I have been looking for a place to get a piercing for a long time. When I came here, I didn't feel…read morethey were as clean as they should have been. I went to the bathroom...by the way, the location is on Bergen Avenue, and I noticed the bathroom was not clean. The bathroom should be clean like a hospital. I asked how much for a navel piercing, and the guy told me $35 and the guy didn't ask me for ID. I didn't get the piercing here because I felt like hygiene wasn't a priority when it should have been.

Bang Bang studio definitely has a reputation and an air about them and once you see their work, you…read moreget it. Located in a trendy neighborhood in Manhattan, you walk in and feel the vibe. From their merch to the studio layout, you are transported to a mindset that makes you feel like you were just invited to the cool kids table. I have done two beautiful pieces here at Bang Bang. The first was with Oscar Akermo and the second was with Maks. These artists are just two among many amazing artists that have worked here. My latest experience with Maks was great from the design consultation to the full day session. He was communicative and patient. He understood my vision and was able to bring it to life. Bang Bang is definitely on the higher end of the price spectrum but that comes with the quality of work that you would expect. Highly recommend.

Being my first tattoo and wanting to honor my mother, who passed last year, I knew there was only…read moreone shop to trust. I have been following Bang Bang for years on Instagram, and I've always appreciated the creativity of each artist. They're always on the cutting edge, and they deliver. I loved everything about my experience. It was easy to reach out to them, and they quickly responded.. You knew from the beginning they wanted to curate a meaningful experience for me, and were happy to answer any questions along the way. The shop itself is beautiful, bursting at the seams with personality. The buzz and the energy inside are worth the trip alone. It is so immaculate, relaxing, and inviting. It's a perfect space to create and receive art. I was honored to work with Solar, an incredible and kind artist. I knew her style would be an ideal fit. Her intricate and delicate line detail is stunning to say the least. Her designs are beautiful. My tattoo means so much to me, and it's everything I wanted. Solar made it more meaningful and helped guide me with placement. She was a pleasure to work with and I can't wait to work with her on the next one! Everyone and everything at the shop is first class all the way. I've also been using the Forever Care Kit, and I highly recommend it.

My friend and I decided, on a limb, to go get tattoos done tonight. I yelped the area and Kings…read moreCounty Tattoo popped up. Joe, the shop owner was friendly on the phone and answered all my questions. We were able to walk in at 9:45 (they close at 10) to get our tats done. I was forwarned that Anthony, the tattoo artist, had a client in his chair and we would have to wait. No biggie. In the meantime we were entertained by Joe, who had mad jokes and was super cool. He was also helpful with giving us ideas concerning the placement and sizing of the tattoos we wanted. Since the shop has recently moved to a new location (6008 20th ave) it is definitely looking like a construction site in there. Sheet rock and wooden beams are fully noticeable and the space itself is small. Once I got in Anthony's chair everything went great. He was thorough, kept his workstation clean and made sure I was happy with everything before he got started. He was done tattooing me in 20 mins, my friend 15 mins and our tats came out perfect. The only thing I would complain about is the pricing. It was a bit higher than I would've expected but, I guess you pay for quality work. (Or maybe I'm just super cheap, who knows?) I will definitely return next time I need work done.

For all the money my cousin spent on his tattoo of birds, it was definitely worth it. If you have…read morethe sudden urge of wanting a tattoo without an appointment, this it the place to get it from. They are willing to stay pass business hours just for your satisfaction. Literally everyone that works there are ultra friendly. I'm thinking will be my next spot to get my second tattoo.

Soooo I unfortunately have to update my review - my fine line tattoo faded completely after a…read morecouple of weeks. I came in for a touch up and she was nice enough to put the tattoo somewhere less delicate than my finger since she had to redo it all anyway. The new one unfortunately has almost faded completely after two weeks, leading me to believe that it was less a matter of location, but technique. It looks terrible. I'm either going to have to wait for it to fade completely or go to a new shop to have it redone. Sigh.

I found myself staring at my hand tattoo a lot and trying to convince myself it's not so bad and I…read moreshouldn't write this review, but I saw that someone else also speak up about their previous experience with Chang so here is my experience. Upon consultation I told him exactly what I wanted and asked if it was possible to do. Placement for hand/finger tattoos can be really tricky. We even drew directly on my hand as reference and he said everything was doable. Come day of, he told me I couldn't do what I initially wanted and I had to pivot on the spot. I wasn't ready to redo the tattoo in the window of time I had booked so the tattoo didn't turn out as I had hoped. I also mentioned I wanted my hand tattoo to be fine line and used many reference photos. Everything was fine during consultation but when it was being tattooed, all of my preferences went out the window. On top of that, I asked if we can make minor adjustment to one of the 3 tattoos (one of the "5" didn't have a very long top line so it just looked like a very round comma), and he refused. Also, after finishing the first two he was fed up that we had a third one to do (even tho this was approved during consultation and I had paid for it). I highly suggest another artist for your ink work. I still regret coming here til this day. Pricing: now that I've gotten tattoos for over 4 years, these tattoos were quoted way over priced. (I was young and dumb tho so my lack of experience paid this outrageousness). It was a smiley face on my pinky, 3 finger tattoos of dots in a string of dots with a small diamond, and a set of numbers (7 digits) for $1300

She was exactly the kind of certified and qualified professional you'd want for any type of piercing. The entire process blew me away--from the friendly check-in, stud selection, surgical level sanitization of the entire space, the detailed placement and piercing itself... I feel super blessed to have found her. She was super attentive to my needs and patient with my questions. I was moved by the level of care she had for my first time, and I would recommend her a million times over. Can't wait to go back for another set some day. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Shasta!!!

We talk about everything and her hygiene is so in point, I know I'm going to come out of my session healing well.

The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and comfortable--you can feel the creative energy as soon as you walk in. Nico and Anna, in particular, have spent hours with me, patiently planning, sketching, and refining designs until they're absolutely perfect. Their dedication and artistry are on another level--the attention to detail, creativity, and care that goes into their work is unmatched. Each tattoo I've gotten here feels like a true piece of art that I'll be proud to wear for life. What I love most is how accommodating and kind everyone is. They make the process collaborative and personal, which really sets them apart from so many other shops. It's not just about getting a tattoo--it's about having an experience you'll remember.
