My wife and I did a lot of searching online for an artist that had that certain touch when it came to both realism, as well as ability to be whimsical. We were blown away by his portfolio on IG. When we first met him, we knew we made the right choice. No fluff, no BS, just straight up honest man. What you see is what you get. Professional but down to earth. Extremely talented but not an arrogant jerk. Listens to you as the client and gives his professional opinion on how to make your ideas really stand out while still staying true to your want. I wanted a Demon Hunter (metal band) logo with a sword through the skull and a Scripture verse. He drew it up and explained how to best incorporate everything. After settling into a comfortable lounge chair (I had the option to sit up, lay down or lounge), it was on to getting a work of art that I've been wanting for a long time. Between the music playing, the conversation and actually feeling relaxed, it was the best tattoo experience. Look no further than Manny of Grit and Stone for the tattoo of your dreams. Not only did he take on my religious tattoo, but also my whimsical Mickey Mouse tattoo. You can't pigeonhole the man into one style. He's a man of many abilities. The man is as talented as they come. If you have to wait a month or two to be tatted by him, do it. His art is worth it.

I wanted to get a colorful memorial piece in 2022 for my late cat. After searching around for a…read moregood local color tattoo artist, I stumbled upon Gabe Levitt. I reached out and scheduled an appointment. Communication was clear and there was a deposit upon scheduling the appointment. The over all price was a bit high for me. But for the size and detail of the piece I believe the price was very fair. Upon entering the building it has kind of an open space loft kind of feel. With a small art gallery and prints and stickers from local artists for sale at the desk. Gabe was attentive and took me to a table to get my art that I wanted done and work on the design a bit more. The communication was on point the whole way through and about 5 hours later I had a wonderful new tattoo to remember my cat by. Its one of my favorite tattoos and healed really well with the second skin.

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
