This is a diamond in the ruff.. They were very welcoming, personable and cost effective. I wanted a henna tattoo and decided to stop by after work.. When I got there the front desk young lady was very helpful and introduce me to Hans the tattoo artist.. I waited for a few while he wrapped up his late lunch. Once he came over, we started talking of my visions for what I was looking for.. He quickly started looking for ideas for my desired tattoo.. Once we decided on something we both liked... He started DRAWING his artwork! It was amazing and he was very humbled and accommodating.. While getting tattooed the crew was very funny, engaging and cheerful.. Their music selection was pretty good too! Definitely going back for tatts that don't break the bank with a great crew that feels like family... read more

I've been going to this place since I was 18 years old. I'm a professional baseball player and travel a lot and couldn't find a place better then this. Every time have a great experience from the owner to all the other tattoo artist are very good and have gotten a tatto by all but also very friendly. Also work is very clean and detailed best of the best in New York. They're also willing to negotiate prices and are not like other places in New York where they over price everything. They're super professional and clean. Only down I have for this place is availability but that's expected when you're good at what you do and have the clientele that they have. Deff recommend this place as best place in New York. Will always come back and remain loyal read more

I had planned what my next tattoo would be for months and was just looking for the perfect place to do it at. Loe and behold... these guys are right around my corner. SO happy I found them. I popped by last night to see about making an appointment and look at my artwork. Everyone there was super helpful and I got an appointment for the next afternoon. So today, Michael did an awesome job! He really listened to what I wanted, had a great sense of space and color and has a beautiful portfolio. He was gentle with a steady hand and always made sure I was ok. I am VERY happy with the results. This is my forth tattoo and I have never gone back to the same place twice. I will definitely return here again! read more

I have been going to Pedro B (Root Of Evil) for several years now and he has never disappointed. Completed my first sleeve (about 4-5 separate sessions, 32 36 hours in total). You guys are the best at what you do. Also, the entire vibe inside the tattoo shop is top notch. Everyone is very friendly and music going, even Hookah is consistently lit if you like, just to make you feel at home and comfortable. Keep doing great work Pedro and the entire "Root OF Evil" team in Washington Heights. I will be going back for more work very soon (after the holidays :) You guys are the best! Miguel B read more

I'm very clean cut about my tattoos and lining, especially getting an original name signature. Talented artist Michael Sosa really paid attention to detail also listened exactly what I wanted and in a matter of minutes he put together my beautiful tattoo. He is hella friendly and has the most steady hands (light as a feather, the tattoo didn't even hurt one bit not even a sting). I Deff recommend and give credit to this awesome artist! Especially that the shop itself is very sanitary. Thanks for tattoo bro! Won't be the last! read more

I got my tattoo done with Julian, he managed to not only help me out with coming up with a cool idea for my tattoo but he was very accommodating. They are very professional and clean, which obviously is something you want when getting a tattoo. Prices are reasonable, you really can't go wrong. Tattoos hurt, this is something you can't avoid anywhere but at ROE with the accommodations and awesome treatment it was def worth it, specially if your tattoo looks dope. Definitely returning. read more

Julian is AMAZING! I called the shop before hand to make sure I could walk-in and I never regretted giving them a chance. When I got there Julian sat with me to exchange ideas on a wrist piece I had wanted for the longest. He listened to everything I wanted and did better than I could have expected. The pricing is reasonable, the vibes in the shop are A1, and most importantly I was comfortable. Thanks again to Julian for everything! I'll definitely be back again. read more

She is truly amazing at what she does!!! The shop is extremely clean and spacious, everyone working there is very friendly, always a good vibe and great music! Will definitely be going back soon for tattoo number three! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for a tattoo of the George Washington Bridge and had an amazing experience. All the artists are so friendly and welcoming, and it's never boring there. We worked with Hans and he listened to our ideas and added so much clean detail to the design. His linework is really impressive and he even shaded the back joints of the bridge! Definitely recommend coming here! read more

I was looking for a tattoo shop in the area and found Root of Evil on google. I went in and Julian was working. He took his time helping me mesh together a few ideas to get exactly what I wanted. I've been to other places in New York, and this was by far my best experience. Great atmosphere, amazing artists and reasonable with prices. I plan to go back to Julian for another tattoo soon. read more

Absolutely love ROE. I've been going to Pedro for about 10 years now and he does not disappoint. His work is precise, and clean. His bedside manner is relaxing and professional. He makes you feel like you are in good hands which helps ease the nerves of getting tattooed. I will keep going to ROE until I run out of space to tattoo. I highly recommend his services! read more

Pedro was amazing and patient! He was conscious of my personal space (tattooed my sternum). Offered encouragement during the painful moments and was efficient with time. The energy in the place felt like home and this means a lot because 1 ...everyone wants a good experience and because 2.. the tattoo means a lot to me and came out PERFECT. Thankkkkkk you! read more

Overall had a great experience and now my go to shop! I handed Pedro a pretty big and complex design and knocked it out of the park and couldn't be happier!
