In 2019 I had a tattoo that was extremely faded. It needed much more than a basic touch up...it needed a total re-do. A friend recommended this shop and they completely hit it out of the park! Since then, Silk City has been my go-to shop. They always do amazing work. The people working there are absolute pros and I can't recommend them enough. The shop is absolutely spotless and no one has an ego or bad attitude. I have a memorial tattoo planned, and there is absolutely no one I trust to do it more than this shop.

I've heard a few people rave about this place. I already had 3 tattoos with 3 very different experiences at different places that I wasn't really impressed with. I made an appointment with Sean and I'm very happy with his work. He was friendly, professional and seamed to move pretty quick. He may not have been as gentle as 2 of my previous artists, but that's alright. I'm not sure if it was a more sensitive area, if it was in my head or if it was the type of needle he used. His work was perfect and the cost was very fair. It was nice to be in a private, clean space with a professional. I think I'll be booking Sean very soon for my next tat.

I went in a little less than a month ago after booking in March to see Christian Masot for a bluebird tattoo. The wait was absolutely worth it! This tattoo came out even 10x better than I thought it would! I had my vision set on getting a tattoo from Christian for a while and I'm so glad I found him. Not only did the tattoo come out BEYOND beautifully, but the pricing was exceptional! He predicted $200/hr for 4 hours, so I saved up $1000 for the tattoo and tip combined. The tattoo ended up taking only less than 2 and a half hours, and he ended up charging me only $350 + tip. I already know for a fact that I will be coming here for my next big piece when I decide it is time!

Silk City Tattoo is the only place I will go to for my tattoos. In the past I've had Christian and Shawn both work on my tattoos, their both above and beyond, I would recommend them to anyone. Shawn did my last tattoo yesterday, Deathly Hallows symbol from HP. It turned perfect, I'm planning my next tattoo for a Doctor Who tardis.

Mickey did my most recent pieces and he is simply an amazing artist. Highly recommend!

really awesome shop. this was my first tattoo and i walked in and was able to have my design printed right away. i was tattooed by shawn and he was friendly and explained everything to me thoroughly. i was also given a paper that gave me exact directions on how to take care of the tattoo afterwards. the price was less than what i expected. i'll definitely be coming here for my next tattoo.

Pura Vida!

This is place is great, I got a tattoo done by Ryan. He literally took what I had envisioned in my mind and put it down on paper. Then, as for the actual tattoo, it came out just how I wanted. He tattooed me with such skill that I felt no pain. Ryan's awesome, I'm going back for a larger piece, can't wait!

I was nervous and apprehensive and nervous and, well, nervous to get my first tattoo but silk city did an awesome job. I stopped by a few weeks before to make my appointment/pay a deposit (this was two years ago but making an appt was necessary FYI) and from there it was smooth sailing. The artists are talented, interesting & professional. I'd recommend this place to friends, fam, acquaintances, enemies (no one deserves a terrible -permanent- tattoo) ...anyone!

Will was very professional and quick! I was a little nervous but it was over in a split second and didn't hurt as much as I was anticipated! You can tell he is a skilled and seasoned pro! The staff was very helpful, friendly and answers all our questions. The shop was clean, they have a large selection of beautiful jewelry. and the piercing process itself followed all proper protocols. The place was pretty busy on a Friday afternoon and we did end up waiting a good while after our appointment time to be seen, but it was worth the wait! They have couches and a water cooler to make your wait more comfortable. I caught the piercing bug for sure and want to go back for more soon!

The store is spotless and very well setup. The moment we entered we were greeted by a member of the team who explained everything to us and helped us with the jewelry selection. When it came time for the piercing we met Sev. Sev was amazing. Sev explained the entire process and everything down to the tiniest detail. Sev put my daughter so much at ease she never knew the piercing was done. Thank you Sev for your kindness, compassion and warm, bubbly personality. You are amazing. I highly recommend this place for anyone who wants a body piercing. You won't be disappointed.

Avoid 7 Souls Tattoo and Body Piercing at All Costs!…read more I deeply regret stepping into 7 Souls Tattoo and Body Piercing in Fair Lawn, NJ. This place is not only unprofessional but shockingly unsanitary. If I could give zero stars, I would. From the start, I noticed red flags. While waiting, I overheard staff discussing whether they would clean their tools. This made me feel uncomfortable although I've made serveral visits in the past to this and other locations. Yuck!!! Erin asked Meagan if the tools were sterilized so she could work on another client, to which Meagan laughed and said she wasn't going to bother because "it didn't matter." This alone is horrifying, as proper sterilization is critical to preventing infections in a body art establishment. I initially came in to replace jewelry for my conch, 2nd, and 3rd lobe piercings because they required internally threaded jewelry. What unfolded next was a nightmare. Meagan examined my piercings and advised against changing the jewelry on my 2nd lobe because it looked irritated. However, at my request, they agreed to swap it for a longer bar. Erin, who appeared inexperienced and unsure, began the process but struggled significantly, causing me unnecessary pain. Meagan eventually had to assist her in removing my conch jewelry and helped unscrew the balls for my 2nd and 3rd lobe piercings. The jewelry replacement seemed fine initially, and I paid $102.36 plus a $10 tip. However, by that evening, my 3rd lobe piercing became painful, and within days, it began scabbing and bleeding--a clear sign of improper sizing or handling. I returned on Sunday to address the issue, expecting them to correct their mistake free of charge. Erin admitted the bar was too tight and should never have been used. However, I was still charged to fix their error. To make matters worse, they upsized my jewelry unnecessarily, leaving me with a bar I couldn't even use. The lack of professionalism was appalling, but the bigger issue here is the clear violation of New Jersey health and safety regulations: Health Code Violations to Be Aware Of: 1. Failure to Sterilize Tools Properly: * As per N.J.A.C. 8:27-5.1(a), all instruments used in body art procedures must be properly sterilized to prevent infection. The staff's refusal to clean their tools as overheard is a serious breach of this regulation. 2. Unqualified Personnel: * N.J.A.C. 8:27-2.6(a) prohibits untrained or unlicensed individuals from performing body art procedures. Erin's inexperience caused me unnecessary pain and injury, which could have been avoided with proper training. 3. Improper Jewelry Sizing and Injury: * N.J.A.C. 8:27-6.5(e) specifies that properly sized jewelry is crucial to avoid complications. Using a bar that was too short caused my piercing to scab and bleed unnecessarily. 4. Unethical Practices: * Forcing customers to pay to correct mistakes caused by the establishment is not only unethical but also unprofessional. The overall experience was a disaster. My 3rd lobe piercing, which was perfectly fine before visiting this shop, is now damaged due to their incompetence. The unclean practices I overheard, combined with inexperienced staff and improper jewelry sizing, highlight a lack of care for both customers and health standards. I would strongly caution anyone against visiting this establishment. I hope the local health department investigates their operations to ensure no one else has to endure such an experience.

I've gone here for 2 tats. I was really hoping to be able to add this local business and give them…read morea better review, but it didn't work out that way. They have decent reviews on another site, but If you read them, people either had a good experience with a tatoo artist who is no longer there or they had a good experience getting a piercing. I live about 5 minutes from here so I checked it out and wanted to get a tatoo of a record with the Wu-tang logo in it. I had an official drawing set up and went to book with Carlos. When I went there for the appointment, he changed the design up. I was cool with it because it looked a lot like graffiti art. But when he was done, he painted in the needle in the record player which made it look terrible. He didn't seem to understand that his first design looked like graffiti art and I liked it, but when he colored in the needle and make it realistic, it made the record look stupid. I had no choice but to go back, pay more to set up the colors and have him fill in the record. Unfortunately, he couldn't make the record look as realistic as I would have expected because he already messed up the lines with his graffiti looking design. I'm ok with the final product, but it could have been better. I almost feel like he did what he did to make me go back and spend more money. I did appreciate that he wanted to make me happy when I was so disappointed with what he did at first. While I was getting tatted up, people were coming in for piercings. I was amazed that we were all out in one open space and it didn't seem like the cleanest, most sanitary environment for all those possible bodily fluids in the air, but everybody else didn't seem to notice. Of course as I lay there on my stomach, I kept thinking, does anybody ever clean this place? I went back looking for Carlos to give him another go on a Star Wars tat I wanted to get. Carlos wasn't there, so I talked to this guy "Brisk" I also wanted to get a tat of Ryu, and they had street fighter in the front, so I figured I would get the street fighter tat I wanted and then see what I wanted to do about the Star Wars tat I also want. Somebody made an unauthorized transaction on my debit card this week and so I called the bank and and asked for a new card. I went to the bank today to take out cash, but they were closed, I forgot it was Indigenous People's day. I went to my appointment and explained to Brisk, that I'm waiting for them to send me a new debit card and the bank was closed today. I told him I have Apple Pay, I showed him my bank account app so he can see that I have the money, and asked if he would hold a check and I'll bring him cash tomorrow, or he can cash the check. He would only take cash or cash app. They didn't have the ability to run my apple credit card because they don't have the card reader. I downloaded the cash app but without a debit card, I couldn't do it. He said he could reschedule me, but I told him, if you don't trust me, I don't trust you. At this point, I'd feel more comfortable driving a little farther and getting a tat from somebody that has their own clean work area, a place that accepts something other than cash. Be sure and check out the artists work on Instagram and not to chose this place based on their overall reviews.
