My girlfriend and I originally planned to get our first tattoos on the same day, but scheduling didn't work out which was totally fine. She got hers done first and I was able to be there with her, then I came back a few days later for mine and she was there for me. It ended up working out perfectly. Jay Sway did my first tattoo and absolutely crushed it. The linework is clean, it looks incredible, and he made the whole experience comfortable and easy. He's a genuinely good guy. Shoutout to the woman at the front desk as well, she was super kind and welcoming. Overall, nothing but a great experience. I'd 110% recommend Tymeless and I'm already looking forward to my next one.

I frequently recommend this tattoo shop to anyone I know that is sincerely interested in getting a tattoo. The warm and inviting atmosphere puts them above and beyond everyone else. Corinne, Jon, Penny, Dan and Mike all do amazing work. For a first timer: go to Dan, his touch is as soft as an angel. If you want color: go to Corinne, her colors pop like neon lights when she wants them to. If you want something detailed and intense: Jon and Penny have you covered. Jon's detail is some of the best in the area, and Penny's constantly working to be the best artist she can. Tell them RJ sent you.

My friend Nikki has been wanting her nose pierced for months now but couldn't find a legitimate place to get it done. Finally, I talked to my friend Tasha who recommended Inkorporated Tattoo Studio to me. She said she got her nose pierced there and it was a breeze. I called them up for my friend and they got us right in. Their piercer, Jeff, takes walk ins from 4-8pm everyday. When I called it was around 1pm and he wasn't in yet, but they called him up and he swung right over to do my friends piercing. No hassle. It was so easy. They are very accommodating. Jeff was awesome. My friend was a little nervous about the piercing but he walked her through step by step. He was so chill, friendly, and awesome! The vibes are so awesome at this place. They even have a dog Remy who is absolutely beauuutiiifullll! They also do some amazing tattoo work. Check out the pictures. I wouldn't go anywhere else in central new York for a piercing or tattoo. This place is legit. Check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed!!!
