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

I mentioned it to Trent and he said that its because of the hair on my calf and has nothing to do with the needle he used. I went to another tattoo artist (Morris County NJ) who stated that it looks like its faded because he did not use the proper needle. I mentioned this to Trent who was extremely unprofessional and would not listen to what the other artist had to say.

All my sessions felt like I was just hanging out with a friend, laughing and chatting.   The result of my half sleeve was breathtaking!!  He even gave me a fun aftercare kit.  It has a special salve that goes on so smooth and perfect for those initial painful healing days.  A bunch of cool stickers, and samples of Aquaphor and alcohol wipes, which are perfect on the go or in a pinch.  One of my faves is the pen in the kit.  I'm just a dork for promotional pens, but this one was really nice and had a purpose.  The back of the package has a fun checklist to go through.  Some of which include a newsletter to sign up for, money towards your next tattoo if you leave a great review, and much more.  All in all, Pure Ink is amazing.  The staff is always friendly and the facility is always clean.  I will definitely be returning and have already started planning my next tattoo with Danny.  He is AMAZING and worth every penny.  Don't do what I did and cheap out on a tattoo.  I had to get 2 cover-ups and it was still hideous, but then Danny fixed it for me and you would never know it was a cover-up.   It just looks like beautiful art. Thank you to Pure Ink and especially Danny Rosini for such a great experience!!!!
