From the moment you walk in, you're treated like family. There's a strong sense of community & care here that's rare & deeply felt. The owner Mikhail is one of the kindest, most humble people I've met in any creative field. He shares his knowledge & honest advice with such generosity & zero ego, which speaks volumes about the environment he's built. You can feel the passion & resilience it takes to thrive in this tough & changing industry woven into every part of the studio. Whether you're a first-timer or adding to a full sleeve, this is the place to go. I can't recommend First Class Tattoos enough--five stars, no question!

After looking at a few tattoo shops on the map, I walked into this shop around 8pm on a Sunday. The…read moreplace was empty and the artists, including who I presume to be the owner, were quick to help me out. I requested a black tattoo consisting of 3 numbers, 2" wide on my arm and was quoted $100 flat which is their minimum. The owner made a copy of my ID and the tattoo artist (sorry I forgot your name) confirmed the font and size. I waited less than 10 mins and was done within 15 mins. The lines are clean and exactly what I wanted. I also left a 20% tip. They use saniderm which I'm also a fan of. Thank you so much for my tattoo, I love it! Wish I had come across this place sooner so I could get more.

I called early in the day to find out about a septum piercing. I wish I was told in advance…read moreKimberly who does the piercing doesn't come in until 3:30. I went earlier only to find that out. I love that minors not only need to be accompanied by an adult but it must be their caregiver and their birth certificate for proof. Kimberly did a great job with my daughter's septum piercing. Will definitely return and recommend.

Unfortunately, we got there near closing time and couldn't get the tattoo done as someone was already on the table getting worked on. He explained how he was the only one tattooing at the moment and could not start another piece this evening but was more than happy to help us when we return. We asked if a piercing was something he can do at the moment and without hesitation he took us right in. He pierced the upper ear and did a great job. Overall, this place was very clean, friendly and professional.

My husband and I have been getting tattooed for quite awhile, and recently had the pleasure of…read moregetting some ink from White Rabbit's new artist Konstantin. We were initially attracted to Konstantin's online portfolio from Moscow, and he did not disappoint! Konstantin completed my Slash tattoo in about five hours and I couldn't be happier. Konstantin pays meticulous attention to the smallest details, with the final product speaking for itself. Konstantin has a very bold and diverse skill set, as shown by his ability to work with color, black and gray, and portraits. We were fortunate to get an appointment with Konstantin on short notice, but I imagine an artist of his talent and skill will book up fast. Please checkout White Rabbit and Konstantin for your next tattoo. They won't disappoint.

Have to take a minute to shoutout Rising Dragon Tattoos and Jason Barletta…read moreIt's my third time there second time I sat for a session. Going in yesterday was only supposed to be for a tattoo and I left in stitches. Not the literal kind, but the kind you get from laughing from beginning to end. The banter and vibe was so chill I overlooked the fact Jason was doing what he does best. Skilling some artwork. He is hands down one of the dopest artists I've seen, body art and canvass. Highly recommend anyone looking for some work check them out!

The receptionist was nice and Darren was a cool dude, as were the rest of the artists. Darren is super fast, kind, and professional. I can't wait to get another calf tattoo (despite the pain lol) from him. I worked with him ahead of time for sketches, so if you have any ideas, get with him so he can bring your ideas to life!

I've been a client of hers for several years now and her style and technique have been consistently stunning since day 1! Shes insanely talented at listening to a tattoo idea and creating a stunning original visual design from scratch (no AI in this house!!). She also has some of the softest hands of any artist I've ever been to without any negative effects on the tattoo quality so if pain is something you really worry about, Rowan at Inkology is perfect for you! 10/10 one of the best tattoo artists in NYC!!!

Rowan took on the difficult task of filling in the empty spaces on my sleeve with Zelda imagery. She had to cover challenging spots like the elbow, elbow ditch, and wrist and she did an amazing job! Just one full day session covered it. She's not only talented and efficient, but is an all-around pleasant person to work with. As for the studio overall, it's in a great location that's easy to get to (just blocks away from PABT), and it's clean and spacious.
