I cannot overstate how welcoming and professional the team at South Shore is. After reading some…read morestellar reviews and looking at online portfolios I was genuinely impressed with what I saw of Jesse's work. I had a vision of what I wanted done as a tribute to my sons and from my initial inquiry through the finishing touches they helped me bring it to life. Communication was spectacular every step of the way - I shared an overview of what I was looking for through those first texts which paved the way for a terrific consultation where Jesse took the time to go over everything, let me know what he needed from me, and provided some great resources for picking out the right font, even providing helpful pointers for what to look for in different fonts so that it would continue to look great for years to come. On arrival day of Jesse already had a mockup ready to go and was more than accommodating with some minor changes I wanted done. I can't say the process was painless for obvious reasons but it was as smooth as one could ever hope for. The work was clean, the price was extremely fair, and I left with a piece I'm super happy with that has already received a bunch of compliments even though it's still in the healing phase. South Shore has my highest recommendation and has definitely won a repeat customer with me. Can't wait to do it again.

This review is extremely overdue. A previous shop, Kinetic Tattoo in Levittown botched by fiancées…read moretattoo quite literally beyond belief. We went all over the island looking for help fixing it and everyone suggested laser removal with the promise of redoing it after the laser removed the tattoo. We went to Kings Avenue tattoo and words can't even describe how great this place is. It's upscale, clean, and professional. We met with a tall thin man with a shaved head (his name escapes me) and he immediately validated us and asked what he can do. My fiancee cried and he was extremely empathetic and sat with us for a long time talking about options. He was the only place who said he could do ANYTHING besides laser. We told him he could have complete artistic freedom as long as it didn't look so obviously botched. He told us to come back for an appointment and he would see what would be possible. No exaggeration, the artist worked complete magic. He actually took zero artistic freedom and somehow fixed it to how it was originally supposed to be. The tattoo is almost perfect and when we showed people afterwards they could not believe the difference. I am extremely detail oriented and I stared at the tattoo for a long time and it was literally perfect. If the original had come out like that, we would've been thrilled. If the owner reading this remembers this travesty we brought in and can remind me of the artists name, he and the original man we spoke to were saints. This is the only place we and our family would ever go for more tattoos, this place deserves to stay open forever. Thank you so so much for saving something as permanent and emotionally based as a tattoo, it means more than we can say.

From the moment you walk into the door you're greater with chill music, a welcoming atmosphere,…read moresuper friendly owner and staff. They offer you water and coffee while you wait. They chat you up a bit and then you meet your artist. In my case I had Chris Raft who was an expert in eastern and Japanese traditional tattoos. He draws up an example, prints it out and brings you back into the room. This place has separate rooms for each artist. Super clean and upscale looking. He laid down the stencil making sure it's positioned in the exact way wanted. He laid down the finest outline I ever had, filled it in with color that was flawless in every way. Talking the whole time making me feel comfortable. Super cool guy, when it's all done give you the opportunity to review it, take your photos for the gram, and gives you two different ways of protecting it. They have a second skin and the old school way of protecting your investment. The prices here are on the higher end but the services justified the price. You have to remember this is a permanent investment and you shouldn't go by price alone. I will be coming back here to get more work done with Chis in the very near future.

My son received his first tattoo by Kenny in June as a memory piece for his late father. We…read morerecently went back for his second at the beginning of January. On the same day, Kenny also tattooed a beautiful ankle bracelet with an evil eye. Their work overall is distinguished and beautiful. I am giving a four rather than a five for lack of response to a follow-up email to Ian and Kenny. It has been three weeks (the appointment was on 1/6/23, and the last email was sent on 2/4/23). Kenny said if I had any issues with my tattoo, to reach out, which I did. My pupil has a slight fade, so when I reached out, it was to add a bit of color to the pupil. Neither artist gave me the courtesy of returning my email, which I find disappointing. Why offer the opportunity to reach out when you ignore any communication from the customer? Due to the lack of response, I am taking it personally and guess that they no longer want us as a customer for their establishment for additional work. I feel sorry for my son due he expressed having Kenny continue working on his arm. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option. Now we have to find a new artist due to the catfish/ghosting from Amity Irons.

I've been wanting to get a tattoo for a while but I didn't know where to go. After passing by this…read moreshop a few times, I finally decided to check it out. Upon arrival, my sister and I were impressed by how clean it was. The interior colors weren't dark but vibrant. The artwork on the wall wasn't intimidating, and the workers were present but definitely about their business. As we spoke to the front desk manager, she provided us with details about pricing, scheduling, and leaving a deposit. On the day of our appointment, we spoke with Tiffany about the design and she presented ideas of how to improve it. She was professional, courteous, and flexible. This being my first tattoo, she made me feel comfortable by describing what to expect, which helped to calm my nerves- her pink bedazzled tattoo gun helped as well. One thing I appreciated was the extent they took to sanitize the room after each person was done. All in all, Tiffany did an amazing job! She is a passionate artist who takes pride in her work. I would be more than happy to recommend her services and personally use her for any future tattoo needs.

What a splendid diamond in the rough…read more Inside is airy and bright, towards the back is a tattoo parlor but feel free to stick to the caffination station towards the front like I did. Floral palates will love the menu as a lot of the homemade syrups are based in lavender, chamomile and other fauna. Plus the baked good are also homemade which is a definite plus. As I ordered, I could see them literally placing flowers on a cake with a mascarpone chantilly, like hello??? I ordered a rosemary brown sugar latte and brown butter chocolate cookie and tucked myself into a nook to read. The rosemary latte, of course, hits you with rosemary immediately. Unique but a pleasant and addictive sip nonetheless. The cookie though? Probably one of the best I have ever had on the island. It's slightly molasses-y, crisp, with plenty of chocolate and salt to balance it all out. Overall? Well worth the drive out. Come give them a chance!

Amazing tattoo shop!…read more I came here after following both the shop and their apprentice artist (Nicole) on Instagram. The shop looks tiny from the outside but inside it is cozy and welcoming. Their online booking system is great and allowed me to communicate with Nicole regarding my tattoo. When the time came to head over to the shop, I received a text with the waiver and a place to upload an image of my license. Much better than handling all that paperwork in the shop! Nicole was great and personable and made sure I was more than happy with the stencil placement prior to actually tattooing me. There were only two others in the shop so it was a rather quiet experience except for Nicole and I chatting (which I appreciated). The aftercare balm they suggest is only $5 which is a nice touch! They also give you an aftercare bag full of goodies, including a lollipop.
