On a whim I decided I wanted to get a Phantom of the Opera tattoo while on my trip to NYC and…read morethankfully I stumbled upon a tiktok talking about New York Tattoo Collective! I went in around 2:30 on a Monday (Presidents' Day) for a walk in and was told they could take me around 3:30 so that was absolutely perfect. I was set up with Rocky who is just a doll. She is amazing, made me feel comfortable, vibes were immaculate. She really made sure I had options and got what I wanted and the pricing was incredibly reasonable! It didn't take long at all and Rocky was great at keeping conversation flowing. Spencer, the owner, is so nice and I wasn't intimidated at all which is great because shops around where I live aren't the most welcoming! I cannot wait to come back here on future trips, everyone there is really so genuinely cool!

Let me start off by saying I love my tattoo courtesy of Big Mike. He did a great job and I hope to…read morebe back again. 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. Once the tattoo outline was placed on my skin, he again asked me if the placement was what I wanted and size, again thanks for doing that. Overall, loved my experience here, have & will continue to recommend. Super clean, friendly artists, in & out in 30 mins. Thank you for making me feel comfortable the whole time and good luck with the edTPA mike! P.S.- I came here on a rainy day around 3pm so it was kind of empty and then picked up so piece of advice: email & call beforehand.

I'm extremely upset with the piercing side of this shop. I asked a person there with help opening…read moreup my 8 gauge septum ring, and the first thing i noticed was the look of uncertainty. The second thing was the lack of correct equipment. He used thick rusty pliers (which is incredibly risky because this piercing is STILL HEALING!!) and scissors instead of ring opening pliers of flat nose pliers. My brand new, expensive jewlery broke in his hands without compensation. He stated "this is the risk that you take". However, no risk was stated and there was no debriefing done. I've had rings of a similar gauge opened just fine. I'm very disappointed because My jewelry broke before I could wear it out and it was a waste of money because I cannot wear it anymore. He stated to me that "i've never seen a septum piercing this large before" which i could understand, but to me it shows that he should've declined the job if he knew he didn't have experience in it. This is my second weird experience with my septum piercing at this shop. The first time was when the piercer tried telling me what gauge i was at (assumed 16) and debated with me about with me knowing it was a 12. Then proceeded to say 20 gauge is thicker and 16 is thinner, which is opposite. The people on the piercing side here do not know what they are doing.

I visited No Idols yesterday and my experience getting pierced with Kimmy was astronomical!…read more Kimmy was very considerate and kind when it came to making sure I was comfortable and ready to pierce. I've always heard amazing things about her as a piercer and she's even lovelier as a person :) I got my rook and my nipples done and I'm in love with how they came out. Finding a reputable piercer is worth it and Kimmy definitely is of her word. She only pierces with implant grade jewelry and the piercing itself was very quick. I look forward to getting pierced by her again!!

Had my second tattoo done by Lynn Hoang and she is unbelievable as a professional tattoo artist and…read moreI would say she is one of the best in the business. 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!

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.

Sure, the place…read moreis famous for the owner tattooing all the Avengers, and while that is dynamite stuff, you really need to know about the quiet, petite genius set up in the far back corner. I was looking for years for someone who could flawlessly design and execute my full left arm sleeve. There are a lot of complex elements that needed to be woven together visually and he delivered. We still have a few more sessions to go to finish it up, but it has been beyond worth every penny spent ($250/hour) and every minute (40 hours and counting) under his gun. Cheo is friendly, subtle, funny, respectful, a true collaborator, ridiculously talented, and if you're lucky, he might have his adorable rescue dogs with him at the shop...

After meticulously researching shops and artists in Manhattan, Denys was my number one choice, so I was so excited when LOVE Machine promptly responded with a consultation appointment and very reasonable quote. Denys lived up to his reputation and I couldn't be happier with my new tattoo. Working with Denys was truly a collaborative experience, as we shared ideas on color, size, placement, and the design. Denys was a consummate professional who went above and beyond to make sure I got the tattoo I wanted. Denys is so skilled and talented in many designs and styles! Kudos also to Ricardo (shop manager) and the overall vibe of the shop as well. LOVE Machine is a very chill and laid back atmosphere. I've been getting tattooed for 10+ years and this is one of the best experiences I've ever had. Thanks Denys and LOVE Machine.
