I came here for my first tattoo & could not be happier with the turnout! TJ at the front was awesome with helping come up with a design & booking an appointment. Josh, the artist for my girlfriend & I, did an incredible job. Our tattoos were insanely clean & well-colored. They look nothing short of amazing. Josh also made it as painless as possible - he was extremely professional & easy to talk to throughout the session! And the pricing was very reasonable - this place will not break your wallet. Overall fantastic experience - my girlfriend & I will absolutely be going back! read more

Slingin' Ink Tattoo - Thigh tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

My husband and I had our first tattoo here. We had originally asked for Brody but he was completely tied up until February. The co-owner, Colleen is so nice, she took the time to talk to us and then stated perhaps another artist can tattoo us. She gave us some books to look at and we found Ryan Thompson. Ryan was wonderful! He was so nice and funny. He was very good about making suggestions to make it better. He advised us and never pressured us into doing any more things on a whim. In otherwords, he wants us happy and not to make a permanent mistake. Not going to lie...tattoos hurt. Not a OMG, I'm going to die hurt but an annoying, ouch hurt. My husband had it on his side and I had it on my wrist. Will definately go back to him. He's great. Since this is our first, I had to give out a four. read more

I love this place! I'm very spontaneous with my tattoos and whenever I want one they accept me right away as a walk in and it is always a really great time! They are extremely clean and their pricing is great! I usually go to Marshall. His artwork is absolutely amazing and he always makes sure I'm satisfied with my tattoo. I've gotten a lot of line work done by him and it is all perfect, not a single line is off. I am always happy leaving slingin' ink tattoo and I can not wait to return and get more! read more

I'm sure this place as a whole isn't bad, but I've only experienced being tattooed by Dan Paone here and he's a joke. All this guy is good for is big traditional cardinals and stuff like that. Which is totally fine! But I asked him to do a simple eye design on the back of my neck. He drew it up nice. Then tattoos it on me and does a terrible job. All I ask for is straight lines and symmetry. How do you call yourself an artist and can't even do a simple eye? If he was fatigued, or just not feeling it, he should have just told me. Now I have to go get this bad boy covered up because I hate it so much. The fact that he even let me walk out of his shop with that work on me is astonishing but whatever. Don't go to Dan unless you're looking for traditional sleeves and stuff because clearly he can't do small tattoos. I'll be posting photos of the tattoo, I'm def not overreacting.. it fucking sucks read more

My friend and I came into the shop on a whim to get tattoos and were immediately put at ease. We only had a slight idea of what we wanted, but TJ drew then up and they were exactly what we had in mind. Josh did the tattoos and he was extremely professional and easy to talk to, which made the experience great! The shop was really clean, and everyone was friendly and helpful. Totally recommend for your first tat or your 100th! read more

I've had three tattoos done here, two by Brody, and one by someone who now longer works there. My wife gets her tattoos done here, my dad got his done, as did my little brother. It's a cool establishment. Old school, good people. Brody and Colleen will talk to you about anything and everything, and it makes your sessions go much faster. Prices are very good, and the work is incredible. Brody's color work on my right arm looks nearly brand new after almost seven years! The family crest on my back, that my entire family has been getting, came out incredibly. The bottom line is that I don't trust anyone else to do my tattoos. Brody's done great work on me, and Jim has done great work on my wife. I'd only go to them in the future, and I've passed a lot of business their way through the years because of how great my tattoos look. read more

By way of background, I'm a 45-yo business professional who needs to keep any & all tattoos hidden. I've had 3 tattoos done at 3 different shops, all with mixed results. For my 4th, I was going to be exacting in my choice of shop. After 3 years of looking for a good artist who could conceptualize my idea AND who was good with shading, I found that in Jim W. @ Slingin' Ink. I gave him a few printouts of what I generally had in mind, explained the overall scene I had envisioned, and he had a finished picture in 4 days. It was perfect! Jim was VERY patient with me during the process. This was quite a large shoulder piece with a lot of black, so it really hurt at times. Plus, I'm a total wuss. Jim gave me breathers when I needed and was a complete professional for the entire 3 1/2 hours it took. When all the black, including shading, was done, he suggested I leave it alone & NOT do the color I had originally wanted. One look at the artwork he'd done and I absolutely agreed--he had shaded it so perfectly and absolutely caught the mood I was going for, any color would just detract from it. The shop itself looks little dingy & run-down but rest assured, they absolutely adhere to strict cleanliness guidelines. Again, Jim was extremely professional, incredibly patient, and talented beyond measure. I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Excellent job by Brody! Made sure the tattoo was perfect and in the perfect spot. Took his time and just an all around awesome guy! Colleen was an excellent host!! Can't say enough great things about this place. Will be back soon :):):) read more

I highly recommend this place! I have had three tattoos from Brody. All my family goes here. The place is clean and professional. The art is top notch. read more

All of my tattoos have been done by Jim, been pierced here. Amazing work, very cool people, good price. I have all black tattoos, but my husband and several of our friends have had extensive color/design work done by Brody and it is magnificent and long lasting. I highly recommend...they are closed Tuesday. Walk in Sundays...there is a line wrapped around the block trying to get a slot with Brody, so make sure you get there at the crack of dawn. If someone wants really expansive work, he could might only be good for 1-2 tattoos that day. read more

Marshall does an amazing job, clean line work and crazy bright colors. He always know exactly how to achieve what I'm asking for. The shop as a whole is wonderful and everyone is so nice and welcoming. When I walk into slingin ink I truly feel welcomed and at home read more

My brother and I were looking for a place to get a tattoo, with intentions of going to a different tattoo parlor. After the original place canceled on us twice, that led us to the awesome guys at Slingin' Ink. This shop is high quality in every sense of the word. The guys are awesome, professional, and there work is high quality. Ryan is just one of their great artists, so funny and wants to make sure you're ok each step of the way. If you're looking for a place for your first or fiftieth tattoo, this is the place to go! I know my next piece will be done by these guys! read more

Slingin' Ink Tattoo - Ying yang flower on back of my neck - Tattoo Near Me - Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

So I live in Florida which has a lot of phenomenal tattoo artist for sure but I have always come to slingin'ink. I called earlier today spoke with vinnie he was like can u b here in an hour I tried but not living here an hour turned into two which in any case no appointment i expected to wait a bit. So i get thrre and I'm sitting there well into 25 minutes with out anyone paying Mind to me even being there. Frankie comes out takes care of his customers payment clearly sees me and the other to people I'm with says nothing and takes his ignorant no customer service having self and walks back to behind the wall. Like WTF!!!!! another employee walks in tells them I'm there after I said something and then here comes Vinnie. Trying to repeat well I said within the hour again I had no issue waiting!!!!! My issue was in the fact that their customer service is completely below par. After his rant and mine he was more concerned about me being upset with him then the issue at hand! Told him I would wait but the whole ordeal left me with a bad taste on my mouth. I am a manger in retail and if anyone of my employees treated a guest as such they would be looking for other employment. Shout out to Rob the only one that seemed to give a shit about the issue as well as him offering his services in place of vinnie. Again I live in Florida with very talented tattoo artist, o come to slingin'ink for every tattoo on my person! If I were frankie and vinnie I would definitely Re-evaluate ur customer service skills bc having customers is how u get paid and are successful. You received a one on the rating bc had to I was very disappointed and made to feel like I was a bother! #slinginink read more

Awesome dudes. Great atmosphere. The best tattoos. Brody did an incredible cover-up-of-a-cover-up as a sleeve on my arm. Took multiple sessions and he always accommodated. Went six hours for one of them and he was able to push through. I always recommend Slingin' Ink to everyone I know. There's a lot of talent in that shop. read more

I got almost all of my tattoos from Brody and Jim. They are both really good.

Wouldn't go anywhere else. Ryan is incredible! He's a well rounded artist and always has great suggestions. Super clean place and very friendly! read more

I've gotten all my work done here and I love this place and the staff. My only regret with living in California is that these guys are 3000 miles away. read more

I just got a tattoo done by Marshall. I am very satisfied. I actually got letters changed from a prior tattoo. It was a tricky process, but Marshall took the time to figure it out. He used a Sharpie on my arm and tried multiple variations of the tricky letter until we were all happy. I've had 4 tattoos from 3 shops and this was my favorite. Big thumbs up! read more
