    My gfs and I went in there sat june 18th for quick nyc vacay tattoos. What was supposed to be teensy quick tattoos ended up being 3 hours of our night in an empty studio. The artist they gave us, we later found out was a newb and it was her first time doing fingers, but we were already being inked so too late to back out then. After three hours and being charged a min of 150 with no check ins or guidance of more senior tattoo artists we ended up with our tatts. Which at first glance were decent considering they were so simple. We are both two weeks in and realized the job was terrible, and I mean looks like it was done in my garage by my four year old. the lines are squiggly and half the tatt is non existent bc she didn't go deep enough. I've sent three emails and one phone call (to a changed phone number) to try to recover any funds since we don't live there or signed any type of waiver to no avail. The response I got "the manager received this email and is working on it"..... ummmm how?? Don't go here unless you want to spend half your day and waste your money for something you could prolly do yourself with a prison shiv and ink

    Before and after exactly 1mth later. Tattoo artist Carlos.

    Trying to find a tattoo parlor isn't hard but trying to find a talented tattoo artist is a needle in a haystack especially when you're getting a your first arm piece. I wanted to get a studio ghibli collage of all my favorite movies and getting the faces and details correct is extremely important. I spoke with Carlos (the only artist I've met with no tattoos) who was extremely patient with me and my questions. I was very picky on what characters I wanted and the details added on the tattoo. Sending him over 20 characters he was able to form the perfect collage with all the details I wanted to add. He was able to detect the smallest details making it perfect. When it came to the day of the tattoo, Carlos was very very professional. His station was clean and very organized. The atmosphere was awesome, love the decors and the wall paintings they have around the shop. Place was clean and organized. Not small and shabby. The place smells clean and a hint of butter. Staff were very friendly and outgoing. Every customer who walked in was greeted professionally and was very informative with every question being asked. When Carlos showed me the sketch I was in LOVE. The first sketch on my arm I was fine with it but because of my toothpick arms he wanted to make it perfect and redid it until it was perfect. The tattoo took almost 6hr. Pain never bothered me. I've notice how often he was changing his gloves, how organized, clean/ sanitized the session was and it made me feel comfortable. Needles were kept clean. He applied the shops "Hustlers butter" while tattooing and it was soothing making it feel less dry. I didn't want the tattoo to be in color and I asked him to make it look more of a sketch than a coloring book. The details this man sees is insane. The final result was stunning, jaw dropping. He gave me informative instructions on aftercare and checked in to see how my tattoo was doing. This is artist cares for his work and you can tell he loves what he does. My friends and family is in love with it and everyone who sees my tattoo stops me to gazed over the details. Compliments on his work. My husband and I are looking into getting more tattoos in the furture and finding an artist now won't be hard. I also recommend getting their "hustlers butter" for aftercare. Not too greasy and smells great. A small amount goes a long way.

    Simple tat done by Pierre

    This was my first time to Hustlers Parlour and I came via the recommendation of some friends of Facebook. The piece I got done was pretty small (see my photos) and fairly easy to do, so not much to write about in terms of technicality or level of difficulty. In total, it was probably about 30 minutes of tattooing and I paid $163 with tax, which seemed a little high compared to the original quote of $100. But it was definitely worth it. My artist was Pierre and he seemed like a pretty cool guy. He's been at this shop for a couple of years but has a lot of experience elsewhere. The shop was very clean and everyone was very professional. I can't complain at all and plan to come back here for future work.

    Exceptional! Monikka Velvet is a ROCK STAR! She managed to get 4 Alabama girls tatted up! We started our morning at Two Door Tavern and decided, on a whim, that it was time to find a tattoo shop. Little did the Hustler Parlour know we would practically be camped out there this past Sunday! The whole staff was beyond gracious! They hooked us up with Monikka and it was one of the highlights of our trip! She was patient and efficient yet precise, knowledgeable, and personable! The girl knows her stuff!

    It's a masterpiece.

    Great guys. I enjoyed their vibe and welcoming environment. My first tattoo in New York and I'm very pleased with it. Will definitely come back for another one

    Amazing store with the most amazing people. Everyone there is insanely talented and this shop will always have a place in my heart. All tattoos done by Carlos

    Loved loved this place!! Hustlers has a great vibe to it - decor, people, (hipster) location. I did get my tattoo done by amazing guest artist, Igor Mitrenga who was in NYC for the tattoo convention, but the staff and ambiance at Hustlers were awesome. I was able to chat with the owners, other artists, staff and customers so it made the place very chill and comfy to be 'at home' with (especially when you're there for 11 hours)! Will definitely come back for either another tattoo and/or piercing. Thank you guys for your hospitality and thanks for having Igor there to do my awesome arm artwork!

    I got three finger tattoos done, which cost $326. After a couple days they began the peeling process and underneath the layer that peeled had literally zero pigment, so I spent $326 on temporary tattoos. How does an experienced tattoo artist fuck up like that? Then, I went back and had Wei, the original tattoo artist touch them up. Now it has been a few more days and one of the tattoos is once again peeling, leaving no permanent ink behind. How do you fuck up a tattoo twice? I have a other tattoo on my finger that was done elsewhere and it came out perfect the first time. I have never experienced a tattoo that literally peeled off leaving nothing behind. I would not recommend this artist to anyone else and will be reaching out for a refund via the Better Business Bureau. I'm absolutely disgusted.

    I was visiting Brooklyn this week with hopes of getting a tattoo during my trip. When I entered this place, I already knew it was going to happen. I have always dealt with a lot of negativity in my life, and I wanted this to be something positive in my own way. When we entered Pierre explained the process and asked for the ideas. As soon as I explained, he understood what I meant and wanted. Also, he seemed to understand what this tattoo would mean for me. The next day I came in and saw that he is very profesional with his equipment. Making sure it was clean, new, and that the client was comfortable. After an hour and a couple of minutes, I finally have something beautiful on my body. This tattoo is so much more than I could have expected. I am glad to had found Hustlers Parlour and Pierre.

    Helix piercing

    I had my helix pierced here this weekend (walk-in). I was taken back by how I felt absolutely no pain during or after. *Knock on wood* no infection and I absolutely love the placement. Will be back for more! It was a little pricey but I expect that from any piercing spot in the city. Cleaning solution sold separately.

    Its been 5 days and my helix is healing well. The price was a bit higher than expected ( ~60), but money well spent.

    Pierre did my tattoo, he was great, took his time getting the placement correct, and filled the tattoo in perfectly!

    Visiting town for a few days and wanted to get a bit of art done. Got in contact with Josh and he…read moreworked with me to get something personalized and really cool. Josh is an amazing artist and the studio is one of a kind!! Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in town for some more art!!

    I found tattooist Yeonnie through a friend who came here to get a tattoo of her cats. I really…read moreliked her art and when my friend showed me her versions of windchimes and norigae style tattoo, i was sold. After my first, I've been perusing what would be the best style for my second (I really wanted to get a tattoo dedicated to my cat, Matcha). I instantly fell in love and as fate has it, there was an inspo photo of an omamori with jiji (from kiki's) and cherry blossoms that hit my instagram. Instantly, I knew that this is the style I would like so I messaged Yeonnie and she responded quick. She will do the sketch a day before your appointment (you'll get a cute sketch by midday) and you can request any changes. I absolutely adored the edition of my cartooni-fied cat. Now that I have it on my upper left arm, I am so happy to have a few of the things I personally love forever on my body. Thank you :) I definitely would recommend her. She's quick so the painful moments does not last as long. highly recommend!!
