    Awesome studio, creative artists, pristine work. Great overall experience......highly recommended!

    Left is what I asked for

    Not sure if I'm updating/removing this review properly, (on the app, sorry!) In response to that: You can call it micromanaging, and I clearly hit a nerve, but the purple and blue blobs look awful, I know it was my first, but they're not even filled in. There are plenty of micro-tattoos that don't look like this. I used pretentious because "we stand by our reputation" is a little rude/passive for an immediate response to a first time customer, but I understand getting defensive. You said you have 30 years of the opposite rep and that's amazing! Good for you guys:) I guess that's why I was a little surprised by these results. I brought up my other experiences as a comparison. I was able to work with them using (what I considered) communication. Apparently in your case it's "nitpicking" and "confusion". Luckily I didn't "sabotage" my own tattoo with that. As another rebuttal to your accusation, they were able to change something halfway through too (by their own recommendation), from what I had originally wanted. But you're right, you should have absolutely declined if you couldn't do it and I'd have respected that. Luckily I found someone who did/could, so thank you for the half apology and retouch offer. I did thank you for being accommodating with booking my appointment so soon, I never said booking with you was ever an issue, and the appointment was nice, you were all super nice and I felt comfortable. I tried to specify that it's the results I'm not happy with, so no need to try and use that against me either :) I could have brought up how you wrote "I can see how that's not what you asked for" but there was no need. I probably wouldn't have even written this if it wasn't for my other tattoos or this slightly passive aggressive response. If I didn't update/remove it properly you can let me know if you still need me to.

    An awesome job done by tattoo artist Peter. My first tattoo and this tattoo place made me feel welcome, helped me with design and did a great job. I was very nervous but the artist was very convincing before, during and after it was done. This place has a vibe. Definitely coming back for my second ink sometime later.

    Jim and the fine people at hand of glory really do have glorious hands when it comes to tattooing. I was in Brooklyn for a week with my girlfriend and we wanted to get tattoos, we both got tattooed by Jim. He was super professional and does amazing work. Will be coming back next time we are in NY.

    This is the great tattoo studio! My husband bought a gift certificate as a Christmas gift for me. It was an awesome surprise. And I am so happy he chose this place for my first tattoo. Dusty did a great job! I sent him a couple of pictures and explained how I want them to combine and he made exactly what I wanted (even better!). The whole process of doing tattoo was just 45 minutes! And no pain at all. Very clean and nice place. And definitely talented people. Thank you, Dusty and Hand of Glory. Already thinking about getting the second tattoo... :)

    I was shopping around for a place to get my first tattoo done when my sister suggested Hand of Glory. I looked into the shop itself and was impressed with all of their resident artists, as well as the reviews on Yelp. I walked in the next day to see if I could schedule a consultation with Ron Mor, one of their resident artists. The shop is immaculate and run very well; I was greeted by two very nice staff members who helped me get a consultation and appointment for that afternoon. I met with Ron, who was incredibly nice from the start and more than willing to do my tattoo. He put my fears at ease and made getting my first tattoo not only a breeze but a great experience overall. Ron is a top-notch artist and it took him under a half hour to do my tattoo and it's absolutely gorgeous. While the tattoo I got is simple text, his other works (@ronmortattoos on Instagram) show his incredible talent for portraits and practically everything else you could think of. After the job was done, since my blood sugar was real low, he had me lay on the table for a little while, and gave me a piece of candy and a cup of water to help. After resting a bit, I went home with a beautiful piece of artwork on my arm. Overall, the shop is fantastic, Ron is an incredibly talented artist, and I'd come back to Hand of Glory, and Ron, in a heartbeat.

    It's sort of tough to know where to begin with this review. All I can say is that I stood outside of the shop (was going to see if the team had availability for a walk-in) for about 20 minutes because I was so nervous to walk in. I think I had an unconscious bias that I wasn't "cool enough" or "tough enough" to walk in to a tattoo shop and just ask for a tattoo. It was the smiling faces and friendly demeanor of the artists inside (yes, I creepily popped my head in the window to try and muster up the courage to just open the damn door) that made me just go in. I was greeted, so incredibly kindly by Peter Vincent who was not only patient and made me feel comfortable being new to the shop and not sure that I was ready for my first tattoo but he was also so professional that I knew I was in good hands. I think we forget sometimes that a tattoo is also a medical procedure and the process Hand of Glory has in place really puts your mind at ease and makes you feel taken care of and very much safe. So lets get to the tattoo, Peter draws up what I was interested in, shows me and collects feedback from me (I LOVED it and didn't want to change a thing!) then kindly shared next steps through each phase of the process to manage my expectations and anxiety. I think there is a lot of impact in "I am going to do X now, it will take X minutes, then we will do X." Once he is all set up and ready to go, I walk back to a very welcoming (and I repeat, NON JUDGEMENTAL space!) and Peter directs me to our space and where I will lay down. Here I am, laying down with my pants down (tattoo ended up on my upper leg) in a space full of other artists and customers and yet I felt so incredibly safe. I think it goes without saying that there were no leering eyes or even so much as a glance that made an anxious person like me feel nervous. I truly loved that part of the experience. Tattooing is about to start, Peter talks me through the importance of breathing, how to make myself comfortable and of course, to let him know if I need a break. Somehow, once he started I didn't feel much pain at all. I was oddly so relaxed and so comfortable that I was more focused on that feeling rather than the feeling of the tattoo. It was obvious that I was in good hands and Peter really knew his stuff. Even though I didn't ask for it, Peter was thoughtful enough to ask if I needed a break and how I was feeling about halfway through. I was fine though so we kept on rollin! Tattoo is done! It is beautiful and perfect and everything I wanted and MORE. Peter gives me some privacy to get dressed and meets me up front to ask any questions I may have and pay. Again, an incredible transaction. Peter thoughtfully describes aftercare verbally, then provides me with a little card with aftercare directions, thanks me and shakes my hand. I am blown away by how awesome this experience was. Thank you to the team for everything.

    Do you take walk-ins?

    Hi Mary! Yes we do, with Monday through Thursday being the days you’re most likely to be taken care of promptly. If an appointment for a specific time is more your speed, please call the shop to make arrangements (718-832-5020). Thank you!

    My tat is almost 20yrs old and somewhat faded. Do you do recoloring?

    Hello Kathy, We can certainly have a look at what you are working with and go over some options.… 

    Hi! Do you give estimates via e-mail by any chance if sent details/pics of tattoo wanted? Thanks

    Hello Tipya, unfortunately we aren't able to quote tattoos via email as the cost will depend on which artist you would like to work with, and the final design and size. We can set you up with a consultation with your chosen artist via email though,…

    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.
