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!!

That saved me, honestly this place is very good, they explain how I should take care of and treat your piercing. You must go to this place!

If I'm ever back in New York I'm def coming back!!!

Abel is my artist. The consultation process made the whole thing easy, he understands the vision on…read morewhat I want for my half sleeve. We communicated back and forth, session 1 was just this Saturday 8/28. From the second I walked in all of the artist were incredibly welcoming offering my beverages/snacks and constantly checking on my comfort. Abel took his time and had incredible patience with any changes that I wanted to make on the spot whether it was with positioning or sizing of the tattoo. I am very satisfied and can't wait to continue working on the tattoo that I have wanted for over 2 decades now!

Cool shop, and nice people but super overpriced. A space filler shouldn't be 300 dollars. Felt like…read moreI was being "cool guyed". I liked the artist but feel like I was price gouged. Disappointed with what I got for what I payed. I am heavily tattooed and understand that it's a well known shop in the city but 300 for a tiny tattoo doesn't feel great. Definitely won't be going back which is unfortunate.

Way too expensive! It felt kinda bait & switchish. They never gave us a solid number even after…read moresketching and placement was done (something we should've made sure of) but for a simple tattoo with only 6 letters, he at least could've blended it in a little more with the tattoo above! Maybe some lines or shading? Idk. The work itself is nice but not worth $250. Can't say we'd be back or recommend.

5/5! Couldn't recommend more!…read more Texted for a drop in last minute and Maksim was quick to respond and helped me get set up quickly for an appointment later that day (half the time you're waiting for an artist for MONTHS at other places). My artist, Susy, is just the best. She was so welcoming, patient, and kind to start and her artwork is simply sublime. From concept to execution, Susy is the real deal.

I absolutely loved my experience at UPLIFT Tattoo in NYC. From the moment I walked in, the…read moreatmosphere felt welcoming, professional, and very detail oriented. Bussy was amazing and helped me change all my piercings, including my ears and belly button. He made the whole process feel easy, comfortable, and stress free. You can really feel how experienced and attentive he is. I also got three sweet tiny fineline tattoos with Junh, and I couldn't be happier. His work is incredibly precise, delicate, and elegant. The process was much less painful than I expected, and he made me feel calm and confident the entire time. The studio has a beautiful, clean aesthetic and the whole team truly cares about your experience. I'm so happy I trusted them and I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend UPLIFT if you are looking for quality tattoos or piercings in New York. And but thank you to Maksim for making me feel like I was there in another life :))

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!!!

I decided to finally face my fears and get my first tattoo. I stumbled across Jing when I was…read moresearching for artists and while the salon wasn't in my area I was willing to make the trip anyway. I emailed my idea and availability and they got back to me a few days later because they were on vacation. I didn't end up booking until maybe almost a month later (emailed in June) because I had to make sure I had the right amount of funds. Thankfully the deposit I made secured my spot for the following week and due to wanting a change in the design Yida was kind enough to consult with me on the change. The tattoo was on my chest and it was quite painful but at the same time tolerable. Jing did a lovely job on my piece and I felt at ease being there. We took breaks but she finished in about two and a half hours. I'll cherish this piece for the rest of my life. I definitely plan on coming back soon. I feel like I made the right choice in trusting Jing!
