Will be coming back for sure! Had the best experience and the vibes were immaculate. My partner and I came in for the pride flash day and both got amazing tattoos and had the best time! read more

I love her art so much that I knew I'd be happy with anything that came out. Needless to say I LOVE my piece! Highly recommend! Thank you JES! read more

Jessica Valentine and her partner Cameron are legit nice and authentic people- you get what you get (see what I did there lol). I can tell this, not by how they treated me (which was with huge smiles and open hearts), but in how they treat each other- there is genuine mutual love and respect with the way the talk with each other and not at each other. I think this is why the vibe of the shop is welcoming and warm. The shop is cute AF. It's pink and girlie (for me) and as a tomboy, I absolutely loved every square inch of it. There's water and snacks and moon time supplies oh my. There are different tarot decks to keep yourself occupied if you are waiting. I had two separate appointments scheduled- one for a micro on 4/15 and one for a "Get What You Get" in January 2023 (she's a busy bee). She had a cancellation for a GWYG time slot and I said hell yeah. She was gracious to do both of my tats in one appointment so I didn't have to make an extra trip which was helpful for me. SPOILER ALERT- getting a tattoo hurts. I have a high tolerance for pain so I was fine, but she checked in on me throughout the process to ensure I was comfortable and asked me if I needed a break. Overall, I give Haven and Jes and Cameron 10 10 10's across the board. I will definitely be back for another GWYG, but also there are some originals I would like as well. I have close to 20 tattoos all done by different tattooers because I had yet to find someone I want consistent work by. Enter Jessica Valentine and Haven Studio. I have found my person. I am humbled and honored to know you both. Thank you Thank you Thank you! read more

I absolutely love this place! It's so cute and welcoming. Angelique has become my go to tattoo artist, she's so nice and very good at her job. :) read more

Jes did my first tattoo at Nice Tattoo. She was so nice and genuinely cared about my experience. When I wanted to get my second tattoo I found out Jes had left Nice Tattoo. Because Jes was so amazing and her line work is beautiful I found her at her own private studio Haven. Jes has now done 3/5 of my tattoos and every time it is an amazing experience. The studio is such a vibe and so comfortable unlike many tattoo studios across the city. I highly recommend Haven as it is one. read more

Haven is a beautiful, welcoming, safe space to get tattooed and Jes is absolutely amazing! I went for my very first tattoo and she answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. I had such a great experience I went back for two more tattoos and have another one planned later this year. Every design she's done for me has been above and beyond what I imagined. I can't recommend Haven highly enough. read more

I've truly never had a better experience at a tattoo salon that I had at Haven Studio. The second I walked through the door, the energy was so calm and welcoming. Jes was so kind and did everything to make me feel comfortable and feel at home. Her design was a million times better than what I ever would have thought of, and I could tell she was really passionate about the subject matter-- in fact, we talked about it quite a bit :) Getting the tattoo itself was quick and painless with incredible results-- easily one of my favorite pieces on my body. I couldn't recommend this place enough and have told all my friends that if they're looking to get their next piece, to head to Haven Studio. I will 100% be returning for more pieces! 11/10 read more

This is the best tattoo experience I've ever had. A safe space to get a tattoo. I recommend this place to everyone I know. All of the artists do incredible work and are so experienced. Highly highly highly recommend. read more

Me and my friend got tattoos here and honestly it is one of the best tattoos on my body. It healed very well and her work was very neat. I don't wanna say she's pricey because the work she does stands up to her prices! All imma say is have money coming here, you feel so comfortable, and great conversation! read more

My absolute favorite tattoo shop of all time, if you're looking for an artist in the city that does amazing color definitely come here. I've been back now for 4 pieces and I plan to keep coming back as long as I'm still getting tattooed! Jess is an absolutely lovely artist, her custom work is always spot on and she works with you on every step of the tattoo from design to color and placement and she is fun and easy to talk to, and so is Cameron! Definitely the best shop I've been to and the most welcoming energy you could have in a shop, especially for women and LGBTQ customers! read more

Love this studio! Was referred to Jess by my friend and am so happy with the two pieces she's done on me. Both pieces were very important to me and there's nothing I don't like about them. The studio is super cute, very cozy and welcoming. Can't wait to go back in the future! read more

Overall: an amazing tattoo studio!! I was tattooed by Jess and had the honor of chatting with both her and Cameron. They are two of the most lovely people I have ever met, and they put me so at ease! The studio is cute, cozy, and comfortable, and very inviting. They have anything you could want or need to feel your best. The COVID-19 precautions are great and as a immunocompromised person I felt very comfortable, while everything still felt reasonable as well. I absolutely loved my tattoo, Jess has such a light hand and I ended up with a beautiful tattoo that was intricate and detailed despite being quick and painless. It's been several months and my tattoo is still in great shape. Jess is so talented at making ideas and words come to life in a stencil and on the body! My tattoo came out even better than I could have imagined. I have two additional appointments scheduled because I was so impressed by Haven. read more

Jes and Cameron are two incredible persons I have had the honor to meet. My first tatt was with Jess and it gave me so much confidence in myself, not only was the whole experience amazing and quick, I felt so comfortable with Jes. As a big introverted female, just going in to a tattoo parlor was a big deal in general for me. Haven is so comfortable, the style is what we all know your dreams wished it looked like and hello Jes is wildly talented. read more

I'd been wanting to get a tattoo done by Jess for legit years and finally booked to come in! I traveled over an hour to her studio and it was 100% worth it! I've gotten tattoos in several other shops and have never felt as comfortable as I did in her studio. Jess & Cameron were super nice, the environment was welcoming and fun, & it was just a dope experience. I didn't feel pressure into making any decision regarding my tattoo & absolutely love how it came oht. Immediately booked again for the next available in 2023 & can't wait! read more

I recently got my second tattoo with Jes at Haven. I 1000% recommend booking with her. I felt appreciated and respected the entire time, even when my appointment went a little longer than anticipated. Jes treated this tattoo newbie with the utmost care; she works with a gentle hand so it didn't even hurt too much. The healing process was a breeze. Plus, the shop is super cute! Book with them today, you will not regret it! read more

So I booked an appointment with Jes last month. I stopped drinking a year ago and Jes and Kate's podcast, the Seltzer Squad Podcast, really helped me out. So my wife and I decided that if I made it a year we would take a trip from CA to NYC to get a small piece from Jes to commemorate the accomplishment. Two weeks before we were going to fly out, Jes sent me an email canceling my appointment and said she was going to be out of town, but she would reach back out when she knew her availability. Needless to say, I was disappointed but it is what it is. I mentioned we would only be in town for two days and if there was any chance we could do it the day before, that would still work because of our travel schedule. I never heard back and she ghosted me. A few days later I went on social media and found that she had blocked me. Now, I don't know Jes and never had a chance to speak with her, but this felt very personal and extremely unprofessional. I ended up finding a spot across the bridge in Greenwich Village that did a great job and I got my tattoo after all. I wish Jes would have been more professional, it also really turned me off of listening to their show. It was such a big help to me and she ended up not being the person I thought she was. I guess it's true when they say, never meet your idols. read more

By far on of the best tattoo experiences I have had. The people, the space, the art, the ambiance, everything is 10/10. Although the artist that tattooed me has moved to a different studio, I 100% want to go back and get a tattoo from Jes. read more

The absolute BEST tattoo studio out there! Everything about Haven feels like the room of my ultimate teenage dreams, and Jes is such a wonderful, talented artist whose style embodies everything I could ever want in a tattoo. She puts so much love and detail into every single piece she creates, and makes me feel so comfortable during the process---whether she's checking to see how everything is feeling, or we're talking with Cam and Vanessa (who, on my last visit, made me want one of her gorgeous ear tattoos) about reality TV. I loved the first tattoo she did on my arm so much, that I was back a month later to get a new design I had been wanting, and I've already recommended her to so many of my friends who are into her style. Haven is truly the Lisa Frank unicorn with a heart of holographic gold among all the New York tattoo studios I've been to, and I'm just so happy this space exists. read more

Best tattoo artist! Jes was super flexible, open and supportive for my first tattoo. It was on my upper back, so I sat in the chair leaning forward. It wasn't painful, exactly, but it's a tattoo. I started to feel light headed and alerted her right away and she stopped and knew exactly what to do! I was super embarrassed and Jes, and her staff, were amazing. They let me know that this is actually common, gave me some juice, a washcloth, etc. They just took over! I just needed a break. I did actually pass out, but since I was already in the chair, they just stabilized me a little more and I was fine. Once ready, we moved to the table so I could lie down and we started again and it was totally fine! I'm still kinda mortified that it happened, but they weren't concerned at all. I knew she had an appt. after, but it wasn't an issue at all. And if you haven't gotten a tattoo before, don't let this scare you off. I didn't pass out b/c it was so painful, but b/c I was a little more tense than usual and just not prepared. I did eat a proper breakfast and was hydrated, but that helped. Next time, I'll def see Jes again and she will know and I'll just use the table. And I LOVE my tattoo! read more

Haven, and Jess, are incredible. The space is welcoming and fun, Jess is beyond talented and accommodating, and I walked away with a really gorgeous piece that I get compliments on all the time. Jess was warm and friendly, and it really felt like she took everybody's health and happiness into her highest consideration, especially in this wild time. I can't imagine going anywhere else for my next. read more
