After taking a break from getting tattoos I decided to start on my back. Friends told me about…read moreLibby Lee so I looked at her online portfolio. The next day I ran down with a deposit and got an appointment. Two tattoos later I can say Libby is creative, talented and works with me to get the design I want. I think I like the conversations almost--almost as much as the artwork. I'm sorry I did my arms before I met her b/c I cannot see the tattoos I asked her to put on my back. I am jealous of the ppl at the beach who will get to enjoy them. She also worked on the fly making additions as she worked. If you are looking for a tattoo artist you found her in this review. -From the guy who just got the Fury.

I was referred to Damon at Scott Hill Tattoo by a friend and could not be happier with the result. I started out asking for her paw print but as I got to know Damon and saw his talent as an artist my vision evolved. Damon made me comfortable by taking me through the steps which included sketching Luna before completing the tattoo. His talent was evident and I was comfortable entrusting this to him. I am extremely pleased with the result and would recommend Damon if you are so inclined to get one. He told me about older women he has done work for and it reinforced the fact that age is just a number! I now have me precious, sweet, Luna with me forever.

Avoid this shop! Got a tattoo from them back in 2023 and I normally dont write bad reviews but I…read morecan't let this go. I asked for a realistic hieroglyphic tattoo and what I got was horrible job that I have to now get LASERED off. The owner not only seemed disinterested and rushy(even when I booked that date), but asked me to switch artists when I booked for HIM.... I understand I was a few minutes late(traffic as I was coming an hour away and I did notify him in advance), that was the red flag that told me I should've abandoned the appointment but he had already took my deposit(still should've abandoned ship!). I told him to I booked with him and him only. He seemed irritated and rushed through the tattooing(again I apologized for being a few minutes late which I again told him in advance), and so I ignored. However, the finished product was a MESS and disaster as you can see. And even other tattoo artists noted so, two being my go to tattoo artists. This tattoo is a jumbled mess from the line work, women's faces, very lazy shading, etc. I can go on.... Its just a mess and luckily I saved the original image when it was done to show proof. This piece was supposed to be the Tomb of Nebamun but looks more like the tomb of disaster. Nothing looks like the original picture. Heck an apprentice back at my go to tattoo shop laughed and said he could do a better job. In fact many people I show cant believe the amount of money I paid! To add insult to injury the piece was $700! Now some tattoo artists I spoken to are baffled in how this tattoo doesnt match his "impressive" portfolio. Some even saying many of those tattoos in his portfolio aren't his. I don't know what the case maybe but all I know that I got a lazy, rushed and uninspired tattoo that I REFUSE to have permanently on me.... So yea going to try laser removal(ouch!) this year but the pain will be worth the mental pain I suffered. This is a warning.... If you want GOOD tattoos and artists that care avoid this shop....

Came in for a Friday the 13th tattoo, I was told on the phone tattoos were $60. A little expensive…read moreas Friday the 13th tats are usually $31 plus tip, but I knew Screamin' Ink is a reputable shop, so I went anyway. I was showed what was being offered that day, picked out something I loved, and was told it'd be $150. Confused, I asked, "isn't everything $60," to which the owner replied, "no, our minimum is usually $100, and today it's $60." I was aggravated, bc that's wasn't what was told to me, but I was there and had my mind set on getting tattooed either way. Mike was my tattoo artist and I couldn't be happier with his work!!! I'm sooo pleased with my piece and can not wait to go back and get more done with him!!!

While it is not my first tattoo, it was the first time experiencing Handsome Devil as a client. The shop has an amazing vibe - I absolutely love the decor and the feel of the place. There were a few other clients when I was there, and everyone was so chill and friendly. Upon entering the shop, I was met with Andy, who was so easy to talk to. We actually ended up having the same birthday! How about that! Meant to be. I booked my appointment with Madison, and she is an absolute doll. Before the appointment, she answered all my questions and was so kind and helpful. Madison was also incredibly patient as I adjusted the tattoo and the placement. She even gave me a lollipop and a squeeze ball to help with nerves, lol. While it wasn't an original design, it came out great. It's text, which can be finicky, but her lines and her work are so clean. I'm in love and feel like a bad b.!!! I'm beyond happy with my experience here. I saw that they won an award for 'best tattoo parlor' for some magazine or something...definitely well deserved!

She did ask for a deposit before she would sketch and commit to a appointment for the final tattoo on the day of the appointment she was ready on time and provided a virtual sketch of the Agreed-upon design.

Overall, the final appointment was about an hour, including edits to the design and having the tattoo completed.

I found out about The Base from an online search for fine line tattoo artists in Brooklyn. What a vibe this place was. The energy felt calming, the chill out music playlist was fire, and all the staff I interacted with were kind, accommodating, and professional. The establishment was an open design concept so it didn't feel stuffy or crowded with furniture, equipment, etc. It was also super clean and I routinely saw staff cleaning and prepping equipment, wiping things down, and sanitizing areas and work stations. I came in for a more intricate tattoo than I thought lol but 6 hours later I was thrilled. My artist, Ozge Demir was phenomenal, she had great energy, and was very detail oriented which I appreciated. She captured the essence of what I wanted my tattoo to be. I could tell that she takes pride in her artistry and work and loves doing fine line tattooing. She did a fantastic job and I'm very pleased with the end result. If value quality experiences, service, and artistry visit The Base. This was money well spent.

The place is very very clean (I am kind of obsessed with stuff like that) they clean before you, they clean after you, so it is like the stations are double cleaned. The staff is lovely and friendly. Baris is an e.x.t.r.e.m.e.l.y talented artist. He explains everything and is very transparent about the process and how it will turn out. He tells you about what to expect in the long run and what the primary logic is. For example I asked for a small but very detailed and colored tattoo and he told me how it would look in a year or two. Now I have a different one :) My first tattoo is on my inner right arm. It went super smooth and had taken 3 hours or so. My second one is on my spine and despite everyone saying it was gonna hurt, it did not. Baris puts his best in everything he does. The second one was a Japanese poem and he didn't just do line tattoo. No sir, he went above and beyond, made sure he integrated the Japanese calligraphic aesthetic into it. I am beyond happy with both my tattoos and I will definitely come back for more.
