    Spider tattoo by Jay
    Yamel G.

    Friendly, talented staff! I went in for a Friday the 13th tattoo deal. Despite the amount of people, I didn't wait long! Awesome deal for the price and detail. I can't wait to go back again for my next tattoo :)

    After a very long day being here , it was worth it , very busy day , because it was FRIDAY the 13th so they had a $31 sale which was great ! I LOVED MY TATTOO !!! Big Thanks to GENESIS! I will be coming back for more !

    Back arrow done by Hek about two years ago, and two cats done by Jimmy a few days ago, already almost healed!

    I can't say enough good things about Born4Ink and the owner Jimmy! Almost all of my tattoos are done by him, though I have a few done by the incredible other artists he has employed (Jaq and Hek!). Jimmy's work always ages well and his prices are 100% reasonable. I requested an appointment kind of last minute this week for a small shoulder piece; not only was Jimmy accommodating of my request but he also got the tattoo done quickly and skillfully! The way he works and the atmosphere of the salon is so relaxed and laid back, you feel right at home when you go. Whether it's your first tattoo or your tenth, Born4Ink is the place to go if you want quality work!

    Jimmy responded very quickly and squeezed my last minute request into the shop's very busy schedule and booked me with their tattoo artist Hekk. Hekk was extremely patient with my vision and made it way better than I could have imagined. I am absolutely in love with my tattoo and I am so happy that I came across both Jimmy and Hekk. I will definitely be coming here for more tattoos :)

    I have been following the shop & Jackie for a few months. I've been looking for and supporting local Bronx gems since I moved here 3 years ago. Decided to try them out for their Friday the 13 sale......DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Yeah sure it was a long wait but hey it was $31!!! Totally worth the wait. Loved Jackie and loved seeing an ALL POC crew doing great work!!! I will definitely be back!

    Tattoo

    Love my tattoos. The environment was clean, staff was friendly. Finished both tattoos in a lil over an hour which is great. Will go again.

    KAO is the best! Very professional and layed back!! Went to get a cover up and I'm in love

    I found Born 4 Ink through a referral from my brother who got his piece done with Jimmy a few years back and it was great! I was so nervous being that it was my first tattoo but all the employees there where super nice and reassuring, really helped me feel way better about this new mark on my body for the rest of my life. Jimmy's work was so quick and easy it was amazing. I'm in love with my two new tattoos and will definitely go back for more in the future!!!

    Absolution tattoo by Heck. He got it dead center.

    So I live in Long Island but grew up in the Bronx. I went to this shop twice over the past 6 months. Heck was very kind and VERY patient as I complain and hyperventilate through the pain. My skin is very sensitive. They have numbing spray which works like a charm. Their prices are reasonable and will match any local artists price. Jimmy aka The Great Tatsby is the one to talk to about prices. He is fair and if they can't do a piece they are honest. They don't just start drawing in you unless they are confident they can do it. You won't be disappointed.

    Our 2nd trip to see Kao, impressive as usual
    Stephanie D.

    Update: We came back to see Kao, aka the Legendary Tatzilla, aka Tatsmanian Devil. My boyfriend got his tattoo this time, and we love it! Again, his timing was absolutely astonishing. It was a busy day, but he managed to squeeze us in and get us out in a timely manner. Kao is a true artist, many know him as the Bruce Lee of ink. We will definitely always come to Born 4 Ink for all of our tattoos.

    I went from hiding to showing, therefore thank you Chloe... Xoxo
    Shay S.

    Had the pleasure on working with Chloe on a cover up/Redo and I must say I loved the work. They are very friendly and I automatically felt welcomed. I would recommend anyone.... Remember you pay for what you get and that's the value of a well completed job. Thank you!

    I went to get two small tattoos for myself and to take my 70 year old friend to get his very first tattoo. My experience was outstanding, very friendly and welcoming staff. My artist was Jaq, she was down right amazing. She took the time to make sure we were both happy with our design and placement. She also gave my friend the extra care and attention that he required with it being his first tattoo and him having anxiety. I can't wait to get some more work from her !

    Tribal owl done by Hekk. Detail work crazy!!!!

    I literally fly across the country just to see Christine for years now and I will only ever let her…read moreand a friend of mine that she trained touch my face. Also, she is such a kind and funny person. I love talking to her when I'm allowed to open my mouth between tattooing. She makes you feel really comfortable and her office is beautiful, calm, clean, and just a really nice space to be in. She is strict and very detail oriented and honestly a little no nonsense but it is for a reason. She does not cut corners and her work is so precise. The results speak for themselves. She really does perform miracles. What I respect most is that she holds her clients accountable too. PMU is an investment and she makes it clear that it is our responsibility to take care of that investment by following her protocol. If you listen to her you will get the best possible results. If you don't and you do things like smoke, peel off your skin, etc, it will show and that's 100% on you. So protect your investment! There is a reason I will not trust anyone else. Her work is elite and she was one of the first PMU artists to touch melanated skin which is everythingggg. Couldn't recommend her enough.

    Ok so heads up, this is a long review…read more My lips were never even. They were kinda dark and it didn't help that when I was a kid, I used to bite my lip a lot. One day, I was running in the park and fell forward. I ended up bitting my lip so hard that it left a mark. Fast forward 15 years and theres still a scar lining of my top tooth. I followed Christine on Instagram, she was one of the few I found who looked super legit and was super open and honest on her page. My first appointment was in October 2020 I went to get my lashes done and it was super last minute decision of mine but she got me in! Off the bat, she was super nice and super honest with me. Going into this, I knew I had sensitive eyes and I let her know in advance. She warned me that tearing can impact the results and I agreed because I wanted to give it a try. I teared a bit but the results were so worth it. The lashes lasted me sooo long and gave me so much life, I knew I couldn't go anywhere else. Fast forward a bit, I became a student model for two ladies that were learning from Christine. As a student model, listening in on how detailed and specific she was made me feel less worried. They were able to conceal my scar, they did a great job with Christine's help. Fast forward a few months later I had my touch up and lashes done as I knew my birthday was coming up the next month. Christine did my touch up with a brighter a bolder color which I loved and my lashes came out amazing as usual. Fair warning, I don't suggest doing two services at once if you can't lay flat for a long time. Christine was very accommodating and allowed me to stretch between sessions. She evened out my Cupid's bow and concealed the scar even more so it wasn't noticeable anymore. The healing process was pretty quick. I started peeling within the 3rd day and was fully peeled by the 6th day. My lips looked amazing, as a girl that is shy with pictures because of my lip insecurity, it felt GREAT! I went to Disney after they healed. A lady had complimented me and wanted to know my trick on how my lipstick stayed so perfect as I was eating. I was so in shock as that's never happened. I was so excited to share Christine's Instagram and explain the process. I can't wait for my next session with Christine. If your trying to get an appointment, I'd suggest you book in advance or stalk her Instagram for a last minute opening.
