    I came here for a tattoo for my birthday quite some time ago (about a year and a half) and I'm now looking into tattoo removal. I got an Arabic tattoo from a guy named Steve and it was pretty bad. (Photo included) I came in and told someone that I had an appointment for the tattoo and sat on a bench but it was tucked away in a corner. I waited probably 45 mins to an hour in a shop that was nearly empty to finally be worked on and when the guy comes out to tattoo me, he says that he forgot I was waiting. That really pissed me off but it was my birthday and this was the only thing I had planned to make the day special. I have other tattoos, but as I was getting tattooed, this one burned much more than any other tattoo I'd ever gotten. But he'd already started and it was a small tattoo so, I figured it was just a different gun and that I'd get through it. That was a mistake because I ended up getting a keloid even though I don't have keloids on any of my other tattoos. You can run your hands over my other tattoos and it doesn't even feel like there's a tattoo there. But this one is puffy and lifted. When I got out of the chair, I looked at the tattoo and the lines were much thicker than the lines on the photo we agreed on. It's a small Arabic tattoo that has some detail and because the lines were so thick, those small details are difficult to see. It looked like he tried to write something in a small space with a fat marker when he should've used a sharp pencil or pen if that helps explain it. But despite the lack of customer service on my birthday, the keloid, and my now blurry tattoo, the part that I'm the most disappointed about is that nothing was done by anyone at the shop to help. I reached out during the healing process to explain that something felt weird and I agreed to wait it out and see if anything changed once it was fully healed. I reached out a few months later and got no response. I would have never left this review if they just cared enough to try to fix it or at least tell me what my options are. I had heard nothing but good things about this place so, I was and I still am really disappointed. I know the artists can do better work than this and I feel like they just didn't care that day. You can't have days like that when you're putting something permanent on someone's body.

    I first saw Austin's work on the shop's Instagram page three years ago, and his style most closely aligned with the idea I had in mind for my first piece; the very first time I met him, he made a great first impression and he was genuinely enthusiastic about the idea I brought in. Obviously, he did not disappoint, since I keep coming back for more. It's awesome to see how his style and skill have evolved since that first piece - I've had strangers compliment his work, specifically his line work and shading. I've referred friends and family to him too, and they're consistently impressed by his work. Throughout the years and hours of time spent together working on my pieces, I've grown to implicitly trust his judgment and allow him to do his thing, and I've yet to be disappointed. I also have a great time with him during sessions, which adds to the experience and makes the occasional pain way more bearable. Both Austin and the shop are fantastic, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone.

    I was hoping to get a tattoo originally at another place but things didn't work out. It's all good so I left. I recall my friendly fellow Yelper Colleen speaking highly of Revolver Tattoo and some friends of mine also mentioned this place so hubby and I drive down for just a consultation. Met Roman (? Friendly front guy) and I showed him what I wanted BUT I needed to modify it and have it with another animal. He refers me to Rayhart Flores. We talked and I showed him my picture and spoke about how I wanted it. "No problem," says Ray and he began to copy, modify and sketch and made more modifications. The man did this about three times before he was satisfied. He came back, showed me what his final product was and I said, "let's go!" He was a complete sweetheart. He made sure I knew every step he was doing and constantly asking if I was okay. Yup, told him I was nervous but I trusted him. To elevate my nerves we spoke about our families and food and where to go to get great food and before I knew it, we were done. Now I'm not going to lie and say it didn't hurt. Ray was so gentle he made it bearable and the finished product was perfect! When I first started I told him it'll be black and skin color. As we progressed, he never ever tried to push me to do anything I wasn't comfortable with. As we continued I decided to add color and he consulted with the colors before he just put it on me. That was so considerate. At the very end, I have a beautiful tattoo that I dedicate to the man I love and will grow old with. Thank you Ray for helping me achieve this.

    I got my first simple tattoo from Revolver in 2009. I remembered how much I enjoyed the atmosphere, so in 2015 when I decided I wanted something else, I went back. I asked who the best artist would be for what I was looking for and was directed to Austin. He reworked the piece a bit so that colors would show up nicely and not fade against my usually pale skin, and it came out flawless. A year later I went back again for something else. Since 2015, I've been back more than 30 times to complete 26 different pieces, and I've gone to Austin every time. If something won't look right on my skin, or if there's a way to make something just look better or cooler, he'll let me know, and I trust his opinion completely, but he takes into account what I like and am comfortable with. He's never steered me wrong, and I've been happy with every piece. Every artist should and does have their own style. I wouldn't want to have the exact same tattoo as someone else, so I always appreciate his tweaks to make a piece better. The business is friendly, accommodating, and clean. The prices are fair for excellent work. I've recommended it to everyone who's asked where I got my tattoos done, and I wouldn't go anywhere else or use a different artist.

    I've only gotten one tattoo done here but I was a walk-in on a random rainy Saturday and was done so much faster than I thought I'd be! I had gone to other places and asked other artists about a tattoo of something my friend who passed away had said. Each time they said it'd be fine and gave me a price quote but had to schedule. This place was the only place that was honest with me and shared their concerns about what I wanted. They even offered suggestions so that I could still get what I wanted and it came out perfectly. The artist who did my tattoo was fast and really easy to talk to. Though it wasn't my first tattoo, it had been a long time since I had gotten one done so I didn't remember how it felt. He talked me through the whole thing and kept me comfortable. Since it was faster than he thought the price even went down a little bit! I've also had many friends get tattooed specifically by Ray and all of their pieces came out amazing. When my boyfriend came in to ask about piercings, Ray told him that they no longer do that but gave a recommendation of a place and who to ask for. I intend to come back for my next.

    Very cool! Old wooden walking freezer converted in to tattoo art gallery.

    I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Myself and my wife were getting tattoo second time in our lives and were bit nervous about where to go. We were very happy to find this place. The staff is very professional and most importantly very courteous. They made us feel very comfortable. We knew what we wanted, but did not have a good idea about the art work. The artist there listened to us and took their time to come up with very nice art work for our tattoo. The place is very clean and decorated with some amazing artifacts. The old wooden meat market walking freezer has been turn in to a tattoo art gallery. The artist there, knows what they are doing. They gave us very fair price for our tattoo with out any back and forth negotiation.

    I stepped in today for a walk-in appointment. They said they were busy, took down my number, and gave me a call literally five minutes later to let me know they had someone available which was awesome :) They gave me the rundown of how inner lip tattoos don't last, but for the price, I honestly don't mind. Ray was super nice and I was nervous but he was professional and efficient and the tattoo barely hurt. Would def come back to Ray again!

    I had the most amazing experiences at Revolver Tattoo. My first tattoo was a cover up that Chuck did for me many years back. He was a newbie at the time, and the cover up was incredible! You can't even see the original bad tattoo (that I had gotten in The Village). The second tattoo was done by Chuck as well, and the artwork, colors and shading were exactly what I wanted. I absolutely love both of my tattoos by Chuck! Tonight, I got my third tattoo. Austin did this one...it is 3D lettering on my wrist, and I was blown away by his artistic skills as well! He is very friendly, talented and quite gentle with his tattooing. He exceeded my expectations, and I am so incredibly happy with my tattoo. I could not recommend this tattoo shop more highly. They do quality work, and have great attitudes. If you don't know where to go for a tattoo, I definitely would tell you to go here! I can vouch for both Austin and Chuck's amazing work.

    Finished session (not healed) !!

    Got two helix piercings on the same ear done by Chuck here at Sanctum. I originally called on a…read moreSunday to see if I could walk in, but just like the website says, they are busiest on weekends so appointments are recommended if you want to go in on a Saturday or Sunday. I made an appointment for Wednesday instead since that was the next time I was free. The guy who greeted me was very friendly. I let him know that I was interested in two helix piercings and he showed me the studs/rings that people typically get. I knew that I wanted rings (though beware: getting piercing with rings might make the healing process more annoying because the piercing can be irritated more easily) so I picked the surgical steel rings. (I don't remember if they were implant grade now though. I didn't react to the material anyway. For people looking to get pierced, you should double check that.) Chuck was both professional and very helpful. When he was marking the placement on my ears, he gave me a few choices and even suggested one combo over another. I was thankful for it because I have super tiny ears and I didn't want it to look too crowded. Nearly 5 months later, my piercings are perfectly fine. There was some irritation along the way (totally my fault, I'm fidgety...) and a little bump formed but I continued to do the suggested sea salt soaks and my piercings have healed beautifully. As for jewelry selections, I didn't take much time to browse, but it seemed like they had a good variety to choose from. Especially a great place for Rutgers students to get pierced since it's a brief walk from CAC to Easton Ave. I have a friend who's gone here twice -- once for a nose piercing and another for her own helix. Definitely recommend this place!

I was in town to visit and searched up local tattoo shops so I decided on this place. I was able to get a same day appointment and asked for a simple cross design on my finger. Tyler was my tattoo artist. I left the shop paying the $100 minimum for a simple tattoo- fair. However, when I left the tattoo was uneven, and when I texted them that night to fix it I did not get a response. I decided to show up the next morning where they fixed my tattoo (kind of) and went on my way. During the healing process I noticed a spot that was artificially tattooed- I thought it didn't look like it was penetrated into my skin enough as the rest of the tattoo. When I went in for them to fix it initially I already was made to feel like a bother so I figured, maybe it will heal right- they are the ones experienced in this right? I was in town visiting again this weekend so I had asked them for another retouch. I live 2 hours away and this is a 10 second fix. They did not answer my message and then I called them the next day where they finally answered. They could not accommodate to fix my tattoo until Monday. I shared that I leave town Sunday and would love if someone can just try and fix up my tattoo. It clearly is a botched tattoo and this is the second problem I've had with it. First the lines were uneven, and second there is a gap in the line (not to mention that it's crooked). They said they can get me in at 5pm Sunday as they had limited artists and shared how they warned me that a finger tattoo may often need touch ups. My tattoo isn't even a month old at this point and I was already in need of a touch up. I advised them that I actually already have a finger tattoo that is 6 years old at this point and has never needed a retouch. The pictures speak for themselves ‍ do not give this place business
