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!!

He let my mom take a break when when her arm started to hurt, he braced her about certain sensations and made any additions to the design that she asked for. Definitely think her tattoo is so pretty! The atmosphere was very cool as well. The black lights in and the music in the waiting room was a nice touch.

I've wanted a tattoo for so long. So many ideas over the years, but life has a way of just moving…read moreforward, and before you know it, you're 35 with no tattoos. So when the Knicks won the championship this year, I knew it was go time. The Game 4 comeback was one of the best moments of my life, so getting OG's tip-in tatted was written in the stars. I live in North Carolina, so I started by looking around down here. A couple of artists turned me down, one completely misunderstood what I wanted, and one whose recent Brunson tattoo was... not great. So I said fuck it. It's my first tattoo, I want it done right, we're going to the source. I don't really do social media, so I just googled something like "knicks championship OG tattoo new york" and looked for the best ones I could find. A couple of my favorites from the search traced back to a shop not in NYC proper, but Jersey City, and specifically to Alena. When I showed up, I found a clean, well-designed space that put me at ease right away. I can be a little quiet when I first meet people, but everyone was super friendly. Alena sat down with me to design the piece and was such a thoughtful partner in the process. I came in wanting it on the back of my calf, but she suggested moving it onto the side, and I'm so glad she did. I also knew I wanted another element besides the scene, and Alena does these incredible sticker-style logos that pop, so she worked one of those in at the bottom that I'm in love with. It's hard to judge since this was my first tattoo, but I feel like Alenda managed to keep the whole thing tolerable while still being thorough and making it look terrific. We took the perfect number of breaks so I never got antsy. After two days on the table, it came out absolutely perfect. Beyond what I even expected. It's been three days now and it's healing really well, which I've read is partly the mark of a great artist. OG looks incredible, she nailed KAT's surprised face, the pixelated Spurs faces seem to be everyone's favorite part (such an incredible idea from Alena), and the fine details are mind-blowing. Two more things--sorry I'm very emotional right now lmao--first, I was already confident I'd get a great tattoo based on her work. What I didn't expect was to have such a good time. I loved hanging out with Alena and Bebe on day one, and them plus a few other folks on day two. Lots of fire music, laughs, true crime docs, and top-notch art. I brought headphones and didn't use them even once. And second, I straight up didn't realize I was being tattooed by a legend. I had no idea Alena was on a TV show for this, or that she has a wild backstory I now have so much respect for. Alena, thank you. You're a legend. I'll be back for more.

I've been a client of hers for several years now and her style and technique have been consistently stunning since day 1! Shes insanely talented at listening to a tattoo idea and creating a stunning original visual design from scratch (no AI in this house!!). She also has some of the softest hands of any artist I've ever been to without any negative effects on the tattoo quality so if pain is something you really worry about, Rowan at Inkology is perfect for you! 10/10 one of the best tattoo artists in NYC!!!

As for the studio overall, it's in a great location that's easy to get to (just blocks away from PABT), and it's clean and spacious.

Secondly when I tried to get my piercing done he told me I'd have to wait 3 hours for him. I asked if he could quickly do it cause it's just a Naval and not even. All because he had a "BIG PIECE" which was 5 inches big . Wow big piece there bud. Every-time I try and give them another chance they ruin it. Never again am I ever coming here. Oh and I was pierced there once before as a minor (15 years old) there was no issue back then. So much for "following the law" like he said.

I reached out to the artist 2 weeks ago AND was informed I would be able to get it touched up at no cost once it fully heals. I reached out today and due to the artist no longer being in shop I was told I have to pay AGAIN for the HORRIBLE work to get touched up and I got no HELP from the store OWNER. LETS KEEP IN MIND MY FAMILY HAS BEEN COMING HERE FOR YEARS. I'm 95% sure half of the profit FOR THIS TATTOO went to the business which mean as a business OWNER you take that into consideration REGARDLESS IF YOUR ARTIST NO LONGER WORKS THERE because I paid for the HORRIBLE work THAT WAS DONE at THE SHOP. YOUR ARTIST ARE A REFLECTION OF YOU! So when you DONT offer to assist in ANY way because the artist is no longer there, That's an issue as a business establishment! As I expressed myself with a complaint the owner blocked me, I WILL PROCEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUISNESS BUREAU. I WISH I COULD LEAVE THIS REVIEW WITH 0 STARS BUT IM FORCED TO GIVE IT ONE.

What a wonderful tattoo studio. I knew Koral and Fortunato from their previous studio, and was so…read morehappy when they opened their own. Fortune and Love has such a welcoming vibe and aesthetic when you walk in. It feels like a great representation of both their fashion sense. From the decor, to the furniture, to the branding, you know you will have a very comfortable tattoo experience. The studio has snacks, water, coffee/tea, and a very comfortable lounge area. It's super easy to access by subway or path if coming from NJ. It's also great for a friend or partner to stop by and hang out as you are being tattooed. Both artists are fantastic with color and can take your idea and transform it into something magical. My experience is with Koral so I can speak more to her process, but have chatted with other customers who had wonderful things to say about Fortunato too. What started as a simple "mountain changing color as it progresses through the seasons" has evolved into a completely ornate and beautiful arm piece that was unlike anything my simple brain could have imagined. Her process involves conversations and examples of my experience, but at no point was there an expectation for me to give her the image to just replicate. Feeling a bond with Koral has made it an extra special experience (Love for Nature and Travel). I am currently going through a coverup on an old tattoo (changing a dragon into an octopus with scenes of arctic and tropic marine life) with Koral. I'll be super excited to share the final result later this summer. Added some pictures of the first arm piece I did with Koral.

I have been following Fortunato for almost a year now. I saw his work on his instagram and knew right away that he was the artist I have been searching for. The first piece Fortunato did for me was a portrait of my mom. It came out beautifully. It looks just like my mom. He also did a piece on my forearm which OMG is one of my favorite pieces. It has so much meaning in my life and he brought it to life and my heart. I had a few more pieces done by Fortunato and of course they look spectacular. My most recent portrait done by Fortunato are my boys with my Inay (grandma). My Inay has passed and my boys are now 21 & 23 years old. This is the only photo I have of them together and I'm so grateful that after many years of changing phones and deleted social media accounts I now have this photo forever. I met Koral through Fortunato and I'm happy to say I have a beautiful floral tattoo which I got for her home country of Ukraine. Koral's artwork is incredibly unique. If you have been searching for a tattoo studio with talented artists, stop searching, Fortune and Love Tattoo is the place to go!!!!!
