    Today was my first time going. The shop was very clean and had a really cool interior. The staff there were very nice. I had to wait a little longer than I would've liked (I was a walk-in on a Sunday so I really can't complain about it.) And most importantly, Jae did a great job on my tattoo. I will most definitely be going back to get more work done!!

    If you're looking for a real tattoo made by some of the most talented tattoo artists in the city, go here. Really clean and nice tattoo shop. Corey Cudney is a talented artist in a variety of media. Huge waiting list, but if you're looking for portraits, I've heard him referred to as the "photocopier". They look exactly like whatever picture you choose. Chris Allen is another extremely talented artist. His style is very realistic but can be extremely creative. He can incorporate many ideas and come up with original tattoo designs that you never even thought of. Don't be intimidated, go in and check out their portfolios, they may be pretty busy working but set up an appointment to talk to them if you're serious. You'll be paying by the hour and depending on what you want, may cost many sessions. They're skilled at what they do. It takes time and patience for real artwork to be created. If you're looking to get your name tattooed or something equally lame go some place else.

    Main lobby, Ganesh statues were very welcoming.

    I walked in here on a whim (no appointment) on a Monday afternoon. I was promptly greeted and able to chat with a woman called Kaitlin about my design. I wanted something simple- just a couple words on my side. She said she could free hand the lettering and asked me to come back in an hour in a half (no problem I ate a sub at a shop up the street.). When I returned there was a camera crew from Spike TV that was doing a bit about a kid that had won a video game contest and was going to drive a race car in England. The guy was a really skinny dude who was getting a tattoo of the race track in England on his chest. I was impressed with my ability to find a place so legit they were on TV out of all the shops in Biffalo they could have picked. Everyone there was friendly and chill. My tattoo came out awesome and I simply adore it. It was also cheaper then the tattoo I got 10 years ago. It wasn't a complicated design but the price was lower then I expected. Kaitlin was even really nice about my need to talk the whole time she was working cause it made me not think about the pain. Awesome place, I will defiantly go back.

    I recommend NO ONE to get tattooed by Zach Zahn at Devine tattoos. I have never experienced such horrible customer service or gotten a tattoo this terrible.The tattoo I wanted was very simple: the outline of an ice cream cone. Zach told me he could not make the tattoo as small as I wanted even though I have seen multiple tattoos of this kind that are much smaller, and have much finer detail, done by other artists. He was rude the entire time and made me feel like an inconvenience when I was trying to figure out where I should have the tattoo placed. The quality of the actual tattoo is HORRIBLE, as Zach couldn't even tattoo a straight line or align the scoops on my ice cream cone--EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STRAIGHT ON THE STENCIL. Mind you, I was being completely still throughout the entire process so it was not due to any shakiness. When the tattoo was complete, Zach rushed me out of there stating that he had another client. After seeing the terrible job he had done, I emailed him in a very professional manner addressing my concerns. He told me that he didn't appreciate my attitude (gave him no attitude) and that the reason the tattoo turned out the way it did was because "I was jittery and that "I was unsure of the tattoo the whole time" and told me that I could "come get my money back" because he did not "care to tattoo" me again. I never received an apology, and had the blame put on me. He gave me my refund, however, when I asked for my tip back he didn't give it to me. Sad, incompetent and unprofessional! Brrr.

    I got a tattoo from this place a few years back hoping for a great cover up. I was so Embarrassed by the tattoo I had when I was younger and ready to have it covered up! I was told this place was great! Well they gave me another embarrassing tattoo... I can't express to you how upset I was and embarrassed... I had this ugly HUGE tattoo on my side and would end up buying one piece swim suits to cover up the embarrassment. The artist didn't care... rushed it and then charged me out the ass for it. I felt very pressured... a few years later I finally got the guts to get the horrible tattoo covered up. I was terrified to go to another artist since the gig from divine tattoo scarred me... also on top of it he destroyed my skin... I now have scar tissue because of the tattoo he gave me . I would not recommend. This place. Make sure you do a lot more research before going to These artists that don't give a crap and only care about the $$. My NEW tattoo is shown on the right ... the other one that was "covered up " which you can still see the OLD tattoo underneath it! Please save yourself a trip and don't go here... the awful and embarrassing tattoo is on the left.

    Scott was excellent to work with. We were walk-ins because we had plans to be out of town for the weekend and they were very unexpectedly canceled. He hooked up my husband and I with some ink we've been wanting for a while. Really knocked it pit of the park for the design I requested. Professional, laid back and excellent artist.

    My best friend and I walked in very last minute to get matching tattoos. They quickly got everything ready and we were in and out within 30 minutes max! Zach was AMAZING to us! When I didn't like my placement of the tattoo, he changed it for me right away and made sure I knew it was okay that I changed my mind. I was getting my first tattoo and he explained everything I needed to know and made sure I was okay throughout the whole process. He was very nice and accommodating the entire visit. He also made good conversation. Our tattoos came out just like we pictured them in our head and he did such an amazing job. He also ended up giving us $10 off since we got matching tattoos! I would 100% recommend Divine Machine and Zach as a tattoo artist!

    Kris's tattoo she did for me!

    These people are so friendly! The apprentice at the reception desk accommodated me by getting me in last minute. Super helpful! Kris did my tattoo and did a phenomenal job, I'm so happy with it.

    GROSS

    it was supposed to be a cover up & it got messed up even more im so disappointed how this healed up i got this tattoo about a month ago with i believe his name was scott he said he couldnt do a bigger rose to cover up the heart so he had to do a small one this tattoo was supposed to be in memory of my grandfather who passed away but now i have to get it covered up touched up or fixed AGAIN & last but not least it only took not even 20 minutes & i was charged $120 which is ridiculous i could of went somewhere else got something way more detailed better looking & bigger what i wanted FOR CHEAPER I DO NOT RECOMMEND DIVINE MACHINE TATTOOS TO ANYONE !!!!!!

    Ram skull Dustin did for me
    Donald K.

    Awesome work done by these guys! My girlfriend and I have gone a couple times now and won't be going anywhere else. As soon as you walk in the atmosphere is way different then other tattoo shops around Buffalo. It's very welcoming and everyone is super cool. Dustin has done my work and I was stoked how the pieces came out each time. My girlfriend has been seeing Kaitlin and has also been super happy with her results . They are good at working with you if you are a little indecisive. If you want some quality work done go see these dudes!

    I love this place highly recommend! They're friendly and very skilled at tattooing! I had Zach I showed him my ideas for a cover-up and he sketched up exactly what I wanted! He was very patient with me due to the area being sensitive to tattooing! Very very happy :)

    We had such a wonderful experience getting my daughter's ears pierced here. The studio requires…read moreappointments and keeps the doors locked, which actually made the whole experience feel very special and intentional rather than rushed or chaotic like some retail environments can be. It really felt like this was an occasion just for her. My daughter was pretty nervous going in, but James was absolutely fantastic with her. He was calm, patient, and took the time to talk her through everything, which really helped soothe her nerves. By the time it was done, she felt proud and excited rather than scared. The entire service was phenomenal from start to finish. James was professional, kind, and clearly cared about making it a positive experience. The Parlour itself is also really cool; clean, welcoming, and full of personality. I honestly wish every retail or service experience I had was handled with this level of care and thoughtfulness. It made a moment my daughter was nervous about turn into a really special memory for both of us.

Once you "schedule" your appointment, they will send another email with a link for a deposit that must be made within 24 hours to hold and secure your appointment date and time. This is a $50 deposit towards your final total. We arrived at the Parlour and were advised that there is only street parking, so be prepared. Our appointment was with James for a second earlobe piercing for my daughter. Please pay attention to their website as they require a birth certificate if your child and the consenting parents ID, too. My daughter and I both signed consent forms and then he took us upstairs to look at jewelry. They have a wide and beautiful selection. He was very patient and informative with my daughter for her to choose what she wanted. She chose beautiful champagne colored studs He then advised us that he needs to sanitize and prep his station and the jewelry so it would be about 10 minutes. My daughter and I went back downstairs and waited a bit. After he was finished, he took us to his room and explained the process in detail to my daughter all along the way. He marked my daughter's ears and then measured her ear lobes and showed her where the earrings would be placed. Everything was sterilized and each needle is only used once and then disposed of properly. My daughter did have anxiety but didn't really show it, especially after the first ear lobe was done. James advised her how to breathe each time he would pierce her ear and she followed his directions. Again, he was very patient and professional. He gave her after care instructions and a cleanser. Since we are only visiting from Vegas, he told us to send an email about any follow ups regarding the posts in her ears if we wanted them shorter after they healed. He said he would reach out to his contacts in Vegas to help with this when the time comes. We were both very happy with the experience and my daughter was ecstatic with her new piercing. She had a previous gun piercing (my bad, I know now), so this was a much better experience. I highly recommend the Parlour.
