Us asking for more information about the vague promotion

It was a little after 1pm. I asked a question about a tattoo for my girlfriend. The owner, Vaughn, started being rude and snarky. I apologized for the misunderstanding and told him "thanks for the clarification, I'll see you at 3 for my appointment" as I had my deposit down and he had work in progress to finish. He said "your appointment has been cancelled." I was SHOCKED. My appointment was in 2 hours... I asked him what he meant and he said I can "reschedule or pick up my deposit". I felt super uncomfortable and asked if we could talk about this. He dismissed my request and just waited for my answer. I wanted to get out of there so I took my deposit....now I have to finish my leg sleeves by someone else. I don't know what happened but I'm still uncomfortable about how it was all handled...not the kind of treatment I was used to by a "professional" Update: The next day, rather than reaching out to me directly about this review, he posts on social media slandering me using my full name.

Industrial piercing @TattooRitual in Farmingdale.
Victoria F.

I took my niece here to get her industrial pierced for her Birthday. We walked in and were welcomed and said the receptionist would be right with us. When she came in we went through everything and because my niece is a minor I had already filled out the required paperwork and had it notarized so we were all set. She was back in the chair within 5 minutes. Vaughn welcomed us asked her what she wanted to do and explained the process to her. She picked her jewelry and was pierced within a few minutes. Vaughn reviewed the after care with her and said if anything feels wrong to call or come into the shop right away. I appreciated that he spoke to my niece directly and not to me as the adult. Everyone practiced Covid safety in the shop and I felt totally comfortable. They were all nice and professional and I would recommend and go back to the shop again.

Both my tats done by Vaughn!

I've come to this shop twice within the last 3 years for both the tattoos I have. The first time I made an appointment and was tatted by Vaughn on my left hip. The second time was this last Saturday, without an an appointment, getting matching tats with my best friend. Both times, Vaughn was professional, patient, and friendly. And of course, did an AWESOME job. The one in my hip was around $200 and the one on my rib cage was $120. I plan on coming back for another before summer comes around!

I have been going to Vaughn for five years now and followed him to Tattoo Ritual from his previous shop. I have gotten work done by Vaughn, Jackie, and Kate and each tattoo comes out incredible. Every time I go to the shop it's like seeing old friends- great conversations and laughs. I could go into the shop with the wildest description of what I want and when I come in for my appointment the sketch is more amazing than I could have imagined. The small lion Vaughn did on my finger nearly five years ago has held up as if it is brand new and the same with the other tattoos I have had done here. Amazing shop, amazing people. I will never go anywhere else.

Snake tattoo I've done at tattoo ritual farmingdale NY !

Great tattoos * great prices * friendly environment * walk ins everyday for piercings!

Worst place to go too, charged me $140 for a finger tattoo and it took two hours and it faded. I had to go to a different place (Skin Deep Tattoo) in Massapeque and they charged me $80, it took them 25 min. Highly recommend Skin Deep Tattoo

Got a tattoo done here I love it she was very sweet I believe her name was Jackie, it was a couple years ago and it healed great I love it, but as for the piercer I would maybe find someone new, I took this photo of my rook last year and it was such a painful experience and I ended up taking it out right away and going to get it done somewhere else months later. The picture on the left was done at the shop and the one on the right was the "fixed" one. She was a very nice girl but needs more experience

Went there for a memorial piece in honor of my grandmother, and it was one of the best experiences. Vaughn was a pleasure to work with he wasvery friendly and knowledgeable. The other employees at the shop were very friendly and kind. The shop itself was very clean and well maintained. Will definitely go back in the future for the rest of my tattoos that I would like done.

Went to ritual back in 2017 for my first tattoo after waiting two years for some inspiration. I showed Vaughn some simple drawings, basic microsoft clip art type stuff, and presented my ideas and asked if he could "bring it to life". I came back in two weeks and boy did he deliver. Since then i have two more tats and still my first is my favorite. My friends and myself have received some incredible works here. Definitely recommend, they are a hardworking and talented staff. I plan on returning soon for some new ink!

My first tattoo. Done by Jackie. I am so pleased. The entire staff is knowledgeable and friendly.

I recently got inked for the FIRST time at Tattoo Ritual on the recommendation of a friend. First let me say the shop is GORGEOUS, it has SUCH a different feel from any other tattoo shop I had visited for a consultation. It has a warm, homey, sexy vibe (if homey and sexy makes any sense, lol). I want to live there, seriously! The staff was SO nice and patient with my nervous, tattoo virgin self as well. I was tattooed by a totally hot and talented woman named Scarlett who has a great portfolio and was very patient with me. My tattoo came out great! They seem very clean and nice and I will definitely be going back for my second tattoo!!! I *heart* Tattoo Ritual

Coverup by Kait.
Cathy G.

I visited Kate today to get my second tattoo from her. Her work is beyond amazing!!! She did a coverup on my wrist and you would never know by looking at the tattoo that is is a coverup. She took a picture of a mandala that I liked and created a masterpiece. She is a true artist. In addition to my tattoo, she did one for my daughter on her foot. Again, it's an amazing piece but what impressed me the most was the time she spent with my daughter going over the design and making sure that and placement was perfect. Given that it was my daughter's first tattoo, her knowledge and expertise was extremely comforting. I highly recommend Tattoo Ritual. The parlor is modern, clean, comfortable and the staff is friendly, extremely talented and very knowledgeable. If I could give Tattoo Ritual, Kate, Vaughn and Jackie 10 stars, I would. Of course, Kait would get 15 .

This tattoo shop is INCREDIBLE! It is unlike any other shop I've ever been to. The decor is just amazing, with wine colored walls, beautiful chandeliers, velvet furniture, dark wood floors and artwork to die for. Very inviting. The staff is beyond friendly, and very cool. They make you feel at home. I am in the middle of a huge back piece with Scarlet Sinclair. Now, I have a fair amount of tattoo's and have been "inked" by a few people in my time, but Scarlet has the softest touch! You can literally fall asleep in the chair because the environment is so relaxing and her energy is just so calming. She is incredibly talented, sweet, and straight-up AMAZABALLS! If you are thinking about getting a tattoo, GO HERE. In my opinion, there is no other shop.

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.

It was a great experience and would totally come back to him if I get another. The shading and colors he chose was amazing and he constantly asked about my comfort level. He made my first experience easy and great! Took a little less than 2hrs. And although the price was a bit on the high side, it's my body and permanent so.... And it turned out great. Definitely recommend!

She shared her thinking with us as she showed us the design, and it was cool to see all of the other reference images she pulled to come up with the design. Naty invited feedback, and patiently repositioned the stencil for both of us in order to get it just right. I felt like she gave us exactly what we asked for. Natalia's space was clean, the background music was chill, she clearly cared about sanitization, and she seemed to work at a good pace. She also cut a large piece of second skin to keep the fresh tattoo safe. Really, I've got nothing but good things to say about my experience, and I can't wait for my next one!
