Had my second tattoo done by Lynn Hoang and she is unbelievable as a professional tattoo artist and…read moreI would say she is one of the best in the business. I have seen her work on Instagram and so I was not surprised by the quality of art that she is capable of. But when my piece was finalized, I was mind blown and speechless at the level of art that she was able to create. She was able to take the ideas I had and elevate it to a whole new level. She truly is a professional, never rushed and took her time with the smallest detail and I can't thank her enough for this master piece that she had created. On top of all that she showed great hospitality and was very accommodating. This was definitely worth every dollar I had spend and I look forward to more projects with Lynn in the future. If you really want your mind to be at ease with your tattoo, look no further because Lynn will make sure you walk out of here happy!

It may be a little early for a review but I have plans to come back and get a tattoo that invokes…read morethe reason why I came to planet earth. This tat can only be completed by one of the best tattoo artist who uses vision to describe her work of art. And believes that the future is in her hands. I have some ideas that I want to share with my tattoo artist known as X. The shop is located in a quaint side of Brooklyn that surrounded by other professional workspaces. As i visited this location I could clearly see the difference in lost shops and how this one is laid out. It has an open floor plan which relieves the customer of that claustrophobic feeling with plastered walls and loose fitting curtains. It is very clean, well lit from natural light with at least 3 stations for tattooing. I met Luis who is an amazing artist from Venezuela. His work can be found on the web. One of their new artist is mine. She goes by the nickname X- she was working at the Hawaii location and just relocated to Brooklyn. Her work and journey to the tattoo industry is phenomenal! You can read a small window of her background in this link: https://issuu.com/flourishdigitalmagazine/docs/flourish_digital_magazine_-_september_-_october_f/13 Allow her to design your next statement. X has a way of bringing out the details that work with your purpose. For me, this will be my Christmas gift to myself. For you, it may be a part of your higher calling. All of the artist are trained and refined by the legendary and world renown artist Robert Pho- a creative genius who's tattooing is recognized international for his black and grey works (see link): https://www.outlookindia.com/outlook-spotlight/robert-pho-wins-hearts-by-getting-people-inked-with-his-beautiful-art--news-201123/amp I would be surprised if he opened another shop in another part of this galaxy because he is out of this world! All I am saying is this: if you are going to get something on your body that last forever, the artist and platform art Skin Design is where you want to start and end.

Let me start off by saying I love my tattoo courtesy of Big Mike. He did a great job and I hope to…read morebe back again. Now, I was a walk-in but I had emailed with them several times regarding price and availability. I appreciate that they told me to call before coming in (which I did) because I didn't want to go in vain. Big Mike is super nice, chill and very easy to talk to. I'm a teacher and he's a soon to be art teacher so we bonded over that. Really cool guy and very patient and understanding. Mike took the time to search for fonts that resembled what I wanted and then trying out different sizes, never once rushing the process which I appreciated. Once the tattoo outline was placed on my skin, he again asked me if the placement was what I wanted and size, again thanks for doing that. Overall, loved my experience here, have & will continue to recommend. Super clean, friendly artists, in & out in 30 mins. Thank you for making me feel comfortable the whole time and good luck with the edTPA mike! P.S.- I came here on a rainy day around 3pm so it was kind of empty and then picked up so piece of advice: email & call beforehand.

I'm extremely upset with the piercing side of this shop. I asked a person there with help opening…read moreup my 8 gauge septum ring, and the first thing i noticed was the look of uncertainty. The second thing was the lack of correct equipment. He used thick rusty pliers (which is incredibly risky because this piercing is STILL HEALING!!) and scissors instead of ring opening pliers of flat nose pliers. My brand new, expensive jewlery broke in his hands without compensation. He stated "this is the risk that you take". However, no risk was stated and there was no debriefing done. I've had rings of a similar gauge opened just fine. I'm very disappointed because My jewelry broke before I could wear it out and it was a waste of money because I cannot wear it anymore. He stated to me that "i've never seen a septum piercing this large before" which i could understand, but to me it shows that he should've declined the job if he knew he didn't have experience in it. This is my second weird experience with my septum piercing at this shop. The first time was when the piercer tried telling me what gauge i was at (assumed 16) and debated with me about with me knowing it was a 12. Then proceeded to say 20 gauge is thicker and 16 is thinner, which is opposite. The people on the piercing side here do not know what they are doing.

Was hoping to grab a piece of flash via a walk in. No patrons were there, so they were eager to…read morehelp out. Picked out a piece of flash for my lower forearm. Was quoted $400 for a black & grey piece that was roughly palm sized. I thought that was an insane price, given he pulled it straight from the book with no alterations, so I politely declined. I looked around for a bit longer to check out smaller pieces, but I was getting major bad vibes. I decided to leave, & the artist I was working with told me "get your money up & come back." If you like being tattooed by total douchebags, you will love this spot!

I spent some time in new york over the summer and was determined to have someone clean up the trash…read morethat i had on my are. Luckily i met with jeremy for a consultation and he said no problem. he even worked with one of his other clients to rearrange appointments so i could get the time need to finish the tattoo. he not only cleaned up what i had, but gave new life to the whole piece with original design and amazing color. if i had more time in new york i would definitely be having Jeremy design something custom for me. The only tattoo artist i would even consider in NYC

NYArtMan (aka Jeremy Garrett) is one of New York city's oldest tattoo artists and possibly one of…read moreits best kept secrets. First the facts: trained as a traditional painter; decided that painting like Dega would not get him far; inept at keeping 9 to 6 corporate jobs even though he was requested to work in variuos high-level design jobs in prominent graphics design firms; started tattooing when it was not "welcome as an art form"; street-wise hard worker who has seen it all and done it all. Now the fun facts: serene personality (at least when he is tattooing), amazing design talent (can make dreams come true through a paragraph of description), incredibly sensitive to sanitizing his environment (it's quite hard to get an infection from his tattooing environment, not with all that green soap, alcohol and germicide he uses), no fuss, no mess, no kidding, strict business attitude, will not make you wait, will not make you do things you don't want to, anything and everything is doable only if it's doable - he'll look at your misdesigned tattoo and tel you right away how long it may take him, how hard it is going to be and what it will be like; if he can't he'll say he can't, if he can then he'll deliver exactly that. Pass the advertising section, let's talk a bit about his art. I love Jeremy's designs, period. He's the quintessential comic book guy and his designs remind me of DC comic's glory days. The biggest reason why I love his work is possibly due to the fact that our tastes coincide. He only does original work, it's quite hard to convince him to do somebody else's design on you - not impossible, but you'd have to try real hard. As in any "real" tattoo artist, it's very important to check out their work and see how you feel towards their designs. If I wanted a Yakuza style tattoo, I would have gone to somebody else, or a HR Giger type of design, or a Hindu type of work, or a tribal design (which I seem to hate btw :)). So, be wise, take it slow, do your research and then choose your artist. Final note: Jeremy is a hard worker and has an immaculate business ethic. One other reason that I love working with him. He's been tattooing over 20 years and he's done thousands of people's tattoos; his experience is another reason why I love working with him. There is an auora of efficiency in the air when he's working and it makes you feel really safe and committed. One other final note after the last final one: Jeremy is extremely busy :) so make your appointment as soon as you're done with consulting session, heck, make 4 or 5 appointments for the followthroughs before hand; saves a lot of time. Obviously another final note is due: He does not have a tattoo parlor, you won't find his store on the street, there are no signs, there are no walk-ins and there is no advertisement. He has a small art studio on the 12th floor. Nice music, clean, quiet environment, no distractions, no visitors, no nothing. Pure art. I would not let any other tattoo artist touch me. PS: I did a right arm, elbow to shoulder sleeve work with him. Totally original idea, design based on my description. He nailed the design and produced what I had dreamed of in my mind in one shot. I am absolutely blown away. PS2: You're investing in something that you will carry on your body for-ever; until the day you die! Yes, he is pricey, but you get what you pay for! And this is one thing that I would not be looking for a bargain in.
