I'm kinda tatted up. Like I'm now at over 30 tattoos. I've had the opportunity to have a variety of…read moreexperiences to know what makes this shop a top tier business. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have this tattoo collective right in my neighborhood. When I first noticed the shop early last year, I promptly looked it up and recognized some of the artists that I'd already been following on social media. Sarah Cortese is the business owner and she has created a great space that feels inclusive, safe, and creative. She's clearly dedicated to the community they serve. I recommend checking out the work of all the Black Dahlia Tattoo artists to discover who works in the style that interests you. I've just completed my 2nd tattoo with Victoria Mesi and am already plotting my next piece. Each visit to the shop has felt like visiting friends, it's incredibly comfortable. I appreciate that there's sinks throughout the shop to maintain best hygiene practices. The team is diligent with sanitary measures like wrapping the table. Details matter. You're in great hands here. There's some powerhouse artists doing exquisite work. Good people doing good art.

He's extremely friendly and seriously cares about his work and his clients. He always does the most to make sure you're comfortable while getting your tattoo. His designs and work always looks absolutely amazing and hold up extremely well. The 2 times I've been there the other artists who've been in the shop at the time were always friendly as well. If you're looking into getting a tattoo you won't regret going with any of the artists at this shop. I already can't wait to return to finish my second tattoo.

I said no and he decided the tattoo wasn't happening. To which I said "yea im uncomfortable" He did not respond and I left his space behind him. Before the stencil was even thought up he interrupted what I was saying a few times. Which is very annoying when all he was saying was "yea let's do this" and "sure give me the old talk" and just saying nothing worth cutting me off. As I walked out none of the other, all male, artists apologized for him making me uncomfortable and began to talk shit on my way out the door. If you don't like bad energy towards your tattoos, I wouldn't bother here. The receptionist on the other hand she was alright. I hope she's ok in that work environment. After this uncomfortable situation happened, I went over the bridge to Philadelphia to get a tattoo I deserved. Without any issue about my shirt being on or off. Validating how uncomfortable I felt. Thank you for reading take from this what you will.

I love this place! I come here very often and it feels like home. Everyone is kind and helpful​read more

Not only do I LOVE the tattoo, the care, attention to detail & compassion that Tami Rose gave, was just as important. It was so evident how important it was for her to, 'get it right', while clearly explaining what the craft can & cannot do - long term. I'm so grateful. In addition, hearing the way she spoke of 12 Oz Studios & the positive culture - especially for women - was So great to hear and another reason to give this place a shout out. Please stop in, check them out! 12 Oz Studios Tattoo & Piercing - Brooklawn & Deptford. I know I'm already planning my next one!!
