Jani M.

I got a piece done by Jen, and it came out exactly the way I wanted! I drew out my design and sent her a photo of one of my ceramic pieces. She did a fantastic job, and I can't wait to get more work from her.

Tattoo (and photo) done by Carolina

Could not have asked for a better first tattoo experience! Carolina was so kind and patient - she answered all of my questions and made sure what I got was exactly what I wanted. I really appreciated how she explained the materials she used and why as well as the amount of care she took to stay as true to the design I had as possible (it really looks like someone just used a pen to draw on me). The whole atmosphere of the shop was relaxed, friendly, and supportive which was so nice for someone with social anxiety. Will definitely be recommending this place to friends and going back again myself.

We booked as a group of 4 with very short notice but the owner and manager of the parlor were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making sure via emails and calls that everything was arranged beforehand and that we were happy with everything. Two of our group had never had tattoos before and said they very much enjoyed the experience; the two artists were very helpful throughout the process, they loved the relaxed, friendly vibe of the studio itself staff, and found the tattoo process itself pretty-much painless. My and wife I are more experienced but were very pleased with Nice Tattoo; my artist (Alex) completed a fairly detailed tattoo perfectly *very* quickly and was great when it came discussing last second changes to my design, and my wife gave fairly broad details and her artist (Sarah) came up with a design that my wife loves. The studio was comfortable to wait in as well, with a nice seating area, clean facilities and plenty of reading material (and candy!) to keep guests occupied. The aftercare instructions were well-explained as well (I don't know if this is the industry standard now but it was my first time using second-skin that Nice provided as part of the service and that was brilliant for aftercare). Seemed perfect for first-timers. I think the prices charged are standard for Brooklyn, and Nice were great in ensuring we were within our budgets.

I had the best experience at Nice Tattoo with Jora. The whole process was a little intimidating and scary but Jora made it very easy and comfortable. Jora was very responsive to emails and even responded in the AMs (that really shows you how dedicated she is). I showed her what I wanted and she created a sketch that was unique to me and I loved it. The day before the tattoo appointment Jora sent me an email of recommendations before the appointment. The day of the appointment, she was very nice and patient with me. I had to change the placement of my tattoo a few times and she was super nice about it. Now on to the tattooing part, it was not painful at all!! I thought she put on numbing cream but I guess she's just really gentle. She would give me updates on the progress and make sure I am okay throughout the process. The whole process took around 2 hours but it didn't feel long at all and plus it wasn't painful at all so I even took a mini nap. I have definitely recommended Jora to a few of my friends who are looking for a new tattoo and I can't wait to go back to her for another one. 10/10 recommend!!

TLDR; don't go to a trendy tattoo shop in Williamsburg. Stick to the traditional spots. -------- A disappearing act ~ I was excited about trying this shop out, I've gotten tattoos around the country and always love to support a women-forward shop. (I have since learned it's owed and operated by a man, I feel like that information is a little buried) Making appointment, I was passed around between a few different artist and was eventually given to an apprentice, which is no be deal because these were to be very simple tattoos. The shop was cute, it seems a little less put together than other professional shops, but they were new - so I didn't mind! My artist took the time to work with placement and detail which i loved, but I couldn't feel the needle when being tattooed, which was concerning. I asked for her to go over the art again, and she did, but again I couldn't feel anything. 2 days later they were already disappearing, having years of experience with tattoos AND previous finger tattoos I was not happy. I returned a month later for a touch up (aka a full redo) and it happened again. The X's held up a bit but still need to be fixed. The other two are non existent. I feel fully swindled and would LOVE MY $250 BACK xx

Small and simple, but so beautifully and carefully done.

I reached out to Jora based off her Instagram, but I knew she would be amazing when I observed her changing her gloves more frequently than the administrator at my last Covid exam. While I got quite a small piece done, she took great care to make it perfect, and her skill and attention to detail really come through. I'm so pleased!

The studio has almost a beauty parlor vibe which gives a comforting feeling of being in a hygienic and welcoming space I got tattooed by Jennifer who was really professional and patient with my little modifications and feedback as we designed the piece together and found the perfect spot to place our motif. During the session she was super friendly and personable and we quickly had a great banter and conversation going I 100% recommend this place and will be back for sure

Adorable boba cat tattoo by Jora.

I was just recently tattooed by Jora at Nice and she was such a kind and attentive artist. I felt a little bad because I think I was a little more sensitive to pain than usual, but she kept checking in with me, told me where she was in the process, and was just so present with me. I also appreciated that she took the time to show me that the needles she was using were fresh, showed me how she was going to blend the ink colors together, and just really took the time to make sure I understood that she was keeping it safe and clean. Also my tattoo is super cute!

Found about Nice Tattoo Parlor by falling into an IG rabbit hole. Decided then and there I wanted another tattoo. After checking through the page, I decided to go with tattooist, Hannah. I was able to secure an appointment with Hannah via email. When arriving at the shop, it was very cute and chic, yet welcoming. I was greeted immediately and given a form to fill out. Shortly after, Hannah came and introduced herself and showed me what she had worked up for my tattoo. Overall, the tattoo took about 30 mins and it was great. Immediately after leaving, I emailed for another appointment in January. :)

Fantastic experience! This was my first tattoo so I was nervous and I'm not a visual artist, so I had a lot of trouble explaining what it was I wanted but... Nas was fantastic and a total professional. She was able to decipher what I wanted, I brought lots of pictures of details I liked so that helped, and gave me a really awesome tattoo. She was really kind and totally put me at ease, explained every part of the process and was patient with my inexperience. She gave me lots of small suggestions to help create an image I could love forever (cuz it's more permanent than marriage haha) and I'm ecstatically happy with it. Even my mom liked it ...and that says a lot : p Finally, I have to say, walking into the space was like coming home. Everyone there was, well, nice! The decoration was so cool and comfortable and bright and pretty yet a little rough around the ages. It made me feel like I should've gotten my first tattoo a long time ago. Awesome awesome awesome thanks so much Nas and Nice Tattoo !!!

Immediately after my tattoo. A photo Nas took and posted on Instagram.
Merritt H.

I received my tattoo from Nas on a Sunday afternoon. She was so willing to get me in her schedule and was enthusiastic to be working on me. I was more than pleased with her initial work during the consultation portion of my time there. I had sent her a photo of what I wanted tattooed, but didn't give much direction as to how I wanted it done. I found her work through Instagram and trusted that I was fond of her artistic approach. She advised on size and placement in the area I had an idea of wanting it. I was extremely pleased with her professionalism throughout the entire process. She explained everything she was doing and why. It was my first tattoo and couldn't have asked for a better experience. My session took about an hour and a half and I am more than pleased with the result. I will definitely be coming back when I'm ready for another piece.

our artist marissa was so sweet and NICE. my sister and i wanted matching nyc skyline tattoos on the back of our arms. we booked about 2 months in advance. she was amazing at keeping in touch and making sure we were getting exactly what we wanted. 10/10 customer service and vibes. worth the price for a neat fine line tattoo!

Maree C.

I got my first tattoo by Hannah and she perfectly designed a tattoo that I asked for. I specifically wanted a fine line geometric theme tattoo and her skills were amazing with the details! She was very nice and make sure to explained everything to me to make sure I was okay with the design before permanently inking me. The whole process took about 1.5hrs for the consultation and tattoo. You are allowed to bring a friend to accompany you if you're nervous so I was happy my friends were there for me. Overall, the whole experience was quite good except there was some confusion with scheduling and I was ended up rescheduled to a different time. It wasn't her fault but her assistant accidentally pencil in someone else instead of me. However, Hannah was super nice to compensate me a credit to make up for the inconvenience. Honestly, for a good artist I don't mind the cost as long as the artist is respectful of my time. Hannah definitely provide amazing service to me and I am very satisfied with my first tattoo! The tattoo parlour was very warm and cozy. I really believe in supporting female owned business so this place is definitely highly recommended!

Hi! Do you accept PayPal for deposit and/or total cost?

Are they closing??? I saw a for rent sign in the window. I hope it's only for space above the shop!

They moved from Carroll Gardens to Williamsburg

Do they accept walk-ins?

They don't do walk ins because they are really busy and tightly booked. It's hard for them to estimate how long your appointment might be until they know the specifics of the work you want done and each artist has to know her own schedule and how… Read more

Hey!! Do you have a price minimum and/or an hourly rate that you charge, and if so, what is it?

I was quoted $200 minimum

Hello I am interested in taking my 14 year old daughter to get a cartilage piercing. Does anyone know if they would do it?

I'm sorry but there is no piercing at the shop, tattoos only at this time!

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!!

This tat can only be completed by one of the best tattoo artist who uses vision to describe her work of art. And believes that the future is in her hands. I have some ideas that I want to share with my tattoo artist known as X. The shop is located in a quaint side of Brooklyn that surrounded by other professional workspaces. As i visited this location I could clearly see the difference in lost shops and how this one is laid out. It has an open floor plan which relieves the customer of that claustrophobic feeling with plastered walls and loose fitting curtains. It is very clean, well lit from natural light with at least 3 stations for tattooing. I met Luis who is an amazing artist from Venezuela. His work can be found on the web. One of their new artist is mine. She goes by the nickname X- she was working at the Hawaii location and just relocated to Brooklyn. Her work and journey to the tattoo industry is phenomenal! You can read a small window of her background in this link: https://issuu.com/flourishdigitalmagazine/docs/flourish_digital_magazine_-_september_-_october_f/13 Allow her to design your next statement. X has a way of bringing out the details that work with your purpose. For me, this will be my Christmas gift to myself. For you, it may be a part of your higher calling. All of the artist are trained and refined by the legendary and world renown artist Robert Pho- a creative genius who's tattooing is recognized international for his black and grey works (see link): https://www.outlookindia.com/outlook-spotlight/robert-pho-wins-hearts-by-getting-people-inked-with-his-beautiful-art--news-201123/amp I would be surprised if he opened another shop in another part of this galaxy because he is out of this world! All I am saying is this: if you are going to get something on your body that last forever, the artist and platform art Skin Design is where you want to start and end.

I have seen her work on Instagram and so I was not surprised by the quality of art that she is capable of. But when my piece was finalized, I was mind blown and speechless at the level of art that she was able to create. She was able to take the ideas I had and elevate it to a whole new level. She truly is a professional, never rushed and took her time with the smallest detail and I can't thank her enough for this master piece that she had created. On top of all that she showed great hospitality and was very accommodating. This was definitely worth every dollar I had spend and I look forward to more projects with Lynn in the future. If you really want your mind to be at ease with your tattoo, look no further because Lynn will make sure you walk out of here happy!

Now, I was a walk-in but I had emailed with them several times regarding price and availability. I appreciate that they told me to call before coming in (which I did) because I didn't want to go in vain. Big Mike is super nice, chill and very easy to talk to. I'm a teacher and he's a soon to be art teacher so we bonded over that. Really cool guy and very patient and understanding. Mike took the time to search for fonts that resembled what I wanted and then trying out different sizes, never once rushing the process which I appreciated.

Apologies are great and all but if you are in the profession of putting PERMANENT tattoos on peoples bodies you should be taking this WAY more seriously! Just my opinion! I will not go back.
