I started coming to Divine Machine in January specifically to get work done by Chad Grohman, a…read morecustom tattoo on my forearm. The only tattoo experience I had before was two tats done in the living room of a friend 30-some years ago. Since January I have been back 4 times and thrilled with everything about my experiences - love Chad as an amazing artist and really kind, thoughtful person who makes every session fun! Plus, I love the shop itself - kind of like a maze with incredible tattoo art on every wall, nook, and cranny. It's clean with a friendly vibe. All the artists are so talented and cool - I want tattoos from all of them! I'm sorry some people had bad experiences from the looks of the reviews, but I have zero complaints and all praise.

What's an annual Buffalo trip in mid-December without a little tattoo to take home with you?…read more It's nothing. That trip would be nothing without the tattoo... So there seem to be an abundance of tattoo shops in the Buffalo area, all fairly close by each other. There was another shop doing a flash event, but I chose to lead the boys to a different spot that I'd hoped took walk-ins and wasn't as busy. This was the spot. The guys at this shop were top-notch. Super friendly and easy to talk to. I talked shop and music with them for a bit before getting a rad flash book to go through as I had no idea what I really wanted. My boys were not as savvy with the tat experience butter guys at Divine Machine made it easy for them. Pertaining to walk-ins, it seemed a little hectic, as they were just like "okay, you want this or that design? We'll find someone to do it." I'm definitely used to a bit more of an organized situation where I'm gonna know the artist before we just do the damn thing, but all these artists seemed to know be solid with American traditional so it all worked out. Parking is on the street where everything you'll ever need in Buffalo is, Elmwood Ave! Check out their Insta @divinemachinetattoo Website: divinemachinetattoo.com

(This review is delayed, but my tattoo appointment was on July 4th of 2022)…read more When I had seen the Pokemon Gumball tattoo hype, I knew I wanted to be part of such a cool goal/project! Once Cody had posted new openings on Facebook in the spring of 2022 I knew I had to jump in. He had been a little late for our appointment day of, but had let me know about 30 mins before the appointment. So communication was really good! The price for the gumball and a reroll wasn't all too bad and I ended up with a really cool piece of work. The atmosphere was pretty relaxing, and after we had talked about pokemon and design, he worked on the design while I grabbed lunch. Conversations weren't all too bad, I'm awkward when it comes to keeping a conversation going with new people so any awkward pauses I chalk it up to me. Care instructions were pretty straightforward and its one of my most colorful tattoos, it healed really well! Can't wait to go back for another tattoo soon, and I also can't wait to check out their new laser removal machine. Will update my review when I get around to those.
