If you are from out of town, you HAVE to come here! They are super welcoming and we had an especially good experience with Chino. He was super fun and created an awesome and comfortable environment. They are super clean and professional and gave me a tattoo for my birthday that I love. I will definitely be returning in the future!

just wanted to get a small tattoo, and love it so much! i have five and this is probably my best one. I recently moved to new york from new jersey, and this would've cost me 50 at home and cost me 80 here but that's to be expected of new york pricing. super cute and i def recommend this place!

I really loved this place. My sister and I were visiting New York and stumbled across this joint while on our travels. We wanted simple tiny tattoos that matched. They took us right away and were so friendly. My sisters was perfect on the spot, but due to its placement behind my ear, I didn't notice a tiny issue with mine until after we left. The stencil wiped off that there was just a tiny line missing from one of the stars. Not only did Brian fix it as soon as we came back. He made sure every part of my tiny tat was perfect and apologized profusely. The reality is shit happens, and with a tiny tattoo it's easy to over look some things. He was quick to solve our issue while maintaining professionalism and being so sweet. To be honest, it made all the. Difference on our once in a lifetime trip. I appreciate the integrity and commitment to excellence. Thanks to both the men in the build that did our tiny tats. You guys were quick, fun, and made sure we were happy!

Enjoyed my experience at this tattoo shop! Affordable. Professional. Clean. Our tattoo artist did a great job, we absolutely love the art...Mike even recommended a cool little bar down the street 1,2,3 Burger. We be back on our next NYC visit.

The top of the lightening bolt is crooked and the bottom of the top point is over lined. They also went to deep so there is discoloration.

This is a small simple tattoo that they did for me right before lockdown and as it's now healed it look awful. The top of the lightening bolt is crooked and the bottom of the top point is over lined. They also went to deep so there is discoloration. I'm not sure how you mess up a tattoo so small and simple. Do not go! They also trash talked another tattoo shop while I was getting my tattoo. A tattoo shop I had just gotten a good tattoo from. Just unprofessional all around

Was randomly walking while traveling and came upon this pretty, small yet super comfortable tattoo shop. Was my first tattoo exp and got attended by @og_elia (didn't really get her name jaja.) Super quick, comfortable, welcoming place!

Diablo was amazing! The place was very clean and had a lot of great work to offer. Will definitely be returning for future tattoo/piercing work!

The artists here are so genuine and they want to make sure they give you exactly what you're looking for. I got my tattoo from Red and it turned out amazing! It's exactly what I was wanting and what I pictured in my mind. I wanted to make sure I got a tattoo while visiting New York for the first time and Hell's Kitchen Ink definitely raised the bar. I'll be coming back for more next time I'm in New York City. Thank you Hell's Kitchen Ink

Got in and out with a septum in no time. Red was really chill, and made sure it went as painlessly as possible. Decent price as well, and I'm thinking about coming back for tattoos in the future.

I had a tattoo done by Vincent over the summer in nyc. I wanted to get something close to my heart that represented my time living in the Big Apple. The price was great and my lines and healing were fabulous! I would definitely go back! I was a walk in and my friend got a tattoo too. They were quick, clean and super friendly. Highly recommend.

A sorry excuse for my Cancer ribbon coming out of my skin

Don't ever go to Lynn. 4 days later. This was supposed to be my Cancer ribbon looking as if it's coming out of my skin. I'm white and she got too happy with black. The lines are not crisp, ribbon is not symmetrical or even. I tried stopping her a few times in but she insisted I should trust her. Big mistake. Thankfully the owner and Vincent agreed to refund me my money, they couldn't have been more apologetic but hey I have to get it covered up now and spend twice as much for something else. I gave her 100 off the bat as the tattoo cost me 80, she even kept the 20 dollar tip for herself after she knew I wasn't happy. Says far more about her character than I could have ever expected. Horrible tattoo artist and an even worse morally and ethically lived lady.

I'm from Europe, and here the legal age is 18. Im 19 and I'm coming on vacation to New York, and I'm wondering what's the legal age for tattoos there? I really want to get one there as a memory. Am I gonna be able to get it? Thanks !

Yes you just need ID to show that you're 18yrs.

How much for two small paw prints on inner wrist with a little heart?

My daughters and I each got varying small tats on our inner wrists and they were $60 each. I know the minimum price there is $50. They were very quick and very well done.

Does anyone know what size earring they pierce the cartilage at?

18g its a regular earring

Do you do cover-ups? I really wish to cover part of my tattoo

Yes we do

Vincent did an excellent job, especially since it is in Hebrew which wasn't too familiar to him.

I found tattooist Yeonnie through a friend who came here to get a tattoo of her cats. 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!!

And WHO BETTER to do it than "THE IDEA GENIE" Chris J. THE BLACK FISH TATTOO shop is Humble UpScale Tattoo place with very down to earth staff; they are very open and warm to new client yet the inside is a KICK of NOSTALGIA at ever turn. NOW, back to Chris, it has not been a miss when it comes to give'n her my tattoo idea with a few references pictures. Then BAM from my mind onto my body with a few WAVE of her MIGHT TATTOO WAND; I have a new piece of art I will CHERISH FOREVER and GET MORE COMPLIMENTS than ZOE KRAVITZ in New York. If you're LOOK'N for the TOP TIER of ART on your BODY. Book with CHRIS J or anyone at BLACK FISH TATTOO you won't REGRET IT. You know the SCIENCE Stay LYT Society Bah BAH BIG L.Y.T
