When we walked in the studio I was so impressed with how nice the studio was. The customer service was super nice and Bruce was so easy to work with! Bruce Kaplan absolutely did an amazing job on my tattoo and made me feel comfortable. He answered all of my questions and my husbands questions. We felt so comfortable my husband booked his next tattoo before we left the studio. The prices are fair for the patience, technique and great customer service you receive. I would definitely return and recommend Bruce!

Came here for my fourth tattoo and had a very positive experience. I read great things on Yelp and…read moredecided that the abundance of positive reviews have to mean something. I called and was able to get an appointment the same day within an hour of the call. The digital wavier was great and easy to fill out. More places should do this. The consult with Neal was great. He offered a lot of advice on placement and style. I didn't feel pressured to do anything I didn't want in terms of placement or design which I always appreciate. Neal was super friendly and was very clear about aftercare as well which I appreciate. The place itself was welcoming and clean which I truly appreciate. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would recommend/come back.

I cannot overstate how welcoming and professional the team at South Shore is. After reading some…read morestellar reviews and looking at online portfolios I was genuinely impressed with what I saw of Jesse's work. I had a vision of what I wanted done as a tribute to my sons and from my initial inquiry through the finishing touches they helped me bring it to life. Communication was spectacular every step of the way - I shared an overview of what I was looking for through those first texts which paved the way for a terrific consultation where Jesse took the time to go over everything, let me know what he needed from me, and provided some great resources for picking out the right font, even providing helpful pointers for what to look for in different fonts so that it would continue to look great for years to come. On arrival day of Jesse already had a mockup ready to go and was more than accommodating with some minor changes I wanted done. I can't say the process was painless for obvious reasons but it was as smooth as one could ever hope for. The work was clean, the price was extremely fair, and I left with a piece I'm super happy with that has already received a bunch of compliments even though it's still in the healing phase. South Shore has my highest recommendation and has definitely won a repeat customer with me. Can't wait to do it again.

This review is extremely overdue. A previous shop, Kinetic Tattoo in Levittown botched by fiancées…read moretattoo quite literally beyond belief. We went all over the island looking for help fixing it and everyone suggested laser removal with the promise of redoing it after the laser removed the tattoo. We went to Kings Avenue tattoo and words can't even describe how great this place is. It's upscale, clean, and professional. We met with a tall thin man with a shaved head (his name escapes me) and he immediately validated us and asked what he can do. My fiancee cried and he was extremely empathetic and sat with us for a long time talking about options. He was the only place who said he could do ANYTHING besides laser. We told him he could have complete artistic freedom as long as it didn't look so obviously botched. He told us to come back for an appointment and he would see what would be possible. No exaggeration, the artist worked complete magic. He actually took zero artistic freedom and somehow fixed it to how it was originally supposed to be. The tattoo is almost perfect and when we showed people afterwards they could not believe the difference. I am extremely detail oriented and I stared at the tattoo for a long time and it was literally perfect. If the original had come out like that, we would've been thrilled. If the owner reading this remembers this travesty we brought in and can remind me of the artists name, he and the original man we spoke to were saints. This is the only place we and our family would ever go for more tattoos, this place deserves to stay open forever. Thank you so so much for saving something as permanent and emotionally based as a tattoo, it means more than we can say.

From the moment you walk into the door you're greater with chill music, a welcoming atmosphere,…read moresuper friendly owner and staff. They offer you water and coffee while you wait. They chat you up a bit and then you meet your artist. In my case I had Chris Raft who was an expert in eastern and Japanese traditional tattoos. He draws up an example, prints it out and brings you back into the room. This place has separate rooms for each artist. Super clean and upscale looking. He laid down the stencil making sure it's positioned in the exact way wanted. He laid down the finest outline I ever had, filled it in with color that was flawless in every way. Talking the whole time making me feel comfortable. Super cool guy, when it's all done give you the opportunity to review it, take your photos for the gram, and gives you two different ways of protecting it. They have a second skin and the old school way of protecting your investment. The prices here are on the higher end but the services justified the price. You have to remember this is a permanent investment and you shouldn't go by price alone. I will be coming back here to get more work done with Chis in the very near future.

Her vibe and personality is amazing, she's not heavy-handed on the needle, she takes her time and she's honestly very patient if you're needing a break or a moment to just get up and take a quick stretch.

Overall, everyone in the shop is very nice. Helpful and friendly but Danielle is just my personal go-too lady. I do believe the prices have increased since COVID but it is what it is.

I had a terrible experience getting my nose stud changed to a hoop at this shop. For context, the…read morepiercing is 2 years old and had been fully healed for a year. The piercer tried to remove my original jewelry without checking the gauge and mistaked my threadless stud for a screw-top. She had so much trouble removing it that she used two pliers, causing unnecessary trauma to my piercing. Then, she eyeballed the size and inserted a hoop that was clearly too small, causing my nose to bleed further. She then replaced it with a second hoop, again without confirming the proper gauge. My piercing ended up bleeding throughout the entire night. Because the piercer seemed to lack experince, I sought a second opinion who confirmed the gauge was too large and the material wasn't hypoallergenic. I returned to the shop where they refused responsibility, saying they didn't need to confirm my guage because they "know their guages" and dismissed my concerns by saying "all piercers talk sh*t." They've refused to issue a refund despite the clear mishandling. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for safe or professional piercing services.
