Got a tattoo here spontaneously that turned out great :) The shop is very colorful inside and cozy and clean in the back, the staff are super friendly and chill, the register girl was very knowledgable and made me feel excited and trusted to get a tatt here. Def coming back! read more

Good vibes with Janda! She was on walk-ins that day, and just the night before I'd finally settled on Three Kings. My design was already thought out, making it easier for Janda to sketch and place. The longest part was getting the placement right! But she did great fine line work and the tattoo came out super cute! $200 in total, pretty reasonable, and like I said, good vibes! read more

What a great tattoo shop! Came here to get tatted by a guest artist , and everything was seamless. Quick signing release forms on the phone, quick string up, and everything was smooth. Very clean, very beautiful shop with nice workers as well. Highly recommend ! read more

I've gotten two medium sized tattoos at Three Kings. It's an amazing shop filled with great people. Everything is very clean and all of the tattoo artists are very nice. They kept talking about the design and color to make sure it turned out best as possible. I got my first and second tattoo both times by Simon. He's such a great dude and does solid work. I've loved both designs and will definitely be coming back. read more

I love this place. Have gotten several tattoos from Thom at this location and he's always been wonderful to work with (+ I get compliments on those tattoos all the time). Also, every time I'm in there, everyone is super nice and inclusive, which isn't always true of some tattoo shops. Their playlist is fire too. 10/10 would recommend. read more

The service at Three Kings Tattoo was phenomenal. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. They had a great playlist, it was a roomy shop and I can't wait to get more work done! read more

If I could give 100 stars I would! Customer service is immaculate here. Both my artist Thom and the Manager Matt went above and beyond for me. Coming in for my first tattoo it was intimidating but they made it a very enjoyable experience for me. Would recommend to any one living or visiting the Brooklyn area to get work done here! read more

I'm honestly very upset with the experience my mom, sister and I had at this shop. We came in for 3 matching tiny heart tattoos on our arms last week for my birthday as walk ins. We were setup with Ian. The initial interaction was okay, we were taken back quickly and were given a small heart stencil, we were told this was the smallest that could be done in red ink. Me and my mom agreed to the size, shape and color so we proceeded with the tattoo. After my tattoo was done, I loved it and thought it was perfect, I was very happy. Then we began to discuss my sister's tattoo and my sister was a little unsure of the size because she wanted it smaller. Ian told her that he couldn't do it any smaller in red, it would have to be black. My mom & I didn't like the tone he was using with my 18 year old sister, didn't make us feel comfortable at all especially being the only women in the shop at the time. We proceed with my mom's tattoo. Looks great on her too. My sister ends up waiting to see if we can get it done smaller somewhere else, and we did. It came out beautiful and healed perfectly fine. Moving on to the healing process. A week later and my mom & I's tattoos are very obviously infected and healing terribly. Pictures are included. We're not even sure what to do at this point beside antibiotic cream and hoping that they heal decently. We will most definitely be going somewhere else to have them touched up once completely healed. There was no positive experience with this shop in my opinion. read more

HIGHLY RECOMEND THREE KINGS TATTOO. 10 Stars. Everyone at the shop was friendly and welcoming. My artist was Jolie, she is fantastic a true proffessional and a wonderful artist. She can do it all. Bianca at reception is very welcoming and will get you all set up with your paperwok, she is top notch. The Owner/Manager reached out a couple of days after getting my tattoo, thats a sign of a true proffessional tattoo shop. I am definately going back to THREE KINGS TATTOO for my next tattoo and suggest you check them out if you are in the market for a great tattoo. C.M. read more

Had an awesome time getting my first tattoo at Three Kings in Brooklyn yesterday. Justin made me feel comfortable and helped to guide me on my decision. The piece I wanted was kind of aggressive for a first tattoo, so I made the call to get something more traditional and he drew up a custom dagger for me that came out perfectly. The shop itself is unpretentious and super welcoming; other artists stopped in to see what Justin was working on and you can tell they are supportive of each other. I kept my deposit with them since I know I'll be coming back! read more

Had a great experience here. My daughter and I both got a tattoo. She had an appointment and I was a walk-in. Staff was friendly, the place is spotless. Freida was our artist and did an amazing job, she gives great coffee/food recommendations! read more

New to tattoos and didn't have any of idea of where to go so hit google for some suggestions to get a Paddington one I have been wanting. Three Kings kept popping up and only a 15 minute drive, stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. Met Ramiro and told him my idea. He showed me his work and everything looked awesome so we set an appointment two weeks out. He said he was excited to work on the piece, which me being a newbie to it, definitely was reassuring and made me feel comfortable. Went in on Saturday to get it done and I couldn't be happier with the results. All in took somewhere between an hour and a half and two hours. But it felt like half the time. He kept checking in to make sure I was comfortable and if i needed any breaks. I did not want to look at the progress and just be surprised by the end result. At one point, he asked the fellow artists their opinions on how they would approach some of the shading which was cool seeing the collaboration and wanting to get the best possible results. When all was done, it blew me away. It is my first one with color and the way they pop are awesome. Have a couple more in mind currently and after this one, as well as the rest of his work, will 100% be going back. The studio itself is great too. Very clean, comfortable and all the staff is nice and welcoming. 10/10 read more

Hi! I've been getting tattooed at Three Kings for over 10 years now. They've always been extremely professional, kind, and good at what they do. Which is why I keep coming back :) Last week a friend of mine who was visiting from out of town and I decided we wanted to get matching tattoos. We weren't able to make it to the shop until pretty close to the end of the day, and Ian was able to squeeze us in for our little matching birds at like 9pm. We really appreciated him and the shop making it work on such short notice. We'll be back again for sure, either next summer or sooner! Thanks Three Kings! We love you! read more

I had a wonderful experience with a small tattoo I just got. I initially messaged via DM on Instagram to get pricing and discuss my tattoo idea, they promptly responded with all the details I needed to call and set up a consultation with a tattoo artist. I called a few days later and they had availability for walkins so I made my way in. Once I arrived, Juan the tattoo artist was able to see me immediately. The consultation was so smooth and easy and he was able to do exactly what I wanted, to the point that it looked just like the print out!! And he was able to do my small tattoo in about 15 minutes. I was in and out like a breeze. What mostly stood out to me was the customer service. From the initial Instagram DM to the final payment, they were consistent and genuinely kind. I love this because I naturally expect tattoo shops to be grungy and semi-rude, but that was not the case here! They've earned a lifetime customer. Juan, in particular, is so good with thin lines and made my minimalist tattoo look nice and crisp. read more

My experience at Three Kings was absolutely top notch. Justin took my vague idea and created a custom design that I've already gotten a ton of compliments on. He's an amazing artist and makes you feel so comfortable at every step of the process. The studio itself has a great vibe as well. From the art and flash on the walls to the fun playlist to the fact that there were tampons in the bathroom (like, this was a space where women were intentionally made to feel welcome!), Three Kings is just a great place to get a a tattoo. 10/10 would recommend anyone thinking of getting a tattoo to both work with Justin and work with Three Kings. read more

I've wanted my FIRST tattoo FOREVER. It's seriously been the same vision for years: same wording, in the same font, in the same location. I've been putting it off due to fear (read: being a little bitch), but this year, for my birthday, I wanted to FINALLY DO IT. Spontaneously called 3Kings because they had good reviews and the Greenpoint location was most convenient. Walked in so freaking apprehensively on what felt like the hottest day of the year in July. I was seriously hyperventilating at one point. I knew it was so stupid of me to feel that way and I tried to push it off and not embarras myself too much. Front desk staff was somewhat sympathetic and nice (read: wide-eyed, mouth-opened "this bitch is nuts" kinda thought process), brought Shea over (amazing eyes and covered up head to toe!!!) He gave me some tough love, I'll be honest! I didn't like it at first and was all like, "ew ok no wtf? I'm outta here, f this!" but I'm SO GLAD I got over myself (!!!) did it and most importantly, the tat itself came out awesome, too!!!!! Great overall experience! Clean & professional place! It only took 33 years to grow a pair and do this. Couldn't be happier and more proud of myself. Life teaches you so many things about yourself when you choose to be open, take a chance and most importantly, always be true to yourself. Thanks Shea for the swift kick in the ass (dose of realness) I needed to go through with it!! read more

My daughter and I came upon this amazing find while in the area. She got tattooed by Juan and loved it. I made an appt with Juan and had to reschedule due to previous appointment. Let me say that the artists., the staff, the owner are the friendliest .kindest ppl one could hope to meet. No pretensions . Just truly beautiful work in a very welcoming environment. They did a tattoo that I've wanted in honor of my mom. Stunning work. I already have my next tattoo planned and will go nowhere else but Three Kings. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to all at this shop. A special shout out to Juan. Love my new work!! read more

I had an amazing experience getting tattooed by Justin. I've worked with him before but this was my first time at Three Kings. From start to finish the process was seamless, from getting a spot, to the day of, the team at the shop was awesome and organised. I was so excited to see Justin's new spot and loved the space immediately. Everyone was friendly, interesting to talk to, and really genuinely kind. The shop itself was super clean and has a great vibe with amazing art and flash on the walls. I no longer live in the U.S. but will have to make my way to the London shop soon. Of course, Justin is an amazing artist and just all around great guy. I love working with him. This piece was extra special for me too so it was really cool to have him do it-- and he didn't even mind when I teared up (with happiness) when I saw the finished piece on my arm. He is such an insanely talented artist so if you want fine-line or a traditional piece, he's your man. read more

Finally got a tattoo by Kalatu after following her work for years. She was just as amazing in person and the appointment went perfectly. The front desk assistant was friendly, the shop was following safety standards, there was lots of great art to look at, and the other artists accommodated some walk-ins quickly & with great work. More of a classic tattoo studio vibe than some of the contemporary shops popping up around Brooklyn. read more

I had a really great experience here! I got my second tattoo here and I love it! First, the shop is beautiful. You can tell everything is well taken care of and clean. I was waiting on a comfy couch and admiring the artwork on the walls. Also, it was snowing heavily and they managed too keep the floors dry so no one would slip. Next, they were open on a bad snow day! They still kept my appointment! How can I not give five stars when these poor people kept open in terrible weather and kept my appointment time?? I got tattooed by Gia. I wanted a serotonin molecule but not just a plain molecule so I asked if she could jazz it up a bit. I love what she came up with (photos to come). It ended up bigger than i originally envisioned, but I'm glad it is!! I think it ended up being the perfect size. Finally, Leigh at the front desk was very helpful and welcoming. She put my coat and everything in the back for me, which is definitely more than I expected. It was also fun to get tattooed by Gia, great conversation. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you want a tattoo. The people are great, the shop is beautiful, and of course the tattooing is amazing. read more

I've had an idea for another tattoo for a few years, but hadn't found the right shop or artist to pull it off. I heard about Three Kings and looking through the artists' portfolios, it seemed like I had finally found the spot. Fortunately--very fortunately in the case of a tattoo--I was right. The shop has brilliant art all around, music that's just loud enough, and a friendly and professional staff. Tom nailed the illustration of the design I wanted, and went to work after a brief setup. The tattoo turned out perfectly and I'll certainly be back! read more

Loved going here to get a tattoo done by Matt Adamson, everyone there was super friendly and the artwork is awesome. The shop is very professional and clean. Had some super cool apparel done by artists at the shop ! Highly recommend read more

I spent a lot of time honing in on an artist that felt right to me and Matt Adamson did not disappoint! I couldnt be happier with the results. The whole reservation process was clear and efficient. Great communication from the team. The studio is clean and welcoming. No surly attitudes or too-cool for school vibes. Matt worked with me to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I'll be returning here in the future. read more

My son and I were traveling for the holiday. We decided to get a mother/son tattoo. It was our lucky day when we stumbled upon THREE KINGS TATTOO. They were able to get us both in with only a 3 hour wait. Lorena did an amazing job on both of our tattoos. Brilliant work, easy banter, and great post care instructions. The fella working at the front desk was very helpful as well. read more

I've had a mixed set of interactions at Three Kings. On the positive side, everything's clean and they take hygiene seriously. You don't have to worry about anything sketchy here when it comes to your health. It's a big shop, which means they have a lot of artists and there's usually someone really cool guesting here from out of town, so it pays to keep an eye on their IG. On the negative side, it feels very much like a "chain" tattoo parlor. There's a high rate of artist turnover, so your experience with walk-ins will be kind of inconsistent. Sometimes you'll get stuck with someone who will complain about the design you chose during your entire tattoo. Other times you'll get someone really competent and nice. It makes it hard to recommend the place to anyone. Also, and this might have been a one time thing, but I had a really strange experience in the waiting room in 2018. There was a white guy with a buzzcut there who was pretty obviously an undercover cop. He was asking anyone who walked into the waiting room if they knew where to buy weed. Every now and then, an artist would come out, they'd talk about a design for an eagle tattoo, the artist would react comically frustrated, and then the artist would leave. The guy was really pushy about asking me if I knew where to buy some "kid cudi", which I still laugh about to this day. Overall, you're probably better off supporting a smaller shop that doesn't have six locations. read more

Came here around May 2021 to have a new tattoo done which was of my new born childrens foot prints. Orrin was my artist and by far, one of the coolest people I ever met. He did my tattoos fast and they came out great. Throughout the sessions, we shared life stories which was pretty cool to be honest. If anyone comes here, please give Orrin a chance do your tatt. You wont be disappointed. Im super happy I came to get this done. read more

AMAZING experience! I had my first tattoo ever done here. I was greeted with a very positive, clean, and inviting atmosphere. The staff was friendly and kind, and my tattoo artist, Steff, was nothing short of excellent. My tattoo was impeccable and exactly what I wanted. I had asked for my tattoo to be in the center of my chest- which is a difficult place to tattoo- and my tattoo is PERFECTLY in the center, with clean lines and nearly impeccable symmetry. I'm so glad I chose Three Kings LA, and I highly recommend Steff for any sacred geometry or calligraphy you want. read more

Great experience and this was my 8th tattoo. Lexi at the front desk was the best as was our artist Ian.

First tattoo, and I couldn't be happier with the way things went. I called ahead, was told that for my tattoo I'd be fine as a walk-in and that I needed to bring cash. I went there the next day and got seated with Gustavo, with zero wait-time. He was great: no long and lengthy discussion involved. He asked me what I wanted, gave me a price estimate, helped me flesh out the idea a bit, made sure I was happy with the sketch and sat me down in the chair immediately. As soon as I was comfortable, he set to work, and finished my tattoo (a black triforce at the center of my upper back) in less than an hour. I went in assuming I'd have to bite my lip and deal with some pain, as part of the tattoo had to go over the spine / bone, but he was excellent. Was barely in "pain" at all. As soon as we were done, he carefully and patiently explained how I was supposed to take care of my skin as it healed: what products to use, how long and often to apply them to my skin, when I could start exercising again, etc. The only minor mishap was that I either put on a bit too much product or sweat too much during the first 2 weeks of healing, so there's a teeny, tiny smudge of less-dark black on the tattoo. Probably could have been avoided if I'd just sit still and been extra careful for that time period. If I get another tattoo, I'm going back to Three Kings for sure. Well worth the expense (about $360, tip included). read more

I am really happy with my tattoo and my experience with Three Kings. Amanda and the receptionist were so kind and helpful from the beginning to the very end. I emailed first and Amanda worked with me to create something I wanted that was also realistic with my price point and body placement. I felt the quote was fair and she honored it when it was time to pay. I scheduled my tattoo a few months before my appointment. My boyfriend also wanted to get one on the same day and they were able to accommodate him with another artist. (Which I will note was a very different, still good, experience from mine). We were coming out of town to visit NYC for Christmas so we were excited that the scheduling all worked out. We took the metro and it was only a block or two walk. Very convenient. We stopped to get bao buns beforehand and there were many restaurants and quick stops to get snacks and water. The shop itself was clean, spacious, comfortable, and warm feeling. I walked in and thought it was nice to smell the Christmas tree they had up at the front. There was also a returning customer there who seemed friendly and excited to be there. I was very very nervous to get my fairly large color tattoo but because everyone was so awesome, I was settled after a few minutes. My boyfriend was also helpful so I recommend bringing one friend if you know you're someone who needs it. Amanda is so talented and specializes in floral/insect tattoos and I recommend looking at her online portfolio on her website and instagram. She is very understanding and patient and super chill with the tattooing process. She used cocoa butter and Bactine which I appreciated and when it got really painful she helped me by spraying more Bactine and talking me through it. She didn't mind me taking breaks, nervously talking, or eating my snacks. My only complaint is the metal fold up chair that they had for customers to sit on. I sat for a few hours and it was not comfortable. In hindsight, I wish I brought a cushion. Otherwise, I felt really comfortable the whole time which for me was very important. When I was finished, she gave me Tegaderm, a hug, and took pictures for me. I was super happy and was already thinking about my next tattoo . read more

Great experience. Communication was great! So quick and thorough. I even made last minute changes and they were able to communicate that to my artist so he was ready. Shop is big, nice and clean. Love that it's open Sundays too. Entire process was smooth and seamless from the inquiry message to deposit to getting the piece done. I specially asked for my artist (Juan) based off a previous review showing his fine line and minimal work, which is what I originally wanted. I added to the piece last minute and he rolled with it. He was nice, patient and so helpful with the placement as I wanted it a different place but he placed the design on me in several Spots and helps me to choose the right spot. I love it. And he was so quick i couldn't even believe when we were finished! I love it so much can't stop looking at it. Pic was right after we were done. Gave me after care instructions and can't wait till it's all healed. Thanks Juan. read more

I've had the pleasure of getting five tattoos at the Three Kings East Village location and decided to check out the Williamsburg spot yesterday as a walk-in to get a tattoo for my birthday. As always, it was a great experience. My artist Ian was so incredibly friendly, professional, and did an amazing job bringing what I wanted to life. From fine line work, to florals, text and everything in between, I love all of my tattoos and they healed perfectly with the at home care instructions I was given by the artists. Great vibes all around, I couldn't have more positive things to say. If you're in the NYC area looking for a tattoo - be sure to check out Three Kings! read more

The easiest and best experience I could ask for when getting a tattoo. The most welcoming vibe from the entire staff. Everyone was so kind, informative, and I even got to enter in a raffle when I followed up to ask for tips on taking care of my fresh tat. Really recommend for anyone, especially first timers. It's truly sweet! read more

Great tattooing experience. I am delighted with the product and I had an enjoyable time sitting with Alex--who tattooed both me and my wife masterfully.

Couldn't be happier with the excellent service @ Three Kings Tattoo. My son is heading back to college for his junior year this week and has been expressing his interest in getting his first tattoo for quite some time. I myself already had 2 done years ago, and never lost the itch to expand the ink on my body. We put some thought into it, and I went to work on talking with friends/researching the most reputable shop in town. I sent an an inquiry online and had an appointment the following day with Orrin. We explained the design and placement preferences , and the professionals took over. Our consultation was on Friday 8/14 and our appointments were made on Monday 8/17. Typically my son and I travel somewhere different every year around this time however given the circumstances, this year our options were very limited. We opted to both get a compass tattoo that represents our passion for traveling and could not be happier with the results. I even discussed getting my next tattoo with Orrin. The folks at Three Kings were awesome to do business with and can't wait to go back. Signed a happy college student and his proud pops. read more

The morning I visited Three Kings I had some tattoo jitters, but as soon as I stepped foot in the door and met their friendly and accommodating staff I was quickly put at ease. The vibe at Three Kings is laid back while at the same time highly professional (not to mention the shop itself is immaculately clean) so I knew I was in good hands. I came in with my own drawing that I wanted rendered as a tattoo, and my artist, Brian Bower, helped me pick the perfect size and placement for it based on the general idea I gave him. Brian is the nicest guy and incredibly talented. He made sure I was comfortable during the tattoo process and offered valuable insight into how we could make my design look its best at the size I had chosen. The end result of his tattoo is fantastic and I am already plotting my next tattoo at Three Kings. Could not recommend more! read more
