10 Thousand Foxes takes tattoos very seriously, and you will be DELIGHTED that they do. Everyone there understands that the decision to get your skin permanently inked should never be spur of the moment, so the multi-step process they use insures that you will be thrilled with the result. After making initial contact, I emailed the shop's manager, Nichole, who is supes gracious and a hoot, with the text and font of the ink I wanted. From there, I set up a consultation with the very talented artist who worked on me, Jaime Morales, to go over the design, where I wanted it placed, to estimate a price, and to ask any questions I might have about the process. One of the things I really respect about their operation is that their artists will be up front with you if something you want is not a good idea or may not stand the test of time. Since this was my first tattoo, I had a lot of questions, and Jaime was incredibly patient with me. Before I left, we set up my appointment to get inked. When I arrived that day, Jaime sat down with me again to compare sizes of the design he had created, and to make sure I was comfortable with placement. I won't get into the weeds about the process, except to say it was very precise, done with surgical cleanliness, and you leave with explicit instructions on caring for your tattoo moving forward. They also welcome questions you may have after the procedure. I am super happy with the results, and I can't recommend 10 Thousand Foxes more highly. FINALLY, DON'T FORGET: If you love your ink, tip your artist at least 20 percent. read more

Let me start with the boring stuff before I get to the WOW! The place is spotless. Great care is taken to make sure everything thing is clean, sterile and bright. No worries there. 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! read more

This review is alone based on my conversation with both a Lexy and a Nicole just now. I called to make an appt for a tattoo as I was referred by a good friend of mine and off the back I was put on hold and as I asked questions Lexy was condescending and I guess couldn't answer any more that she transferred me to a Nicole who was the same way so honestly I don't even want the tattoo anymore ... they never even emailed me the survey and it's been over 20 minutes since we hung up. Please do better in your customer service because both Lexy and Nicole give this place 0 stars from me. read more

My sweet pup of 14 years passed this year and I knew it was time to get my first tattoo as a memorial piece to him. It has been a very hard few weeks and I knew this was something I really wanted to do so I could see his face everyday forever because he had the best smile. I saw Nasa's work on Instagram and I knew she would be the perfect person for it. I send them a few reference photos, gave some some idea suggestions. I had a Facetime meeting with Nasa just to talk through everything and scheduled my appointment for one month later. The whole experience was amazing. All COVID precautions were taken, everybody at the shop was super sweet and chill. It made my first experience super comfortable. I can't begin to tell you how incredible my Tattoo came out. I am posting my photo reference as well as my final piece and you will see how insanely detailed and amazing Nasa's work is! Thank you so so much. It is better than i could have ever hoped for! read more

Wow!! What can I say! Went to Tim today at 10 Thousand Foxes Tattoo. Tim has been doing my tattoos for over 15 years! He is a true master !! The tattoo I got today was a long time coming. I was the basketball coach at P.S. 65 in the Bronx for over thirty years! The team won the district championship in 2015. I dreamed of getting this tattoo for so many years and finally Tim made it a reality! Unfortunately one of my players just yesterday was killed in a gang related incident. Jordany was not a gang member but was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was a great point guard and an inspiration to his team. Tim did the basketball team logo on my leg and I couldn't be happier. It is a tribute to Jordany who will be sorely missed! R.I.P ! Tim as always directs you thru the entire process and us such a professional. His staff are dolls and always pleasant. Lexy and Nicole always treat you like a king!! Tim is a master craftsman. If you are thinking of getting a tattoo in Queens Tim's place is the only one you should consider. I can't even express in words his talent with the tattoo machine! He is a true true artist! Today's tattoo is in memory of Jordany and Tim made me proud to have it on my leg! Tattooing with Tim makes your experience amazing. Communication is important and Tim always answers your questions with passion! Just incredible! Tim thank you for making my tribute tattoo so so excellent! See you soon!!!! read more

I think I've only ever left like 3 reviews in my life, but 10 Thousand Foxes is just an impeccable business and worth amplifying. I think tattoo places can be pretty intimidating spaces for women sometimes, but the people who work here are just unbelievably friendly, professional, and respectful. I got a tattoo from Rachel (@rmf_doom on Instagram) and she did such a stellar job, I came back 2 weeks later for another one by her! And not that that this should matter for something that you're getting permanently inked onto your body--but the prices are super reasonable. read more

I went here for my first tattoo and I couldn't be happier! Not only did the artist do a beautiful job, but the place was very very clean and cute, and they even offer coffee or water while you wait. I'm definitely going back- I just have to decide on a design for my next tatt! read more

After a recent experience with Body Language, I'd definitely recommend to friends looking for a tattoo, and would certainly return for more ink in the future. Had an idea to pay tribute to one of my favorite restaurants in Paris--L'Avant Comptoir--and they were quick to get me in with Nasa after coordinating our schedule. They had fair pricing and I was in-and-out on my appointment day within about 90 minutes. The tattoo came out just as I imagined, which is about all you can ask for. If you're searching for a great place for a tattoo--even if you don't live in Queens--you should take a gander here before making any decisions. read more

For Christmas 2021 my boyfriend gave me a $300 gift certificate to this tattoo parlor. He is a client of Tim's, the owner. A few weeks ago I went in for a consultation. I discussed my vision with Tim and another artist, Noah. I wanted to add three shamrocks to a series of three butterflies I had. I made my appointment with Noah. He drew up three four leaf clovers and asked if I would be interested in some red ink in the background. Being that he is an artist I trusted his vision, and my tattoos came out awesome. Not only was I impressed by his artistic ability, but he was extremely friendly and not once did I feel uncomfortable. I had a great experience at 10 Thousand Foxes. The staff is professional and friendly. They also play great music! I even enjoyed chatting with Nicole, who checked me in and answered any questions I had. I will be back with my boyfriend, Colin, soon! read more

Everyone here was awesome! My first tattoo and they did an excellent job. I would recommend this business to any and everyone!

I love this place. Jaime has done 3 of my tattoos and I can't wait to get more. Lexi and Nichole are both super friendly. I haven't interacted too much with the other artists as they're usually, you know, tattooing people, but they seem pleasant. The shop is pristine and very well taken care of. What more could you ask for... Oh and they always share their Brazilian food with me. read more

Had my first tattoo done here and was treated so well. The shop is incredibly clean and everyone is very friendly and professional. Most importantly just look at the amazing line work tattoo Nasa did for me! Totally worth every penny and more. read more

My experience in this shop was 100% positive. Tim was my artist, and he did an awesome job. I'm sooo happy with my tattoo. Tim, thank you very very much my man. I will see you in our next appointment. Communication is something very important for me for many reason. Tim was really good with Communication, he answered really fast and always answered my questions with passion. This guy knows what he is doing definitely. While I was tattooing, I saw the work of a couple artists one was Carlos and I guess the other was Nicole, and let me tell you something, this guys are no messing around. Lol. Seriously, they are hood, the do a beautiful work here. I definitely will recommend this shop with my eyes closed. My cousin will be next. Attached is a picture of my tattoo. Note that this tattoo is still in process. I have to do background and add some more details after healing. read more

I am new to NYC, but not new to tattoos. I had no idea where to go, so I visited four or five shops in Astoria, browsed endless portfolios, and interviewed several artists. Ultimately, I had the pleasure of working with Carlos on a custom piece. All I can say is wow, this guy is a pro. I am not artistic at all, but he took my idea and ran with it. His line work and shading are phenomenal and you can tell he takes great pride in what he does. It was really cool seeing my concept turn into a lifetime piece. I will definitely be back to see him in the future. If you have a custom idea, Carlos is your man. read more

With a little over a year of thought put into what my next tattoo would be, I had finally fell in love with a design that reflects of my biggest passions in life: running. Design decided, all I had left to do was find a place to do it! Enter Body Language Tattoo. Located just a couple blocks from my apartment, I've walked past this relatively new addition to the neighborhood countless times. Each time I would pass by I grew more and more excited about my next ink. I showed up as a walk in and had my consultation right away with one of their artists (in my case, I met with Ben). I showed him my design and we discussed options and cost. Every tattoo is unique, including it's price, so let's just say that this is absolutely not ridiculous East Village tattoo prices. I was very impressed with Body Language's pricing. Ben was ready to go right away, but I opted to head home for a quick bite to eat while my wife helped me sketch out some color and shading ideas (I hadn't thought those completely through before the consult). They just told me to come on back whenever I was ready. Having landed on a shading idea, I took the drawing example back to Ben and he immediately saw what I was going for. As for the color, I found a particular shade of blue that I loved in Ben's portfolio. He informed me that he didn't have that exact color in shop, but could mix a color that would be an extremely close match. He was right, it was spot on! After a complete sterile prep, it was time to begin. The stencil was placed (and replaced when I wanted to move the positioning around a bit) and the needle was fired up. As for pain, look, tattoos hurt. There's no getting around it. For me personally, it was painful, but manageable. This was done on my leg about halfway between knee and ankle. I just distracted myself with some articles and games on my phone and before I knew it, we were done! And I was was completely in love with the final results! Professional, friendly, and spotlessly clean, BLT NYC is definitely the place to go if you're looking to get tattooed! read more

Rain did this AHMAZING microscopic tat- the details are MIND BLOWING. The crisp lines, the concept, the shading- OMG IT'S EVERYTHING I WANTED AND SHE'S SO FAST. It's also a one-of-a-kind-she's-said-she'll-never-be-doing-it-again so I feel EXTRA special! Didn't even feel the needle- her lyrical voice soothed me right into a trance-like state of pure ecstasy. Can't recommend her enough. AND THE SHOP- the cleanest I've ever seen. I'd eat off them floors. And speaking of food, they offered me complimentary tea, brownies, and pelmeni. OH THE PELMENI!!! And with just the right dollop of sour cream. PURRR HEAVEN. read more

I don't leave reviews on Yelp, ever. I needed to leave one, however, for the team at 10 Thousand Foxes Queens. Nichole was quick to respond and immediately got me set up with an appointment, was supportive and helpful when I explained the tattoo was in my dad's handwriting, who I've lost recently, and told her where I wanted it. I worked with Tony, who was relatable, kind and talented, and gave me exactly what I wanted (a small script tattoo, but his other work is incredible also) while also providing his expertise... I don't care what anyone says, it's my body but it's their job and I trust them to give me the best advice. They followed COVID procedures to a T, which for someone who lost a family member to COVID is much appreciated. The point is, it's hard these days to come across compassionate people. I feel like every social interaction is a roll of the dice. The team at 10 Thousand Foxes was able to be compassionate and human to me while also doing their jobs, and doing it well. I'd come back in a heartbeat and will be recommending my friends here in the future. read more

I've never been, but from reviews this place seems legit. Does anyone have any Idea what the pricing is here? I'm in the US Army, and will be home for a few weeks, and it would be helpful to get a rough estimate on hourly work, or if its just by piece. read more

The artists at this shop are amazing. I just got my 3rd tattoo from So Yeon yesterday and, as usual, it was perfect. It was a memorial piece of my two pups that died earlier this year and I was so happy with it. Memorial pieces are rough, especially of pets, but it came out better than I could have asked for. The shop itself is clean. The staff are all really cool. The customer service is excellent. I can't rep this place enough. read more

LOTS of talented ladies working at this shop! I came in for a bunch of little simple tattoos, and Nasa (who btw, is super adorable and very sweet) took care of me. All the ladies there (to be fair, I'm sure there are guys that work there, but the day I went in, it was all ladies) were super friendly and made me feel so much less nervous. Their pricing is wonderful for the quality of their artists. I paid with a card, not realizing that the tip had to be in cash, so I had to run out to use an ATM. They were really cool about this, and didn't seem to mind me leaving my BF behind while I ran out. I will definitely be coming back here for more work! read more

Great people here. Totally chill and fun environment, not at all intimidating. I've had several tatts & piercings and I still walk into places and get a bad vibe. Not here. I witnessed an artist finishing up w a client and they were very thorough and easy to work with when scheduling the next visit. I just got something simple but will def be back when it's time for a serious piece. Def give this shop a shot! Cash or credit plus a referral bonus??? Crazy! read more

My mom and I wanted to get a tattoo for my 25th birthday when she was in town. We went to another location but they couldn't take both of us. We were determined though and thought to check out Body Language! When we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff and a clean studio. Rain was available to help us so we didn't even have to wait! We showed our designs and she got right to work. They have a computer and printer to search for clean and clear drawings to make stencils of. Rain was able to get both my mom's and mine clear and perfect. When she started tattooing she was extremely kind and attentive to our pain levels. She helped me when considering what color I should get too! All and all it was fantastic! I definitely recommend this place! read more

My second review ~ I literally travelled from Australia, with a plan to return to Body Language Tattoo~ Carlos had previously inked my shoulder (really well!). They managed to fit me in for a couple small tattoos, and lucky enough~ with Carlos again! I couldn't recommend this place or Carlos enough. Great music, last time it was deftones, this time Wu Tang Klan ^_^ Laid back, not at all intimidating, and everyone is pretty chilled/friendly. (My new tattoos were quick, with minimal pain from good pressure- and look exactly how I wanted them!) Thanks guys~ I'll definitely be back- even if it's in half a decade... ^_^ read more

I want to say good things,I went here in February for my sons name and a Usa flag. Huge gouges in my arm and poor work, I wish the Russian girl did my tattoos . The gouges took 2 months to heal. I still think overall this is a good tattoo shop and I have since speaking to ownership recommended people to go here. At the end of the day it's the persons choice and if you don't speak up then you get what you get. I should have spoke up. read more
