My daughter had a double helix piercing done here in March 2026 while visiting Newburgh. The piercer used hoop-style jewelry for the initial piercing. Within about two weeks, she experienced complications and we ended up needing to have the jewelry removed by another professional, along with medical treatment. Based on what we were told during follow-up care, straight jewelry is often recommended for healing, so this was concerning to us. I reached out to Melissa to share what happened, but felt my concerns weren't really addressed. I offered to send her pictures but she declined. This was a difficult experience for my daughter, especially since she has had numerous piercings without issues. I would recommend anyone considering getting a piercing here ask detailed questions about the jewelry and aftercare to make sure it align with best practices. We will not return. read more

See all

Everything is amazing from the shop to my wonderful tattoo artist! I've been to this shop twice the cleanliness the staff everything is amazing! Theresa is beyond amazing I followed her to this shop and she did an outstanding start to my tattoo. It's the best when you can have a great conversation and also get a 5 hour tattoo! Thank you so much read more

This is in regards to the piercings. My 2 friends and I got piercings here all at the same time. They all got infected, and 2 of us had to go to urgent care to get cream to put over the infected piercing. My other friend had skin go over her piercing, and she couldn't hear out of the ear bc of it. Prior to this, 2 of us went back and the piercer said just keep up with the upkeep. LIKE WHAT? I then tried to get the charge disputed bc they had to take out the piercing and the shop denied me my damn money! I should have gone to Graceland like I always do. When Allison, the professional piercer at Graceland took out the piercing, she even admitted it was a not a good job. NEVER GET UR PIERCINGS HERE. THEY WILL DO A BAD JOB AND NOT GIVE U BACK UR MONEY! Extremely frustrating experience. read more

Very disappointing experience and wish I would have read more reviews prior to choosing this place. We went here because it was cheaper and closer than the shop who pierced my daughter's nose. I guess this is one of those instances where you get what you pay for. After piercing her with a double helix Melissa said call me with any issues call me with any questions. As soon as we saw the jewelry we were concerned because it looked like the cheapest metal possible. A week later her ear was so blown up and tight on the hoops that they were cutting off my daughters blood flow in her ear meanwhile the injection sites was oozing puss. She called the shop and was told Melissa was with customers. She called the next day and was told that Melissa was on vacation after telling them what the problem was. She wouldn't even let us touch her ear to try and get the earrings out. Meanwhile she called her previous piercer and she offered to go into her shop to meet her when the shop was closed. We made a trip to the ER where she had to get 5 shots of lidocaine in her ear for them to be able to get them out as well as prescribing an antibiotic. This was the most unprofessional experience we've had in a shop. This was part of her birthday present as and now she's traumatized after this experience and isn't sure she'll have them redone at her PREVIOUS PIERCER! Care more about your customers. Just want to warn other parents so you don't have to see your child go through this. read more

This review is for Matt Matt Andreas has given me a fantastic stomach tattoo told him what I wanted he did a lot of research into it if you have time constraints or a difficult schedule he will definitely work with you and do right by you i definitely recommend him the shop also has a nice atmosphere to it read more

I had gotten my tragus pierced from another piercer. It had gotten really swollen and infected because the man had put a hoop in, instead of a stud. He also put the hoop at a terrible angle. The piercer at Millennium Tattoo is phenomenal and told me the truth. She said the piercing was at the wrong angle and she could easily change out the piercing for a stud but she said it would bother me and was honest. I appreciated her honesty and will be going here for future piercings! read more

Vrom was bomb.. I've gotten tattoos from all over the world and recommend here! Unexpected walk-in and a forever customer

*I want to note that this review is for the shop and Steve Kaiser.* Every time I think of an idea Steve goes beyond my expectations to make a custom tattoo that makes me feel like a million bucks when I walk out of the shop. He is experienced with the needle, gentle, and incredibly professional. Each time my tattoo heals perfectly and with minimal scabbing, if any! I would recommend Steve to anyone seeking a great tattoo. He also has the face of an angel and will give solid life advice or let you borrow his drill if you need to. One time, I walked out of an appointment with a fresh tat on a rainy day and I noticed I had a flat tire and Steve came to the rescue to change my tire!! Now, that's what I call 5 star tat service!!!! read more

Got three zodiac signs done by Steve yesterday. The shop was extremely busy and I did have to wait, but since I had been a walk in it was fine. Steve was very thorough in getting my tattoo ready. He took his time and the results were great. It had been awhile since had gotten ink but will be back. read more

called in for an SOS belly button ring complication last month and melissa was an absolute doll, she took me right away and was so calming given the circumstances. she had so much info on aftercare, cleaning, and piercing knowledge so i knew i was in good hands. thank u for making me feel safe and see u for round 3 in november! read more

Got my nose re-pierced yesterday and my appointment couldnt have been more than 15 minutes from start to finish. Melissa is really cool and does a great job. Super clean practices, and very informative! Thanks melissa! read more

Melissa is an absolute gem, with amazing taste in music! More so, she's a professional and thorough piercing artist. She measured, and measured again. She asked about what kind of jewelry I wanted in the long run and made sure I knew every step along the way. The equipment was sterile and the shop is clean with a comforting vibe! Thank you for my first piercing since 2009 Melissa! I will absolutely be back. read more

Visited Melissa six times for piercings - her "bed side" manner is amazing! She is great at making you feel comfortable. She's swift in executing the piercing itself, so it's as pain free as possible, and is incredibly responsive if you have any follow up questions about caring for the piercing! Highly recommend! read more

Millennium Tattoo - New daith piercing! - Tattoo Near Me - Newburgh, New York

I got a tattoo from VRM He is awesome. I had a prior Tattoo done of needle and thread at another shop and wanted scissors added to it. VRM knew exactly what I wanted and positioned them to go exactly how I wanted the scissors to look with the thread and needle. I'm very pleased with the end results and definitely will be back to book again with him. read more

*I want to note this review is for Steve Kaiser and not the shop* I worked with Steve Kaiser when he was at Electric Anvil and my tattoo resulted in a blowout. I tried emailing him and calling his new location but he has not responded to anything. Less than 2 months after my tattoo I already need to get a portion of it removed. Not only was he inexperienced with the needle, he is also incredibly unprofessional. Avoid working with him at all costs. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I booked an appointment over the phone with ERIK and he did not inform me that the $20 were non refundable. When I called to cancel my appointment with MELISSA she had a nasty attitude and blamed me for not knowing about the policy when ERIK didn't even mention it at the time of booking the appointment. Im upset with their service and their lack of responsibility. I've also tried to contact the owner FRANK but he's nowhere to be found. ***UPDATE: FRANK reached out, refunded me the $20 and we had a decent conversation. Glad we worked everything out. read more

Friendliest walk in experience I have ever had at a tattoo shop. Melissa (the piercer who I cannot fathom deserving any of the other lesser reviews) helped me put in replacement jewelry that I was having a hard time with on my own. She did so warmly, efficiently and safely/cleanly. She also welcomed me to sit and relax and look through the artists portfolios, which made me feel welcome and inclined to come back for future work. read more

Melissa was the person who pierced me. She was awesome . Thank you! She made sure my nips were perfect

So disrespectful and rude!!! We just stopped by to see if they sell tongue/lip rings. The door was closed but The sign said OPEN, we knocked three times until a person from inside the shop looked at us and then turned away without any answer! It says that they do walk ins (we didn't even need anything pierced, we just wanted to buy a lip ring) I get that some shops work by appointment ONLY, but the sign said OPEN and they do walk ins. Bottom line they didn't even grace us with a "hello" let alone open the door. Rude, disrespectful, will NEVER come back, this was completely unacceptable behavior! read more

I got my nose piercing done here and the service was great. I called ahead of time just to make sure the piercer was there, who is there on Friday's. I went and my nerves quickly went away. She was able to explain everything to me, making me feel at ease. When she pierced my nose, I honestly didn't even feel it. It's been about a month since I've gotten it done and I've had no problems. I would definitely come back in the future! Changed my review after reading the others. I would come here for a simple piercing but not ones like the others listed. I personally haven't had any issues with my nose though. read more

The owner/manager and piercer are the most unfriendly and rude people. They do not treat you like a paying customer and make you feel very uncomfortable. I purchased a gift certificate at a fund raiser which was not honored. Go somewhere else especially if you are feeling nervous about a tattoo or piercing. read more

Eric is super good recommend him all day!!!! Easy going free spirt type of guy, found my local tattoo man. Shop is very clean and has good vibes. The do walk-ins and if you have an appointment they are on time and ready to work! read more

I have seen some nice tattoos come out of this shop but I am not sure who the artist's were. What I can tell you is that they tattooed my daughter when she was 18. She is now 21. We were at a tattoo convention in NYC and the producer of America's worst tattoos saw it and asked her to please submit an application to be on the show. He was shocked at the poor quality of it. As well as the bad design and layout. It is simply lettering! How bad could it be? Bad! We've tried to get coverups or at least ideas for coverups from many different artists at different shops and nobody wants to touch it. A couple years ago I called the owner about the situation and he pretty much didn't believe me and said that if she liked it when she left and that if she approved the layout then it's not their fault that she doesn't like it. She was 18! And for some stupid reason she thought she would go and get her first tattoo without me. I'm over that, but I'm pissed that they gave her such a bad tattoo. Now she has to go through expensive laser treatments to lighten the tattoo enough to have someone attempt a cover-up. Be careful! read more

One star to the polite piercer. Guys there are fuckin rude. Never been there in my life, walked in, said hello. Two losers just stared at me like im nuts. Way to make nervous people with anxiety comfortable. Will not return, fuck off ! read more

Frankie's new shop and staff are great , nice clean and they take there time with every customer Above and beyond in all areas Keep up the good work read more

This place is top notch!! The artists are amazing and go out of their way to make you as comfortable as they can, and make sure you have a great experience getting tattooed. Everyone there is professional, and very eager to give you that kick ass tattoo you want. The shop is awesome! Very clean and tons of flash and other artwork. They also have the best piercer around. Jesse is the man! This dude knows just about everything there is to know about piercings. If you are in the area and you are even considering going any place other than Millennium for a tattoo or piercing, you need your head examined! read more

I got my very first tattoo done here for my 18th birthday by VRM. I showed him a small flower that I wanted, and I explained a few little changes I'd like to see. He came back a little while later with exactly what I had in mind, and asked me to hold onto the design and look at it for a while to be sure it was exactly what I wanted. He was extremely kind and patient throughout the whole process, and it made a situation that could have been quite scary very comfortable. He walked me through everything and afterward went through the aftercare instructions with me. The place was very clean and the prices are much more reasonable than a lot of the places I've been to in the area. In the end I love my tattoo, andI know I'll be back in the future!! read more

I got my septum pierced here about a year ago. It had to be pierced TWICE in the span of a few minutes because it wasn't done correcting the first time. Also, it smelled heavily like cig smoke and dust in there and the place didn't look clean. read more

This shop was the worst Tattoo shop I have ever walked into. First of all parking was terrible and walking to the shop the back porch had been filled with people just smoking and talking very rudely and loud. Walking into the shop it looked pretty nice and decent. The man at the front desk had no clue what he was doing and had no idea what the shops prices were and if they took my type of credit card. Next I asked to get my Daith pierced before this my friend had gotten her bottom went pierced and they first thing the pierced said was "I've never done this before" now as I was getting my piercings they lady was talking as if she knew all about it and did it a million times. Well she pierced my Daith in the completely wrong area causing me to pass out and on top of that she bent the needle herself after removing it from the package and didn't use a pre-bent packaged needle. The best part is I ended up going to the hospital because the swelling never went down two months later to find out that I had staph infection from the piercing. That was ridiculous being that I have had over 12 piercings and not one of them has ever been infected. I contacted the shop by phone and asked the lady who answered to find my record and email me a image of it so I could look over their agreement which she hung up the phone when she said I would be put on hold. That's not professional. I then messaged the shop via Facebook and got a ride and unprofessional response back also being told there was no record of my visit to them. I was very disappointed I had to see another pierced to remove the jewelry; the pierced I went to see to remove my jewelry had stated "whoever did this is an idiot and should not be piercing anyone" This was outrageous. I will never set foot in this shop again. And I would advise other not to as well. I would never recommend this shop to anyone. They were extremely rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional.

Millennium Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Newburgh, New York

I went in to get a belly button piercing and the piercer very unprofessional and was not understanding of my needs. Bad experience.

I'd give this place no stars if possible. The "doll" that does the piercings is Most likely the rudest person I've run into in a business setting. Avoid. read more

Excellent tattoo place. I had Ariel fix a tattoo that I had done in Albany back in 1993. It was a hand drawn mouse. I wanted to do a cover-up. Ariel took one look and told me he could fix it, no problem. A cover-up was out of the question because of the colors of the original tattoo, but Ariel explained what he would do. At the same sitting, I wanted a Chinese dragon done on my right forearm. I went online and printed out 5 different dragon styles. I was very indecisive about which one. Hell, it is a permanent decision. Ariel was very patient and we talked about it and I finally decided. He did a great job and even added some personal touches. He had previously given me a price that I thought was too low, but he honored his word. I respected that so I gave him a big tip. I had visited 5 other tattoo shop all over the area. I didn't get a good vibe from any of them. One guaranteed me that he could cover-up the mouse, which I later learned was impossible. There are a lot of dishonest tattoo artists that just want your money. You don't have to worry about that at Millenium. I would go back to Ariel anytime and I would recommend him 110%. read more

Recently got my conch and cartilage pierced. I walked in waited like 10-15min for her to be finished with someone else, and was pierced and out within the next 15mins. Super fast, smooth, clean, and neat piercings. No swelling, infections, or problems over 4 months later. Definitely going back to this place to see how they do with my tattoo. read more

ver friendly, got my septum done here a few months ago with 0 complications and yesterday i got my eyebrow pierced and i love it

Came here to get an stud to put in my ear at home and normally when piercers pick up unused and sterile earrings they wear gloves and keep it in a bag but here the woman walked to the back and came back with the earring in her hand dirtying it and put it in the bag and handed it to me like that, I purchased it and the moment I walked out the door and tossed the bagged earring in the nearest garbage can I could find. This isn't the first time I went there I previously got my tragus pierced and a couple days it got infected and had to take it out but I learned from my mistakes and decided to go to Graceland tattoo which was the best decision and I highly recommend it read more

This place rules. Def a tight spot to get some fresh ink, check out Rel because the guys a crisp tattooing machine.

I've been getting tattooed at Millennium for years now and have never been disappointed once. I love everyone there but mostly get work done by Frank and Rel......I live in Cali now and still come home to get tattooed by my homies.... read more

Absolutely LOVE millenium!! Every time I walk in I feel very welcomed and the service is exceptional. I've gotten 2 tattoos here and 1 piercing and the work is incredible. My tattoo artist exceeded my expectations with his drawing of my tat and I am in love with it still! The quality and showmanship is truly off the hook and I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking to get QUALITY work done! 10 out of 5 stars!!! read more

Millennium Tattoo - Got this beautiful work done a couple months ago. In love with the quality! - Tattoo Near Me - Newburgh, New York

My daughter got a daith piercing here, first they said they take credit cards and when she went to pay they told her they don't that particular one but never stated so over the phone. The women that pierced my daughter bent the needle herself instead of using a pre bent needle. The piercer did not the proper jewelry for this piercing either and i believe she told my daughter she never did one before. My daughter was in severe pain during and after this piercing, she passed out in the shop. This is not her first piercing either. She has 3 holes in ears 2 of which she did herself, a nose piercing which was also a home job, a professional belly button piercing and angel and snake bites on her lips professionally done. Not 1 of those piercings got infected or had any problems. The swelling was insane also. She got an infection that she is still fighting a few months later. She went to another shop where she had an older piercing done and spoke to the piercer there also had her jewelry removed. This piercer told her they did it in the wrong place which is why it was so painful and shouldn't have bent the needle herself. She also told my daughter that the way/place it was pierced caused it to not properly heal allowing bacteria in for infection. This is her 3rd round of antibiotics and she may lose part of her ear if the infection does not properly respond to the antibiotics. This women had no business doing a piercing which she wasn't properly trained to do and had never attempted before. This place is horrible and doesn't care about their clients only money and they charged about $20 less any other shops in the area. Be careful going here, i wouldn't want anyone else to sufer the way she has been. And yes she was properly taking care of it as she has all her tattoos and piercings. read more

been going here for years. awesome artists and amazing work. the new shop is huge and conveniently located next to billy joes.
