This place is such a gem, Ivan Paz (owner / tattoo artist) really made my experience the best one I've had yet at any shop!! the vibe was super cool and made me feel comfortable and trusting immediately. If you're in the area and thinking of getting a tattoo definitely stop by and see for yourself, Ivan is super genuine and super talented and so are all the artists at this shop. Will be going back and recommend this place 100%.

Big shout out to Ivan for giving me my first tattoo. Truly an artist and a great guy to converse with. Really appreciated every second I was in his shop and would do it again! Highly recommend.

Great shop, friendly staff, clean. Looking forward to Max taking great care and detail to his ink work. Will update with finished . Updated 2//24/18: it's been a few months since original post and happy to report back I love the work Max did on me (and sister)! I get so many compliments on the tats and appreciate Max adding my own style to the pieces I wanted, I can't wait to be back for more. If you want a studio that appreciates their customers are patient to help you through the process of understanding what you want, when even you aren't sure. This is the place I'm sure an appointment and good idea of whs

My go to tattoo spot! Found out about them from a Friday the 13th flash sale they had going on and I've been going back since. Have gotten about 3 of my tattoos here. Two of them I've gotten from Max (the one pictured and a flash piece) and the other I got from Ivan (another flash piece) Every artist here is super friendly and they all have really awesome designs. They frequently have flash sales throughout the year too so check out their Instagram page for when those are. Highly recommend. Will be going back here for more!

I love my tattoo by Ivan, he has an awesome bedside manner for someone as twitchy as myself. As I waited for my appointment it was clear that he connects with all his clients. Appreciate and will be returning for another! Updated with healed and aquaphored tattoo pic

Eastern Bluebird by Eddie

First and only tattoo studio I've been to, so I don't have anything to compare this place to, but I love it here and don't see myself going anywhere else in nyc. The people are great. Very friendly, welcoming, and entertaining. The three tattoos I've gotten here have all been done by Eddie, and he's awesome. I've seen work done by the other artists (Max and Dee) while getting mine, and they all have come out amazingly. Eddie works fast but doesn't rush, and everything I've gotten by him has come out great. Minimal to no scabbing, no patchiness, clean lines and amazingly good with colors. I can't emphasize how happy I am with his most recent piece on me. Talks you through with what he's doing and makes sure you're comfortable throughout the process. Very clean, relaxing and just generally nice atmosphere. They take cleanliness seriously, and it shows. Plenty of knick knacks, drawings, etc. on the walls to keep your eyes busy while you wait. Like I said, this is the only studio I've been to so I can't talk about how their prices compare, but I have always felt like I've gotten a good price for the quality of work done. Overall, highly recommended!

This is the best tattoo shop I have ever been to. Maxine hooked it up. She's a gem. Eddie was really cool too. I haven't experienced a more positive, enjoyable situation EVER. the customer service is impeccable. My tattoo was quick and easy. And actually didn't hurt. She knew what she was doing and did it well. The shop is adorable. Not your usual douchey tattoo parlor. You walked in and wanted to buy everything off the walls and then get 5 more tattoos solely because of the atmosphere. It is RIGHT off the train station, and coming from Manhattan is a breeze. If I could give this shop and the people more than 5 stars, I WOULD!!!!!!!! I'm am so so so so happy with my choice in coming here.

I went to sunnyside tattoo for the Friday the 13th flash sheet special. They had around twelve flash sheets in different styles to choose from which was more than any shop I had seen in Manhattan, so I made my way out to Queens and I'm really happy I did! By the time I got tattooed it was around 11pm and the staff had seen a huge crowd of people before me (I'd been waiting since 1pm) and must have been tired but were still super polite. My artist was Maxine, who I highly recommend. She was extremely professional and kind, and she did a great job on the tattoo. Overall I was really happy w the selection of flash tattoos, the atmosphere, and the professionalism of the artists. Definitely worth the trip.

Came here for my first tattoo and I am super happy with it. Ivan was my tattoo artist and he was super professional and courteous. Would definitely come back here again.

I am in love with the tattoo I had done. It was my first piece with color or shading so I wasn't sure what to expect, but Eddie was great about letting me know what might hurt a little more than I might be used to and although mine wasn't super complicated I was at ease that it would look great. Also, I called and emailed earlier in the day and everyone was super friendly and helpful which I know is hard when your main job is artistic and answering phones and emails is just a part of the gig. They also let my friend sit next to me and chat and everyone not only tolerated our insane best friend dialogue, but made us both feel really comfortable. This is an awesome shop with awesome people and I highly recommend stopping by.

I really…read moreliked her art and when my friend showed me her versions of windchimes and norigae style tattoo, i was sold. After my first, I've been perusing what would be the best style for my second (I really wanted to get a tattoo dedicated to my cat, Matcha). I instantly fell in love and as fate has it, there was an inspo photo of an omamori with jiji (from kiki's) and cherry blossoms that hit my instagram. Instantly, I knew that this is the style I would like so I messaged Yeonnie and she responded quick. She will do the sketch a day before your appointment (you'll get a cute sketch by midday) and you can request any changes. I absolutely adored the edition of my cartooni-fied cat. Now that I have it on my upper left arm, I am so happy to have a few of the things I personally love forever on my body. Thank you :) I definitely would recommend her. She's quick so the painful moments does not last as long. highly recommend!!

Very chill vibe and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. Lastly, being I am a virgin when it comes to tattoos, I was a little nervous and didn't know exactly what to expect. I had pondered a particular design for over 10 years. I happened to meet someone who had multiple tats showing on the subway and asked her out of the clear blue for her opinion. Well it must have been Good Karma. (Not Chappell Roan's Good Karma) Turns out Nicole is a tattoo artist and gave me a better idea for what I had been contemplating. Nicole gave me her card and we exchanged emails going over what came to be my final design. This put me over the edge and decided to pop my tattoo cherry. I booked my appointment with her. She took great care when doing my ink explaining everything as we went through the process. I really didn't find it hurting as other people have said to me when they got theirs. Kudos to Nicole if that's unusual for the process to not hurt. I am absolutely thrilled with the way it turned out! No doubt I would recommend Nicole for any artwork. She is truly amazing!

It's a permanent thing on your body so I would pay more ensure that it's done correctly anyway! The service here was amazing and everyone is incredibly knowledgeable and excited to work with you! 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!!
