Visit Date: February 9, 2020…read more So I followed Marc Salerno (like he was my favorite musician) to this tattoo shop because I loved the tattoos he did for me when he was at space ace and I currently need tattoos for happiness so I've booked appointments with him until May with more to follow because I am getting an arm sleeve and than maybe more tattoos down my spine after that. The tattoos shop itself reminds me of someone's comfy living room with a tattoo shop inside. I'm also able to bring my son with me which is a plus especially because the appointments I have are during a time where I'm not sure if I could get anyone to watch him. For this recent visit Marc tattooed an open book on my arm. This is the second tattoo that's on my arm sleeve, I already had a black rose with a red ribbon on it from years ago. Marc is amazing, we have a good tattoo artist/tattooey vibe going on and he seems to be able to figure out what I'd like before I've completely figured it out. I'm not sure if he does that for all his clients but I can say that for myself. So I'm definitely impressed with East End Tattoo and if you're going to get an appointment here definitely book with Marc if you can. As long as he's working here yelp can see my tattoo sleeve in progress.

I was greeted immediately from friendly staff and told them I needed help with a jewelry change. John was able to help me and he was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuine.

I've gotten all my tattoos with Shane at Strega Rose tattoo arts. From my first ever small piece to…read moremy recent bigger piece covering most of my forearm. He always out does himself with the design and care he puts into each design he does. He always takes my vision and makes it a complete masterpiece. Along with being extremely talented his personality and how he interacts with customer along with the cleanliness of his shop is second to none. His beautiful shop is literally a art gallery. I could never imagine getting my artwork done anywhere else! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

My son received his first tattoo by Kenny in June as a memory piece for his late father. We…read morerecently went back for his second at the beginning of January. On the same day, Kenny also tattooed a beautiful ankle bracelet with an evil eye. Their work overall is distinguished and beautiful. I am giving a four rather than a five for lack of response to a follow-up email to Ian and Kenny. It has been three weeks (the appointment was on 1/6/23, and the last email was sent on 2/4/23). Kenny said if I had any issues with my tattoo, to reach out, which I did. My pupil has a slight fade, so when I reached out, it was to add a bit of color to the pupil. Neither artist gave me the courtesy of returning my email, which I find disappointing. Why offer the opportunity to reach out when you ignore any communication from the customer? Due to the lack of response, I am taking it personally and guess that they no longer want us as a customer for their establishment for additional work. I feel sorry for my son due he expressed having Kenny continue working on his arm. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option. Now we have to find a new artist due to the catfish/ghosting from Amity Irons.

Great spot for a tattoo. Moved here recently and was in need of a new tattoo studio.

On this particular day, I did not have an appointment but my friend did (I was accompanying her). Last minute I decided to get a tattoo and they squeezed me in. The tattoo was simple and took about 10 minutes. This is my third Empire State tattoo and I'll never give it a second thought to get inked there. They are a clean, friendly, responsible, considerate, creative establishment.

Wasn't able to go back to change out the bar bc I tested for Covid this am and had to remove it myself. Also, their sterilization pouches weren't appropriately sealed so while the clamps and hemostat hadn't been touched until opened, they weren't technically sterile. Shoulda said something but it's too late now. Waste of $$ on the piercing.

What a splendid diamond in the rough…read more Inside is airy and bright, towards the back is a tattoo parlor but feel free to stick to the caffination station towards the front like I did. Floral palates will love the menu as a lot of the homemade syrups are based in lavender, chamomile and other fauna. Plus the baked good are also homemade which is a definite plus. As I ordered, I could see them literally placing flowers on a cake with a mascarpone chantilly, like hello??? I ordered a rosemary brown sugar latte and brown butter chocolate cookie and tucked myself into a nook to read. The rosemary latte, of course, hits you with rosemary immediately. Unique but a pleasant and addictive sip nonetheless. The cookie though? Probably one of the best I have ever had on the island. It's slightly molasses-y, crisp, with plenty of chocolate and salt to balance it all out. Overall? Well worth the drive out. Come give them a chance!
