    Tattoo by Kevin, 2015 vs 2022.
    Japonica F.

    Currently starting the removal process for a tattoo done by Kevin back in 2015. It bled in just a few years and looks terrible now. Be careful with fine line tattoos that have any amount of detail as it might end up looking like this. Hopefully he is using better tattoo equipment at Bang Bang.

    Tips: Pay in cash, otherwise you'll be charged an 8%+ fee for using a credit card. Also make sure to ask which location you'll be at, there is one on Broome St. and one one Grand St. My friend and I called on Sunday asking if there were any cancellations and they told us Kevin could fit us in for a consultation Monday and the tattoo on Tuesday. The consultation was quite quick as we were getting small & simple tattoos (constellations). Front desk guys were awesome and filled us in on the deposit/cancellation policy. We lucked out in being able to get an appointment so last minute as they usually book up months in advance. On Tuesday, Kevin took the first hour designing the tattoos and came out to show us the stencils. He did a fantastic job with the design as we only showed him rough sketches of what we wanted. My friend loved hers and didn't need any adjustments. I only had one slight adjustment in making the tattoo slightly smaller. While it was not my first tattoo, it was my friend's first time and Kevin made her feel totally comfortable with the process. The whole process at Bang Bang was seamless and Kevin did an amazing job!

    I would highly recommend Bang Bang! I had two tattoos here and was completely blown away by the amazing quality of work. I first saw Rob who helped me cover up a tattoo that had bled and became illegible that was done at a different location. It was a difficult tattoo to cover due to the placement but he did such an incredible job and made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the process. I also saw Michelle who redid my original tattoo that I had to get covered up. I was blown away with the fine lines and precision from Michelle. She did such an amazing job. Overall I absolutely loved my experience and was so happy with my tattoos from Rob and Michele! Would highly recommend both of them!

    Tattoo by Dragon

    My first tattoo was done at Bang Bang Tattoo's 62 Grand Street location. I have wanted a tattoo for many years and had reached an age and time in my life when I had a meaningful tattoo design in mind and was ready. After researching tattoo shops, I decided that Bang Bang was right for me, and the artist Dragon would be the best for the tattoo style. I made an appointment over the phone for a consultation with Dragon. The consultation was quick and sweet. Dragon, who wore an awesome pair of Balanciagas, usually books months in advance, but lucky me, I was able to snag an appointment for two weeks later! Dragon helped me design a tattoo with the vision I shared. As this was my first tattoo, I was nervous, but when Dragon started tattooing, I was surprised to discover that it was not painful at all. My nerves were put at ease. When it came to the shading, I felt a tiny bit of pain, but it was quick and very manageable. The entire tattoo process, including the healing time went so well. I absolutely love my tattoo and every time I look at it, I think my wrist is even more beautiful. Dragon is an amazing artist. I plan to get my next tattoo done at Bang Bang as well. It is the only shop I trust with my body! (View my Instagram for the story behind my tattoo: https://instagram.com/p/BqOaJcNhTIP/)

    I just got my first tattoo from Trudy and I couldn't be happier with the experience and result!! Trudy immediately put me at ease and sketched up a fantastic design based on a few reference Instagram posts I had chosen. The design and her suggested placement was perfect. I would definitely recommend Trudy if you're looking for a super talented, professional, easy going artist to work with! The whole experience at Bang Bang was great; everything from the initial email to the appointment was perfectly smooth. Their location is as clean and tidy as a doctor's office. I can't wait for this tattoo to heal and I'm already thinking about my next one!

    If you are looking to get inked, don't bother looking anywhere else! I was on the hunt for a tattoo artist to complete a henna piece after having a terrible customer service experience with another spot in Brooklyn. I found Bang Bang because of the henna piece done for Rihanna and after reviewing the portfolios of a few artists knew I wanted to have Kristi do my piece. Looking at her portfolio you can see she has great skill, especially with intricate pieces. I was anticipating a wait of several months because that had been my experience with other spots but the process for getting booked was smooth and pretty quick. I got a response to my online request in less than 48 hours to set up a consultation. I set over pictures I collected and met with Kristi a few weeks later. The consultation was also fairly quick and I really liked her vibe. I set up an appointment and paid my deposit that day. My appointment time was a few weeks off but I asked to be notified if Kristi had any openings earlier if she had cancellations. I was called twice with offers of earlier appointment times. I couldn't make any of them work but appreciated that they remembered and offered more than once. On the day of my appointment, Kristi created my design which was a perfect mix of the elements from the designs and artwork I shared with her. I was really impressed to be honest. The shop is also really comfortable. Clean and modern. They also have snacks and good music while you wait and during the tattooing when you need to take a break. You are also really likely to run into a few random celebrities also getting inked there. A few months later I scheduled my touch up appointment which was also seamless. I sent Kristi a picture of my healed tattoo and scheduled an hour touch up after her assessment. The great customer service continued through this third visit. Bang Bang can be a little pricey but I don't mind because you are getting premiere service and a quality piece. I'm already thinking about my next one and it will be by Kristi at BB!

    Not sure why there are so many bad ratings. Yes it's a busy shop the email correspondence can be long but if you reach out by phone they answer right away. I've been wanting a tattoo for quite sometime and just never went through with it. Once I saw Bang Bang on instagram I knew this is where I wanted to get my first one. I run my own sales business and this shop had the best customer service I've come across in almost any business. The people that work the front desk answered all my questions no matter how many times I called. I made a few changes and asked a lot of questions on the phone and they were always helpful and never bothered to help. The day I went in I was quite nervous and the Shawn at reception couldn't have been friendlier and put me at ease. The shop is super clean and beautifuOnce I was introduced to Hector the artist I had chosen he was so kind and explained the entire process in detail. As soon as we started I felt totally at ease and hector couldn't have been any nicer and kept checking how I was doing. This shop is definitely pricey but the service and the artists are incredible and you can see it in there work. Honestly if your getting a tattoo for the first time I would highly recommend Bang Bang to anyone. I already am ready for my next one and can't wait to work with Hector again. Went for my second tattoo from hector yesterday. He's a true artist and I couldn't be happier

    Ask the Community - Bang Bang Tattoos

    Anyone know the rates of the artist Kozo?

    I just got tatted by Him. Kozo has a minimum of $2,000 for the first hour and bills $1,000 for each additional hour. His full-day sessions (7+ hours) at a flat rate of $7,000.

    How much do people usually tip here? Im going in for 2 full day sessions and not sure how much to tip

    20% is a standard tip for tattoos

    What is Okan's pricing?

    It's flat rate and starts at $1000. Changes based on design and location. The forearm tattoo I'm looking to get is estimated to take between 3-4 hours and cost $1700-$2000.

    How well did your small and tiny tattoos age?

    My micro realism Dragon tattoo is 3 years old with no touchups and still looks great but i have a really good aftercare ritual and use sunscreen religiously.

    What are the price range for a pet face portrait?

    The exact prices will depend on the artist, but the minimum I believe is $500/hour

    Can i get a tattoo drawn by an artist? is there a fee?

    The idea of your tattoo will he discussed during your consultation, but the final drawing was revealed to me on the day of my appointment. I did put down a deposit after the initial consultation as well. Hope this helps

    I submitted a form through the website. How long does that usually take for someone to get back if you submit a website form? Is it better to email the appts email? How long did you wait to get a reply?

    Personally, I stopped by the shop and was taken care of right away. I made an appointment to come back to meet the artist as she was not there the day I stopped by. Your best bet is to probably go in person, or call if you're out of town.

    Does anyone know how much Mr. K generally charges for his popular small-medium dog tattoos?

    I requested a quote about 3 weeks ago and this is what they sent me. Good luck! "Mr. K has a… Read more

    I am a minor that I need to be able to get a tattoo?

    You won't be able to get one here or at any respectable tattoo shop in NYC. They take your ID and put it on file, so there's no getting around that. Wait until you're of age.

    What are the prices?

    I just got inked by Dragon. His rate is $1,500 first hour and $600 for every additional hour. You must pay a deposit as a prerequisite for booking which is 25% of the total amount. No tiki, no laundry.

    What are Dragon's rates?

    Pretty sure him and Mr K and Balaz are the steepest. Something like 1500$ for the first hour and $1000 /hr after I'm almost positive

    What is the shop's minimum price?

    $400 an hour

    Has anyone gotten a tattoo from Eva, particularly one of the miniature colored detailed circles? How was your experience? Thanks!

    emailed them about her too. This was the response they gave me regarding her prices. "Thanks so… Read more

    Did anybody get a full sleeve tattoo from them if so how much did it cost and how long did it take?

    This is a totally unhelpful answer. Depending on the artist it'll probably be around 20,000. I'm guessing it will take AT LEAST 4 full day sessions. Maks charges 5000 for a full day and i'm guessing the other artists are about the same. Also who… Read more

    Approximately how many hours total does a full arm sleeve take?

    Depends on the design, the style, and the artist. Some just tattoo faster than others.. It usually takes multiple sessions for a full sleeve.

After my first, I've been perusing what would be the best style for my second (I really wanted to get a tattoo dedicated to my cat, Matcha). I instantly fell in love and as fate has it, there was an inspo photo of an omamori with jiji (from kiki's) and cherry blossoms that hit my instagram. Instantly, I knew that this is the style I would like so I messaged Yeonnie and she responded quick. She will do the sketch a day before your appointment (you'll get a cute sketch by midday) and you can request any changes. I absolutely adored the edition of my cartooni-fied cat. Now that I have it on my upper left arm, I am so happy to have a few of the things I personally love forever on my body. Thank you :) I definitely would recommend her. She's quick so the painful moments does not last as long. highly recommend!!
