It's been a couple of months, so I can say for sure now that my tat was done beautifully. Very chill vibe and the artist and his assistant were extremely welcoming and kind. Would definitely consider this place again. read more

Jae is awesome! Came here based on all the great reviews, and I wholeheartedly agree with them. Jae is professional, communicative, and he actually got through my tattoo quicker than anticipated! It hurt like a b*tch, but that's not his fault! Also played some great hip hop all throughout. For my back tattoo, he did some CRISP line work. Definitely recommend Electric Lotus! read more

Got the bug in me one day to get a simple tattoo that I really wanted. Nothing big or complicated. I called Electric Lotus and was told that they had walk in availability that day. I headed over and met with Joe from PA. I showed him a Picture of what I was interested in and then he worked up a couple of sketches. I decided on a specific one and he drew it up in a few minutes. It looked like exactly what I wanted and I said we could proceed. The process did not take very long. It was a small tattoo and all black. It came out perfectly. I have lately been thinking about another tattoo. That would be a little more complicated. But I needed some artistic input to make it right. Called Electric Lotus again and spoke to Jae. He didn't have time for a walking that day but told me to arrange a time with him for a no cost consultation. I got a little busy for the next few weeks. And couldn't make it to him but I plan to very shortly. Overall, my experience was excellent with both the tattoo that I received and the service that Jae was going to provide me for the consult. I can't wait for the holidays to be over. So I could have my consultation and get my ink. I've seen Jae's work and it is wonderful. I would most definitely recommend electric lotus to anyone who wants a quality tattoo. read more

I got a perfect cover-up tattoo from Jae Connor at Electric Lotus Tattoo in Brooklyn in 2018. I was totally lost at how to get my ex's name (I know, I know) covered-up from my forearm (it was wrapped around). I gave Jae a few ideas (flowers? leaves?) & he went with it & created a beautiful flower with leaves that wrapped around my forearm. He had such great ideas about how to make it all blend seamlessly. It was so beautiful when it was done - people are shocked to hear it is a coverup! It has also aged very well. Jae is also a great guy - totally puts you at ease & is easy to talk to. The shop is clean & quiet and in a great neighborhood. I highly recommend him & Electric Lotus without hesitation! read more

Great place! Jae did a great job helping me choose from his existing designs. He was fast and we had a great time chatting while he was doing the tattoo. Def recommend him and would come back again. read more

I did a lot of research before coming to Electric Lotus and decided that Jae was a great fit. He has almost 30 years of experience, is a known name in the community, and has a very impressive portfolio. I just got my first tattoo here and I would highly recommend him to anyone who likes a chill, clean, and creative atmosphere when getting this work done. I watched him unwrap brand new supplies and thoroughly sterilize everything either of us would touch. He did an incredible job and I am very happy with the results! read more

So, stopped by Electric Lotus to see if I could get help to fix this AWFUL star outline tattoo they did a while back. The guy who came to the door was rude and short. Before even asking why we were there he was attempting to thrust a business card in my hand and telling me there is a 2 week wait for appointments. Given the awful work they did and the fact that there are much better shops, I won't be going back ever. read more

I was so excited to come here! Their work on Instagram looks awesome. I had a consult with Jae, I had emailed him a photo of an idea I had in mind and only a week after he was able to fit me in. Now, it's an hour before my appointment and he calls me that he's running behind, so I kindly came in an hour later. No problem, I am an artist and I work in the service industry too so I know shit happens! I arrived a few minutes early in hopes that I could start to fill out paperwork and whatnot before the one-hour-later-appointment, but another lady came in and he tattooed her while I sat there and waited, for about 40 minutes by the time he cleaned and reprepped his station for me. I'm a very patient person, but I was pretty turned off by this because I did have an appointment and was kind enough to change it last minute. Finally, I get my tattoo... Attached is the photo I emailed him upon consultation which was used as a reference, as well as a photo of the tattoo he gave me 3 weeks healed. I have no words, look for yourself.... I am so embarrassed for this shop to allow me to leave with this on my arm.... I'm very upset that Jae did not tell me during the consultation that this work was beyond his ability! Very unprofessional. Everyone should know their boundaries, it is not shameful... Fortunately, I have an appointment to get this thing removed in a few weeks. read more

I was looking to get a tattoo finished. Looked at yelp reviews and settled on this place after the owner was able to accommodate the time and date I needed. When I arrived the sketch was done for exactly what I wanted. The place is immaculate. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes probably. Jay I believe was his name did an amazing job and was quick and painless. I will definitely be back and the best part is I can walk here in less than 10 mins. read more

I regret ever getting a tattoo from this place. When I visited in 2002, I went with my then-boyfriend, a Boonton resident, to go get tattoos. The place looked ok - clean everything, tattoo samples in the corner, nice owner/tat artist. Being the difficult person I am, I had to "design" my own tattoo. What did I settle on? The character of my last name in Chinese. Now for tattoo artists that probably AT LEAST once a day tattoo some random Chinese symbol on someone who's NOT Chinese, you'd think it would be ok. I wrote it out in Chinese and we had to give it a few tries before we got a copy that I was pleased with. Jae did the whole copy it onto my skin deal and started the job. He was very professional and very considerate. I got it done on my ankle and I guess I must've stopped breathing to try and block out the pain because he stopped and he asked me if I wanted a second. Phew! I don't know where the mistake came from (especially since we had looked it over before he prepped the image on my ankle), but I didn't realize until AFTER the scabbing was done and you could finally see the tattoo that he managed to connect lines that WEREN'T supposed to be connected and DIDN'T connect lines that WERE supposed to be connected. So now I have this tattoo on my ankle which in theory represents my last name in Chinese, but show any of my Chinese friends and I get a chuckle outta them. Please, get your tattoo somewhere else. Not worth the money or the possibility that YOURS could get screwed up as well. read more

My husband has gotten two tattoos from Jae, both are fantastic. On both occasions, we went in with a concept and Jae created a custom design based on what we said. My husband is a huge wuss, but Jae worked really quickly and gave him breaks to eat and what not. I would recommend talking to their tattoo artists and getting a custom piece. Also- I got my nose pierced there and they were clean and efficient. They even gave me directions on cleaning it to take home with me. I would go back and have recommended it to friends. read more

Electric Lotus is my favorite tattoo studio in New York City. I've gotten work done at a number of solid studios around the city but since my first appointment at Electric Lotus, I haven't ventured anywhere else. Jae and Anthony are both amazing artists and I have a killer time sitting with either of them. Jae, the owner of the studio, has tattooed me four times and I can easily say that out of my 16 tattoos Jae's work is my favorite. I am always impressed by his ability to translate abstract ideas into art and by his versatility at tattooing diverse styles and designs. My own tattoos are all in black and grey, which Jae has executed perfectly, but I have both watched him tattoo others and seen his healed designs, and can attest to the incredible quality of his work in color as well. He has an intuitive sense of color scheme and application, resulting in beautiful, timeless tattoos that make a statement and endure. Jae works fast and with precision. Each of my tattoos has healed well and remain looking fresh and crisp. As for the experience of visiting Electric Lotus, I absolutely love coming here. Walking in, Jae and co. are warm, welcoming, and attentive. Despite the high popularity of the shop, appointments start on time and once they do you have the artists' full attention. Jae and Anthony are both great about making sure you are completely satisfied with their rendering of your design and the tattoo placement before getting to work on your body--unlike at other tattoo studios I've visited where I felt rushed and as though something was lost in translation. Everyone at Electric Lotus is a consummate professional who truly cares about the integrity of their work and the joy of their clients. Also, the shop itself is beautiful. The walls are hung with all sorts of gorgeous artworks and Jae has a terrific floor-to-ceiling bookshelf full of art books and references. It is always a pleasure to chat with Jae and Anthony while they work as they are both kind and fascinating human beings. All in all, I just love being here and working with these dudes and recommend them to everyone I know who expresses interest in tattoos or compliments mine. Whether you know exactly what you want or come in with only a vague idea, you'll leave Electric Lotus feeling looked after and itching to return for another one. read more

Jae did a great job taking a few ideas I had and turning them into something meaningful and polished. Besides his skill as an artist, I really appreciated his willingness to let me use my body as my canvas. I found him after trying two other tattoo shops, one of which was visibly unenthusiastic about my idea and another of which had a massive waitlist. I will go back here for my next tattoo! read more

Jae did a phenomenal job on my hybrid theory tattoo. Once you find a great tattoo artist you stick with them, so I'll definitely be sticking with Jae. I'm a little annoyed that he moved from boomton (which is 10 min from my house) to brooklyn but I can't blame him for the smart move. I would highly recommend this place and I am willing to make the hour drive for some good ink. read more

Been waiting a while to give this review, let me start by saying that this shop looks amazing! Jay has been in the game for 30 years and every design is amazing. I showed Jay a picture of a tattoo I wanted and asked him to tweak it a bit with planets and I was estates with the design he gave. It was my second tattoo so I was a bit shaky but he made me feel very comfortable and got the job done in 2 hours. The one on the left side of my chest took 2 hours just so you understand how quick he got it done. It is a bit pricey but you're paying for great quality that last! read more

I have gotten three tattoos with Jae, and plan to get many more from him. His shop is clean and well maintained, with vibrant and intriguing art filling up the walls. As I've gotten more tattoos and have learned more about the art, it makes what Jae does all the more impressive. Simply put, Jae produces world class tattoos. The energy inside the shop is positive, due in large part to Jae's amazing attitude and engagement with his clients. I highly recommend Electric Lotus. read more

This guy is awesome. He is friendly and does walk in's. He is a little pricey, but he also does a great job - I would say he was worth the price. Very clean place, in a beautiful neighborhood, and was attended to well. Highly recommend. read more

Jae, the owner, has done quite a bit of work for me from cover ups to brand new tattoos. I've had nothing but positive experiences with him and the shop, and the work has been absolutely amazing. They are always very professional and take a vested interest in the work they are doing for you. Anthony is the other tattooer and while I've never gotten work from him, I saw first hand a large piece he did on a woman's leg that came out looking incredible. He's always very friendly and engaging in conversation. Just overall a great experience when you go to this shop, and the work speaks for itself. read more

Getting a tattoo with my son Jared for his birthday ( gets one every year. ) Nice place. Clean and a friendly staff. Sheila the tattoo artist was a total pro and does outstanding work. Reasonable prices. A shop that I will definitely go back to for more work. read more

I got a tattoo about 3.5 years ago. I went in and concepted with Jae and a week later had it done on my left calf. I got another tattoo from Jae 5 days ago from Jae. Emailed him pics and the concept about 2 weeks prior. Went in loved yet again what he created and had it done on my other calf. The place is very clean, the machines, floor, chairs, etc all very clean. He has a knack for creating a piece that captures exactly what you want. He asks are you ok during the whole tattoo to make sure you are comfortable (as can be LOL) during it. Before you leave you get aftercare instructions and can call or contact him/electric lotus at any time (via phone, facebook, their website). Highly Highly recommend Jae and his crew to all - whether your first tattoo or more. read more

Electric Lotus is awesome! I got my first tattoo ever from Jae in December. I went back in January for my second from Simon. Simon and Jae are both very experienced and put me at ease throughout the process. I am extremely happy with how the tattoos look and will be returning for another soon! I highly recommend Electric Lotus. read more

Great work. And let's face it, when it comes to something as permanent as tattoos, great quality is all that matters.

I got my first tattoo here from Jae about 8 years ago-the colors still look as good as new. All the artists at the shop have their own style, and are willing to help customize your piece. I love going into the shop when i am in town just to check it out, it is beautiful! read more

Jae Connor, owner of Electric Lotus Tattoo, has been tattooing over 15 years. When he set his shop up in Boonton, his creative energy and respect for the art and history of tattoo were evident right off the bat. His talent was more than evident! Jae's style is one-of-a-kind. His love for tattooing and knack for color shine through every piece I've ever seen him do. I have several pieces from him and I'm constantly complimented. His work - I've seen small tattoos he's done and humongous ones he's done - I'm always blown away. Jae's got a group of artists working for him that also deserve kudos for their talent. Each of them pour their soul and love for art into every tattoo they do, and it shows all the time. Just go into the shop to look around - you'll leave with a tattoo, believe me...! read more

I have gotten several tattoos at Electric Lotus and have never been disappointed. While I go there to get tattoos from Simon Velez - I also got a tattoo from Jae, the owner of the shop. Great atmosphere, excellent work and good prices. Don't hesitate to give Simon or Jae your business, you really won't regret it. read more
