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.

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 :))

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!
