Jinna is the absolute best. Squeezed me in. Gorgeous tattoo that was exactly what I wanted. And it healed better than any of my other tattoos. 10/10 will go to her again

Kitty on moon.

I would give Magpie Tattoo and Jinna ten stars if I could. I'm 51 and I have never had a tattoo. Until 47, I never wanted one. After my beloved Toonces died of cancer in 6 weeks just shy of 8 years old (after only 23 months with me), I thought about getting a paw print or kitty tattoo. It took me four years to do it because I feared the pain. A small tattoo like the one I got doesn't hurt. I didn't even FEEL it. I was warned that ankles are tough but this was truly nothing. The store is absolutely beautiful, located on East Broadway. It's 10 minutes from City Hall (if you don't get lost) and about 12 minutes from the F train. When I arrived, Jinna showed me printouts of the tattoo I found on Pinterest years ago (I don't even do Pinterest but there are many examples of every sort of tattoo imaginable). I wanted something smaller so she did what she does with the iPad and voila. The only thing to know---and I didn't until after the work---is that you CANNOT SWIM for two weeks. No baths, no saunas, no steam rooms, no jacuzzis, no cold tubs. This is the hardest part of tattoos for a mermaid like me. I don't imagine I will ever get another tattoo but the work is exquisite. So delicate! I found Jinna through my friend who also got her first tattoo, an outline of Brooklyn, where she lived 26 years and raised her daughters. I gasped when I saw it: the lines were so delicate and sharp. Jinna is the best. She also loves cats so we talked about beloved kitties, past and present.

I've never had a tattoo before but I just had such an amazing tattoo session with Jinna! I highly recommend her for piercings and tattoos. She's extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She also follows and tailors all tattoos to what the customer wants down to every detail. Not only is she talented in drawing, she's fast and efficient in both piercings and tattoos! The prices for the services are reasonable as well. If I ever need any more piercings or tattoos, I would definitely go to her again!

At first walk-in I was taken aback on how beautiful, clean and wonderful smelling the inside of the shop is. The atmosphere was very calm and comfortable which made getting my tattoo a wonderful experience. The artist Jinna was very patient and worked diligently to get my design right and was informational in letting me know what did and didn't work. She made me feel I was making the right choice in a life lasting decision and I do not regret. Highly impressed and highly recommended! I will be returning.

Jinna is amazing! I found Magpie Tattoo on IG cause I liked her flash designs, and hit her up with a last minute request to get custom pizza tattoos done with my boyfriend. She gave me some design options that I both loved and was able to have us the next day in the evening. The process was absolutely wonderful- she's very friendly, accommodating, funny, and talented. She gave us lots of size options, recommendations on orientation, etc and her work was very detail-oriented and I LOVE the result! Next time I'm in NY I will definitely be getting another tattoo from her! NOTE: $100 minimum per person!

If you would like a tattoo this place is great the staff here cares and answer all questions. Tattoo healed very clean and was easy to make an appointment. The two artists have nice portfolios. Would go back again. Credit to Jinna for tattoo.

upper lobe piercing

I was so happy to find the place to be an asian and woman owned tattoo & piercing shop! Service was incredible and professional. I even called back a day after my piercing to ask for advice to help stop the bleeding (I think I accidentally hit my piercing) and they even offered to repierce it for free if I choose to take it out and let it heal instead! Highly recommend this spot! You might want to call and make an appointment first.

Posting for my cousins they just got tatted here! They had a total of 5 pieces by Jinna! Jinna is great, she was very patience and super friendly. I got my first tattoo here and it is always scary and don't know what to expect but she took her time to draw out what I want and where I want to place it. She delivered exactly what we wanted, will definitely be back!!! Had a great experience from start to finish!

New tattoo!

Such nice people!! Made my tattoo experience for me and my friend so calm. Provided us with candy, played great music, let my mom come hang out to see the process as well. And amazing work as well!!

I've gotten my favorite tattoo done by Jinna here, and just got some piercings done too. I love how she took the time to rework composition and balance of my tattoo to make it even better from the initial idea I gave her. I've NEVER had a tattoo artist as thoughtful as Jinna when it comes to making sure everything looks perfect-- she's amazing at providing feedback on what she thinks would work best. Jinna's artistry, expertise, and thoughtfulness is why I'll continue coming back for my future tattoos. And she's so awesome and easy to talk to! For my piercings, Jinna was also very thoughtful in giving input on what she thought would work best. I appreciated so much that she took my situation into careful consideration before we carried on with the piercings. 10/10

Name on the window

My friend and I got out ears repierced after work. Piercer took the time to look at my nipple piercing that I got in San Francisco that was healing. Spent the time wrenching it off and furnishing me with a correct sized bar on the house. Caring and talented professionals! I highly recommend. The art inside is also very cool, and the name is great.

Second piercing
Della M.

My friend and I were visiting from out of town, and wanted to get a piercing together! We found Magpie Tattoo, and we were so happy to see it was women owned. We were greeted with so much welcome by Jinna and the staff. They gave us excellent advice about our piercings, detailed instructions for aftercare, and were extremely clean and careful throughout the process. Even better, everyone was so kind and funny. I was laughing and felt comfortable the whole time. I am so happy we found Magpie for our piercing. Thank you for being so kind and welcoming to us!

Tragus piercing done at Magpie Tattoo!

Your search is over, please go here to get your next piercing! My girlfriend and I went here to get piercings today and this was by far the best experience we've ever had! Right off the bat we walked into a welcoming (and entirely woman owned!) environment with beautiful decor and plenty of space/seating to social distance. We were encouraged to sanitize, which definitely made us feel safe during these difficult times. Everyone there was lovely, especially Jinna Lee who I believe did the piercings for us today! She is very knowledgeable about her craft and answered any/all questions I could possibly have before, during, and after getting my tragus done. I also liked how she thoroughly checked to make sure if my ear could support the piercing before doing it; no other place I've been to even cared to check for something like that. Overall it was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience, I can't wait to come back for another piercing and definitely tattoos as well!

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.

It's a permanent thing on your body so I would pay more ensure that it's done correctly anyway! The service here was amazing and everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and excited to work with you! I made an appointment here to get my navel re-pierced and chose this place due to their high ratings and reviews on Google. I can say with confidence that the accolades are well deserved! I had the pleasure of working with George to do my piercing. Upon walking into my appointment I was greeted by another employee who checked my ID and walked me through the process while George was getting ready for me. He was so friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and welcoming! He warned ahead of time that navel is an anatomy- based piercing so there's a chance I won't be able to get it done after my consultation, in addition to aftercare and resources so that I'm well-armed with everything I need to know to take care of my new piercing. In the last I've had my navel done unprofessionally, and then again professionally about a few years ago so I was hesitant about the scarring. George did my consult and assured me that it was safe for me to get it done again. He walked me through the process and talked through exactly what he was doing for prepping and piercing so I didn't get anxiety in anticipation. My navel looks beautiful and it's healing so nicely!! I felt safe, assured that I was getting it done so professionally, and I love how all the info is displayed on the website. All piercers have IGs if you have follow up questions and they respond so fast! Highly recommend!!
