    I can't say enough good things about this place. Starting off with when we first walked in, we were greeted with a very friendly welcome from the guy who was working front desk. The ambience was very cozy, and relaxed. They play great music and their new place is huge! My sister and I got tattoos from Adrien. He showed us the drawings and we were blown away... like he read our minds! He worked quick, yet very precise and perfect straight lines! My sister and I are happy beyond belief with everything about this place, and artist!

    I've gotten 2 tattoos here. The establishment is clean and so is the equipment I've only seen Dylan so far but all the artists have portfolios. I have no plans to go anywhere else for a tattoo in Rochester. You might complain at the price but you get what you pay for when it comes to tattoos.

    While this city is home to a handful of talented tattoo artists, Love Hate is the creme de la creme of tattoo studios in Rochester. Clean, professional, and experienced is what you're paying for- and it ain't cheap (I believe the starting rate is $150 an hour). Although expensive, you're paying for extraordinary artists who have years of experience in creating and tattooing custom artwork. If you have a huge piece you'd like to get tattooed, this is one of the few places in the city you can trust to get the job done right the first time. I'll admit my first experience with this shop was intimidating, but like other reviews have stated once the ice is broken, they're all very nice and social. I had scheduled an appointment with Ben Wight in the fall of 2006 to get a custom piece done on my feet. I came to Ben with an idea of what I was looking for and he took my ideas and inspirations and created a beautiful piece that I am proud to show off. Ben was kind, professional, and made sure to clearly explain to me everything he was doing before he did it. The tattoos came out beautiful, and out of all my tattoos, they are still the most complimented on to this day. Love Hate isn't cheap, and in reality great tattoo work isn't. You can try and save by going somewhere inexpensive with inexperienced tattooers but in the end you'll end up paying when you do end up at their studio to have one of them fix your botched tattoo anyway.

    I've gotten 3 tattoos done at Love Hate and in February I will get my 4th tattoo by my 3rd artist. The artists I've experienced were: Zane - his personality is sweet and kind, he makes you feel very much at ease when tattooing you. I love that he is the new generation of a family business, his pride shows on his face and in his work. Dylan - not much for conversation and his beard was just too magnificent to be comfortable around. Although he wasn't much for warm fuzzies, the tattoo he gave me is absolutely beautiful. I get complimented all the time but most importantly, when it's just me and the mirror, my thigh has now become my favorite body part. In February I have an appointment booked with Ben. Based off his instagram page I don't think I'll be disappointed in his work either. So far I experienced the planning stages with him; he was prompt and clear when answering me and seemed genuinely intrigued about designing my new tattoo. A very clean shop with lots of nice supportive artists.

    The best artists in the city. Adam did a cover job for me and it surpassed my expectations!

    Very reputable shop! Christine did a great job and took plenty of time to work through the design process. Shop was clean and well organized and had plenty of sample work to look at. Very comfortable environment!

    Everyone was friendly and welcoming as soon as we walked in. Zane did a tattoo on my foot and did a great job! Thanks again!

    Thanks for fitting us in!

    My review is for the artist Shannon McCauley at this location, as I have only been tattooed by this…read moreartist at this shop. I started following Shannon last year on Instagram when she first started drawing flash and dreaming of starting to tattoo. Her work was colorful, true to the Traditional style and yet somewhat whimsical. Once she started apprenticing, I kept an eye on her progress, hoping she would advance enough where I'd feel comfortable letting her tattoo me. Last year over the summer, her skill had really started to develop and take off and when she was having holiday specials this past December, I decided to take her up on a sitting. Shannon was professional, friendly, and transparent about the process. She reworked the chosen flash quickly and even customized it with some text at no additional charge. She did well getting the stencil on quickly and efficiently. While in the chair, Shannon let me lead the way in conversation, it seemed she was really perceptive to whether me as a new client was a little of an introvert (and well, nervous for meeting someone offline for the first time), but by twenty minutes in, we had established such a friendly rapport, it was like hanging out with a friend. The tattoo was sufficient for someone who is still developing her skill, and Shannon is very much transparent with this information, and prices her pieces accordingly. After three months, the tattoo is still bold, without any significant muddling or blowout. I'd consider myself a tattoo collector of sorts. I've been tattooed by some of the US's leading industry professionals and know the culture pretty well, and Shannon is definitely a like minded individual. If you're looking to expand your tattoo collection, at reasonable prices with a talented and developing artist, Shannon is the one you need to be contacting.

    If I could give more stars I would!!! Our experiences with Andie over the years have been nothing…read moreshort of incredible. Back in 2024, when my middle daughter was about to turn 8, we went to Andie for her first ear piercing. As my daughter's nerves grew, Andie's patience somehow doubled. She coached her through one lobe, and when my daughter decided she wasn't ready for the second, Andie didn't push -- she supported her wholeheartedly and celebrated her choice to wait. Fast forward to last week: my other two daughters decided they wanted their ears pierced as well. We went back to Andie, and she guided my oldest through double piercings and gently worked with my youngest, who needed a little extra time and confidence. We returned the next day, and she did it! Then came my middle daughter -- the one who had only one lobe pierced since 2024. Seeing her sisters succeed gave her the courage to try again. After an hour and a half of pep talks during one visit, and then another 2 1/2 hours during our most recent appointment, she finally became a two‑earring girl! Andie was right there with us the entire journey -- patient, encouraging, emotionally invested, and truly cheering her on. She was nearly in tears with pride, just like I was. You can see that this isn't just a job for Andie. She pours her heart and soul into every single person she works with. She cares deeply, she loves what she does, and she strives for absolute excellence in every interaction. I would recommend Andie to ANYONE. You will not be disappointed -- she is one of a kind!

    Wouldn't recommend. Unprofessional, untrustworthy, and operates with no integrity. There are plenty…read moreof piercers around here that actually take themselves seriously and care about their customers.

    Absolutely Outstanding Experience at White Tiger…read more My experience at White Tiger was phenomenal from start to finish. The shop has an inviting, professional atmosphere and a level of cleanliness and organization that immediately puts you at ease. You can tell the team takes pride in maintaining a space where creativity and comfort go hand in hand. I had the pleasure of being tattooed by TeeJay, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. TeeJay took my ideas, refined them with an artist's eye, and created a design that went above and beyond what I imagined. Her precision, talent, and attention to detail are truly next-level. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. What stood out most was TeeJay's ability to blend professionalism with genuine passion for her craft. It's rare to find an artist who not only delivers exceptional work but also makes the entire experience enjoyable and collaborative. If you're looking for top-tier artistry, a welcoming environment, and a tattoo you'll love for life, White Tiger is simply unbeatable.
