbolize my love for the city. I came to Fun City a sunday at 12 AM and told Mina about my idea. I shown her a picture of a traditional style Empire State Building tattoo, saying I wanted the Chrysler Building instead. Mina gave me an appointment at 3PM the same day. Mina did an AMAZING work, and everyone is very friendly in the shop. The shop is also super clean. Paid $150 for my tattoo. They accept cash only but there's many ATM in the street as well as a Chase bank on 2nd Avenue.

    What's the minimum?

    I'm pretty sure it's a $100 minimum which is standard for most tattoo shops in the area.

I really…read moreliked her art and when my friend showed me her versions of windchimes and norigae style tattoo, i was sold. 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!!

It's a permanent thing on your body so I would pay more ensure that it's done correctly anyway! The service here was amazing and everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and excited to work with you! 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!!
