I have gotten multiple tattoos from Pat, who is one of the nicest tattoo artists I have ever met. He does fantastic work and has amazing creative vision. His versatility and use of color is truly outstanding. I have gotten tattoos from multiple artists, but he is by far my favorite one to work with. As a whole, the shop is great. It has a beautiful, old-fashioned layout. I frequently chat with the other artists (Paul and Shawn) and piercer (Dan) in the ship who are also very nice and make the whole experience always fantastic. This is by far the best shop I've been to in the almost 10 years I've been getting tattoos done. I could not recommend them enough. read more

I did not have a good experience here. After an expensive tragus piercing and faithfully adhering to care instructions, I discovered the piercing too close to the edge. It ripped through and now I am scarred for life. I am still looking for solutions before resorting to surgery. read more

I loved my experience at Shaman's Den. I've never been to an actual tattoo shop/ piercing studio to get a piercing and was nervous. Dan was incredible and informative. I got my Tragus pierced along with a second ear lobe piercing. As well as my mom got 2 piercings too. It was a quick process. The studio was clean along with the instruments and I could tell that he takes pride in his work. I can't wait to go back for my future piercings!!! read more

I went to get nipple piercings today and have nothing but good things to say about Dan the piercer. I really thought I would feel uncomfortable with a male piercer but that was not my experience. First off the piercer has amazing energy and you literally will feel so calm about getting your piercing. I felt very comfortable and the piercing itself was near painless. Dan explained everything in detail and provided an after care pamphlet. I had nothing but a good experience and will definitely come back here in the future! read more

I cannot give this shop a higher rating. I have never been disappointed with anything here. They are exceptionally clean, knowledgeable, and friendly. I have been coming here since I was a teenager to get pierced by Dan and I wouldn't go to anyone else. My most recent tattoos have been done by Pat who is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Coming here is more than just them providing a service. It's an entire experience. Everyone at the shop is social, talks to you, asks how you're doing/what you're up to, the clients talk to each other. It's just a really nice atmosphere. If you want to get something done right, you come here. Thanks guys and gals for everything you do! read more

The Shaman's Den - Tattoo Near Me - Johnson City , New York

This place is really nice it's clean and everyone is really friendly and knowledgeable. I had a great relationship with my tattoo artist Paul. He's done both of my tattoos and he takes pride in his work. For the picture I posted (line work on the left fully conpleted product after second session on the right) it took about 8 hours to do just the line work and Paul did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend going there for your next tattoo. read more

Shaman's Den is the ONLY place I trust for tattoos and piercings! I've been tattooed by Pat, Paul, and Abby, and all are incredibly sweet and talented.Shawn and Kevin do amazing work and I can't wait to get tattooed by them one day soon. Dan has done my most recent piercings and I will never go to anyone else again. He's extremely knowledgable about everything you want to know about piercings and will honestly tell you if he can do its or not. I have both sides of my nostrils pierced (at different times) and he took the time to try to match them up with measuring equipment and everything. All the guys (and girl lol) are super attentive to what you want and always take their time and put their all into every piece. Overall, a professional and clean environment with an impressive team. I can't thank them enough for my beautiful skin! read more

Had my nose done 11 years ago here, ( I was 16) :) Professional, clean and calm environment, The staff is knowledgeable and caring. The best tattoo place in Broome County PERIOD read more

I cannot fully express my gratitude to Dan, his shop and his employees. They immediately made me feel at ease & welcome in the shop. When I met Dan, he was courteous, informative and really listened to what I wanted and hoped for out of this experience. He is so calming to be around, and quelled all of the anxieties that I have found many piercing shops to stir up (a result of my own lack of knowledge with choices before) The entire process was easy, informative and completely fun to go through. If you are hesitant to make an apt someplace, just go ahead and do it here. You won't regret it. read more

Sean did a tattoo in honor of my grand daughter that had passed (7 most old) and it turned out GREAT. he's the only one I will go to !!

When I got my nipples pierced, I always intended to change the jewelry sooner rather than later. Two years went by and I still hadn't done it. Finally, I was tired of looking at captive bead rings, and I had a few bucks to spare. The obvious place to go? Shaman's Den! The shop was clean, well-lit, and really busy even on a Thursday at 2 PM. Everyone who was there seemed happy with the work they were having done. I picked out my new jewelry and went to the back with Dan, the piercer. Dan is a member of the Association of Professional Piercers, he's got various certifications to reassure you that he knows what he is doing, and he's just a nice, easygoing guy. While it can be awkward to have a stranger poking at your tits, Daniel put me at ease pretty quickly. He was quiet and efficient, and he laughed a lot as I bantered with the friend who had accompanied me. I was really happy with my experience here, and I will be back any time I need new jewelry. If I end up getting a tattoo, this is going to be the first place I look into. read more

I just had my third tat done by Paul. He has always been very professional. He will answer any questions you have to help you be more at ease. I gave him ideas of the tats that I wanted to get and he came up with great designs that I loved. The ones I had done a couple of years ago still look as great as when they were done. The entire staff are all easy going and nice.they talk and joke around. The place is very clean and when they get ready to start you can see how everything is sterile. I would recommend them to anyone that wants to get a tat or a piercing. read more

Shamans den is absolutely awesome. Writing this review a long while after j first got my nose piercing, but my experience was so good that I remember it very well. My friend went in to get her conch and I went in to get my nostril done. They had us sign a consent initially and show ID. The guys there took all the time in the world with each case. It was my first facial piercing ever and first piercing in a while but they talked me through everything and kept me from wimping out. While they were setting up they even explained what they were doing. Everything was so clean and my experience was so wonderful overall. read more

The guys at The Shaman's Den are AWESOME. I've been tattooed by Paul for my first tattoo and he was more than accommodating. His artistic abilities are amazing and captured exactly what I wanted when I couldn't describe it. He was understanding when I needed a break or two! Id highly recommend his work to anyone getting a tattoo. I have been pierced by Dan twice and I can't imagine going anywhere else. He walks you through step-by-step whats going on and shows you the clean materials. I feel great getting any modifications from these guys because of how clean and friendly they are. Thank you guys and keep being awesome! read more

I recommend Shaman's Den for anyone who wants to get a piercing! I've gotten my nose, ear, and nipples pierced by Dan there and every time has been a great experience. He is very professional and makes the whole experience very comfortable and pleasant! Everything is very clean, and sterile. Dan gives great instructions for aftercare and gives you his contact information in case you have any questions. Couldn't have asked for anything better! I haven't gotten any tattoos there so I can't speak to how the tattoo artists are unfortunately. read more

Really excellent service! I went in to get my nose pierced. I'm a huge baby when it comes to pain, and the staff did everything they could to make me feel comfortable. The place was super clean and professional. The guy walked me through each step so nothing was a surprise. The feeling wasn't pain so much as pressure. By the time I "felt" it, he was already done! This was a really impulsive (and unlike-me) decision and I couldn't be happier with it. They also had a nice selection of jewelry and a cool atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place. read more

My friend and I got piercings from Daniel the other day and could not be happier with them. I was nervous about it but he was so kind and calming and made the whole experience a lot easier for me. He is very knowledgable and answered all our questions about care. I'll be getting all piercings done here from now on! read more

I've been here 4x to get pierced or tattooed thus far and a few times to be moral support for my friends and every single time I leave so happy. The staff here is so wonderful. They are absolutely professional and clean and know how to deal with people. I have friends from all over who tell me to try their tattoo and piercing joints but I have gone out of my way to see the guys at the Shaman's Den because I trust them so much. So enjoy whatever work you get done here, I'm sure it'll be great! read more

I had such a pleasant experience at The Shaman's Den! I got my nostril pierced there in August, and have had no issues or any infection/irritation. The process was quick and easy, and Daniel was very educated and kind during the whole thing! Will definitely going back for my next piercing! read more

The guys at The Shaman's den are amazing! And I'm not only talking about artistic talent, but personality, friendliness, and customer service. The list goes on and on. For many years I have only went to see Shawn, Dan, and Paul for all my tattoo and piercing needs. When you make an appointment with one of these guys, you receive exceptional customer service. And their shop is beautiful and incredibly clean. Yes, you may have to make an appointment and wait a bit, but it is worth the wait. By far the cleanest and most professional shop in the area. And they are hilarious. They tell you jokes and make you laugh the entire time you're there. I am always made to feel comfortable and treated like a good friend when I visit The Shaman's Den. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Not gonna lie, when I first walked into this place I was terrified. I had never been in a tattoo studio before and was intimidated by the tough-ass look of the place. I went there with a few friends to get piercings done and my friends said this was the best piercing place in the area. It was a great experience! I was taken to a private room in the back that looked like a doctor's office and was shown how each instrument is sterile. I had my nose pierced and it barely hurt. The person doing it (I forgot his name!) was extremely professional and clearly knew what he was doing. I was a little dizzy afterwards, since I get light headed easily, and the piercer gave me an ice pop. This was back in 2010 when I was a student at Binghamton. Sadly I no longer have a nose ring. For a while I was debating piercing it again, but I'm nervous to go to a different place after having such a wonderful experience the first time around. I have actually debated taking the long trip back to Binghamton just for another piercing. read more

Clean and awesome shop. Everyone is nice there and talk with you the whole time and make you feel welcomed. High quality artist who do amazing work! read more

Have been here multiple times and never left disappointed. The shop is extremely clean and everyone is fun to be around and very knowledgeable! read more

Incredible talent & professional! Most reputable tattoo & piercing business i know! I love my tattoos & my jewelry that i get there. Is the only place i recommend getting work done with. read more

Super professional. Got my septum and didn't feel it at all. Dustin is awesome.

The Shaman's Den is the BEST, most professional tattoo parlor in the area, hands down. They are professionals, and won't just slap a tattoo on anyone without knowing that it will stand the test of time, and that it actually looks good (amazing, actually). They are for real artists and you will NOT be disappointed. read more

I went into Shaman's den looking for a simple, plain sterling silver tongue ring, standard gauge and length. Nothing fancy. Before leaving home for the store, I removed my tongue ring and thoroughly sterilized it with hot water and then rubbed it down in rubbing alcohol, so I could demonstrate what gauge of tongue ring I wanted (because I couldn't remember off the top of my head what gauge it was). When I went in and held out the tongue ring in the palm of my hand, Dan - the piercing guy - looked at me like I'd just spit up a hair ball on his counter. When I asked about their selection, Dan scoffed at me and pointed at the glass case and told me what was there was what they had. There were like five tongue rings. When I pressed the issue, he got an attitude and said that they had so many tongue ring selections that it would be stupid to keep them all in the case. Stupid to display to your customer all of their buying options? I'd call that common sense. How can I decide to buy something I haven't even seen? He refused to bring any out from the back room so I could see. He was terribly rude and made me feel very uncomfortable. I was so uncomfortable that I felt pressured to make a selection impulsively just so I could leave quickly. I ended up buying a $27 tongue ring which, to me, is ridiculous for a simple, standard sterling silver tongue ring. I had considered getting piercings done here but after being treated so rudely, the thought of even standing outside the door makes me feel unwelcome. I honestly think they take advantage of the fact that they're one of the only certified piercing establishments in the area, which makes them feel entitled to treat you like crap. They're only option! Don't like it? Too bad. read more

I had a tattoo done here and I was really happy with the results. The place is really clean and comfortable to be in. The staff is really fun to be around and they really do love what they are doing! They are very professional and I love the environment. Paul designed something for me and it was great. What I loved about the place was that the people were very honest with you and because of their skill, I really felt that I could trust their judgement! read more

The guy that does the piercings was awesome and professional, but Shane is unreliable. He kept postponing my appointment, then didn't return my messages. I sensed he didn't want to do my tattoo but didn't have to balls to say so. I won't be going back. read more

An amazing shop! Run by professional, knowledgeable individuals with a passion for their crafts. A clean environment, conveniently located, staffed with highly skilled folks!! This is not your "Buy on get one" $15.00 piercing shops that are a dime a dozen nowadays. The pricing reflects the beautiful quality of work you will receive! I've been pierced here 6 times as well as had 4 tattoos done and every experience was awesome! Ex: Dan pierced my sternum almost 9 years ago. 2 months back I had my first child via emergency c-section, before which the doctor made me remove ALL body jewelry. I was confident I could probably get my sternum's surface bar back in afterwards, due to its age. Welp...I was wrong. It wouldn't go back in to save my life! When I was released from the hospital 2 days later I stopped by the local "reputable" shop here in MD where the man there told me to "let it heal for 2 weeks and come back to have it repierced". Uh, no. The next day I made the 5 hour drive back to NY to visit Dan. Within 15 minutes he got the jewelry back in place, thus saving my beloved sternum piercing and making me one happy momma! :) I can't say enough nice things about this establishment and their wonderful staff!!! :) read more
