Looking for the best piercing/tattoo place in central New York? Well, look no further. You found…read moreit!!! My friend Nikki has been wanting her nose pierced for months now but couldn't find a legitimate place to get it done. Finally, I talked to my friend Tasha who recommended Inkorporated Tattoo Studio to me. She said she got her nose pierced there and it was a breeze. I called them up for my friend and they got us right in. Their piercer, Jeff, takes walk ins from 4-8pm everyday. When I called it was around 1pm and he wasn't in yet, but they called him up and he swung right over to do my friends piercing. No hassle. It was so easy. They are very accommodating. Jeff was awesome. My friend was a little nervous about the piercing but he walked her through step by step. He was so chill, friendly, and awesome! The vibes are so awesome at this place. They even have a dog Remy who is absolutely beauuutiiifullll! They also do some amazing tattoo work. Check out the pictures. I wouldn't go anywhere else in central new York for a piercing or tattoo. This place is legit. Check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!!!

I've been to quite a few piercing and tattoo shops but I real appreciated my experience with the…read morepiercer here, Gina. She made me feel really comfortable the whole time and I would not hesitate to return to her. This day, I had my rook pierced (ear cartilage) and it was so quick and easy. I also requested that she change and replace the jewelry in my tragus (another ear piercing). Once she called me in, I was in and out in less than 20 minutes. She is the master piercer here and you could tell she knew what she was doing. The major difference between her and other places, is she will use beautiful starter jewelry. The curved bar she put in my newly pierced rook was a double ended prong gem and I was so excited and I am so pleased. Most places will use a standard barbell and you have to settle with that until it's healed and you can return to have it changed. Since she pierced with this, I am set for years. She also put a beautiful gem in my tragus. I think this is the best place to get pierced in Albany.

The girl who did my piercing was super nice, needles and jewelry had clearly been autoclaved and she placed the piercing perfectly as far as I can tell. It's healing up nicely so far! I also got a few other piercings and a tattoo done here over the years. Never had any issues.

My 14 year old daughter and I came in to get our second earlobe piercings, and we had a fantastic…read moreexperience with Caleb! This was our first time getting a piercing done professionally, rather than the usual childhood experience with piercing guns at mall stores, and Caleb was incredibly kind, patient, and professional throughout the whole process. Caleb took the time to explain everything clearly, including how the piercings would be done and what to expect. He was very precise with placement, even measuring carefully to make sure everything was symmetrical and that we were both happy with how it looked before starting. After the piercings, he went over the aftercare instructions in detail and made sure we understood how to care for them properly. I was honestly more nervous than my daughter, but Caleb's calm and friendly demeanor made the entire experience feel safe, comfortable, and positive. Highly recommend Caleb and this shop, especially for first-timers, teens, or anyone who might be a little anxious. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!
